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. 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 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.

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.

Adjustment Provisions. If there shall occur any change with respect to the outstanding Shares by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other distribution with respect to the Shares, or any merger, reorganization, consolidation, combination, spin-off or other similar corporate change, or any other change affecting the Common Stock, the Committee may, in the manner and to the extent that it deems appropriate and equitable to the Participants and consistent with the terms of the Plan, cause an adjustment to be made in # the maximum number and kind of Shares provided in Section 4.1, # the number and kind of Shares, units or other rights subject to then outstanding Awards, # the exercise or base price for each Share, unit or other right subject to then outstanding Awards, and # any other terms of an Award that are affected by the event. 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.

Investment Adjustment. The investment income, gains and losses shall be determined for the Accounts in accordance with the following:

Adjustment Event. If an Adjustment Event occurs, the parties must do all things necessary to make sure that the Adjustment Event may be properly accounted for, including the issue of an Adjustment Note.

Investment Adjustment. For each Plan Year quarter or other period, the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be increased or decreased as if it had earned the rate of return corresponding to the amount determined by the Committee under Paragraph 7.4. Such increase or decrease shall be based on the balance in the Deferred Compensation Account throughout the Plan Year quarter or other period and shall be credited at such time as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine.

Binding Effect & Adjustment. This Agreement shall be binding and conclusive upon each successor and assign of the Company. Grantee’s obligations hereunder shall not be assignable to any other person or entity. It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the benefits of any appreciation of the underlying Common Stock during the term of the Award shall be preserved in any event, including but not limited to a recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off or similar transaction, or other change in corporate structure affecting the Shares, as more fully described in [[Sections 4.6 and 11]1]]1] of the Plan. All obligations imposed upon Grantee and all rights granted to Grantee and to the Company shall be binding upon Grantee's heirs and legal representatives.

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.

Prior to the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall have agreed on an estimate of the Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time on the Closing Date (the “Preliminary Net Working Capital”), which Preliminary Net Working Capital is set forth as [Schedule 2.2(a)] hereto and reflects each of the components to be included in the Net Working Capital calculation as agreed to by the Parties. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Closing Consideration has been decreased by an amount equal to the Preliminary Net Working Capital.

Adjustment of Shares. In the event of any change with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Restricted Stock Units may be adjusted in accordance with [Section 9] of the Plan.
