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.

Participation Right For so long as this Warrant is outstanding by a Qualified Holder, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, issue, offer, sell, grant any option or right to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any issuance, offer, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other disposition of) any equity security or any equity-linked or related security (including, without limitation, any “equity security” (as that term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the 1933 Act)), any Convertible Securities (as defined below), any debt, any preferred shares or any purchase rights (any such issuance, offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement is referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”) unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 5. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the right set forth in this Section 5 is a right granted by the Company, separately, to each Qualified Holder.
a) At least five (5) Trading Days prior to any proposed or intended Subsequent Placement, the Company shall deliver to each Qualified Holder a written notice (each such notice, a “Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall not contain any information (including, without limitation, material, non-public information) other than: (A) if the proposed Offer Notice (as defined below) constitutes or contains material, non-public information, a statement asking whether the Investor is willing to accept material non-public information or (B) if the proposed Offer Notice does not constitute or contain material, non-public information, (x) a statement that the Company proposes or intends to effect a Subsequent Placement, (y) a statement that the statement in clause (x) above does not constitute material, non-public information and (z) a statement informing such Qualified Holder that it is entitled to receive an Offer Notice (as defined below) with respect to such Subsequent Placement upon its written request. Upon the written request of a Qualified Holder within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s delivery to such Qualified Holder of such Pre-Notice, and only upon a written request by such Qualified Holder, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver to such Qualified Holder an irrevocable written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “Offer”) of the securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (A) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (B) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (C) identify the Persons (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (D) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Qualified Holder in accordance with the terms of the Offer such Qualified Holder’s pro rata portion of 30% of the Offered Securities, provided that the number of Offered Securities which such Qualified Holder shall have the right to subscribe for under this Section 5 shall be (x) based on such Qualified Holder’s pro rata portion of the aggregate number of Purchased Shares purchased hereunder by all Qualified Holders (the “Basic Amount”), and (y) with respect to each Qualified Holder that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Qualified Holders as such Qualified Holder shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Qualified Holders subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”), which process shall be repeated until each Qualified Holder shall have an opportunity to subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription Amount.
b) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Qualified Holder must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Qualified Holder’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of such Qualified Holder’s Basic Amount that such Qualified Holder elects to purchase and, if such Qualified Holder shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Qualified Holder elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Qualified Holders are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Qualified Holder who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Qualified Holder who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Qualified Holder bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Qualified Holders that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Company to the extent it deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company may deliver to each Qualified Holder a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Qualified Holder’s receipt of such new Offer Notice.
c) The Company shall have five (5) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above (A) to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by a Qualified Holder (the “Refused Securities”) pursuant to a definitive agreement(s) (the “Subsequent Placement Agreement”), but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice and (B) to publicly announce (x) the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, and (y) either (I) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (II) the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with the SEC on a Report on Form 6-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.
d) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 5(c) above), then each Qualified Holder may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such Qualified Holder elected to purchase pursuant to Section 5(b) above multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Qualified Holders pursuant to this Section 5 prior to such reduction) and (B) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Qualified Holder so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Qualified Holders in accordance with Section 5(a) above.
e) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, such Qualified Holder shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to such Qualified Holder, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 5(d) above if such Qualified Holder has so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by such Qualified Holder of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and such Qualified Holder of a separate purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such Qualified Holder and its counsel.
f) Any Offered Securities not acquired by a Qualified Holder or other Persons in accordance with this Section 5 may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to such Qualified Holder under the procedures specified in this Agreement.
g) The Company and each Qualified Holder agree that if any Qualified Holder elects to participate in the Offer, neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the “Subsequent Placement Documents”) shall include any term or provision whereby such Qualified Holder shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any securities of the Company or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, any agreement previously entered into with the Company or any instrument received from the Company.
h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5 and unless otherwise agreed to by such Qualified Holder, the Company shall either confirm in writing to such Qualified Holder that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case, in such a manner such that such Qualified Holder will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the fifth (5th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice. If by such fifth (5th) Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Qualified Holder, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Qualified Holder shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities, the Company shall provide such Qualified Holder with another Offer Notice and such Qualified Holder will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section 5. The Company shall not be permitted to deliver more than one such Offer Notice to such Qualified Holder in any sixty (60) day period, except as expressly contemplated by the last sentence of Section 5(b).
i) The restrictions contained in this Section 5 shall not apply in connection with the issuance of any Exempt Issuance. The Company shall not circumvent the provisions of this Section 5 by providing terms or conditions to one Qualified Holder that are not provided to all Qualified Holders.
Right of Participation (a) In addition, for a period commencing on the Closing Date and terminating on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company agrees not to participate in any offer or sale of equity or debt securities (a “Subsequent Financing”) without offering to the Purchasers the opportunity to purchase up to a minimum of 35% of the securities offered in such Subsequent Financing (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.
(b) At least five (5) Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). Upon the request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Purchaser. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an attachment.
(c) Any Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such Purchaser’s receipt of the Pre-Notice, that such Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of such Purchaser’s participation, and representing and warranting that such Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Company receives no such notice from a Purchaser as of such fifth (5th) Trading Day, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate.
(d) If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, notifications by the Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate) cover, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.
(e) If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, the Company receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Purchasers seeking to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each such Purchaser shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum. “Pro Rata Portion” means the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Securities purchased on the Closing Date by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.10 and (y) the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased on the Closing Date by all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.10 plus the aggregate subscription amounts of investors that acquire Preferred Shares for Exchange Securities that are participating in such Subsequent Financing pursuant to participation rights granted to such investors under such agreements that are substantially similar to this Section 4.10.
Purchase of Participations Immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.3(d), each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the face amount of such Letter of Credit in connection with the issuance or acceptance of such Letter of Credit (including all obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto).
Equity Participation This Warrant is issued in connection with the Loan Agreement. It is intended that this Warrant constitute an equity participation under and pursuant to T.C.A. '47-24-101, et seq. and that equity participation be permitted under saxx xxxxxxes and not constitute interest on the Note. If under any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any obligation of this Warrant, the Loan Agreement, or any other agreement or document executed in connection with the Loan Agreement, shall violate the lawful limit of any applicable usury statute or any other applicable law with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to such lawful limit, such that in no event shall there occur, under this Warrant, the Loan Agreement, or any other document or instrument executed in connection with the Loan Agreement, any violation of such lawful limit, but such obligation shall be fulfilled to the lawful limit. If any sum is collected in excess of the lawful limit, such excess shall be applied to reduce the principal amount of the Note.
L/C Participations (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower through a Revolving Credit Loan or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.
(b) Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify each L/C Participant of the amount and due date of such required payment and such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender the amount specified on the applicable due date. If any such amount is paid to the Issuing Lender after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand, in addition to such amount, the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Issuing Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. With respect to payment to the Issuing Lender of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section, if the L/C Participants receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day.

Company Participation Subject to Section B.5, the Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement with regard to any judicial action if the Company was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense, conduct and/or settlement of such action.
Repayment of Participations (i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.
(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Voluntary Participation The Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the Restricted Stock Units is an extraordinary item of compensation. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a separate agreement between the Grantee and the Company or a Subsidiary, the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.
