(i) Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest and other income resulting from any investments thereof (if any)) that remains unclaimed by the holders of Eligible Shares for 12 months from and after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as determined by Parent.
