No certificates or scrip representing less than one full share of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates representing Company Common Stock, Company Stock Options or Company Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 3.1(b), (g) or (h). In lieu of any such fractional share, each Company Holder who would otherwise have been entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock upon surrender of Certificates for exchange pursuant to Section 3.1(b), (g) or (h) shall be paid upon such surrender cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such holder's proportionate interest in the net proceeds from the sale or sales in the open market by the Exchange Agent, on behalf of all such holders, of the aggregate fractional Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section 3.4.

As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash to be paid to former Company Holders in lieu of any fractional interests, the Exchange Agent shall make available in accordance with this Merger Agreement such amounts to such former stockholders.
