Common use of Incidental Registration Piggyback Registration Clause in Contracts

Incidental Registration Piggyback Registration. For so long as any Holder holds Registrable Securities, if the Company at any time proposes for any reason to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than on Forms S-4 or S-8 or any similar or successor form), other than pursuant to Section 2 hereof, it shall each such time promptly give written notice to the Holder of its intention to do so, and, upon written request, given within 30 days after receipt of any such notice, of the Holder to register any Registrable Securities (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be sold or disposed of by the Holder and shall state the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities by the prospective seller), the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be registered under the Securities Act promptly upon receipt of the written request of the Holder for such registration, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof, as aforesaid) by the prospective seller or sellers of the Registrable Securities so registered. In the event that the proposed registration by the Company is, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of securities of the Company, any request pursuant to this Section 3 to register Registrable Securities shall specify that such shares are to be included in the underwriting (i) on the same terms and conditions as the shares of Common Stock, if any, otherwise being sold through underwriters under such registration or (ii) on terms and conditions comparable to those normally applicable to offerings of Common Stock in reasonably similar circumstances in the event that no other shares of Common Stock are being sold through underwriters under such registration; provided, however, that if the managing underwriter determines and advises in writing that the inclusion of all Registrable Securities and Restricted Securities requested to be included in such registration would interfere with the successful marketing (including pricing) of such securities, then the number of Registrable Securities and Restricted Securities to be included in the underwritten public offering shall be reduced, first among the Holders of the Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis, and second among holders of the Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Prior Registration Rights Agreements; provided further, however, that this Section 3 shall not be construed to require the exclusion of any shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon exercise of the TBCC Warrant if such exclusion would conflict with the terms of the TBCC Warrant. Any Registrable Securities which are excluded from the underwritten public offering (either because such shares were not requested by the Holder thereof to be included therein or which were excluded pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence or in connection with a registration pursuant to Section 2 hereof) shall be withheld from the market by the Holder thereof for a period, not to exceed 180 days, which the managing underwriter reasonably determines as necessary in order to effect the underwritten public offering.
