Related to Treatment of Options and Promised Options

• Treatment of Options Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each option to purchase Shares (each, a “Company Option”) under any stock option or other equity or equity-based plan of the Company, including the 2007 Equity and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective as of June 11, 2013 (the “Company Equity Plans”), that is unexpired and unexercised and vested immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Vested Company Option”) (or portion thereof), shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Vested Company Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Vested Company Option and in settlement therefor, a payment in cash (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law) of an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares subject to such Vested Company Option immediately prior to such cancellation and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share subject to such Vested Company Option immediately prior to such cancellation (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “Option Payments”). No holder of a Vested Company Option that, as of immediately prior to such cancellation, has an exercise price per Share that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to any payment with respect to such cancelled Vested Company Option. From and after the Effective Time, each Vested Company Option shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the Option Payment, if any. On or as soon as practicable following the Closing, but in any event no later than 15 days following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall make, by a payroll payment through the Company’s or Merger Sub’s payroll provider and subject to withholding, if any, as described in Section 2.5 to each holder of Vested Company Options, such holder’s Option Payment.

• 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, or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive, any Options or Convertible Securities, 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) 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 or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date (or, if the Common Stock trades on an ex-dividend basis, on the date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading), provided that such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 2.5) of such shares would be less than the Current Market Price immediately prior to such issue, sale, grant or assumption or immediately prior to the close of business on such record date (or, if the Common Stock trades on an ex-dividend basis, on the date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading), 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

• Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Option or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such Option or to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall have expired or terminated, the Exercise Price then in effect will be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other than in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued.

• Unvested Options At the Effective Time, each option (each, a “Company Stock Option”) to purchase Shares granted under any employee or director stock option, stock purchase or equity compensation plan, arrangement or agreement of the Company, including, without limitation, under the Company’s 2002 Stock Plan, the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and the AirWave Wireless, Inc. 2000 Stock Plan, (the “Company Stock Plans”), that is unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and is held by a person providing services to the Company or its Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become an option with respect to Parent Common Stock, and Parent shall assume each unvested Company Stock Option, in accordance with the terms of the Company Stock Plans and/or stock option agreement by which it is evidenced, except that from and after the Effective Time, (i) Parent and its compensation committee (the “Parent Compensation Committee”) shall be substituted for the Company and the compensation committee of the Company Board administering such Company Stock Plans, (ii) each unvested Company Stock Option assumed by Parent may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock (or cash, if so provided under the terms of such unvested Company Stock Option or required under applicable Law), (iii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such unvested Company Stock Options shall be equal to the number of Shares subject to such unvested Company Stock Options immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share, and (iv) the per share exercise price under each such unvested Company Stock Option shall be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price under each such unvested Company Stock Option by the Exchange Ratio and rounding up to the nearest cent; provided, however, that with respect to Company Stock Options that are unvested, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and which have an exercise price greater than the Merger Consideration, such unvested Company Stock Options shall not be assumed by Parent and shall automatically terminate as of the Effective Time if not exercised prior to or as of the Effective Time. In addition, each unvested Company Stock Option that is an “incentive stock option” or a nonqualified stock option held by a US taxpayer shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Code and Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the option, within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations under Section 409A of the Code, or otherwise result in negative tax treatment or penalties under Section 424 of the Code or Section 409A of the Code, and clauses (iii) and (iv) of the first sentence of this Section 2.2(a) shall be modified to the extent necessary to ensure such compliance. “Exchange Ratio” means the fraction having a numerator equal to the Merger Consideration and having a denominator equal to the average closing price of Parent Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding (but not including) the Closing Date (the “Parent Closing Price”).

• 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: (i) immediately prior to the Effective Time, each unexpired and unexercised option to purchase Shares (the “Company Options”), under any employee, consultant or director stock option, stock purchase or equity compensation plan, arrangement or agreement of the Company, including the Company’s Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Incentive Plan and the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Award Plan, (the “Company Stock Option Plans”), whether or not then exercisable or vested, will vest (in the case of a Company Option that is subject to a performance-based vesting condition, vesting will be determined in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to the award) and 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”); (ii) 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; and (iii) if the exercise price per Share of any such Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration or, in the case of a Company Option that is subject to a performance-based vesting condition, to the extent the applicable performance-based vesting condition has not been satisfied as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and such portion of the Company Option is not required (pursuant to the terms and conditions applicable to the award) to become vested in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, such Company Option shall be cancelled immediately prior to the Effective Time without any payment being made in respect thereof.

• Restricted Stock and Stock Options Employer shall cause the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Employer to review whether Employee should be granted shares of restricted stock and/or options to purchase shares of common stock of CBSI. Such review may be conducted pursuant to the terms of the Community Bank System, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan, a successor plan, or independently, as the Compensation Committee shall determine. Reviews shall be conducted no less frequently than annually.

• Vested Options Prior to the Closing, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have adopted resolutions (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent), and the Company hereby agrees to take all other actions reasonably necessary, to cause, in accordance with the Yodlee, Inc. 1999 Stock Plan, as amended; the Yodlee, Inc. 2001 Stock Plan, as amended; the Yodlee, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended; and the Yodlee, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (collectively the “Equity Plans”), each stock option granted thereunder (“Company Stock Option”) that is vested and exercisable and that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing, including Company Stock Options that will become vested as of the Closing (the “Vested Options”) to be exercised immediately prior to the Closing in a cashless net exercise with shares of Company Common Stock that would otherwise be received on the exercise of such Vested Option being retained by the Company to cover the exercise price and any applicable tax withholding obligations and to issue the net number of shares of Company Common Stock upon such net exercise to the holder of such Company Stock Option where the value of a share of Company Common Stock for purposes of the foregoing shall be the sum of (i) the Per Share Cash Consideration and (ii) the value of the Per Share Stock Consideration and for purposes of determining the value of the Per Share Stock Consideration, the Parent Stock Value used to determine the Per Share Stock Consideration will be used. As of the Effective Time, each such share of Company Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive the sum of (i) the Per Share Cash Consideration and (ii) the Per Share Stock Consideration pursuant to the terms of this Article I. Each Vested Option outstanding immediately prior to the date of exercise, when exercised in accordance with this Section 1.7(a) or otherwise, shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist. The Company agrees to process the exercise of the Vested Options through payroll as appropriate and to remit any necessary withholding amounts that arise upon the exercise of the Vested Options to the appropriate Tax authorities or Governmental Entities, as required by applicable law.

• Treatment of Equity Awards Upon a Change of Control, all equity awards with time-based vesting shall immediately fully vest and become non-forfeitable and each equity award which has been granted (or any other equity award which would otherwise have been granted to the Executive during the applicable performance period/calendar year in the ordinary course) with performance vesting shall vest at an amount based upon and to the extent of the Employers’ achievement of performance goals during the performance period under each such equity award through the end of the calendar month immediately preceding the Change in Control.

• Vested Company Options Immediately prior to but contingent upon the Closing, each Company Option that is unexpired, unexercised and vested immediately prior to the Closing (“Vested Options”) shall, by virtue of the Closing and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, be automatically cancelled, and each Optionholder holding Vested Options shall have the right to receive, with respect to such Vested Options, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Closing Date Purchase Price (subject to withholding of such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share in each of the Adjustment Holdback Amount, the Expense Fund), and (B) the right to receive such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of any cash disbursements that may become payable, with respect to such Vested Options, from the Adjustment Holdback Amount and the Expense Fund, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (C) the right to receive such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of any positive Adjustment Amount that may become payable, with respect to such Vested Options, pursuant to Section 2.8, and (D) the right to receive such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of any Earnout Consideration that may become payable under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.9. The amount of cash that each holder of Vested Options is entitled to receive for such Vested Options will be subject to any applicable payroll, income Tax or other withholding Taxes and the provisions of the Israeli Tax Ruling and/or the Israeli Interim Tax Ruling if obtained. For the avoidance of doubt, an Optionholder’s “Pro Rata Share” for purposes of this Section 2.2(a) shall be calculated based on such Optionholder’s holding of Vested Options (disregarding any shares of the Company or Unvested Options held by such Optionholder).
