Successors to the Company. This Agreement shall be deemed assigned to and binding upon any successor entity to the Company, and shall remain in effect in the event such successor entity agrees to be bound. In the event a successor entity fails to take action to be bound by this Agreement within sixty (60) days of its assuming control of the Company, then an Adverse Event as defined by this Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred and the Severance Benefit shall be paid to the Executive within thirty (30) days thereafter.

Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, that no Borrower may assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Lenders’ prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the Lenders shall release any Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to [Section 13.1] and, except as expressly required pursuant to [Section 13.1], no consent or approval by any Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment.

Successors. This Agreement shall bind any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be obligated under this Agreement if no succession had taken place. In the case of any transaction in which a successor would not, by the foregoing provision or by operation of law, be bound by this Agreement, the Corporation shall require such successor expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the obligations of the Corporation under this Agreement, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement may not be assigned by Executive but shall inure to the benefit of Executive, his heirs, and personal representatives.

Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, any successor or successors of the Company and the person or entity to whom the RSUs may have been transferred by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or beneficiary designation. All terms and conditions of this Agreement imposed upon the Participant shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, be deemed, in the event of the Participant’s death, to refer to and be binding upon the Participant’s heirs and beneficiaries.

Successors. The Company will require any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, expressly, absolutely and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place. Any failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession or assignment shall be a material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason and receive the compensation provided for in Paragraph 3 above (subject to compliance with the notice and cure provisions set forth in the definition of “Good Reason”). As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor or assign to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Paragraph 8 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.
