AMENDMENT OF THE RIGHTS Sample Clauses

The "Amendment of the Rights" clause defines the process by which the rights granted under an agreement can be changed or modified. Typically, this clause outlines who has the authority to propose amendments, the procedures for approval—such as requiring written consent from all parties—and any limitations on what can be amended. Its core practical function is to provide a clear and agreed-upon method for updating the rights in response to changing circumstances, thereby preventing disputes and ensuring all parties are aware of and consent to any changes.
AMENDMENT OF THE RIGHTS. Prior to the Distribution Date, the terms of the Rights and the Rights Agreement may be supplemented or amended by the Board in any manner. From and after the Distribution Date, the Rights may be supplemented or amended by the Board, without the approval of the holders of the Rights, in certain respects which do not materially adversely affect, as determined by the Board (with the concurrence of at least a majority of the Disinterested Directors), the interests of such holders (excluding the interests of any Restricted Person); provided, however, that the Rights Agreement cannot be amended to lengthen (i) any time period unless such lengthening is approved by at least a majority of the Disinterested Directors, and such lengthening is for the benefit of the holders of the Rights (excluding the interests of any Acquiring Person, Adverse Person or Affiliate or Associate thereof), or (ii) any time period relating to when the Rights may be redeemed if at such time the Rights are not then redeemable.
