Treatment of Company Options. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) will adopt resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, each unexpired and unexercised option to purchase Shares (the “Company Options”), under any stock option plan of the Company, including the 1997 Equity Participation Plan or the 2004 Incentive Award Plan, or any other plan, agreement or arrangement (the “Company Stock Option Plans”), whether or not then exercisable or vested, will be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Company Option will only be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Option and in full settlement therefor, a payment in cash of an amount equal to the product of (A) the total number of Shares previously subject to such Company Option and (B) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share previously subject to such Company Option (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “Option Payments”). From and after the Effective Time, any such cancelled Company Option will no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but will only entitle such holder to the payment of the Option Payment.
