Shares repurchased at the Repurchase Closing shall be reduced by the number of
Repurchased Shares tendered into the Offer pursuant to this Section 2.4(c), and
any Repurchased Shares not accepted for payment in the Offer shall be purchased
by the Company, at the Repurchase Price, as promptly as practicable following
the payment for Shares in the Offer, but in any event not later than the date on
