As such, the language used herein and therein shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party to this Agreement.
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.
Reimbursement and Participations (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank immediately on demand at the Principal Office all amounts required to pay all drafts drawn or purporting to be drawn under the Letters of Credit and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the Letters of Credit, and in any event and without demand to place in possession of the Issuing Bank (which shall include Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility if permitted by SECTION 2.1 and Swing Line Loans if permitted by SECTION 2.4) sufficient funds to pay all debts and liabilities arising under any Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank agrees to give the Borrower prompt notice of any request for a draw under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank may charge any account the Borrower may have with it for any and all amounts the Issuing Bank pays under a Letter of Credit, plus charges and reasonable expenses as from time to time agreed to by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower; provided that to the extent permitted by SECTION 2.1(c)(iii) and SECTION 2.4, amounts shall be paid pursuant to Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility or, if the Borrower shall elect, by Swing Line Loans. The Borrower agrees to pay the Issuing Bank interest on any Reimbursement Obligations not paid when due hereunder at the Default Rate.
Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit Immediately upon the issuance by the Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the liability of the Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit and each Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to the Issuing Lender to pay and discharge when due, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Issuing Lender’s liability under such Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Lender to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.3(j), such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to the Issuing Lender by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.6(b)(ii)).
Termination Indemnities The value of the RSUs is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of your employment contract, if any. As such, the RSUs 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 to which you may be otherwise entitled.
Reimbursement; Participations (a) If Issuing Bank honors any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to Issuing Bank, on the same day (“Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for Base Rate Revolver Loans from the Reimbursement Date until payment by Borrowers. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank for any payment made under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrowers may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not Borrower Agent submits a Notice of Borrowing, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolver Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due Issuing Bank on any Reimbursement Date and each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any shareholder litigation against the Company and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and no such litigation shall be settled without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Assignment; Participation This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, Borrower, Administrative Agent, the Banks and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder.

In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a Participation to a Participant, whether or not Borrower or Administrative Agent was given notice, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Borrower and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations hereunder. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant a Participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan Document including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in Section 12.02 without the consent of the Participant. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.14, any Bank having a Loan Commitment in an amount equal to or exceeding Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) may at any time assign to any bank or other institution, with the acknowledgment of Administrative Agent and the consent of Fleet, PNC and, provided there exists no Event of Default, of Borrower, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (such assignee, a "Consented Assignee"), or to one or more banks or other institutions which are majority owned subsidiaries of a Bank or to the Parent of a Bank (each Consented Assignee or subsidiary bank or institution, an
Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations Each Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Advances or Participation Advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of Borrowers to reimburse Agent upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.16 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:
Participations and Assignments (a) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Persons that extends secured commercial loans in its ordinary course of business and has assets or capital of at least $100,000,000 (other than (i) a natural person or (ii) any Defaulting Lender or its wholly-owned subsidiaries or its other Affiliates) (any such Person, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans and also such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan, with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower (all of which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall not be required for an assignment by a Lender to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender). Except as Administrative Agent may otherwise agree (and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), any such assignment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or, if less, the remaining Loan held by the assigning Lender. Borrower and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until Administrative Agent shall have received and accepted an effective assignment agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (an “Assignment Agreement”) executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000). No assignment may be made to any Person if at the time of such assignment Borrower would be obligated to pay any greater amount under Sections 3.1 or 3.3 to the Assignee than Borrower is then obligated to pay to the assigning Lender under such Sections (and if any assignment is made in violation of the foregoing, Borrower will not be required to pay such greater amounts). Any attempted assignment not made in accordance with this Section 12.15 shall be treated as the sale of a participation hereunder. Borrower shall be deemed to have granted its consent to any assignment requiring its consent hereunder unless Borrower has expressly objected to such assignment within three (3) Business Days after notice thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no consent of Borrower or Administrative Agent shall be required for any assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (provided that no assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or its wholly-owned subsidiaries or its other Affiliates) and (y) the consent of each Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).
