Within ten (10) business days after the Effective Time, PCA will issue to each person who, immediately prior to the Effective Time was a holder of an outstanding option under the Company Option Plan, a document in form and Parent shall agree upon any adjustments substance reasonably satisfactory to this Section 2.4(a) necessary to avoid the Company evidencing the foregoing assumption of such new grant of stock optionsoption by PCA.
