Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than those shares cancelled and retired pursuant to Section 1.7(b) or any Dissenting Shares) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be automatically canceled and retired and shall cease to exist and shall be converted into the right to receive a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Parent (the “ Parent Common Stock ”) equal to the quotient (the “ Exchange Ratio ”) obtained by dividing (A) 22,987,293 shares of Parent Common Stock by (B) the Outstanding Common Stock Number (the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Section 1.7(c) , collectively, the “ Parent Shares ”).

which the shares of Company Common Stock were converted. Upon the surrender to the Exchange Agent of a certificate that formerly represented shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1 , together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to the holders of certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock certificates representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares shall have been converted in accordance with Section 1.7(c) , and the certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in the Company . At and after the Effective Time, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as a shareholder of the Company except for the right to surrender such shareholder’s certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock in exchange for receipt of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.7(c) .

(d) Transfers of Ownership . After the Effective Time, no transfer of shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be made on the stock transfer books of the Company.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates . In the event that any certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent or Parent, as applicable, shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Parent Shares deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.7(c) ; provided , however , that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of such shares, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

In lieu of any fractional shares, the fractional amount of Parent Common Stock to which any holder of Company Common Stock is entitled to receive under Section 1.7(c) shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock and all certificates held immediately prior to the Effective Time by such holder) would otherwise be entitled to and (y) the closing price per share of Parent Common Stock as reported on the NYSE Composite Transaction Tape (as reported in The Wall Street Journal, or, if not reported thereby, any other authoritative source) on the last trading day prior to but not including the date of the Effective Time.

(i) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares . No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock into which they were converted until surrender of shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with this Article II . Following surrender of any such shares of Company Common Stock, there shall be paid to the holder of the certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock.

2.2 Dissenting Shares . Pursuant to the delivery of the Company Shareholder Written Consent, all holders of shares of Company Common Stock shall waive any right to demand appraisal for such shares in accordance with the CGCL.

2.3 Withholding . Each of Parent, the Surviving Entity and Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable by it pursuant to this Agreement any withholding Taxes or other amounts required by any Applicable Law to be

7

deducted and withheld. To the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid prior to the Closing to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

2.4 Adjustments . The numbers of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.7(c) shall be equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock), extraordinary cash dividends, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof.

2.5 Acknowledgement by Recipient of Merger Consideration . Without limiting any other provision hereof, each holder of certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock converted into Parent Shares pursuant to Section 1.7(c) receiving such Parent Shares shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to be bound by its obligations set forth in this Agreement including, without limitation, the obligation to indemnify Parent Indemnified Parties pursuant to Article IX .

9.4 Claims .

(a) Notice of Claim . Promptly after the receipt by a Parent Indemnified Party or a Shareholder Indemnified Party, as appropriate (the “ Indemnified Party ”), of a notice of any claim, action, suit or proceeding by any third party (a “ Third Party Claim ”) or upon becoming aware of any other facts, circumstances or events, in either case that would reasonably give rise to a right to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX , such Indemnified Party shall give written notice of such claim to the indemnifying party hereunder (the “ Indemnifying Party ”), stating the nature and basis of the claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of the relevant documents evidencing the claim and the basis for indemnification sought. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of such indemnification, except if and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim or such other claim.

(b) Assumption of Defense of Third Party Claims . The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against any Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and control the defense of such Third Party Claim (x) if it elects to do so within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of the notice with respect thereto and (y) so long as the Indemnifying Party conducts such defense actively and diligently. The Indemnifying Party may not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim if the Third Party Claim of which it seeks to assume control (i)(x) seeks non-monetary relief or (y) if such Third Party Claim, if determined adversely to the Indemnified Party, could have a material adverse effect on such Indemnified Party; (ii) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations; (iii) involves a claim which the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend; or (iv) involves a claim that is reasonably expected to result in Liability to the Indemnified Party in excess of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligation hereunder in light of the limitations set forth in this Article IX ; provided , however , that, in the event that the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Action pursuant to the provisions of this sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, and may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and the Indemnified Party shall not compromise or settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX , the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay or otherwise indemnify the Indemnified Party against attorneys’ fees or other expenses incurred on behalf of the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such action following the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense. So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance herewith and notified the Indemnified Party in writing thereof, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party for all periods prior to such time as the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party that it has assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnified Party shall not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not

75

to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim (other than a judgment or settlement that is solely for money damages and is accompanied by a release of all indemnifiable claims against the Indemnified Party) without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense, such Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of an action contemplated by this Section 9.4(b) within the manner contemplated above, or, if such action is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party fails to conduct the defense actively and diligently, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against the action in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate; provided , however , that the Indemnified Party shall consult with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; (B) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the reasonable costs of defending against the action (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the extent such costs are Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification therefor hereunder; and (C) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any costs the Indemnified Party may incur resulting from the action to the extent such costs are Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification therefor hereunder; provided , however , that, in the event that it is determined that the Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification for any costs that are Losses hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly refund to the Indemnifying Party that portion of the amounts paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party in respect of reimbursement of such costs. In the event that both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants in an action and/or the representation of both Persons by the same counsel would be appropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, they shall both be represented by the same counsel (on whom they shall agree), unless such counsel, the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party shall determine that such counsel has a conflict of interest in representing both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in the same action or proceeding and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party do not waive such conflict to the satisfaction of such counsel, in which case the reasonable expense of separate counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party.

(c) Payment . On each occasion that any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under this Article IX , the Indemnifying Party shall, at each such time, promptly pay the amount of such indemnification or reimbursement.

9.6 Waiver of Reliance on Excluded Information . (a) Other than for purposes of Section 3.19 or Section 4.5 , the Company and the Shareholders, on one side, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other, each disclaim and waive for all purposes hereunder reliance on, any claim under, or failure to satisfy a condition set forth in Section 7.3 related to, any fact,

76

Without limiting the foregoing, none of Parent, the Company or the Shareholders may (x) rely upon any Excluded Information to form the basis of any failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 7.3 (including Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) ), (y) rely upon any Excluded Information to form the basis of any right of termination pursuant to Section 8.1 (including Section 8.1(e) ), or (z) make a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX related to any Excluded Information.
