The Sacramento California Registration Rights Agreement is a legal document that outlines the rights and obligations of VIA Net. Works, Inc. and certain stockholders in relation to the registration of securities. This agreement serves to grant the stockholders certain rights to have their shares registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These rights ensure that the stockholders have the opportunity to sell or transfer their securities in a public market. The agreement sets out various provisions, including the timing and procedures for registration, the responsibilities of both parties, and the disclosure requirements associated with the registration process. It also covers topics such as piggyback registration rights, demand registration rights, and the allocation of expenses related to the registration. Different types of Sacramento California Registration Rights Agreement between VIA Net. Works, Inc. and certain stockholders may include: 1. Piggyback Registration Rights: This type of registration allows the stockholders to include their shares alongside a larger offering by the company. It enables them to "piggyback" on the registration to gain access to a broader market when VIA Net. Works, Inc. registers its securities for any public offering. 2. Demand Registration Rights: In some cases, stockholders have the right to demand that VIA Net. Works, Inc. initiate a registration of their shares. This can occur within a specified time period or upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the company's intention to conduct an initial public offering (IPO). 3. S-3 Registration Rights: Under certain circumstances, stockholders may be afforded the right to use the simplified "shelf registration" process provided by SEC Form S-3. This allows for more efficient and expedited registration of their securities and subsequent offerings. By entering into the Sacramento California Registration Rights Agreement, VIA Net. Works, Inc. recognizes the importance of providing its stockholders with the ability to freely trade their securities in compliance with applicable securities laws. In return, the stockholders agree to comply with certain restrictions and requirements outlined in the agreement, safeguarding the interests of both parties.
