Participation Rights No HIG Stockholder may make a Transfer of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to clause (a)(iv) of Section 2.1 unless such HIG Stockholder complies with the provisions of this Section 2.3. The transferring HIG Stockholder (the “Transferring Stockholder”) shall deliver a written notice (the “Offer Notice”) to the Company and to each Sankaty Stockholder that holds Series C Preferred Stock. The Offer Notice will disclose in reasonable detail the proposed number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be transferred, the proposed price, terms and conditions of the Transfer and the identity of the transferee. Each of the Sankaty Stockholders holding Series C Preferred Stock may elect to participate in the contemplated sale by delivering written notice to the Transferring Stockholder within 10 days after receipt of the Offer Notice. If any of such Sankaty Stockholders elects to participate in such sale (the “Participating Stockholders”), each of the Transferring Stockholder and the Participating Stockholders will be entitled to sell in the contemplated sale a number of shares of Preferred Stock equal to the product of (i) the fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by such Person, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Series C Preferred Stock owned by the Transferring Stockholder and the Participating Stockholders, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be sold by the Transferring Stockholder and the Participating Stockholders in the contemplated sale. As a condition to any Transfer by the Transferring Stockholder, the Transferring Stockholder must obtain the agreement of the prospective transferee(s) to the participation of all Participating Stockholders in any contemplated sale and will not transfer any of its Securities to the prospective transferee(s) if the prospective transferee(s) declines to allow the participation of the Participating Stockholders on the terms specified herein.
DETERMINATION OF DBE PARTICIPATION A firm must be an eligible DBE and perform a professional or technical function relating to the project. Once a firm is determined to be an eligible DBE, the total amount paid to the DBE for work performed with his/her own forces is counted toward the DBE goal. When a DBE subcontracts part of the work of its contract to another firm, the value of the subcontracted work may be counted toward DBE goals only if the subprovider is itself a DBE. Work that a DBE subcontracts to a non-DBE firm does not count toward DBE goals. A DBE subprovider may subcontract no more than 70% of a federal aid contract. The DBE subprovider shall perform not less than 30% of the value of the contract work with assistance of employees employed and paid directly by the DBE; and equipment owned or rented directly by the DBE. DBE subproviders must perform a commercially useful function required in the contract in order for payments to be credited toward meeting the contract goal. A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for executing the work of the contract and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself . When a DBE is presumed not to be performing a commercially useful function, the DBE may present evidence to rebut this presumption. A Provider may count toward its DBE goal a portion of the total value of the contract amount paid to a DBE joint venture equal to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the contract performed by the DBE. Proof of payment, such as copies of canceled checks, properly identifying the Department’s contract number or project number may be required to substantiate the payment, as deemed necessary by the Department.
