If the Administrative Committee determines that such an appropriate assumption or substitution will be made, it shall give notice of such determination to Optionees under this Plan, and the provisions of such assumption or substitution, amid any adjustments made, (i) to the number and kind of shares subject to the Incentive Stock Options outstanding under this Plan (or to options issued in substitution therefor), (ii) to the Option Prices, and/or (iii) to the terms and conditions of the incentive Stock Options, shall be binding upon such Optionees. If the Administrative Committee determines that no such assumptions or substitution will be made, it shall give notice of such determination to the optionees, whereupon each Optionee shall have the right for period of thirty (30) days following such notice to exercise in full or in part any unexercised or unexpired Incentive Stock Options then held by him or her, without regard to any contingent vesting provision to which such Incentive Stock Options may have otherwise been subject pursuant to Section 5.1(e). Upon the expiration of said period of thirty (30) days, all Incentive Stock Options then outstanding shall expire to the extent not earlier exercised, and this Plan shall terminate.
