Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance occurs; and in the event that such rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities are not so issued or expire or cease to be convertible or exchangeable before they are exercised, converted, or exchanged (as the case may be), then the Consultant Shares shall again be adjusted to be the number of Consultant Shares that would then be in effect if such issuance had not occurred, but such subsequent adjustment shall not affect the number of Consultant Shares issued prior to the date such subsequent adjustment is made.

The assumption and conversion of Unvested Company Options by Parent are intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.424-1 (to the extent such options were incentive stock options) and of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). Following the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of Parent or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Board of Directors of Company or any committee thereof with respect to each Assumed Option and references to Company shall become references to Parent under the applicable Company Option Plan and stock option agreement or other document evidencing such Assumed Option. Each unvested outstanding Company Option that is not an Unvested Company Option shall be treated as a Cancelled Option and shall be cancelled and extinguished, with no consideration payable in connection with such cancellation and no further rights to the holder thereof, at the Effective Time.
