Cancellation of Options In exchange for the consideration described in Section 1.2 below, the Participant hereby agrees that the Award Agreement and the Participant’s interests in the Underwater Options shall be cancelled, terminated, and of no further force or effect, effective as of the Effective Date, and that neither the Company nor the Participant shall have any further rights or obligations with respect to the Award Agreement, the Underwater Options, or with respect to which any shares of Common Stock that could have been acquired upon vesting and exercise of the Underwater Options.
Treatment of Company Equity Awards (a) At the Effective Time, each Company Option with a per share exercise price equal to or in excess of the Merger Consideration and that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, cease to represent a right to acquire Company Ordinary Shares and shall be assumed and converted automatically into an option to purchase the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (each, an “Adjusted Option”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Conversion Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each Adjusted Option shall have an exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock equal to (i) the per share exercise price for Company Ordinary Shares subject to the corresponding Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (ii) the Conversion Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Each Adjusted Option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Company Option under the applicable Company Equity Plan and the agreements evidencing grants thereunder, including vesting terms and terms related to the treatment upon termination of employment. (b) At the Effective Time, each Company Option with a per share exercise price that is less than the Merger Consideration and that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled, with the holder of such Company Option becoming entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of the holder with respect thereto, an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to such Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (ii) the excess of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price applicable to the Company Option. (c) At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is held by a non-employee director of the Company will vest as of the Effective Time and shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled, with the holder of such Company RSU becoming entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, the Merger Consideration in respect of each Company Ordinary Share subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time. (d) Except as set forth on Section 2.3(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter, at the Effective Time, each Company RSU (other than any Company RSU covered by Section 2.3(c)) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be assumed and converted automatically into a restricted stock unit award with respect to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (each, an “Adjusted RSU”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to the Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Conversion Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded to the nearest whole share. Each Adjusted RSU shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Company RSU under the applicable Company Equity Plan and the agreements evidencing grants thereunder, including vesting terms and terms related to the treatment upon termination of employment. (e) At the Effective Time, each Company PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, fully vest and be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to the number of Company Ordinary Shares equal to the number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to such Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (with such number of Company Ordinary Shares determined based on (i) actual performance as determined by the Compensation and Talent Committee of the Company Board of Directors for any fully completed measurement period or performance period, as applicable, ended prior to the Effective Time to the extent the Compensation and Talent Committee of the Company Board of Directors can reasonably determine the level of achievement of performance for such completed measurement period or performance period, as applicable, prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) target performance for any measurement period or performance period, as applicable, for which performance has not previously been determined as provided in clause (i)).

(g) Parent shall file or cause to be filed with the SEC, no later than the date on which the Effective Time occurs, a registration statement on a Form S-8 (or any successor form or other appropriate form, including a Form S-1 or Form S-3) relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to the Adjusted Options and Adjusted RSUs. Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectuses or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such awards remain outstanding.

(b) At the Effective Time, no new awards will be granted under the Company Equity Plans, and the Company Equity Plans shall, to the extent not already expired, terminate without any further obligations or Liabilities to the Company or any of its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the SPAC) except as expressly contemplated herein. (c) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take, or cause to be taken, all necessary or appropriate actions (including adopting resolutions by the Company Board or a committee thereof) under the Company Equity Plans, or other applicable instruments under the underlying grant, award, warrant or similar agreement and otherwise, in each case, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.4.

At least ten days prior to the effective date of such merger, consolidation, exchange, acquisition, recapitalization, reclassification, liquidation or dissolution, the Committee shall give the Optionee notice of such event if the Option has then neither been previously fully exercised nor become unexercisable under this Section 3.2.
