(ii) each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(iii) and any Dissenting Shares as defined in and to the extent provided in Section 1.16) shall be canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive: (A) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Common Per Share Closing Amount, plus (B) the contingent right to receive, in accordance with Section 1.7 hereof, an amount equal to the Pro Rata Initial Order Cash Consideration (if any), plus (C) the contingent right to receive, in accordance with Section 1.8 hereof, an amount equal to the Pro Rata Performance Amount (if any), plus (D) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the Pro Rata Share multiplied by (y) any proceeds or distributions of the Escrow Amount (if, when and to the extent distributed to the Stockholders pursuant to the terms herein), plus (E) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the Pro Rata Share multiplied by (y) the Post-Closing Adjustment (if, when and to the extent distributed to the Participating Holders pursuant to the terms herein), plus (F) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the Capped Pro Rata Share multiplied by (y) the amount of the Overflow Funds; (iii) each share of Company Stock, if any, held by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof, and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto; (iv) each share of Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation, and all of such shares, as converted, shall thereafter constitute all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation; and (v) each share certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation; and (vi) each share of Company Stock converted pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 1.6(b) shall automatically cease to be outstanding and shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist and each holder of a certificate representing any such share of Company Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive such holder’s respective portion of the Merger Consideration and all payments pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be made in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation.
