Parent shall take all necessary steps to have available promptly - ------------- after the effective time of the Mergers the certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in exchange for the outstanding shares of EE&C Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1 and, from time to time, cash for payment in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.2(f). (b) Exchange Procedure. (i) At or prior to the EE&C Effective Time of ------------------ the Merger, Parent shall make available to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the EE&C Effective Time of the Merger represented outstanding shares of EE&C Common Stock (the "Certificates") whose shares were converted into the right to receive the EE&C Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a), (1) a Letter of Transmittal in the form set forth as Exhibit A to this Agreement and (2) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the EE&C Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to Parent or to such agent or agents as may be appointed by the Parent, together with such Letter of Transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Parent or such agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the EE&C Merger Consideration into which the shares of EE&C Common Stock shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a), cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(f) and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(c), and the Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of EE&C Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of EE&C Health, payment may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the EE&C Surviving Corporation that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. At any time after the EE&C Effective Time of the Merger, each Certificate shall be deemed to represent only the right to receive upon surrender the EE&C Merger Consideration into which the shares of EE&C Common Stock shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a), cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.2(f) and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(c), in each case, without interest thereon. (ii) At or prior to the Med-Data Effective Time of the Merger, Parent shall make available to each member of Med-Data who immediately prior to the Med-Data Effective Time of the Merger held a Med-Data Membership Interest and whose Med-Data Membership Interest converted into the right to receive the Med-Data Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(b), (1) a Letter of Transmittal in the form set forth as Exhibit A to this Agreement and (2) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Med-Data Membership Interest in exchange for the Med-Data Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Med-Data Membership Interest pursuant to such Letter of Transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Parent or such agent, the holder of such Med-Data Membership Interest shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Med-Data Merger Consideration into which the Med-Data Membership Interest shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and the Med-Data Membership Interest so surrendered shall be deemed canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Med-Data Membership Interest which is not registered in the transfer records of Med-Data, payment may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any 6 transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Med-Data Surviving Company that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. At any time after the Med-Data Effective Time of the Merger, each Med-Data Membership Interest shall be deemed to represent only the right to receive upon surrender the Med-Data Merger Consideration into which the Med-Data Membership Interest shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(b), without interest thereon. (iii) At or prior to the MIS Effective Time of the Merger, Parent shall make available to each member of MIS who immediately prior to the MIS Effective Time of the Merger held a MIS Membership Interest and whose MIS Membership Interest converted into the right to receive the MIS Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c), (1) a Letter of Transmittal in the form set forth as Exhibit A to this Agreement and (2) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the MIS Membership Interest in exchange for the MIS Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a MIS Membership Interest, pursuant to such Letter of Transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Parent or such agent, the holder of such MIS Membership Interest shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the MIS Merger Consideration into which the MIS Membership Interest shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1 and the MIS Membership Interest so surrendered shall be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of MIS Membership Interest which is not registered in the transfer records of Medical Intercept, payment may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the MIS Surviving Company that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. At any time after the MIS Effective Time of the Merger, each MIS Membership Interest shall be deemed to represent only the right to receive upon surrender the MIS Merger Consideration into which the MIS Membership Interest shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1. (c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or ------------------------------------------------ other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the effective time of the Mergers shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or unsurrendered membership interest, as the case may be, with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares, if any, shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.2(f), in each case until the surrender of such Certificate or such unsurrendered membership interest, as the case may be, in accordance with this Article II. Subject to the effect of applicable escheat laws, following surrender of any such Certificate or such unsurrendered membership interest, as the case may be, there shall be paid to the holder of the certificate representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(f) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the effective time of the Mergers theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the effective time of the Mergers but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock. (d) No Further Ownership Rights. (i) All merger consideration paid --------------------------- upon the surrender of Certificates or membership interests, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Article II (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.2(f)) shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of EE&C Common Stock represented by such Certificates or to the membership interests, as the case may be, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock or membership interest transfer books of 7 the EE&C Surviving Corporation, the Med-Data Surviving Company or the MIS Surviving Company, as the case may be, of the shares of EE&C Common Stock or membership interests, as the case may be, which were outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Mergers. If, after the effective time of the Mergers, Certificates are presented to the EE&C Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II. (e) No Liability. If any Certificates or membership interests, as the ------------ case may be, shall not have been surrendered prior to six months after the effective time of the Mergers, the merger consideration (and any cash payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c) or 2.2(f)) payable in respect of such Certificates or such membership interests, as the case may be, shall be held by Parent, after which time any holders of such Certificates or such membership interest, as the case may be, shall look only to Parent for such merger consideration (and such cash) in respect of such Certificates. None of Parent, Merger Subsidiary or the Company shall be liable to any person in respect of any merger consideration (or any cash payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c) or 2.2(f)) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. (f) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing -------------------- fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of Parent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of EE&C Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the Mergers who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of Parent Common Stock multiplied by $21.75.
