Common use of Effect on Options Clause in Contracts

Effect on Options. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, all options issued under the Target Option Plans (other than the Specified Options) that are outstanding on such date will be cancelled and will cease to exist, and the holder of such option will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive a pro rata portion of the Merger Consideration. For the avoidance of the doubt, for purposes of this Agreement, the Pro Rata Portion of the Target Stockholders shall be calculated as if the Specified Options were exercised for cash immediately prior to the Effective Time such that shares of Target Common Stock issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and the Target Stockholders and the Specified Option holders shall receive a pro rata portion of the Merger Consideration; provided, that in determining the Pro Rata Portion of any Specified Option holder the aggregate exercise price for all such options shall be taken into consideration.
