Unexercised Stock Options. At the Effective Time, and without any action on the part of any holder of a Company Stock Option, each Company Stock Option that is then outstanding and unexercised will be converted into and become a vested option (a “Converted Option”) to purchase Purchaser Common Stock on the same terms and conditions (other than vesting, which shall occur at the Effective Time) as are in effect with respect to the Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) each such Converted Option may be exercised solely for shares of Purchaser Common Stock, (ii) the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock subject to such Converted Option will be equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share), and (iii) the per-share exercise price for each such Converted Option will be adjusted by dividing the per-share exercise price of the Company Stock Option by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.5, a holder of a Company Stock Option may, in accordance with the terms of the Company’s 2002 Stock Incentive Plan under which such Company Stock Option was granted, elect to exchange such holder’s Converted Option for cash within sixty (60) days following the Effective Time on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan.
