The Stockholder understands, acknowledges and agrees that he must bear the economic risk of its investment in the Parent Common Stock for an indefinite period of time and that the Parent Common Stock may not be resold or transferred on the official stock transfer records of Parent without furnishing to Parent an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Parent that such sale or transfer of the Parent Common Stock will not violate the registration provisions of applicable federal and state securities law. The Stockholder understands, acknowledges and agrees that certificates representing the Parent Common Stock shall have endorsed on them a restrictive legend to this effect.
(d) The Stockholder will, after the expiration of the Restricted Period, as set forth under Regulation S Rule 903(b)(3)(iii)(A), offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Parent Common Stock only in accordance with Regulation S, or pursuant to an available exemption under the Securities Act and, in any case, in accordance with applicable state securities laws.

The Stockholder agrees that he will not, during the Restricted Period set forth under Rule 903(b)(iii)(A), act as a distributor, either directly or through any affiliate, nor shall it sell, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey the Parent Common Stock other than to a non-U.S. Person.
(h) The Stockholder acknowledges that the Parent is relying on the representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments in this Section 2.9 to ensure that any the Parent Common Stock issued under the terms of this Agreement can be issued in reliance on exemptions from registration requirements under United States federal and state securities laws.

Upon delivery, the Company Financial Statements will have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated. The Company Financial Statements will fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and operating results of the Company, as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein. The Company will not have any material liabilities or obligations, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to December 31, 2011, and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in the Company Financial Statements, which, in both cases, individually and in the aggregate would not be reasonably expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect.
3.16. Insurance. The Company and its subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks in accordance with any applicable laws under their respective jurisdictions of organization and in such amounts as are customary in the businesses in which the Company and its subsidiaries are engaged and in the geographic areas where they engage in such businesses. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its and its subsidiaries’ existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business on terms consistent with market for the Company’s and such subsidiaries’ respective lines of business.
3.17. Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the Company Financial Statements, none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.
3.18. Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and its subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its subsidiaries, is made known to the officers by others within those entities. The Company’s officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures. Since December 31, 2011, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls.
3.19. Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date (and assuming that the closing shall have occurred), (i) the Company’s fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).
8
3.20. Application of Takeover Protections.
