Section 2.8 Treatment of Options. At the Effective Time, each of the outstanding options to purchase Company Common Units issued by the Company under the MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC Equity Incentive Plan and the MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC California Equity Incentive Plan (each, an “Existing Option”), shall be converted into an option (a “Parent Option”) to purchase that number of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of Company Common Units subject to such Existing Option by the Common Exchange Multiple, at an exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock equal to the Existing Option exercise price per Company Common Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Common Exchange Multiple, rounded down to the nearest whole cent.

option shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares, with no cash being payable for such fractional share. The terms and conditions of each Parent Option shall otherwise remain as set forth in the Existing Option converted into such Parent Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing and to the extent required with respect to any “incentive stock options,” as defined in Section 422(b) of the Code, such adjustment shall be effected in a manner that is consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code and the applicable regulations thereunder.

From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Company of Company Units that were outstanding prior to the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, all Existing Options that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be converted into a Parent Option pursuant to this Article 2. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Company of Existing Options that were outstanding prior to the Effective Time.
Section 2.10 Distribution Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall makes such arrangements as it deems appropriate to effect the delivery of certificates evidencing the shares of Parent Stock, to the extent such shares are certificated, to each former holder of the Company Units (the “Share Certificates”), which shares such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that Parent shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of shares of Parent Stock and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the holder entitled to such issue or delivery has paid to Parent the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of Parent, that such tax has been paid. From and after the Effective Time, a holder of Company Units or Existing Options immediately prior to the Effective Time shall have no further rights of any kind as a holder of Company Units or Existing Options, other than the right to receive the Parent Common Stock, Parent Series B Preferred Stock or Parent Options, as the case may be, described in this Article 2.
