Treatment of Options (a) Upon and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, each option to purchase Company Common Stock then outstanding (each, a “Company Option”) to the extent then exercisable (after giving effect to any acceleration resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), at an exercise price per share less than the Merger Consideration (each such Company Option, a “Cashed Out Option”), shall entitle the holder thereof to receive from Parent as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option multiplied by (y) the excess of the amount of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock under such Company Option (with the aggregate amount of such payment rounded up to the nearest cent, less applicable taxes, if any, required by Applicable Law to be withheld by the Company or Merger Sub on behalf of such holder).
(b) Upon and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, each Company Option other than a Cashed Out Option, granted under any Company Stock Plan and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into an option to acquire such number of shares of Parent Common Stock (a “Converted Option”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Converted Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the Merger Consideration by (2) the average of the closing prices of one (1) share of Parent Common Stock, as quoted on NASDAQ for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Exchange Ratio”), rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock. The terms and conditions of the Converted Option, including the vesting schedule thereof (except to the extent otherwise provided in any agreement between the Company and the holder of such Converted Option), shall otherwise remain the same as the terms and conditions of the Company Option, except that the exercise price per share of each Converted Option shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the exercise price per share of such Converted Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (2) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
(c) On the Closing Date, Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 or Form S-8, as the case may be (or any successor or other appropriate forms), with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to the Converted Options and shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such Converted Options remain outstanding.
Treatment of Company Warrants Effective as of the First Merger Effective Time, each Company Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time shall cease to represent a right to acquire Company Common Stock and shall be converted automatically into a warrant representing a right to acquire Parent Common Stock, on substantially the same terms and conditions as applied to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time, except that: (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each assumed Company Warrant shall be determined by multiplying: (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time; by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, with any fractional share of Parent Common Stock resulting from such rounding converted into a right to receive a cash payment (rounded up to the nearest whole cent), without interest and subject to any required Tax withholding, determined by multiplying such fractional share of Parent Common Stock by the closing price of a share of Parent Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the trading day immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder); and (ii) the strike price shall not be modified; provided, however, that (1) the Parent Board or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to each such assumed Company Warrant, and (2) Parent shall, as promptly as practicable following the First Merger Effective Time, provide notice of such conversion, together with all material terms thereof (including the number and type of the securities issuable upon exercise) to the applicable warrant agent and the holders of the Company Warrants. Parent shall reserve for issuance a number of shares of Parent Common Stock at least equal to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that will be subject to the Company Warrants as a result of the actions contemplated by this Section 1.10. In connection with the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, Parent will reasonably cooperate with the Company with respect to the notification and related requirements under the agreements governing the Company Warrants.

Treatment of Warrants Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company shall adopt appropriate resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that, at the Effective Time, (i) each unexpired and unexercised warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrants”) pursuant to a contract or agreement to which the Company is a party shall, immediately prior to its termination in accordance with its terms at the Closing, be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Common Warrant shall be converted into a right to receive, in consideration of such cancellation, (a) a payment in cash (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld) in an amount equal to the product of (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Common Warrant multiplied by (2) the Common Per-Share Merger Consideration less the exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to such Common Warrant (any such amount payable hereunder with respect to any such Common Warrant being referred to as a “Common Warrant Payment”, and the aggregate of all such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “Common Warrant Payments”), and (b) the right to receive payments from the General Escrow Account and the Equityholders’ Representative Escrow Account in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and Section 3.3, (ii) each unexpired and unexercised warrant to purchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Warrants”) pursuant to a contract or agreement to which the Company is a party shall, immediately prior to its termination in accordance with its terms at the Closing, be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Series B Warrant shall be converted into a right to receive, in consideration of such cancellation, (a) a payment in cash (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld) in an amount equal to the product of (1) the total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock subject to such Series B Warrant multiplied by (2) the Series B Preferred Per-Share Merger Consideration less the exercise price per share of Series B Preferred Stock subject to such Series B Warrant (any such amount payable hereunder with respect to any such Series B Warrant being referred to as a “Series B Warrant Payment”, and the aggregate of all such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “Series B Warrant Payments”), and (b) the right to receive payments from the General Escrow Account and the Equityholders’ Representative Escrow Account in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and Section 3.3, (iii) each unexpired and unexercised warrant to purchase shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Warrants”) pursuant to a contract or agreement to which the Company is a party shall, immediately prior to its termination in accordance with its terms at the Closing, be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Series C Warrant shall be converted into a right to receive, in consideration of such cancellation, (a) a payment in cash (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld) in an amount equal to the product of (1) the total number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock subject to such Series C Warrant multiplied by (2) the Series C Preferred Per-Share Merger Consideration less the exercise price per share of Series C Preferred Stock subject to such Series C Warrant (any such amount payable hereunder with respect to any such Series C Warrant being referred to as a “Series C Warrant Payment”, and the aggregate of all such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “Series C Warrant Payments”), and (b) the right to receive payments from the General Escrow Account and the Equityholders’ Representative Escrow Account in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and Section 3.3, and (iv) each unexpired and unexercised warrant to purchase shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series C-1 Warrants” and, together with the Common Warrants, the Series B Warrants and the Series C Warrants, the “Warrants”) pursuant to a contract or agreement to which the Company is a party shall, immediately prior to its termination in accordance with its terms at the Closing, be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Series C-1 Warrant shall be converted into a right to receive, in consideration of such cancellation, (a) a payment in cash (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld) in an amount equal to the product of (1) the total number of shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock subject to such Series C-1 Warrant multiplied by (2) the Series C-1 Preferred Per-Share Merger Consideration less the exercise price per share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock subject to such Series C-1 Warrant (any such amount payable hereunder with respect to any such Series C-1 Warrant being referred to as a “Series C-1 Warrant Payment”, and the aggregate of all such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “Series C-1 Warrant Payments” and, together with the Common Warrant Payments, the Series B Warrant Payments and the Series C Warrant Payments, the “Warrant Payments”), and (b) the right to receive payments from the General Escrow Account and the Equityholders’ Representative Escrow Account in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and Section 3.3. All such Warrants shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each Certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Warrants shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Warrant Payment payable therefor and the right to receive payments from the General Escrow Account and the Equityholders’ Representative Escrow Account in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and Section 3.3. Certificates previously representing Warrants shall be exchanged for the Warrant Payment payable in respect of such Certificates, without interest, upon the surrender of such Certificates in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1.

(a) fair and equitable treatment requires each Member State not to deny justice in any legal or administrative proceedings in accordance with the principle of due process; and
(b) full protection and security requires each Member State to take such measures as may be reasonably necessary to ensure the protection and security of the covered investments.
3. A determination that there has been a breach of another provision of this Agreement, or of a separate international agreement, does not establish that there has been a breach of this Article.
Treatment of Investments (1) Each Contracting Party shall accord to investments by investors of the other Contracting Party fair and equitable treatment and full and constant protection and security.
(2) A Contracting Party shall not impair by unreasonable or discriminatory measures the management, operation, maintenance, use, enjoyment, sale and liquidation of an investment by investors of the other Contracting Party.

(4) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed as to oblige a Contracting Party to extend to the investors of the other Contracting Party and to their investments the present or future benefit of any treatment, preference or privilege resulting from
(a) any membership in a free trade area, customs union, common market, economic community or any multilateral agreement on investment;
(b) any international agreement, international arrangement or domestic legislation regarding taxation.
Treatment of Options and Convertible Securities In case the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue, sell, grant or assume any Options or Convertible Securities (both as defined below), then, and in each such case, the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number the purpose of which is to protect against dilution) at any time issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue, sale, grant or assumption; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 3.e hereof) of such shares would be less than the greater of the Current Market Price or the Warrant Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, sale, grant or assumption, as the case may be; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:
i. no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consequent issue or sale of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock;
ii. if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the consideration payable to the Company, or decrease in the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof (by change of rate or otherwise), the Warrant Price computed upon the original issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof, and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options, or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities, which are outstanding at such time;
iii. upon the expiration (or purchase by the Company and cancellation or retirement) of any such Options which shall not have been exercised, or the expiration of any rights of conversion or exchange under any such Convertible Securities which (or purchase by the Company and cancellation or retirement of any such Convertible Securities the rights of conversion or exchange under which) shall not have been exercised, the Warrant Price computed upon the original issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof, and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon (and effective as of) such expiration (or such cancellation or retirement, as the case may be), be recomputed as if:
(A) in the case of Options or Convertible Securities, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold were the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise, or for the issue or sale of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange, and
(B) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options were issued at the time of the issue, sale, grant or assumption of such Options, and the consideration received by the Company for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have then been issued was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Company (pursuant to Section 3.e hereof) upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;
Treatment of Investment Advice The Trust shall treat the investment advice and recommendations of JCM as being advisory only, and shall retain full control over its own investment policies. However, the Trustees may delegate to the appropriate officers of the Trust, or to a committee of the Trustees, the power to authorize purchases, sales or other actions affecting the portfolio of the Fund in the interim between meetings of the Trustees.
Treatment of Company Options Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that, at the Effective Time, each unexpired and unexercised Company Option shall become fully vested and exercisable and shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Company Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of such cancellation, payments in cash (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld) equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock previously subject to such Company Option multiplied by (ii) the amount by which the Option In-The-Money Amount, calculated as of the Effective Time and recalculated, if applicable, in connection with any recalculation of the Common Merger Consideration, exceeds the exercise price of such Company Option (for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of any amounts previously paid to holders of such Company Options in accordance herewith). Any such amount payable hereunder with respect to any Company Option shall be referred to as an “Option Payment”, and the aggregate of all such amounts payable hereunder shall be referred to as the “Option Payments”. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will make available to the Surviving Corporation the cash to be delivered in respect of the Option Payments based on the calculation of the Common Merger Consideration at the Effective Time (the “Closing Option Payments”). Option Payments following the Effective Time shall be made on or about the same dates, and subject to the same terms, as payments of the Merger Consideration to the holders of Company Capital Stock. Any Company Options shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the applicable Option Payments in accordance with this Section 2.6(d), which for the avoidance of doubt includes the right to receive payments in connection with any Excess Payment or any release of funds from the General Escrow Account or the Equityholders’ Representative Escrow Account. At the Effective Time, all Company Option Plans shall be terminated and no further Company Options shall be granted thereunder. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of Company Options to enter into a written agreement effectuating the foregoing, and the payment of the Option Payment to each holder of Company Options shall be subject to such holder’s execution and delivery of such agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (such agreement, an “Option Holder Letter”).
Vote to Increase Authorized Common Stock Each Stockholder agrees to vote or cause to be voted all Shares owned by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from time to time to ensure that there will be sufficient shares of Common Stock available for conversion of all of the shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at any given time.
