Request for Registration Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4 and Section 2.4 hereof, at any time and from time to time on or after the date the Company consummates the Business Combination, the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities (the “Demanding Holders”) may make a written demand for Registration of all or part of their Registrable Securities, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof (such written demand a “Demand Registration”). The Company shall, within ten (10) days of the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, notify, in writing, all other Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration, a “Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the Company, in writing, within five (5) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder(s) to the Company, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall effect, as soon thereafter as practicable, but not more than forty five (45) days immediately after the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, the Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant to such Demand Registration. Under no circumstances shall the Company be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of three (3) Registrations pursuant to a Demand Registration under this subsection 2.1.1 with respect to any or all Registrable Securities; provided, however, that a Registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement that may be available at such time (“Form S-1”) has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities requested by the Requesting Holders to be registered on behalf of the Requesting Holders in such Form S-1 Registration have been sold, in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement.
Exchange Offer Registration The Company shall (A) file with the SEC on or prior to the 90th day after the Closing Time an Exchange Offer Registration Statement covering the offer by the Company to the Holders to exchange all of the Registrable Securities for a like aggregate principal amount of Exchange Securities, (B) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC no later than the 180th day after the Closing Time, (C) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective until the closing of the Exchange Offer and (D) use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Exchange Offer no later than 210 days after the Closing Time. Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly commence the Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Exchange Offer to enable each Holder eligible and electing to exchange Registrable Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming that such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the 1933 Act, acquires the Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder’s business and has no arrangements or understandings with any Person to participate in the Exchange Offer for the purpose of distributing such Exchange Securities) to trade such Exchange Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or restrictions under the 1933 Act or under the securities or blue sky laws of the States of the United States. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall:
(i) promptly mail to each Holder a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents;
(ii) keep the Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders and, during the Exchange Offer, offer to all Holders who are legally eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer the opportunity to exchange their Registrable Securities for Exchange Securities;
(iii) use the services of a depositary with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for the Exchange Offer;
(iv) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Registrable Securities at any time prior to the close of business, New York City time, on the last business day on which the Exchange Offer shall remain open, by sending to the institution specified in the Prospectus or the related letter of transmittal or related documents a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Registrable Securities delivered for exchange, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Securities exchanged;
(v) notify each Holder that any Registrable Security not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest, but will not retain any rights under this Agreement (except in the case of the Initial Purchasers and Participating Broker-Dealers as provided herein); and
(vi) otherwise comply in all material respects with all applicable laws relating to the Exchange Offer. If, at or prior to the consummation of the Exchange Offer, any of the Initial Purchasers holds any Securities acquired by it and having the status of an unsold allotment in the initial distribution, the Company shall, upon the request of any such Initial Purchaser, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer, issue and deliver to such Initial Purchaser in exchange for such Securities a like principal amount of debt securities of the Company that are identical (except that such debt securities shall be subject to transfer restrictions, minimum purchase requirements and shall bear a legend relating to restrictions on ownership and transfer identical to those applicable to the Securities as a result of the issuance thereof without registration under the 1933 Act and shall provide for the payment of Additional Interest) to the Exchange Securities (the “Private Exchange Securities”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Private Exchange Securities bear the same CUSIP number as the Exchange Securities and, if unable to do so, the Company will, at such time as any Private Exchange Security ceases to be a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, permit any such Private Exchange Security to be exchanged for a like principal amount of Exchange Securities. The Company shall not have any liability under this Agreement solely as a result of any such Private Exchange Securities not bearing the same CUSIP number as the Exchange Securities. The Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Securities (if any) shall be issued under the Indenture, which shall be qualified under the TIA. The Indenture shall provide that the Exchange Securities, the Private Exchange Securities (if any) and the Securities shall vote and consent together on all matters as a single class and shall constitute a single series of debt securities issued under the Indenture. As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer, the Company shall:
(i) accept for exchange all Registrable Securities duly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the letter of transmittal which is an exhibit thereto;
(ii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Securities so accepted for exchange by the Company; and
(iii) cause the Trustee promptly to authenticate and deliver Exchange Securities to each Holder of Registrable Securities so accepted for exchange equal in principal amount to the principal amount of the Registrable Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange. Interest on each Exchange Security and such Private Exchange Security (if any) will accrue from the last date on which interest was paid or duly provided for on the Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for on such Securities, from the Interest Accrual Date. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than (i) that the Exchange Offer, or the making of any exchange by a Holder, does not violate any applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC, (ii) that no action or proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court or by or before any governmental agency with respect to the Exchange Offer which, in the Company’s judgment, would reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Company to proceed with the Exchange Offer, and (iii) that the Holders tender the Registrable Securities to the Company in accordance with the Exchange Offer. Each Holder of Registrable Securities (other than Participating Broker-Dealers) who wishes to exchange such Registrable Securities for Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer will be required to represent that (i) it is not an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the 0000 Xxx) of the Company, (ii) any Exchange Securities to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of business and (iii) it has no arrangement with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the 0000 Xxx) of the Exchange Securities, and shall be required to make such other representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations or interpretations to render the use of Form S-4 or another appropriate form under the 1933 Act available. To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall inform, upon the Initial Purchasers’ request, the Initial Purchasers of the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities to whom the Exchange Offer is made and, to the extent such information is available to the Company, the names and addresses of the beneficial owners of such Securities, and the Initial Purchasers shall have the right to contact such Holders and beneficial owners and otherwise facilitate the tender of Registrable Securities in the Exchange Offer.

Voter Registration When designated by the Secretary of State, the Contractor agrees to become a voter registration agency as defined by 17 V.S.A. §2103 (41), and to comply with the requirements of state and federal law pertaining to such agencies.
No Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address (a) The CVRs shall not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.
(b) Upon receipt from Parent of the names and addresses of each Holder and the number of CVRs held by such Holder, the Rights Agent shall keep a register (the “CVR Register”) for the registration of CVRs in a book-entry position for each Holder of a CVR. The CVR Register shall set forth the name and address of each Holder, and the number of CVRs held by such Holder and Tax Identification Number of each Holder. Each of Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative may receive and inspect a copy of the CVR Register, from time to time, upon written request made to the CVR Registrar. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such request, the CVR Registrar shall deliver a copy of the CVR Register, as then in effect, to Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative at the address set forth in Section 7.1. The Rights Agent is hereby initially appointed “CVR Registrar” for the purpose of registering CVRs and transfers of CVRs as herein provided.
(c) Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 3.2, every request made to transfer a CVR must be in writing and accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer and any other reasonably requested documentation in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the CVR Registrar, duly executed by the registered Holder or Holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney. A request for a transfer of a CVR shall be accompanied by documentation establishing that the transfer is to a Permitted Transferee and shall thereafter be supplemented with and any other information as may be reasonably requested by Parent or the CVR Registrar (including opinions of counsel, if appropriate). Upon receipt of such written notice, the CVR Registrar shall, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form and the transfer otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions herein on its face, without investigation or inquiry by the Rights Agent, register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register. All duly transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register shall be the valid obligations of Parent, evidencing the same rights and entitling the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement as those held by the transferor immediately prior to such transfer. No transfer of a CVR shall be valid until registered in the CVR Register, and any transfer not duly registered in the CVR Register will be void ab initio (unless the transfer was permissible hereunder and such failure to be duly registered is attributable to the fault of the CVR Registrar). Any transfer or assignment of the CVRs shall be without charge by Parent or the CVR Registrar (other than the cost of any Tax which shall be the responsibility of the transferor) to the Holder.
(d) A Holder may make a written request to the CVR Registrar to change such Holder’s address of record in the CVR Register. The written request must be duly executed by the Holder and accompanied by such other evidence of the Holder’s identity or interest in the CVR as reasonably requested by the Rights Agent. Upon receipt of such written notice, the CVR Registrar is hereby authorized to, and shall promptly, record the change of address in the CVR Register.
(e) The Stockholders’ Representative may make a written request to the Rights Agent for a list containing the names, addresses and number of CVRs of the Holders that are registered in the CVR Register. Within five (5) Business Days following the date of receipt by the Rights Agent of such request, the CVR Registrar shall deliver a copy of such list to the Stockholders’ Representative.
Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Equipment Notes The Loan Trustee shall keep a register or registers (the “Equipment Note Register”) in which the Loan Trustee shall provide for the registration of Equipment Notes and the registration of transfers of Equipment Notes. No such transfer shall be given effect unless and until registration hereunder shall have occurred. The Equipment Note Register shall be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Trustee. The Loan Trustee is hereby appointed “Equipment Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Equipment Notes and transfers of Equipment Notes as herein provided. A holder of any Equipment Note intending to exchange or transfer such Equipment Note shall surrender such Equipment Note to the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, together with a written request from the registered holder thereof for the issuance of a new Equipment Note of the same Series, specifying, in the case of a surrender for transfer, the name and address of the new holder or holders. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Equipment Note and subject to satisfaction of Section 2.09, the Company shall execute, and the Loan Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Equipment Notes of an equal aggregate principal amount and of the same Series. At the option of the Noteholder, Equipment Notes may be exchanged for other Equipment Notes of the same Series of any authorized denominations of an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Equipment Notes to be exchanged to the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any Equipment Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Loan Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Equipment Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Equipment Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes (whether under this Section 2.07 or under Section 2.08 or otherwise under this Indenture) shall be the valid obligations of the Company evidencing the same respective obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits under this Indenture, as the Equipment Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Equipment Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer shall (if so required by the Company or the Loan Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Loan Trustee, duly executed by the Noteholder or such Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Company and the Loan Trustee shall require evidence satisfactory to it as to the compliance of any such transfer with the Securities Act and the securities laws of any applicable state or jurisdiction. The Loan Trustee shall make a notation on each new Equipment Note of the amount of all payments of principal amount previously made on the old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes with respect to which such new Equipment Note is issued and the date to which interest on such old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes has been paid. Principal, interest and all other amounts shall be deemed to have been paid on such new Equipment Note to the date on which such amounts shall have been paid on such old Equipment Note. The Company shall not be required to exchange any surrendered Equipment Notes as provided above (a) during the ten-day period preceding the due date of any payment on such Equipment Note or (b) that has been called for redemption. The Company and the Loan Trustee shall in all cases deem and treat the Person in whose name any Equipment Note shall have been issued and registered on the Equipment Note Register as the absolute owner and the Noteholder of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Equipment Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Loan Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Loan Trustee will promptly notify the Company of each registration of a transfer of an Equipment Note. Any such transferee of an Equipment Note, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, agrees to the provisions of the Indenture, the Related Indentures, the Participation Agreement, the other Operative Documents and the Pass Through Documents applicable to the Noteholders or, in the case of each Related Indenture, Related Noteholders, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such transferee of an Equipment Note, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note: (i) agrees to the applicable provisions of Section 6.01, Section 7.10 and Section 7.11 of the Participation Agreement, and shall be deemed to have represented, warranted and covenanted to the parties to the Participation Agreement as to the matters represented, warranted and covenanted by the Noteholders, including the Pass Through Trustees, in the Participation Agreement and (ii) agrees to the restrictions set forth in Section 4.01(a)(ii) and Section 4.01(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement, and shall be deemed to have covenanted to the parties to the Intercreditor Agreement not to give any direction to, or otherwise authorize, the Loan Trustee to take any action that would violate Section 4.01(a)(ii) or Section 4.01(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to compliance by the Noteholder and its transferee (if any) of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.07 and in Section 2.09, the Loan Trustee and the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment Notes upon transfer or exchange within ten Business Days of the date an Equipment Note is surrendered for transfer or exchange.
Certificate Registration Except in the event the Exercise Price is paid by means of a Cashless Exercise, the certificate for the shares as to which the Option is exercised shall be registered in the name of the Optionee, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Optionee.
Exchange Offer Registration Statement In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company and the Guarantors shall comply with all of the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof, shall use their reasonable best efforts to effect such exchange to permit the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and shall comply with all of the following provisions:
(i) If in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company there is a question as to whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable law, each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the Company and the Guarantors to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Initial Securities. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees to pursue the issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level but shall not be required to take commercially unreasonable action to effect a change of Commission policy. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees, however, to (A) participate in telephonic conferences with the Commission, (B) deliver to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Company setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) diligently pursue a favorable resolution by the Commission staff of such submission.
(ii) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall furnish, upon the request of the Company, prior to the Consummation thereof, a written representation to the Company (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an affiliate of the Company, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Securities in its ordinary course of business. In addition, all such Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities shall otherwise cooperate in the Company’s preparations for the Exchange Offer. Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Broker-Dealer and any such Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired in the Exchange Offer (1) could not under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters (which may include any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K if the resales are of Exchange Securities obtained by such Holder in exchange for Initial Securities acquired by such Holder directly from the Company.
