Parent SEC Filings; Parent Financial Statements.
 
(a) 
The Parent has filed all forms, reports and documents required to be filed with the SEC. All such required forms, reports and documents (including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto and those documents that the Parent may file subsequent to the date hereof) are collectively referred to herein as the “Parent SEC Reports”. As of their respective dates, the Parent SEC Reports (i) were prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder applicable to such Parent SEC Reports, and (ii) did not at the time they were filed (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such filing) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
 
(b) 
Each of the financial statements (including, in each case, any related notes thereto) contained in the Parent SEC Reports (the “Parent Financials”), including any Parent SEC Reports filed after the date hereof until the Closing, as of their respective dates:
 
(i) complied as to form in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto;
 
(ii) was prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited interim financial statements, as may be permitted by the SEC on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act); and
 
(iii) fairly presented the financial position of the Parent at the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the periods indicated, except that the unaudited interim financial statements were or are subject to normal and recurring year-end adjustments which were not, or are not expected to be, material in amount.
 
The balance sheet of the Parent as of December 31, 2018 is hereinafter referred to as the “Parent Balance Sheet.” Except as disclosed in the Parent Financials, the Parent does not have any liabilities (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) of a nature required to be disclosed on a balance sheet or in the related notes to the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP which are, individually or in the aggregate, material to the business, results of operations or financial condition of the Parent, except liabilities (i) provided for in the Parent Balance Sheet, or (ii) incurred since the date of the Parent Balance Sheet in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices. No person who has been suspended or barred from being associated with a registered public accounting firm, or who has failed to comply with any sanction pursuant to Rule 5300 promulgated by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, has participated in or otherwise aided the preparation of, or audited, any financial statements, supporting schedules or other financial data filed by the Parent with the SEC.
 
6. 
Absence of Certain Changes or Events.  Except as disclosed in the Parent SEC Reports filed prior to the date hereof or as contemplated by this Agreement, since the date of the Parent Balance Sheet, Parent has conducted business only in, and has not engaged in any material transaction other than according to, the ordinary and usual course of such businesses and there has not been:
 
a) 
any change that individually or in the aggregate, has had or is reasonably likely to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect;
 
b) 
any material damage, destruction or other casualty loss with respect to any material asset or property owned, leased or otherwise used by Parent or GRA, whether or not covered by insurance;
 
c) 
any declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend or other distribution in cash, stock or property in respect of the capital stock of Parent, except for dividends or other distributions on its capital stock publicly announced prior to the date hereof and except as expressly permitted hereby;
 
d) 
any event that would constitute a violation of Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 hereof, if such event occurred after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Date; or
 
e) 
any change by Parent in accounting principles, practices or methods.

7. 
No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as reflected in the Parent Financials or as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 3.7, Parent has no liabilities (whether accrued, absolute, contingent, unliquidated or otherwise) except liabilities which have arisen after the date of the Parent Financials in the ordinary course of business (none of which is a material uninsured liability for breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort, infringement, claim, or lawsuit).
 
8. 
Tax Matters. The Parent timely filed all required Tax Returns with the appropriate Taxing Authorities before the Effective Date. These Tax Returns were true, correct, and complete in all material respects. No extension is in effect for Parent with respect to the filing of any Tax Return, the payment of any Taxes, or any limitation period regarding the assessment or collection of any Taxes. Parent has paid in full all Taxes which have become due and payable on or before the Effective Date (whether or not shown on any Tax Return). Adequate reserves and accruals have been established to provide for the payment of all Taxes which are not yet due and payable with respect to the Parent through the Effective Date. There are no liens for Taxes upon Parent or GRA or any of their properties or assets except for Taxes not yet due and payable. Neither Parent nor GRA has any liability for the Taxes of any other person under Treasury Regulation Section 1.502-6 (or similar provisions of state, local or foreign tax law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise. Parent does not have pending any ruling requests filed by it or on its behalf with any Taxing Authority and is not a party to any closing agreement described in Internal Revenue Code Section 7121 (or similar provisions of state, local or foreign law). No deficiency or proposed adjustment for any amount of Tax has been proposed, asserted, assessed or reassessed (as may be applicable) by any Taxing Authority against Parent that has not been paid, settled or otherwise resolved. There is no action, suit, claim, examination, investigation, proceeding or audit now pending, proposed or threatened against Parent with respect to any Taxes. Parent has not been notified by any Taxing Authority that any issues have been raised with respect to any Tax Return. No claim has been made within the past five (5) calendar years by any Taxing Authority in a jurisdiction where Parent did not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. Neither Parent nor GRA is an “investment company” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(2)(F)(iii) and (iv) of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
As used in this Agreement, “Tax” means any federal, state, province, local or foreign income taxes (including any tax on or based upon net income, or gross income, or income as specially defined, or earnings, or profits, or selected items of income, earnings or profits) and all gross receipts, estimated, sales, use, ad valorem, transfer, franchise, license, withholding, payroll, employment, excise, capital stock, social security (or similar), unemployment, disability, severance, stamp, gains, registration, value added, occupation, premium, real property, personal property, profits, windfall profits, environmental, alternative or add-on minimum taxes, custom duties or other taxes, fees, assessments or charges of any kind whatsoever, together with any interest and any penalties, additions to tax or additional amounts imposed by any Taxing Authority whether disputed or not.

(a) 
by mutual written consent duly authorized by the Boards of Director of Parent and GR/GW; or
 
(b) 
by either Parent or GR/GW if the Merger shall not have been consummated by June 30, 2019 (such date, being the “Outside Date”) for any reason; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause of, or resulted in the failure of, the Merger to occur on or before such date if such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement; or
