Treatment of Payments Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement to the contrary, in the event that an independent, nationally recognized, accounting firm which shall be designated by the Company with the Executive’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (the “Accounting Firm”) shall determine that any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Executive from the Company or any of its affiliates or from any person who effectuates a change in control or effective control of the Company or any of such person’s affiliates (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and benefits, the “Total Payments”) would fail to be deductible under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or otherwise would be subject (in whole or part) to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”) then the Accounting Firm shall determine if the payments or benefits to be received by the Executive that are subject to Section 280G of the Code shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax, but such reduction shall occur if and only to the extent that the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes, and employment, Social Security and Medicare taxes on such reduced Total Payments), is greater than or equal to the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes and employment, Social Security and Medicare taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax (or any other excise tax) to which the Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments). For purposes of this Section 6(a), the above tax amounts shall be determined by applying the highest marginal rate under Section 1 of the Code and under state and local laws which applied (or is likely to apply) to the Executive’s taxable income for the tax year in which the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G of the Code occurs, or such other rate(s) as the Accounting Firm determines to be likely to apply to the Executive in the relevant tax year(s) in which any of the Total Payments is expected to be made. If the Accounting Firm determines that the Executive would not retain a larger amount on an after-tax basis if the Total Payments were so reduced, then the Executive shall retain all of the Total Payments.
Treatment of Options Prior to the Merger Effective Time, Xxxxxx and Merger Sub shall take all such actions as may be necessary to cause each unexpired and unexercised option, whether or not vested or exercisable, under stock option plans of Xxxxxx with respect to Xxxxxx Common Stock (each, an "Option") to be automatically converted at the Merger Effective Time into an option (an "Exchange Option") to purchase, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to each such Option immediately before the Merger Effective Time (except for any changes in vesting rights or acceleration of exercise rights pursuant to the terms of the stock option plans and related agreements in existence as of the date of this Agreement, that result from the occurrence of the Transactions), (i) that number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Xxxxxx Common Stock issuable immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time upon exercise of the Option and (ii) at a price per share equal to the exercise price which existed under the corresponding Option immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time; 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, the conversion formula shall be adjusted, if necessary, to comply with Section 424(a) of the Code. In connection with the issuance of Exchange Options, the Surviving Corporation shall (a) reserve for issuance the number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock that will become subject to Exchange Options pursuant to this Section 1.9 and (b) from and after the Merger Effective Time, upon exercise of Exchange Options, make available for issuance all shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock covered thereby, subject to the terms and conditions applicable thereto. Prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Board of Directors of Xxxxxx, or an appropriate committee of non-employee directors thereof, as applicable, shall adopt resolutions consistent with the interpretive guidance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and any other applicable securities regulatory authorities so that the disposition of the Options and the acquisition of the Exchange Options, any shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock or any other equity securities or derivative securities of the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Agreement by any officer or director of Xxxxxx who may become a covered person of the Surviving Corporation for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Exchange Act"), shall be exempt for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Restricted stock units with respect to Xxxxxx Common Stock and other incentive compensation awards (including awards under the LTAP (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement)) payable in, or determined by reference to, shares of Xxxxxx Common Stock will be converted into an equal number of restricted stock units (or incentive compensation awards) with respect to Surviving Corporation Common Stock.

Treatment of Stock Options 6 ARTICLE III.
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.

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.

equal to the product of (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Common Warrant multiplied by (2) the Common Per-Share Merger Consideration less the exercise price per share of
