Effect on Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards. In addition to any acceleration provisions expressly provided in the applicable option agreement, stock restriction agreement or any other agreement between a Participant and [[Organization A:Organization]] in respect of an Award, upon consummation of an Acquisition (as defined below), the Board shall have the authority to accelerate the date(s) that # any outstanding Options shall become exercisable, # any Restricted Stock Awards then outstanding shall become free of repurchase provisions, and # any other stock-based Awards shall become exercisable, realizable or vested, or shall become free of repurchase provisions, as the case may be. Upon consummation of an Acquisition, the Board or the board of directors of the surviving or acquiring entity (as used in this Section 7(e)(i)(A), also the “Board”), shall, as to such outstanding Awards (on the same basis or on different bases, as the Board shall specify), make appropriate provision for the continuation of such Awards by [[Organization A:Organization]] or the assumption of such Awards by the surviving or acquiring entity and by substituting on an equitable basis for the shares then subject to such Awards either # the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition, # shares of stock of the surviving or acquiring corporation or # such other securities as the Board deems appropriate, the fair market value of which (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) shall not materially differ from the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Awards immediately preceding the Acquisition. In addition to or in lieu of the foregoing, with respect to outstanding Options, the Board may, upon written notice to the affected Participants, provide that one or more Options then outstanding shall become immediately exercisable in full and that such Options must be exercised within a specified number of days of the date of such notice, at the end of which period such Options shall terminate; or provide that one or more Options then outstanding shall become immediately exercisable in full and shall be terminated in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of the fair market value (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) for the shares subject to such Options over the exercise price thereof.

Awards Not Exercised; Effect of Receipt of Shares. If any outstanding Award or portion thereof, expires, or is terminated, canceled or forfeited, the Shares that would otherwise be issuable or released from restrictions with respect to the unexercised or non-Vested portion of such expired, terminated, canceled or forfeited Award shall be available for subsequent Awards under this Plan. If the Exercise Price of an Award is paid in Shares, or if Shares are withheld by the Company to cover a Participant’s tax obligations with respect to an Award pursuant to Section 15.1 or 15.2 of the Plan, the Shares received by the Company in connection therewith shall not be added to the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be issued under Section 3.1. Where Stock Appreciation Rights are settled by delivery of Shares, the actual number of Shares delivered to the Participant shall be counted against the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be issued under Section 3.1.

Substitute Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 5 to the contrary, in the case of an Option that is a Substitute Award, the price per Share of the Shares subject to such Option may be less than the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant; provided, however, that the exercise price of any Substitute Award shall be determined in accordance with the applicable requirements of Sections 424 and 409A of the Code.

The Administrator is authorized to grant Performance Awards to any Eligible Individual. The value of Performance Awards may be linked to any one or more of the Performance Criteria or other specific criteria determined by the Administrator, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator.

Equity Awards. The Market Capital Milestones set forth in [Exhibit A] to the Agreement, and the Stock Compensation set forth in [Exhibit B] to the Agreement as the same relate to annual awards based on 50% of the Executive’s base salary, are deleted in their entirety. The Financial Milestones set forth in [Exhibit A] shall remain in full force and effect. The parties agree and acknowledge that, as a result of the foregoing, the equity compensation owed, owing or to be issued to the Executive as a result of the achievement of the Market Capitalization Milestones, or annual awards based on 50% of the Executive’s base salary, are void, and shall terminate and be of no force and effect.
