Marketing Limitation in Piggyback Registration In the event the Underwriter’s Representative advises the Holders seeking Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3.2 in writing that market factors (including, without limitation, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the Underwriter’s Representative (subject to the allocation priority set forth in Section 3.2.2(c)) may:
Priority in Requested Registrations If a requested registration pursuant to this Section 4.2 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of securities to be included in such registration (including securities of the Company which are not Registrable Securities) would be likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities to be offered in such offering as contemplated by the Holders (an “Adverse Effect”), then the Company shall include in such registration (a) first, 100% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Demand Party and all other Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.2 (to the extent that the managing underwriter believes that all such Registrable Securities can be sold in such offering without having an Adverse Effect; provided, that if the managing underwriter does not so believe and the Demand Party does not exercise its right set forth in the second succeeding sentence of this clause (g), such lesser number of Registrable Securities as specified by the Demand Party) and (b) second, to the extent the managing underwriter believes additional securities can be sold in the offering without having an Adverse Effect, the amount of Other Securities requested to be included by Other Holders in such registration, allocated pro rata among all requesting Other Holders on the basis of the relative amount of all Other Securities requested to be included in such registration. In the event that the number of Registrable Securities and Other Securities to be included in such registration is less than the number which, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, can be sold without having an Adverse Effect, the Company may include in such registration the securities the Company proposes to sell up to the number of securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without having an Adverse Effect. If the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering shall advise the Holders participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 4.2 that the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement cannot be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Demand Party, then the Demand Party shall have the right to notify the Company that it has determined that the number of shares to be included in such registration shall be reduced to a number that allows an offering in the price range or that the registration statement be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company shall effect the reduction, or abandon or withdraw such registration statement; provided, however, that if (i) Holders of Registrable Securities other than the Demand Party are participating in such registration pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or (ii) the Company has included Top-Up Shares in such registration pursuant to Section 4.2(b) and the Demand Party shall have exercised its right to reduce the number of shares to be included or to abandon or withdraw such registration, such other Holders or the Company, as the case may be, shall be permitted to proceed with such registration and its offering of shares thereunder. Any registration attempted to be withdrawn by a Demand Party pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not be counted as the Demand Party’s registration demand provided in Section 4.2(a)(ii) and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith.
Priority in Requested Registration If the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering shall advise the Company in writing (and the Company shall so advise each Selling Holder of Registrable Securities requesting registration of such advice) that, in its opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Selling Holders of 66-2/3% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, the Company, except as provided in the following sentence, will include in such registration, to the extent of the number and type that the Company is so advised can be sold in such offering, Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the Selling Holders requesting such registration on the basis of the estimated gross proceeds from the sale thereof. If the total number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration cannot be included as provided in the preceding sentence, holders of Registrable Securities requesting registration thereof pursuant to Section 2.1, representing not less than 33-1/3% of the Registrable Securities with respect to which registration has been requested and constituting not less than 66-2/3% of the Initiating Holders, shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration by giving written notice to the Company within 20 days after receipt of such notice by the Company and, in the event of such withdrawal, such request shall not be counted for purposes of the requests for registration to which holders of Registrable Securities are entitled pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof. In connection with any such registration to which this Section 2.1(f) is applicable, no securities other than Registrable Securities shall be covered by such registration.
Securities Lending Transactions 4.l Loan Initiation. From time to time the Bank may lend Securities to --------------- Borrowers and deliver such Securities against receipt of Collateral in accordance with the applicable Securities Borrowing Agreement. The Bank shall deliver to the Lender a Receipt in connection with each loan made hereunder, prior to settlement of such loan.
Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto. If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Shares to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
Priority on Primary Piggyback Registrations If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriters advise the Company and the Holders (if any Holders have elected to include Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration) that in their good faith opinion the number of securities proposed to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering without materially delaying or jeopardizing the success of the offering (including the price per security proposed to be sold in such offering), the Company shall include in such registration and offering (i) first, the number of Shares that the Company proposes to sell, and (ii) second, the number of securities requested to be included therein by holders of securities, including the Holders (if any Holders have elected to include Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration), pro rata (as nearly as practicable) among all participating holders on the basis of the number of securities requested to be included therein by all such holders or as such holders and the Company may otherwise agree.
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.
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).
Withdrawal in Piggyback Registration If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter delivered at least seven (7) business days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such Registration.
Priority of Piggyback Registration If the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering of shares of Common Stock included in a Piggyback Registration advises Contango that the total shares of Common Stock which the Selling Holders and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a material and adverse effect on the offering price, timing or probability of success of the distribution of the Common Stock offered or the market for the Common Stock, then the Piggyback Notice provided by Contango pursuant to Section 2.2(a) shall include notification of such determination or, if such determination is made after the Piggyback Notice has been given, then Contango shall furnish notice in writing (including by e-mail) to the Holders (or to those who have timely elected to participate in such Underwritten Offering), and the Common Stock to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall include the number of shares of Common Stock that such Managing Underwriter or Underwriters advises Contango can be sold without having such material and adverse effect, with such number to be allocated (i) if such Piggyback Registration was initiated by Contango, (A) first, to Contango, (B) second, pro rata among the Selling Holders and any other Persons who have been or after the date hereof are granted registration rights on parity with the registration rights granted under this Agreement (the “Other Holders”) who have requested participation in the Piggyback Registration (based, for each such Selling Holder or Other Holder, on the percentage derived by dividing (1) the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by such Selling Holder or such Other Holder in such offering; by (2) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by all Selling Holders and all Other Holders in the Piggyback Registration), and (C) third, to any other holder of shares of common stock with registration rights that are subordinate to the rights of the Holders hereunder and (ii) if such Piggyback Registration was not initiated by Contango, (A) first, to the Persons initiating such Registration, (B) second, pro rata among the Selling Holders and any Other Holders who have requested participation in the Piggyback Registration (based, for each such Selling Holder or Other Holder, on the percentage derived by dividing (1) the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by such Selling Holder or such Other Holder in such offering; by (2) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by all Selling Holders and all Other Holders in the Piggyback Registration other than the Persons initiating such Registration), and (C) third, to any other holder of shares of common stock with registration rights that are subordinate to the rights of the Holders hereunder.
