converted into the right to receive that number of shares of Parent
Common Stock equal to the Common Exchange Ratio.
1.6
Options to Acquire Company
Capital Stock . At
the Effective Time, each Company Option, whether vested or
unvested, shall be substituted or replaced by Parent in accordance
with the terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of
the Stock Option Plan and the stock option agreement by which such

Time:
(a)
each Parent Option issued as a
replacement or substitute for a Company Option may be exercised
solely for shares of Parent Common Stock;
(b)

Common Stock subject to each Parent Option shall be equal to the
number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to the
replaced or substituted Company Option immediately prior to the
Effective Time multiplied by the Common Exchange Ratio, rounded
down to the nearest whole number;
(c)
the per share exercise price for the
shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each
replacement or substituted Parent Option shall be determined by
dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock
subject to such Company Option as in effect immediately prior to

resulting exercise price up to the nearest one-tenth (1/10) of one
cent;
(d)
the replacement or substituted
Parent Option shall contain the same restrictions on exercise and
the same term, exercisability and vesting schedule as in effect on
the Closing Date for the Company Option that was replaced or

all action that may be necessary under the Stock Option Plan and
Parent Stock Option Plan, to effectuate the provisions of this

Time, each Company Warrant will be exchanged for a new warrant
issued by Parent ( “Parent Warrant” ), or

reasonably acceptable to Parent, which shall be exercisable for a
number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the number of
shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock, as
applicable, that were subject to the exchanged Company Warrant
immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Common
Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest one-tenth (1/10) of a
share. The per share exercise price for the shares of Parent
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each exchanged Parent
Warrant shall be determined by dividing the exercise price per
share of Company Common Stock or Common Preferred Stock subject to
such Company Warrant as in effect immediately prior to the
Effective Time, by the Common Exchange Ratio, and rounding the
resulting exercise price up to the nearest one-tenth (1/10) of one
cent, and the exchanged Parent Warrant shall contain the same
restrictions on exercise and the same term, exercisability and
vesting schedule as in effect on the Closing Date for the Company
Warrant that was replaced or substituted.
The Company and Parent shall take
all action necessary to effectuate the provisions of this
Section 1.7 including in the case of the Company obtaining the
Consent of all holders of Company Warrants to exchange the Company
Warrants in accordance with this Section 1.7.

Transfer Books. At
the Effective Time: (a) all shares of capital stock of the
Company outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall

all holders of certificates representing shares of capital stock of
the Company that were outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of
the Company, and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company
shall be closed with respect to all shares of such capital stock of
the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No
further transfer of any such shares of capital stock of the Company
shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective
Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously
representing any shares of capital stock of the Company (a
“Company Stock Certificate” ) is
presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such Company
Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as
provided in Section 1.9.
4
1.9
Exchange of
Certificates.
(a)
On the Closing Date, to the extent
that the Company shall have delivered a written request to Parent
and the relevant Company Stock Certificates have been surrendered
for cancellation to Parent no later than five (5) business
days prior to the Closing Date and Parent has received a letter of
transmittal from the relevant holder of Company Capital Stock in
customary form and containing such customary provisions (as
reasonably agreed to by Parent and Company within 10 days after the
date of this Agreement), Parent shall deliver certificates
representing shares of Parent Common Stock to each such holder of
record of a Company Stock Certificate that immediately prior to the
Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Capital
Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive shares
of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.5(c). As
soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent
will send (or cause to be sent) to the record holders of Company
Stock Certificates (other than record holders of Company Stock
Certificates as to which certificates representing Parent Common
Stock are delivered at Closing) (i) a letter of transmittal in
customary form and containing such customary provisions as Parent
or its transfer agent may reasonably specify (including a provision
confirming that delivery of Company Stock Certificates shall be
effected, and risk of loss and title to Company Stock Certificates
shall pass, only upon delivery of such Company Stock Certificates
to Parent), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the
surrender of Company Stock Certificates in exchange for the Merger
Consideration. Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate to
Parent or its transfer agent for exchange, together with a duly
executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be
reasonably required by Parent, Parent shall cause to be delivered
to the holder of such Company Stock Certificate a certificate
representing that number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such
holder has the right to receive pursuant to
Section 1.5(c) rounded up to the nearest whole number.
All Company Stock Certificates so surrendered shall be canceled.
Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.9, each
Company Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the
Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the Merger
Consideration in accordance with this Agreement. If any Company
Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent
may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance
of any certificate representing Parent Common Stock or the payment
of cash in lieu of fractional shares, require the owner of such
lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an
appropriate affidavit and indemnity and to deliver a bond (in such
sum as Parent may reasonably direct) as indemnity to Parent against
any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving
Corporation with respect to such Company Stock
Certificate.
(b)
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 Company Stock Certificate with respect to the shares
of Parent Common Stock represented thereby, and no cash payment in
lieu of any fractional share shall be paid to any such holder,
until such holder surrenders such Company Stock Certificate or an
appropriate affidavit and bond with respect to any lost, stolen or
destroyed Company Stock Certificate, in each case in accordance
with this Section 1.9 (at which time such holder shall be
entitled to receive all such dividends and distributions and such
cash payment).
(c)
Each of Parent and the Surviving
Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any
consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this
Agreement such amounts as Parent and the Surviving Corporation are
required to deduct or withhold therefrom under the Code or any
provision of state, local or foreign tax law or under
5
any other applicable Legal
Requirement. To the extent Parent or the Surviving Corporation is
deducting and withholding any such consideration based on any Legal
Requirement other than any Legal Requirement under the Code, Parent
or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Company of the
amounts required to be withheld and the Legal Requirement that
imposes such withholding obligation at least ten (10) days
prior to the date when the applicable withholding shall be made,
and in any event shall provide such notification when such
withholding is made. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or
withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this
Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts
would otherwise have been paid.
(d)
Each certificate representing shares
of Parent Common Stock to be issued in accordance with this
Agreement shall bear a legend substantially in the following
form:
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY
THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED,
PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH SHARES ARE REGISTERED
UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO PARENT IS
OBTAINED TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED”.
(e)
Neither Parent nor the Surviving
Corporation shall be liable to any holder or former holder of
capital stock of the Company or to any other Person for any shares
of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect
thereto), or for any cash amounts, delivered to any public official
pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or
similar Legal Requirement.
1.10
Appraisal Rights.
(a)
Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock
that have not been voted in favor of (nor consented in writing to)
adoption of this Agreement, and with respect to which a demand for
payment and appraisal have been properly made in accordance with
(i) Section 262 of DGCL or (ii) Chapter 13 of the
California Corporations Code (to the extent applicable to the
Company by virtue of Section 2115 thereof) (in either
case, “Dissenting Shares” ), will not be
converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger
Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5(c) and
Section 1.9, but will be converted into the right to receive
such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to
such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL or the California
Corporations Code, as applicable; provided, however , that
if a holder of Dissenting Shares (a “Dissenting
Stockholder” ) withdraws such holder’s demand
for such payment and appraisal or becomes ineligible for such
payment and appraisal then, as of the later of the Effective Time
or the date on which such Dissenting Stockholder withdraws such
demand or otherwise becomes ineligible for such payment and
appraisal, such holder’s Dissenting Shares will cease to be
Dissenting Shares and will be converted into the right to receive
Parent Common Stock as determined in accordance with
Section 1.5(c).
(b)
The Company shall give Parent
(i) prompt written notice of any demands by Dissenting
Stockholders received by the Company prior to the Effective Time,
withdrawals of
6
such demands and any other material
notice, instrument or correspondence delivered to the Company prior
to the Effective Time in connection with such demands, and
(ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and
proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice, instrument or
correspondence. The Company shall not make any payment or
settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any
such demand unless Parent shall have consented in writing to such
payment or settlement offer.
1.11
Further Action.
If, at any time after the
Effective Time, any further action is reasonably determined by
Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of
this Agreement and any Related Agreement or to vest the Surviving
Corporation or Parent with full right, title and possession of and
to all rights and property of Merger Sub, the Company and the
Surviving Corporation, the officers and directors of the Surviving
Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of
Merger Sub, in the name of the Company, in the name of the
Surviving Corporation and otherwise) to take such
action.
