Piggy-Back Rights If at any time on or after the date the Company consummates a Business Combination the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for shareholders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by shareholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.
Clawback Rights The Annual Bonus, and any and all stock based compensation (such as options and equity awards) (collectively, the “Clawback Benefits”) shall be subject to “Clawback Rights” as follows: during the period that the Executive is employed by the Parent and upon the termination of the Executive’s employment and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, if there is a restatement of any financial results from which any Clawback Benefits to the Executive shall have been determined, the Executive agrees to repay any amounts which were determined by reference to any Parent financial results which were later restated (as defined below), to the extent the Clawback Benefits amounts paid exceed the Clawback Benefits amounts that would have been paid, based on the restatement of the Parent’s financial information. All Clawback Benefits amounts resulting from such restated financial results shall be retroactively adjusted by the Compensation Committee to take into account the restated results, and any excess portion of the Clawback Benefits resulting from such restated results shall be immediately surrendered to the Parent and if not so surrendered within ninety (90) days of the revised calculation being provided to the Executive by the Compensation Committee following a publicly announced restatement, the Parent shall have the right to take any and all action to effectuate such adjustment. The calculation of the revised Clawback Benefits amount shall be determined by the Compensation Committee in good faith and in accordance with applicable law, rules and regulations. All determinations by the Compensation Committee with respect to the Clawback Rights shall be final and binding on the Parent and the Executive. The Clawback Rights shall terminate following a Change of Control as defined in Section 12(f), subject to applicable law, rules and regulations. For purposes of this Section 7, a restatement of financial results that requires a repayment of a portion of the Clawback Benefits amounts shall mean a restatement resulting from material non-compliance of the Parent with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws and shall not include a restatement of financial results resulting from subsequent changes in accounting pronouncements or requirements which were not in effect on the date the financial statements were originally prepared (“Restatements”). The parties acknowledge it is their intention that the foregoing Clawback Rights as relates to Restatements conform in all respects to the provisions of the Dxxx-Fxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dxxx-Xxxxx Act”) and require recovery of all “incentive-based” compensation, pursuant to the provisions of the Dxxx-Xxxxx Act and any and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder from time to time in effect. Accordingly, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed automatically amended from time to time to assure compliance with the Dxxx-Xxxxx Act and such rules and regulations as hereafter may be adopted and in effect.
Piggyback Rights If, at any time on or after the date the Company consummates a Business Combination, the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company.
Participation in Benefit Plans The Executive shall be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans and programs maintained by the Company from time to time for its executives, or for its employees generally, including without limitation any life, medical, dental, accidental and disability insurance and profit sharing, pension, retirement, savings, stock option, incentive stock and deferred compensation plans, in accordance with the terms and conditions as in effect from time to time.
Stock Rights In the event of a Change in Control, all restricted Company stock and all options, stock appreciation rights, and/or other stock rights held by Executive with respect to Company stock that are exempt from Section 409A (“Stock Rights”) which are not fully vested (and exercisable, if applicable) shall become fully vested and exercisable as of a time established by the Board, which shall be no later than a time preceding the Change in Control which allows Executive to exercise the Stock Rights and cause the stock acquired thereby to participate in the Change in Control transaction. If the Change in Control transaction is structured so that stock participating therein at one time is or may be treated differently from stock participating therein at a different time (e.g., a tender offer followed by a squeeze-out merger), the Board shall interpret this Subsection (d) to provide for the required vesting acceleration in a manner designed to allow Executive to exercise the Stock Rights and cause the stock acquired thereby to participate in the earliest portion of the Change in Control transaction. If the consummation of a Change in Control transaction is uncertain (e.g., a tender offer in which the tender of a minimum number of shares is a condition to closing, or a voted merger or proxy contest in which a minimum number of votes is a condition to closing), the Board shall apply this Subsection (d) by using its best efforts to determine if and when the Change in Control transaction is likely to close, and proceeding accordingly. To the extent necessary to implement this Subsection d), each agreement reflecting a Stock Right, and each plan, if any, pursuant to which a Stock Right is issued, if any, shall be deemed amended.
Long-Term Incentive Awards The Executive shall participate in any long-term incentive awards offered to senior executives of the Company, as determined by the Compensation Committee.
Equity-Based Awards (a) Except as set forth in Section 2.04(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the terms of each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Stock under any equity compensation plan of the Company (a “Company Stock Option”), whether or not exercisable or vested, shall be adjusted as necessary to provide that, at the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into an option (each, an “Adjusted Option”) to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, the number of shares of Parent Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Per Share Consideration, with any fractional shares rounded down to the next lower whole number of shares. The exercise price per share of Parent Stock subject to any such Adjusted Option will be an amount (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient of (A) the exercise price per share of Company Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Per Share Consideration, with any fractional cents rounded up to the next higher number of whole cents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the conversion of a Company Stock Option in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 2.04(a) would cause the related Adjusted Option to be treated as the grant of new stock right for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, such Company Stock Option shall not be converted in accordance with the preceding provisions but shall instead be converted in a manner that would not cause the related Adjusted Option to be treated as the grant of new stock right for purposes of Section 409A. Except as set forth in Section 2.04(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, no Company Stock Option shall be subject to accelerated vesting upon or in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. (b) Each restricted stock award or performance share award outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time under any equity compensation plan of the Company (each, a “Company Stock Award”) shall be adjusted as necessary to provide that, at the Effective Time, such Company Stock Award shall be converted into a restricted stock award or performance share award, as applicable, relating to the number of shares of Parent Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Stock relating to such Company Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Per Share Consideration, with any fractional shares rounded down to the next lower whole number of shares. Except as set forth in Section 2.04(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, each converted Company Stock Award shall be subject to the same terms, conditions and restrictions as were applicable under such Company Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Company Stock Award vesting condition contingent on the achievement of specified Company stock targets (“Stock Vesting Targets”) shall be adjusted so that each Stock Vesting Target is equal to the quotient of: (A) the Stock Vesting Target divided by (B) the Per Share Consideration, with any fractional cents rounded up to the next higher number of whole cents. Except as set forth in Section 2.04(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, no Company Stock Award shall be subject to accelerated vesting upon or in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. (c) Parent shall take such actions as are necessary for the assumption of the Company Stock Options pursuant to this Section 2.04, including the reservation, issuance and listing of Parent Stock as is necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.04. Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on an appropriate form, or a post-effective amendment to a registration statement previously filed under the 1933 Act, with respect to the shares of Parent Stock subject to the Company Stock Options and, where applicable, shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable following the Effective Time and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement covering such Company Stock Options (and to maintain the current status of the prospectus contained therein) for so long as any such Company Stock Options remain outstanding. With respect to those individuals, if any, who, subsequent to the Effective Time, will be subject to the reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act, where applicable, Parent shall administer any equity compensation plan of the Company assumed pursuant to this Section 2.04 in a manner that complies with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act to the extent such equity compensation plan of the Company complied with such rule prior to the Merger. (d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, with respect to stock option or compensation plans or arrangements, use its reasonable efforts to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.04.
Piggy-Back Registration Rights (a) The Company shall give the Holder at least 30 days’ prior written notice of each filing by the Company of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). If requested by the Holder in writing within 20 days after receipt of any such notice, the Company shall, at the Company’s sole expense (other than the underwriting discounts, if any, payable in respect of the shares sold by an Holder), register all or, at Holder’s option, any portion of the Holder’s shares of common stock received upon conversion of the Shares (the “Common Stock Shares”) concurrently with the registration of such other securities, all to the extent requisite to permit the public offering and sale of the Common Stock Shares through the securities exchange, if any, on which the Company’s common stock is being sold or on the over-the-counter market, and will use its reasonable best efforts through its officers, directors, auditors, and counsel to cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. If the managing underwriter of any such offering shall determine and advise the Company that, in its opinion, the distribution of all or a portion of the Common Stock Shares requested to be included in the registration concurrently with the securities being registered by the Company would materially adversely affect the distribution of such securities by the Company, then the Company will include in such registration first, the securities that the Company proposes to sell and second, the Common Stock Shares requested to be included in such registration, to the extent permitted by the managing underwriter. (b) In the event of a registration pursuant to these provisions, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Common Stock Shares so registered to be registered or qualified for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Holder may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business in any state by reason of this section in which it is not otherwise required to qualify to do business. (c) The Company shall keep effective any registration or qualification contemplated by this section and shall from time to time amend or supplement each applicable registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, application, document and communication for such period of time as shall be required to permit the Holder to complete the offer and sale of the Common Stock Shares covered thereby. (d) In the event of a registration pursuant to the provisions of this section, the Company shall furnish to the Holder such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case, including all exhibits), of each prospectus contained in such registration statement and each supplement or amendment thereto (including each preliminary prospectus), all of which shall conform to the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and such other documents, as the Holder may reasonably request to facilitate the disposition of the Common Stock Shares included in such registration. (e) The Company shall notify the Holder promptly when such registration statement has become effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed. (f) The Company shall advise the Holder promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued. (g) The Company shall promptly notify the Holder at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the reasonable request of the Holder prepare and furnish to it such number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Common Stock Shares or securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made. The Holder shall suspend all sales of the Common Stock Shares upon receipt of such notice from the Company and shall not re-commence sales until they receive copies of any necessary amendment or supplement to such prospectus, which shall be delivered to the Holder within 30 days of the date of such notice from the Company. (h) If requested by the underwriter for any underwritten offering of Common Stock Shares, the Company and the Holder will enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriter for such offering, which shall be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Company, the Company’s counsel and the Holder’ counsel, and the underwriter, and such agreement shall contain such representations and warranties by the Company and the Holder and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in an underwriting agreement with respect to secondary distributions solely by selling stockholders, including, without limitation, indemnities substantially to the effect and to the extent provided below.
Limitation upon Participant Rights A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.
Participation Rights (a) At least 30 days prior to any Transfer of Stockholder Shares which are shares of Preferred Stock by the GTCR Investors, the GTCR Investors shall deliver a written notice (the "PREFERRED SALE NOTICE") to the Company and the other Stockholders (the "NON-GTCR STOCKHOLDERS") specifying in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective transferee(s) and the terms and conditions of the Transfer. The Non-GTCR Stockholders may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer by delivering written notice to the GTCR Investors within 30 days after delivery of the Preferred Sale Notice. If any Non-GTCR Stockholders have elected to participate in such Transfer, the GTCR Investors and such Non-GTCR Stockholders will be entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms, a number of shares of Preferred Stock equal to the product of (A) the quotient determined by dividing the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned by such Person by the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock owned by the GTCR Investors and the Non-GTCR Stockholders participating in such sale and (B) the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be sold in the contemplated Transfer. (b) At least 30 days prior to any Transfer of Stockholder Shares which are shares of Common Stock by the GTCR Investors, the Bajaj Group or the Xxxxxxxxxx Group (collectively, the "SUBJECT STOCKHOLDERS"), the Subject Stockholder proposing to make such Transfer shall deliver a written notice (the "COMMON SALE NOTICE") to the Company and the other Stockholders (collectively, the "NON-SUBJECT STOCKHOLDERS") specifying in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective transferee(s) and the terms and conditions of the Transfer. The Non-Subject Stockholders may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer by delivering written notice to the Subject Stockholders within 30 days after delivery of the Common Sale Notice. If any Non-Subject Stockholders have elected to participate in such Transfer, the Subject Stockholders and such Non-Subject Stockholders will be entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the quotient determined by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Person by the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock owned by the Subject Stockholders and the Non-Subject Stockholders participating in such sale, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold in the contemplated Transfer. For purposes of this SECTION 4(b), if a holder of shares of Class B Preferred elects to participate in the contemplated Transfer, (x) the "number of shares of Common Stock owned" by such holder shall equal the quotient determined by dividing (1) the aggregate liquidation value of the shares of Class B Preferred then owned by such holder (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon), by (2) 81.667% of the consideration per share of Common Stock to be paid to the Subject Stockholders by the prospective transferee(s) in the contemplated Transfer, and (y) "the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock" shall include the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such holder as calculated pursuant to clause (x) above. (i) The GTCR Investors will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the prospective transferee(s) to the participation of the Non-GTCR Stockholders in any Transfer contemplated by Section 4(a), and the GTCR Investors will not transfer any of their Stockholder Shares to the prospective transferee(s) unless (A) the prospective transferee(s) agrees to allow the participation of the Non-GTCR Stockholders at the same price and on the same terms, or (B) the GTCR Investors agree to purchase the number of such class of Stockholder Shares from the Non-GTCR Stockholders which the Non-GTCR Stockholders would have been entitled to sell pursuant to SECTION 4(a) for the consideration per share to be paid to the GTCR Investors by the prospective transferee(s). (ii) The Subject Stockholders will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the prospective transferee(s) to the participation of the Non-Subject Stockholders in any Transfer contemplated by Section 4(b), and the Subject Stockholders will not transfer any of their Stockholder Shares to the prospective transferee(s) unless (A) the prospective transferee(s) agrees to allow the participation of the Non-Subject Stockholders at the same price and on the same terms, or (B) the Subject Stockholders agree to purchase the number of such class of Stockholder Shares from the Non-Subject Stockholders which the Non-Subject Stockholders would have been entitled to sell pursuant to SECTION 4(b) for the consideration per share to be paid to the Subject Stockholders by the prospective transferee(s). (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other provision of this Agreement, this SECTION 4 shall not apply with respect to (i) any Transfer of Stockholder Shares by any GTCR Investor to or among its Affiliates, (ii) an Exempt Bajaj Transfer, (iii) an Exempt Xxxxxxxxxx Transfer, or (iv) a Public Sale; provided that the restrictions contained in this Agreement will continue to be applicable to the Stockholder Shares after any Transfer pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) and, as a condition to such Transfer, the transferee of such Stockholder Shares shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. Upon the Transfer of Stockholder Shares pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the previous sentence, the transferees will deliver a written notice to the Company, which notice will disclose in reasonable detail the identity of such transferee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party hereto shall avoid the provisions of this Agreement by making one or more Transfers to one or more Affiliates and then disposing of all or any portion of such party's interest in any such Affiliate. (e) This Section 4 will terminate upon the first to occur of (i) the consummation of an Approved Sale and (ii) the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.
