(b) The Company will not, during such period as the Prospectus would be required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of the Shares by an underwriter or dealer in connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement, file any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus unless a copy thereof shall first have been submitted to Grandview within a reasonable period of time prior to the filing thereof and Grandview shall not have reasonably objected thereto in good faith.
