Agent’s Message is a message, transmitted by DTC to, and received by, our Depositary and forming a part of the book-entry confirmation which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC tendering the shares that are the subject of the book-entry confirmation, that the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the Letter of Transmittal and that we may enforce the agreement against that participant. For purposes of our offer, we will be deemed to have purchased shares which have been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn if and when we give oral or written notice to our Depositary of our acceptance for payment of shares pursuant to our offer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of our offer, payment for the shares will be made by depositing the aggregate purchase price with our Depositary. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL INTEREST ON THE PURCHASE PRICE FOR SHARES BE PAID, REGARDLESS OF ANY DELAY IN MAKING PAYMENT. If we do not accept tendered shares for payment for any reason pursuant to the terms and conditions of our offer, or if stock certificates are submitted evidencing more shares than are tendered, the stock certificates evidencing unpurchased shares will be returned, without expense to the tendering stockholder (or, in the case of shares tendered by book-entry transfer into our Depositary's account at DTC pursuant to the procedure set forth in "The Tender Offer--Procedures for Accepting Our Offer and Tendering Shares," the shares will be credited to an account maintained at DTC), as promptly as practicable following the expiration or termination of our offer. We reserve the right to assign, in our sole discretion, any or all of our rights, interests and obligations contained in the merger agreement to STC or to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of STC, but any assignment will not relieve us of our obligations under our offer and will in no way prejudice your rights to receive payment for shares validly tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to our offer. If you are a record owner of shares and tender directly to our Depositary, you will not be obligated to pay brokerage fees or commissions or, except as provided in Instruction 6 of the Letter of Transmittal, stock transfer taxes with respect to our purchase of shares pursuant to our offer. Nonetheless, if you fail to complete and sign the Substitute Form W-9, which is included in the Letter of Transmittal, you may be subject to a required back...
