Black-Out Periods. The Participant acknowledges that, to the extent the vesting of any PSUs occurs during a “blackout” period wherein certain employees, including the Participant, are precluded from selling Stock, the Administrator retains the right, in its sole discretion, to defer the delivery of the Stock pursuant to the PSU; provided, however, that the Administrator will not exercise its right to defer the Participant’s receipt of such Stock if such shares of Stock are specifically covered by a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan of the Participant which causes such shares to be exempt from any applicable blackout period then in effect. In the event the receipt of any shares of Stock is deferred hereunder due to the existence of a regularly scheduled blackout period, such shares will be issued to the Participant on the first day following the termination of such regularly scheduled blackout period; provided, however, that in no event will the issuance of such shares be deferred subsequent to March 15th of the year following the year in which the shares vest.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any deferred shares of Stock will be issued promptly to the Participant prior to the termination of the blackout period in the event the Participant ceases to be subject to the blackout period. The Participant hereby represents that he or she accepts the effect of any such deferral under relevant federal, state and local tax laws or otherwise.

Black-Out Periods.

The Company, as soon as practicable, shall (i) give the Holders prompt written notice in the event that the Company has suspended sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3. (ii) give the Holders prompt written notice of the completion of such offering or material transaction and (iii) promptly file any amendment necessary for any registration statement or prospectus of the Holders in connection with the completion of such event. Each Holder agrees by acquisition of the Registrable Securities that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in this Section 3, such Holder will forthwith discontinue its disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement relating to such Registrable Securities until such Holder’s receipt of the notice of completion of such event.
Black-Out Periods. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 14 to the contrary, if the Company shall furnish to the Holders initiating a registration pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that the Corporation’s board of directors has made the good faith determination (after consultation with counsel) (i) that use by the Holders of such proposed registration statement for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Registrable Securities pursuant thereto would require, under the Securities Act, premature disclosure in such registration statement of material, nonpublic information concerning any proposed material transaction involving the Company; (ii) that such premature disclosure would be materially adverse to the Company or such proposed material transaction or would make the successful consummation by the Company of any such material transaction significantly less likely; and (iii) that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Registrable Securities pursuant thereto, then the right of the Holders to require the Company to file such registration statement for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Registrable Securities pursuant thereto shall be suspended for a period (the “Black Out Period”) of not more than 60 days after delivery by the Company of the certificate referred to above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if the public announcement of such material transaction is made during a Black Out Period, then the Black Out Period shall terminate without any further action of the parties and the Company shall immediately notify such Holders of such termination, and (B) the Company may not exercise the right to initiate a Black Out Period more than once in any twelve month period.
Black-Out Periods. Following the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, the Participating Holder(s) will not effect any sales of Class A Common Stock pursuant to such Registration Statement at any time after they have received notice from the Company to suspend sales (i) as a result of a Suspension Event or (ii) so that the Company may correct or update the Registration Statement, which correction shall be promptly made. Participating Holder(s) may recommence effecting sales of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement following further notice to such effect from the Company, which notice shall be given promptly after the conclusion or completion of any such Suspension Event, correction or update.
Black-Out Periods. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have the right, exercisable from time to time by delivery of a notice authorized by the Board, on not more than two occasions in any 12-month period, to require the Holders not to sell pursuant to a registration statement or similar document under the Securities Act filed pursuant to Section 2 or to suspend the effectiveness thereof if at the time of the delivery of such notice, the Board has considered a plan to engage no later than 60 days following the date of such notice in a firm commitment underwritten public offering or if the Board has reasonably and in good faith determined that such registration and offering, continued effectiveness or sale would materially interfere with any material transaction involving the Company; provided, however, that in no event shall the black-out period extend for more than 90 days on any such occasion. If the consummation of any business combination by the Company has occurred or is probable for purposes of Rule 3-05 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Act, the rights of the Holders to offer, sell or distribute any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement shall be suspended until the date on which the Company has filed the financial information required by Rule 3-05 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X to be included or incorporated by reference, as applicable, in the Shelf Registration. The Company, as soon as practicable, shall (i) give the Holders prompt written notice in the event that the Company has suspended sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3, (ii) give the Holders prompt written notice of the completion of such offering or material transaction or filing of the required financial information with the Commission, as the case may be, and (iii) promptly file any amendment necessary for any registration statement or prospectus of the Holders in connection with the completion of such event.
