Conversion of Company Securities At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holder of any of the following securities:
(a) Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) and of each series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Company Preferred Stock” and, together with the Company Common Stock, the “Company Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and shares of Company Stock held by Unaccredited Investors (each as defined below)), shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (subject to the provisions of Section 1.6) such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as is equal to the applicable “Conversion Ratio” specified with respect to such class or series on Schedule 1.5(a) hereto (the “Applicable Conversion Ratio”). An aggregate of 6,499,268 shares of Parent Common Stock (including Dissenting Shares), subject to adjustment as necessary due to rounding as set forth in Section 1.7, shall be issuable to the stockholders of record of the Company outstanding 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) The Parent shall deliver certificates for the Merger 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’s transfer agent. If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Parent’s transfer agent may, in its sole discretion and as a condition to the issuance of any certificates representing Merger Shares, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit with respect to such Company Stock Certificate.
(c) Each issued and outstanding share of Company Stock held by Unaccredited Investors (other than Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to $5.00 multiplied by the Applicable Conversation Ratio (the “Cash Merger Consideration”). “Unaccredited Investor” shall mean a Company Stockholder who does not complete and deliver to the Company and Parent prior to the Closing Date an investor questionnaire reasonably acceptable to the Company certifying that such Company Stockholder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”); provided that the Company and Parent may mutually determine any Company Stockholder is an “accredited investor” without having received such an investor questionnaire if they reasonably believe that such Company Stockholder qualifies as an “accredited investor”.

(ii) At and as of the Effective Time, each Dissenting Share shall be treated as described in Section 2.4(g).
(iii) At and as of the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock held by Buyer, Holdings, the Company or Merger Sub, or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Buyer, Holdings, the Company or Merger Sub shall be cancelled and extinguished without the payment of any consideration therefor.
