Triggering Event A "Triggering Event" shall have occurred at such time at which the Grantee becomes entitled to receive from Issuer a Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Merger Agreement.
Change of Control Triggering Event (a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Offered Securities, it shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Offered Securities to repurchase, at the Holder’s election, all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Offered Securities on the terms set forth herein. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Offered Securities repurchased to the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice shall be mailed to the Trustee and to the Holders of the Offered Securities describing in reasonable detail the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Offered Securities on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
(b) In order to accept the Change of Control Offer, the Holder must deliver (or otherwise comply with alternative instructions in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary) to the paying agent, at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, its Offered Security together with the form entitled “Election Form” (which form is contained in the form of note attached hereto as Exhibit A) duly completed, or a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth:
(i) the name of the Holder of such Offered Security;
(ii) the principal amount of such Offered Security;
(iii) the principal amount of such Offered Security to be repurchased;
(iv) the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of such Offered Security;
(v) a statement that the Holder is accepting the Change of Control Offer; and
(vi) a guarantee that such Offered Security, together with the form entitled “Election Form” duly completed, will be received by the paying agent at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
(c) Any exercise by a Holder of its election to accept the Change of Control Offer shall be irrevocable. The Change of Control Offer may be accepted for less than the entire principal amount of an Offered Security, but in that event the principal amount of such Offered Security remaining outstanding after repurchase must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
(d) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:
(i) accept for payment all Offered Securities or portions of such Offered Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(ii) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Offered Securities or portions of Offered Securities properly tendered; and
(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Offered Securities properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities or portions of Offered Securities being repurchased.
(e) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and the third party purchases all Offered Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Offered Securities if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.
(f) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Offered Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 1.3(3), the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 1.3(3) by virtue of any compliance with such laws or regulations.
Termination Apart from Change of Control In the event the Employee’s employment is terminated for any reason, either prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control or after the twelve (12) month period following a Change of Control, then the Employee shall be entitled to receive severance and any other benefits only as may then be established under the Company’s (or any subsidiary’s) then existing severance and benefits plans or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company.
Dissolving Events The Partnership shall be liquidated and dissolved in the manner hereinafter provided upon the happening of any of the following events, whichever first occurs:
(a) the written action of the General Partner to terminate the Partnership; Carrabba’s/Mid East, Limited Partnership 12
(b) the entry of a final judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction adjudicating the Partnership to be a bankrupt, and the expiration of the period, if any, allowed by applicable law in which to appeal therefrom;
(c) the withdrawal of the General Partner; or
(d) any other event that would cause the dissolution of the Partnership under the Act.
Terminating Event A “Terminating Event” shall mean any of the events provided in this Section 3:
Liquidity Event If there is a Liquidity Event before the expiration or termination of this instrument, the Investor will, at its option, either (i) receive a cash payment equal to the Purchase Amount (subject to the following paragraph) or (ii) automatically receive from the Company a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the Liquidity Price, if the Investor fails to select the cash option.

In connection with a Change of Control intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization, the Company may reduce, pro rata, the Purchase Amounts payable to the Cash-Out Investors by the amount determined by the Board in good faith to be advisable for such Change of Control to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and in such case, the Cash-Out Investors will automatically receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the remaining unpaid Purchase Amount divided by the Liquidity Price.
Termination Apart from a Change of Control If the Employee's employment with the Company terminates other than as a result of an Involuntary Termination within the twelve (12) months following a Change of Control, then the Employee shall not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits hereunder, but may be eligible for those benefits (if any) as may then be established under the Company's then existing severance and benefits plans and policies at the time of such termination.

Following a Change in Control If, within thirty-six (36) months following a Change in Control, the Executive (i) is terminated without Cause, or (ii) resigns for Good Reason (as defined and qualified in Section 9(f) above), then the Executive will be entitled to receive (i) all Base Salary and benefits to be paid or provided to the Executive under this Agreement through the Date of Termination, (ii) the amount of any cash bonus related to any year ending before the Date of Termination that has been earned but remains unpaid, (iii) an amount equal to two hundred ninety-nine percent (299%) of the Adjusted Bonus Amount, (iv) an amount equal to two hundred ninety-nine percent (299%) of the Executive’s Base Salary, (v) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any equity incentive plan or agreement, all equity incentive awards which are then outstanding, to the extent not then vested, shall vest, (vi) health insurance benefits substantially commensurate with the Company’s standard health insurance benefits for the Executive and the Executive’s spouse and dependents through the third anniversary of the Date of Termination; provided, however, that such continued benefits shall terminate on the date or dates Executive receives substantially similar coverage and benefits, without waiting period or pre-existing condition limitations, under the plans and programs of a subsequent employer (such coverage and benefits to be determined on a coverage-by-coverage or benefit-by-benefit basis); provided further, that any continued health insurance benefits which are provided under this Agreement (including benefits under Section 9(m)) shall run concurrently with any continuation coverage that the Executive or the Executive’s spouse and dependents are entitled to under COBRA and any rights (including the length of coverage) that the Executive and the Executive’s spouse and dependents may be entitled to under COBRA shall not be increased (or extended) due to any continued health insurance benefits which may be provided to the Executive and the Executive’s spouse or dependents pursuant to this Agreement, and (vii) any other unpaid benefits to which the Executive is otherwise entitled under any plan, policy or program of the Company applicable to the Executive as of the Date of Termination (such benefits shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the applicable arrangements).
