(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of thisAgreement, at theEffective Time, by virtue of theMerger and without any further action on the part ofParent,Merger Sub, theCompany or any stockholder of theCompany:
(i) any shares ofCompany Common Stock owned by any wholly owned Subsidiary of theCompany immediately prior to theEffective Time (or held in theCompany’s treasury) shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;
(ii) any shares ofCompany Common Stock owned byParent,Merger Sub or any other wholly owned Subsidiary ofParent immediately prior to theEffective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;
(iii) except as provided in clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” above and subject to Sections 1.5(c), 1.5(d) and 1.5(e), each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive 0.31782 of a share of Parent Common Stock (such number as may be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.5(b), the “Exchange Ratio”); and

(c) If any shares ofCompany Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to theEffective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchaseagreement or otherContract with theCompany or under which theCompany has any rights, then (except to the extent provided in any bindingagreement between theCompany and the holder thereof): (i) the shares ofParent Common Stock issued in exchange for such shares ofCompany Common Stock will also be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition; and (ii) the certificates representing such shares ofParent Common Stock may accordingly be marked with appropriate legends.

The shares ofParent Common Stock and cash amounts so deposited with theExchange Agent, together with any dividends or distributions received by theExchange Agent with respect to such shares ofParent Common Stock, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.”
(b) Promptly after theEffective Time, theExchange Agent will mail to thePersons who were record holdersof Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares immediately prior to theEffective Time: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions asParent may reasonably specify and theCompany shall reasonably approve prior to theEffective Time (including a provision confirming that deliveryof Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares shall be effected, and risk of loss and titleto Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares shall pass, only upon deliveryof such Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares to theExchange Agent); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrenderof Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares in exchange for non-certificated shares ofParent Common Stock in book entry form.

Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section1.7(b), each Company Stock Certificate and Book Entry Share shall be deemed, from and after theEffective Time, to represent only the right to receive shares ofParent Common Stock (and cash in lieu of any fractional share ofParent Common Stock) as contemplated bySection 1.5 and any dividends or other distributions pursuant toSection 1.7(c). If anyCompany Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed,Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition to the issuance of any non-certificated shares ofParent Common Stock in book entry form, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyedCompany Stock Certificate to post a bond, in such reasonable and customary amount asParent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made againstExchange Agent,Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to suchCompany Stock Certificate.

None of theAPI Corporations, and noCompany Affiliate, has ever maintained, established, sponsored, participated in or contributed to anyCompany Pension Plan in which stock of any of theAPI Corporations or anyCompany Affiliate is or was held as a plan asset. The fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance, or the book reserve established for any Foreign Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide in full for the accrued benefit obligations, with respect to all current and former participants in such Foreign Plan according to the reasonable actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to determine employer contributions to and obligations under such Foreign Plan, and noContemplated Transaction will cause any such assets or insurance obligations to be less than such benefit obligations.

(h) Except as set forth in Part 2.18(h) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and except as expressly required or provided by thisAgreement, neither the execution of thisAgreement nor the consummation of theContemplated Transactions will orwould reasonably be expected to (either alone or upon the occurrence of termination of employment) constitute an event under anyCompany Employee Plan,Company Employee Agreement, trust or loan that will or may result (either alone or in connection with any other circumstance or event) in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise), acceleration, forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting, distribution, increase in benefits or obligation to fund benefits with respect to anyCompany Associate.

NoAPI Corporation is a party to or has any obligation under anyContract to compensate anyPerson for excise taxes payable pursuant toSection 4999 of theCode or for additionalTaxes payable pursuant toSection 409A of theCode. TheCompany has made available toParent true and complete copies of anySection 280G calculations prepared (whether or not final) with respect to any disqualified individual in connection with the transactions contemplated by thisAgreement.

Neither the terms nor the performance of anyCompany Employee Agreement orCompany Employee Plan would reasonably be expected to result in gross income inclusion after theEffective Time pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1)(A) of the Code.
