First Participation Notice In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions), it shall give to each Participation Rights Holder written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the “First Participation Notice”), describing the amount and type of New Securities, the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities. Each Participation Rights Holder shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of any such First Participation Notice to agree in writing to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the First Participation Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share). If any Participation Rights Holder fails to so agree in writing within such fifteen (15) day period to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s full Pro Rata Share of an offering of New Securities, then such Participation Rights Holder shall forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that part of its Pro Rata Share of such New Securities that it did not agree to purchase.
Assignment; Participation All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by any holder of notes executed hereunder. The Bank may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents, including any portion of any note evidencing the Obligations, to any of the twelve (12) Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 341. No such pledge or assignment or enforcement thereof shall release the Bank from its obligations under any of the Loan Documents. The Bank shall have the unrestricted right at any time or from time to time, and without the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s consent, to assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each an “Assignee”), and the Borrower and each Guarantor agree that it shall execute such documents, including without limitation, amendments to this Agreement and to any other Loan Documents, as the Bank shall deem necessary to effect the foregoing. In addition, at the request of the Bank and any such Assignee, the Borrower shall issue one or more new promissory notes, as applicable, to any such Assignee and, if the Bank has retained any of its rights and obligations hereunder following such assignment, to the Bank, which new promissory notes shall be issued in replacement of, but not in discharge of, the liability evidenced by the promissory note held by the Bank prior to such assignment and shall reflect the amount of the respective commitments and loans held by such Assignee and the Bank after giving effect to such assignment. Upon the execution and delivery of appropriate assignment documentation, amendments, and any other documentation required by the Bank in connection with such assignment, and the payment by such Assignee of the purchase price agreed to by the Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and shall have all of the rights and obligations of the Bank hereunder (and under any and all of the other Loan Documents) to the extent that such rights and obligations have been assigned by the Bank pursuant to the assignment documentation between the Bank and such Assignee, and the Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder and thereunder to a corresponding extent. The Bank shall have the unrestricted right at any time and from time to time, and without the consent of or notice to the Borrower or any Guarantor, to grant to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the Bank’s obligation to lend hereunder and/or any or all of the Obligations. In the event of any such grant by the Bank of a participating interest to Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower, the Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder and the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Bank in connection with the Bank’s rights and obligations hereunder. The Bank may furnish any information concerning the Borrower in its possession from time to time to prospective Assignees and Participants, provided that the Bank shall require any such prospective Assignee or Participant to agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
Second Participation Notice; Oversubscription If any Participation Rights Holder fails or declines to fully exercise its Right of Participation in accordance with Section 3.02 above, the Company shall promptly (but no later than three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the First Participation Period) give notice (the “Second Participation Notice”) to other Participation Rights Holders who have fully exercised their Right of Participation (the “Fully Participating Investors”) in accordance with Section 3.02 above, which notice shall set forth the number of the New Securities not purchased by the other Participation Rights Holders pursuant to Section 3.02 above (such shares, the “Overallotment New Securities”). Each Fully Participating Investor shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of the Second Participation Notice (the “Second Participation Period”) to notify the Company of its desire to purchase more than its Pro Rata Share of the New Securities, stating the number of the additional New Securities it proposes to buy (the “Additional Number”). Such notice may be made by telephone if confirmed in writing within two (2) Business Days thereafter. If, as a result thereof, the total number of additional New Securities the Fully Participating Investors (the “Oversubscribing Fully Participating Investors”) propose to buy exceeds the total number of the Overallotment New Securities, the number each such Oversubscribing Fully Participating Investor is entitled to subscribe will equal to the lesser of (x) its Additional Number and (y) the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the Overallotment New Securities available for subscription by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of the Ordinary Shares into which the then outstanding Senior Preferred Shares held by such Oversubscribing Fully Participating Investor are convertible (calculated on an as-converted basis) and the denominator of which is the total number of the Ordinary Shares into which the then outstanding Senior Preferred Shares held by all the Oversubscribing Fully Participating Investors are convertible (calculated on an as-converted basis).
Consent to Loan Participation Borrower agrees and consents to Lender’s sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation interests in the Loan to one or more purchasers, whether related or unrelated to Lender. Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever, to any one or more purchasers, or potential purchasers, any information or knowledge Lender may have about Borrower or about any other matter relating to the Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy Borrower may have with respect to such matters. Borrower additionally waives any and all notices of sale of participation interests, as well as all notices of any repurchase of such participation interests. Borrower also agrees that the purchasers of any such participation interests will be considered as the absolute owners of such interests in the Loan and will have all the rights granted under the participation agreement or agreements governing the sale of such participation interests. Borrower further waives all rights of offset or counterclaim that it may have now or later against Lender or against any purchaser of such a participation interest and unconditionally agrees that either Lender or such purchaser may enforce Borrower’s obligation under the Loan irrespective of the failure or insolvency of any holder of any interest in the Loan. Borrower further agrees that the purchaser of any such participation interests may enforce its interests irrespective of any personal claims or defenses that Borrower may have against Lender.
