• Treatment of Options (a) At the Effective Time of the Merger, each outstanding option to purchase Company Common Stock (a "Company Stock Option") issued pursuant to the Company's Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan") or the Company's Stock Option and Restricted Stock Purchase Plan (the "Option Plan" and, collectively with the Director Plan, the "Company Stock Plans"), whether vested or unvested, shall be deemed to constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Stock Option, those shares of Parent Common Stock and CVPs which the holder of such Company Stock Option would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger if such holder had exercised such option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger (utilizing the Exchange Ratio as set forth in Section 2.01 of this Agreement), at a price per share equal to (y) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such Company Stock Option divided by (z) the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock deemed purchasable pursuant to such Company Stock Option (a "Converted Option"); provided, however, that in the case of any option to which Section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification under Section 422 of the Code ("incentive stock options"), the option price, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in order to comply with Section 424(a) of the Code. If the relevant Company Stock Option is not exercised prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in Exhibit A), any CVPs due pursuant thereto shall terminate and become null and void. If the relevant Company Stock Option is exercised, in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in Exhibit A), upon the sale of any shares of Parent Common Stock received upon the exercise of the relevant Company Stock Option, the CVPs due pursuant to such shares sold shall terminate and become null and void.

• Treatment of Company Warrants Each outstanding warrant to purchase Company Common Shares (the “Company Warrants”), whether or not exercisable at the Effective Time, shall, at the option of the holder thereof: (i) be surrendered to Parent in exchange for an amount equal to (A)the per share Consideration multiplied by (B) the number of Company Common Shares the holder of such Company Warrant would have received had such holder exercised such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Closing (assuming for the purposes of this calculation, the cashless exercise of such Company Warrant); or (ii) remain outstanding following the Effective Time in accordance with the terms thereof (each such Company Warrant that remains outstanding following the Effective Time, a “Company Converted Warrant”). For the avoidance of doubt, following the Effective Time, Company Converted Warrants will, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 thereof, represent a right to purchase, for a price equal to the Exercise Price (as defined in such Company Converted Warrant) multiplied by the number of Company Common Shares for which such Company Converted Warrant may have been exercised immediately prior to the Closing, (I) an amount of cash equal to the Cash Consideration multiplied by the number of Company Common Shares for which such Company Converted Warrant may have been exercised immediately prior to the Closing and (II) that number of Parent Common Shares equal to the number of Company Common Shares for which such Company Converted Warrant may have been exercised immediately prior to the Closing multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, together with any cash paid in lieu of a fractional share in accordance with the terms of the Company Converted Warrants; provided, that, the number of Parent Common Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Company Converted Warrants following the Closing shall be subject to adjustment for events subsequent to the Closing on terms economically equivalent to those provided in the Company Converted Warrants. Also for the avoidance of doubt, upon exercise, to the extent applicable, the holder of any Company Converted Warrant shall be entitled to receive any evidences of indebtedness, assets (including cash) or other property such holder would have been entitled to receive in lieu of an adjustment to the Exercise Price (as defined in the Company Warrants) in accordance with the terms of such Company Converted Warrant.

• Capital Stock and Related Matters The authorized Equity Interests as of the Agreement Date of each Borrower Party and each Subsidiary of a Borrower Party that is a corporation and the number of shares of such Equity Interests that are issued and outstanding as of the Agreement Date are as set forth on Schedule 5.1(d). All of the shares of such Equity Interests in Domestic Subsidiaries that are issued and outstanding as of the Agreement Date have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. None of such Equity Interests in Domestic Subsidiaries have been issued in violation of the Securities Act, or the securities, “Blue Sky” or other Applicable Laws of any applicable jurisdiction. As of the Agreement Date, the Equity Interests of each such Borrower Party (other than Parent) and each such Subsidiary of a Borrower Party are owned by the parties listed on Schedule 5.1(d) in the amounts set forth on such schedule and a description of the Equity Interests of each such party is listed on Schedule 5.1(d). As of the Agreement Date, except as described on Schedule 5.1(d), no Borrower Party (other than Parent) or any Subsidiary of a Borrower Party has outstanding any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of its Equity Interests, nor are there any preemptive or similar rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, or any agreements providing for the issuance (contingent or otherwise) of, or any calls, commitments, or claims of any character relating to, any Equity Interests or any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for any Equity Interests. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.1(d), as of the Agreement Date, no Borrower Party or any Subsidiary of any Borrower Party is subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of its Equity Interests or to register any shares of its Equity Interests, and there are no agreements restricting the transfer of any shares of such Borrower Party’s or such Subsidiary’s Equity Interests.

• Treatment of Company Options Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that, at the Effective Time, each unexpired and unexercised Company Option shall become fully vested and exercisable and shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Company Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of such cancellation, payments in cash (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld) equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock previously subject to such Company Option multiplied by (ii) the amount by which the Option In-The-Money Amount, calculated as of the Effective Time and recalculated, if applicable, in connection with any recalculation of the Common Merger Consideration, exceeds the exercise price of such Company Option (for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of any amounts previously paid to holders of such Company Options in accordance herewith). Any such amount payable hereunder with respect to any Company Option shall be referred to as an “Option Payment”, and the aggregate of all such amounts payable hereunder shall be referred to as the “Option Payments”. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will make available to the Surviving Corporation the cash to be delivered in respect of the Option Payments based on the calculation of the Common Merger Consideration at the Effective Time (the “Closing Option Payments”). Option Payments following the Effective Time shall be made on or about the same dates, and subject to the same terms, as payments of the Merger Consideration to the holders of Company Capital Stock. Any Company Options shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the applicable Option Payments in accordance with this Section 2.6(d), which for the avoidance of doubt includes the right to receive payments in connection with any Excess Payment or any release of funds from the General Escrow Account or the Equityholders’ Representative Escrow Account. At the Effective Time, all Company Option Plans shall be terminated and no further Company Options shall be granted thereunder. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of Company Options to enter into a written agreement effectuating the foregoing, and the payment of the Option Payment to each holder of Company Options shall be subject to such holder’s execution and delivery of such agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (such agreement, an “Option Holder Letter”).

• Treatment of Stock Options 6 ARTICLE III.

• Treatment of Company Stock Options (a) The Company promptly shall notify each holder of the Company Stock Options, in writing, of the Transactions in accordance with the Company Stock Plans (the “Option Holder Notice”). The Option Holder Notice shall (i) apprise the holders of outstanding Company Stock Options of their ability to exercise the Options in accordance with the Company Stock Plan prior to the Effective Time, (ii) disclose that, if not exercised, such Company Stock Options will terminate at the Effective Time and (iii) disclose that if any Company Stock Options are not exercised prior to the Effective Time or terminated as contemplated in clause (ii), the holders of such Company Stock Options will be entitled to receive the Option Merger Consideration in respect of such Company Stock Options. As of the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Stock Option shall be terminated by virtue of the Merger and each holder of a Company Stock Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, other than the right to receive, in respect of each such terminated Company Stock Option, a single lump sum payment (without interest and subject to the deduction and withholding of such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law) in cash an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Merger Consideration over (ii) the per share exercise price for such Company Stock Option (the “Option Merger Consideration”). Payment of the Option Merger Consideration to each of the holders of Company Stock Options entitled thereto shall be made as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any amounts withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by Parent, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Stock Option in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. If the per share exercise price of any such Company Stock Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Stock Option shall be canceled with a cash payment of $0.001 per share being made in respect of each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, for each Company Stock Option rounded to the next highest full cent. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions required by the Company Stock Plans under which such Company Stock Options were granted to cause such Company Stock Plans and all Company Stock Options granted thereunder to terminate at the Effective Time, including adopting any plan amendments and resolutions and obtaining any required Consents, without paying any consideration or incurring any debts or obligations on behalf of the Company or the Surviving Entity.

• Treatment of Restricted Stock For purposes of subchapter S, stock that is issued in connection with the perform- ance of services (within the meaning of § 1.83–3(f)) and that is substantially nonvested (within the meaning of § 1.83–3(b)) is not treated as outstanding stock of the corporation, and the hold- er of that stock is not treated as a shareholder solely by reason of holding the stock, unless the holder makes an election with respect to the stock under section 83(b). In the event of such an election, the stock is treated as outstanding stock of the corpora- tion, and the holder of the stock is treated as a shareholder for purposes of subchapter S. See paragraphs (l) (1) and
