Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares on the date that is 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger who have not theretofore surrendered their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing such shares of Company Common Stock for exchange pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.10 shall thereafter look solely to Parent, as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the applicable Merger Consideration to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article III.
