(a) Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, will adjust the number and class of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of Shares covered by each outstanding Award; provided, however, that the Administrator will make such adjustments to the extent required by Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code to the extent the Company is relying upon the exemption afforded thereby with respect to the Award.
(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction.

(c) Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the successor corporation, or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation, will assume or provide an equivalent substitute award for each outstanding Award and, if applicable, Shares of Restricted Stock acquired pursuant thereto.

With respect to Awards, and, if applicable, Shares of Restricted Stock acquired pursuant thereto, granted to non-employee Directors that are assumed or substituted for, if on the date of or following such assumption or substitution the Participant’s status as a Director or a director of the successor corporation, as applicable, is terminated other than upon a voluntary resignation by the Participant, then the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise Awards as to all of the Shares subject thereto, including Shares as to which such Award would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, and all restrictions on Restricted Stock will lapse.
With respect to Awards, and, if applicable, Shares of Restricted Stock acquired pursuant thereto, that are assumed or substituted for, (1) if the Participant remains continuously employed by the Company or a successor from the date of a Change in Control through the one year anniversary of such Change in Control, then the Participant will vest as to the Shares that would have otherwise vested within one year after the date of such anniversary, and (2) if the
