Statutory Rights of Appraisal (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all Company Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by Company Stockholders who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have properly and validly perfected their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such Company Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, “Dissenting Company Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.7(a). Such Company Stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Company Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Company Shares held by Company Stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Company Shares under such Section 262 of the DGCL shall no longer be considered to be Dissenting Company Shares and shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such Company Shares in the manner provided in Section 3.8.
(ii) The Company shall give Parent (A) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the Company in respect of Dissenting Company Shares and (B) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Delaware Law in respect of Dissenting Company Shares. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, or settle or offer to settle any such demands for payment, in respect of Dissenting Company Shares.
Appraisal Rights Notwithstanding Section 2.4, if appraisal rights are available to the holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL as a result of the Merger, shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL shall not be converted into a right to receive from Parent the Per Share Merger Consideration for each share held as provided in Section 2.4(a), unless such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such right to appraisal. If after the Effective Time such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses such right to appraisal, such holder's shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive from Parent the Per Share Merger Consideration. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands. Any amounts paid to a holder of Company Common Stock pursuant to a right of appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL will be paid by the Company out of the Company's assets and in no event shall Parent or any affiliate thereof reimburse the Company for such payments."

Within ten days after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall provide each of the holders of Shares with the notice contemplated by Section 262 of the DGCL.
