“1.2 Effect of Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, and without any action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub, Holdings, GTY or any XX Xxxxxx:
(a) Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each Share of Capital Stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into and become one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Company.
(b) CB Shares held by Accredited CB Holders. Each CB Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is held by an Accredited XX Xxxxxx shall be automatically converted into the right to receive (A) an amount of cash equal to the Per Indemnity Share Closing Cash Consideration, calculated as set forth in Schedule 1.2(b), payable to the holder thereof in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.6, plus (B) the amount of Election Shares equal to the Per Indemnity Share Closing Stock Consideration; provided, that the total number of Election Shares to be received by any Accredited XX Xxxxxx in respect of such Accredited XX Xxxxxx’x CB Common Shares shall be aggregated and rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares and any Accredited XX Xxxxxx who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of an Election Share shall receive, in lieu of such fractional Election Share, cash in an amount equal to ten dollars ($10.00) per Election Share plus (C) the amounts, if any, that become payable in respect of such CB Share in the future from the Purchase Price Escrow Account, plus (D) the amounts, if any, that become payable in respect of such CB Share in the future from the Indemnity Escrow Account, plus (E) the amounts, if any, that become payable in respect of such CB Share in the future from the remaining balance of the Expense Fund, if any, pursuant to Section 10.18(e), plus (F) the Earnout Consideration in accordance with Exhibit B (collectively, the “Per Indemnity Share Merger Consideration”), and the holders thereof shall cease to have any further rights as holders of CB Shares. The payment of the Earnout Consideration shall be made in accordance with Exhibit B.
| -2- |
(c) CB Shares held by Non-Accredited CB Holders. Each CB Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is held by any XX Xxxxxx other than an Accredited XX Xxxxxx shall be automatically converted into the right to receive (A) an amount equal to the Per Share Closing Cash Consideration, calculated as set forth in Schedule 1.2(b), payable to the holder thereof in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.6, plus (B) the amounts, if any, that become payable in respect of such CB Share in the future from the Purchase Price Escrow Account, plus (C) the amounts, if any, that become payable in respect of such CB Share in the future from the remaining balance of the Expense Fund, if any, pursuant to Section 10.18(e), plus (D) the Earnout Consideration in accordance with Exhibit B (collectively, the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), and the holders thereof shall cease to have any further rights as holders of CB Shares. The payment of the Earnout Consideration shall be made in accordance with Exhibit B.
(d) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 1 any CB Shares held by Persons who object to the Merger and comply with the provisions of the DGCL concerning the rights of holders of CB Shares to dissent from the Merger and require appraisal of their CB Shares (“Dissenting Shares” and such Persons, “Dissenting Stockholders”) shall not be converted into a right to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration and the holders thereof shall be entitled to such rights as are granted by the DGCL. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled to payment for such shares pursuant to the DGCL shall receive payment therefor from the Surviving Company in accordance with the DGCL; provided, however, that (i) if any such holder of Dissenting Shares shall have failed to establish such holder’s entitlement to appraisal rights as provided in the DGCL, or (ii) if any such holder of Dissenting Shares shall have effectively withdrawn such holder’s demand for appraisal of such shares or lost such holder’s right to appraisal and payment for such holder’s shares under the DGCL, such holder shall forfeit the right to appraisal of such shares and each such share shall not constitute a Dissenting Share and shall be treated as if it had been a CB Share immediately prior to the Effective Time and converted, as of the Effective Time, into a right to receive from the Surviving Company the portion of the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof as determined in accordance with this Article 1, without any interest thereon (and such holder shall be treated as a XX Xxxxxx). The Company shall provide GTY reasonably prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of CB Shares, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand, and GTY shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Without the prior written consent of GTY, the Company shall not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment. From and after the Effective Time, no stockholder of the Company who has properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights pursuant to the DGCL shall be entitled to vote his or her CB Shares for any purpose or receive payment of dividends or other distributions with respect to his or her CB Shares (except dividends and distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the Effective Time).

Subject to a Vested Qualifying Option Holder providing the Company with a duly completed and validly executed Option Cancellation Agreement, each Vested Qualifying Option held by such Vested Qualifying Option Holder that is unexpired and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive (A) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (a) that number of CB Common Shares for which such Vested Qualifying Option is exercisable, multiplied by (b) the Per Option Closing Cash Consideration, calculated as set forth in Schedule 1.2(b), which Per Option Closing Cash Consideration will then be reduced by any applicable Taxes; plus (B) the amounts, if any, that become payable in respect of such Vested Qualifying Option in the future from the Purchase Price Escrow Account, plus (C) the amounts, if any, that become payable in respect of such Vested Qualifying Option in the future from the remaining balance of the Expense Fund, if any, pursuant to Section 10.18(e), plus (D) the Earnout Consideration in accordance with Exhibit B (the “Per Option Merger Consideration”); provided that each Key Optionholder shall receive a portion of the Per Option Closing Cash Consideration payable to such Key Optionholder in an amount equal to the Per Election Share Amount in newly issued Election Shares, each with a nominal value of Ten Dollars ($10.00) per share, in lieu of cash provided, that the total number of Election Shares to be received by any Key Optionholder in respect of such Key Optionholder’s Vested Qualifying Options shall be aggregated and rounded down to the nearest whole number of Election Shares and any Key Optionholder who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of an Election Share shall receive, in lieu of such fractional Election Share, cash in an amount equal to ten dollars ($10.00) per Election Share.”

| -4- |
(i) the Per Indemnity Share Closing Cash Consideration and the Per Share Closing Cash Consideration payable to each CB Shareholder, which shall not include any amounts otherwise payable in respect of any Dissenting Shares, and the Per Option Closing Cash Consideration payable to each Vested Qualifying Option Holder; provided that GTY or Holdings will promptly thereafter pay to the Exchange Agent any additional Per Indemnity Share Closing Cash Consideration or Per Share Closing Cash Consideration, as applicable, due to any Dissenting Shares becoming CB Shares in accordance with Section 1.2(b) or Section 1.2(c), as applicable, the Closing Earnout Payment due to each Closing Earnout Recipient; and
(ii) the Election Shares to be issued, in book-entry form, in the name of each Accredited XX Xxxxxx and each Key Optionholder; subject, in the case of any Key Optionholder who is not an Accredited XX Xxxxxx, to receipt of an Option Cancellation Agreement and Election Form, duly completed and validly executed by such Key Optionholder.
The aggregate Per Indemnity Share Merger Consideration, the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration, the aggregate Per Option Merger Consideration, and the Election Shares, are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Merger Consideration.” The funds provided to the Exchange Agent are referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver (i) the Per Indemnity Share Closing Cash Consideration, the Per Share Closing Cash Consideration and (ii) the Per Option Closing Cash Consideration contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 1.2(b) and Section 1.4, respectively, out of the Exchange Fund. Except as contemplated by Section 1.6(h) hereof, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) for cancellation, together with such Letter of Transmittal (solely if required by the Exchange Agent), duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, including the Election Form, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the portion of the Merger Consideration which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.2(b) and Section 1.6(a) (which, with respect to any Election Shares, shall be in book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of CB Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.2(b) may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such CB Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.6, each Certificate shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.2(b) and Section 1.6(a).
(f) No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to the Election Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the Election Shares represented thereby, until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to the effect of escheat, tax or other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the Election Shares issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) promptly, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such Election Shares, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such Election Shares.

| -6- |
(h) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to any holders of CB Shares for one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Company, upon demand, and any CB Holders who have not theretofore complied with this Section 1.6 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company for the Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by CB Holders as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any government entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
(i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Exchange Agent, GTY, Holdings, the Surviving Company or any other Person shall be liable to any XX Xxxxxx or to any other Person for any Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.
(j) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, and, if reasonably required by Holdings, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Holdings may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the consideration into which the CB Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall have been converted.”

Definitions: As used in this Exhibit C, the following terms have the meanings specified below. All other capitalized terms have the meanings set forth in this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified, Section references in this Exhibit C are references to Sections in this Exhibit C.
1. Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Holdings shall use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to file a registration statement on Form S-3 for a secondary offering (including any successor registration statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities, a “Resale Shelf”) of (x) the Holdings Common Stock issued and issuable to the CB Holders under this Agreement and (y) any other equity security of Holdings issued or issuable with respect to the securities referred to in clause (x) by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act; provided that if Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, Holdings shall register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, (ii) to cause the Resale Shelf to be declared effective under the Securities Act promptly thereafter, but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter (provided that in the event that a lapse in appropriations results in an SEC shutdown during such sixty (60) day period, the sixty (60) day period shall be extended for the number of days during which the shutdown extends), and (iii) to maintain the effectiveness of such Resale Shelf with respect to the Registrable Securities until the earliest of (A) the date that is three (3) years following the Closing Date and (B) the date all of the relevant XX Xxxxxx’x Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Shelf can be sold publicly without volume or manner of sale restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Holdings shall pay all fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with its obligation to prepare, file and maintain the Resale Shelf (including the fees of its counsel and accountants).
2. Holdings may suspend the use of a prospectus included in the Resale Shelf by furnishing to the CB Holders a written notice (“Suspension Notice”) stating that in the good faith judgment of Holdings, it would be either (i) prohibited by Holdings’ xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy (as if the CB Holders were covered by such policy) or (ii) materially detrimental to Holdings and its stockholders for such prospectus to be used at such time. A holder of Registrable Securities shall not effect any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from Holdings and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). The holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from Holdings to the holders. Holdings shall act in good faith to permit any suspension period contemplated by this paragraph to be concluded as promptly as reasonably practicable.
3. The CB Holders agree that, except as required by applicable law, the CB Holders shall treat as confidential the receipt of any Suspension Notice (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material nonpublic information of Holdings) hereunder and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of Holdings until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes public, other than as a result of disclosure by a holder of Registrable Securities in breach of the terms of this Agreement.
