Demand Rights contract clause examples

At any time while a Registration Statement is effective, any Notice Holder or group of Notice Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding may make written requests (each, an “Underwritten Offering Demand Request”) to the Company for Underwritten Offerings (each, a “Demand Underwritten Offering”) of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. Any Underwritten Offering Demand Request will specify # the names of the requesting Notice Holders and number of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered on behalf of each such Notice Holder, # the desired Offering Launch Date for the Demand Underwritten Offering, which shall not be less than ten (10) (nor more than twenty (20)) Business Days following the date on which the Underwritten Offering Demand Request is provided to the Company and # a single Person (the “Demand Offering Representative”) appointed by Notice Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities proposed, in the Underwritten Offering Demand Request, to be registered who shall serve as the representative of the Notice Holders with respect to the Demand Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

If an Underwritten Offering Demand Request is received from Notice Holders representing less than all Notice Holders of Registrable Securities, the Company shall within five (5) Business Days of the receipt thereof provide a copy of such Underwritten Offering Demand Request to all other Notice Holders of Registrable Securities.

The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to include in such Demand Underwritten Offering any Registrable Securities requested to be included by such other Notice Holders of Registrable Securities by notice to the Company provided within five (5) Business Days of the date on which such Underwritten Offering Demand Request was provided to such other Notice Holders of Registrable Securities.

Upon receipt of an Underwritten Offering Demand Request, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to prepare the applicable offering documents and take such other actions as are set forth in Section 5.1 relating to such Demand Underwritten Offering in order to permit the Offering Launch Date for such Demand Underwritten Offering to occur on the date set forth in the Underwritten Offering Demand Request. The Demand Offering Representative shall have the right, in consultation with the managing underwriters, to determine the actual Offering Launch Date; provided, such date is not less than ten (10) (nor more than twenty (20)) Business Days after the date on which the Company received the applicable Underwritten Offering Demand Request, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company. The Demand Offering Representative, on behalf of the Notice Holders, will have the right to determine the structure of the offering and negotiate the terms of any underwriting agreement as they relate to the Notice Holders, including the number of Registrable Securities to be sold (if not all Registrable Securities offered can be sold at the highest price offered by the underwriters), the offering price and underwriting discount. The Demand Offering Representative will also have the right to determine the underwriters (and their roles) in the offering; provided, that the lead underwriter must be a nationally recognized investment banking firm. The Company will coordinate with the Demand Offering Representative in connection with the fulfillment of its responsibilities pursuant to Section 5.1 and will be entitled to rely on the authority of the Demand Offering Representative to act on behalf of all Notice Holders with respect to the Demand Underwritten Offering.

If the managing underwriters of a Demand Underwritten Offering advise the Notice Holders and the Company that the inclusion in such Demand Underwritten Offering of all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein would adversely affect the success of such Demand Underwritten Offering, only the full number or amount of Registrable Securities that, in the view of such managing underwriters, can be sold without adversely affecting the success of such Demand Underwritten Offering will be included in such Demand Underwritten Offering and the number or amount Registrable Securities to be included in such Demand Underwritten Offering shall be allocated pro rata among the Notice Holders that have requested Registrable Securities to be included in such Demand Underwritten Offering, on the basis of the number or amount of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by each such Notice Holder.
