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. In the event the receipt of any shares of Stock is deferred hereunder due to the existence of a special blackout period, such shares will be issued to the Participant on the first day following the termination of such special blackout period as determined by the Company’s General Counsel or his or her delegatee; 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 such 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.

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.

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.

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. If, at any time during which a prospectus for a Required Registration is required to be delivered in connection with the sale of any Registrable Securities, the Company reasonably determines in good faith and upon the advice of its outside legal counsel that a development has occurred or a condition exists as a result of which the prospectus contains a material misstatement or omission, or that a material transaction in which the Company is engaged or proposes to engage would require an amendment to the prospectus or registration statement, a supplement to the applicable registration statement and related prospectus, or a filing under the Exchange Act or other public disclosure of material information and the disclosure of such transaction would be materially premature or materially injurious to the consummation of the transaction, the Company will promptly so notify in writing the holders of the Registrable Securities included in the Required Registration. Upon receipt of such notification, such holders and their affiliates will immediately suspend all offers and sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. In such event, the Company will amend or supplement the applicable registration statement and related prospectus or make such filings or public disclosures as promptly as practicable consistent with the restrictions set forth in this Section 3 and will use its best efforts to take such other steps as may be required to permit sales of the Registrable Securities thereunder by the holders of Registrable Securities whose Registrable Securities are included in the Required Registration and its affiliates in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws as promptly as practicable. The Company will promptly notify the holders of Registrable Securities whose Registrable Securities are included in the Required Registration after it has determined in good faith that such sales have become permissible in such manner and will promptly deliver copies of the prospectus (as so amended or supplemented, if applicable) to the holders of Registrable Securities whose Registrable Securities are included in the Required Registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances other than a Required Suspension will the Company be entitled to exercise its right to suspend offers and sales of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Required Registration as provided in this Section 3 (x) for more one time or for a period ...
