Adjustment. 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.

Adjustment. The individual goals performance component of each Participant’s Annual Incentive Award (determined without application of this Section 4.4) is subject to the aggregate funded amount for the individual goals performance component of all Participants (determined based on the AOI Performance Factor) and to adjustment by managers. Such adjustment may be negative for those Participants who do not achieve the applicable goals, and positive for those Participants who demonstrate outstanding accomplishments. For purposes of applying this Section 4.4, any positive adjustment made to the individual goals performance component of the Annual Incentive Award of one Participant must result in a dollar-for-dollar negative adjustment to the individual goals performance component of the Annual Incentive Award of one or more other Participants so that, in the aggregate, the application of the manager adjustment described in this Section 4.4 to all the Participants shall not result in any additional cost to the Company and its Affiliates for the group of Participants over which a particular manager retains authority.

Adjustment. In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Company stock, the number of Shares covered by the Option and the Exercise Price per Share may be adjusted pursuant to the Plan.

Adjustment. Pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan and the Guidelines, the Committee will (in the case of a Covered Employee) and may (with respect to other Participants) adjust the Performance Targets for the relevant Performance Period to exclude the impact of charges for restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary items, all non-cash charges resulting from any write-down of oil and gas properties and all other non-cash components of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI), other unusual or non-recurring items, and the cumulative effect of accounting changes, each as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and as identified in Southwestern’s audited financial statements, including the notes thereto.

Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price and any increase or decrease in the number of Shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant, then, and in each such case, the Corporation shall within 30 days thereafter give written notice thereof, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each Holder as shown on the books of the Corporation. Any such notice shall state the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the methods of calculation of such adjustments and the facts upon which such calculations were based.

General Adjustment Rules. If any adjustment or substitution provided for in this [Section 4] shall result in the creation of a fractional Share under any Award, the Company shall, in lieu of selling or otherwise issuing such fractional Share, pay to the Participant a cash sum in an amount equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the fractional Share would otherwise have been issued. In the case of any such substitution or adjustment affecting an Award with an Exercise Price, the total Exercise Price for the shares of Stock then subject to the Award shall remain unchanged but the Exercise Price per share under each such Award shall be equitably adjusted by the Administrator to reflect the greater or lesser number of shares of Stock or other securities into which the Stock subject to the Award may have been changed.

Adjustment of Awards. The Committee shall have the sole discretion to adjust Awards, either on a formula or discretionary basis, or on any combination thereof. In the event that applicable laws or regulations change to permit Committee discretion to alter the governing Performance Measures without obtaining shareholder approval of such changes, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining shareholder approval.

Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Sinclair will prepare and deliver to Emmis a written statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) setting forth Sinclair’s good-faith determination of # the amount of Net Working Capital, # the Final Consideration, and # the Excess Amount or the Shortfall Amount, as applicable, which statement will include materials that show, in reasonable detail, Sinclair’s support and computations for the amounts included in the Preliminary Closing Statement. The Preliminary Closing Statement will be binding upon the Parties and such Preliminary Closing Statement will be the “Final Closing Statement,” unless Emmis gives written notice of its disagreement to Sinclair in accordance with [Section 8.6(b)].

Adjustment of Restraints. In the event that any one (1) or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remainder hereof shall not, in any way, be affected or impaired thereby, and any such provision or provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. Moreover, if any one (1) or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held to be excessively broad as to duration, scope, activity or subject (including, but not limited to, the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement), such provisions will be construed by excising, limiting, and/or reducing them so that this Agreement is enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with applicable law.

Severance Plan Adjustment. In the event that your employment with the Company terminates pursuant to paragraph 11 or 15, and, at the time of your termination of employment there is in effect a Company severance plan (a “Severance Plan”) for which you are eligible to participate or would have been eligible to participate but for your having entered into this Agreement or being a Specified Employee and which provides for severance compensation that is greater than the amounts to which you are entitled under paragraphs 11(c)(i) and 11(c)(ii) or paragraph 15, then the amounts of your severance compensation under this Agreement shall automatically be adjusted to equal those that would have been provided to you under the Severance Plan; provided that to the extent you were entitled to any amounts under this Agreement, the time and form of such amounts shall not be adjusted. For the avoidance of doubt, any payment entitlement pursuant to this paragraph 16 is in lieu of, and not in addition to, any severance compensation to which you may otherwise be entitled under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any adjustment to the amount of your entitlements pursuant to this paragraph 16, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect, including, without limitation, paragraphs 6, 7, 8 and 9.
