Section 5.06 The Acquisition of Action Common Shares. Action and Kalington understand and agree that the consummation of this Agreement including the issuance of the Action common shares to the Kalington Shareholders in exchange for the Kalington Shares as contemplated hereby constitutes the offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act and applicable state statutes. Action and Kalington agree that such transactions shall be consummated in reliance on exemptions from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of such statutes, which depend, among other items, on the circumstances under which such securities are acquired.
(a) In connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Action and Kalington shall each file, with the assistance of the other and their respective legal counsel, such notices, applications, reports, or other instruments as may be deemed by them to be necessary or appropriate in an effort to document reliance on such exemptions, and the appropriate regulatory authority in the states where the shareholders of Kalington reside unless an exemption requiring no filing is available in such jurisdictions, all to the extent and in the manner as may be deemed by such parties to be appropriate.
(b) In order to more fully document reliance on the exemptions as provided herein, Kalington, the Kalington Shareholders, and Action shall execute and deliver to the other, at or prior to the Closing, such further letters of representation, acknowledgment, suitability, or the like as Kalington or Action and their respective counsel may reasonably request in connection with reliance on exemptions from registration under such securities laws.
21
(c) The Kalington Shareholders acknowledge that the basis for relying on exemptions from registration or qualifications are factual, depending on the conduct of the various parties, and that no legal opinion or other assurance will be required or given to the effect that the transactions contemplated hereby are in fact exempt from registration or qualification.
Section 5.07 Sales of Securities Under Rule 144, If Applicable.
(a) Action will use its best efforts to at all times satisfy the current public information requirements of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act so that its shareholders can sell restricted securities that have been held for one year or more or such other restricted period as required by Rule 144 as it is from time to time amended.
(b) Upon being informed in writing by any person holding restricted stock of Action that such person intends to sell any shares under rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (including any rule adopted in substitution or replacement thereof), Action will certify in writing to such person that it is compliance with Rule 144 current public information requirement to enable such person to sell such person’s restricted stock under Rule 144, as may be applicable under the circumstances.
(c) If any certificate representing any such restricted stock is presented to Action’s transfer agent for registration or transfer in connection with any sales theretofore made under Rule 144, provided such certificate is duly endorsed for transfer by the appropriate person(s) or accompanied by a separate stock power duly executed by the appropriate person(s) in each case with reasonable assurances that such endorsements are genuine and effective, and is accompanied by a legal opinion that such transfer has complied with the requirements of Rule 144, as the case may be, Action will promptly instruct its transfer agent to register such transfer and to issue one or more new certificates representing such shares to the transferee and, if appropriate under the provisions of Rule 144, as the case may be, free of any stop transfer order or restrictive legend.
Section 5.10 Payment of Liabilities. Recognizing the need to extinguish all existing liabilities of Action prior to the Exchange, Kalington has indicated it will not enter into this Agreement unless Action has arranged for the payment and discharge of all of Action’s liabilities, including all of Action’s accounts payable and any outstanding legal fees incurred prior to the Closing Date. Accordingly, Action has agreed to arrange for the payment and discharge of all such liabilities.
