Time out before jump ball?

I believe you can grant a time out before an extra period starts, if it was one of your original 5, and it isn't a succesive time out. You can't use the extra time out given as a result of the extra period until, I believe, the ball has become live, and if I remember correctly, time has run off the clock. HELP on this one, please.

If I remember correctly, a time out before an extra period cannot be successive (no books at work, I need to get them out of the bag now that my season is over). So what we're saying is the only time that a single time out can not be taken is before a jump ball to begin the game.
