Such shares of Parent Common Stock, Parent Series B Pre- ferred Stock or Parent Series C Preferred Stock issued in the Merger shall each be deemed to have been issued at the Effective Date. SECTION 8. Dividends; Transfer Taxes. Section 3.3 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to provide as follows: Section 3.3. Dividends; Transfer Taxes. No divi- dends or other distributions that are declared or made on Parent Common Stock will be paid to persons entitled to receive certificates representing Parent Common Stock pur- suant to this Merger Agreement until such persons sur- render their Certificates representing Company Common Stock, Company Stock Options or Company Restricted Stock Units, as the case may be. Upon such surrender, there shall be paid to the person in whose name the certificates representing such Parent Common Stock shall be issued any dividends or other distributions which shall have become payable with respect to such Parent Common Stock in re- spect of a record date after the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to a Company Holder for any shares of Parent Common Stock or dividends thereon or any shares of Parent Series B Pre- ferred Stock or Parent Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable escheat laws. SECTION 9. No Fractional Shares. Section 3.4 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its en- tirety to provide as follows: Section 3.4. No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing less than one full share of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for ex- change of Certificates representing Company Common Stock, Company Stock Options or Company Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 3.1(b), (g) or (h). In lieu of any such fractional share, each Company Holder who would oth- erwise have been entitled to a fraction of a share of Par- ent Common Stock upon surrender of Certificates for ex- change pursuant to Section 3.1(b), (g) or (h) shall be paid upon such surrender cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such holder's proportionate interest in the net proceeds from the sale or sales in the open market by the Exchange Agent, on behalf of all such holders, of the aggregate fractional Parent Common Stock issued pursu- ant to this Section 3.4. As soon as practicable following the Effective Date, the Exchange Agent shall determine the excess of (i) the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock delivered to the Exchange Agent by Parent over (ii) the aggregate number of full shares of Parent Common Stock to be distributed to holders of Company Common Stock, Com- pany Stock Options or Company Restricted Stock Units (such excess being herein called the "Excess Shares"), and the Exchange Agent, as agent for the former Company Holders, shall sell the Excess Shares at the prevailing prices on the NYSE. The sale of the Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent shall be executed on the NYSE through one or more member firms of the NYSE and shall be executed in round -4- lots to the extent practicable. Parent shall pay all com- missions, transfer taxes and other out-of-pocket transac- tion costs, including the expenses and compensation of the Exchange Agent, incurred in connection with such sale of Excess Shares. Until the net proceeds of such sale have been distributed to the former Company Holders, the Ex- change Agent will hold such proceeds in trust for such former stockholders (the "Fractional Securities Fund"). As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash to be paid to former Company Holders in lieu of any fractional interests, the Exchange Agent shall make available in accordance with this Merger Agreement such amounts to such former stockholders.
