No amendments, supplements, modifications, alterations or other changes shall be made to any Record Stockholder List or the Dissenters' List without the prior written consent of the Representative, except pursuant to a Stockholder List Update with respect to which the Representative was consulted with respect thereto.
If a holder of Old Shares does not provide to you a properly completely and duly executed Letter of Transmittal for all of the Old Shares held by such holder as set forth in the Global Record Stockholder List, you will follow your procedures set forth in Section 5 for deficient items.
In your capacity as Exchange Agent, you may receive Letters of Transmittal in respect of Old Shares surrendered in exchange for a portion of the Merger Consideration. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you are authorized to accept such Old Shares and to exchange such Old Shares for the portion of the Merger Consideration applicable thereto in accordance with the terms hereof, the Letter of Transmittal and the Merger Agreement, and to act in accordance with the following instructions:

The Exchange Agent shall make any such payment and distribution so requested as promptly as practicable (subject to Section 4(b) of this Agreement).
4. Procedures for Discrepancies.
(a) You will follow your regular procedures to attempt to reconcile any discrepancies between the number of Old Shares that any Letter of Transmittal may indicate are owned by a surrendering stockholder and the number that any Record Stockholder List indicates such stockholder owned of record as of the Effective Time. In any instance where you cannot reconcile such discrepancies by following such procedures, you will consult with the designated Persons from Company for instructions as to the number of Old Shares, if any, you are authorized not to accept for exchange.
(b) If an exchange of Old Shares is required to be made by you to a Person other than the registered holder of such Old Shares as set forth in the Global Record Stockholder List, you will not issue any Holdco Shares until the Person requesting such exchange has paid any transfer or other taxes or governmental charges required by reason of the issuance of Holdco Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of Old Shares surrendered, or has established to your satisfaction that any such tax or charge either has been paid or is not payable.
5. Procedure for Deficient Items. You will examine the Letter of Transmittal and any other documents received by you as Exchange Agent to ascertain whether they have been properly completed and duly executed in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Letter of Transmittal. In the event you determine that any Letter of Transmittal does not appear to you to have been properly completed or duly executed, or any other deficiency in connection with the delivery of a Letter of Transmittal appears to you to exist, you will take, where possible, any reasonably necessary or advisable actions to attempt to cause such issue to be corrected, including, informing the presenter of the need for fulfillment of all requirements. You are not authorized to waive any deficiency in connection with the completion, execution or delivery of a Letter of Transmittal, unless designated Persons from the Company provide you with written authorization to waive the deficiency. If any such deficiency is neither corrected nor waived, you will return to the delivering stockholder (at your option by either first class mail under a blanket surety bond or insurance protecting you and the Company from losses or liabilities arising out of the non-receipt or non-delivery of the Letter of Transmittal or by registered mail insured separately for the value of the Old Shares covered by the Letter of Transmittal) at such stockholder's address as set forth in the Letter of Transmittal the original Letter of Transmittal and any other documents received with respect to such Old Shares.

11. No Issuance of Fractional Shares. No fractional Holdco Shares will be distributed in exchange for Old Shares.

12. Dividends and Distributions on Unexchanged Old Shares. No dividends or other distributions that are declared after the Effective Time on Holdco Shares and payable to the holders of record thereof after the Effective Time will be paid to Persons entitled by reason of the Mergers to receive Holdco Shares until such Persons properly complete and duly execute and deliver to the Exchange Agent a Letter of Transmittal with respect to their Old Shares. Upon your receipt of a properly completed and duly executed and delivered Letter of Transmittal, you will pay to the Person in whose name Holdco Shares are issued any dividends or other distributions having a record date after the Effective Time. In no event shall any interest on such dividends or other distributions be payable by you.

You will also prepare and file copies of such Forms 1099-B by magnetic tape with the Internal Revenue Service, on or before February 28th of the year following the year of the payment and in accordance with United States Treasury Regulations.
(b) If you have not received notice from the surrendering holder of that holder's certified Taxpayer Identification Number, you shall deduct and withhold backup withholding tax from any cash payment made pursuant to Internal Revenue Code regulations.
(c) Should any issue arise regarding federal income tax reporting or withholding, you will take such action as the Company instructs you in writing.
