Treatment of Company Equity Awards (a) Except as provided in Section 2.4(d), as of the Effective Time, each option to purchase Company Common Stock (a “Company Stock Option”) granted under any Company Equity Plan that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into a stock option (a “Parent Stock Option”) to acquire Parent Stock in accordance with this Section 2.4. Each such Parent Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (but taking into account any changes thereto provided for in the applicable Company Equity Plan, in any award agreement or in such Company Stock Option by reason of this Agreement or the Transactions). As of the Effective Time, each such Parent Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall be for that number of whole shares of Parent Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Stock Award Exchange Ratio, which product shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share, at a per share exercise price determined by dividing the per share exercise price of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Stock Award Exchange Ratio, which quotient shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent; provided, however, that each Company Stock Option (A) which is an “incentive stock option” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall be adjusted in accordance with the requirements of Section 424 of the Code and (B) shall be adjusted in a manner which complies with Section 409A of the Code.
