each share of Target Common Stock shall become and be converted into the right
to receive its pro rata portion of the Merger Consideration.
(b) Each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Parent Common Stock
issued and outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue to evidence
ownership of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereto.

theretofore representing shares of Target Common Stock shall surrender the same

by each holder of Target Common Stock is set forth on Schedule 1.3.
1.4 Fractional Shares. Fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall not
be issued.
1.5 Unexchanged Certificates. Until surrendered, each outstanding

distributions, to evidence ownership of the whole number of shares of Parent
Common Stock into which it is to be converted, and no dividend or other
distribution payable to holders of Parent Common Stock as of any date subsequent
to the Effective Date shall be paid to the holders of unexchanged certificates.

distributions which would have been payable with respect to the shares of Parent
Common Stock represented thereby.
