4. Stock Subject to Plan.

(b) The number and kind of shares authorized for issuance hereunder, including the maximum number of Shares subject to Options or SARs as provided in Section 4(d) below, shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, extraordinary dividend, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase Stock at a price substantially below Fair Market Value or other similar equity restructuring event.
