Company Transaction” means, unless otherwise defined in the Award Agreement,

 

  (a) consummation of

 

  (1) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other company or other entity that results in a transfer of change of ownership of more than 50% of the voting control of the Company,

  (3) a sale, lease, exchange or other transfer in one transaction or a series of related transactions undertaken with a common purpose of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or

 

  (4) an Initial Public Offering.

Where a series of transactions undertaken with a common purpose is deemed to be a Company Transaction, the date of such Company Transaction shall be the date on which the last of such transactions is consummated.

 

2. All references to “Sale of the Company” in any Award Agreement shall be deemed to be references to “Company Transaction” as defined in the Plan and amended by this Amendment.

 

3. The definition of “Related Party Transaction” as contained in Appendix A to the Plan is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

Related Party Transaction” means (a) a merger or consolidation of the Company in which the holders of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to the merger or consolidation hold at least a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Successor Company immediately after the merger or consolidation; (b) a sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to a majority-owned subsidiary company; or (c) a transaction undertaken for the principal purpose of restructuring the capital of the Company, including, but not limited to, reincorporating the Company in a different jurisdiction, converting the Company to a limited liability company or creating a holding company. Notwithstanding anything in this definition to the contrary, in no event shall the term “Related Party Transaction” include the Company’s initial public offering.
