• Surrender of Shares (a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall designate a bank or trust company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of fractional shares of Class A Common Stock to receive funds pursuant to Section 4.01(b). Such funds shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by the Company. (b) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Company shall cause to be mailed to each Person who following the Effective Time shall be entitled to receive funds pursuant to Section 4.01(b) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates evidencing shares that were converted into fractional shares in the Reverse Stock Split shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates pursuant to such letter of transmittal. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Offer Price for each share formerly evidenced by such Certificate, and such Certificate shall then be canceled. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Offer Price payable upon the surrender of any Certificate for the benefit of the holder of such Certificate. If the payment equal to the Offer Price is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate formerly evidencing shares is registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid all transfer and other taxes required by reason of the payment of the Offer Price to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such taxes either have been paid or are not applicable. If any holder of shares of Class A Common Stock that were converted into fractional shares in the Reverse Stock Split is unable to surrender such holder’s Certificates because such Certificates have been lost, mutilated or destroyed, such holder may deliver in lieu thereof an affidavit and indemnity bond in form and substance and with surety reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Each of the Company and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement in respect of fractional shares of Class A Common Stock such amount as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of such fractional shares of Class A Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. (c) At any time following the twelfth month after the Effective Time, the Company shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds which had been made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed to holders of fractional shares of Class A Common Stock (including, without limitation, all interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of all funds made available to it), and, thereafter, such holders shall be entitled to look to the Company (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to any Offer Price that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates held by them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a fractional share of Class A Common Stock for any Offer Price delivered in respect of such share to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar law. (d) From and after the Effective Time, holders of shares of Class A Common Stock that were converted into fractional shares in the Reverse Stock Split shall cease to have any rights with respect to such fractional shares except the right to receive an amount equal to the Offer Price multiplied by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by such holder prior to the Effective Time or as provided by applicable Law.

Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance occurs; and in the event that such rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities are not so issued or expire or cease to be convertible or exchangeable before they are exercised, converted, or exchanged (as the case may be), then the Consultant Shares shall again be adjusted to be the number of Consultant Shares that would then be in effect if such issuance had not occurred, but such subsequent adjustment shall not affect the number of Consultant Shares issued prior to the date such subsequent adjustment is made.
