thereof shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by the DGCL.

 

             (b)    Notwithstanding the provisions of SECTION 4.3(a), if any

Ultravisual Stockholder who or that demands appraisal of such Person's

Ultravisual Shares under the DGCL effectively withdraws or loses (through

failure to perfect or otherwise) such Person's right to appraisal, then as of

4.1(a), upon surrender of the Ultravisual Certificates pursuant to SECTION 4.2.

 

            (c)    Ultravisual shall give Emageon (i) prompt notice of any

immediately following the Effective Time ("CONTINUING EMPLOYEES"), that are not

exercised prior to the Effective Time, to be cancelled prior to the Effective

Time pursuant to a cancellation agreement, in a form acceptable to Emageon (the

"CANCELLATION AGREEMENT") with each such Continuing Employee. Emageon agrees to

issue new Emageon stock options to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,250,000

(including in such amount the stock options to be issued pursuant to subsection

(b) below) shares of Emageon Common Stock (with respect to each such Person, at

an exercise price per share of $0.57 (or as may otherwise be mutually agreed

upon by Emageon and Ultravisual), and in such amounts and with such vesting

periods mutually agreed upon by Emageon and Ultravisual) under the Emageon, Inc.

2000 Equity Compensation Plan to the Persons who have executed a Cancellation

Agreement prior to the Effective Time.

 

            (b)    Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Time, except as

otherwise agreed to by Emageon and Ultravisual prior to Closing, Emageon shall

assume the Ultravisual Options held by any Excluded Optionee (as defined below)

that are not exercised prior to the

 

 

 

                                       14

<PAGE>

                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

 

Effective Time (each, an "ASSUMED ULTRAVISUAL OPTION"), subject to the terms and

conditions of the Ultravisual Option Plan. Each Assumed Ultravisual Option shall

continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in

the applicable Ultravisual Option (including any applicable stock option

agreement or other document evidencing such Ultravisual Option) immediately

prior to the Effective Time, except that (except as otherwise agreed to by

Emageon and Ultravisual prior to Closing) (i) each Assumed Ultravisual Option

shall be exercisable (or shall become exercisable in accordance with its terms)

for that number of whole shares of Emageon Common Stock equal to the number of

shares of Ultravisual Common Stock into which such Ultravisual Option was

exercisable, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Emageon

Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Ultravisual Option shall be

equal to $.57. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Time, Emageon shall

provide to each Person who holds an Assumed Ultravisual Option a document

evidencing the foregoing assumption of such Assumed Ultravisual Option by

Emageon. As used herein, "EXCLUDED OPTIONEE" means any Person holding

Ultravisual Options as of the Effective Time that is (A) a former employee of

Ultravisual, (B) a Person who will not perform services for Emageon immediately

following the Effective Time, (C) a Person to whom the issuance of Emageon stock

options would not be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities

Act and applicable state securities law, as determined by Emageon in its sole

discretion, or (D) a Continuing Employee who has not executed a Cancellation

Agreement.

 

            (c)    Promptly after closing, Emageon shall take all steps

reasonably necessary to grant to the UV Warrantholders, in exchange for their

cancellation and delivery to Emageon of their UV Warrants, new warrants to

purchase securities of Emageon in accordance with the terms of such UV Warrants

relating to a merger of Ultravisual with another company. The effect of such

exchange shall be that the UV Warrantholders will have the right to receive,

upon the exercise of such new warrants and payment of the exercise price

therefor, the kind and amount of Emageon securities that such UV Warrantholders

would have been entitled to receive if, immediately prior to the closing of the

Merger, such UV Warrantholders had held the number of shares of Ultravisual

Common Stock that were then purchasable upon the exercise of such UV Warrants.
