Instead, the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such Person shall be aggregated and the shares of Parent Preferred Stock issuable to such Person shall be aggregated, and such aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent Preferred Stock issuable to such Person shall be rounded, up or down, to the nearest whole share.
