Lock-up; Transfer Restrictions (a) The Sponsor and the Insiders agree that they shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (the “Founder Shares Lock-up”) until the earliest of (A) one year after the completion of an initial Business Combination and (B) the date following the completion of an initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the closing price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, share consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares shall be released from the Founder Shares Lock-up.
Transfer Restrictions If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
Securities Law Transfer Restrictions By taking and holding this Warrant, the Holder (i) acknowledges that neither this Warrant nor any shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities or blue sky law (collectively, "Securities Laws"); (ii) agrees not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, and agrees not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any such shares of Common Stock without registration unless the sale, transfer or disposition of such shares can be effected without registration and in compliance with the Securities Laws; and (iii) agrees not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any portion thereof or interest therein except as otherwise expressly permitted herein. No part of this Warrant or any portion thereof or interest therein may be transferred, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, except to a Permitted Transferee as hereinafter defined. “Permitted Transferee” shall mean a transferee or assignee that (a)(i) is an entity as to which the Holder is the beneficial owner of at least a majority of the equity therein and the Holder has voting control thereover, (ii) is a member of the Holder's family or a trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or (iii) a successor by inheritance or intestate succession to any interest in this Warrant or any portion thereof and (b) accepts by written instrument reasonably acceptable to the Company each of the terms and conditions that govern this Warrant. Any certificate for shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall bear an appropriate legend describing the foregoing restrictions, unless such shares of Common Stock have been effectively registered under the applicable Securities Laws.
Transfer Restriction No Unreleased Shares or any interest or right therein or part thereof shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or his successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect.
Minimum Transfer Restriction Any Transferring Partner must Transfer not less than the lesser of (i) five hundred (500) Partnership Units or (ii) all of the remaining Partnership Units owned by such Transferring Partner, without, in each case, the Consent of the General Partner; provided, however, that, for purposes of determining compliance with the foregoing restriction, all Partnership Units owned by Affiliates of a Limited Partner shall be considered to be owned by such Limited Partner.
No Other Legend or Stock Transfer Restrictions No legend other than the one specified in Section 9.1 has been or shall be placed on the share certificates representing the Registrable Securities and no instructions or "stop transfer orders," "stock transfer restrictions," or other restrictions have been or shall be given to the Company's transfer agent with respect thereto other than as expressly set forth in this Article IX.
General Transfer Restrictions The right of any Holder to Transfer any Shares held by it is subject to the restrictions set forth below.
Instructions Regarding Transfer Restrictions The Holder consents to the Company making a notation on its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Section 5.
Additional Transfer Restrictions (a) No transfer of the Residual Certificates shall be made unless the Servicer has consented in writing to such transfer. No Residual Certificate may be transferred to a Disqualified Organization. The Servicer will not consent to any proposed transfer (i) to any investor that it knows is a Disqualified Organization or (ii) if the transfer involves less than an entire interest in a Residual Certificate unless (A) the interest transferred is an undivided interest or (B) the transferor or the transferee provides the Servicer with an Opinion of Counsel obtained at its own expense to the effect that the transfer will not jeopardize the REMIC status of any related REMIC. The Servicer's consent to any transfer is further conditioned the Servicer's receipt from the proposed transferee of (x) a Residual Transferee Agreement, (y) a Benefit Plan Affidavit, and (z) either (A) if the transferee is a Non-U.S. Person, an affidavit of the proposed transferee in substantially the form attached as Exhibit 8-A to Exhibit 8 to the Standard Terms and a certificate of the transferor stating whether the Class R Certificate has "tax avoidance potential" as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-3(a)(2), or (B) if the transferee is a U.S. Person, an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit 8-B to Exhibit 8 to the Standard Terms. In addition, if a proposed transfer involves a Private Certificate, (1) the Servicer or the Trustee shall require that the transferor and transferee certify as to the factual basis for the registration or qualification exemption(s) relied upon to exempt the transfer from registration under the Act and all applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, and (2) if the transfer is to be made within three years after the acquisition thereof by a non-Affiliate of the Company from the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, the Servicer or the Trustee also may require an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made without registration or qualification under the Act and applicable state securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the Company, the Trustee or the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the initial transfer of the Residual Certificates or their transfer by a broker or dealer, if such broker or dealer was the initial transferee. Notwithstanding the fulfillment of the prerequisites described above, the Servicer may withhold its consent to, or the Trustee may refuse to recognize, a transfer of a Residual Certificate, but only to the extent necessary to avoid a risk of disqualification of a related REMIC as a REMIC or the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC. Any attempted transfer in violation of the foregoing restrictions shall be null and void and shall not be recognized by the Trustee.
