Corporate Change Clause Samples

Corporate Change. Guarantor shall not change its jurisdiction of organization unless it shall have provided Purchaser at least fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice of such change.

Corporate Change. If following a Corporate Change (as defined in the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan), the Employee voluntarily terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined below) or the Employee is discharged without Cause, in either case within 24 months following the Corporate Change, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the Company shall have no further obligation to the Employee or his estate, except that the Company shall pay to the Employee (or his estate in the event of his subsequent death), (i) a lump sum payment payable following such termination equal to one and one-half times the Employee’s Base Salary, (ii) 50% of the annual target bonus described in Section 5(i) above for the year of termination and (iii) all benefits payable under the governing provisions of any benefit plan or program of the Company. In addition, if following the date of such resignation or discharge, the Employee becomes eligible to elect continuation coverage under COBRA and properly elects such coverage, the Company shall reimburse the Employee or pay on the Employee’s behalf 100% of applicable medical continuation premiums for the benefit of the Employee (and his covered dependents as of the date of his termination, if any) under the Employee’s then-current plan election, with such coverage to be provided under the closest comparable plan as offered by the Company from time to time, for so long during the 18-month period following the date of resignation or discharge as he remains eligible for and elects COBRA coverage. No such termination pursuant to this paragraph (e) will relieve the Employee of his obligations under Sections 6 and 9 hereunder.

Corporate Change. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, unless otherwise provided in an agreement pursuant to Paragraph 14, your Performance Units shall become fully vested at the maximum earned percentage provided in Exhibit A upon your Involuntary Termination or termination for Good Reason within two years following a Corporate Change (as provided in the Plan) (a “Double Trigger Event”) during the Performance Period; provided, however, that if the Tranche Two PUs have been forfeited pursuant to the last two sentences of subparagraph (a) above prior to the occurrence of a Double Trigger Event, then the Tranche Two PUs shall remain forfeited, no portion of the Tranche Two PUs will vest upon the occurrence of the Double Trigger Event, and the portion of your Performance Units that become vested pursuant to this sentence shall be determined based solely upon the Tranche One PUs. If a Double Trigger Event occurs after the end of the Performance Period and prior to payment of the earned Performance Units, you will be 100% vested in your earned Performance Units that have not yet been forfeited and which are still outstanding upon the Double Trigger Event and payment will be made in accordance with the results achieved for the Performance Period ended as provided in Exhibit A. For purposes of this Agreement, employment with the Company includes employment with a Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly provided that you shall be considered to have terminated employment with the Company at the time of the termination of the “Subsidiary” status under the Plan of the entity or other organization that employs you.

In each such case, the Corporation shall also make appropriate provisions to insure that the provisions of this Section 6 and Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall thereafter be applicable to the Series C Preferred (including, in the case of any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor entity or purchasing entity is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of the Conversion Price to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and a corresponding immediate adjustment in the number of shares of Conversion Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of Series C Preferred, if the value so reflected is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). The Corporation shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Corporation) resulting from consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to acquire.
