(c) Changes in Company Structure. In the event there is any change in the capital
structure of the Company (including but not limited to a consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or Change in Control), the Awards of Participants may be adjusted by the Administrator to the extent deemed necessary in order to preserve the
economic benefit associated with such Awards in effect immediately before any such change in the capital structure. In addition, in the event of a change in the capital structure, except as otherwise provided in a Participation Agreement, the
Administrator, acting in its sole discretion without the consent or approval of any Participant, may take any of the following additional actions with respect to outstanding Awards:
(i) Accelerate vesting or payment, waive forfeiture conditions, or otherwise modify or adjust any other condition or limitation
regarding an Award;
(ii) Convert an outstanding Award into a transaction-based Award, with any such transaction-based
Award being subject to such terms and conditions (including but not limited to terms relating to vesting, payment, and Award value) that the Administrator deems appropriate;
(iii) Cancel Awards that remain subject to a restricted period as of the date of such event without payment of any
consideration to the Participant for such Awards; or
(iv) Make such adjustments to Awards then outstanding as the
Administrator deems appropriate to reflect such event (including the substitution, assumption, or continuation of Awards by any successor company or a parent or subsidiary thereof);
provided, however, that the maximum amount paid under this Plan to all Participants shall not exceed the Award Pool specified in Section 2(d).
(d) Successors. The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns. The term
successors as used in this Plan shall include any corporation or other business entity which shall by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise, acquire all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Company, and
successors of any such corporations or other business entities. Where appropriate, the term Company as used in this Plan shall include any successor that assumes the Plan.
(e) Nontransferability of Awards. A Participant shall not have the right to alienate, pledge, or encumber his or her interest in the
Plan, and such interest shall not (to the extent permitted by law) be subject in any way to the claims of the Participants creditors or to attachment, execution or other process of law.
(f) Receipt and Release. Any payment to any Participant in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be
in full satisfaction of all claims against the Company and the Administrator under the Plan, and the Administrator may require such Participant, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect. If any
Participant is determined by the Administrator to be incompetent, by reason of physical or mental disability, to give a valid receipt and release, the Administrator may cause the payment or payments becoming due to such person to be made to another
person for the Participants benefit without responsibility on the part of the Administrator or the Company to follow the application of such funds.
(g) Limitation on Rights Conferred Under Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder will be construed as:
(i) giving any Participant the right to continue as a Participant or in the employ or service of the Company or its
subsidiaries;
(ii) interfering in any way with the right of the Company or its subsidiaries to terminate any
Participants employment or service at any time; or
