Section 2.4            Exchange Agent; Procedure for Surrender of Shares .

(a)           Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company acceptable to the Company (the “ Exchange Agent ”) for the purpose of exchanging the Company Class A Common Stock certificates (the “ Certificates ”) and the shares of Company Class A Common Stock represented by book-entry (“ Book-Entry Shares ”) for the Merger Consideration. All fees and expenses of the Exchange Agent shall be paid by Parent. At or promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall authorize the Exchange Agent to issue certificates, or at Parent’s option, evidence of shares in book-entry form, representing the shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the aggregate Merger Consideration for the sole benefit of the former holders of shares of Company Class A Common Stock.

(b)           Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share and whose shares of Company Class A Common Stock each were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of such to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Company Class A Common Stock in exchange for the Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(a) , including any amount of cash payable in respect of fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.7 . Upon surrender of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable Merger Consideration for each share of Company Class A Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, to be delivered within ten (10) Business Days following the later to occur of (x) the Effective Time or (y) the Exchange Agent’s receipt of a duly executed letter of transmittal and such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share, and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be forthwith canceled. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. If registration of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of such registration that (A) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (B) the Person requesting such registration shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the registration of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax either has been paid or is not required to be paid. Registration of the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.4(b) , each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Section 2.4(b) , without interest thereon.

(c)           In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof (such affidavit to be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Exchange Agent), the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1(a) , including any amount payable in respect of fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.7 ; provided, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to deliver a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 2.5            Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights . At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Class A Common Stock on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to the shares of Company Class A Common Stock formerly represented thereby except as otherwise provided for herein or by Applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to Parent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(a)           Termination of Exchange Agent; No Liability . With respect to any portion of the Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed by the holders of Company Class A Common Shares one (1) year after the Effective Time, such holders shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law) as general creditors thereof with respect to the applicable Merger Consideration due to such holders upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.4(b) , without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Merger Consideration, or other amounts, properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law.

(b)           Withholding . Each of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under Applicable Law with respect to Taxes. Any amounts so deducted and withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

Section 2.6            Treatment of Company Equity Awards .

(a)           Company Options and Company SARs . At the Effective Time, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each Company Option and Company SAR that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that has an exercise price that is less than the product of (1) the Exchange Ratio and (2) the Parent Stock Price (such product, the “Merger Consideration FMV” (such Company Option or Company SAR, an “ In-the-Money Option ” or “ In-the-Money SAR ”, respectively), shall become fully vested (to the extent not already vested) and shall automatically be canceled and extinguished, no longer be outstanding and cease to represent the right to acquire shares of Company Class A Common Stock, and in consideration therefor, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, a “number” of shares of Parent Common Stock for each such Company Option and Company SAR, wherein the “number” is determined by dividing (i) the excess of (x) the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the Parent Stock Price minus (y) the per-share exercise price for the shares of Company Class A Common Stock that would have been issuable upon exercise of such In-the-Money Option or In-the-Money SAR as the case may be, by (ii) the Parent Stock Price and rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth of a share. Each Company Option and Company SAR that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is not an In-the-Money Option or In-the-Money SAR, whether vested or unvested, shall be canceled and extinguished, no longer be outstanding and cease to represent the right to acquire shares of Company Class A Common Stock and no consideration shall be paid therefore. Parent shall pay to each holder of In-the-Money Options or In-the-Money SARs cash in lieu of fractional shares to which such holder would be entitled pursuant to this Section 2.6(a) ; provided that the calculation of the amount of such fractional shares shall be determined on an aggregate basis taking into account all In-the-Money Options and In-the-Money SARs held by such holder.

(b)           Company Warrants . Not less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company will provide written notice to all holders of each outstanding unexercised warrant to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Company Class A Common Stock (each, a “ Company Warrant ”), which notice shall include such reasonable information as a holder of a Company Warrant may reasonably require regarding the treatment of a Company Warrant in connection with the Closing and which notice shall otherwise be provided in accordance with the terms of each applicable Company Warrant agreement. If, upon receiving notice of the Closing of the Merger, the holder of a Company Warrant exercises such Company Warrant in accordance with its terms, then (1) such exercise shall be deemed effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of the Merger and such exercise will be governed by the terms of the applicable Company Warrant agreement, and (2) at the Effective Time, such Company Warrant shall be cancelled and, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, as promptly as practicable (but no later than fifteen (15) calendar days) following the Effective Time, in consideration of the exercise and cancellation of such Company Warrant and in settlement therefor, in lieu of the Company Class A Common Stock immediately issuable upon exercise of the Company Warrant, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock that would have been issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrant had the Company Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto. If, upon receiving notice of the Closing of the Merger, the holder of a Company Warrant does not exercise such Company Warrant in accordance with its terms, then (A) such Company Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger and (B) at the Effective Time, such Company Warrant shall be cancelled and extinguished, no longer outstanding and cease to represent the right to acquire shares of Company Class A Common Stock or receive any Merger Consideration, without any payment of any consideration therefor. The Company agrees to take all necessary action to terminate each Company Warrant as of the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Warrant agreement. The provisions of this Section 2.6(b) shall not apply in respect of the warrants issued to, and outstanding in the name of, HCP-FVF, LLC, the treatment of which is governed by an agreement between HCP-FVF LLC and the Company.

(c)           Company Restricted Stock Units . At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest in full and the restrictions thereon shall lapse. As of the Effective Time, each such Company RSU shall be cancelled and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, as promptly as practicable (but no later than fifteen (15) calendar days) following the Effective Time, (1) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock represented by each such Company RSU and (2) any accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to any Company RSU, in each case without interest and less applicable withholding Taxes.

(d)           Notices . Parent and the Company shall cooperate to provide any notices to the holders of Company Options, Company SARs, Company Warrants and Company RSUs required in connection with the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions.

(e)           The Company shall, immediately prior to the Effective Time, take all actions necessary in order to, and terminate each Company Option Plan and cancel the Company Options and Company SARs (in accordance with cancellation agreements or otherwise) and to effectuate the actions contemplated by this Section 2.6 and to ensure that no holder of Company Options, Company SARs, Company Warrants or Company RSUs shall have any rights from and after the Effective Time with respect to any such Company Options, Company SARs, Company Warrants or Company RSUs, except as expressly provided in this Section 2.6 ; provided that such actions shall expressly be conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger and each of the other Transactions and shall be of no force or effect if this Agreement is terminated.

Section 2.7            Fractional Shares .

(b)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of a share of Company Class A Common Stock converted in the Merger who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all shares of Company Class A Common Stock held at the Effective Time by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, from the Exchange Agent, an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled by (ii) the closing price for a share of Parent Common Stock on NASDAQ GM on the first Business Day immediately following the Effective Time.

Section 2.8            Further Assurances . If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and interest in, to and under, and/or possession of, all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized in the name and on behalf of the Company or otherwise, to take all lawful action necessary or desirable to accomplish such purpose or acts.
