Exchange of Shares (a) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates a form letter of transmittal (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 ACE*COMM Common Stock, the cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the shares of i3 Common Stock represented by such Certificate or Certificates shall have been converted and any dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(b). Upon surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (x) a certificate representing that number of whole shares of ACE*COMM Common Stock to which such holder of i3 Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Article I hereof (with such legends as may be required), (y) a check representing the amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Certificate surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and (z) any dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(b), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash in lieu of fractional shares and unpaid dividends and distributions, if any, payable to holders of Certificates.
(b) No dividends or other distributions declared after the Effective Time with respect to ACE*COMM Common Stock and payable to the holders of record thereof 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 ACE*COMM Common Stock represented by such Certificate. No holder of an unsurrendered Certificate shall be entitled, until the surrender of such Certificate, to vote the shares of ACE*COMM Common Stock into which such i3 Common Stock shall have been converted.
(c) If any certificate representing shares of ACE*COMM Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate 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 ACE*COMM Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
(d) After the close of business on the day immediately prior to the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of i3 of the shares of i3 Common Stock which 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 canceled and exchanged for certificates representing shares of ACE*COMM Common Stock as provided in this Article II.
(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of i3 for six months after the Effective Time may be returned to ACE*COMM. Any stockholders of i3 who have not complied with this Article II prior to such return shall thereafter look only to ACE*COMM for payment of their shares of ACE*COMM Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares and unpaid dividends and distributions on ACE*COMM Common Stock deliverable in respect of each share of i3 Common Stock such stockholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of ACE*COMM, i3, Merger Sub, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of i3 Common Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.
(f) 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 required by ACE*COMM, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as ACE*COMM may reasonably direct 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 ACE*COMM Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares deliverable in respect thereof and any dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(b).
Adjustment of Merger Consideration If, subsequent to the date of this Agreement but prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class as a result of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, split, combination, exchange, recapitalization or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted.
Adjustment to Merger Consideration The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Common Stock), cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.
Merger Consideration Each share of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (a “Share” or, collectively, the “Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than (i) Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent and Shares owned by the Company or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, and in each case not held on behalf of third parties (but not including Shares held by the Company in any “rabbi trust” or similar arrangement in respect of any compensation plan or arrangement) and (ii) Shares that are owned by stockholders (“Dissenting Stockholders”) who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (each Share referred to in clause (i) or clause (ii) being an “Excluded Share” and collectively, “Excluded Shares”) shall be converted into the right to receive $27.25 per Share in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares) and each non-certificated Share represented by book-entry (a “Book Entry Share”) (other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest, and each Certificate formerly representing Shares or Book Entry Shares owned by Dissenting Stockholders shall thereafter only represent the right to receive the payment to which reference is made in Section 4.2(f).
Exchange of Stock (a) The Werke Shareholders agree to transfer to WICK, and WICK agrees to purchase from the Werke Shareholders, all of the Werke Shareholders' right, title and interest in the WERKE Stock, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of WERKE, free and clear of all mortgages, liens, pledges, security interests, restrictions, encumbrances, or adverse claims of any nature.
(b) At the Closing (as defined in Section 2 below), upon surrender by the Werke Shareholders of the certificates evidencing the WERKE Stock, duly endorsed for transfer to WICK or accompanied by stock powers executed in blank by the Werke Shareholders, WICK will cause 11,000,000 shares (subject to adjustment for fractionalized shares as set forth below) of the common voting stock, par value $.001 of WICK (the "WICK Stock") to be issued to the Werke Shareholders (or their designees), in full satisfaction of any right or interest which each Shareholder held in the WERKE Stock. The WICK Stock will be issued to the Werke Shareholders on a pro rata basis, in the same proportion as the percentage of their ownership interest in WERKE, as set forth on EXHIBIT A (subject to adjustment as set forth below), at the Closing. As a result of the exchange of the WERKE Stock for the WICK Stock, WERKE will become a wholly owned subsidiary of WICK.
(c) EXHIBIT A, may be amended by WERKE at or prior to the Closing in order to give effect to the conversion by STPF of its interest in STWP into equity in WERKE and to reflect other changes in the capital structure of WERKE which may be caused by investment into WERKE by third parties prior to the Closing. Any additional shareholders which are added to EXHIBIT A, at or prior to Closing will agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, either directly or by signing the Agreement to Appoint Shareholders Representative attached hereto as EXHIBIT B, however, their failure to do so prior to Closing will not effect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement as between the present parties. In no event shall WICK be required to issue any additional securities, other than as set forth herein, as a result of any changes in the capital structure of WERKE at or prior to the Closing.
Payment of Merger Consideration (a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity (or its successor in interest) shall deliver to each holder of SPE LLC Interests whose SPE LLC Interests have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.05(b) hereof, the Merger Consideration payable to such holder in the amounts and form provided in Section 1.05(b) hereof. The issuance of the OP Units and admission of the recipients thereof as limited partners of the Operating Partnership pursuant to Section 1.05(b) shall be evidenced by an amendment to Exhibit A of the Operating Partnership Agreement, and the Operating Partnership shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, an executed copy of such amendment to each Pre-Formation Participant receiving OP Units hereunder. Each certificate representing REIT Shares issuable as Merger Consideration shall bear the following legend: THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE TRANSFEROR DELIVERS TO THE CORPORATION AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE PROPOSED SALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS. THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON BENEFICIAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE CORPORATION’S MAINTENANCE OF ITS STATUS AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”). SUBJECT TO CERTAIN FURTHER RESTRICTIONS AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE CORPORATION’S CHARTER, (I) NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF THE CORPORATION’S COMMON STOCK IN EXCESS OF % (IN VALUE OR NUMBER OF SHARES) OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF THE CORPORATION UNLESS SUCH PERSON IS AN EXCEPTED HOLDER (IN WHICH CASE THE EXCEPTED HOLDER LIMIT SHALL BE APPLICABLE); (II) NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION IN EXCESS OF % OF THE VALUE OF THE TOTAL OUTSTANDING SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION, UNLESS SUCH PERSON IS AN EXCEPTED HOLDER (IN WHICH CASE THE EXCEPTED HOLDER LIMIT SHALL BE APPLICABLE); (III) NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN CAPITAL STOCK THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE CORPORATION BEING “CLOSELY HELD” UNDER SECTION 856(h) OF THE CODE OR OTHERWISE CAUSE THE CORPORATION TO FAIL TO QUALIFY AS A REIT; AND (IV) NO PERSON MAY TRANSFER SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK IF SUCH TRANSFER WOULD RESULT IN THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION BEING OWNED BY FEWER THAN 100 PERSONS. ANY PERSON WHO BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWNS OR ATTEMPTS TO BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK WHICH CAUSES OR WILL CAUSE A PERSON TO BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK IN EXCESS OR IN VIOLATION OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MUST IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY THE CORPORATION. IF ANY OF THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OR OWNERSHIP SET FORTH IN (I) THROUGH (III) ABOVE ARE VIOLATED, THE SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFERRED TO A TRUSTEE OF A TRUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF ONE OR MORE CHARITABLE BENEFICIARIES. IN ADDITION, THE CORPORATION MAY TAKE OTHER ACTIONS, INCLUDING REDEEMING SHARES UPON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SPECIFIED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION IF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DETERMINES THAT OWNERSHIP OR A TRANSFER OR OTHER EVENT MAY VIOLATE THE RESTRICTIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE. FURTHERMORE, UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF CERTAIN EVENTS, ATTEMPTED TRANSFERS IN VIOLATION OF THE RESTRICTIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE MAY BE VOID AB INITIO. ALL CAPITALIZED TERMS IN THIS LEGEND HAVE THE MEANINGS DEFINED IN THE CHARTER OF THE CORPORATION, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, A COPY OF WHICH, INCLUDING THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP, WILL BE FURNISHED TO EACH HOLDER OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION ON REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE.

(b) The Surviving Entity (or its successor in interest) shall not be liable to any holder of SPE LLC Interests for any portion of the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.
(c) So long as some portion of the Merger Consideration is in the form of OP Units, the parties hereto intend and agree that, for United States federal income tax purposes, the Merger shall constitute an “assets-over” partnership merger within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(3)(i), and, as a result, that (i) any payment of cash or REIT Shares for SPE LLC Interests of such holder shall be treated as a sale of such SPE LLC Interests by the holder and a purchase of such SPE LLC Interests by the Operating Partnership for the cash and/or REIT Shares so paid under the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(4), and (ii) each such holder of SPE LLC Interests who accepts cash and/or REIT Shares shall explicitly agree and consent (the “Sale Consent”) to such treatment in their Consent Form as a condition to electing such consideration. To the extent the Operating Partnership acquires any SPE LLC Interests as described above, or previously acquired such interests, for United States federal income tax purposes the receipt by the Operating Partnership of the portion of property attributable to such SPE LLC Interests shall be treated as a distribution by the SPE LLC in redemption of such SPE LLC Interests. Notwithstanding Section 1.05(b) and any holder’s election as to the form of their Merger Consideration, if any holder (other than a non-accredited investor) fails to execute a Sale Consent prior to the Closing, such holder’s Merger Consideration shall consist solely of OP Units. Any cash paid as the Merger Consideration to a non-accredited investor for a SPE LLC Interests shall be paid only after the receipt of a Sale Consent from such holder.
