Payment of the Merger Consideration shall be made as promptly as practicable after the date of Proper Delivery. If delivery of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate or Book-Entry Share surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until  surrendered  as  contemplated  by  this Section 2.2(b), each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a).

If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for transfer or transfer is sought for Book-Entry Shares, such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be canceled and exchanged for the consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth in, this ARTICLE 2, subject to applicable Law in the case of Dissenting Shares. Such stock transfer books shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation as soon as reasonably possible after the Effective Time.

    (c) In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate pursuant to this ARTICLE 2.

The Company shall serve prompt notice to Parent of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such notices or demands and any other negotiations, petitions and proceedings with respect to such demands.
