(e) If any Old Certificates are not surrendered prior to the date on which such certificates or the proceeds of the sale of the Unclaimed Shares, as the case may be, would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any governmental unit or agency, the unclaimed items shall, to the extent permitted by abandoned property and any other applicable law, become the property of Zions Bancorp (and to the extent not in its possession shall be paid over to it), free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled to such claims.
