Shelf Takedowns In the event that Echo files a shelf registration statement under Rule 415 of the Securities Act pursuant to a Holder Demand and such registration becomes effective (such registration statement, a “Shelf Registration Statement”), any Holder of Registrable Securities registered on such Shelf Registration Statement shall have the right at any time or from time to time to elect to sell Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering, including a “block trade” conducted as an underwritten offering, pursuant to such registration statement (“Shelf Registrable Securities”) or in any other manner contemplated by the “Plan of Distribution” in such registration statement. Any Holder making a Holder Demand may make such election by delivering to Echo a written request (a “Shelf Underwriting Request”) for such underwritten offering to Echo specifying the number of Shelf Registrable Securities that such Holder desires to sell pursuant to such underwritten offering (the “Shelf Underwriting”). As promptly as practicable, but no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of a Shelf Underwriting Request (or, in the case of a “block trade,” such shorter period as is reasonably practicable), Echo shall give written notice (the “Shelf Underwriting Notice”) of such Shelf Underwriting Request to all Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities, and the Shelf Underwriting Notice shall offer each Holder the opportunity to include in the Shelf Underwriting that number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request in writing in accordance with this Section 2.1(j). Echo shall include in such Shelf Underwriting (x) the Shelf Registrable Securities of the Holders making the Shelf Underwriting Request and (y) the Shelf Registrable Securities of any other Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities which shall have made a written request to Echo for inclusion in such Shelf Underwriting (which request shall specify the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) (such persons, “Potential Takedown Participants”) within three (3) Business Days after the Shelf Underwriting Notice has been delivered (or, in the case of a “block trade,” one (1) Business Day). If such Shelf Underwriting is being conducted as a “block trade,” any Potential Takedown Participant’s request to participate in such Shelf Underwriting shall be binding on the Potential Takedown Participant; provided that each such Potential Takedown Participant that elects to participate may condition its participation on such Shelf Underwriting being completed within ten (10) Business Days and/or its acceptance at a price per share (after giving effect to any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) to such Potential Takedown Participant of not less than ninety two percent (92%) (or such lesser percentage specified by such Potential Takedown Participant) of the closing price for the shares of Common Stock on their principal trading market on the Business Day immediately prior to such Potential Takedown Participant’s election to participate. Echo shall, as expeditiously as possible, use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such Shelf Underwriting. Once a Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective, the Holders of Registrable Securities may request, and Echo shall be required to facilitate, an unlimited number of Shelf Underwritings with respect to such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that Echo shall not be required to facilitate a Shelf Underwriting until at least 90 days after the later of the date of the underwriting agreement in any prior Shelf Underwriting effected pursuant to this Section 2.1(j) and the effective date of any previous Demand Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1(j), (A) each Shelf Underwriting must include, in the aggregate (based on the shares of Common Stock included in such Shelf Underwriting by all Holders participating in such Shelf Underwriting), shares of Common Stock having an aggregate market value of at least $100 million (determined as of the date the Shelf Underwriting Request is made), unless the Shelf Underwriting is of the balance of the Registrable Securities held by the applicable Holder making a Holder Demand and its Affiliates and (B) each Shelf Underwriting is subject to Section 2.1(k).
Shelf Takedown At any time and from time to time following the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement required by subsection 2.1.1 or 2.1.2, any Holder(s) may request to sell all or a portion of their Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to such shelf registration statement (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”) provided that such Holder(s) (a) reasonably expect aggregate gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000 from such Shelf Underwritten Offering or (b) reasonably expects to sell all of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder in such Shelf Underwritten Offering but in no event for less than $10,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds. All requests for a Shelf Underwritten Offering shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (the “Shelf Takedown Notice”). Each Shelf Takedown Notice shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Shelf Underwritten Offering and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Shelf Underwritten Offering. Within five (5) business days after receipt of any Shelf Takedown Notice, the Company shall give written notice of such requested Shelf Underwritten Offering to all other Holders of Registrable Securities (the “Company Shelf Takedown Notice”) and, subject to reductions consistent with the Pro Rata calculations in subsection 2.2.4, shall include in such Shelf Underwritten Offering all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein, within five (5) days after sending the Company Shelf Takedown Notice. The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement in a form as is customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected by the initiating Holder(s) after consultation with the Company and shall take all such other reasonable actions as are requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. In connection with any Shelf Underwritten Offering contemplated by this subsection 2.1.3, subject to Section 3.4 and Article IV, the underwriting agreement into which each Holder and the Company shall enter shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations of the Company and the selling stockholders as are customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company.
Piggyback Underwritten Offerings In the case of a registration pursuant to Section 2.2 which involves an underwritten offering, the Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement in connection therewith and all of the Participating Holders’ Registrable Securities to be included in such registration shall be subject to such underwriting agreement. Any Participating Holder may, at its option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Participating Holder and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of such Participating Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make any representations or warranties with respect to written information specifically provided by a Participating Holder for inclusion in the registration statement. Each such Participating Holder shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Participating Holder, its ownership of and title to the Registrable Securities, any written information specifically provided by such Participating Holder for inclusion in the registration statement and its intended method of distribution; and any liability of such Participating Holder to any underwriter or other Person under such underwriting agreement shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Participating Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement and shall be limited to liability for written information specifically provided by such Participating Holder.
Required Registrations At any time or times after the date hereof (so long as IXC shall own Registrable Securities which are not eligible for sale by IXC under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act), IXC may notify the Company in writing that it (i) intends to offer or cause to be offered for public sale all or any portion of its Registrable Securities (such requests shall be in writing and shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended method of disposition of such shares by IXC) and (ii) request that the Company cause such Registrable Securities to be registered under the Securities Act; provided, however, that IXC may make only three requests for registration under this Section 2.2. Upon receipt of such notification, subject to Section 2.7 hereof, the Company will notify all of the Persons who would be entitled to notice of a proposed registration under Existing Registration Rights or Other Registration Rights of its receipt of such notification. Upon the written request of any such Person delivered to the Company within 30 days after receipt from the Company of such notification, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities as may be requested by IXC or such securities as may be requested by any such Person to be registered under the Securities Act within 125 days of the notification by IXC, in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2; provided, however, that unless such registration becomes effective and remains in effect for 60 days, such registration shall not be counted as one of the three requests for registration that may be made by IXC under this Section 2.2. IXC shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) (which shall be of national standing and reputation) to administer any underwritten public offering under this Section 2.2, subject to the execution and delivery by such investment banker(s) to the Company of a confidentiality agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Company. If requested in writing by the Company, IXC and the other Persons participating in a registration under this Section 2.2 shall negotiate in good faith with any underwriters retained in connection with the underwriting of such registration. In the case of the registration of Registrable Securities in connection with an underwritten public offering under this Section 2.2, if the underwriter determines that the registration of securities in excess of an amount determined by such underwriter would adversely affect such offering, then the Company may (subject to the allocation priority set forth below) exclude from such registration and underwriting some or all of the Registrable Securities and other securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant to this Section 2.2. The Company shall advise IXC and the other Persons who requested to participate in such registration promptly after such determination by the underwriter, and the number of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated in the following manner: subject to Section 2.7 hereof, the number of securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among IXC and such other Persons requesting that Registrable Securities or other securities be included in such registration and underwriting in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to their respective holdings of Registrable Securities and other securities; provided, however, that if the number of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration shall be reduced to a number which is less than 80% of the number of Registrable Securities as to which IXC requested registration pursuant to this Section 2.2, then such registration shall not be counted as one of the three requests for registration that may be made by IXC under this Section 2.2. All expenses of such registration and offering and the reasonable fees and expenses of one independent counsel for IXC and the other Persons who requested to participate in such registration shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall have no liability for such expenses if such registration does not become effective due solely to the action or failure to act of IXC and (ii) IXC and other Persons who requested to participate in such registration shall bear underwriting and selling discounts and commissions attributable to their Registrable Securities or other securities being registered and transfer taxes on shares being sold by them. The Company may postpone the filing of any registration statement required hereunder for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 90 days during any 12 month period of time, if the Company has been advised by legal counsel that such filing would require the disclosure of a material transaction or other matter and the Company determines reasonably and in good faith that such disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.2 to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under this Section 2.2 more than 135 days following the end of the Company's fiscal year, if such registration shall require the preparation of audited financial statements for any interim period not otherwise prepared by the Company. If a demand registration is requested during such period, subject to the second preceding sentence, the Company will commence such registration promptly following the end of the next fiscal year. The Company will enter into customary agreements (including underwriting agreements) reasonably acceptable to the Company to facilitate the demand registrations provided for above.
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.
Demand Registration (a) After receipt of a written request from one or more New Holders requesting that the Company effect a registration (a "Demand Registration") under the Securities Act covering all or part of the Registrable Securities which specifies the intended method or methods of disposition thereof and the number of shares to be registered, the Company shall promptly notify all Holders in writing of the receipt of such request and each such Holder, in lieu of exercising its rights under Section 4 hereof, may elect (by written notice sent to the Company within ten (10) Business Days from the date of such Holder's receipt of the aforementioned notice from the Company) to have all or part of such Holder's Registrable Securities included in such registration thereof pursuant to this Section 3, and such Holder shall specify in such notice the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder elects to include in such registration. Thereupon, the Company shall, as expeditiously as is practicable, but in any event no later than thirty (30) days (excluding any days which occur during a permitted Blackout Period under Section 6 below) after receipt of a written request for a Demand Registration, file with the SEC and use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective a registration statement (a "Demand Registration Statement") relating to all shares of Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register by such Holders ("Participating Demand Holders") for sale, to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended method or methods thereof, as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so registered; provided, however, that the aggregate value of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered (i) be at least $2,500,000, based on the closing trading price of the Common Stock on the date the demand to file such Demand Registration Statement is made, (ii) be at least 25% of the New Registrable Securities initially issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or (iii) include all Registrable Securities which remain outstanding at such time. (b) If the majority-in-interest of the Participating Demand Holders in a Demand Registration relating to a public offering requests that the offering be underwritten with a managing underwriter selected in the manner set forth in Section 14 below and such managing underwriter of such Demand Registration advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of securities to be included in such offering is greater than the total number of securities which can be sold therein without having a material adverse effect on the distribution of such securities or otherwise having a material adverse effect on the marketability thereof (the "Maximum Number of Securities"), then the Company shall include in such Demand Registration the Registrable Securities that the Participating Demand Holders have requested to be registered thereunder only to the extent the number of such Registrable Securities does not exceed the Maximum Number of Securities. If such amount exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, the number of Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration shall be allocated first, among all the New Holders participating in such Demand Registration on a pro rata basis (based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by each New Holder), and, second, to the Existing Holders on a pro rata basis (based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by each Existing Holder); provided, however, that in no event may Registrable Securities held by the Existing Holders be included in such Demand Registration unless all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Demand Registration by the New Holders are included in such Demand Registration. If the amount of such Registrable Securities does not exceed the Maximum Number of Securities, the Company may include in such Demand Registration any other securities of the Company and other securities held by other security holders of the Company as the Company may in its discretion determine or be obligated to allow, in an amount, which together with the Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration, shall not exceed the Maximum Number of Securities. (c) New Holders shall be entitled to an aggregate of four (4) registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3 (each, a "Demand for Registration") in addition to the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2; provided that a registration requested pursuant to this Section 3 shall not be deemed to have been effected for purposes of this Section 3(c) unless (i) it has been declared effective by the SEC, (ii) it has remained effective for the period set forth in Section 7(a), (iii) Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration have not, prior to the filing of the relevant Demand Registration Statement, withdrawn sufficient shares from such registration such that the remaining Holders requesting registration would not have been able to request registration under the provisions of Section 3, and (iv) the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration is not subject to any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC (other than any such stop order, injunction, or other order or requirement of the SEC prompted by act or omission of Holders of Registrable Securities); provided, however, that if the New Holders participating in such Demand Registration are not able to register and sell at least two-thirds of the New Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Demand Registration, then such Demand Registration shall not be counted as one of the five Demands for Registration provided for pursuant to this Section 3(c). (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be required to prepare and file (i) more than two (2) Demand Registration Statements in any twelve-month period, (ii) any Demand Registration Statement within 90 days following the date of effectiveness of any other Registration Statement or (iii) any Demand Registration Statement within 90 days following the date of effectiveness of any other registration statement filed pursuant to any other registration rights agreement to which the Company is a party or with respect to the sale of Common Stock by the Company (or such longer period of time as may be specified in an underwriting agreement relating to such registration statement).
Underwritten Offerings (a) The Initiating Holder shall have the right to select the book-running managers and the co-managers (collectively, the “managing underwriter”) in connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3; provided, that the selection of the managing underwriter by the Initiating Holder shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Board. In connection with such underwritten offering, the Company and the Initiating Holder shall enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting, provided, that such underwriting agreement is in customary form, provides for customary compensation, expense reimbursement and indemnification, and otherwise is reasonably acceptable to the Initiating Holder and the Company. (b) Upon the receipt by the Company of an Underwritten Demand Notice or a Shelf Underwritten Demand Notice, the Company shall give prompt written notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities (other than the Initiating Holder) that an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3, as applicable is being effected. In the event that any such Holder delivers to the Company, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of such written notice to the Holder by the Company, a written request to include in such underwritten offering any Registrable Securities of the Holder, the Company shall include such Registrable Securities in the registration statement; provided that the Company need not include in an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 3 any Registrable Securities that are not then included in the applicable Shelf Registration Statement (unless the Company is then a WKSI). The right of any Holder to include Registrable Securities in any underwritten offering shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s willingness to enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such offering (in each case, unless otherwise mutually agreed by such Holder, the Initiating Holders and the Company). (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter of an underwritten offering in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in such offering in writing that in its good faith judgment the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities which can be sold in such offering at a price acceptable to the applicable Initiating Holder, then (i) the number of Registrable Securities so requested to be included in such offering shall be reduced to that number of shares which in the good faith judgment of the managing underwriter can be sold in such offering at such price and (ii) this reduced number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated among all Holders of Registrable Securities in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective number of shares of Registrable Securities then held by such Holders. (d) Those Registrable Securities which are excluded from an underwriting in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 hereof by reason of the managing underwriter’s marketing limitation and all other Registrable Securities not originally requested to be so included shall not be included in such offering and shall be withheld from the market by the Holders thereof for a period (not to exceed ninety (90) days) which the managing underwriter reasonably determines is necessary to effect the underwritten offering. (e) If the managing underwriter has not limited the number of Registrable Securities to be included in an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3, the Company and, subject to the requirements of Section 8 hereof, the other holders of the Company’s securities may include securities for its (or their) own account in such registration if the managing underwriter so agrees and if the number of Registrable Securities which would otherwise have been included in such offering will not thereby be limited.
Requested Registration Until April 26, 2001 or the date that all of the shares of Xxxxxxx common stock Beneficially Owned by the Shareholders are eligible for sale under Rule 144 of the SEC without any volume limitation, whichever is earlier, subject to the following provisions a Shareholder may request that Xxxxxxx register all or a portion of his Registrable Securities. If Xxxxxxx shall receive a written request from one or more Shareholders that Xxxxxxx effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or a part of such Shareholders' Registrable Securities, then Xxxxxxx will, within ten (10) days after receipt thereof, give notice to all other Shareholders of the receipt of such request and each such holder may elect by written notice received by Xxxxxxx within ten (10) days from the date of the notice by Xxxxxxx to have all or part of his Registrable Securities included in such registration. Upon receipt of such notice, Xxxxxxx will, as soon as practicable, use reasonable efforts to effect the registration on Form S-3 and pursuant to Rule 415 (the "Resale Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which it has been so requested to register covering resales from time to time of such Registrable Securities and Xxxxxxx shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) cause the Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter; and (ii) maintain the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement continuously until the earliest of: (A) the date on which the Shareholders no longer hold Registrable Securities registered under the Resale Registration Statement or (B) the third anniversary of this Shareholder Agreement or such lesser time as may be permitted under Rule 144 under the Securities Act to enable the Shareholders to sell the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act without such registration. Xxxxxxx: (i) shall not be obligated to cause any special audit to be undertaken in connection with any such registration; (ii) shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable period of time, but not in excess of ninety (90) days, the filing of any registration statement otherwise required to be prepared pursuant to this section if Xxxxxxx is, at such time, conducting or about to conduct an underwritten public offering of Equity Securities (or securities convertible into Equity Securities) and is advised in writing by its managing underwriter that such underwritten public offer would, in its opinion, be adversely effected by the registration so requested; and (iii) shall be entitled to postpone such requested registration for up to ninety (90) days if Xxxxxxx determines, in view of the advisability of deferring public disclosure of material corporate developments or other information, that such registration and the disclosure required to be made pursuant thereto would not be in the best interest of Xxxxxxx at such time.
Maximum Number of Demand Registrations The Company is obligated to effect only two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2.
Number of Demand Registrations The Holder will be entitled to request one Demand Registration pursuant to which the Registrable Securities shall be registered and in which the Company will pay all Registration Expenses. A registration will not count as the Demand Registration (i) until it has become effective (unless such Demand Registration has not become effective due solely to the fault of the holder requesting such registration) and (ii) unless the holder of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration (unless such holder is not so able to register such amount of the Registrable Securities due solely to the fault of such holder) are included; provided, however, that in any event the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration initiated as a Demand Registration subject to this Section 1.2.
