Vested Options On the next regularly scheduled payroll date of the Surviving Corporation occurring more than five (5) Business Days but less than twenty (20) Business Days following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall pay to each holder of a Vested Option (other than with respect to Non-Withholding Options) for whom Acquiror has received a duly executed Option Termination Agreement an amount in cash equal to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Vested Option multiplied by an amount equal to the difference between (a) the Per Share Closing Consideration, minus (b) the exercise price per share under such Vested Option, minus (c) such holder’s applicable Percentage of the Escrow Amount in respect of such Vested Option (the “Closing Options Payout Amount”). Following the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall cause the applicable Closing Options Payout Amount to be paid to each holder of a Vested Option which is a Non-Withholding Option for whom Acquiror has received a duly executed Option Termination Agreement. The Closing Options Payout Amount payable to each holder of a Vested Option shall be set forth opposite such holder’s name on the Payment Schedule (such consideration subject to adjustment as provided herein and any applicable withholding Taxes). In the event of a conflict between the Payment Schedule and the provisions of this Agreement, the Payment Schedule shall control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended as of the date hereof) (the “Restated Certificate”), Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Equityholder Representative and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on the Payment Schedule as conclusive evidence of amounts payable to the holders of Vested Options pursuant to this Agreement. Each holder of a Vested Option, subject to receipt of a duly executed Option Termination Agreement, shall be entitled to receive with respect to each Vested Option subject thereto, such holder’s Percentage of the Earnout Payments, as and when such payments are required to be made, which amount shall be paid on the same schedule and on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Stockholders generally.
Unvested Options Each unvested outstanding Company Option held by a Continuing Employee (each an “Unvested Company Option”) shall be assumed by Parent (the “Assumed Options”) and will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Unvested Company Option documents (including any applicable Company Option Plan and stock option agreement or other document evidencing such Unvested Company Option, including but not limited to any employment or other agreement providing for accelerated vesting or other terms governing such Assumed Options) immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any repurchase rights or vesting provisions), except that (i) each such Unvested Company Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Conversion Rate (rounded down to the next whole number of shares of Parent Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding), and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Unvested Company Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Unvested Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Conversion Rate, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The assumption and conversion of Unvested Company Options by Parent are intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.424-1 (to the extent such options were incentive stock options) and of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). Following the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of Parent or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Board of Directors of Company or any committee thereof with respect to each Assumed Option and references to Company shall become references to Parent under the applicable Company Option Plan and stock option agreement or other document evidencing such Assumed Option. Each unvested outstanding Company Option that is not an Unvested Company Option shall be treated as a Cancelled Option and shall be cancelled and extinguished, with no consideration payable in connection with such cancellation and no further rights to the holder thereof, at the Effective Time.
