2.9.5      Cancellation of Treasury Shares and Shares Held by STRV. Any and all CNSR Shares owned by STRV or MergerCo or held in the treasury of CNSR shall be cancelled and cease to exist at the Effective Time, and no consideration shall be paid with respect thereto.

 

2.9.6      No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of STRV Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. If the number of shares a holder of CNSR Shares holds immediately prior to the Closing multiplied by the applicable exchange ratio would result in the issuance of a fractional share of STRV Common Stock, that product will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of STRV Common Stock if it is less than the fraction of one-half of one (0.5) share of STRV Common Stock or rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of STRV Common Stock if the said product is equal to or greater than the fraction of one-half of one (0.5) share of STRV Common Stock.

 

2.9.7      Cancellation and Retirement of CNSR Shares. As of the Effective Time, all CNSR Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such CNSR Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration per share upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.10, without any interest thereon, subject to any applicable withholding tax.

 

2.9.8      Stock Options and Warrants. At the Effective Time, all options to purchase shares of CNSR Common Stock then outstanding and all warrants to purchase shares of CNSR Common Stock or CNSR Preferred Stock then outstanding, in each case whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by STRV or replaced with STRV options and warrants on substantially identical terms (each an “Assumed Option” or “Assumed Warrant” and together, each an “Assumed Option and Warrant”) in accordance with this Section 2.9.8 , provided that warrants to purchase shares of CNSR Common Stock or CNSR Preferred Stock will be exercisable into shares of STRV Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio applicable thereto. Each Assumed Option and Warrant will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such options immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, any repurchase rights or vesting provisions and provisions regarding the acceleration

 

8

 


of vesting on certain transactions), except that (i) each Assumed Option and Warrant will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of STRV Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of CNSR Common Stock or CNSR Preferred Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such CNSR option or warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the CNSR Common Exchange Ratio, or CNSR Series B Preferred Stock Exchange Ratio, as applicable, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of STRV Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Assumed Option and Warrant will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of CNSR Common Stock at which such CNSR option or warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the CNSR Common Exchange Ratio. STRV will assume as of the Effective Time each CNSR stock incentive plan providing for the issuance or grant of CNSR Options. Upon assumption of such plans, such amendments thereto as may be required to reflect the Merger will be deemed to have been made.

 

 

2.10

Exchange of Certificates.

 

2.10.1    Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, STRV shall deliver to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which, immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of CNSR Shares (the “Certificates”) whose shares are converted pursuant to Section 2.9 into the right to receive Merger Consideration: (i) a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to STRV or its designated agent and shall be in such form and have such other customary provisions as STRV may reasonably specify), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificate in exchange for the Merger Consideration allocable to the CNSR Shares formerly represented thereby.

 

2.10.2    Merger Share Certificates. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to STRV, or to any agent or agents as may be appointed by STRV, together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and executed in accordance with its terms and such other documents as STRV or its agent or agents, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore, a certificate (“Merger Share Certificate”) representing the number of shares of STRV Common Stock which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.9 and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If any certificate for such STRV Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate for CNSR Shares surrendered for exchange is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed, with signature guaranteed, or otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to STRV or its transfer agent any transfer or other taxes or other costs required by reason of the issuance of certificates for such STRV Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or establish to the satisfaction of STRV or its transfer agent that all taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.10.2, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.9.

 

9

 


2.10.3    Lost Certificates. If any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by STRV, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as STRV may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, STRV shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration due to such Person as provided in Section 2.9.

 

2.10.4    Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to STRV Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate for CNSR Shares with respect to the shares of STRV Common Stock, the right to receive which is represented thereby, until the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.10.

 

2.10.5    No Further Ownership Rights in CNSR Shares. All shares of STRV Common Stock issued upon the surrender of the Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Section 2, shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to CNSR Shares theretofore represented by such certificates.

 

2.10.6    No Liability. None of the Parties shall be liable to any Person in respect of any shares of STRV Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any certificates representing CNSR Shares shall not have been surrendered prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing, any such shares, dividends or distributions in respect of such certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of STRV, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Except as disclosed on the CNSR Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness or other securities of CNSR having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which shareholders of CNSR may vote. The CNSR Disclosure Schedule sets forth the outstanding capitalization of CNSR, including a list of all holders of CNSR Shares and their respective holdings. Except as set forth on the CNSR Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding securities, options, warrants, calls, rights, commitments, agreements, arrangements or undertakings of any kind to which CNSR is a party or by which it is bound obligating CNSR to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares or other equity or voting securities of CNSR or obligating CNSR to issue, grant, extend or enter into any such security, option, warrant, call, right, commitment, agreement, arrangement or undertaking. There are no outstanding contractual obligations, commitments, understandings or arrangements of CNSR or any CNSR Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or make any payment in respect of any securities of CNSR. There are no agreements or arrangements pursuant to which CNSR is or could be required to register CNSR Common Stock or other securities under the Securities Act, or other agreements or arrangements with or among any security holders of CNSR with respect to securities of CNSR.

 

3.4          Authority. CNSR has the requisite corporate and other power and authority to enter into this Agreement and, subject to obtaining the CNSR Shareholder Approval, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by CNSR and the consummation by CNSR of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of CNSR; the Board of Directors has recommended adoption of this Agreement by the shareholders of CNSR; and no other corporate proceedings on the part of CNSR or its shareholders are necessary
