Fractional Shares . (a) No fractional SpinCo Shares shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip or book-entry credit of the same for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Merger Partner Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to fractional SpinCo Shares shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share, be entitled to receive, from the Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.3 , a cash payment representing such holder’s proportionate interest, if any, in the proceeds from the sale by the Agent (reduced by any fees of the Agent attributable to such sale) in one or more transactions of SpinCo Shares equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate number of SpinCo Shares to be delivered to the Agent by SpinCo pursuant to Section 3.2(a) over (ii) the aggregate number of whole SpinCo Shares to be distributed to the holders of shares of Merger Partner Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.2(b) (such excess, the “ Excess Shares ”). Parent, SpinCo, Merger Partner and Merger Sub acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional SpinCo Shares was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to SpinCo that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional SpinCo Shares. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time and in no case later than ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Time, the Agent, as agent for the holders of Merger Partner Common Stock that would otherwise receive fractional SpinCo Shares, shall sell the Excess Shares at then prevailing prices on the NYSE in the manner provided in the following paragraph. (b) The sale of the Excess Shares by the Agent, as agent for the holders of Merger Partner Common Stock that would otherwise receive fractional SpinCo Shares, shall be executed on the NYSE and shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable. Until the proceeds of such sale or sales have been distributed to the holders of Merger Partner Common Stock, the Agent shall hold such proceeds in trust for the holders of Merger Partner Common Stock that would otherwise receive fractional SpinCo Shares (the “ Common Shares Trust ”). The Agent shall determine the portion of the Common Shares Trust to which each holder of Merger Partner Common Stock shall be entitled, if any, by multiplying the amount of the aggregate proceeds comprising the Common Shares Trust by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the fractional share interest to which such holder of Merger Partner Common Stock would otherwise be entitled and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of fractional share interests to which all holders of Merger Partner Common Stock would otherwise be entitled. (c) As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Merger Partner Common Stock in lieu of any fractional SpinCo Shares, the Agent shall make available such amounts to such holders of shares of Merger Partner Common Stock, without interest, subject to and in accordance with Section 3.2 . SECTION 3.4. Parent Equity Compensation Awards . Each Parent Equity Compensation Award held by a SpinCo Service Provider as of the Effective Time shall be treated as set forth in the Employee Matters Agreement; provided that, at or prior to the Effective Time, to effectuate the treatment of Parent Equity Compensation Awards held by any SpinCo Participants as set forth in the Employee Matters Agreement, Merger Partner shall either (i) establish or adopt an equity compensation plan or (ii) utilize Merger Partner’s existing equity compensation plan. 28 SECTION 3.5.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.5(a) , each such Converted RSU Award shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Merger Partner Rollover RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (including the requirement to perform continued services to satisfy applicable time-based vesting conditions (if any) and any “double-trigger” vesting provisions applicable to such Merger Partner Rollover RSUs).

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.5(b) , each such Converted PSU Award shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions (other than performance-based vesting conditions, which shall be modified as set forth on Section 3.5(b) of the Merger Partner Disclosure Letter) as applied to the corresponding Merger Partner Rollover PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (including the requirement to perform continued services to satisfy applicable time-based vesting conditions and any “double-trigger” vesting provisions applicable to such Merger Partner Rollover PSUs).
