A New Jersey Registration Rights Agreement refers to a legally binding document that governs the rights and obligations between VIA Net. Works, Inc. (the company) and certain stockholders (the investors) in terms of the registration of their securities with the New Jersey regulatory authorities. In this Agreement, VIA Net. Works, Inc. grants the investors certain rights that facilitate the registration of their securities, ensuring transparency and compliance with the state's securities laws. The agreement outlines the specific terms and conditions regarding the registration process and the respective responsibilities of both parties. There can be several types of New Jersey Registration Rights Agreements, including: 1. Demand Registration Rights: This type of agreement allows investors to request that VIA Net. Works, Inc. register their securities with the regulatory authorities at any time after a specified period. The company is generally obligated to fulfill these demands within a certain timeframe outlined in the agreement. 2. Piggyback Registration Rights: With piggyback registration rights, the investors have the opportunity to include their securities in a registration statement filed by VIA Net. Works, Inc. These rights enable the investors to "piggyback" on the company's registration, thereby avoiding the costs and efforts associated with an individual registration process. 3. Shelf Registration Rights: A shelf registration allows investors to have their securities registered in advance, without requiring an immediate sale. This type of registration is particularly beneficial when investors intend to sell their securities in the future but want to avoid delays or the need to initiate a new registration process. 4. Form S-3 Registration Rights: Form S-3 is a simplified registration form that enables VIA Net. Works, Inc. and its investors to register securities automatically, provided certain criteria are met. This type of registration is typically faster and less burdensome than other methods, ensuring efficient access to the capital markets. In summary, a New Jersey Registration Rights Agreement between VIA Net. Works, Inc. and certain stockholders establishes the framework for registering and selling securities in accordance with the state's laws. Its different types such as demand registration, piggyback registration, shelf registration, and Form S-3 registration cater to the specific needs and preferences of the investors and the company.
