The Company and, on its behalf, Parent and the Surviving Corporation, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any portion of the Closing Adjusted Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Capital Stock, a Company Convertible Note, a Company Option or a Company Warrant such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any applicable provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax Law or under any applicable legal requirement, including any federal or state income tax withholding as a result of the exercise of a Company Option prior to the Effective Time. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid, and Parent or the Surviving Corporation will promptly pay such amounts to the applicable taxing authority and will provide prompt written notice of such payment to the Effective Time Company Stockholder. Any such withholding shall be satisfied first by reducing the amount of the cash portion of the Merger Consideration payable to such Person hereunder, and to the extent the amount of required withholding exceeds the cash consideration payable to the Person, then by reducing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such Person hereunder (such number of shares to be determined using the Trading Price).

To the extent that any Effective Time Company Stockholder has outstanding loans from the Company as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Section 2.7 to such Effective Time Company Stockholder shall be reduced in equal proportions of cash and shares of Parent Common Stock by an amount equal to the sum of the outstanding principal plus any accrued but unpaid interest of such Effective Time Company Stockholder’s loans as of the Effective Time. Such loans shall be deemed fully satisfied as to the amount by which the consideration is reduced pursuant to this Section 2.7(j) . To the extent that any consideration otherwise payable to such Effective Time Company Stockholder is so reduced, such amount shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to such Effective Time Company Stockholder.

          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8(a) , if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s dissenters or appraisal rights under Delaware Law, then, as of the later of the

          (c) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal or other payment received by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of Delaware Law, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.
