In the event of a Change in Control, a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company or other reorganization of the Company (each, a " Covered Transaction "), if the successor corporation, or a parent of the successor corporation, does not assume each outstanding Award or substitute the Award with an equivalent option or right (or if the Company is the surviving entity in the Covered Transaction, the Covered Transaction does not result in a continuation of the Award by the Company), any of the foregoing of which may be done on an Award-by-Award basis, then a Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Award as to all of the Stock as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, and all restrictions and conditions outstanding on the Award shall be met. If an Award becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Covered Transaction (or in lieu of continuation of the outstanding Award by the Company if the Company is the surviving entity in the Covered Transaction), then the Committee shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Award shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Award shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For purposes of this Section 11.2 , the Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Covered Transaction, the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each share of Stock subject to the Award immediately prior to the Covered Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Covered Transaction for each share of Stock held on the effective date of the Covered Transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Stock); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Covered Transaction is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, then the Committee may, with the consent of the successor corporation or its parent, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Award, for each share of Stock subject to the Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Stock in the Covered Transaction.
