Upon delivery of the New Issuance Notice, such offer shall be irrevocable unless and until the rights provided for in Section 4.2 shall have been waived or shall have expired.
The Optional Securities; Option Closing Date In addition, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and upon the terms but subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants an option to the several Underwriters to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 Units from the Company at the purchase price per Unit to be paid by the Underwriters for the Firm Securities. The option granted hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time in whole or in part upon notice by the Representative to the Company, which notice may be given at any time within 45 days from the date of this Agreement. Such notice shall set forth (i) the aggregate number of Optional Securities as to which the Underwriters are exercising the option and (ii) the time, date and place at which the Optional Securities will be delivered (which time and date may be simultaneous with, but not earlier than, the First Closing Date; and in the event that such time and date are simultaneous with the First Closing Date, the term “First Closing Date” shall refer to the time and date of delivery of the Firm Securities and such Optional Securities). Any such time and date of delivery, if subsequent to the First Closing Date, is called an “Option Closing Date,” and shall be determined by the Representative and shall not be earlier than two or later than five full business days after delivery of such notice of exercise. If any Optional Securities are to be purchased, each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Optional Securities (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representative may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Optional Securities to be purchased as the number of Firm Securities set forth on Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Securities. The Representative may cancel the option at any time prior to its expiration by giving written notice of such cancellation to the Company.
Offer Notice (i) The Company shall give written notice (the “Offering Notice”) to the Purchaser and the other Forward Contract Parties stating its bona fide intention to offer the New Equity Securities and specifying the number of New Equity Securities and the material terms and conditions, including the price, pursuant to which the Company proposes to offer the New Equity Securities and the applicable pro rata share of such New Equity Securities offered to the Purchaser pursuant to such Offering Notice.
Repurchase of Units (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Partner or other Person holding Units will have the right to withdraw or tender for repurchase any of its Units. The Directors may, from time to time, in their complete and exclusive discretion and on terms and conditions as they may determine, cause the Partnership to repurchase Units in accordance with written tenders. The Partnership will not offer, however, to repurchase Units on more than four occasions during any one Fiscal Year, unless the Partnership has been advised by its legal counsel that more frequent offers would not cause any adverse tax consequences to the Partnership or the Partners. In determining whether to cause the Partnership to repurchase Units, pursuant to written tenders, the Directors will consider the following factors, among others:
Registration Statement Renewal Deadline If immediately prior to the third anniversary (the “Renewal Deadline”) of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement, any of the Notes remain unsold by the Underwriters, the Company will prior to the Renewal Deadline file, if it has not already done so and is eligible to do so, a new automatic shelf registration statement relating to the Notes, in a form satisfactory to the Representatives. If the Company is no longer eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement, the Company will prior to the Renewal Deadline, if it has not already done so, file a new shelf registration statement relating to the Notes, in a form satisfactory to the Representatives, and will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 60 days after the Renewal Deadline. The Company will take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Notes to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating to the Notes. References herein to the Registration Statement shall include such new automatic shelf registration statement or such new shelf registration statement, as the case may be.
Restrictions on Public Sale by Holder of Registrable Securities To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, each Holder whose securities are included in a registration statement agrees not to effect any sale or distribution of the issue being registered or a similar security of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, during the 14 days prior to, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of such registration statement (except as part of such registration), if and to the extent requested in writing by the Company in the case of a non-underwritten public offering or if and to the extent requested in writing by the managing underwriter or Underwriters in the case of an underwritten public offering.
Special Mandatory Redemption If the Canopy Investment is not consummated on or prior to April 1, 2019 or prior to such date the Purchase Agreement is terminated without the completion of the Canopy Investment (either of the foregoing, a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event”), the Company will be required to redeem the Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at a price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. On the Business Day following the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event, the Company (or the Trustee upon the prior written direction from the Company and at the sole cost and expense of the Company) shall deliver a notice of special mandatory redemption in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC to each Holder of Notes stating that the entire principal amount outstanding of the Notes shall be redeemed at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date specified therein automatically and without any further action by the Holders of the Notes. Prior to the opening of business on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent, or the Trustee, cash in an aggregate amount equal to the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for the Notes, calculated as of the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. If funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price with respect to the Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with the Trustee or a Paying Agent prior to the opening of business on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, then, on and after the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Notes will cease to bear interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date will be payable on such Interest Payment Dates to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record dates according to the terms and provisions of Section 2.3. Upon the consummation of the Canopy Investment, this Section 2.10 will cease to apply. The provisions of Sections 5.2, 5.3 and 5.6 of the Initial Indenture shall not be applicable to any special mandatory redemption of the Notes.
Subsequent Rights Offerings In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
