Upon a Change of Control Upon a Change of Control (as defined in Section 6 hereof) the following shall occur:
(i) at the time of the consummation of such Change of Control, 25% of any then unvested stock options held by you at such time that were granted on or prior to the Amendment Date shall vest as of the date of the consummation of such Change of Control (notwithstanding any contrary provision in any agreement evidencing such stock options) with such vesting reducing the number of shares subject to such stock options that would otherwise vest on each subsequent vesting date by 25%.
(ii) if, within one year following the date of the consummation of such Change of Control, the Company or any successor thereto terminates your employment other than for Cause, or you terminate your employment for Good Reason, then, in lieu of any payments to you or on your behalf under Section 5(a) hereof, (A) the Company shall pay to you a lump sum payment equal to the sum of (x) your then-current annual base salary plus (y) your target bonus amount for the year in which such termination occurs, which amount shall be paid to you as provided in Section 5(f) below; (B) 100% of any then unvested equity and equity-based awards, including, but not limited to, stock options, held by you at the time of such termination shall fully vest, effective upon the date of such termination (notwithstanding any contrary provision in any agreement evidencing such equity or equity-based awards); and (C) if you are participating in the Company’s group health plan and/or dental plan at the time your employment terminates pursuant to this Section 5(c)(ii) and you exercise your right to continue participation in those plans under COBRA, the Company will pay or, at its option, reimburse you, on a monthly basis, for the full monthly premium cost of that participation for the 12 months following the date on which your employment with the Company terminates or, if earlier, until the date you become eligible to enroll in the health (and/or, if applicable, dental) plan of a new employer, it being understood that, to the extent that the payment of the base salary contemplated by clause (A)(x) of this Section 5(c)(ii) in a lump sum would result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A, such payment shall instead be paid at the same time and in the same form as provided in Section 5(a)(i)(A) hereof.
Termination for Change of Control This Agreement may be terminated immediately by SAP upon written notice to Provider if Provider comes under direct or indirect control of any entity competing with SAP. If before such change Provider has informed SAP of such potential change of control without undue delay, the Parties agree to discuss solutions on how to mitigate such termination impact on Customer, such as stepping into the Customer contract by SAP or by any other Affiliate of Provider or any other form of transition to a third party provider.
Termination on Change of Control 26.12.1 The Supplier shall notify the Authority immediately in writing if the Supplier undergoes a change of control within the meaning of Section 450 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 ("Change of Control") and provided this does not contravene any Law shall notify the Authority immediately in writing of any circumstances suggesting that a Change of Control is planned or in contemplation.

(a) being notified in writing that a Change of Control has occurred; or
(b) where no notification has been made, the date that the Authority becomes aware of the Change of Control, if it believes, acting reasonably, that such change is likely to have an adverse effect on the provision of the Services, but it shall not be permitted to terminate this Framework Agreement where an Approval was granted prior to the Change of Control
No Change of Control The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary irrevocable waivers, adopt any required amendments and make all appropriate determinations so that the issuance of the Shares to the Purchasers will not trigger a “change of control” or other similar provision in any of the agreements to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, including without limitation any employment, “change in control,” severance or other agreements and any benefit plan, which results in payments to the counterparty or the acceleration of vesting of benefits.

Your right to receive such payments and benefits, other than the Accrued Obligations, shall be in consideration of your agreements under this Agreement, including but not limited to your agreement not to compete with the Company for two years after a Change of Control pursuant to Section 6, and shall be conditioned upon your execution of a Release. Such Release shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A but may be modified by the Company as it deems appropriate to reflect changes in law or circumstances arising after the date of this Agreement; provided that no such modification shall increase any of your obligations to the Company over those contemplated by this Agreement, including Exhibit A hereto.
