Requesting Holder. Any Requesting Holder (an “Initiating Form S-3 Holder”) may request at any time that is more than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Company’s IPO that the Company file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act on Form S-3 (or similar or successor form) covering the sale or other distribution of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities held by such Initiating Form S-3 Holder pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (“Form S-3 Demand”) if (i) the reasonably anticipated aggregate gross proceeds would equal or exceed $10,000,000 and (ii) the Company is a registrant qualified to use Form S-3 (or any similar or successor form) to register such Registrable Securities. If such conditions are met, the Company shall promptly give written notice of such Proposed Registration to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities (which notice shall be given not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expected effective date of the Company’s Registration Statement) and shall offer such Holders the right to request inclusion of any of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the Proposed Registration. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall have twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of such notice to deliver to the Company a written request specifying the number of Registrable Securities such Holder intends to sell. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to register under the Securities Act on Form S-3 (or any similar or successor form) as promptly as practicable, for sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified in the Form S-3 Demand, the number of Registrable Securities specified in such Form S-3 Demand and that other Holders have requested to include. In connection with a Form S-3 Demand, the Company agrees to include in the prospectus included in any Registration Statement on Form S-3, such material describing the Company and intended to facilitate the sale of securities being so registered as is reasonably requested for inclusion therein by the Initiating Form S-3 Holders, whether or not the rules applicable to preparation of Form S-3 require the inclusion of such information.
