Priority on Demand Registrations If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and includes securities for sale by the Company, and the managing underwriter (such underwriter to be chosen by Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration, subject to the Company’s reasonable approval) advises the Company, in writing, that, in its good faith judgment, the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without materially and adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, then the Company will include in any such registration the maximum number of shares that the managing underwriter advises the Company can be sold in such offering allocated as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the initiating Holders and securities of other Holders of Registrable Securities and holders of Registrable Securities (as defined in the DB Holdings Registration Rights Agreement), with all such securities to be included on a pro rata basis (or in such other proportion mutually agreed among such Holders) based on the amount of securities requested to be included therein and (ii) second, to the extent that any other securities may be included without exceeding the limitations recommended by the underwriter as aforesaid, the securities that the Company proposes to sell together with such additional securities to be included on a pro rata basis (or in such other proportion mutually agreed upon among the Company and such other holders) based on the amount of securities requested to be included therein. If the initiating Holders are not allowed to register all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included by such Holders because of allocations required by this section, such initiating Holders shall not be deemed to have exercised a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 2(b).
Priority on Demand Registration Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of an Underwritten Offering to which such Demand Registration relates advises the Holders that the total amount of Registrable Securities that such Holders intend to include in such Demand Registration is in the aggregate such as to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Demand Registration will, if necessary, be reduced and there will be included in such Underwritten Offering the largest number of Registrable Securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without materially and adversely affecting the success of such Underwritten Offering. The Registrable Securities of the Holder or Holders initiating the Demand Registration shall receive priority in such Underwritten Offering to the full extent of the Registrable Securities such Holder or Holders desire to sell (unless these securities would materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, in which case the number of such Holder's Registrable Securities included in the offering shall be reduced to the extent necessary) and the remaining allocation available for sale, if any, shall be allocated pro rata among the other Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by each such Holder.
Priority in Demand Registrations If a Demand Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, and the sole or lead managing Underwriter, as the case may be, of such Underwritten Offering shall advise the Company in writing (with a copy to each Holder requesting registration) on or before the date five days prior to the date then scheduled for such offering that, in its opinion, the amount of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Majority Holders of the Registration (such writing to state the basis of such opinion and the approximate number of Registrable Securities which may be included in such offering), the Company shall include in such Demand Registration, to the extent of the number which the Company is so advised may be included in such offering, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Demand Registration by the Holders allocated pro rata in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by each of them. In the event the Company shall not, by virtue of this Section 2.1(b), include in any Demand Registration all of the Registrable Securities of any Holder requesting to be included in such Demand Registration, such Holder may, upon written notice to the Company given within five days of the time such Holder first is notified of such matter, reduce the amount of Registrable Securities it desires to have included in such Demand Registration, whereupon only the Registrable Securities, if any, it desires to have included will be so included and the Holders not so reducing shall be entitled to a corresponding increase in the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such Demand Registration.
Right to Demand Registration Commencing June 30, 2002, at any time or from time to time when the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 2.1 has not become or is not effective under the Securities Act (including, but not limited to, if the Company is not eligible to effect a continuous offering using a Form S-3 registration statement in reliance upon Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any comparable successor form, Rule or statute), the Majority Holders shall have the right to request in writing that the Company register all or part of such Holders' Registrable Securities (a "Request") (which Request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holders and the intended method or methods of disposition thereof) by filing with the SEC a Demand Registration Statement. As promptly as practicable, but no later than 10 days after receipt of a Request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to all Holders of Registrable Securities. Subject to Section 2.2(b), the Company shall include in a Demand Registration (i) the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the Initiating Holders and (ii) the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by any other Holder and shares of Common Stock of any Person that has analogous incidental or "piggyback" registration rights which in either case shall have made a written request (which request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities or shares of Common Stock to be registered) to the Company for inclusion thereof in such registration within 20 days after the receipt of such written notice from the Company. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible following a Request, use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be filed with the SEC a Demand Registration Statement providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by all such Holders, to the extent necessary to permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities so to be registered in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof specified in such Request. The Company shall use its best efforts to have such Demand Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter and to keep such Demand Registration Statement continuously effective for the period specified in Section 4.1(b). A Request may be withdrawn prior to the filing of the Demand Registration Statement by the Majority Holders of the Registration (a "Withdrawn Request") and a Demand Registration Statement may be withdrawn prior to the effectiveness thereof by the Majority Holders of the Registration (a "Withdrawn Demand Registration"), and such withdrawals shall be treated as a Demand Registration which shall have been effected pursuant to this Section 2.2, unless the Holders of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement reimburse the Company for its reasonable out-of-pocket Registration Expenses relating to the preparation and filing of such Demand Registration Statement (to the extent actually incurred); provided, however, that if a Withdrawn Request or Withdrawn Demand Registration is made (A) because of a material adverse change in the business, financial condition or prospects of the Company determined, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, by the sole or lead managing Underwriter in its reasonable discretion, or (B) because the sole or lead managing Underwriter advises that the amount of Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering be reduced pursuant to Section 2.2(b) by more than 33% of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement, or (C) because of a postponement of such registration pursuant to Section 2.6, then such withdrawal shall not be treated as a Demand Registration effected pursuant to this Section 2.2 (and shall not be counted toward the number of Demand Registrations), and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith. Any Holder requesting inclusion in a Demand Registration may, at any time prior to the effective date of the Demand Registration Statement (and for any reason) revoke such request by delivering written notice to the Company revoking such requested inclusion. No more than three Requests may be made by all Holders in the aggregate pursuant to this Section 2.2; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within six months of the effectiveness of any other Demand Registration Statement. The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.2 shall be in addition to the registration rights granted pursuant to the other provisions of Article II hereof.
Effective Demand Registration The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Demand Registration to become and remain effective not later than sixty (60) days after it receives a request under Section 3(a) hereof. A registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration until it has become effective and remains continuously effective for the lesser of (i) the period during which all Registrable Securities registered in the Demand Registration are sold and (ii) 120 days; provided, however, that a registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration if (x) after such Demand Registration has become effective, such registration or the related offer, sale or distribution of Registrable Securities thereunder is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason not attributable to the Initiating Holders and such interference is not thereafter eliminated or (y) the conditions specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such Demand Registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by reason of a failure by the Initiating Holder.
Demand Registrations Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1, this Section 3.1 and Section 3.5, any Demand Holder (the “Initiating Holders”) may from time to time make a written request (a “Demand Request”) for (i) registration under the Securities Act on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement of all or any portion of Registrable Securities or (ii) if the Issuer is then eligible to use Form S-3, a Shelf Registration of all or any portion of Registrable Securities under the Securities Act (a “Demand Registration”). No Demand Registration will be consummated (and no registration statement with respect thereto will be filed) if the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered is fewer than such number of shares of Class A Common Stock that have a value (based on the closing price on the trading day immediately prior to the filing of the registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable) of $50,000,000. Demand Requests shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method or methods of disposition. The Issuer shall, subject to the provisions of this Article III and to the other Parties’ compliance with their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement registering all Registrable Securities included in such Demand Request for disposition in accordance with the intended method or methods set forth therein as promptly as possible following receipt of a Demand Request. The Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement, including in the case of a Shelf Registration, a subsequent Registration Statement, to be declared effective as soon as practicable after filing and to remain effective until the earlier of (a) ninety (90) days following the date on which it was declared effective, in the case of an underwritten offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 and (b) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby are disposed of in accordance with the method or methods of disposition stated therein. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.1, the Demand Holders shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of Demand Registrations.
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.
Limitations on Demand Registrations (i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may suspend the registration process and/or delay any Holder’s ability to use a prospectus or delay making a filing of a Registration Statement or taking any other action in connection therewith for a period of up to ninety (90) days when the Board has determined in good faith that it would be in the best interest of the Company if such Registration Statement (or an amendment or supplement thereto) were filed, such Registration Statement (or amendment or supplement thereto) were to become effective or remain effective for the time otherwise required for such Registration Statement to remain effective or any other action either would (A) materially adversely affect a significant financing, acquisition, disposition, merger or other material transaction, (B) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or (C) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, a “Valid Business Reason”); provided, however, that such right to delay shall be exercised by the Company not more than twice in any 12-month period and the Company shall only have the right to delay so long as such Valid Business Reason exists (but in no event for a period longer than ninety (90) days in the aggregate in any twelve month period). The Company shall give notice to each Participating Holder that the registration process has been delayed and upon notice duly given, each Holder agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such prospectus. The Company shall not specify the nature of the event giving rise to a suspension in any notice to the Holders.
Demand Registration (a) At any time following the expiration of the Disposition Restriction Period, if the Company is unable to file, cause to be effective or maintain the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement as required under Section 5.1 hereof, the Investors’ Representative shall have the right, by delivering a written notice to the Company (a “Demand Notice”), to require the Company to register under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act the number of Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by any Investors and requested by such Demand Notice to be so registered (a “Demand Registration”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect more than two (2) Demand Registrations for underwritten offerings pursuant to this Section 5.2(a); and, provided, further, that the Investors shall not be entitled to deliver to the Company more than one (1) Demand Registration in any twelve (12) month period and, in any event, a Demand Notice may only be made if the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the Investors’ Representative is reasonably expected to result in aggregate gross cash proceeds in excess of $100,000,000 (without regard to any underwriting discount or commission); and provided, further that the Investors shall not be entitled to request more than two (2) Company Supported Distributions in the aggregate (including underwritten Demand Registrations). A Demand Notice shall also specify the expected method or methods of disposition of the applicable Registrable Securities. Following receipt of a Demand Notice, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but not later than 30 days after receipt by the Company of such Demand Notice, a Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by the Investors thereof in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Investors (a “Demand Registration Statement”) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, it being agreed that if any Investor intends to distribute any Registrable Securities by means of an underwritten offering it shall promptly so advise the Company and the Company shall cooperate with such Investor to facilitate such distribution, including but not limited to the actions required pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(viii) and, if a Company Supported Distribution is requested, Section 5.5(a)(xiv).
Demand Registration Rights At any time after the date two years after the Closing Date, the holders of a majority of the shares of VPI Stock issued to the Founding Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Agreements which have not been previously registered or sold and which are not entitled to be sold under Rule 144(k) (or any similar or successor provision) promulgated under the 1933 Act may request in writing (the "Demand Registration Request") that VPI file a registration statement under the 1933 Act covering the registration of up to all of the shares of VPI Stock issued to the STOCKHOLDERS pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Agreements then held by such Founding Stockholders (a "Demand Registration"). Within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Demand Registration Request, VPI shall give written notice of such request to all other Founding Stockholders and shall, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 45 days after the Demand Registration Request, file and use its best efforts to cause to become effective a registration statement covering all shares requested to be registered pursuant to this Section 17.2. VPI shall be obligated to effect only one Demand Registration for all Founding Stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, following the Demand Registration Request a majority of VPI's disinterested directors (i.e., directors who have not demanded or elected to sell shares in any such public offering) may defer the filing of the registration statement for a 60-day period if such deferral is deemed by such directors to be in the best interests of VPI. If immediately prior to the Demand Registration Request VPI has fixed plans to file within 60 days after receipt of the Demand Registration Request a registration statement covering the sale of any of its securities in a public offering under the 1933 Act, no registration of the Founding Stockholders' VPI Stock shall be initiated under this Section 17.2 until 90 days after the effective date of such registration unless VPI is no longer proceeding diligently to effect such registration (in which case the delay contemplated by this sentence would not be applicable); provided that VPI shall provide the Founding Stockholders the right to participate in such public offering pursuant to, and subject to, Section 17.1 hereof.
