Delivery of Merger Consideration (a) As soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen business days, after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of one or more Certificates a letter of transmittal in customary form as reasonably agreed by the parties (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing the shares of Fifth Third Common Stock and any cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the shares of First National Bankshares Common Stock represented by such Certificate or Certificates shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement. Upon proper surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate or Certificates for exchange and cancellation, together with such properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, the holder of such Certificate or Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (i) a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Fifth Third Common Stock to which such holder of First National Bankshares Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Article I and (ii) a check representing the sum of the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Certificate or Certificates surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and the Certificate or Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash in lieu of fractional shares or on any unpaid dividends and distributions payable to holders of Certificates.
(b) No dividends or other distributions declared after the Effective Time with respect to Fifth Third Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Article II. After the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with this Article II, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of Fifth Third Common Stock represented by such Certificate.
(c) If any certificate representing shares of Fifth Third Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate or Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor is or are registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate or Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate representing shares of Fifth Third Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate or Certificates surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of First National Bankshares of the shares of First National Bankshares Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for certificates representing shares of Fifth Third Common Stock and Cash Consideration as provided in this Article II.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Fifth Third Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to Fifth Third Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Fifth Third. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Fifth Third shall pay to each former shareholder of First National Bankshares who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) the average of the closing-sale prices of Fifth Third Common Stock on the securities market or stock exchange in which the Fifth Third Common Stock principally trades, as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day immediately preceding the date of the Effective Time by (ii) the fraction of a share (rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Fifth Third Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.4.
(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of First National Bankshares as of the first anniversary of the Effective Time shall be paid to Fifth Third. Any former shareholders of First National Bankshares who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Fifth Third for payment of the shares of Fifth Third Common Stock and cash in lieu of any fractional shares and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the Fifth Third Common Stock deliverable in respect of each share of First National Bankshares Common Stock such shareholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of First National Bankshares, Fifth Third, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of First National Bankshares Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.
(g) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Fifth Third, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Fifth Third may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the shares of Fifth Third Common Stock and any cash in lieu of fractional shares deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

To the extent the amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of Company Virginia Sub Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent or Parent, as the case may be.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Parent so elects prior to the Exchange Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall aggregate all fractional interests in Parent Ordinary Shares and sell all such shares, in one or more transactions executed on the NYSE through one or more brokers nominated by Parent with the proceeds of such sale being remitted to the Exchange Agent as soon as practicable thereafter. The Exchange Agent shall deliver the cash proceeds of any such sales to former holders of shares of Company Virginia Sub Common Stock in lieu of their fractional interest in Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADSs. The proceeds to any holder of shares of Company Virginia Common Stock sold by the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 3.3(i) shall be the proceeds before any costs associated with any such sale, and any costs incurred in connection with any such sale (including any commissions, transfer taxes and other transaction costs) shall be borne by Parent.
