An aggregate of 22,700,649 shares of Parent Common Stock (including Indemnification Escrow Shares (as defined below) and Dissenting Shares), subject to adjustment as necessary due to rounding as set forth in Section 1.5(b), shall be issuable to the stockholders of record of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Stockholders”) in connection with the Merger. The shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Common Stock are converted pursuant to this Section shall be referred to herein as the “Merger Shares.”
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the Closing Date, the Company Stockholders shall be entitled to receive immediately only 98% of the shares of Parent Common Stock into which their shares of Company Stock were converted pursuant to Section 1.5(a) (the “Initial Shares”), pro rata in accordance with their respective holdings of Company Stock immediately prior to the Closing; and the remaining 2% of the shares of Parent Common Stock into which their shares of Company Stock were converted pursuant to Section 1.5(a), rounded up or down to the nearest whole number (with 0.5 shares rounded upward to the nearest whole number) (the “Indemnification Escrow Shares”), shall be deposited in escrow pursuant to the Indemnification Escrow Agreement and shall be held and released in accordance with the terms of the Indemnification Escrow Agreement.
(c) The Parent shall deliver certificates for the Initial Shares to each Company Stockholder entitled thereto who shall have presented a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Company Stock to be converted into Merger Shares pursuant to this Section 1.5 (the “Company Stock Certificates”) to the Parent or the Surviving Corporation or the Parent’s transfer agent.
(d) Each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Acquisition Subsidiary shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

The shares of Parent Common Stock exchangeable for any shares of Restricted Stock will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions as the Restricted Stock, including with regards to vesting.
(iv) No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger, but in lieu thereof, a cash payment shall be made pursuant to Section 2.6(g).
Conversion of Company Capital Stock At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder of any of the shares of Company Common Stock, Parent Stock or any capital stock of Merger Sub:
(a) All shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) held in treasury or owned directly by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, Merger Sub or Parent (other than shares in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like or shares held in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted) shall be cancelled and retired and shall not represent capital stock of the Surviving Company and shall not be exchanged for the Merger Consideration. Shares of Company Common Stock that are canceled and retired pursuant to this Section 2.1 are hereinafter referred to as the “Excluded Shares”; and
(b) Each share of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become the right to receive 0.7300 (the “Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent (the “Parent Stock”), subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.1(d) (such per share amount, together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1(c), is hereinafter referred to as the “Merger Consideration”). Effective as of the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of certificates or evidence of shares in book-entry form which immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 3.2.
Options and Warrants (a) Immediately prior to the Closing, each outstanding option ("Target Options") exercisable into shares of Target Common Stock and each warrant ("Target Warrants") exercisable into shares of Target Common Stock whether vested or not vested, shall immediately become vested in full and either exercised by the holder thereof prior to Closing or be deemed assumed by Parent. In the event that any Target Options and Target Warrants are exercised by the holder thereof prior to or simultaneous with the Closing, all shares of Target Common Stock issued upon exercise thereof shall be converted into Parent Shares in accordance with Section 1.2(a)(iii) of the Merger Agreement.
(b) At and after the Effective Time:
(i) each Target Option and Target Warrant then outstanding shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire the number (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Target Common Stock subject to such Target Option or Target Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Exchange Ratio; and
(ii) the exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock subject to any Target Option or Target Warrant at and after the Effective Time shall be an amount (rounded down to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) equal to (x) the exercise price per share of Target Common Stock subject to such Target Option or Target Warrant prior to the Effective Time, divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio.
(c) Other than as provided in subsections (a) and (b) above, as of and after the Effective Time, each Target Option and Target Warrant then outstanding shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, but not limited to, the acceleration of exercisability or conversion, as applicable, as of the date of approval of the Merger by the shareholders of the Company), but giving effect to the Merger (it being understood that any performance criteria to which such Target Option, and or Target Warrant remains subject may be equitably adjusted by Parent to reflect the consummation of the Merger).
(d) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Target Options and Target Warrants Notes after the Effective Time.
Rights, Options and Warrants If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which Sections 5.05(A)(iii)(1) and 5.05(F) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the record date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula: where: CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; OS = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and Y = a number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants by (y) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced. To the extent such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of only the rights, options or warrants, if any, actually distributed. In addition, to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants. For purposes of this Section 5.05(A)(ii) and Section 5.01(C)(i)(3)(a)(I), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Company in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.
Stock Options and Warrants At the Effective Time of the Merger, each outstanding option to purchase Company Common Stock (each, a "Company Stock Option"), whether or not granted under the Company Option Plan, and all outstanding warrants to purchase Company Common Stock the outstanding whether or not vested, shall by virtue of the Merger be assumed by Parent. Each Company Stock Option and Warrant so assumed by Parent under this Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such options immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger (including, without limitation, any repurchase rights or vesting provisions and provisions regarding the acceleration of vesting on certain transactions), except that (i) each Company Stock Option and Warrant will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of Company Shares that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Stock Option or Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock if the said product is equal to or less than the fraction of one-half (.5) of one Parent Common Stock or rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock if the said product is greater than the fraction of one-half (.5) of one Parent Common Stock, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Company Stock Option and Warrant will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per Company Share at which such Company Stock Option and Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Parent shall comply with the terms of all such Company Stock Options and Warrants and use its best efforts to ensure, to the extent required by, and subject to the provisions of, the Company Option Plan and permitted under the Code or other relevant laws and regulations that any Company Stock Option that qualified for tax treatment under Section 424(b) of the Code prior to the Effective Time of the Merger continue to so qualify after the Effective Time of the Merger. Parent shall take all corporate actions necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of all Company Stock Options and Warrants on the terms set forth in this Section 2.03(b).
Conversion of Company Preferred Stock The Company shall have completed the conversion of all issued and outstanding Company Preferred Stock to Company Common Stock.
Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.
Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion Not later than three (3) Trading Days after the Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder the Conversion Shares.
