Prior to the Initial Company Merger Effective Time, Parent and Pacers OpCo shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Eligible Shares and holders of Eligible Heat OpCo Units, for distribution in accordance with this Article III through the Exchange Agent, the Merger Consideration in respect of Eligible Shares and Eligible Heat OpCo Units pursuant to Section 3.1 and Section 3.3, respectively. In addition, on the Closing Date, Parent and Pacers OpCo shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, from time to time as needed, cash sufficient to pay any Post-Effective Time Distributions and to make payments in lieu of fractional Pacers OpCo Units pursuant to Section 3.5(h). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be issued in exchange for Eligible Shares or Eligible Heat OpCo Units, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement out of the Exchange Fund. Except as contemplated by this Section 3.5(a), Section 3.5(g) and Section 3.5(h), the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. Any cash, shares of Parent Common Stock and Pacers OpCo Units deposited with the Exchange Agent (including as payment for fractional shares or units in accordance with Section 3.5(h) and any Post-Effective Time Distributions) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” Parent or the Surviving Company shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of Eligible Shares and Eligible Heat OpCo Units pursuant to this Agreement. The cash portion of the Exchange Fund may be invested by the Exchange Agent as reasonably directed by Xxxxxx. To the extent, for any reason, the amount in the Exchange Fund is below that required to make prompt payment of the aggregate cash payments contemplated by this Article III, Parent or Pacers OpCo shall promptly replace, restore or supplement (or cause to be replaced, restored or supplemented) the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Exchange Agent to make the payment of the aggregate cash payments contemplated by this Article III. Any interest or other income resulting from investment of the cash portion of the Exchange Fund shall become part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable hereunder shall, at the discretion of Parent, be promptly returned to Parent or the Surviving Company.
