Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, any such adjustments shall, to the extent practicable, be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of [Section 424(a)] of the Code; and, in the case of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights such adjustments shall be in compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization (including, without limitation, extraordinary cash dividends), share dividend, share split, reverse share split, spin-off, stock rights offering, liquidation, acquisition of property or shares, combination of shares or other similar event affecting the Company, the Committee shall make such substitution(s) or adjustment(s) as it deems appropriate and equitable to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights of Participants under the Plan to: # the aggregate number and kind of shares of Stock or other security(ies) reserved for issuance under the Plan (including any shares of Stock currently authorized by the Prior Plan and that increase the authorized shares under the Plan pursuant to Section 3(a)); # the various maximum limitations on the number of shares of Stock or Units that may be subject to Awards set forth in Section 3(d) granted to any Participant during any calendar year or other period; # the number and kind of shares of Stock or other securities subject to then outstanding Awards granted under the Plan; # the Option Exercise Price of any outstanding Stock Option and strike price/base value of any outstanding Stock Appreciation Right; and # any vesting criteria (including Performance Goals) applicable to any outstanding Award under the relevant Award Agreement; provided, in each case, that no such adjustment authorized under this Section 3(c) shall be made to the extent that such adjustment would cause an Award to be subject to adverse tax consequences to the Participant under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may provide that the number of shares of Stock with respect to any Award shall always be a whole number, and for the payment of fractional shares to be paid out in cash. Any adjustment or substitutions made under this Section 3(c) need not be the same for all Participants.

In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is necessary in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of # the number and type of Shares (or other securities or other property) that thereafter may be made the subject of Awards, # the number and type of Shares (or other securities or other property) subject to outstanding Awards, # the purchase price or exercise price with respect to any Award and # the limitations contained in Section 4(d) of the Plan; provided, however, that the number of Shares covered by any Award or to which such Award relates shall always be a whole number. Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee or the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.

Adjustment Provisions. If, through or as a result of any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction, # the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased, decreased or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or # additional shares, or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Common Stock or other securities, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made in # the maximum number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, # the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Options, and # the price for each share or other security subject to any then outstanding Options, so that upon exercise of such Options, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock for which such Options were then exercisable, the relevant optionee shall be entitled to receive, for the same aggregate consideration, the same total number and kind of shares or other securities, cash or property that the owner of an equal number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the event requiring adjustment would own as a result of the event. If any such event shall occur, appropriate adjustment shall also be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 14 and Section 15 with respect to Options and the rights of optionees after the event so that the provisions of such Sections shall be applicable after the event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable in operation after the event as they were before the event.

In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization (including, without limitation, extraordinary cash dividend), share dividend, share split, reverse share split, spin-off, stock rights offering, liquidation, acquisition of property or shares, combination of shares or other similar event affecting the Company, the Committee shall make such substitution(s) or adjustment(s) as it deems appropriate and equitable to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights of Participants under the Plan to: the aggregate number and kind of shares of Stock or other security(ies) reserved for issuance under the Plan; in the maximum number of shares that may be subject to Awards granted to any Eligible Director during any calendar year or other period; the number and kind of shares of Stock or other security(ies) subject to outstanding Awards granted under the Plan; the Option Exercise Price of any outstanding Options and strike price/base price of any outstanding Stock Appreciation Right; provided, in each case, that no such adjustment authorized under this Section 3(c) shall be made to the extent that such adjustment would cause an Award to be subject to adverse tax consequences to the Participant under Section 409A.

Adjustment. In the event of any equity restructuring, whether a stock dividend, recapitalization, split-up or combination of shares, or otherwise, affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is required in order to preserve the benefits intended to be provided by the Plan, the Committee (subject in the case of Incentive Stock Options to any limitation required under the Code) shall equitably adjust any or all of # the number and kind of shares in respect of which Awards may be made under the Plan, # the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards and # the exercise price with respect to any of the foregoing, provided that the number of shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number.

In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is required in order to preserve the value of issued and outstanding Awards and to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of # the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) which thereafter may be made the subject of Awards, including the aggregate and individual limits specified in [Section 5(a), (ii)])] the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and # the grant, purchase, or exercise price with respect to any Award or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award; provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to any Award denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number.
