(c)     Parent shall take all corporate action necessary (including any action required under the applicable Parent Stock Plan and/or Parent Benefit Plan) to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Diffusion Rollover Options assumed in accordance with this Section 2.3 . As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Diffusion Rollover Options and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as Parent is subject to the reporting requirements pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and such Diffusion Rollover Options remain outstanding.
