Company Stock Awards. (a) At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable (each, an “Assumed Option”), shall be assumed by Parent. In accordance with its terms and subject to the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, each Assumed Option shall (i) be converted into an option to acquire that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option, and (y) the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock, and (ii) have an exercise price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share exercise price of Company Common Stock subject to such Assumed Option, by (y) the Option Exchange Ratio (which price per share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent). Each Assumed Option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and exercisability) as were applicable under the respective Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. It is the intention of the parties that each Assumed Option that qualified as an incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall continue to so qualify, to the maximum extent permissible, following the Effective Time.
