Acceleration of Exercisability In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for the securities of another corporation, the acquisition by another corporation or person of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or eighty percent (80%) or more of the Company’s then outstanding voting stock, or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Committee may, in its absolute discretion and upon such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, provide by resolution, adopted prior to such event and incorporated in the notice referred to in Section 3(c)(vii), that at some time prior to the effective date of such event this Option shall be exercisable as to all the shares covered hereby, notwithstanding that this Option may not yet have become fully exercisable under Section 3(a)(i); provided, however, that this acceleration of exercisability shall not take place if:
(i) This Option becomes unexercisable under Section 3(c) prior to said effective date; or
(ii) In connection with such an event, provision is made for an assumption of this Option or a substitution therefor of a new option by an employer corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of such corporation, so that such assumption or substitution complies with the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3(d) shall make this Option exercisable if it is otherwise unexercisable by reason of Section 3(e). The Committee may make such determinations and adopt such rules and conditions as it, in its absolute discretion, deems appropriate in connection with such acceleration of exercisability, including, but not by way of limitation, provisions to ensure that any such acceleration and resulting exercise shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the contemplated corporate transaction, and determinations regarding whether provisions for assumption or substitution have been made as defined in subsection (ii) above.
Acceleration of Maturity If any one or more of the above-described Events of Default shall happen with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, then, and in each and every such case, during the continuance of any such Event of Default, the Trustee or the Holders of 25% or more in principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of such series then Outstanding, if not then due and payable, to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Holders), and upon any such declaration the same shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Securities of such series contained to the contrary notwithstanding. This provision, however, is subject to the condition that, if at any time after the principal of all the Securities of such series shall have been so declared to be due and payable, all arrears of interest, if any, upon all the Securities of such series (with interest, to the extent that interest thereon shall be legally enforceable, on any overdue installment of interest at the rate borne by the Securities of such series) and all amounts owing the Trustee and any predecessor trustee hereunder under Section 6.7 and all other sums payable under this Indenture (except the principal of the Securities of such series which would not be due and payable were it not for such declaration) shall be paid by the Company, and every other Default under this Indenture, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, shall have been made good to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee or of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding, or provision deemed by the Trustee or by such Holders to be adequate therefor shall have been made, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series, waive the Event of Default by reason of which the principal of the Securities of such series shall have been so declared to be due and payable and may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver, rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Any declaration by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be by written notice to the Company, and any declaration or waiver by the Holders of Securities of any series pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be by written notice to the Company and the Trustee.
Optional Acceleration of Maturity If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default pursuant to paragraph (f) of Section 8.01 with respect to the Borrower or the Parent) shall have occurred and be continuing, then, and in any such event,
(a) the Administrative Agent (i) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the obligation of each Bank to make Advances and the obligation of each Issuing Bank to issue, increase, or extend Letters of Credit to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and (ii) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Notes, all interest thereon, the Letter of Credit Obligations, and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Notes, all such interest, all such Letter of Credit Obligations and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable in full, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind (including, without limitation, any notice of intent to accelerate or notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower,
(b) the Borrower shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders, deposit into the Cash Collateral Account an amount of cash equal to the Letter of Credit Exposure as security for the Obligations to the extent the Letter of Credit Obligations are not otherwise paid at such time, and
(c) the Administrative Agent shall at the request of, or may with the consent of, the Required Lenders proceed to enforce its rights and remedies under the Credit Documents for the ratable benefit of the Banks by appropriate proceedings.
Suspension; Acceleration of Maturity Section 5.01. The following is specified as an additional event for suspension of the right of the Borrower to make withdrawals from the Loan Account for the purposes of Section 8.01(m) of the Loan Regulations: the Borrower shall have failed to perform any of its obligations under the Ordinary Operations Loan Agreement.
Section 5.02. The following is specified as an additional event for acceleration of maturity for the purposes of Section 8.07(d) of the Loan Regulations: the event specified in Section 5.01 of this Loan Agreement shall have occurred.
Suspension of Exercisability To the extent that the Company determines in good faith that some action will or need be taken pursuant to Section 3.1 or to comply with federal or state securities laws, the Company may suspend the exercisability of the Rights for a reasonable period in order to take such action or comply with such laws. In the event of any such suspension, the Company shall issue as promptly as practicable a public announcement stating that the exercisability or exchangeability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended. Notice thereof pursuant to Section 5.9 shall not be required. Failure to give a notice pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of any action taken hereunder.
Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may declare all of the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by notice to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Noteholders). Upon any such declaration, the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest through the date of acceleration, will become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(a)(iv) occurs, all unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, and all other amounts payable under this Indenture, will automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder. Upon any such declaration or automatic acceleration, the Indenture Trustee will promptly notify each Noteholder and each Qualified Institution (if not the Indenture Trustee) maintaining a Bank Account.
(b) The Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, by notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind a declaration of acceleration before a judgment or decree for payment of the amount due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this Article V if:
(i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to (A) pay all principal of and interest on the Notes and all other amounts that would then be due under this Indenture or upon the Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred, (B) pay all amounts owed to the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7 and (C) pay all other outstanding fees and expenses of the Issuer; and
(ii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.14. No such rescission will affect any subsequent default or impair any right resulting from such rescission.
Acceleration of Options One hundred (100%) percent of the Executive’s outstanding, unvested options, restricted stock and/or equity awards (“Equity Awards”) shall, immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, become fully and immediately vested to the extent not already so provided under the terms of such Equity Awards; provided, however, that if the acquirer in a Change in Control grants Equity Awards having (in the reasonable opinion of the Board) a value at least equal to the value of Executive’s then-unvested Company Equity Awards, then 50% of the Executive’s outstanding, unvested Company Equity Awards shall become fully and immediately vested immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control (and the remaining 50% shall terminate upon the consummation of the Change in Control). Notwithstanding any provisions of the stock option plan or stock option agreement pursuant to which any stock options subject to the preceding sentence were granted, the Executive shall be entitled to exercise such Equity Awards until three years from the date of termination of employment or the expiration of the stated period of the Equity Award, whichever period is the shorter.
Acceleration of Payments Except as specifically permitted herein, no acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment may be made hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments may be accelerated, in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(j)(4) in the following circumstances: (i) as a result of certain domestic relations orders; (ii) in compliance with ethics agreements with the federal government; (iii) in compliance with the ethics laws or conflicts of interest laws; (iv) in limited cashouts (but not in excess of the limit under Code §402(g)(1)(B)); (v) to pay employment-related taxes; or (vi) to pay any taxes that may become due at any time that the Agreement fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A.
Acceleration of Equity Awards All: (i) outstanding and unvested options to purchase Common Stock granted to Executive under any equity plan of the Company, (ii) unvested shares of restricted Common Stock awarded to the Executive under any equity plan of the Company, and (iii) other equity and equity equivalent awards then held by the Executive, shall be accelerated in full, and thereafter all such options, shares of restricted Common Stock and other equity awards shall be immediately vested and exercisable for such period of time as provided for by the specific agreements governing each such award, upon Executive’s termination pursuant to Sections 11(b), (c), (e) or (f) hereof.
