Reorganization Status. Neither GPSI nor Parent shall, nor shall either of them permit any Affiliate to, take any actions that would, or would be reasonably likely to, adversely affect the status of the Merger as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. GPSI, Parent, and their respective Affiliates shall use all reasonable efforts to achieve such result. Unless otherwise required by Law, each of GPSI, Parent, and their respective Affiliates shall (i) report the Merger on all Tax Returns as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and (ii) not take any position or action that is inconsistent with the characterization of the Merger as such a reorganization in any audit, administrative proceeding, litigation or otherwise. For at least two years after the Effective Time, (A) Merger Subsidiary will not (and Parent will not cause or permit Merger Subsidiary to) (1) sell or otherwise dispose of a substantial part of its assets except in the ordinary course of business, (2) dissolve, (3) liquidate, or (4) merge into another entity (whether or not such entity is owned by Parent or any of Parent's Subsidiaries), and (B) Parent will not transfer any stock of Merger Subsidiary or cause or permit Merger Subsidiary to issue any stock to any Person other than Parent; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall prohibit Parent from pledging shares of capital stock of Merger Subsidiary or other assets of Merger Subsidiary to a financial institution as collateral in connection with a secured financing.
