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.
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.
