(iii) If the meeting at which the Committee determines achievement of any performance goal occurs after the relevant date specified on Schedule A with respect to such performance goal, vesting or forfeiture of such Stock attributable to such performance goal shall be deemed to occur on the date of such meeting.
(b) For the purposes of this Agreement, the continuous employment of the Grantee with the Company or a Subsidiary shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and the Grantee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, by reason of (A) the transfer of the Grantee’s employment among the Company and its Subsidiaries or (B) an approved leave of absence.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(a) hereof, all of the Stock covered by this Agreement shall become immediately vested and nonforfeitable upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company that occurs while the

8. Adjustments. The Committee shall make any adjustments in the number or kind of shares of stock or other securities covered by this Agreement that the Committee may determine to be equitably required to prevent any dilution or enlargement of the Grantee’s rights under this Agreement that would result from any (a) stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company, (b) merger, consolidation, spin-off, spin-out, split-off, split-up, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or (c) other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing.

Any economic or other benefit to the Grantee under this Agreement shall not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any profit-sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by the Company or a Subsidiary and shall not affect the amount of any life insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under any life insurance plan covering employees of the Company or a Subsidiary.
12. Agreement Subject to the Plan. The Stock covered by this Agreement and all of the terms and conditions hereof are subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

In the event that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof will continue to be valid and fully enforceable.
