(the "Company"), BHN Holdings, Inc. and BHN Merger Sub, Inc. (the "Effective Time"), each outstanding award of restricted stock units granted to Mr. Dhawan prior to 2018 was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number of shares of common stock of the Company ("Shares") subject to such award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) $45.25, less applicable taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

(3)  At the Effective Time, each outstanding award of restricted stock units granted to Mr. Dhawan in 2018 was cancelled and converted into a restricted stock unit award of Parent with respect to a number of shares of Parent equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Shares subject to such restricted stock unit award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Exchange Ratio ($45.25 divided by the price per share paid by the equity financing sources to acquire Parent capital stock in connection with the closing).
(4)  At the Effective Time, each option to purchase Shares was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Shares subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the excess, if any, of $45.25 over the exercise price per Share of such option, less applicable taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.
