The “Change of Control Date” shall mean the first date during the Change of Control Period (as defined in Section 1(b)) on which a Change of Control (as defined in Section 2) occurs. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Change of Control occurs and if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the date on which the Change of Control occurs, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination of employment # was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control or # otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of a Change of Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the “Change of Control Date” shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment.
In connection with a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company, “Cause” shall mean any one or more of the following reasons: # the willful material failure by the Executive to perform the duties required of her hereunder (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness of the Executive or material changes in the direction and policies of the Board of Directors of Company), if such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which it is believed that the Executive has failed to attempt to perform her duties hereunder; # the willful engaging by the Executive in willful misconduct materially injurious to the Company; # receipt by the Company of a notice (which shall not have been appealed by Executive or shall have become final and non-appealable) of any governmental body or entity having jurisdiction over the Company requiring termination or removal of the Executive from her then present position, or receipt of a written directive or order of any governmental body or entity having jurisdiction over the Company (which shall not have been appealed by Executive or shall have become final and non-appealable) requiring termination or removal of the Executive from her then present position; # personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, willful breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit or conviction of a felony; or # material breach of any provision set forth in Sections 6, 7, 8 or 9, to the extent applicable. For purposes of this section, no act, or failure to act, on the Executive’s part shall be considered ‘‘willful’’ unless done or omitted to be done by Executive in bad faith and without reasonable belief that her action or omission was in the best interest of Company. Any act or omission to act by the Executive in reliance upon a written opinion of counsel to Company shall not be deemed to be willful.
“Change in Control” means and shall be deemed to have occurred if # any Person is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing thirty percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of all the then outstanding Voting Securities, # any Person purchases or otherwise acquires under a tender offer, securities representing thirty percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of all the then outstanding Voting Securities, # during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals # who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company and # any new director whose election by the Company’s Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved (but excluding, for purposes of this definition, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Company’s Board of Directors), cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors, # the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with another entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the Voting Securities outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent, either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity (or if the surviving entity is a subsidiary of another entity, then of the parent entity of such surviving entity), at least sixty percent (60%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the surviving entity (or parent entity) outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or # the stockholders approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company (in one transaction or a series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
“Disinterested Director” shall mean a director of the Company who is not or was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is being sought by Indemnitee.
Certain Limitations. The Party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to herein as the “Indemnified Party” and the Party against which such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. The indemnification provided for in Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 shall be subject to the following limitations:
Certain Amounts. Whenever pursuant to this Note the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Note and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to this Note. The Borrower and the Holder hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock.
Certain Definitions. Except as otherwise indicated in this Agreement, all definitions in this Section 3(f) shall be applicable during the Protected Period only.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit to be paid or provided to you, under this Agreement or any other arrangement (collectively, the "Total Payments"), would be a "Parachute Payment," within the meaning of Section 280G of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), but for the application of this sentence, then the Total Payments will be reduced to the minimum extent necessary (but in no event to less than zero) so that no portion of any such payment or benefit, as so reduced, constitutes a Parachute Payment; provided, however, that the foregoing reduction will be made only if and to the extent that such reduction would result in an increase in the aggregate payments and benefits to be provided to you, determined on an after-tax basis (taking into account the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, any tax imposed by any comparable provision of state law, and any applicable federal, state and local income taxes). Any determinations required to be made under this Section 8 will be made by BHI’s independent accountants or another major accounting firm selected by BHI, which will provide detailed supporting calculations both to you and BHI within fifteen (15) business days after the date of the termination of your employment (or other event that triggers a calculation under Section 4999 of the Code) or such earlier time as is requested by BHI, and will be made at the expense of BHI. The fact that your right to payments or benefits may be reduced by reason of the limitations contained in this Section 8 will not of itself limit or otherwise affect any of your other rights under this Agreement. If any payment or benefit is required to be reduced pursuant to this Section 8 and no such payment or benefit qualifies as a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of and subject to Section 409A of the Code ("Nonqualified Deferred Compensation"), you will be entitled to designate the payments and/or benefits to be so reduced in order to give effect to this Section 8. BHI will provide you with all information that you reasonably request to permit you to make such designation. If any payment or benefit is required to be reduced pursuant to this Section 8 and any such payment or benefit constitutes Nonqualified Deferred Compensation or you fail to elect an order in which payments or benefits will be reduced pursuant to this Section 8, then the reduction will occur in the following order: # the payments under [Section 2(a)(i) or 3(a)(iii) of Appendix A]A], as applicable, # the payments under [Section 2(a)(iv) or 3(a)(v) of Appendix A]A], as applicable, # any other cash payments to be made to you but only if the value of such cash payments is not greater than the parachute value of such payments, # other payments, including cancellation of acceleration of vesting, if applicable, ratably. Within any category of payments and benefits (that is, (a), (b), (c) or (d)), # a reduction will occur first with respect to amounts that are not Nonqualified Deferred Compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and then with respect to amounts that are, and # the payment and/or benefit amounts to be reduced and the acceleration of vesting to be cancelled, if applicable, shall be reduced or cancelled in the inverse order of their originally scheduled dates of payment or vesting, as applicable.
Certain Transactions. Except for arm’s length transactions pursuant to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes payments in the ordinary course of business upon terms no less favorable than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries could obtain from third parties and other than the grant of stock options disclosed on [Schedule 3(c)], none of the officers, directors, or employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.
