(c) The Exchange Agent, upon receiving the items specified in subsection (b) hereof, shall promptly mail to each holder of one or more certificates formerly representing HSI Common Stock a notice notifying such holder to surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates to the Exchange Agent for exchange. Such notice shall be mailed to holders by regular mail at their addresses on the records of HSI.
(d) Upon receipt from a former shareholder of HSI of certificates representing shares of HSI’s Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall forward to such former shareholder of HSI (i) a New Certificate representing his, her or its shares of Public Company Common Stock, and (ii) dividends, if any, declared thereon subsequent to the Effective Date (without interest).
(e) If any New Certificate is to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate formerly representing HSI’s Common Stock (an “Old Certificate”) and surrendered for exchange was issued, the Old Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of the New Certificate in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Old Certificate surrendered, or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
(f) In the event that any Old Certificates have not been surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Agreement on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date, NCC may at any time thereafter, with or without notice to the holders of record of such Old Certificates, sell for the accounts of any or all of such holders any or all of the shares of HSI’s Common Stock which such holders are entitled to receive under this Section (the “Unclaimed Shares”). Any such sale may be made by public or private sale or in such manner and at such times as NCC shall determine. NCC shall not be obligated to make any sale of Unclaimed Shares if it shall determine not to do so, even if notice of sale of the Unclaimed Shares has been given.
