On October 3, 2017, Purchaser merged with and into the Company pursuant to Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, with the Company being the surviving corporation (the "Merger") and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

- F11This vested option was cancelled at the effective time of the Merger in exchange for a cash payment equal to the per-share merger consideration, less the exercise price of the option.
- F12Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each option to purchase Company common stock (each, a "Company Option") then outstanding and unexercised, other than any vested in-the-money Company Option, was assumed and converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Parent common stock, on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as were applicable to such Company Option, equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company common stock subject to such Company Option multiplied by (ii) the Equity Award Conversion Ratio, and with an exercise price equal to the quotient of (i) the exercise price of such Company Option divided by (ii) the Equity Award Conversion Ratio.
- F13This option provided for 25% vesting on December 17, 2016, and vesting thereafter in 36 equal monthly installments.
