Adjustment in Capitalization In the event of any change in the Common Stock through stock dividends or stock splits, a corporate split-off or split-up, or recapitalization, merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, or a similar event, the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee.
Change in Capitalization (a) The number and kind of Restricted Shares shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a subdivision or combination of shares or the payment of a stock dividend in shares of Common Stock to holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. No fractional shares shall be issued in making such adjustment. All adjustments made by the Committee under this Section shall be final, binding, and conclusive.
(b) In the event of a merger, consolidation, extraordinary dividend (including a spin-off), reorganization, recapitalization, sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets, other change in the capital structure of the Company, tender offer for shares of Common Stock or a Change in Control, an appropriate adjustment may be made with respect to the Restricted Shares such that other securities, cash or other property may be substituted for the Common Stock held by Share Custodian or recorded in book entry form pursuant to this Award.
(c) The existence of the Plan and the Restricted Stock Award shall not affect the right or power of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, reclassification, reorganization or other change in its capital or business structure, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity securities having preferences or priorities as to the Common Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any sale or transfer of all or part of its business or assets, or any other corporate act or proceeding.
Changes in Capitalization Subject to any required action by the stockholders of Connetics, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Option as well as the Exercise Price shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by Connetics; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of Connetics shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided in this Option Agreement, no issuance by Connetics of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.
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).
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:

(e) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement relating to the voting of, requiring registration of, or granting any preemptive rights, anti-dilutive rights or rights of first refusal or other similar rights with respect to any securities of the Company.
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.
Changes in Capital Stock If, and as often as, there is any change in the capital stock of the Company by way of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through a merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof so that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue as so changed.
Equity Capitalization As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i) 10,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value, 2,693,370 of which are issued and outstanding and (ii) 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value, of which 7,000,000 shares have been designated as Series C Preferred Stock, 6,825,780 of which are issued and outstanding, and 30,000,000 have been designated as Series D Preferred Stock, 21,841,930.34 of which are issued and outstanding. All of such outstanding shares have been, or upon issuance will be, validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(n) or Schedule 3(o): (i) none of the Company’s share capital is subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights or any liens or encumbrances suffered or permitted by the Company; (ii) there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any share capital of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound to issue additional share capital of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any share capital of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) there are no outstanding debt securities, notes, credit agreements, credit facilities or other agreements, documents or instruments evidencing Indebtedness (as defined in Section 3(o) hereof) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound; (iv) there are no financing statements securing obligations in any material amounts, either singly or in the aggregate, filed in connection with the Company; (v) there are no agreements or arrangements under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to register the sale of any of their securities under the 1933 Act (except the Registration Rights Agreement); (vi) there are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which contain any redemption or similar provisions, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound to redeem a security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (vii) there are no securities or instruments containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be triggered by the issuance of the Securities; (viii) the Company does not have any stock appreciation rights or “phantom stock” plans or agreements or any similar plan or agreement; (ix) all of the Company’s outstanding options and warrants shall be cancelled at Closing; and (x) no securities of the Company or PubCo are listed or quoted on any stock exchange or automated quotation system. Immediately after giving effect to the Merger and the Share Exchange (as such terms are defined in Section 7(n) hereof), (i) all of the Company’s issued and outstanding stock shall be owned by PubCo and (ii) all other securities issued by the Company (including, without limitation, the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series D Preferred Stock and any securities disclosed in Schedule 3(n)) shall have been exchanged for shares of PubCo’s Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Common Stock”), PubCo’s Class B Common Stock (the “Class B Common Stock”), or PubCo’s Common Stock, as applicable. The Company has furnished to the Buyer true, correct and complete copies of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and as in effect on the date hereof (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), the Company’s Bylaws, as amended and as in effect on the date hereof (the “Bylaws”), and all agreements relating to securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock and the material rights of the holders thereof in respect thereto.
Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock If the Company:
(1) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock;
(2) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares;
(3) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares;
(4) makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its capital stock other than Common Stock; or
(5) issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of its capital stock; then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action and the number and kind of shares into which a Warrant is exercisable shall all be adjusted appropriately so that the holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised may receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such action. The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If after an adjustment a holder of a Warrant upon exercise of it may receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Price between the classes of capital stock. After such allocation, the exercise privilege and the Exercise Price of each class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Section. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
