(b) The Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any registration requested by the Holders pursuant to subsection (a) above (i) after two years from the date of this Warrant, or (ii) after the Company has effected one (1) registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 and such registration has been declared or ordered effective. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, a registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall not be deemed to have been effected (i) unless it has become effective and remains effective for at least 180 days; provided, however, that a registration which does not become effective after the Company has filed a registration statement with respect thereto solely by reason of the refusal by a requesting Holder, in its sole discretion, to proceed with such registration shall be deemed to have been effected by the Company at the request of the Holders unless the requesting Holder shall have elected to pay all Company Registration Expenses (as defined in Section 4 below) in connection with such registration, (ii) if after it has become effective such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason other than a misrepresentation or an omission by any participating Holder, or (iii) if the conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied other than by reason of some wrongful act or omission, or act or omission in bad faith, by any participating Holder. (d) The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 within 90 days after the effective date of any underwritten public offering by the Company (which period may be extended up to an additional 90 days if, and only to the extent that, all directors, executive officers and other persons with registration rights with respect to securities of the Company are required to execute standard lockup agreements with the underwriters in such public offering) or of any previous registration withdrawn at the request of the requesting Holders. The Company may postpone for up to 90 days the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 if the financial advisor and/or underwriter to the Company certifies to the holders of the Registrable Securities that such registration would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company; provided, however, that in such event the Holders of Registrable Securities requesting such Registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such Registration shall not count as the one permitted registration under this Section 2.1 and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such postponed or withdrawn registration. Notwithstanding the above, the Company may delay a demand registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 only once in any twelve month period. In addition, upon written notice from the Company to Holder of the effectiveness of an underwritten public offering, Holder agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities under any registration statement effected under this Section 2.1 for a period of thirty (30) days following such effective date.

The Company shall not deliver to the Investor any Advance Notice during the continuation of any of the foregoing events.
Notification of Acceptance of General Offer of Terms Upon execution of Exhibit E, General Offer of Terms, Subscribing LEA shall provide notice of such acceptance in writing and given by personal delivery, or e-mail transmission (if contact information is provided for the specific mode of delivery), or first class mail, postage prepaid, to the designated representative below.
Resolution of Conflicts of Interest; Standards of Conduct and Modification of Duties (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any Group Member Agreement, whenever a potential conflict of interest exists or arises between the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Partnership, any Group Member or any Partner, on the other, any resolution or course of action by the General Partner or its Affiliates in respect of such conflict of interest shall be permitted and deemed approved by all Partners, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, of any Group Member Agreement, of any agreement contemplated herein or therein, or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity, if the resolution or course of action in respect of such conflict of interest is (i) approved by Special Approval, (ii) approved by the vote of a majority of the Common Units (excluding Common Units owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates), (iii) on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties or (iv) fair and reasonable to the Partnership, taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the Partnership). The General Partner shall be authorized but not required in connection with its resolution of such conflict of interest to seek Special Approval of such resolution, and the General Partner may also adopt a resolution or course of action that has not received Special Approval. If Special Approval is not sought and the Board of Directors of the General Partner determines that the resolution or course of action taken with respect to a conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (iii) or (iv) above, then it shall be presumed that, in making its decision, the Board of Directors of the General Partner acted in good faith, and in any proceeding brought by any Limited Partner or by or on behalf of such Limited Partner or any other Limited Partner or the Partnership challenging such approval, the Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming such presumption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law or equity, the existence of the conflicts of interest described in the Registration Statement are hereby approved by all Partners and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. (b) Whenever the General Partner makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of its Affiliates causes it to do so, in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership as opposed to in its individual capacity, whether under this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then, unless another express standard is provided for in this Agreement, the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall make such determination or take or decline to take such other action in good faith and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity. In order for a determination or other action to be in “good faith” for purposes of this Agreement, the Person or Persons making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action must believe that the determination or other action is in the best interests of the Partnership, unless the context otherwise requires. (c) Whenever the General Partner makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of its Affiliates causes it to do so, in its individual capacity as opposed to in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership, whether under this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, are entitled to make such determination or to take or decline to take such other action free of any fiduciary duty or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership, any Limited Partner, and the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall not be required to act in good faith or pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity. By way of illustration and not of limitation, whenever the phrase, “at the option of the General Partner,” or some variation of that phrase, is used in this Agreement, it indicates that the General Partner is acting in its individual capacity. For the avoidance of doubt, whenever the General Partner votes or transfers its Partnership Interests, or refrains from voting or transferring its Partnership Interests, it shall be acting in its individual capacity. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner and its Affiliates shall have no duty or obligation, express or implied, to (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any asset of the Partnership Group other than in the ordinary course of business or (ii) permit any Group Member to use any facilities or assets of the General Partner and its Affiliates, except as may be provided in contracts entered into from time to time specifically dealing with such use. Any determination by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates to enter into such contracts shall be at its option. (e) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall have any duties or liabilities, including fiduciary duties, to the Partnership or any Limited Partner and the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict, eliminate or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of the General Partner or any other Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of the General Partner or such other Indemnitee. (f) The Unitholders hereby authorize the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership as a partner or member of a Group Member, to approve of actions by the general partner or managing member of such Group Member similar to those actions permitted to be taken by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.9.
