   obtained by multiplying (i) the number of shares of IAA Common Stock subject to
   such option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) 0.763139 (the
   "Equity Award Exchange Ratio"), at an exercise price per share (rounded up to
   the nearest whole cent) equal to the exercise price per share of such option
   immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (y) the Equity Award
