Acceleration Upon Change of Control In the event of a Change of Control, all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated pursuant to this Article IV as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the closing date of the Change of Control and utilizing the Valuation Assumptions by substituting the phrase “the closing date of a Change of Control” in each place where the phrase “Early Termination Effective Date” appears. Such obligations shall include, but not be limited to, (1) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the closing date of the Change of Control, (2) any Tax Benefit Payments agreed to by the Corporation and the Members as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (3) any Tax Benefit Payments due for any Taxable Year ending prior to, with or including the closing date of a Change of Control (except to the extent that any amounts described in clauses (2) or (3) are included in the Early Termination Payment). For the avoidance of doubt, Sections 4.2 and 4.3 shall apply to a Change of Control, mutadis mutandi.
Payments Upon Certain Terminations (i) If Executive’s employment is terminated by Employer Without Cause or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, Employer shall pay or provide to Executive as severance payments and benefits the following:

Changes of Commitments (a) The Aggregate Commitments shall at all times be equal to the lesser of (i) the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts after adjustments resulting from reductions pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or (ii) the Borrowing Base as determined from time to time.
Acceleration Upon a Change of Control Subject to any additional acceleration of exercisability described in Sections 4(b), (c) and (d) below, in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in Section 1 above), the vesting and exercisability of fifty percent (50%) of Executive’s outstanding Stock Awards shall be automatically accelerated. The foregoing provision is hereby deemed to be a part of each such Stock Award and to supersede any less favorable provision in any agreement or plan regarding such Stock Award.
