Limitations on Form S-3 Registration The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or take any action to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.3:
Maintenance of Registration For a period of at least five (5) years from the Effective Date, or until such earlier time upon which the Company is required to be liquidated, the Company will use its best efforts to maintain the registration of the Units, Common Stock and Warrants under the provisions of the Exchange Act, except after giving effect to a going private transaction after the completion of an Initial Business Combination. The Company will not deregister the Units, Common Stock or Warrants under the Exchange Act (except in connection with a going private transaction after the completion of an Initial Business Combination) without the prior consent of the Representative.
Registration Under the 0000 XXX (a) If any Registrable Securities are outstanding as of the 366th calendar day following the Closing Date, then to the extent not prohibited by any applicable law or applicable interpretation of the Staff of the SEC, the Company and the Parent shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prepare and file with the SEC, an Exchange Offer Registration Statement on an appropriate form under the 1933 Act with respect to a proposed Exchange Offer and the issuance and delivery to the Holders, in exchange for such Registrable Securities, of Exchange Securities, (ii) cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become or be declared effective under the 1933 Act, and (iii) cause the Exchange Offer to be consummated on or prior to the 451st calendar day following the Closing Date. The Company and the Parent shall commence the Exchange Offer by mailing the related exchange offer Prospectus and accompanying documents to each Holder stating, in addition to such other disclosures as are required by applicable law:
Registration Procedure Unless such Exchange Shares are issued pursuant to an Issuer Registration Statement as provided in Section 2 hereof, then subject to Sections 3.1(c) and 3.2 hereof, if Holder desires to exercise its Registration Rights with respect to the Exchange Shares, Holder shall deliver to the Company a written notice (a "Registration Notice") informing the Company of such exercise and specifying the number of shares to be offered by such Holder (such shares to be offered being referred to herein as the "Registrable Securities"). Such notice may be given at any time on or after the date a notice of exchange is delivered by Holder to the Partnership pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, but must be given at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the anticipated consummation of the sale of Registrable Securities, which consummation shall in any event be subject to an effective Shelf Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined) or an effective New Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined). As used in this Agreement, a "Business Day" is any Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday other than a day on which banks and other financial institutions are authorized or required to be closed for business in the State of New York or Michigan. Upon receipt of the Registration Notice, the Company, if it has not already caused the Registrable Securities to be included as part of an existing shelf registration statement (prior to the filing of which the Company shall have given ten (10) Business Days notice to Holder) and related prospectus that the Company than has on file with the Commission (the "Shelf Registration Statement") (in which event the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its registration obligation under this Section 3), will cause to be filed with the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the Registration Notice a new registration statement and related prospectus (a "New Registration Statement") that complies as to form in all material respects with applicable Commission rules providing for the sale by Holder of the Registrable Securities, and agrees (subject to Section 3.2 hereof) to use its best efforts to cause such New Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable. (As used herein, "Registration Statement" and "Prospectus" refer to the Shelf Registration Statement and related prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus) or the New Registration Statement and related prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus), whichever is utilized by the Company to satisfy Holder's Registration Rights pursuant to this Section 3, including in each case any documents incorporated therein by reference.) Holder agrees to provide in a timely manner information regarding the proposed distribution by Holder of the Registrable Securities and such other information reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of and for inclusion in the Registration Statement. The Company agrees (subject to Section 3.2 hereof) to use its best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective (including the preparation and filing of any amendments and supplements necessary for that purpose) until the earlier of (i) the date on which Holder consummates the sale of all of the Registrable Securities registered under the Registration Statement, or (ii) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any successor provision) or in a single transaction pursuant to Rule 144(e) (or any successor provision) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), provided, that except with respect to any Shelf Registration, such period need to extend beyond nine months after the effective date of the Registration Statement; and provided further, that with respect to any Shelf Registration, such period need not extend beyond the time period provided in this Section 3.1(a), and which periods, in any event, shall terminate when all the Exchange Shares covered by such Registration Statement have been sold (but not before the expiration of the time period provided in Section 4(3) of the Act and Rule 174 thereunder, if applicable). The Company agrees to provide to Holder a reasonable number of copies of the final Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may at any time, in its sole discretion and prior to receiving any Registration Notice from Holder, include all of Holder's Exchange Shares or any portion thereof in any Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with any Registration Statement utilized by the Company to satisfy Holder Registration Rights pursuant to this Section 3, Holder agrees that it will respond within ten (10) Business Days to any request by the Company to provide or verify information regarding Holder or Holder's Registrable Securities as may be required to be included in such Registration Statement pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission.
Suspension of Registration If the continued use of the Shelf Registration Statement at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, suspend use of the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Suspension”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a Shelf Suspension (i) more than twice during any 12-month period; or (ii) for a period exceeding 60 days on any one occasion. In the case of a Shelf Suspension, the Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the notice referred to above. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders in writing upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission and furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may reasonably request. The Company shall, if necessary, supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the registration form used by the Company for the Shelf Registration Statement or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or as may reasonably be requested by any Holder.
Expenses of Registration All expenses incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers, legal and accounting fees shall be paid by the Company.
