No certificates evidencing the ownership of Shares shall be issued except as the Board of Trustees may otherwise determine from time to time.

Company Stock Options At the Effective Time, each Company Stock --------------------- Option shall be deemed to have been assumed by Evergreen, without further action by Evergreen, and shall thereafter be deemed an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Stock Option, that number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock that would have been received in respect of such Company Stock Option if it had been exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (such Company Stock Options assumed by Evergreen, the "Assumed Chancellor Stock Options"); provided, however, that, for -------- ------- each optionholder, (i) the aggregate fair market value of Surviving Corporation Common Stock subject to Assumed Chancellor Stock Options immediately after the Effective Time shall not exceed the aggregate exercise price thereof by more than the excess of the aggregate fair market value of Company Common Stock subject to Company Stock Options immediately before the Effective Time over the aggregate exercise price thereof and (ii) on a share-by-share comparison, the ratio of the exercise price of the Assumed Chancellor Stock Option to the fair market value of the Surviving Corporation Common Stock immediately after the Effective Time is no more favorable to the optionholder than the ratio of the exercise price of the Company Stock Option to the fair market value of the Company Common Stock immediately before the Effective Time; and provided, -------- further, that no fractional shares shall be issued on the exercise of such ------- Assumed Chancellor Stock Option and, in lieu thereof, the holder of such Assumed Chancellor Stock Option shall only be entitled to a cash payment in the amount of such fraction multiplied by the closing price per share of Surviving Corporation Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on the business day immediately prior to the date of such exercise.
Conversion of Stock Options (a) At the Effective Time, each option or other Equity Right to purchase shares of JCN Common Stock pursuant to stock options or stock appreciation rights ("JCN Options") granted by JCN under the JCN Stock Plans, which are outstanding at the Effective Time, whether or not exercisable, shall be converted into and become rights with respect to Highwoods Common Stock, and Highwoods shall assume each JCN Option, in accordance with the terms of the JCN Stock Plan and stock option agreement by which it is evidenced, except that from and after the Effective Time, (i) Highwoods and its Compensation Committee shall be substituted for JCN and the committee of JCN's Board of Directors (including, if applicable, the entire Board of Directors of JCN) administering such JCN Stock Plan, (ii) each JCN Option assumed by Highwoods may be exercised solely for shares of Highwoods Common Stock (or cash, if so provided under the terms of such JCN Option), (iii) the number of shares of Highwoods Common Stock subject to such JCN Option shall be equal to the number of shares of JCN Common Stock subject to such JCN Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, (iv) the per share exercise price under each such JCN Option shall be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price under each such JCN Option by the Exchange Ratio and rounding up to the nearest cent, (v) each JCN Option that would have become fully exercisable under a JCN Stock Plan as a result of a "change in control" will continue to be fully exercisable into shares of Highwoods Common Stock upon consummation of the Merger, and (vi) employment by Highwoods of a JCN employee upon consummation of the Merger will not be deemed a termination of employment by JCN that would limit such employee's rights to exercise any JCN Option under the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, Highwoods shall not be obligated to issue any fraction of a share of Highwoods Common Stock upon exercise of JCN Options and any fraction of a share of Highwoods Common Stock that otherwise would be subject to a converted JCN Option shall represent the right to receive a cash payment upon exercise of such converted JCN Option equal to the product of such fraction and the difference between the market value of one share of Highwoods Common Stock at the time of exercise of such Option and the per share exercise price of such Option. For purposes of this Section 3.7, the market value of one share of Highwoods Common Stock at the time of exercise of a JCN Option shall be the closing price of such common stock on the NYSE-Composite Transactions List (as reported by The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported thereby, any other authoritative source selected by Highwoods) on the last trading day preceding the date of exercise. In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (iii) and (iv) of the first sentence of this Section 3.7, each JCN Option which is an "incentive stock option" shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the option, within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Internal Revenue Code. Each of JCN and Highwoods agrees to take all necessary steps to effectuate the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.7, including using its reasonable efforts to obtain from each holder of a JCN Option any reasonable Consent or Contract that may be deemed reasonably necessary or advisable in order to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 3.7. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Highwoods shall have the right, in its sole discretion, not to deliver the consideration provided in this Section 3.7 to a former holder of a JCN Option who has not delivered such Consent or Contract.
