Definition of Change of Control For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” will mean the first to occur of:
Change of Control Transaction If the Company or its successor terminates the Employment upon a merger, consolidation, or transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company with or to any other individual(s) or entity (the “Change of Control Transaction”), the Executive shall be entitled to the following severance payments and benefits upon such termination: (1) a lump sum cash payment equal to 12 months of the Executive’s base salary at a rate equal to the greater of his/her annual salary in effect immediate1y prior to the termination, or his/her then current annua1 salary as of the date of such termination; (2) a lump sum cash payment equal to a pro-rated amount of his/her target annual bonus for the year immediately preceding the termination; and (3) immediate vesting of 100% of the then-unvested portion of any outstanding equity awards held by the Executive.
Effect of Change of Control Upon a Change of Control, a number of Units shall, upon certification of performance by the Committee, convert into time-based restricted stock units (the “Time-Based Units”) calculated based on a performance period from January 1, 2021 through the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the closing date of the transaction giving rise to the Change of Control; and provided further that the Date of Issuance in such case shall be December 31, 2023 subject to either (1) your continued employment through such date or (2) your Retirement, pursuant to Section 3(b)(iii). Upon your termination of employment by Capital One without Cause or for Good Reason (each as defined below), in either case on or prior to the second anniversary of the occurrence of a Change of Control of Capital One and prior to the Date of Issuance with respect to the Time-Based Units, then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all of the Time-Based Units shall vest and the Shares shall be issuable in full without restrictions on transferability immediately upon the occurrence of your termination of employment following such Change of Control (to the extent not previously vested or forfeited as provided herein) and such date shall be the Date of Issuance; provided, however, that if the Time-Based Units are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and not exempt from Section 409A of the Code as a short-term deferral or otherwise, and you are a “specified employee,” as defined in and pursuant to Reg. Section 1.409A 1(i) or any successor regulation, on the date of any such termination of employment without Cause or for Good Reason, you will not be entitled to such vesting earlier than the earlier of (i) the date which is six months from the date of your “separation from service” (as defined in Reg. Section 1.409A 1(h) or any successor regulation) as a result of such termination and (ii) your death. With respect to any Time-Based Units that have vested, the Shares related thereto shall be issued to you, in settlement of such vested Time-Based Units, on the Date of Issuance. Dividends will be accrued and paid out as additional shares at the time of the award, as provided in Section 6 below. All Time-Based Units, including your rights thereto and to the underlying Shares, which do not vest on or before the Date of Issuance, as provided in this Section 3, shall immediately be forfeited as of such Date of Issuance (to the extent not previously forfeited as provided herein).
Upon a Change of Control In the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control while the Executive is employed by the Company:
CONDITIONS TO CONSUMMATION OF MERGER 5.1 Conditions to Each Party's Obligations. The respective obligations of each Party to consummate the Merger are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:
Consummation of the Merger As soon as practicable after the Closing, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of merger or other appropriate documents (in any such case, the “Certificate of Merger”) in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with such Secretary of State, or at such later time as Parent and the Company shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the time and date the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time” and “Effective Date,” respectively).
Definition of Change in Control For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:
Consummation of Merger The parties hereto expressly acknowledge that the consummation of the transactions hereunder is subject to consummation of the Merger. Nothing herein shall be construed to require Seller to consummate the Merger or take steps in furtherance thereof.
Consummation of the Transaction Each Party shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, (i) make or cause to be made any filings to the extent required or requested of such Party or any of its Affiliates under any applicable Laws or by any Governmental Authority with competent jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as promptly as is reasonably practicable; (ii) reasonably cooperate with the other Parties and furnish all information in such Party’s possession that is necessary in connection with any other Party’s filings; (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to secure the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period and clearance or approval by any relevant Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as promptly as is reasonably practicable (including, with respect to Acquirors, by refraining from acquiring or seeking to acquire any entity or assets (other than pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) that would present a material risk of delaying or making it more difficult to secure such Required Approvals); (iv) promptly inform the other Parties of (and, at any other Party’s reasonable request, supply to such other Party) any communication (or other correspondence, submission or memoranda) from or to, and any proposed understanding or agreement with, any Governmental Authority in respect of any applicable filings; (v) comply, as promptly as is reasonably practicable and with due regard to maintaining the confidentiality of information that would be commercially harmful if publicly disclosed, with any requests received by such Party or any of its Affiliates under any Laws for additional information, documents, submissions or other materials; (vi) use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to and resolve any objections as may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; and (vii) use commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any Proceeding instituted (or threatened in writing to be instituted) by any Governmental Authority challenging this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as violative of any Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.2, materials and information provided to another Party or its outside counsel may be redacted, or to the extent reasonably necessary withheld entirely, (x) to remove references or other information concerning the valuation of the Subject Interests, (y) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements (other than any contractual arrangements specifically entered into in order to avoid disclosure under this Section 6.2) and (z) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Acquiror, nor any of the Equity Investors, nor any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any direct or indirect portfolio companies of investment funds advised or managed by an Equity Investor or its Affiliates) will be required to sell, license, divest of, hold separate or dispose of its or any of its Affiliates’ businesses, product lines or assets or any interest therein.
Termination Pursuant to a Change of Control If there is a Change of Control, as defined below, during the Term of Employment, the provisions of this Section 6(g) shall apply and shall continue to apply throughout the remainder of the Term (as extended by any Renewal Term). Upon a Change of Control, the Executive will become fully vested in any outstanding stock options, Restricted Stock or other stock grants awarded and become fully vested in all Company contributions made to the Executive’s 401(k), Profit Sharing or other retirement account(s). In addition, within thirty (30) days of the Change of Control, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum equal to the Executive’s pro rata target cash bonus for the year in which the Change of Control occurred (as such may be set forth in the Company’s bonus plan for such year and calculated assuming target achievement of corporate and personal goals); such pro rata amount to be determined based on the actual date of the closing of such Change of Control transaction. If, within two (2) years following a Change of Control, the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (in accordance with Section 5(e) above) or by the Executive for “Good Reason” (as defined in Section 6(g)(ii) below), in lieu of any severance and other benefits payable under Section 6(e) or Section 6(f), subject to the Executive signing a general release of claims in a form and manner satisfactory to the Company and the lapse of any statutory revocation period, the Company shall pay to the Executive (or the Executive’s estate, if applicable) a lump sum amount equal to 1.5 times the sum of (x) the Executive’s Base Salary at the rate then in effect pursuant to Section 4(a), plus (y) an amount equal to the Executive’s cash bonus, if any, received in respect of the year immediately preceding the year of termination pursuant to Section 4(b) within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the cash severance payment to the Executive is considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, and if the Change of Control does not constitute a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, such cash severance shall be payable in installments over the same period as provided in Section 6(e). The Company shall also pay 100% of the costs to provide up to twelve (12) months of outplacement support services at a level appropriate for the Executive’s title and responsibility and provide the Executive with health and dental insurance continuation at a level consistent with the level and type the Executive had in place at the time of termination for a period of twelve (12) months from the Date of Termination.
