If the outstanding securities of the class then subject to this Plan are increased, decreased or exchanged for or converted into cash, property or a different number or kind of shares or securities, or if cash, property or shares or securities are distributed in respect of such outstanding securities, in either case as a result of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, restructuring, reclassification, dividend (other than a regular, quarterly cash dividend) or other distribution, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off or the like, or if substantially all of the property and assets of the Company are sold, then, unless the terms of such transaction shall provide otherwise, the Committee shall make appropriate and proportionate adjustments in (a) the number and type of shares or other securities or cash or other property that may be acquired pursuant to Awards theretofore granted under this Plan and the exercise or settlement price of such Awards, provided, however, that such adjustment shall be made in such a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A and that will not affect the status of any Award intended to qualify as an ISO under Code Section 422 or as “performance based compensation” under Code Section 162(m) and (b) the maximum number and type of shares or other securities that may be issued pursuant to such Awards thereafter granted under this Plan.

(b)           The terms of the Restated 2004 Plan, these standard terms and conditions and the Option Agreement together constitute the “Option Document” contemplated by the Restated 2004 Plan, and the interpretation and construction of the Option Document by the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Optionee.
