  • Treatment of Stock Options At the Effective Time, with respect to each outstanding option to purchase Shares (a “Company Option”) under the Company Stock Plans, whether vested or unvested, (x) if the exercise price of such Company Option is equal to or greater than the Cash Election Consideration, such Company Option shall terminate and be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof, and have no further force or effect, and (y) if the exercise price of such Company Option is less than the Cash Election Consideration, thirty percent (30%) of such Company Options held by each holder thereof (rounded to the nearest whole share), other than any Company Option that is not held by a Company Employee and any Company Option held by a non-employee Director, shall be deemed to be “Rollover Options” and the remaining Company Options (other than Company Options cancelled pursuant to clause (x) above) shall be deemed to be “Cash-Out Options”. At the Effective Time, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof: (i) each such Cash-Out Option shall terminate and be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time in exchange for the right to receive, in accordance with this Section 4.6(a), a lump sum cash payment in the amount equal to (i) the number of Shares subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of the dollar value of the Cash Election Consideration (the “Cash Award Consideration”), over the applicable exercise price (the “Option Payment”). The Option Payment (if any) payable under this Section 4.6(a) to each former holder of a Company Option that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be paid through the Surviving Company’s payroll to such former holder as soon as practicable following the Effective Time (but in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter), net of any Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 4.2(h); and (ii) each Rollover Option shall be assumed and converted automatically into a fully-vested option (an “Adjusted Stock Option”) to purchase, on substantially the same terms and conditions (other than vesting) as were applicable under such Rollover Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, the number of shares of Series C Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares) equal to the product of (A) the number of Shares subject to such Rollover Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Option Exchange Ratio, which Adjusted Stock Option shall have an exercise price per share of Series C Common Stock equal to the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per Share subject to such Rollover Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Option Exchange Ratio. The “Option Exchange Ratio” shall equal the quotient (rounded to four decimal places) obtained by dividing (i) the weighted average price of the Class A Shares on the NASDAQ on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of the Effective Time by (ii) the Average Parent Stock Price.
