It is the intention of the parties that the Share Option Portion of the Assumed Company\nOptions shall qualify following the Effective Time as incentive stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the same extent that such Company Options qualified as incentive stock options immediately prior to the Effective Time, and the\nprovisions of this Section 1.6(e)<\/u> shall be applied in a manner consistent with this intent.<\/u> <\/font><\/p>

The exercise price per dollar of the Cash Option\nPortion of each Assumed Company Option shall be the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) obtained by dividing (1) the product of (a) the quotient obtained by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such\nCompany Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Stock Exchange Ratio, multiplied by (b) the Assumed Option Share Number, multiplied by (c) the quotient obtained by dividing the Aggregate Remaining Cash Consideration by\nthe Aggregate Consideration, by (2) the Assumed Option Cash Amount of such Assumed Company Option. <\/font><\/p>

\nArbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (the \u0093JAMS Rules<\/u>\u0094). For purposes of this Section 7.4(c)<\/u>, in any arbitration hereunder in which any claim or the amount
\nthereof stated in the Officer\u0092s Certificate is at issue, Parent shall be deemed to be the Non-Prevailing Party in the event that the arbitrators award Parent less than the sum of one-half (1\/2) of the disputed amount plus any amounts not in
\ndispute; otherwise, the shareholders of the Company as represented by the Securityholder Agent shall be deemed to be the Non-Prevailing Party. The Non-Prevailing Party to an arbitration shall pay its own expenses, the fees of each arbitrator, the
\nadministrative costs of the arbitration, and the <\/font><\/p>\n
 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nnecessary (as determined in the preceding proviso) to satisfy such unsatisfied claims <\/font><\/p>\n
 <\/font><\/p>\n
