At the Closing Date, each of the Members shall, on surrender of their certificate or certificates representing its Company Interests to Banjo or its registrar or transfer agent, be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates evidencing his proportionate interest in the Exchange Shares as set forth in Schedule 4.01 hereto. The Members acknowledge that the distribution of Banjo’s shares among them is not proportional to their holdings in the Company, but has been determined by agreement among them and that those who are receiving more than their proportionate share are compensating those who are receiving less than their proportionate share.

Such Closing shall take place at a mutually agreeable time and place, and be conditioned upon all of the conditions of the Exchange being met.

 

4.03 Closing Events. At the Closing, Banjo, the Company and the Members shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver (or shall ensure to be executed, acknowledged, and delivered), any and all certificates, financial statements, schedules, agreements, resolutions, rulings or other instruments required by this Agreement to be so delivered at or prior to the Closing, together with such other items as may be reasonably requested by the parties hereto and their respective legal counsel in order to effectuate or evidence the transactions contemplated hereby.
