After the Effective Time, as provided in Section 262 of the Delaware Statute, no Dissenting Stockholder will be entitled to vote the shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Dissenting Stockholder's demand for appraisal for any purpose or be entitled to the payment of dividends or other distributions on such shares.
