At the Closing, without any action on the part of the holders of any options exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock (“Company Stock Options”), each then outstanding Company Stock Option will be assumed by BRPA and automatically exchanged for an option to purchase shares of BRPA Common Stock (“Substitute Options”). Each Substitute Option will be issued pursuant to the BRPA Plan and will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable documents evidencing the terms of the Company Stock Option (including any applicable incentive plan and stock option agreement or other document evidencing such Company Stock Option) immediately prior to the Closing, including any repurchase rights or vesting provisions, except that # each Substitute Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of BRPA Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Closing multiplied by the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of BRPA Common Stock and # the per share exercise price for the shares of BRPA Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Substitute Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Company Stock Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Closing by the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The Company shall take no action, other than those actions contemplated by this Agreement, that will cause or result in the accelerated vesting of the assumed Company Stock Options. Each Substitute Option shall be vested immediately following the Closing as to the same percentage of the total number of shares subject thereto as the Company Stock Option was vested as to immediately prior to the Closing. BRPA shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form or comparable form in another relevant jurisdiction) relating to the Substitute Options promptly in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, and BRPA shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as any Substitute Options remain outstanding. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, BRPA will use reasonable best efforts to issue to each Person who holds a Substitute Option a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such Company Stock Option by BRPA.
