Substitution and Assumption of Awards. The Committee may make Awards under the Plan by assumption, substitution or replacement of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock units or similar awards granted by another entity (including a Parent or Subsidiary), if such assumption, substitution or replacement is in connection with an asset acquisition, stock acquisition, merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company (and/or its Parent or Subsidiary) and such other entity (and/or its affiliate). The terms of such assumed, substituted or replaced Awards shall be as the Committee, in its discretion, determines is appropriate, notwithstanding limitations on Awards in the Plan. Any such substitute or assumed Awards shall not count against the Share limitation set forth in Section 5(a) (nor shall Shares subject to such Awards be added to the Shares available for Awards under the Plan as provided in Section 5(b) above), except that Shares acquired by exercise of substitute ISOs will count against the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of ISOs under the Plan.

Substitution. Upon at least sixty (60) days prior written notice, Landlord may relocate Tenant within the Project (or to any other facility owned by Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord within the vicinity of the Project) to substitute space. As used in this Paragraph, “substitute space” means space, at Landlord’s sole discretion, containing either # up to 500 square feet more than the square footage set forth in the Basic Lease Information or # which is not more than 15 percent greater or lesser than the square footage set forth in the Basic Lease Information, and which is comparable in utility and condition to the Premises. If Landlord exercises this right to relocate Tenant, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for # Tenant’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for moving Tenant’s furniture, equipment and supplies from the Premises to the substitute space; # the cost of installing leasehold improvements in the substitute space comparable to those in the Premises; # reprinting Tenant’s stationery of the same quality and quantity as Tenant’s stationery supply on hand immediately before Landlord’s exercise of this relocation right. In the event Tenant is relocated pursuant to this Paragraph 21, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in accordance with all terms and conditions of this Lease prior to the termination of the 60-day period and shall promptly upon Landlord’s request execute an amendment or new Lease which shall designate the substitute space as the “Premises” subject to this Lease and adjust the Base Rent and Additional Rent to reflect any increase or decrease in the floor area of the substitute space or, if Tenant is relocated outside the Project, to execute a new lease in substantially the same form as the existing Lease with the affiliate of Landlord.

Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions or limits under the Plan, in the event the Company or an Affiliate acquires (whether by purchase, merger or otherwise) all or substantially all of outstanding capital stock or assets of another corporation or in the event of any reorganization or other transaction qualifying under Section 424 of the Code, the Committee may, in accordance with the provisions of that Section, substitute Options for options under the plan of the acquired company provided # the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the shares subject to an option immediately after the substitution over the aggregate option price of such shares is not more than the similar excess immediately before such substitution and # the new option does not give persons additional benefits, including any extension of the exercise period.

Impact on Certain Awards. Award Agreements may provide that in the event of a Change in Control of the Company: # Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding as of the date of the Change in Control shall be cancelled and terminated without payment therefor if the Fair Market Value of one Share as of the date of the Change in Control is less than the per Share Option exercise price or Stock Appreciation Right grant price, and # all Performance Awards shall be considered to be earned and payable (either in full or pro rata based on the portion of Performance Period completed as of the date of the Change in Control and either based on achievement of target or actual performance during such period), and any limitations or other restriction shall lapse and such Performance Awards shall be immediately settled or distributed.
