Agreement not to Participate in Company’s Competitors During Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive agrees not to acquire, assume or participate in, directly or indirectly, any position, investment or interest known by Executive to be adverse or antagonistic to the Company, its business, or prospects, financial or otherwise, or in any company, person, or entity that is, directly or indirectly, in competition with the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates (as defined below). Ownership by Executive, in professionally managed funds over which the Executive does not have control or discretion in investment decisions, or as a passive investment, of less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any corporation with one or more classes of its capital stock listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this Section. For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate,” means, with respect to any specific entity, any other entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such specified entity.
Right to Participate The indemnified party agrees to afford the indemnifying party and its counsel the opportunity to be present at, and to participate in, conferences with all persons, including Governmental Authorities, asserting any Indemnity Claim against the indemnified party or conferences with representatives of or counsel for such persons.
Right to Participate in Defense Without limiting Section 10.3.2(a), any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party's own expense unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying Party in writing or (ii) the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 10.3.2(a) (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense).
ELECTION NOT TO PARTICIPATE If the Employer's Plan is a Standardized Plan, the Plan does not permit an otherwise eligible Employee nor any Participant to elect not to participate in the Plan. If the Employer's Plan is a Nonstandardized Plan, the Employer must specify in its Adoption Agreement whether an Employee eligible to participate, or any present Participant, may elect not to participate in the Plan. For an election to be effective for a particular Plan Year, the Employee or Participant must file the election in writing with the Plan Administrator not later than the time specified in the Employer's Adoption Agreement. The Employer may not make a contribution under the Plan for the Employee or for the Participant for the Plan Year for which the election is effective, nor for any succeeding Plan Year, unless the Employee or Participant re-elects to participate in the Plan. After an Employee's or Participant's election not to participate has been effective for at least the minimum period prescribed by the Employer's Adoption Agreement, the Employee or Participant may re-elect to participate in the Plan for any Plan Year and subsequent Plan Years. An Employee or Participant may re-elect to participate in the Plan by filing his election in writing with the Plan Administrator not later than the time specified in the Employer's Adoption Agreement. An Employee or Participant who re-elects to participate may again elect not to participate only as permitted in the Employer's Adoption Agreement. If an Employee is a Self-Employed Individual, the Employee's election (except as permitted by Treasury regulations without creating a Code Section 401(k) arrangement with respect to that Self-Employed Individual) must be effective no later than the date the Employee first would become a Participant in the Plan and the election is irrevocable. The Plan Administrator must furnish an Employee or a Participant any form required for purposes of an election under this Section 2.06. An election timely filed is effective for the entire Plan Year.
Election to Participate Within 15 business days after delivery of the Participation Notice, each Capital Partner desiring to accept the offer pursuant to Section 6.2.2 shall send an irrevocable commitment (each a “Participation Commitment”) to the Partnership specifying the amount or proportion of Securities which such Capital Partner desires to be issued (each a “Participating Buyer”). The acceptance of each Participating Buyer shall be irrevocable except as hereinafter provided and so long as the terms and conditions applicable to the Pre-Emptive Issuance remain as stated in the Participation Notice, each such Participating Buyer shall be obligated to acquire in the Pre-Emptive Issuance on the same terms and conditions, with respect to each Security issued, as the Pre-Emptive Transferees such amount or proportion of Securities as such Participating Buyer shall have specified in such Participating Buyer’s Participation Commitment. Each Capital Partner that does not accept such offer shall be deemed to have waived all of such holder’s rights under this Article VI with respect to the Pre-Emptive Issuance specified in the Participation Notice, and the Partnership shall thereafter be free to issue Securities in such Pre-Emptive Issuance to the Pre-Emptive Transferees and any Participating Buyers, at a price not less than the price set forth in the Participation Notice and on other terms not materially more favorable in the aggregate, to the Pre-Emptive Transferees and any Participating Buyers than those set forth in the Participation Notice. If the principal terms of such proposed Pre-Emptive Issuance change such that they are more materially favorable in the aggregate to the Participating Buyers than those set forth in the Participation Notice, it shall be necessary for a separate Participation Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Article VI separately complied with, in order to consummate such Pre-Emptive Issuance. In the event a Capital Partner breaches its obligation to purchase such Securities after delivering a Participating Commitment, such Capital Partner shall be deemed to have waived all of such holder’s rights under this Article VI with respect to such Pre-Emptive Issuance and all future Pre-Emptive Issuances.
