No Participation in Management No Limited Partner (other than a General Partner if it has acquired an interest of a Limited Partner) shall take part in the management of the Partnership’s business, transact any business in the Partnership’s name or have the power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the Partnership.
No Rights of Participation No person or entity, including, but not limited to, current or former stockholders of the Company, underwriters, brokers, agents or other third parties, has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the financing contemplated by this Agreement which has not been waived.
Right of Participation At any time within the 12 months subsequent to the Closing, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of debt or Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration, indebtedness or a combination of units thereof (a “Subsequent Financing”), the Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to its investment amount but not more than 25% of the Subsequent Financing (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing. At least five (5) Business 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 the 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) Business 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. A Subsequent Financing shall exclude any equipment financing secured by a purchase money security interest If the Purchaser desires 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) Business Day after the Purchaser has received 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 from the Purchaser as of such fifth (5th) Business Day, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate. If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Purchaser have received the Pre-Notice, notifications by the Purchaser of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate) is, 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. If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Purchaser has received the Pre-Notice, the Company receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Purchaser seeking to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, the Purchaser shall have the right to purchase its pro rata portion of the Participation Maximum. The Company must provide the Purchaser with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchaser will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 4.15, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within thirty (30) Business Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice. The Company and the Purchaser agree that if the Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision whereby such Purchaser shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the Securities purchased hereunder or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15and unless otherwise agreed to by the Purchaser, the Company shall either confirm in writing to the Purchaser that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that the Purchaser will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the tenth (10th) Business Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by such tenth (10th) Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by the Purchaser, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Purchaser shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any Subsequent Financing.
Participations Generally Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities, other than an Ineligible Institution, (a “Participant”), in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment, Swingline Exposure and the Revolving Credit Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the second sentence of Section 12.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.8 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Credit Loans, Letters of Credit or other obligations under the Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Credit Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Credit Loan, Letters of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
Lender Participations (a) Although any Lender may grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer by novation its rights and obligations or assign its rights under all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.12 and 13.01) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; and
Acquisition of Participations Upon any Issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement resulting in any increase in the Letter of Credit Obligations, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit and the related Letter of Credit Obligations in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit Obligations.
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 thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.
Participation Rights At least 20 days prior to any Transfer, in any one transaction or series of related transactions, by a holder of Class A Unit, Class B Units or Class C Units, of any Units (other than one or more Transfers (i) pursuant to a transaction pursuant to Section 10.3 or Section 15.7, (ii) to any Affiliate of the Investors or Contributors, as applicable, (iii) which are Exempt Transfers or (iv) to any current or former officer, employee, manager, director, member, partner or co-investor of the Investors or any of their Affiliates), such holder of Class A Units, Class B Units and/or Class C Units (the “Transferring Unitholder”) shall deliver a written notice (the “Sale Notice”) to the LLC and to each of the other Unitholders (the “Other Unitholders”), specifying in reasonable detail the number and class of Units to be Transferred and the terms and conditions of the contemplated Transfer. The Other Unitholders holding the same class or series of Units (with the Class A Units, Class B Units, Class C Units and Class D Units each being treated as a separate class or series for purposes of this Section 10.2) may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer by delivering written notice to the Transferring Unitholder within 20 days after delivery of the Sale Notice (such Unitholders delivering such notice of election in accordance with this Section 10.2, collectively, the “Electing Unitholders”). Such participation shall be based upon the Pro Rata Share represented by the Units requested to be included in such Transfer by each Unitholder relative to the Pro Rata Share of all Units of such class or series held by the Unitholders participating in such Transfer (including the Transferring Unitholder). Each Electing Unitholder shall Transfer his, her or its Units on the same terms and conditions, with the aggregate consideration to be paid in connection with such Transfer allocated among each Unit included therein based on such Unit’s Pro Rata Share, determined based upon the Total Equity Value Proceeds implied by the price offered in the Sale Notice; provided that in the event that Units being transferred by the Transferring Unitholder are comprised solely of Class A Units or Class B Units, the aggregate consideration to be paid in connection with such Transfer shall be allocated based on the proportionate Class A Unreturned Capital and Class A Unpaid Yield, or Class B Unreturned Capital and Class B Unpaid Yield, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if the Transferring Unitholder intends to Transfer Units of more than one class or series, each of the Other Unitholders electing to participate must participate in all such Transfers (to the extent such Other Unitholders hold such other class or series), (B) if such Transfer constitutes a Sale of the LLC, the Class D Units shall be deemed to be the same class of Units as the Class C Units for the purpose of this Section 10.2, and (C) in no event shall any Unitholder be entitled to Transfer any unvested Management Incentive Units pursuant this Section 10.2.
Sub-participation A Lender may sub-participate all or any part of its rights and/or obligations under the Security Documents at its own expense without the consent of, consultation with or notice to, the Borrowers.
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.
