Underwriter’s Cutback In connection with any registration of shares, including any Underwritten Shelf Takedown, the underwriter may determine that marketing factors (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price) require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section 3 and subject to the terms of this Section 3.3.1, the underwriter may limit the number of shares which would otherwise be included in such registration or Underwritten Shelf Takedown by excluding any or all Registrable Securities from such registration or Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Upon receipt of notice from the underwriter of the need to reduce the number of shares to be included in the registration or Underwritten Shelf Takedown, the Company shall advise all holders of the Company’s securities that would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of such securities, including Registrable Securities, that may be included in the registration or Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall be allocated in the following manner: shares, other than Registrable Securities, requested to be included in such registration or Underwritten Shelf Takedown by other shareholders shall be excluded unless the Company, with the consent of the parties required to approve any amendment or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2, has granted registration rights which are to be treated on an equal basis with Registrable Securities for the purpose of the exercise of the underwriter cutback (such shares afforded such equal treatment being “Parity Shares”); and, if a limitation on the number of shares is still required, the number of Registrable Securities, Parity Shares and other shares of Common Stock that may be included in such registration or Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall be allocated, as nearly as practicable, as follows:
Underwriters’ Questionnaire Your acceptance of the Invitation Wire for an Offering or your participation in an Offering as an Underwriter will confirm that you have no exceptions to the Underwriters’ Questionnaire attached as Exhibit A hereto (or to any other questions addressed to you in any Wires relating to the Offering previously sent to you), other than exceptions noted by you In Writing in connection with the Offering and received from you by us before the time specified in the Invitation Wire or any subsequent Wire.
Piggy-Back Registrations If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6(e) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement.
Underwriter No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting U.S. Underwriter from liability in respect of its default. In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement or, in the case of a Date of Delivery which is after the Closing Time, which does not result in a termination of the obligation of the U.S. Underwriters to purchase and the Company to sell the relevant U.S. Option Securities, as the case may be, either the U.S. Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term "U.S. Underwriter" includes any person substituted for a U.S. Underwriter under this Section 10.
Underwriting in Piggyback Registration In the event of an underwritten registration pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.2, any Holder who requests to have Registrable Shares included in such registration shall enter into such custody agreements and powers of attorney as are reasonably requested by the Corporation and any such underwriter, and, if requested, enter into an underwriting agreement containing customary terms.
Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns Following the expiration of the applicable Lock-Up Period, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, any Holder or the Sponsor (any of the Holders or the Sponsor, a “Demanding Holder”) may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering or other coordinated offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder, either individually or together with other Demanding Holders, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $25 million (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Company shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the initial Demanding Holder’s prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Holders, collectively, on the one hand, and the Sponsor, on the other hand, may each demand Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this Section 2.1.5 (i) not more than two times in any 12-month period (the “Yearly Limit”) and (ii) not more than five times in the aggregate (the “Total Limit”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may effect any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then-effective Registration Statement, including a Form S-3, that is then available for such offering.
Selection of Underwriter in Demand Registration The Fund shall (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through the underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form for an underwritten offering made solely by selling shareholders with the underwriter or, if more than one, the lead underwriter acting as the representative of the underwriters (the “Underwriters’ Representative”) selected for the underwriting by the Initiating Holder and with the consent of the Fund, not to be unreasonably withheld.
Piggy Back Registration If at any time the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company for its own account or for the account of any of its respective security holders (other than (x) a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or any substitute form that may be adopted by the Commission), (y) a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or any substitute form that may be adopted by the Commission); provided that such Registration Statement on Form S-4 does not include any securities other than the securities to be issued by the Company in connection with a transaction that is referenced in clauses (1) through (3) of the General Instructions A.1. of Form S-4 (as such General Instructions are currently in effect), or (z) a Registration Statement pursuant to a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1), then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders as soon as practicable (but in no event less than 30 days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to register such number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof and shall also state the firm intent of the Holder to offer Registrable Securities for sale) (a "Piggy-Back Registration"). The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company or any other security holder included therein and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof. Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.2 by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw, provided that in the event of such withdrawal (other than pursuant to Section 2.3(c) hereof), such Holder shall be responsible for the fees and expenses referred to in Section 3.3(viii) hereof incurred by such Holder prior to such withdrawal relating to such Registration Statement. The Company may withdraw a Piggy-Back Registration at any time prior to the time it becomes effective. No registration effected under this Section 2.2, and no failure to effect a registration under this Section 2.2, shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect a registration upon the request of Holders pursuant to Section 2.1, and no failure to effect a registration under this Section 2.2 and to complete the sale of Registrable Securities in connection therewith shall relieve the Company of any other obligation under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Company's obligations under Sections 3.2 and 4.1).
Piggyback Registration (a) If the Company proposes to register any Equity Securities under the Securities Act, whether or not for sale for its own account (including pursuant to a Demand Registration), in connection with a public offering (other than a public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed in connection with a transaction of the type described in Rule 145 of the Securities Act or for the purpose of issuing securities pursuant to an employee benefit plan) it will each such time, subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(b) hereof, give prompt written notice at least five days prior to the anticipated filing date of the registration statement relating to such registration to all Shareholders and their respective Permitted Transferees (or, in the case of a Demand Registration to all Shareholders and their Permitted Transferees other than the Shareholder making the demand), which notice shall set forth such Shareholders' rights under this Section 5.2 and shall offer all Shareholders the opportunity to include in such registration statement such number of shares of Common Stock as each such Shareholder may request (a "Piggyback Registration"). Upon the written request of any such Shareholder made within 2 days (one of which shall be a Business Day) after the receipt of notice from the Company (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Shareholder), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by such Shareholders, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered; provided, that (i) if such registration involves an Underwritten Public Offering, all such Shareholders requesting to be included in the Company's registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected as provided in Section 5.4(f) on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company or the other selling Shareholder, as applicable, and (ii) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register on its own behalf any stock and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such stock, the Company shall give written notice to all such Shareholders and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration. No registration effected under this Section 5.2 on behalf of the Company shall relieve the Company of its obligations to effect a Demand Registration, to the extent required by Section 5.1 hereof. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 5.2.
Underwritten Shelf Takedown At any time and from time to time after a Resale Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, the Holders may request to sell all or any portion of the Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided, however, that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include securities with a total offering price (including piggyback securities and before deduction of underwriting discounts) reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $10,000,000. All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Company shall include in any Underwritten Shelf Takedown the securities requested to be included by any Holder (each a “Takedown Requesting Holder”) at least 48 hours prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of such Holder (including those set forth herein). All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under this subsection 2.3.5 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the majority-in-interest of the Takedown Requesting Holders initiating the Underwritten Shelf Takedown.
