The General Partner may implement such plans and any actions taken under such plans (such as the grant or exercise of options to acquire REIT Shares, or the issuance of restricted REIT Shares), whether taken with respect to or by an employee or other service provider of the General Partner, the Partnership or its Subsidiaries, in a manner determined by the General Partner, which may be set forth in plan implementation guidelines that the General Partner may establish or amend from time to time. The Partners acknowledge and agree that, in the event that any such plan is adopted, modified or terminated by the General Partner, amendments to this Agreement may become necessary or advisable and that any approval or Consent to any such amendments requested by the General Partner shall be deemed granted by the Limited Partners. The Partnership is expressly authorized to issue Partnership Units (i) in accordance with the terms of any such stock incentive plans, or (ii) in an amount equal to the number of REIT Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities issued pursuant to any such stock incentive plans, without any further act, approval or vote of any Partner or any other Persons.

Acceleration of Stock Options The Company shall accelerate and make immediately exercisable any and all unmatured stock options (whether or not such stock options are otherwise exercisable) which Executive then holds to acquire securities from the Company; provided, however, that Executive shall have ninety (90) days after such termination of employment to exercise any outstanding stock options and after such ninety (90) days any and all unexpired stock options shall lapse; and, provided, further, however, any tax benefit provisions with respect to any stock options shall apply to any and all unmatured stock options (whether or not such stock options are otherwise exercisable). If as a result of such acceleration of incentive stock options the $100,000 limitation would be exceeded with respect to an optionee, such incentive stock options shall be converted, as of the date such incentive stock options become exercisable, to non-qualified stock options to the extent necessary to comply with the $100,000 limitation and the Company shall pay to such optionee an additional cash payment equal to the tax benefit to be received by the Company attributable to its federal income tax deduction resulting from the exercise of such converted non-qualified stock options.
Conversion of Stock Options (a) At the Effective Time, each option or other Equity Right to purchase shares of JCN Common Stock pursuant to stock options or stock appreciation rights ("JCN Options") granted by JCN under the JCN Stock Plans, which are outstanding at the Effective Time, whether or not exercisable, shall be converted into and become rights with respect to Highwoods Common Stock, and Highwoods shall assume each JCN Option, in accordance with the terms of the JCN Stock Plan and stock option agreement by which it is evidenced, except that from and after the Effective Time, (i) Highwoods and its Compensation Committee shall be substituted for JCN and the committee of JCN's Board of Directors (including, if applicable, the entire Board of Directors of JCN) administering such JCN Stock Plan, (ii) each JCN Option assumed by Highwoods may be exercised solely for shares of Highwoods Common Stock (or cash, if so provided under the terms of such JCN Option), (iii) the number of shares of Highwoods Common Stock subject to such JCN Option shall be equal to the number of shares of JCN Common Stock subject to such JCN Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, (iv) the per share exercise price under each such JCN Option shall be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price under each such JCN Option by the Exchange Ratio and rounding up to the nearest cent, (v) each JCN Option that would have become fully exercisable under a JCN Stock Plan as a result of a "change in control" will continue to be fully exercisable into shares of Highwoods Common Stock upon consummation of the Merger, and (vi) employment by Highwoods of a JCN employee upon consummation of the Merger will not be deemed a termination of employment by JCN that would limit such employee's rights to exercise any JCN Option under the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, Highwoods shall not be obligated to issue any fraction of a share of Highwoods Common Stock upon exercise of JCN Options and any fraction of a share of Highwoods Common Stock that otherwise would be subject to a converted JCN Option shall represent the right to receive a cash payment upon exercise of such converted JCN Option equal to the product of such fraction and the difference between the market value of one share of Highwoods Common Stock at the time of exercise of such Option and the per share exercise price of such Option. For purposes of this Section 3.7, the market value of one share of Highwoods Common Stock at the time of exercise of a JCN Option shall be the closing price of such common stock on the NYSE-Composite Transactions List (as reported by The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported thereby, any other authoritative source selected by Highwoods) on the last trading day preceding the date of exercise. In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (iii) and (iv) of the first sentence of this Section 3.7, each JCN Option which is an "incentive stock option" shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the option, within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Internal Revenue Code. Each of JCN and Highwoods agrees to take all necessary steps to effectuate the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.7, including using its reasonable efforts to obtain from each holder of a JCN Option any reasonable Consent or Contract that may be deemed reasonably necessary or advisable in order to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 3.7. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Highwoods shall have the right, in its sole discretion, not to deliver the consideration provided in this Section 3.7 to a former holder of a JCN Option who has not delivered such Consent or Contract.
