 without the approval of such court and such approval may be conditioned upon such
terms as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems just including without limitation, a reservation of jurisdiction for any application to the Delaware Court of Chancery made under subsection (j) of Section 262; provided, however,

Section 262, of the date that the Merger has become effective.
