Without limiting clause (c), any financial institution or business whose profits or revenues from the provision of services or products to the Prohibited Companies exceeds 25% of total profits or revenues, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be covered by clause (c). For Participants whose primary place of employment as of the Last Day of Employment is in Puerto Rico or Arizona, the restrictions in this Section 2.2 shall be limited to one (1) year following Participant’s Last Day of Employment. The restrictions in this Section 2.2 shall not apply if Participant’s primary place of employment as of the Last Day of Employment is in California or North Dakota; provided, however, to the extent permitted under such states’ laws, Company nevertheless retains all rights and remedies set forth in Sections 2.8 and 2.9 in lieu of enforcing the restrictive covenant set forth in this Section 2.2.

All other covenants contained in this Section 2 shall apply to Participant notwithstanding any covenants or other terms contained in any other agreement.

  • Termination of Right of First Offer Subject to the following provisions of this Section C, the rights of Tenant hereunder with respect to the Offering Space shall terminate on the earlier to occur of: (i) Tenant’s failure to exercise its Right of First Offer within the seven (7)-day period provided in Section A above; and (iii) the date Landlord would have provided Tenant an ROFO Advice if Tenant had not been in violation of one or more of the conditions set forth in Section A above. If Tenant does not timely exercise its Right of First Offer pursuant to this Section VII, Tenant shall have no further right to lease the Offering Space pursuant to this Section VII, except that (x) before Landlord makes or accepts an offer to lease such Offering Space to a bona fide prospect at an Annual Fixed Rent less than 95% of that set forth in the most recently delivered ROFO Advice or (y) if Landlord has not entered into a lease for such Offering Space within three (3) months after the date (the “Refusal Date”) on which Tenant elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to exercise its right to lease such Offering Space pursuant to the most recently delivered ROFO Advice, then, in either such case, Landlord shall again offer to lease such Offering Space to Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Section VII, and the terms of this Section VII shall continue to apply to such Offering Space, except that Tenant shall have three (3) Business Days to respond to such offer in the event of a re-offer pursuant to clause (x) above (but Tenant shall have seven (7) days to respond to any re-offer pursuant to clause (y) above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after any applicable Refusal Date, Landlord enters into a letter of intent to lease such Offering Space and gives Tenant written notice thereof identifying the other party to such letter of intent (the “Deal Notice”), then Landlord shall have one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the Deal Notice to enter into a lease with the bona fide prospect identified in the Deal Notice before Tenant’s Right of First Offer with respect to such Offering Space shall re-accrue under clause (y) above (but this shall not affect any potential re-accrual of such right under clause (x) above). After Landlord has leased the Offering Space to a third party in accordance with the provisions of this Section VII, Tenant shall have no further right to lease such Offering Space pursuant to this Section VII.

Automated Quotation System or equivalent non-U.S. securities exchange, (B) the Executive is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such entity and (C) the Executive does not, directly or indirectly, own two percent (2%) or more of any class of securities of such entity; (iii) the Executive may own or participate in the ownership of the Second City private equity funds including Second City Capital Partners II, Limited Partnership, Second City Real Estate II, Limited Partnership, SC Principals Limited Partnership as well as their respective general partners, related companies and future Second City fund vehicle, which ownership, management or participation has been disclosed to the Board; and (iv) the Executive may, directly or indirectly, invest in commercial real estate or other assets so long as they are not Suitable Properties (as defined in Section 15(a)), and the Executive may own or participate in the ownership of Suitable Properties if such opportunity has been first provided to the Company and the Company has declined to acquire it in writing, providing that such ownership, management or participation has been disclosed to the Board. Further, the covenant against competition described herein shall not apply to the Executive with respect to any business or venture that competes with a New Business to the extent that the Executive’s actions or participation occurred before the Company became engaged in the New Business.

  • Assignment of Right of First Refusal The Company shall have the right to assign the Right of First Refusal at any time, whether or not there has been an attempted transfer, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company.

  • Right of First Offer Provided that no Event of Default has occurred under the Lease, Landlord hereby grants Tenant a right (“First Right”) to lease, during the initial Extended Term each of (i) approximately 23,455 rentable square feet of office space known as Suite No. 100, and/or (ii) approximately 18,351 rentable square feet of office space known as Suite No. 150 in the building located at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxx Drive, San Diego, California and shown on Exhibit A hereto (each, “First Right Space”) in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Section; provided that this First Right shall cease to be effective during the final 12 months of the Extended Term unless and until Tenant exercises its extension option set forth in Section VIII.C above (or is then negotiating alternate terms for the extension of the Lease). Except as otherwise provided below, prior to leasing each First Right Space, or any portion thereof, to any other party during the period that this First Right is in effect and after determining that the existing tenant in the applicable First Right Space will not extend or renew the term of its lease, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the basic economic terms including but not limited to the Basic Rent, term, operating expense base, security deposit, and tenant improvement allowance (collectively, the “Economic Terms”), upon which Landlord is willing to lease such particular First Right Space to Tenant or to a third party; provided that the Economic Terms shall exclude brokerage commissions and other Landlord payments that do not directly inure to the tenant’s benefit. Further, if the First Right is exercised by Tenant during the first eighteen (18) months of the Extended Term, Tenant shall not be required to provide any security deposit if (i) Tenant is not then otherwise required to provide any security deposit with respect to the then current Premises, and (ii) Tenant’s net worth at the time the First Right is exercised is not less than 90% of its net worth as of the date hereof. If Tenant exercises any First Right during the initial 18 months of the Extended Term, the term for the applicable First Right Space shall be for a term equal to the then unexpired portion of the Term of the Lease and the Economic Terms shall be upon the same economic terms as the original Premises leased hereunder (including without limitation, the applicable Monthly Rate per square foot as set forth in Section II above). If Landlord intends to lease other office space in addition to the First Right Space as part of a single transaction, then Landlord’s notice shall so provide and all such space shall collectively be subject to the provisions of this Section VIII.D. Within 5 business days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, Tenant must give Landlord written notice pursuant to which Tenant shall elect to (i) lease all, but not less than all, of the space specified in Landlord’s notice (the “Designated Space”) upon such Economic Terms and the same non-Economic Terms as set forth in this Lease; (ii) refuse to lease the Designated Space, specifying that such refusal is not based upon the Economic Terms, but upon Tenant’s lack of need for the Designated Space, in which event Landlord may lease the Designated Space upon any terms it deems appropriate; or (iii) refuse to lease the Designated Space, specifying that such refusal is based upon said Economic Terms, in which event Tenant shall also specify revised Economic Terms upon which Tenant shall be willing to lease the Designated Space. In the event that Tenant does not so respond in writing to Landlord’s notice within said period, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected clause (ii) above. In the event Tenant gives Landlord notice pursuant to clause (iii) above, Landlord may elect to either (x) lease the Designated Space to Tenant upon such revised Economic Terms and the same other non-Economic Terms as set forth in this Lease, or (y) lease the Designated Space to any third party upon Economic Terms which are not materially more favorable to such party than those Economic Terms proposed by Tenant. Should Landlord so elect to lease the Designated Space to Tenant (or if Tenant exercises its right under Section VIII.D(i) above), then Landlord shall promptly prepare and deliver to Tenant an amendment to this Lease consistent with the foregoing, and Tenant shall execute and return same to Landlord within 10 days. If either Tenant or Landlord fails to timely deliver such amendment the other party may specifically enforce their respective rights hereunder, and/or to pursue any other available legal remedy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that Tenant’s First Right shall be subject to those certain extension or expansion rights previously granted by Landlord to any third party tenant in the Building, and Landlord shall in no event be obligated to initiate this First Right prior to leasing any portion of the First Right Space to the then-current occupant thereof. Tenant’s rights under this Section shall be personal to the original Tenant named in this Lease and may not be assigned or transferred (except in connection with a Permitted Transfer of this Lease as described in Section 9.4 of the Lease). Any other attempted assignment or transfer shall be void and of no force or effect. Tenant’s election not to lease any Designated Space relating to one First Right Space shall not waive, limit, alter, or impair Tenant’s First Right with respect to the other First Right Space.

  • Transfer of Rights of First Refusal The rights of first refusal of each Major Investor under this Section 4 may be transferred to the same parties, subject to the same restrictions as any transfer of registration rights pursuant to Section 2.10.

  • Rights of First Refusal The Company is not obligated to offer the securities offered hereunder on a right of first refusal basis or otherwise to any third parties including, but not limited to, current or former stockholders of the Company, underwriters, brokers, agents or other third parties.
