Any ordinary income you recognize on your cash payment income will constitute wages and, if you were an employee at the time your Vested Company Options were granted to you, will therefore be subject to withholding of applicable U.S. federal and state income and employment tax withholding.

To the extent that any of your Vested Company Options were granted as ISOs and are exercised by you, your receipt of the cash payment in connection with the Merger will be considered a disqualifying disposition of the shares underlying the ISOs. Upon the disqualifying disposition, you generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess, if any, of the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the time you exercise the ISO or (ii) the amount you realize for the shares of the common stock disposed of in the Merger, in each case less the aggregate exercise price you pay for those shares. Such income will constitute wages, taxable at ordinary income rates, but will not be subject to withholding of applicable U.S. federal and state income and employment tax withholding. Any additional gain or loss will be short-term capital gain or loss (assuming you hold such shares as a capital asset). To the extent that any of your Vested Company Options were granted as NSOs and are exercised by you, the Vested Spread shall be reported as ordinary income and be subject to applicable tax withholding (including income and employment taxes). If you received your Vested Company Options in your capacity as an employee, such income will constitute wages subject to payment of applicable U.S. federal and state income and employment tax withholding. As a stockholder, a percentage of the Merger consideration that you receive for your shares will be held back in escrow on the same terms as described above for Vested Company Options. Thus, if you elect to exercise your Vested Company Options that were granted as NSOs, please note that you will be paying tax on amounts you have not yet, and may never, receive due to the escrow.
