This excerpt taken from the TZIX 8-K filed Dec 29, 2006. 2.2. Dissenting Shares (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is held by any Company Stockholder who has not voted in favor of the Merger, has perfected such holders right to an appraisal of such holders shares in accordance with the applicable provisions of the NYBCL, as applicable, and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right to appraisal (a Dissenting Share), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(b), but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the applicable provisions of the NYBCL. In the event of the perfection of the rights set forth in this Section 2.2, Parent shall withhold from the cash component of the Merger Consideration an amount equal to the amount set forth in Section 2.1(b)(i) for such Company Stockholder Shares. Any Dissenting Share held by a person at the Effective Time who shall, after the Effective Time, withdraw the demand for appraisal or lose the right of appraisal, in either case pursuant to the NYBCL, shall be deemed to be converted into, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(b). (b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, withdrawals of demands for appraisal and any other instruments served pursuant to the applicable provisions of the NYBCL, relating to the appraisal process received by the Company, and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the NYBCL, with the participation of the Company.

Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued, but in lieu thereof each Company Payee, who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by such holder), shall receive from Parent an amount of cash (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of the fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, times the closing price for Parent Common Stock on the trading day prior to Closing. 2.4. Treatment of Company Options. The Company shall take all action necessary or required under the Company Option Plan and the option agreements representing the Company Options (the Option Agreements) to (i) fully accelerate the vesting of all Company Options effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; (ii) cause such Company Options to be

exercised, and if not exercised terminated, effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (iii) terminate the Company Option Plan effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. 2.5.

Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to rely on the Merger Consideration Certificate in connection with payment of the Merger Consideration. Should the actual number of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Options outstanding as of the Effective Time differ from that set forth on the Merger Consideration Certificate, the amount of Merger Consideration payable per share shall be adjusted accordingly.
