Payment for Shares (a) From and after the Effective Time, a bank or trust company or stock transfer agent mutually acceptable to Parent and the Company (pursuant to an agreement satisfactory to Parent and the Company) shall act as paying agent (the "Paying Agent") in effecting the payment of the Merger Price in respect of certificates (the "Certificates") that, prior to the Effective Time, represented Shares entitled to payment of the Merger Price pursuant to Section 2.07. (b) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall mail to each record holder of Certificates (other than Certificates representing Excluded Shares) a form of letter of transmittal which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and instructions for use in surrendering such Certificates and receiving the aggregate Merger Price in respect thereof. Upon the surrender of each such Certificate, Parent shall make funds available to the Paying Agent to enable it to, and the Paying Agent shall, pay the holder of such Certificate the Merger Price multiplied by the number of Shares formerly represented by such Certificate in consideration therefor, and such Certificate shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, each such Certificate (other than Certificates representing Excluded Shares) shall represent solely the right to receive the aggregate Merger Price relating thereto. No interest or dividends shall be paid or accrued on the Merger Price. If the Merger Price (or any portion thereof) is to be delivered to any person other than the person in whose name the Certificate surrendered is registered, it shall be a condition to such right to receive such Merger Price that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the person surrendering such Certificates shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Price to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. (c) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder of such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Price deliverable in respect thereof, provided that the holder of such Certificate shall, as a condition precedent to the payment thereof, give the Surviving Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct or otherwise indemnify the Surviving Corporation in a manner satisfactory to it against any claim that may be made against it with respect to the Certificate claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. (d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of any Shares which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, they shall be surrendered and canceled in return for the payment of the aggregate Merger Price relating thereto, as provided in this Article III.
