Limitations on Demand Registrations (a) Each holder of the Registrable Securities that owns at least 20,000 shares of Series 1 Preferred shall be entitled to (i) either one (1) Long-Form Demand Registration or one (1) Short-Form Demand Registration in accordance with Section 1.1(a) and (ii) any number of Shelf Registrations.
(b) The Company shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable period of time not to exceed forty-five (45) days the declaration of effectiveness by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") of any registration statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by it if, at the time it receives a Demand Registration request or at any time during the process of registration, prior to being declared effective by the SEC, the Board of Directors of the Company determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, that such registration would materially interfere with a business or financial transaction of substantial importance to the Company (other than an underwritten public offering of its securities), including, without limitation, any such transaction involving a material acquisition, consolidation, merger or corporate reorganization then pending or proposed by its Board of Directors involving the Company, and the Company promptly gives the holders of the Registrable Securities written notice of such determination, containing a general statement of the reasons for such postponement and an approximation of the anticipated delay; provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to postpone filing a registration statement in response to a Demand Registration for the twelve (12) months following the expiration of such forty-five day period. In the event the effectiveness of any registration statement is postponed pursuant to this paragraph, the holder or holders of the Registrable Securities making a registration request shall have the right to withdraw such Demand Registration request by giving written notice to the Company within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of postponement (and, in the event of such withdrawal, the right of the holders of the Registrable Securities to such Demand Registration shall be reinstated).
Priority on Demand Registrations The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration any securities which are not Registrable Shares without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares requested to be registered on such Registration Statement and each Principal Stockholder who has requested Registrable Shares that would constitute at least 10% of the Registrable Shares to be included in the Demand Registration, except as set forth in the next sentence. If the Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters for such Demand Registration advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Shares and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration exceeds the number of Registrable Shares and other securities, if any, which can be sold in such offering without significantly delaying or jeopardizing the success of such offering, including by selling at a price per share within a price range reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares requested to be included in the Demand Registration, including, if any securities other than Registrable Shares are to be included in such Demand Registration, each Principal Stockholder who has requested Registrable Shares that would constitute at least 10% of the Registrable Shares to be included in the Demand Registration, the Company shall include in such Demand Registration the number of Registrable Shares which can be so sold in the following order of priority: (A) first, the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such Demand Registration, pro rata among the respective Holders of such Registrable Shares on the basis of the total number of Registrable Shares beneficially owned by each such Holder, and (B) second, all other securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration to the extent permitted hereunder; provided however that with respect to the Initial Demand Registration only, the order priority shall be as follows: (1) first, the securities the Company proposed to sell; (2) second, the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such Demand Registration, pro rata among the respective Holders of such Registrable Shares on the basis of the total number of Registrable Shares beneficially owned by each such Holder, and (3) third, all other securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration to the extent permitted hereunder.
Restrictions on Demand Registrations The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within six (6) months after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration or a previous registration under which the Initiating Holders had piggyback rights pursuant to Section 3 hereof wherein the Initiating Holders were permitted to register, and sold, at least 50% of the shares of Registrable Common Stock requested to be included therein. The Company may (i) postpone for up to ninety (90) days the filing or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement for a Demand Registration if, based on the good faith judgment of the Company’s board of directors, such postponement or withdrawal is necessary in order to avoid premature disclosure of a matter the board has determined would not be in the best interest of the Company to be disclosed at such time or (ii) postpone the filing of a Demand Registration in the event the Company shall be required to prepare audited financial statements as of a date other than its fiscal year and (unless the Holders requesting such registration agree to pay the expenses of such an audit); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company withdraw a Registration Statement under clause (i) after such Registration Statement has been declared effective; and provided, further, however, that in any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Initiating Holders requesting such Demand Registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request. The Company shall provide written notice to the Initiating Holders requesting such Demand Registration of (x) any postponement or withdrawal of the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(c), (y) the Company’s decision to file or seek effectiveness of such Registration Statement following such withdrawal or postponement and (z) the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.
Limitation on Demand Registrations The Lead Investor will be entitled to initiate no more than five Demand Registrations (other than Short-Form Registrations permitted pursuant to Section 1(c)). The Requisite Additional Investors will together be entitled to initiate no more than one Demand Registration. Unless otherwise agreed by the Lead Investor, the Company will not be obligated to effect a Demand Registration during the six-month period following the date any other Company registration statement is declared effective with respect to the registration of Common Shares. The Company shall not be obligated to effect a Demand Registration unless the aggregate proceeds expected to be received from the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration equals or exceeds $100 million, unless otherwise agreed by the Lead Investor and the Requisite Additional Investors. No request for registration will count for the purposes of the limitations in this Section 1(b) if (i) the Requesting Holder(s) determine in good faith to withdraw (prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such request) the proposed registration due to marketing or regulatory reasons, (ii) the Registration Statement relating to such request is not declared effective within 180 days of the date such Registration Statement is first filed with the Commission (other than solely by reason of the Requesting Holder(s) having refused to proceed) and such Requesting Holder(s) withdraw the Registration Request prior to such Registration Statement being declared effective, (iii) prior to the sale of at least 90% of the Registrable Securities included in the applicable registration relating to such request, such registration is adversely affected by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason and the Company fails to have such stop order, injunction or other order or requirement removed, withdrawn or resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Requesting Holder(s) within 30 days of the date of such order, (iv) more than 10% of the Registrable Securities requested by such Requesting Holder(s) to be included in such registration are not so included pursuant to Section 1(f), or (v) the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement or purchase agreement entered into in connection with the registration relating to such request are not satisfied (other than as a result of a material default or breach thereunder by any member of such Requesting Holder(s)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any request for registration pursuant to
Section 1(a) regardless of whether or not such request counts toward the limitation set forth above.
Priority on Demand Registration If any of the Registrable Securities registered pursuant to a Demand Registration are to be sold in a firm commitment underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the holders of such securities in writing that in its view the total number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such offering is such as to adversely affect the success of such offering (including securities proposed to be included by other holders of securities entitled to include securities in such Registration Statement pursuant to incidental or piggyback registration rights), then there shall be included in such firm commitment underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities that in the opinion of such managing underwriter can be sold without adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated as follows, unless the underwriter requires a different allocation:
(i) first, pro rata among the holders of Registrable Securities on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by such holders; and
(ii) second, the securities for which inclusion in such Demand Registration, as the case may be, was requested by the Corporation. For purposes of any underwriter cutback, all Registrable Securities held by any Shareholder shall also include any Registrable Securities held by the partners, retired partners, shareholders or Affiliates of such holder, or the estates and family members of any such holder or such partners and retired partners, any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons and, at the election of such holder or such partners, retired partners, trust or Affiliates, any charitable organization, in each case to which any of the foregoing shall have been distributed, transferred or contributed Registrable Securities prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement in connection with such underwritten offering; provided that such distribution, transfer or contribution occurred not more than 90 days prior to such execution, and such holder and other Persons shall be deemed to be a single selling holder, and any pro rata reduction (unless the managing underwriter requires a different allocation) with respect to such selling holder shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such selling holder, as defined in this sentence. No securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing limitation shall be included in such registration.
