Related to Certain Adjustments Disputes

• Certain Adjustments The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

• ADJUSTMENT OF DISPUTES The Employer and the Union recognize that grievances may arise in each of the following circumstances:

• Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization As used herein, the term "Adjustment Event" means an event pursuant to which the outstanding shares of the Company are increased, decreased or changed into, or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities, without receipt of consideration by the Company, through reorganization, merger, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, stock consolidation or otherwise. The term "Adjustment Event" shall also mean to include: (i) any issuance by the Company of the Company's securities (excluding securities issued to the Company's employees, directors, consultants and others similarly situtated) below fair market value for such securities as determined at the time of issuance; and (ii) any issuance at a price below the purchase price per Share for the common stock underlying the Options, as adjusted. Upon the occurrence of an Adjustment Event, (i) appropriate and proportionate adjustments shall be made to the number and kind and exercise price for the shares subject to the Options, and (ii) appropriate amendments to this Agreement shall be executed by the Company and the Optionee if the Board of Directors in good faith determines that such an amendment is necessary or desirable to reflect such adjustments. If determined by the Board of Directors to be appropriate, in the event of an Adjustment Event which involves the substitution of securities of a corporation other than the Company, the Board of Directors shall make arrangements for the assumptions by such other corporation of the Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such adjustment to the Options shall be made without change in the total exercise price applicable to the unexercised portion of the Options, but with an appropriate adjustment to the number of shares, kind of shares and exercise price for each share subject to the Options. The good faith determination by the Board of Directors as to what adjustments, amendments or arrangements shall be made pursuant to this Section, and the extent thereof, shall be final and conclusive, provided that the Options herein are adjusted in a manner that is no less favorable than the manner of adjustment used as to any other options issued by the Company to its employees, directors, consultants or in any transaction. No fractional Shares shall be issued on account of any such adjustment or arrangement.

• Adjustments Upon Certain Events In the event of any change in the outstanding Shares by reason of any Share dividend or split, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, amalgamation, spin-off or combination transaction or exchange of Shares or other similar events (collectively, an “Adjustment Event”), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, adjust any Shares or RSUs subject to this Agreement to reflect such Adjustment Event.

• Capitalization Adjustments The number of Shares subject to the Option and the exercise price per Share shall be equitably and appropriately adjusted as provided in Section 12.2 of the Plan.

• Certain Calculations and Tests (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to Sections 1.10(b) and (c) and Section 1.11, all financial ratios and tests (including the Total Leverage Ratio, the First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Secured Leverage Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio and the amount of Consolidated Total Assets and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA) contained in this Agreement that are calculated with respect to any Test Period during which any Subject Transaction occurs shall be calculated with respect to such Test Period and each such Subject Transaction on a Pro Forma Basis. Further, if since the beginning of any such Test Period and on or prior to the date of any required calculation of any financial ratio or test (i) any Subject Transaction has occurred or (ii) any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any joint venture since the beginning of such Test Period has consummated any Subject Transaction, then, in each case, any applicable financial ratio or test shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis for such Test Period as if such Subject Transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that solely for purposes of (x) calculating compliance with Section 6.12(a) and (y) calculating the First Lien Leverage Ratio for purposes of the definitions of “Applicable Rate” and “Commitment Fee Rate”, in each case, no Subject Transaction occurring after the end of the relevant Test Period shall be taken into account). (b) For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.12(a), any First Lien Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Leverage Ratio test, any Total Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test, the amount of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and/or Consolidated Total Assets), such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken (subject to Section 1.11), such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement (including any covenant or the definition of “Incremental Cap”) that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.12(a), any First Lien Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Leverage Ratio test, any Total Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement (including any covenant or the definition of “Incremental Cap”) that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.12(a), any First Lien Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Leverage Ratio test, any Total Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts.

• ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, ETC (a) In the event of any change in Issuer Common Stock by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, split-up, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction, the type and number of shares or securities subject to the Option and the Purchase Price therefor shall be adjusted appropriately, and proper provision shall be made in the agreements governing such transaction so that Holder shall receive, upon exercise of the Option, the number and class of shares or other securities or property that Holder would have received in respect of Issuer Common Stock if the Option had been exercised immediately prior to such event, or the record date therefor, as applicable. If any additional shares of Issuer Common Stock are issued after the date of this Agreement (other than pursuant to an event described in the first sentence of this Section 7(a)), the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock subject to the Option shall be adjusted so that, after such issuance, it, when added to the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock previously issued pursuant hereto, equals 19.9% of the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock then issued and outstanding, without giving effect to any shares subject to or issued pursuant to the Option. (b) In the event that Issuer shall enter into an agreement (prior to termination of the Option pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof): (i) to consolidate with or merge into any person, other than Grantee or one of its Subsidiaries, and Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger; (ii) to permit any person, other than Grantee or one of its Subsidiaries, to merge into Issuer, and Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving corporation, but, in connection with such merger, the then outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock shall be changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of Issuer or any other person or cash or any other property or the outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock immediately prior to such merger shall after such merger represent less than 50% of the outstanding shares and share equivalents of the merged company; (iii) to permit any person, other than Grantee or one of its Subsidiaries, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock pursuant to a statutory share exchange; or (iv) to sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any person, other than Grantee or one of its Subsidiaries, then, and in each such case, the agreement governing such transaction shall make proper provisions so that the Option shall, upon the consummation of any such transaction and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, be converted into, or exchanged for, an option (the "Substitute Option"), at the election of Grantee, deemed granted by either (x) the Acquiring Corporation (as defined below), (y) any person that controls the Acquiring Corporation, or (z) in the case of a merger described in clause (ii), the Issuer (in each case, such person being referred to as the "Substitute Option Issuer"). (c) The Substitute Option shall have the same terms as the Option, provided that, if the terms of the Substitute Option cannot, for legal reasons, be identical to those of the Option, such terms shall be as similar as possible and in no event less advantageous to Grantee. The Substitute Option Issuer shall also enter into an agreement with the then-holder or holders of the Substitute Option in substantially the same form as this Agreement, which agreement shall be applicable to the Substitute Option. (d) The Substitute Option shall be exercisable for such number of shares of the Substitute Common Stock (as hereinafter defined) as is equal to the Assigned Value (as hereinafter defined) multiplied by the number of shares of the Issuer Common Stock for which the Option was theretofore exercisable, divided by the Average Price (as hereinafter defined). The exercise price of the Substitute Option per share of the Substitute Common Stock (the "Substitute Purchase Price") shall then be equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by a fraction in which the numerator is the number of shares of the Issuer Common Stock for which the Option was theretofore exercisable and the denominator is the number of shares for which the Substitute Option is exercisable. (e) The following terms have the meanings indicated:

• Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization (a) In the event of any change in Company Common Stock by reason of stock dividends, splits, mergers (other than the Merger), recapitalizations, combinations, exchange of shares or the like, the type and number of shares or securities subject to the Company Option, and the Exercise Price per share, shall be adjusted appropriately, and proper provision shall be made in the agreements governing such transaction so that Parent shall receive, upon exercise of the Company Option, the number and class of shares or other securities or property that Parent would have received in respect of the Company Common Stock if the Company Option had been exercised immediately prior to such event or the record date therefor, as applicable. If additional shares of Company Common Stock are issued after the date of this Agreement (other than pursuant to an event described in the first sentence of this Section 9(a)), the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Option will be adjusted so that it equals 19.99% of the number of shares of Company Common Stock then issued and outstanding, without giving effect to any shares subject to or issued pursuant to the Company Option. (b) In the event that Company shall enter in an agreement: (i) to consolidate with or merge into any person, other than Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger; (ii) to permit any person, other than Parent or one of its subsidiaries, to merge into Company and Company shall be the continuing or surviving corporation, but, in connection with such merger, the then-outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall be changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of Company or any other person or cash or any other property or the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such merger shall after such merger represent less than 50% of the outstanding shares and share equivalents of the merged company; or (iii) to sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any person, other than Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, then, and in each such case, the agreement governing such transaction shall make proper provision so that upon the consummation of any such transaction and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Parent shall receive for each Company Share with respect to which the Company Option has not been exercised an amount of consideration in the form of and equal to the per share amount of consideration that would be received by the holder of one share of Company Common Stock less the Exercise Price (and, in the event of an election or similar arrangement with respect to the type of consideration to be received by the holders of Company Common Stock, subject to the foregoing, proper provision shall be made so that the holder of the Company Option would have the same election or similar rights as would the holder of the number of shares of Company Common Stock for which the Company Option is then exercisable).

• Certain Calculations Unless otherwise specified herein, the following provisions shall apply: (a) All calculations of interest with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be made in accordance with the terms of the related Note and Mortgage. (b) For purposes of distribution of Yield Maintenance Charges pursuant to Section 4.01(d) of this Agreement on any Distribution Date, the Class of Non-Vertically Retained Principal Balance Certificates as to which the Non-Vertically Retained Percentage of any prepayment shall be deemed to be distributed shall be determined on the assumption that the portion of the Principal Distribution Amount paid to the Non-Vertically Retained Principal Balance Certificates on such Distribution Date in respect of principal shall consist first of the Non-Vertically Retained Percentage of scheduled payments included in the definition of Principal Distribution Amount and second of the Non-Vertically Retained Percentage of prepayments included in such definition. (c) Any Mortgage Loan payment is deemed to be received by the Trust Fund on the date such payment is actually received by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating distributions on the Certificates, Principal Prepayments with respect to any Mortgage Loan are deemed to be received on the date they are applied in accordance with Section 3.01(b) of this Agreement to reduce the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan on which interest accrues. (d) For purposes of calculating distributions on the Certificates and the Uncertificated VRR Interest and, in the absence of express provisions in the related Loan Documents (and/or, with respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Outside Servicing Agreement) to the contrary, for purposes of otherwise collecting amounts due under a Mortgage Loan, all amounts collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of any Mortgage Loan in the form of payments from the related Mortgagor, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds (excluding, if applicable, in the case of each Serviced Loan Combination, any amounts payable to the holder(s) of the related Companion Loan(s) pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement) shall be deemed to be allocated in the following order of priority: (i) as a recovery of any unreimbursed Advances (including any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount) with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, and unpaid interest at the Advance Rate on such Advances and, if applicable, unreimbursed and unpaid expenses of the Trust with respect to the related Mortgage Loan; (ii) as a recovery of Nonrecoverable Advances with respect to the related Mortgage Loan and any interest on those Nonrecoverable Advances at the Advance Rate, to the extent previously paid or reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Pool (as described in the first proviso in the definition of “Aggregate Principal Distribution Amount”); (iii) to the extent not previously so allocated pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan (exclusive of Default Interest and Excess Interest) to the extent of the excess of (A) all unpaid interest (exclusive of Default Interest and Excess Interest) accrued on such Mortgage Loan at the related Mortgage Rate in effect from time to time through the end of the applicable Mortgage Loan interest accrual period, over (B) after taking into account any allocations pursuant to clause (v) below on earlier dates, the aggregate portion of the accrued and unpaid interest described in subclause (A) of this clause (iii) that either (1) was not advanced because of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have theretofore occurred under Section 4.06(a) of this Agreement in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (2) accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made; (iv) to the extent not previously so allocated pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, as a recovery of principal of such Mortgage Loan then due and owing, including by reason of acceleration of such Mortgage Loan following a default thereunder (or, if the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated, as a recovery of principal to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal balance); (v) as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan (exclusive of Default Interest and Excess Interest) to the extent of the sum of (A) the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have theretofore occurred under Section 4.06(a) of this Agreement in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts, plus (B) any unpaid interest (exclusive of Default Interest and Excess Interest) that accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made (to the extent that collections have not been allocated as recovery of such accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to this clause (v) on earlier dates); (vi) as a recovery of amounts to be currently allocated to the payment of, or escrowed for the future payment of, real estate taxes, assessments and insurance premiums and similar items relating to such Mortgage Loan; (vii) as a recovery of any other reserves to the extent then required to be held in escrow with respect to such Mortgage Loan; (viii) as a recovery of any Yield Maintenance Charge then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan; (ix) as a recovery of any late payment charges and Default Interest then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan; (x) as a recovery of any Assumption Fees, assumption application fees and Modification Fees then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan; (xi) as a recovery of any other amounts then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan other than remaining unpaid principal and other than, if applicable, accrued and unpaid Excess Interest (and, if both Consent Fees and Operating Advisor Consulting Fees are due and owing, first, allocated to Consent Fees and, then, allocated to Operating Advisor Consulting Fees); (xii) as a recovery of any remaining principal of such Mortgage Loan to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal balance; and (xiii) in the case of an ARD Mortgage Loan after the related Anticipated Repayment Date, as a recovery of any accrued but unpaid Excess Interest; provided that, to the extent required under the REMIC Provisions, payments or proceeds received (or receivable by exercise of the lender’s rights under the related Loan Documents) with respect to any partial release of a Mortgaged Property (including following a condemnation) at a time when the loan-to-value ratio of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, exceeds 125%, or would exceed 125% following any partial release (based solely on the value of the real property and excluding personal property and going concern value, if any) must be collected and allocated to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or the related Serviced Loan Combination in the manner permitted by the REMIC Provisions. (e) Collections by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of any REO Property (exclusive of amounts to be allocated to the payment of the costs of operating, managing, leasing, maintaining and disposing of such REO Property and, if applicable, in the case of each Serviced Loan Combination, exclusive of any amounts payable to the holder(s) of the related Companion Loan(s) pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement) shall be deemed to be allocated for purposes of calculating distributions on the Certificates and (subject to any related Co-Lender Agreement and/or Outside Servicing Agreement) for purposes of otherwise collecting amounts due under the Mortgage Loan in the following order of priority: (i) as a recovery of any unreimbursed Advances (including any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount) with respect to the related REO Mortgage Loan and interest at the Advance Rate on all Advances and, if applicable, unreimbursed and unpaid expenses of the Trust with respect to the related REO Mortgage Loan; (ii) as a recovery of any Nonrecoverable Advances with respect to the related REO Mortgage Loan and any interest on those Nonrecoverable Advances at the Advance Rate, to the extent previously paid or reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (as described in the first proviso in the definition of “Aggregate Principal Distribution Amount”); (iii) to the extent not previously so allocated pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on the related REO Mortgage Loan (exclusive of Default Interest and Excess Interest) to the extent of the excess of (A) all unpaid interest (exclusive of Default Interest and Excess Interest) accrued on such REO Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Rate in effect from time to time through the end of the applicable Mortgage Loan interest accrual period, over (B) after taking into account any allocations pursuant to clause (v) below or clause (v) of Section 1.02(d) above on earlier dates, the aggregate portion of the accrued and unpaid interest described in subclause (A) of this clause (iii) that either (1) was not advanced because of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for the related REO Mortgage Loan that have theretofore occurred under Section 4.06(a) of this Agreement in connection with Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (2) accrued at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such REO Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made; (iv) to the extent not previously so allocated pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, as a recovery of principal of the related REO Mortgage Loan to the extent of its entire unpaid principal balance; (v) as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on the related REO Mortgage Loan (exclusive of Default Interest and Excess Interest) to the extent of the sum of (A) the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such REO Mortgage Loan that have theretofore occurred under Section 4.06(a) of this Agreement in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts, plus (B) any unpaid interest (exclusive of Default Interest and Excess Interest) that accrued at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such REO Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made (to the extent that collections have not theretofore been allocated as a recovery of such accrued and unpaid interest on earlier dates pursuant to this clause (v) or clause (v) of Section 1.02(d) above); (vi) as a recovery of any Yield Maintenance Charge then due and owing under the related REO Mortgage Loan; (vii) as a recovery of any late payment charges and Default Interest then due and owing under the related REO Mortgage Loan; (viii) as a recovery of any Assumption Fees, assumption application fees and Modification Fees then due and owing under the related REO Mortgage Loan; (ix) as a recovery of any other amounts then due and owing under the related REO Mortgage Loan other than, if applicable, accrued and unpaid Excess Interest (and, if both Consent Fees and Operating Advisor Consulting Fees are due and owing, first, allocated to Consent Fees and, then, allocated to Operating Advisor Consulting Fees); and (x) in the case of an ARD Mortgage Loan after the related Anticipated Repayment Date, as a recovery of any accrued but unpaid Excess Interest. (f) The applications of amounts received in respect of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 1.02 shall be determined by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The applications of amounts received in respect of any Mortgage Loan or any REO Property pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 1.02 shall be determined by the Special Servicer (unless such Mortgage Loan is, or such REO Property relates to, an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, in which case such applications shall be determined by the Master Servicer) in accordance with the Servicing Standard. (g) All net present value calculations and determinations made hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Serviced Companion Loans or a Mortgaged Property or REO Property (including for purposes of the definition of “Servicing Standard”, and including, if and when applicable, with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property or any related REO Property) shall be made using the Calculation Rate. (h) For purposes of calculating Pass-Through Rates (where applicable) and distributions on, and allocations of applicable Realized Losses (where applicable) to, the Certificates and the Uncertificated VRR Interest, as well as for purposes of calculating the Servicing Fee, the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee, the Operating Advisor Fee and the Asset Representations Reviewer Ongoing Fee payable each month, each REO Property (including any REO Property with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan held pursuant to an Outside Servicing Agreement) will be treated as if the related Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan(s) had remained outstanding and the related Loan Documents continued in full force and effect; and all references to “Mortgage Loan,” “Mortgage Loans” or “Mortgage Pool” (or any other capitalized terms of which such terms are a part) in this Agreement, when used in that context, will be deemed to also be references to or to also include, as the case may be, any related REO Mortgage Loan, and all references to “Companion Loan” or “Companion Loans” (or any other capitalized terms of which such terms are a part) in this Agreement, when used in that context, will be deemed to also be references to or to also include, as the case may be, any related REO Companion Loan. Each REO Loan will generally be deemed to have the same characteristics as its actual predecessor Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, including the same fixed Mortgage Rate (and, accordingly, the same Net Mortgage Rate) and the same unpaid principal balance and Stated Principal Balance. Amounts due on the predecessor Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, including any portion of those amounts payable or reimbursable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, will continue to be “due” in respect of the REO Loan; and amounts received in respect of the related REO Property, net of payments to be made, or reimbursements to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for payments previously advanced, in connection with the operation and management of that property, generally will be applied by the Master Servicer as if received on the predecessor Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable.

• ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, in the event of any change in the Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of payment of a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company in a form other than Stock (other than regular, periodic cash dividends paid on Stock pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy) that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock, appropriate and proportionate adjustments shall be made in the number and kind of shares of stock or other property subject to the Award, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Participant’s rights under the Award. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as “effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.” Any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends paid on Stock pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, subject to Section 5.3) to which Participant is entitled by reason of ownership of shares acquired pursuant to this Award will be immediately subject to the provisions of this Award on the same basis as all shares originally acquired hereunder. Any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Such adjustments shall be determined by the Committee, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.
