Transaction Bonus. In addition, in the event of a transaction involving a Change in Control, in a transaction approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, which transaction results in the receipt by the Company’s stockholders of consideration with a value representing, in the sole judgment of the Board of Directors, a significant premium over the average of the closing prices per share of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market for 20 trading days ending one day prior to the public announcement of such transaction (a “Change in Control Transaction”), Executive shall be paid a Transaction Bonus at the closing of such a transaction in the amount equal to one (1) times 50% of Executive’s Base Salary in effect immediately preceding the closing of such a transaction. Executive shall also be paid said Transaction Bonus if the Company enters into a transaction approved by the Board of Directors which is not a Change in Control Transaction, but which, nonetheless, involves a significant change in the ownership of the Company or the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company, and which results in significant additional value for the Company’s stockholders, as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion and as specifically designated a significant event by the Board of Directors (a “Significant Event”). In the event Executive receives a Transaction Bonus, no Achievement Bonus will be paid to Executive in the year in which such Transaction Bonus is paid. If the Company enters into a transaction which is a Change in Control Transaction, then all of the Executive’s stock options received before the date of the transaction shall become exercisable in full and all of the shares of the common stock of the Company awarded to Executive under the Company’s 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (or any subsequent plan) shall become fully vested. If the Company enters into a transaction which is not a Change in Control Transaction but which is a Significant Event, then the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that all, or a portion, of the Executive’s stock options received before the effective date of the transaction shall become exercisable in full and all, or a portion, of the shares of the common stock of the Company awarded to Executive under the Company’s 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (or any subsequent plan) shall become fully vested.
Transaction Bonus. In the event of a Change of Control, then ----------------- subject to the requirements set forth in this Subsection 6(b), the Employee will receive a cash transaction bonus (the "Transaction Bonus") calculated and payable as follows:
Transaction Bonus. If a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) in which the consideration payable for shares of the Company’s common stock is comprised of at least 80% cash occurs after the Effective Date and prior to April 1, 2024, Executive shall be entitled to receive a one-time cash transaction bonus (the “Transaction Bonus”) in an amount equal to: (i) the total consideration payable in the Change in Control with respect to Executive’s then-vested 2021 Awards (including shares of the Company’s common stock previously issued to Executive under such vested awards) if such Change in Control occurs prior to April 1, 2023 or (ii) the total consideration payable in the Change in Control with respect to Executive’s then-vested 2023 Awards (including shares of the Company’s common stock previously issued to Executive under such vested awards) if such Change in Control occurs on or after April 1, 2023 and before April 1, 2024. The Transaction Bonus, if any, will be (A) in an amount calculated by the Board or Compensation Committee, (B) payable within thirty (30) days following the Change in Control, subject to Executive’s continued employment through such Change in Control, and (C) if determined by the Board prior to the Change in Control, conditioned upon Executive’s execution, delivery to the Company and non-revocation of a release of claims in a customary form acceptable to the Company in its reasonable discretion. The Board or Compensation Committee will have the authority to determine whether the consideration payable for shares of the Company’s common stock in a Change in Control is at least 80% cash, provided that such authority will be exercised in a manner consistent with the exercise of authority of the Administrator (as defined in the Plan) with respect to the corresponding determination as it relates to outstanding awards under the Plan. For purposes of this Section 4(d), for a Change in Control in which the consideration payable for shares of the Company’s common stock is not all cash, the value of the total consideration per share payable in such Change in Control will be determined by the Board or Compensation Committee with reference to the public market closing price per Share on the day that is three (3) days before the date of the Change in Control (or the last preceding trading day, if such day is not a trading day). For the avoidance of doubt, no Transaction Bonus will be payable with respect to a Change in Control (x) in which the consideration payable f...
Transaction Bonus. Within thirty (30) days following the closing date of the Merger, the Executive will receive a one-time bonus in the amount of $125,000.
Transaction Bonus. The Company shall pay the Employee a bonus equal to $300,000 (the "Transaction Bonus"); provided, however, that if the Company reasonably determines that the payment of such Transaction Bonus, together with the accelerated vesting of the Employee's stock options and restricted stock previously granted by the Company, may result in an excise tax under section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the amount of such Transaction Bonus shall be reduced to the extent reasonably determined by the Company to be necessary or desirable to avoid such excise tax, and the amount of such reduction shall be mutually agreed to by the Company and the Employee prior to the Merger Date. The Transaction Bonus shall be paid to the Employee in a lump sum on the Merger Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to pay the Transaction Bonus if the Employee is not employed by the Company on the Merger Date. 3.
Transaction Bonus. Upon the closing of the Capital Raise, the Company shall pay the Executive a per transaction bonus in the amount of $100,000 in closing each of the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and the SeqLL Merger, and for any subsequent completed acquisition in excess of $8 million, in consideration for the Executive’s assistance in closing each such transaction (the “Transaction Bonus”). Such Transaction Bonus(es) shall be paid via payroll within fifteen (15) days of the closing of such transaction(s).
Transaction Bonus. 3.1 Effective as of the Amendment Date, during the Contract Term, and provided Executive is still employed by the Company and has not given notice of her intent to terminate her employment, upon consummation of a Change in Control (as defined herein) or sale of an Operating Subsidiary, in addition to any other payments or benefits applicable thereto under this Agreement, Executive shall be eligible to receive a Transaction Bonus equal to three quarters of one percent (0.75%) of the “Transaction Value”, which means the total amount of Sale Proceeds paid in respect of the transaction that resulted in the Change in Control or sale of an Operating Subsidiary. Said Transaction Bonus shall be paid 50% as soon as practicable following the closing date of the Change in Control or sale of an Operating Subsidiary and 50% on the first anniversary thereof and shall be paid in the same form of consideration (e.g. cash, stock in the acquiring company, promissory note or a combination thereof) as is the consideration received by the holders of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company who participate in the Transaction; provided, however, the Company reserves the right to pay the Transaction Bonus in such other form as it determines in its sole discretion. For the sake of clarity, the computation of the Transaction Bonus and whether Executive is eligible to receive same shall be determined in the Company’s sole discretion. Executive must be employed on the payment date of either portion of the Transaction Bonus in order to be eligible for same, provided, however, that such requirement shall not apply in the event that, after a Change in Control or sale of an Operating Subsidiary but before payment of the remaining 50% of the Transaction Bonus is paid, the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause or Executive terminates her employment for Good Reason, in either case Executive shall receive the Transaction Bonus on the anniversary of the Change in Control or sale of an Operating Subsidiary as if Executive were still employed, subject to the terms of Section 6. For the sake of clarity, “Sale Proceeds” shall mean the fair market value of the gross consideration received by the Company or its stockholders in the Change in Control or sale of an Operating Subsidiary transaction, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control or sale of an Operating Subsidiary, taking into a...

To the extent that the series, class or general composition of securities received by the Investors in connection with the Acquisition are modified prior to the Closing Date, Parent may then modify the number of Deferred Common Stock Units and the number of Deferred Preferred Stock Units credited to the Executive's Deferred Compensation Account as of the Closing Date in its sole discretion; provided that (i) the aggregate value of the Deferred Common Stock Units and the Deferred Preferred Stock Units will not be less than the difference between the aggregate "Transaction Bonus" set forth on the signature page hereto and the amount of the Cash Bonus and (ii) the ratio of the number of Deferred Common Stock Units to the number of Deferred Preferred Units will be equal to the ratio of the number of shares of Common Stock acquired by the Investors to the number of shares of Preferred Stock acquired by the Investors. In the event that the Executive voluntary resigns from employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries without Good Reason within twelve months after the Closing Date or the Executive's employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated for Cause within twelve months after the Closing Date, the Executive shall, as of the date of such resignation or termination, as the case may be, forfeit the Cash Bonus received pursuant to this Section 2(c)(iii), in its entirety, and repay such amount to the Company by remitting a certified check for such amount made payable to the Company. The forfeiture in the foregoing sentence shall not apply if Executive's employment with the Company is terminated due to his death, disability, without Cause or for Good Reason (other than pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Good Reason).
