Any stockholder or beneficial owner who has delivered a written demand to STAAR and who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined
such proceeding as a named party may withdraw his or her or its demand for appraisal in respect of some or all of such person’s shares of STAAR common stock and accept the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of STAAR common stock

Effective Time will require written approval of the Surviving Corporation. No appraisal proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery will be dismissed as to any person without the approval of such court and such approval may be conditioned upon such

of STAAR common stock and accept the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of STAAR common stock subject to the withdrawal within 60 days after the Effective Time.
