Mandatory Registration The Company shall, within thirty (30) calendar days from the date hereof, file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities (beginning with the Put Shares) as shall be permitted to be included thereon in accordance with applicable SEC rules, regulations and interpretations so as to permit the resale of such Registrable Securities by the Investor, including but not limited to under Rule 415 under the Securities Act at then prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), as mutually determined by both the Company and the Investor in consultation with their respective legal counsel, subject to the aggregate number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock then available for issuance in its Certificate of Incorporation. The initial Registration Statement shall register only the Registrable Securities. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement and any related prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all reasonable comments. The Investor shall furnish all information reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion therein. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement and any amendment declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective, including but not limited to pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and available for the resale by the Investor of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investor may sell all of the Registrable Securities without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities and (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby and no Available Amount remains under the Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Period”). The Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
Initial Mandatory Registration The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Initial Filing Deadline, file with the SEC the Initial Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Initial Registrable Securities. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use Form S-1 or such other form as is available for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e). The Initial Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Initial Required Registration Amount determined as of the date the Initial Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(f). The Initial Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders or the SEC) the “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Initial Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Initial Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Initial Registration Statement.
Additional Mandatory Registrations The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Additional Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an Additional Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of all of the Additional Registrable Securities not previously registered on an Additional Registration Statement hereunder. To the extent the staff of the SEC does not permit the Additional Required Registration Amount to be registered on an Additional Registration Statement, the Company shall file Additional Registration Statements successively trying to register on each such Additional Registration Statement the maximum number of remaining Additional Registrable Securities until the Additional Required Registration Amount has been registered with the SEC; provided that after two rejections by the SEC of Additional Registration Statements, the Company shall not be required to file Additional Registration Statements more frequently than once per sixty day period commencing subsequent to the second rejection. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use Form S-1 or such other form as is available for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e). Each Additional Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Additional Required Registration Amount determined as of the date such Additional Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(f). Each Additional Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the "Plan of Distribution" and "Selling Shareholders" sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such modifications as may be required by law. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have each Additional Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Additional Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the second (2nd) Business Day following the Additional Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Additional Registration Statement.
Exchange Offer Registration To the extent not prohibited by any applicable law or applicable interpretation of the Staff of the SEC, the Company shall use its best efforts (A) to file within 30 days after the Closing Date an Exchange Offer Registration Statement covering the offer by the Company to the Holders to exchange all of the Registrable Securities for Exchange Securities, (B) to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 120 days after the Closing Date, (C) to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective until the closing of the Exchange Offer and (D) to consummate the Exchange Offer within 150 days following the Closing Date. The Exchange Securities will be issued under the Indenture. 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 (other than Participating Broker-Dealers (as defined in Section 3(f)) 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 the Exchange Securities) to trade such Exchange Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or restrictions under the 1933 Act and without material restrictions under the securities laws of a substantial proportion of the several states of the United States. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall: (i) 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 after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders (or longer if required by applicable law); (iii) use the services of the Depositary 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 notice, 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 his election to have such Securities exchanged; and (v) otherwise comply in all respects with all applicable laws relating to the Exchange Offer. As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer, the Company shall: (i) accept for exchange 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 equal in principal amount to the Registrable Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange. Interest on each Exchange Security will accrue from the last date on which interest was paid on the Registrable Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the Registrable Securities, from the date of its original issue. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer, or the making of any exchange by a Holder, does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the Staff of the SEC. 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 of the Company, (ii) any Exchange Securities to be received by it were acquired in the ordinary course of business and (iii) at the time of the commencement of the Exchange Offer it has no arrangement with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Securities. The Company shall inform the Purchasers of the names and addresses of the Holders to whom the Exchange Offer is made, and the Purchasers shall have the right to contact such Holders and otherwise facilitate the tender of Registrable Securities in the Exchange Offer.
Priority of Securities Registered Pursuant to Demand Registrations If the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering of a class of Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration (or, in the case of a Demand Registration not being underwritten, the holders of a majority of a class of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement), inform the holders of such Registrable Securities in writing that, in its or their opinion, the number or amount of securities of such class requested to be included in such Demand Registration exceeds the number or amount which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the class of securities offered or the market for the class of securities offered, the number or amount of Registrable Securities of such class that can be included without having such an adverse effect shall be allocated: (i) first, pro rata among the holders which have requested participation in the Demand Registration (based, for each such holder, on the percentage derived by dividing (x) the number or amount of Registrable Securities of such class which such holder has requested to include in such Demand Registration by (y) the aggregate number or amount of Registrable Securities of such class which all such holders have requested to include); (ii) second, and only if all the securities referenced in clause (i) have been included, any other securities of the Issuer requested by the holders thereof to included in such registration that, in the opinion of such underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect shall be included therein, with such number to be allocated pro rata among such holders (based, for each such holder, on the percentage derived by dividing (x) the number or amount of such securities of such class which such holder has requested to include in such registration by (y) the aggregate number or amount of securities of such class which all such holders have requested to include); and (iii) third, and only if all of the Registrable Securities referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) have been included and in the opinion of such underwriter or underwriters such securities can be sold without having such adverse effect securities offered by the Issuer for its own account. To the extent that any Registrable Securities requested to be registered are excluded pursuant to the foregoing, the holders thereof shall have the right to one additional Demand Registration under this Section 2.2.
