Termination and Suspension Customer is entitled to suspend the performance of its obligations in whole or in part or terminate the Agreement with immediate effect, without prejudice to its right to claim damages and without any compensation to or indemnification of Supplier (i) in case Supplier has been declared bankrupt, is in a state of liquidation, has ceased or suspended whole or a substantial part of its business, is subject of a court order or preventative legal scheme of settlement, (ii) in case of non- compliance with the Compliance Requirements or the provisions of safety, health, environment and security or (iii) in case of not approved changes pursuant to article 10. After such termination Customer may return received Goods and/or Services in whole or partly against repayment and retransfer of ownership therein to Supplier.
Six-Month Delay Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no compensation or benefits, including without limitation any severance payments or benefits payable under this Section 4, shall be paid to the Executive during the six-month period following the Executive’s Separation from Service if the Company determines that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first day of the seventh month following the date of Separation from Service (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of the Executive’s death), the Company shall pay the Executive a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to the Executive during such period.
No Suspension, Etc Trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall not have been suspended by the Commission or the OTC Bulletin Board (except for any suspension of trading of limited duration agreed to by the Company, which suspension shall be terminated prior to the Closing), and, at any time prior to the Closing Date, trading in securities generally as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”) shall not have been suspended or limited, or minimum prices shall not have been established on securities whose trades are reported by Bloomberg, or on the New York Stock Exchange, nor shall a banking moratorium have been declared either by the United States or New York State authorities, nor shall there have occurred any material outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis of such magnitude in its effect on, or any material adverse change in any financial market which, in each case, in the judgment of such Purchaser, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to purchase the Securities to be issued as of the Closing.
Suspension Period Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defer the filing of (but not the preparation of), or suspend the use by the Holder of, any Registration Statement for a period of up to sixty (60) days (unless a longer period is consented to by the Holder) (i) upon issuance by the Commission of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement with respect to Registrable Securities or the initiation of proceedings with respect to such Registration Statement under Section 9(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act; (ii) if the Company believes in good faith that any such registration or offering would require the Company (after consultation with external legal counsel), under applicable securities laws and other laws, to make disclosure of material nonpublic information that would not otherwise be required to be disclosed at that time and the Company believes in good faith that such disclosures at that time would not be in the Company’s best interests; provided that this exception (ii) shall continue to apply only during the time that such material nonpublic information has not been disclosed and remains material; (iii) if the Company elects at such time to offer Company Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company to (x) fund a merger, third-party tender offer or other business combination, acquisition of assets or similar transaction or (y) meet rating agency and other capital funding requirements; or (iv) if the Company is pursuing a primary underwritten offering of Company Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement (any such period, a “Suspension Period”); provided, that in no event shall the Company declare a Suspension Period more than three times in any twelve (12) month period. The Company shall (i) give prompt written notice to the Holder of its declaration of a Suspension Period and of the expiration or termination of the relevant Suspension Period and (ii) promptly resume the process of filing or requesting for effectiveness, or update the suspended Registration Statement, as the case may be, as may be necessary to permit the Holder to offer and sell its Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law.
Covenant Suspension During any period of time (a “Suspension Period”) that (i) the ratings assigned to the Securities by both of the Rating Agencies are Investment Grade Ratings and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the covenants set forth in Sections 1010, 1011, 1012, 1013, 1015(i)(a), 1016, 1017 (other than the first two sentences thereof), 1018, 801(3) and (4), 803(3) and (4) and clause (b) of the first sentence of Section 1019 (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). In the event that Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the preceding sentence and, on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”), one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws its ratings or downgrades the ratings assigned to the Securities below the required Investment Grade Ratings or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants and calculations of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 1012 will be made as though Section 1012 had been in effect during the entire period of time from the Measurement Date. On the Reversion Date, all Debt Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 1010 or one of the clauses set forth in paragraph (b) of Section 1010 or paragraph (a) of Section 1011 or one of the clauses set forth in paragraph (b) of Section 1011 (in each case to the extent such Debt would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Debt Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Debt would not be permitted to be Incurred pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 1010 or one of the clauses set forth in paragraph (b) of Section 1010 or paragraph (a) of Section 1011 or one of the clauses set forth in paragraph (b) of Section 1011, such Debt will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Measurement Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 1010(b)(v) or Section 1011(b)(iii). If the Incurrence of any Debt by a Restricted Subsidiary during the Suspension Period would have been prohibited or conditioned upon such Restricted Subsidiary entering into a Note Guarantee and an Offering Proceeds Note Guarantee had Section 1010 and Section 1011 been in effect at the time of such Incurrence, such Restricted Subsidiary shall enter into a Note Guarantee and an Offering Proceeds Note Guarantee that are senior to or pari passu with such Debt within ten days after the Reversion Date. For purposes of determining compliance with Section 1016 on the Reversion Date, the Net Available Proceeds from all Asset Sales not applied in accordance with the covenant will be deemed to be reset to zero. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither (a) the continued existence, after the date of such withdrawal or downgrade, of facts and circumstances or obligations that were Incurred or otherwise came into existence during a Suspension Period nor (b) the performance of any such obligations, shall constitute a breach of any covenant set forth in the Indenture or cause a Default or Event of Default thereunder; provided, however, that (1) Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries did not Incur or otherwise cause such facts and circumstances or obligations to exist in anticipation of a withdrawal or downgrade below investment grade, (2) Parent reasonably believed that such Incurrence or actions would not result in such a withdrawal or downgrade and (3) if so required each Restricted Subsidiary shall have entered into a Note Guarantee and an Offering Proceeds Note Guarantee within the specified time period. For purposes of clauses (1) and (2) in the preceding sentence, anticipation and reasonable belief may be determined by Parent and shall be conclusively evidenced by a board resolution to such effect adopted in good faith by the Board of Directors of Parent. In reaching their determination, the Board of Directors of Parent may, but need not, consult with the Rating Agencies.
Suspension Periods The Company may (i) delay the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement in conjunction with a Shelf Registration or Demand Registration or (ii) prior to the pricing of any underwritten offering or other offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration or Demand 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) above, only if (A) the Company, by decision of either its chief executive officer or its board of directors or similar governing body, determines in her or its reasonable and good faith judgement (x) that proceeding with such an offering would require the Company to disclose material non-public information that would not otherwise be required to be disclosed at that time and that the Company has, in the reasonable business judgment of its chief executive officer, a valid business purpose to continue to retain as confidential or (y) that the registration or offering to be delayed could, if not delayed, materially adversely affect any bona fide pending or proposed transaction that would be material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, including any debt or equity financing, any acquisition or disposition, any recapitalization or reorganization or any other material transaction, whether due to commercial reasons, a desire to avoid premature disclosure of information or any other reason or (B) the registration or offering to be delayed would, if not delayed, render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, the rules and regulations of the SEC, FINRA, or state securities authority, or other applicable laws or the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed. Any period during which the Company has delayed a filing, an effective date or an offering pursuant to this Section 4 is herein called a “Suspension Period.” If pursuant to this Section 4 the Company delays or withdraws a Demand Registration requested by the Holders, the Initiating Holders making the request shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if they do so, such request shall not count against the limitation on the number of such registrations set forth in Section 2. The Company shall provide prompt written notice to participating Holders of the commencement and termination of any Suspension Period (and any withdrawal of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 4), but shall not be obligated under this Agreement to disclose the reasons therefor. Holders shall keep the existence of each Suspension Period confidential and refrain from making offers and sales of Registrable Securities (and direct any other Persons making such offers and sales to refrain from doing so) during each Suspension Period under the applicable Registration Statement. The Company may not commence a Suspension Period more than two (2) times during any twelve (12) month-period. Each Suspension Period shall be in effect for no more than ninety (90) days and, in the aggregate, Suspension Periods may not be in effect for more than one hundred and twenty (120) days in any twelve (12)-month period.
Month A period commencing at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the first Day of a calendar month and extending until 10:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the first Day of the next succeeding calendar month. Monthly shall have the correlative meaning.
No Suspension Trading in the Common Stock shall not have been suspended on the Exchange and the Common Stock shall not have been delisted from the Exchange.
