shares delivered to Agent hereunder in certificated form or maintained by Agent
in book-entry.

3. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of the New Shares will be issued in

fractional shares.

Effective Time shall be canceled by the Agent, (b) any certificates representing
Old Shares deemed surrendered at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 5.03 of
