Common use of Manner of Merger Clause in Contracts

Manner of Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined below), Heritage shall be merged with and into Acquisition Corp pursuant to the provisions of, and with the effect provided in, the Illinois Business Corporation Act of 1983, as amended (the "Illinois BCA"), and Acquisition Corp shall be the corporation resulting from such merger (the "Surviving Corporation"). As a result of the Merger, each share of Heritage Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Dissenting Shares (as defined below), will be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock as provided in Section 3.2. Each right to acquire shares of Heritage Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to acquire shares of Acquiror Common Stock as provided in Section 6.12. The parties agree that they will cooperate and restructure the method of the Merger so as to prevent the recognition of the deferred inter-company tax liability relating to the purchase and assumption transaction consummated by the Bank and the Trust Bank, provided, however, that any such restructuring shall have no adverse effect on the consideration to be received pursuant to the terms of this Agreement by, or the tax effect on, holders of Heritage Common Stock.
