(a)           IAC will cause the IAC Health and Welfare Plans in effect at the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time (“IAC H&W Plans”) to provide coverage to Match Employees and Former Match Employees (and, in each case, their beneficiaries and dependents) from and after November 24, 2015 until the Benefits Participation End Date (such period, the “H&W Continuation Period”). Coverage following the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time shall be on the same basis as immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time and in accordance with the terms of IAC’s Health and Welfare Plans. Following the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time, Match shall pay to IAC fees in respect of IAC covering such Match Employees and Former Match Employees under the IAC Health and Welfare Plans, such fees to be based on the per-employee budgeted rates set forth on Schedule A to this Agreement. The fees contemplated by this Section 4.1(a) shall be payable in advance each month (i.e., not later than the first day of any month during which coverage applies) during the H&W Continuation Period and shall be based on the prior month’s enrollment, with appropriate, subsequent adjustments in each succeeding month to reflect actual enrollment, consistent with the practices in effect prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time. In addition, Match shall be subject to the same policies with respect to “catch up” premium payments and “premium holidays” applicable to other IAC companies participating in the IAC H&W Plans, consistent with the practices in effect prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time. In the event that Match fails to pay in a timely manner the fees contemplated by this Section 4.1(a), IAC shall have no obligation to continue, and may cease, to provide the coverage contemplated by this Section 4.1(a) to the Match Employees and Former Match Employees commencing on the fifteenth day that any such fees are past due.

To the extent Annual H&W Expenses (i) exceed the aggregate fees paid by IAC and Match in respect of coverage during the applicable calendar year of IAC Employees and Former IAC Employees and Match Employees and Former Match Employees, Match shall be required to pay to IAC by wire transfer its ratable portion (calculated on the basis of the number of Match Employees relative to the total number of IAC Employees and Match Employees taken together) of the fees deficit, and (ii) are less than the Annual H&W Expenses, IAC shall pay to Match its ratable portion (calculated on the basis of the number of Match Employees relative to the total number of IAC Employees and Match Employees taken together) of the excess fees collected, any such payments pursuant to clause (i) or clause (ii) to be made no later than July 15 following the applicable calendar year. Any calculations made by IAC pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall be final and binding upon Match and the calculations contemplated by this Section 4.1(b) shall be adjusted to take into account any calendar year in which participation by Match Employees and Former Match Employees in the IAC Health and Welfare Plans is for less than the full calendar year.

  (a)           Effective as of the date following the Benefits Participation End Date, Match shall adopt Health and Welfare Plans for the benefit of Match Employees and Former Match Employees, and Match shall be responsible for all Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from health and welfare coverage or claims incurred by or on behalf of Match Employees and Former Match Employees or their covered dependents under the Match Health and Welfare Plans after the Benefits Participation End Date.

ARTICLE VI 

EQUITY AWARD ADJUSTMENTS

 

6.1           IAC Long-Term Incentive Plans. IAC and Match shall take all actions necessary or appropriate so that each outstanding IAC Option and IAC RSU Award granted under any IAC Long-Term Incentive Plan held by any individual shall be adjusted as set forth in this ARTICLE VI. The adjustments set forth below shall be the sole adjustments made with respect to IAC Options and IAC RSU Awards in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement.

 

(a)            Currently Outstanding IAC Options. As determined by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the IAC Board of Directors (the “IAC Committee”) pursuant to its authority under the applicable IAC Long-Term Incentive Plan, each IAC Option that is outstanding (x) on December 19, 2019 and (y) as of immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time shall be converted into both an IAC Option and a Match Option and shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions after the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time as the terms and conditions applicable to such IAC Option immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time; provided, however, that from and after the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time:

 

(i)             (A) the number of shares of IAC Common Stock subject to such IAC Option shall be equal to the same number of shares of IAC Common Stock subject to such IAC Option immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time, and (B) the per share exercise price of such IAC Option, rounded up to the nearest one one hundredth of a cent (i.e to the fourth decimal place), shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the per share exercise price of such IAC Option immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time by (2) the IAC Ratio; and

 

 

(ii)            (A) the number of shares of Match Common Stock subject to such Match Option, rounded down to the nearest whole share, shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the number of shares of IAC Common Stock subject to such IAC Option immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time by (2) the Reclassification Exchange Ratio, and (B) the per share exercise price of such Match Option, rounded up to the nearest one one hundredth of a cent (i.e. to the fourth decimal place), shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the per share exercise price of such IAC Option immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time by (2) the Match Ratio.

 

(b)           Newly Granted IAC Options. As determined by the IAC Committee pursuant to its authority under the applicable IAC Long-Term Incentive Plan, each IAC Option that is (x) granted after December 19, 2019 and (y) outstanding as of immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time shall be subject to the same terms and conditions after the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time as the terms and conditions applicable to such IAC Option immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time; provided, however, that from and after the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time (i) the number of shares of IAC Common Stock subject to such IAC Option, rounded down to the nearest whole share, shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of IAC Common Stock subject to such IAC Option immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time by (B) the IAC Ratio and (ii) the per share exercise price of such IAC Option, rounded up to the nearest one one hundredth of a cent (i.e. to the fourth decimal place), shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of such IAC Option immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time by (B) the IAC Ratio

 

(c)           IAC RSU Awards. As determined by the IAC Committee pursuant to its authority under the applicable IAC Long-Term Incentive Plan, each IAC RSU Award shall be subject to the same terms and conditions immediately after the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time as the terms and conditions applicable to such IAC RSU Award immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time; provided, however, that from and after the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time, (i) the number of shares of IAC Common Stock covered by each IAC RSU Award, rounded to the nearest whole share, shall be equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of IAC Common Stock covered by such IAC RSU Award immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time and (B) the IAC Ratio, and (ii) for any IAC RSU Awards subject to performance conditions, the performance conditions shall be equitably adjusted, as determined by the IAC Committee, to reflect the impact of the Separation Transactions.

 

(d)          Foreign Grants/Awards.

 

(i)             To the extent that any of the IAC Options or IAC RSU Awards are granted to non-U.S. employees under any domestic or foreign equity-based incentive program sponsored by an IAC Entity, IAC and Match shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to preserve, at and after the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time, the value and tax treatment accorded to such IAC Options and such IAC RSU Awards granted to non-U.S. employees under any domestic or foreign equity-based incentive program sponsored by an IAC Entity.

 

 

(ii)           To the extent that any of the Match Options or Match RSU Awards are granted to non-U.S. employees under any domestic or foreign equity-based incentive program sponsored by a Match Entity, IAC and Match shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to preserve, at and after the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time, the value and tax treatment accorded to such Match Options and such Match RSU Awards granted to non-U.S. employees under any domestic or foreign equity-based incentive program sponsored by a Match Entity.

 

6.2            Match Long-Term Incentive Plans. As determined by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Match Board of Directors pursuant to its authority under the applicable Match Long-Term Incentive Plan, each equity award (“Match Equity Award”) corresponding to shares of Match Common Stock shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 2.03(g) of the Transaction Agreement.

 

6.3           Miscellaneous Option and Other Award Terms. IAC Options and IAC RSU Awards adjusted pursuant to Section 6.1, regardless of by whom held, shall be settled by IAC pursuant to the terms of the applicable IAC Long-Term Incentive Plan, and Match Equity Awards (including IAC Options that convert into Match Options pursuant to Section 6.1), regardless of by whom held, shall be settled by Match pursuant to the terms of the applicable Match Long-Term Incentive Plan. It is intended that, to the extent of the issuance of Match Options in connection with the adjustment provisions of Section 6.1, the applicable Match Long-Term Incentive Plan shall be considered a successor to each of the IAC Long-Term Incentive Plans and Match shall be considered to have assumed the obligations of the applicable IAC Long-Term Incentive Plan to make the adjustment of the IAC Options and IAC Awards as set forth in Section 6.1. The Mandatory Exchange Effective Time shall not constitute a termination of employment for any IAC Employee for purposes of any Match Option and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, with respect to grants adjusted pursuant to Section 6.1, employment with IAC shall be treated as employment with Match with respect to Match Options held by IAC Employees. The Mandatory Exchange Effective Time shall not constitute a termination of employment for any Match Employee for purposes of any IAC Option and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, with respect to grants adjusted pursuant to Section 6.1, employment with Match shall be treated as employment with IAC with respect to IAC Options held by Match Employees. Termination of employment following the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time from (i) all IAC Entities shall be treated as a termination of employment with respect to any Match Options held by an IAC Employee and (ii) all Match Entities shall be treated as a termination of employment with respect to any IAC Options held by a Match Employee.

 

6.4           Waiting Period for Exercisability of Options and Settlement of RSU Awards. The IAC Options and Match Options shall not be exercisable during a period beginning on a date prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time reasonably determined by IAC, and continuing until the IAC Post-Separation Value and the Match Post-Separation Value are determined, or such longer period as IAC, with respect to IAC Options, and Match, with respect to Match Options, reasonably determines is necessary to implement the provisions of this Article VI. The IAC RSU Awards and Match RSU Awards shall not be settled during a period beginning on a date prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time determined by IAC in its sole discretion, and continuing until the IAC Post-Separation Value and the Match Post-Separation Value are determined immediately after the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time, or such longer period as IAC, with respect to IAC RSU Awards, and Match, with respect to Match RSU Awards, determines is necessary to implement the provisions of this Article VI.

 

 

6.5           Treatment of Specified RSU Awards. The Parties agree to the treatment set forth on Schedule B to this Agreement of the restricted stock units set forth on Schedule B to this Agreement.

If any provision of this Agreement is dependent on the consent of any third party (such as a vendor) and such consent is withheld, the Parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the applicable provisions of this Agreement to the full extent practicable. If any provision of this Agreement cannot be implemented due to the failure of such third party to consent, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to implement the provision in a mutually satisfactory manner.
