Related to Treatment of Company Options and Company Rsus Stock Plans

• Treatment of Company Options (a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action of any Party or any other Person (but subject to, in the case of the Company, ‎Section 2.4(c)), each Company Option (whether vested or unvested) shall be assumed by the SPAC and substituted with an option to purchase a number of shares of SPAC New Common Shares (such option, a “Substituted Option”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of Company Common Shares subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of SPAC New Common Shares purchasable pursuant to the Substituted Options shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; provided, further, that, in the case of any Substituted Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of SPAC New Common Shares purchasable pursuant to such option shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing, subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code; provided, further, that, except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Substituted Option shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. (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. Prior to such adoption, the Company will provide the SPAC with drafts of, and a reasonable opportunity to comment on, all such resolutions.

• Company Stock Plans (a) Each option to purchase Company Common Stock (“Company Stock Options”) granted under any stock option plans or other equity-related plans of the Company (the “Company Stock Plans”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (without regard to the exercise price of such Company Stock Option) in exchange for the right to receive at the Effective Time, in accordance with this Section 2.9, a lump sum cash payment in the amount of the Option Consideration (as defined below), if any, with respect to such Company Stock Option. (b) Each holder of a Company Stock Option shall receive from the Purchaser or the Parent, in respect and in consideration of each Company Stock Option so cancelled, promptly following the Effective Time (but in any event not later than 10 Business Days), an amount (net of applicable taxes) equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration per share of Company Common Stock over (B) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option (whether or not then vested or exercisable), without any interest thereon (the “Option Consideration”). In the event that the exercise price of any Company Stock Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Stock Option shall be cancelled, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof, and have no further force or effect. (c) As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall mail to each Person who is a holder of Company Stock Options a letter describing the treatment of and payment for such Company Stock Options pursuant to this Section 2.9 and providing instructions for use in obtaining payment for such Company Stock Options, which letter shall be subject to the Parent’s prior review and comment. The Parent shall at all times from and after the Effective Time maintain sufficient liquid funds to satisfy its obligations to holders of Company Stock Options pursuant to this Section 2.9. (d) Each Restricted Share granted pursuant to the Company Stock Plans outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and free of any vesting or other lapse restrictions immediately prior to the Effective Time. (e) If the Effective Time occurs on or before the “Exercise Date” relating to the applicable “Plan Period” in effect as of the date of this Agreement (as such terms are defined in the Company ESPP) and there are “Options” (as defined in the Company ESPP) then outstanding with respect to such Plan Period, the Company Board shall, prior to such Effective Time, take such actions as are necessary to provide that all outstanding Options shall be cancelled as of the Closing Date, provided that notice of such cancellation shall be given to each holder of an Option, and to the extent that such holder does not elect to withdraw his or her participation in the Company ESPP prior to the Effective Time, then such Option shall be deemed to have been exercised in full on the Closing Date based on payroll deductions then credited to his or her account as of a date determined by the Company Board, which date shall not be less than ten (10) days preceding the Closing Date. The Company Board shall terminate the Company ESPP prior to the Effective Time. No new “Plan Period” shall commence after the date of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, “Company ESPP” means the Company’s Restated 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. (f) As of the Effective Time, the Company Stock Plans shall terminate and all rights under any provision of any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall be cancelled.

• 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)). (f) Parent shall cause the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to pay through the payroll system of the Surviving Company or one of its Subsidiaries (to the extent applicable) to each holder of a Company Option, Company RSU or Company PSU the amounts due to such holder under Section 2.3(b), Section 2.3(c), Section 2.3(d) and Section 2.3(e), as applicable, without interest and less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under applicable Law with respect to the making of such payment, as promptly as practicable (but no later than two (2) Business Days) following the Effective Time; provided that the Merger Consideration with respect to any Company Equity Award that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be paid at the earliest time permitted under the terms of such award that will not result in the application of a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code. (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. (h) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions and adopt all such resolutions as are necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Company Equity Awards as contemplated by this Section 2.3.

• Company Option Plans At the Effective Time, all options (the "Company Options") then outstanding, whether or not vested and exercisable, under the Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan, 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, 1996 Directors Stock Option Plan and 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, in each case as amended (collectively, the "Company Option Plans"), shall be assumed by Parent. Each Company Option assumed by Parent other than Company Options issued pursuant to the Company 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall be subject to, and exercisable upon, the same terms and conditions as under the applicable Company Option Plan and the applicable option agreement issued thereunder, except that (a) each assumed Company Option shall be exercisable for, and represent the right to acquire, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio; and (b) the option price per share of Parent Common Stock subject to each assumed Company Option shall be an amount equal to (i) the option price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). The Company represents and warrants that each of the foregoing actions may be taken and effected by the Company without the consent of any holder of Company Options. Each assumed purchase right under the Company 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall continue to have, and be subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in the Company 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the documents governing the assumed purchase right, except that the purchase price of such shares of Parent Common Stock for each respective purchase date under each assumed purchase right shall be the lower of (i) the quotient determined by dividing eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of Company Common Stock on the offering date of each assumed offering period by the Exchange Ratio or (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of the Parent Common Stock on each purchase date of each assumed offering period occurring after the Effective Time (with the number of shares rounded to the nearest whole share and the purchase price rounded to the nearest whole cent). The assumed purchase rights shall be exercised at such times following the Effective Time as set forth in the Company 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and each participant shall, accordingly, be issued shares of Parent Common Stock at such times pursuant to the Company 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall terminate with the exercise of the last assumed purchase right, and no additional purchase rights shall be granted under the Company Employee Stock Purchase Plan following the Effective Time. Parent agrees that from and after the Effective Time, employees of the Surviving Corporation may participate in Parent's employee stock purchase plan, subject to the terms and conditions of such plan. The adjustment provided herein with respect to stock options shall be and is intended to be effected in a manner which is consistent with Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The duration, vesting schedule, exercisability and other terms of each option immediately after the Effective Time shall be the same as the corresponding terms in effect immediately before the Effective Time, except that all references to Company in the Company Option Plans (and the corresponding references in the option agreement documenting such option) shall be deemed to be references to Parent. Except as set forth in Section 3.2(d) of the Disclosure Schedule (as defined in Article III hereof), vesting of Company Options shall not be accelerated as a result of the Merger. Continuous employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be credited to the optionee for purposes of determining the vesting of all assumed Company Options after the Effective Time. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after the Effective Time, Parent will issue to each holder of an assumed Company Option notice of the foregoing assumption by Parent. Parent shall file with the SEC, no later than ten business days after the Effective Time, a Registration Statement on Form S-8 relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to the Company Options assumed by Parent in accordance with this Section 2.6.

• Company RSUs At the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit entitling the holder thereof to Company Shares or cash equal to the value of Company Shares with only time-based vesting requirements (each, a “Company RSU”) that is outstanding and unvested as of the Effective Time (after application of any vesting acceleration provisions set forth in the terms of such Company RSU) (each such Company RSU, an “Unvested Company RSU”) shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into a restricted stock unit denominated in Parent Shares entitling the holder thereof to solely cash equal to the value of the number of Parent Shares (rounded up to the nearest whole number) equal to (i) the number of Company Shares subject to such Unvested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each such restricted stock unit shall continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including the terms set forth on Section 4.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter) as were applicable to such Unvested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding and vested as of the Effective Time (taking into account the application of any vesting acceleration provisions set forth in the terms of such Company RSU), shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into only the right to receive an amount solely in cash equal to the Equity Award Cash-Out Consideration, and an amount solely in cash equal to any accumulated and unpaid dividend equivalents, in each case, with respect to each Company Share subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (without interest and less applicable withholdings in accordance with Section 4.6) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than the end of the first regular payroll period commencing following the Effective Time); provided that, with respect to any Company RSUs that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and that are not permitted to be paid or settled as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time without triggering a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, such payment or settlement shall be made at the earliest time permitted under the terms of such award that will not trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.

• Company Options “Company Options” shall mean all options to purchase Shares (whether granted by the Company pursuant to the Company Equity Plans, assumed by the Company in connection with any merger, acquisition or similar transaction or otherwise issued or granted).

• Stock Plans (a) At the Effective Time, the Stock Plans (other than the ESPP) and each Option which is outstanding thereunder immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not then vested or exercisable) shall, subject to Schedule 5.8(a), be assumed by Parent. Each such Option so assumed by Parent under this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Stock Plans and the stock option agreements, immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) such Option will be exercisable for that number of whole Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Option Exchange Ratio and rounded down to the nearest whole number of Parent Ordinary Shares, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the Parent Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such assumed Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Except as set forth in Section 5.8 of the Disclosure Schedule, neither the Merger nor the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will terminate any of the outstanding Options under the Stock Plans or accelerate the exercisability or vesting of such Options or the Parent Ordinary Shares which will be subject to those Options upon Parent’s assumption of the Options in the Merger. It is the intention of the parties that the Options so assumed by Parent hereunder qualify, to the maximum extent permissible, following the Effective Time as “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent such Options qualified as incentive stock options prior to the Effective Time. (b) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Option Exchange Ratio” shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Merger Consideration by the Parent Fair Market Value, and (ii) “Parent Fair Market Value” means the average closing selling price per share of Parent Ordinary Shares as quoted on the London Stock Exchange for the ten (10) trading days preceding the Closing Date (as converted to U.S. Dollars at the Currency Exchange Rate as quoted in the New York edition of The Wall Street Journal on the Effective Date).

• Treatment of Company Warrants (a) Each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time and that would automatically be exercised or otherwise exchanged in full in accordance with its terms by virtue of the occurrence of the Merger, without any election or action by the Company or the holder thereof, shall automatically be exercised or exchanged in full for the applicable Company Shares in accordance with its terms immediately prior to the Effective Time, without any action on the part of the Company or the holder thereof, and each Company Share issued or issuable upon such exercise shall be treated as being issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and, pursuant to Section 3.02(a) (and without duplication) shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Closing Merger Consideration in respect of such Company Shares held by such Company Stockholder. (b) Each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is not automatically exercised in full (pursuant to Section 3.06(a)) shall be converted into a warrant to purchase Acquiror Common Stock on the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and exercisability) as are in effect with respect to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Assumed Warrant”), except that (i), such Assumed Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase such whole number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (A) the number of Company Common Shares (as calculated on as converted to Company Common Share basis) subject to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and (ii) such Assumed Warrant shall have an exercise price per share (which shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient of (1) the exercise price per share of such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (2) the Exchange Ratio.

• Company Equity Awards (a) Each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock that has been granted under the Company Stock Plans (each, a “Company Option”) and that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holders thereof, be treated as follows: (i) as of the Effective Time, each Company Option (whether or not vested) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time and that has a per share exercise price less than the Merger Consideration (an “In-the-Money Option”) will be canceled in exchange for payment to the holder of such In-the-Money Option of an amount in cash equal to (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock remaining subject to such In-the-Money Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the amount by which (x) the Merger Consideration exceeds (y) the per share exercise price for such In-the-Money Option (the “Company Option Cash Out Amount”); and (ii) each Company Option that is not an In-the-Money Option will be canceled at the Effective Time without payment of any consideration. (b) As of the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award subject to time-based or other vesting restrictions that is outstanding under any Company Stock Plan (each, a “Company RSU Award””) immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, to the extent not vested, become fully vested and then (ii) each such Company RSU Award shall be canceled without any action of the part of any holder or beneficiary thereof in consideration for the right to receive a lump sum cash payment with respect thereto equal to the product of (x) the Merger Consideration and (y) the number of shares of Company Stock represented by such Company RSU Award (the “Company RSU Cash Out Amount”). (c) All Company Options (whether or not vested) that are outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, all Company RSU Awards that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and rights under the Company Stock Plans, will terminate as of, and contingent upon the occurrence of, the Effective Time (after given effect to this Section 2.3), and, following the Effective Time, no holder of any Company Option, Company RSU Award, or any other rights under the Company Stock Plans will have any right to acquire any equity securities of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or the Surviving Corporation as a result of such holder’s Company Options, Company RSU Awards, or other rights under the Company Stock Plans and the Company shall have no further Liability under or with respect to any such Company Option, Company RSU Awards, or the Company Stock Plans (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(i) in respect of In-The-Money Options), or as provided pursuant to Section 2.3(b) in respect of the Company RSU Awards. (d) Payment of the Company Option Cash Out Amount for each In-the-Money Option and the Company RSU Cash Out Amount for each Company RSU Award is subject to Section 2.7 and will be made as follows: No later than thirty (30) Business Days after the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, deliver (through the Surviving Corporation payroll or such other means of payment as Parent may provide) to the holder of any In-the-Money Option or Company RSU Award the applicable Company Option Cash Out Amount or Company RSU Cash Out Amount, net of Tax withholdings. To the extent that such Taxes are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, the amounts thereof will be treated for all purposes hereunder as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. (e) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take (or cause there to be taken, as the case may be) all such actions as are necessary to effect the treatment of Company Options and Company RSU Awards provided for under this Section 2.3, under all Contracts governing the terms of all Company Options and Company RSU Awards, and under any other applicable plan or arrangement to which the Company is a party or by which the Company may be bound with respect to such Company Options, Company RSU Awards or the Company Stock Plans, including (A) to accelerate the vesting of any unvested Company Options that are outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) at the request of Parent or as otherwise may be required, sending to any holders of Company Options notices (if drafted and at the request of Parent, subject to reasonable review and approval by the Company, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) with respect to the treatment of such instruments under this Agreement. The Company shall not send or otherwise make available any notices to any holders of Company Options, or solicit any consents or other approvals from the holders of any Company Options unless and until Parent has reviewed and approved all such notices and related documentation (including any email messages and notifications) to be sent or made available to such holders (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), in each case, solely to the extent such notices, consents or approvals relate to the Merger Transaction. (f) The Company shall promptly take (or cause there to be taken, as the case may be) all such actions as are necessary to ensure that no offering or purchase period commences under the Company ESPP and that no shares of Company Capital Stock are issued under the Company ESPP. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take (or cause there to be taken, as the case may be) all such actions as are necessary to terminate the Company ESPP such that, from and after the time of such termination, the Company shall have no Liability under or with respect to the Company ESPP.

• Equity Awards You will be eligible to receive awards of stock options or other equity awards pursuant to any plans or arrangements the Company may have in effect from time to time. The Board or Committee, as applicable, will determine in its sole discretion whether you will be granted any such equity awards and the terms of any such award in accordance with the terms of any applicable plan or arrangement that may be in effect from time to time.
