The Merger Agreement provides that at the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares, but including Company Warrant Shares that are designated shares of Common Stock) shall automatically be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $2.08 in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Merger Price”), payable to the holder thereof upon surrender of such shares of Common Stock in the manner provided in the Merger Agreement.

For each Warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, unless otherwise elected by the holder of any such Warrant, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to issue a replacement warrant to each holder thereof providing that such replacement warrant shall be exercisable for an amount in respect of each share of Common Stock for which such Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time equal to cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the excess of (A) the Per Share Merger Price over (B) the exercise price payable per share of Common Stock subject to such Warrant. From and after the Closing, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to comply with all of the terms and conditions set forth in each such replacement warrant, including the obligation to make the payments contemplated thereby upon exercise thereof.
