Change of Recommendation (i) Notwithstanding Section 5.2(a), in response to the receipt of a Superior Offer that has not been withdrawn, the Board of Directors of the Company may withhold, withdraw, amend, modify, qualify or condition in a manner adverse to Acquiror its Recommendation, and in the case of a Superior Offer that is a tender or exchange offer, recommend that its shareholders accept the tender or exchange offer (any of the foregoing actions, whether by a Board of Directors or a committee thereof, a “Change of Recommendation”), if all of the following conditions in clauses (1) through (5) are met: (1) The Scheme Meeting has not occurred; (2) It shall have (A) provided Acquiror with written notice of its intention to effect a Change of Recommendation (a “Change of Recommendation Notice”) at least five (5) business days prior to effecting a Change of Recommendation that relates to (i) a Superior Offer or (ii) any material change to the terms of a Superior Offer to which a previous Change of Recommendation Notice applies, which notice shall state expressly (I) that it has received a Superior Offer, (II) the material terms and conditions of the Superior Offer and the identity of the Person or group making the Superior Offer, and (III) that it intends to effect a Change of Recommendation and the manner in which it intends to do so (it being understood and agreed that such notice and such statement shall not constitute a Change of Recommendation), (B) provided to Acquiror a copy of all materials and information delivered or made available to the Person or group making the Superior Offer or any of its Representatives and (C) provided Acquiror with the opportunity to meet and discuss a modification of the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be effected and so that the transaction theretofore determined to be a Superior Offer no longer constitutes a Superior Offer; (3) Either (A) on or before the expiration of the five (5) business day period following the delivery to Acquiror of any Change of Recommendation Notice, Acquiror does not make a written offer, which shall be binding and enforceable against Acquiror and capable of acceptance by the Company (a “Matching Bid”), in response to such Superior Offer, or (B) following receipt of a Matching Bid within the five (5) business day period following the delivery to Acquiror of any Change of Recommendation Notice, the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company at which it consults prior to such determination with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisors (including the Independent Financial Advisor)) that after taking into account the Matching Bid, that the Superior Offer to which the Change of Recommendation Notice applies continues to be a Superior Offer; (4) Its Board of Directors has concluded in good faith, following consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Offer and after taking into consideration the Matching Bid, if any, the failure of the Board of Directors to effect a Change of Recommendation would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements; and (5) It shall not have materially breached any of the provisions set forth in this Section 5.4 (including Section 5.4(b)) in connection with such Acquisition Proposal. (ii) In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, at any time prior to obtaining the approval of the shareholders of the Company of this Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement, the Board of Directors of the Company may, in response to a material development or change in circumstances occurring, arising or coming to the attention of such Board of Directors after the date hereof (and not relating to any Acquisition Proposal) (such material development or change in circumstances, an “Intervening Event”), make a Change of Recommendation if such Board of Directors has concluded in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal advisors, that, in light of such Intervening Event, the failure of such Board of Directors to effect such a Change of Recommendation would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that (A) the Company shall send to Acquiror written notice of its intention to effect a Change of Recommendation, specifying in reasonable detail the reasons therefor, at least five (5) business days prior to effecting a Change of Recommendation, (B) the Company shall provide Acquiror with an opportunity to meet and discuss the basis for a Change of Recommendation, Acquiror’s reaction thereto and any possible modification to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in response thereto so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be effected and (C) after such discussions, the Board of Directors of the Company concludes, after consultation with its outside legal advisors, that the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements. (iii) The Board of Directors of the Company shall not make any Change of Recommendation other than in compliance with and as permitted by this Section 5.4(d).
Company Board Recommendation (a) Subject to the terms of Section 6.3(b) and Section 6.3(c), the Company Board shall recommend that the holders of Company Shares accept the Offer, tender their Company Shares to Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Offer and, if required by the applicable provisions of Delaware Law, adopt this Agreement (the “Company Board Recommendation”). (b) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) fail to make the Company Board Recommendation to the holders of the Company Shares, (ii) withhold, withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation, (iii) adopt, approve, recommend, endorse or otherwise declare advisable the adoption of any Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that, only with respect to a tender offer or exchange offer, taking a neutral position or no position (other than in a communication made in compliance with Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal shall be considered a breach of this clause (iii)), or (iv) resolve, agree or publicly propose to take any such actions (each such foregoing action or failure to act in clauses (i) through (iv) being referred to herein as an “Company Board Recommendation Change”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if, at any time prior to the Appointment Time, the Company Board receives a Superior Proposal or there occurs an Intervening Event, the Company Board may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change provided that (i) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that the failure to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable Delaware Law, and in the case of a Superior Proposal, the Company Board approves or recommends such Superior Proposal; (ii) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it intends to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change, describing in reasonable detail the reasons, including the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal and a copy of the final form of any related agreements or a description in reasonable detail of such Intervening Event, as the case may be, for such Company Board Recommendation Change (a “Recommendation Change Notice”) (it being understood that the Recommendation Change Notice shall not constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change for purposes of this Agreement); (iii) if requested by Parent, the Company shall have made its Representatives available to discuss and negotiate in good faith with Parent’s Representatives any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement during the three (3) Business Day period following delivery by the Company to Parent of such Recommendation Change Notice; and (iv) if Parent shall have delivered to the Company a written proposal capable of being accepted by the Company to alter the terms or conditions of this Agreement during such three (3) Business Day period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel), after considering the terms of such proposal by Parent, that a Company Board Recommendation Change is still necessary in light of such Superior Proposal or Intervening Event in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable Delaware Law. Any material amendment or modification to any Superior Proposal will be deemed to be a new Superior Proposal for purposes of this Section 6.3. The Company shall keep confidential any proposals made by Parent to revise the terms of this Agreement, other than in the event of any amendment to this Agreement and to the extent required to be disclosed in any Company SEC Reports. (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and (ii) making any disclosure to the Company Stockholders that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably be expected to be a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable Delaware Law; provided, however, that in no event shall this Section 6.3(c) affect the obligations of the Company set forth in Sections 6.2 and 6.3; and provided, further, that any such disclosure will be deemed to be a Company Board Recommendation Change unless the Board of Directors publicly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation within five Business Days of such disclosure.
Board Recommendation The Acquiror Company Board, by unanimous written consent, has determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are advisable and in the best interests of the Acquiror Company’s stockholders and has duly authorized this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
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.
No Change in Recommendation or Alternative Acquisition Agreement The board of directors of the Company and each committee of the board of directors shall not: (i) (A) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation (B) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (C) approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable or propose or resolve to approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable (publicly or otherwise), any Acquisition Proposal, or (D) fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Recommendation within ten business days after Parent so requests in writing (provided, that Parent shall be entitled to make such a written request for reaffirmation only once for each Acquisition Proposal and once for each material amendment to such Acquisition Proposal) (any action described in clauses (A) and (D) a “Change of Recommendation”); or (ii) Except as expressly permitted by, and after compliance with this Section 6.2(d), cause or permit the Company to enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to the time, but not after, the Company Requisite Vote is obtained, the board of directors of the Company (x) may make a Change of Recommendation and in connection therewith, approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable, and enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement in connection with a Superior Proposal made after the date of this Agreement (if such Superior Proposal did not result from a material breach of Section 6.2(a) and such Superior Proposal is not withdrawn) or (y) may make a Change of Recommendation as a result of the occurrence of an Intervening Event, if, the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that the board of directors of the Company shall not (i) in the case of clause (x) make a Change of Recommendation with respect to a Superior Proposal and authorize the Company to enter into any Alterative Acquisition Agreement or (ii) in the case of clause (y) make a Change of Recommendation unless: (i) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it intends to effect a Change of Recommendation, describing in reasonable detail the reasons for such Change of Recommendation (a “Recommendation Change Notice”) (it being agreed that the Recommendation Change Notice and any amendment or update to such notice and the determination to so deliver such notice, or update or amend public disclosures with respect thereto shall not constitute a Change of Recommendation for purposes of this Agreement), and if such proposed Change of Recommendation relates to an Acquisition Proposal, has provided copies of the most current version of all documents relating to such Acquisition Proposal, and if such proposed Change of Recommendation relates to an Intervening Event, such Recommendation Change Notice specifies the facts and circumstances of such Intervening Event; and (ii) (x) if requested by Parent, the Company shall have made its Representatives available to discuss and negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement during the three business days following the date on which the Recommendation Change Notice is delivered to Parent and (y) if Parent shall have delivered to the Company a written, binding and irrevocable offer to alter the terms or conditions of this Agreement during such three business day period, the board of directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, after considering the terms of such offer by Parent, that the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and that in the case of a Change of Recommendation with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, such Acquisition Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if the changes offered by Parent were given effect, and that in the case of an Intervening Event, the board of directors of the Company still intends to effect a Change of Recommendation if the changes offered by Parent were given effect; provided that in the event the Acquisition Proposal is thereafter modified by the party making such Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall notify Parent in writing of such modified Acquisition Proposal and shall again comply with the requirements of this clause (ii).
CHANGE OF T-PIN The Account Holder may change his T-PIN from time to time in accordance with the Bank’s prescribed procedure then prevailing. The Bank shall be entitled, in its reasonable discretion but without liability and without giving any reason, to reject any selection made by the Account Holder as his substituted T-PIN; if the Bank so approves, such substituted T-PIN, shall take effect from the time of receipt by the Bank of such instructions from the Account Holder. The Account Holder shall take all steps not to select such numbers as a substitute T-PIN which may easily be ascertained or otherwise facilitate fraud or forgery.
No Change in Control Guarantor shall not permit the occurrence of any direct or indirect Change in Control of Tenant or Guarantor.
Notice of Change of Control Each occasion that any Change of Control shall occur and such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the particulars of each such occasion.

Effect of Change of Control (a) Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary (and unless otherwise required pursuant to Code Section 409A), the following provisions shall apply in the event of a Change of Control: (i) To the extent that the successor or surviving company in the Change of Control event does not assume or substitute the Option (or in which the Company is the ultimate parent corporation and does not continue the Option) on substantially similar terms or with substantially equivalent economic benefits (as determined by the Administrator) as the Option outstanding immediately prior to the Change of Control event, the Option shall become fully vested and exercisable, whether or not then otherwise vested and exercisable. (ii) Further, in the event that the Option is substituted, assumed or continued as provided in Section 4(a) herein, the Option will nonetheless become vested and exercisable in full, if the employment or service of the Participant is terminated within six months before (in which case vesting shall not occur until the effective date of the Change of Control) or one year (or such other period after a Change of Control as may be stated in the Participant’s employment, change of control, consulting or other similar agreement, if applicable) after the effective date of a Change of Control if such termination of employment or service (i) is by the Company not for Cause or (ii) is by the Participant for Good Reason. For clarification, for the purposes of this Section 4, the “Company” shall include any successor to the Company. (iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Participant has entered into an employment agreement as of the Effective Date of the Plan or is a participant in the Company’s Change in Control Plan or similar arrangement, the Participant shall be entitled to the greater of the benefits provided upon a change of control of the Company under the Plan or the respective employment agreement, Change in Control Plan or other arrangement, and such agreement, Change in Control Plan or other arrangement shall not be construed to reduce in any way the benefits otherwise provided to a Participant upon a Change of Control as defined in the Plan. (b) For the purposes herein, except as may be otherwise required, if at all, under Code Section 409A, a “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred on the earliest of the following dates: (i) The date any entity or person shall have become the beneficial owner of, or shall have obtained voting control over, more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting stock; (ii) The date of the consummation of (A) a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company (or similar transaction involving the Company), in which the holders of the Common Stock immediately prior to the transaction have voting control over less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of the surviving corporation immediately after such transaction, or (B) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Company; or (iii) The date there shall have been a change in a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company within a 12-month period unless the nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders of each new Director was approved by the vote of two-thirds of the members of the Board (or a committee of the Board, if nominations are approved by a Board committee rather than the Board) then still in office who were in office at the beginning of the 12-month period.
