Treatment of Payments Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement to the contrary, in the event that an independent, nationally recognized, accounting firm which shall be designated by the Company with the Executive’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (the “Accounting Firm”) shall determine that any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Executive from the Company or any of its affiliates or from any person who effectuates a change in control or effective control of the Company or any of such person’s affiliates (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and benefits, the “Total Payments”) would fail to be deductible under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or otherwise would be subject (in whole or part) to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”) then the Accounting Firm shall determine if the payments or benefits to be received by the Executive that are subject to Section 280G of the Code shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax, but such reduction shall occur if and only to the extent that the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes, and employment, Social Security and Medicare taxes on such reduced Total Payments), is greater than or equal to the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes and employment, Social Security and Medicare taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax (or any other excise tax) to which the Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments). For purposes of this Section 6(a), the above tax amounts shall be determined by applying the highest marginal rate under Section 1 of the Code and under state and local laws which applied (or is likely to apply) to the Executive’s taxable income for the tax year in which the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G of the Code occurs, or such other rate(s) as the Accounting Firm determines to be likely to apply to the Executive in the relevant tax year(s) in which any of the Total Payments is expected to be made. If the Accounting Firm determines that the Executive would not retain a larger amount on an after-tax basis if the Total Payments were so reduced, then the Executive shall retain all of the Total Payments.
Treatment of Note To the extent permitted by generally accepted accounting principles, the Company will treat, account and report the Note as debt and not equity for accounting purposes and with respect to any returns filed with federal, state or local tax authorities.
Treatment of Fees Except as otherwise provided by Law, the fees described in this SECTION 5: (a) do not constitute compensation for the use, detention, or forbearance of money, (b) are in addition to, and not in lieu of, interest and expenses otherwise described in this Agreement, (c) shall be payable in accordance with SECTION 3.1, (d) shall be non-refundable, (e) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, bear interest, if not paid when due, at the Default Rate, and (f) shall be calculated on the basis of actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed, but computed as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days, unless such computation would result in interest being computed in excess of the Maximum Rate in which event such computation shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.
Treatment of Unexchanged Shares No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon surrender thereof, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.02(f), until the surrender of such Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) in accordance with this Article II. Subject to escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form), there shall be paid to the holder of the certificate representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.
Tax Treatment of Payments Except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), Seller and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) treat any and all payments under this Article VII, Section 2.7, and Article X as an adjustment to the purchase price for Tax purposes.
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.
Treatment of Options (a) At the Effective Time of the Merger, each outstanding option to purchase Company Common Stock (a "Company Stock Option") issued pursuant to the Company's Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan") or the Company's Stock Option and Restricted Stock Purchase Plan (the "Option Plan" and, collectively with the Director Plan, the "Company Stock Plans"), whether vested or unvested, shall be deemed to constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Stock Option, those shares of Parent Common Stock and CVPs which the holder of such Company Stock Option would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger if such holder had exercised such option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger (utilizing the Exchange Ratio as set forth in Section 2.01 of this Agreement), at a price per share equal to (y) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such Company Stock Option divided by (z) the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock deemed purchasable pursuant to such Company Stock Option (a "Converted Option"); provided, however, that in the case of any option to which Section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification under Section 422 of the Code ("incentive stock options"), the option price, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in order to comply with Section 424(a) of the Code. If the relevant Company Stock Option is not exercised prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in Exhibit A), any CVPs due pursuant thereto shall terminate and become null and void. If the relevant Company Stock Option is exercised, in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in Exhibit A), upon the sale of any shares of Parent Common Stock received upon the exercise of the relevant Company Stock Option, the CVPs due pursuant to such shares sold shall terminate and become null and void.
