Postponement The Company shall be entitled once in any twelve-month period to postpone for a reasonable period of time (but not exceeding 90 days) (the "Postponement Period") the filing of any registration statement required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant to this Section 3.1 if the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment, as authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors, that such registration and offering would materially interfere with any material financing, corporate reorganization or other material transaction involving the Company or any subsidiary, or would require premature disclosure thereof, and promptly gives the Participating Holders written notice of such determination, containing a general statement of the reasons for such postponement and an approximation of the anticipated delay. If the Company shall so postpone the filing of a registration statement, the Majority Participating Holders shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration by giving written notice to the Company at any time during such Postponement Period and, in the event of such withdrawal, such request shall not be counted for purposes of the requests for registration to which the Holders are entitled pursuant to this Section 3.1.
Postponement of Closing If Firm Shares to which a default relates are to be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters or by any other party or parties, the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the First Closing Date for not more than seven business days in order that the necessary changes in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, in the Prospectus or in any other documents, as well as any other arrangements, may be effected. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 8.
Postponement of Closing Date In the event that the Firm Units to which the default relates are to be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters, or are to be purchased by another party or parties as aforesaid, the Representative or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a reasonable period, but not in any event exceeding five (5) Business Days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement and/or the Prospectus, as the case may be, or in any other documents and arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendment to, or to supplement, the Registration Statement and/or the Prospectus, as the case may be, that in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Underwriters may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any party substituted under this Section 6 with like effect as if it had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such securities.
Holdback In consideration for the Company agreeing to its obligations under this Agreement, each Shareholder agrees in connection with any registration of the Company’s securities (whether or not such Shareholder is participating in such registration) upon the request of the Company and the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Company’s securities, not to effect (other than pursuant to such registration) any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities, including, but not limited to, any sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A, or make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities, any other equity securities of the Company or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity securities of the Company without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, during the Holdback Period, provided that nothing herein will prevent any Shareholder that is a partnership or corporation from making a distribution of Registrable Securities to the partners or shareholders thereof or a transfer to an Affiliate that is otherwise in compliance with applicable securities laws, so long as such distributees agree to be so bound. With respect to such underwritten offering of Registrable Securities covered by a registration pursuant to Sections 2.1 or 2.2, the Company further agrees not to effect (other than pursuant to such registration or pursuant to a Special Registration) any public sale or distribution, or to file any Registration Statement (other than such registration or a Special Registration) covering any, of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the Holdback Period with respect to such underwritten offering, if required by the managing underwriter, provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company’s obligations under this Section 2.7 shall not apply during any twelve-month period for more than an aggregate of ninety days.
Postponement and Adjournment Prior to the date upon which any meeting of Limited Partners is to be held, the General Partner may postpone such meeting one or more times for any reason by giving notice to each Limited Partner entitled to vote at the meeting so postponed of the place, date and hour at which such meeting would be held. Such notice shall be given not fewer than two days before the date of such meeting and otherwise in accordance with this Article XIII. When a meeting is postponed, a new Record Date need not be fixed unless such postponement shall be for more than 45 days. Any meeting of Limited Partners may be adjourned by the General Partner one or more times for any reason, including the failure of a quorum to be present at the meeting with respect to any proposal or the failure of any proposal to receive sufficient votes for approval. No Limited Partner vote shall be required for any adjournment. A meeting of Limited Partners may be adjourned by the General Partner as to one or more proposals regardless of whether action has been taken on other matters. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting and a new Record Date need not be fixed, if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless such adjournment shall be for more than 45 days. At the adjourned meeting, the Partnership may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 45 days or if a new Record Date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with this Article XIII.
Release of D&O Lock-up Period If the Representative, in its sole discretion, agrees to release or waive the restrictions set forth in the Lock-Up Agreements described in Section 2.24 hereof for an officer or director of the Company and provide the Company with notice of the impending release or waiver at least three (3) Business Days before the effective date of the release or waiver, the Company agrees to announce the impending release or waiver by a press release substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto through a major news service at least two (2) Business Days before the effective date of the release or waiver.
Holdback Agreement (a) If (x) the Corporation shall file a Registration Statement (other than a registration statement (i) on Form S-8 or any successor form thereto, (ii) filed solely in connection with a dividend reinvestment plan or employee benefit plan covering officers or directors of the Corporation or its Affiliates or (iii) on Form S-4 or any successor form thereto, in connection with a merger, acquisition, exchange offer or similar corporate transaction) with respect to an underwritten offering of Shares or similar securities or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, such securities and (y) with reasonable prior notice, the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the Corporation in writing (in which case the Corporation shall notify the Holders with a copy of such underwriter’s notice) that a public sale or distribution of Registrable Shares would materially adversely affect such offering, then, each Holder shall, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law and unless such managing underwriter or underwriters otherwise agree, refrain from, directly or indirectly, effecting any public sale, distribution or short sale of any Registrable Shares (except as part of such underwritten offering) during the period beginning ten days prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement and continuing until the earliest of (A) the abandonment of such offering, (B) such period of time as is sufficient and appropriate in the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters in order to complete the sale and distribution of securities included in such registration (but in no event in excess of 90 days following the effective date of any offering) and (C) the termination in whole or in part of any “hold back” period obtained by the underwriter or underwriters in such offering from the Corporation in connection therewith (each such period, a “Hold Back Period”); provided, that the Holders shall not be subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 4(a) unless each officer and director of the Corporation (regardless of the number of Shares then owned by such officer or director) and each beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of at least 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock also agree to be bound by such restrictions.
Holdback Amount Escrow Agent shall hold back in escrow from Seller’s net proceeds at Closing an amount equal to Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) (the “Holdback Amount”). The sole purpose for which the Holdback Amount may be applied is as to any amounts which Seller owes to Purchaser for post-Closing claims to the extent allowed and subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement. For clarity, the Holdback Amount is intended as a source of payment, but not as a limitation of damages that may be claimed by Purchaser. Except as to any amounts claimed to be owed by Seller to Purchaser which amounts are specifically reflected in a lawsuit commenced against Seller within twelve (12) months after the Closing for damages based upon the post-Closing claim, Escrow Agent shall disburse the balance of the Holdback Amount to Seller immediately following the expiration of the twelve (12) month period. Prior to institution of any such lawsuit, Purchaser shall provide at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Seller, specifying the exact amount and nature of any such claim asserted by Purchaser against the Holdback Amount. Any lawsuit commenced against Seller must specifically set forth the exact amount which is claimed to be owed by Seller to Purchaser, and absent such specific amount being identified, Escrow Agent is authorized to release the entire Holdback Amount to Seller immediately following the expiration of the twelve month (12) month period post-Closing. Any portion of the Holdback Amount which Escrow Agent is entitled to retain pursuant to this Section 3.10 after the passage of the twelve (12) month period, shall continue to be held in escrow pending final and unappealable dismissal or judgment in the action or actions timely commenced by Purchaser or settled pursuant to a written agreement between Seller and Purchaser. If Purchaser obtains a final and unappealable judgment in any such action, Escrow Agent is directed to make a disbursement to Purchaser from the Holdback Amount retained in escrow in the amount of the judgment plus any interest, attorney’s fees, and costs to which it is entitled thereon upon presentation to Escrow Agent and Seller of the court order or other evidence of such final and unappealable judgment. Once all such actions are either finally or unappealably dismissed or a final and unappealable judgment is entered therein or settled pursuant to a written agreement between Seller and Purchaser, and any amount of damages due to Purchaser is paid, whether from the Holdback Amount or otherwise, Escrow Agent is directed to disburse to Seller any remaining balance of the Holdback Amount. The parties shall execute any additional escrow instructions not inconsistent with the foregoing reasonably required by Escrow Agent or either party relating to the Holdback Amount. Escrow Agent’s fees and costs for holding and disbursing the Holdback Amount shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser.
Lock-up Period; Lock-up Letters For a period of 60 days from the date of the Prospectus, not to, directly or indirectly, (i) offer for sale, sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any Common Units or securities convertible into, or exchangeable for Common Units, or sell or grant options, rights or warrants with respect to any Common Units or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Units (other than the grant of options pursuant to option plans existing on the date hereof), or (ii) enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of such Common Units, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Units or other securities, in cash or otherwise, in each case without the prior written consent of each of the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions do not apply to: (A) the issuance and sale of Common Units by the Partnership to the Underwriters in connection with the public offering contemplated by this Agreement, (B) the issuance and sale of Common Units, phantom units, restricted units and options by the Partnership to employees and directors of EPCO and its affiliates under the EPCO Employee Unit Purchase Plan, the Enterprise Products 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Enterprise Products GP, LLC 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan, including sales pursuant to “cashless-broker” exercises of options to purchase Common Units in accordance with such plans as consideration for the exercise price and withholding taxes applicable to such exercises, (C) the issuance and sale of Common Units issued pursuant to the Partnership’s DRIP or (D) the filing of a “universal” shelf registration statement on Form S-3, including both debt and equity securities, and any amendments thereto, which such registration statement may also include Common Units of selling unitholders; provided, that (1) the Enterprise Parties shall otherwise remain subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 5(i) with respect to any Common Units or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Units registered thereunder, (2) such registration statement and amendments if so filed shall contain only a generic and undetermined plan of distribution with respect to such securities during the aforementioned 60-day period, and (3) any selling unitholders registering Common Units under such registration statement shall agree in writing to be subject to the lock up provisions set forth in the form of letter attached as Exhibit C hereto. Each affiliate, executive officer and director of the General Partner listed on Schedule IV shall furnish to the Underwriters, prior to or on the First Delivery Date, a letter or letters, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto.
Holdback Agreements (a) Each holder of Registrable Securities shall not effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven days prior to and the 180-day period beginning on the effective date of any underwritten Demand Registration or any underwritten Piggyback Registration in which Registrable Securities are included (except as part of such underwritten registration), unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree.
