3.4. Automatic Exercise. If “Automatic Exercise” applies to an Option Transaction then (unless, by the Expiration Time on the Expiration Date Buyer notifies Seller that Automatic Exercise should not occur) each unexercised Option will be automatically exercised:

3.4(a) Cash Settlement: at the Expiration Time on the Expiration Date; and
3.4(b) Physical Settlement: if the Calculation Agent determines the Option to be In-the-Money at such time, as at the Expiration Time on the Expiration Date.
3.4(c)In-the-Money” means:
(i) For a Call: That the Reference Price at least equals the price at which a Related Exchange would automatically exercise a Physically-settled option on that Share with that Strike Price or, if there are no listed options on that Share or there is no Related Exchange, the Reference Price exceeds the Strike Price; and
(ii) For a Put: That the Reference Price is no greater than the price at which a Related Exchange would automatically exercise a Physically-settled option on that Share with that Strike Price or, if there are no listed options on that Share, or there is no Related Exchange, the Reference Price is less than the Strike Price); and
3.4(d)Reference Price” means the price per Share or per Basket determined as of the Expiration Time on the Expiration Date and, if no means of determining such price or amount are provided, that will be:
(i) For a Share Option Transaction: The Relevant Price of the Share
(ii) For a Share Basket Option Transaction:the sum of the values for each Share in the Basket determined as its Relevant Price multiplied by its Number of Shares (in either case, using the Valuation Time and Valuation Date as the Expiration Time and Expiration Date)
