a reverse stock split or
combination of shares, the number of Option Shares shall be
proportionately reduced and the exercise price
per share shall be proportionately
increased.

shares or if, because of reorganization,

shares of another company, then the appropriate substitution or exchange
shall be made in the shares subject
to this Option. The Committee may make such adjustments in the number,

Market Value.
