stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, the applicable Per
Share Amount may be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose

(or any agent
-19-
designated by
Parent) any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the
payment of the applicable Per Share Amount to a Person other than

amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom
under United States federal or state, local or foreign Tax law. To
the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such
amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as
having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise
have been paid.

forth in this Agreement, none of the Paying Agent, Parent, the

outstanding immediately prior to the Merger who have not
theretofore surrendered their Certificates evidencing such shares
of Company Capital Stock for exchange pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 2.8 shall thereafter look for payment of
the applicable Per Share Amount payable in respect of the shares of
Company Capital Stock evidenced by such Certificates solely to
Parent, as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the
applicable Per Share Amount (without interest thereon) to which
such holders may be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this
Article II .
2.9 No Further
Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock . From and after the
Effective Time, all shares of Company Capital Stock shall no longer
be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled, retired and

condition precedent to the payment of such Per Share Amount,
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 Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the
Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or
destroyed.
2.11 Necessary
Further Actions . If, at any time after the Effective Time, any

the directors and officers of the Company and Merger Sub shall take
all such lawful and necessary action.
