WHEREAS, the Company may consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to another Person subject to the provisions of Section 6.01 of the Indenture, and the Merger complies with the provisions of Section 6.01 of the Indenture;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions therein, at the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the Common Stock) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Common Stock held by (i) Parent, Merger Sub or the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise), or by any of their direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, in each case other than shares of Common Stock held on behalf of third parties and (ii) stockholders who are entitled to demand and who properly and validly demand (and do not subsequently withdraw or fail to perfect) their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such shares of Common Stock in compliance in all respects with applicable law) will be automatically converted into the right to receive $335.00 per share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding of taxes;
