In the event we experience a change in control, each outstanding award may be (i) assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof), (ii) canceled and substituted with an award granted by the successor corporation (or parent thereof), (iii) otherwise continued in effect pursuant to the terms of the change in control transaction or (iv) replaced with a cash incentive program that preserves the intrinsic value of the award and provides for the subsequent vesting and payout of that value in accordance with the same vesting schedule in effect for that award. In the absence of such assumption, continuation or replacement of the award, the award will automatically vest in full immediately prior to the change in control. The plan administrator will have discretion to grant one or more awards which will vest upon a change in control or in the event the individual's service with us or the successor entity terminates within a designated period following a change in control transaction.

O clauză de schimbare a controlului definește ce se întâmplă cu acordul dacă o parte este achiziționată, fuzionează sau suferă în alt mod o schimbare a proprietarului sau a controlului, de exemplu, oferind celeilalte părți dreptul de a rezilia sau renegocia.
Părțile adaugă această clauză deoarece un contract negociat cu o anumită conducere, strategie sau structură de proprietate a unei companii poate să nu mai aibă sens dacă acea companie este achiziționată de un concurent sau își schimbă complet direcția.
Verificați cum este definită „schimbarea controlului” (un prag procentual al proprietății este obișnuit), dacă declanșează drepturi automate sau doar o obligație de notificare și dacă se aplică în mod egal ambelor părți sau protejează doar o parte.
