Change of Control Sample Clauses
A Change of Control clause defines the rights and obligations of the parties if there is a significant change in the ownership or management of one of the parties involved in the agreement. Typically, this clause outlines what constitutes a change of control, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of a majority of shares, and may grant the non-affected party certain rights, like the ability to terminate the contract or require advance notice. Its core function is to protect parties from being bound to an agreement with a new, potentially unknown or undesirable owner, thereby managing risk and ensuring stability in contractual relationships.

If, within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control: (a) the Executive terminates his employment for Cause; or (b) the Employer terminates Executive’s employment without Cause, the Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death, his designated beneficiaries or his estate, as the case may be, shall receive, as liquidated damages, in lieu of all other claims, a lump sum severance payment equal to one (1) times the Executive’s then current Base Salary, plus the average of the Executive’s annual bonuses paid pursuant to Section 4.2 of this Agreement for the three calendar years immediately preceding the effective date of the Change of Control (with any such calendar year(s) for which no annual bonus was paid being included in such calculation as a zero dollar amount), plus any amounts not yet paid under Section 4.4. The lump sum amount so calculated shall be paid in full on the last day of the month following the date of termination. In no event shall the payment described in this Section 3.3 exceed the amount permitted by Section 280G of the Code. Therefore, if the aggregate present value (determined as of the date of the Change of Control in accordance with the provisions of Section 280G of the Code) of both the severance payment and all other payments to the Executive in the nature of compensation which are contingent on a change in ownership or effective control of the Employer or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Employer (the “Aggregate Severance”) would result in a “parachute payment,” as defined under Section 280G of the Code, then the Aggregate Severance shall not be greater than an amount equal to 2.99 multiplied by Executive’s “base amount” for the “base period, “ as those terms are defined under Section 280G of the Code. In the event the Aggregate Severance is required to be reduced pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Executive shall be entitled to determine which portions of the Aggregate Severance are to be reduced so that the Aggregate Severance satisfies the limit set forth in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, if the Executive may exercise his right to terminate employment under this Section 3.3, the Executive may choose which provision shall be applicable.
