(2)  Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each award of vested restricted shares stock option of the Company that is outstanding and vested, whether exercised or unexercised, was cancelled in exchange for a payment in cash equal to the product of (i) the total number of Vested Restricted Shares immediately prior to such cancellation (which, in the case of awards of performance-vesting restricted shares, shall be calculated for "Target Level" performance, as defined in the award agreements) and (ii) the Offer Price.
(3)  Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each vested stock option of the Company that is outstanding and vested, whether exercised or unexercised, was cancelled in exchange for a payment in cash equal to the product of (i) the total amount of common stock subject to such Vested Option immediately prior to such cancellation and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Offer Price over the exercise price per Company Share subject to such Vested Option immediately prior to such cancellation.
