amount otherwise payable or issuable to holders of Tech who exercise
dissenters' rights, if any, in connection with the Merger based upon
such shareholders' ownership of Tech Common Stock outstanding on the
Effective Date. The Exchange Ratio shall be subject to appropriate
adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or
