Covenant Suspension During any period of time that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade ratings from at least two (2) Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event” and the date thereof being referred to as the “Suspension Date”), the covenants specifically listed in Section 4.12, Section 4.13 , Section 4.15, Section 4.16 and Section 4.17 will not be applicable to the Notes (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”), provided, however, that in no event with the covenant referenced in Section 4.15 cease to be applicable before January 1, 2030. In the event that the Company and its Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) the Notes cease to have an Investment Grade rating from any two (2) Rating Agencies, then the Company and its Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to herein as the “Suspension Period”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or events occurring during a Suspension Period covered by the Suspended Covenants will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; provided that:
(1) with respect to Restricted Payments made after the applicable Reversion Date, the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments will be calculated as though the covenant described under Section 4.12 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period;
(2) on the Reversion Date, any Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 4.13 or one of the clauses set forth in items (a) through (n) under Section 4.13 (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date), and to the extent such Indebtedness would not be permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.13, such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (2) of Section 4.13; and
(3) any Affiliate Transaction entered into after the Reversion Date pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to clause (iv) of the second paragraph of the covenant described under Section 4.15. On and after each Reversion Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate the transactions contemplated by any agreement or commitment entered into during the relevant Suspension Period, so long as such agreement or commitment and such consummation would have been permitted during such Suspension Period. The Issuer or the Company shall give the Trustee prompt written notice of any occurrence of a covenant suspension and in any event not later than five Business Days after the occurrence of such covenant suspension. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect. The Issuer or the Company shall give the Trustee prompt written notice of any occurrence of a Reversion Date not later than five Business Days after such Reversion Date. After any such notice of the occurrence of a Reversion Date, the Trustee shall assume that the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect. There can be no assurance that the Notes will ever achieve or maintain Investment Grade ratings. The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the ratings of the Notes, determine whether a Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date has occurred or notify Holders of the same.
Suspension Period (a) The Company may suspend the use of a prospectus that is part of a Registration Statement for up to 30 consecutive days (or such shorter period as the Company determines in good faith is necessary under the circumstances, with extensions beyond such shorter period up to the 30-day maximum as may be required after consultation with counsel) from the date of the Suspension Notice (as defined below) in any given 12-month period, and therefore suspend sales of Registrable Securities available for sale pursuant to such Registration Statement (such period, the “Suspension Period”) by providing written notice to each Holder if the Company’s board of directors determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such suspension is in the best interests of the Company.
(b) In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Registration Statement as set forth in Section 3(a) above (a “Suspension Event”), the Company shall promptly give a written notice to the Holders (a “Suspension Notice”) to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities (but shall not contain any material non-public information concerning the Company) and that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event is continuing. A Holder shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). Each Holder agrees that such Holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the Suspension Notice and shall not disclose the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement; provided, that the foregoing will not prohibit the Holder from trading in the Registrable Securities solely by virtue of having received a Suspension Notice and the information contained therein. A Holder may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement (or such filings) following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event.
Suspension Periods The Company may, after receiving the written consent of both Univar NV, CD&R Investor and Temasek Investor, (i) delay the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement in conjunction with a Demand Registration or an S-3 Shelf Registration or (ii) prior to the pricing of any Underwritten Offering or other offering of Registrable Shares pursuant to a Demand Registration or an S-3 Shelf Registration, delay such underwritten or other offering (and, if it so chooses, withdraw any registration statement that has been filed), but in each case described in clauses (i) and (ii) only if the Company determines (x) that proceeding with such an offering would require the Company to disclose material non-public information, which disclosure in the good faith judgment of the Board (after consultation with external legal counsel), would not otherwise be required to be disclosed at that time but for the filing, effectiveness or continued use of such Registration Statement and that the disclosure of such information at that time would not be in the Company’s best interests, or (y) that the registration or offering to be delayed would, if not delayed, materially and adversely affect the Company or the Group or materially interfere with, or jeopardize the success of, any pending or proposed material transaction, including, if material, any debt or equity financing, any acquisition or disposition, any recapitalization or reorganization or any other transaction. Any period during which the Company has delayed a filing, an effective date or an offering pursuant to this Section 5.05 is herein called a “Suspension Period”. If pursuant to this Section 5.05 the Company delays or withdraws a Demand Registration or S-3 Shelf Registration requested by a Stockholder, such Stockholder shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if it does so, such request shall not count against the limitation on the number of such registrations set forth in Section 5.02 or Section 5.04. The Company shall provide prompt written notice to the Stockholders of the commencement and termination of any Suspension Period (and any withdrawal of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 5.03). The Stockholders shall keep the existence of each Suspension Period confidential. In no event (i) may the Company deliver notice of a Suspension Period to the Stockholders more than two times in any calendar year (or more than once in a six month period) and (ii) shall a Suspension Period or Suspension Periods be in effect for an aggregate of 90 days or more in any calendar year or any single period of time in excess of 60 days.
During the Term As compensation for services hereunder rendered during the Term hereof, Executive shall receive a base salary (“Base Salary”) of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) per year payable in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s payroll procedure for its salaried executives. Salary payments and other payments under this Agreement shall be subject to withholding of taxes and other appropriate and customary amounts. Executive may receive increases in his Base Salary from time to time, based upon his performance, subject to approval of the Company.
SUSPENSION & TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT Enterprise Services may suspend Contractor’s operations under this Master Contract immediately by written cure notice of any default. Suspension shall continue until the default is remedied to Enterprise Services’ reasonable satisfaction; Provided, however, that, if after thirty (30) days from such a suspension notice, Contractor remains in default, Enterprise Services may terminate Contractor’s rights under this Master Contract. All of Contractor’s obligations to Enterprise Services and Purchasers survive termination of Contractor’s rights under this Master Contract, until such obligations have been fulfilled.
