surrender of such AMI Shares in exchange for the Merger

No Fractional Shares of ATC Common Stock. No certificates or
scrip or shares of ATC Common Stock representing fractional shares
of ATC Common Stock or book-entry credit of the same shall be
issued upon the surrender for exchange of the AMI Shares.
2.5
Restricted Shares. AMI acknowledges that the ATC Shares
issued pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement will have such hold periods as are required under
Applicable Securities Legislation and as a result may not be sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed of, except pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, or pursuant to
an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the 1933 Act and in each case only in
accordance with all Applicable Securities Legislation.
2.6
Lost Certificates. If any certificate for AMI Shares shall
have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an
affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to
be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by ATC, the posting
by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as ATC may
direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it
with respect to such certificate, ATC will deliver in exchange for
such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the applicable Merger
Consideration with respect to the shares of AMI Common Stock
formerly represented thereby.
2.7
Further Assurances. After the Effective Time, the officers
and directors of the Surviving Corporation will be authorized to
execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of ATC, any deeds,
bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the
name and on behalf of ATC, any other actions and things to vest,
perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving
