Company Option “Company Option” shall mean an option to acquire shares of Company Common Stock from the Company, whether vested or unvested.
Company Options (i) Parent shall not assume any Vested Company Options in connection with the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall take such action as may be necessary so that immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) each Vested Company Option that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and terminated as of the Effective Time and (ii) in consideration of such cancellation and termination, each holder of each such Vested Company Option shall be paid by the Company at or promptly after the Effective Time, subject to Section 3.8(e), an amount in cash (without interest), if any, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Vested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (y) the Offer Price, less the per share exercise price of such Vested Company Option (the “Option Consideration”) (it being understood and agreed that such exercise price shall not actually be paid to the Company by the holder of a Vested Company Option). (ii) In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, but no later than the Effective Time, each Unvested Company Option shall be assumed by Parent (each, an “Assumed Option”). Each such Assumed Option shall, except as otherwise agreed to by Parent and a holder of such Assumed Option, be subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to the related Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the vesting schedule applicable thereto, except that (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Assumed Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Assumed Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Incentive Award Exchange Ratio (with the resulting number rounded down to the nearest whole share), and (ii) the per share exercise price of the Parent Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Assumed Option shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Incentive Award Exchange Ratio, with the resulting price per share rounded up to the nearest whole cent. It is the intention of the parties that each Assumed Option so assumed by Parent shall qualify following the Effective Time as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code and to the extent such Assumed Option qualified as an incentive stock option prior to the Effective Time, and, further, that the assumption of Company Unvested Options pursuant to this Section shall be effected in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Sections 409A and 424(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and this Section 3.7 will be construed consistent with this intent. (iii) With respect to Company Options a portion of which is vested and a portion of which is unvested, this Section 3.7(e) shall be applied by treating the vested portion as a separate Vested Company Option and the unvested portion as a separate Unvested Company Option. (iv) The Company shall take all actions necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 3.7(e) under all Company Option agreements and any other plan or arrangement of the Company, including delivering all required notices and making any determinations and/or resolutions of the Company Board or a committee thereof. Parent shall take all actions reasonably necessary or appropriate to have available for issuance or transfer a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Assumed RSUs and Assumed Options. Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Time), Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or other appropriate form) registering a number of shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to fulfill Parent’s obligations under Section 3.7(d) and this Section 3.7(e).
Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock Any shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock, and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Merger Sub, shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
Dissenting Shares (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by a holder who has made a proper demand for appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the DGCL (any such shares being referred to as “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1, but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares. (b) If any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as such (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the date of loss of such status, such shares shall automatically be converted into and shall represent only the right to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificate formerly representing such shares. (c) The Company shall give the Buyer: (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relate to such demand; and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. The Company shall not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument unless the Buyer shall have given its written consent to such payment or settlement offer.
Company Warrants (i) All Company Warrants that pursuant to their terms do not provide for assumption of such Company Warrants in connection with the Merger shall be cancelled at the Closing. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to effect the transactions anticipated by this Section 2.6(d) under all Company Warrant agreements, including delivering all notices required thereby. Within five (5) Business Days following the Effective Date, the Company shall notify the holders of such Company Warrants, which such notice shall be in compliance with the terms of such Company Warrants and shall specify the vested and unvested portions thereof, that such Company Warrants will be cancelled at the Closing. Materials to be submitted to the holders of Company Warrants in connection with the notice required under this Section 2.6(d) shall be subject to review and reasonable approval by Parent. (ii) All Company Warrants that pursuant to their terms provide for assumption of such warrant in connection with the Merger (the “Assumed Warrants”) shall be assumed by Parent and converted into a warrant to purchase Parent Common Stock. Each Assumed Company Warrant will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting), except that (A) each Assumed Company Warrant shall be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share) and (B) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Company Warrant shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Company Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent); provided, however, that the terms of each of the Company Warrants will provide (x) for an equitable adjustment in the event that any Escrow Shares are delivered by the Escrow Agent to a Parent Indemnified Party so that the holder of such Company Warrant will bear a pro rata portion (relative to the Total Outstanding Shares) of the aggregate indemnifiable Damages giving rise to such delivery of Escrow Shares and (y) upon exercise of such Company Warrant, a portion of the Company Stock issued upon such exercise (equal to the portion of Escrow Shares then held in the Escrow Account relative to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock previously delivered to the Company Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement) will be retained by Parent in escrow and transferred to either Parent or the holder of such Company Warrant, as applicable, at the same time and in the same relative proportion as the Escrow Shares are transferred out of the Escrow Account.
