7. PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES BY OTHERS.
From time to time, the achievement of certain results desired by the Reporting Company, including the promotion of interest in its public securities, may be enhanced by the services of other parties. These parties may include consultants, advertising agencies, financial analysts and similar persons who may, directly or indirectly, assist in creating interest in the Reporting Company's securities. All compensation, costs and expenses of such parties, if engaged by the Reporting Company, will be borne by it.
8. ACTIONS AND UNDERSTANDINGS FOLLOWING THE BUSINESS COMBINATION.
8.1. X.X. Xxxxxx and the Target Company understand the obligations and responsibilities that will arise in regard to its becoming a reporting company and the trading of its securities in the public market. X X Xxxxxx and the Target Company understand that in order to achieve the greatest market interest in its securities it, its officers and its directors, all or some, will be required to continuously interact with the financial community. This interaction will include, without limitation, timely filing of reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including audited financial statements; annual reports to shareholders and shareholder meetings; issuing periodic press releases; and meetings and discussions with existing and prospective brokers, market makers, investment bankers and institutions.
8.2. X.X. Xxxxxx understands that the completion of the Transactions will not, in itself, result in capital investment in the Reporting Company. The public status of the Reporting Company and its introduction to market makers and others in the financial community may result in investment interest. However, investment interest will depend upon the success of the Reporting Company, market conditions and other factors over which neither Tiber Creek nor its affiliates have any control.
| AGREEMENT WITH TIBER CREEK CORPORATION | PAGE NUMBER 4 |
8.3. X.X. Xxxxxx understands that the ultimate judgement of the financial community of the investment merits of the Reporting Company will depend upon the Reporting Company's ability to successfully carry out its business plans and operations, to operate at a profit and similar business considerations.
8.4. X.X. Xxxxxx understands that the first trading in the Reporting Company's securities may be limited, and that to increase the amount, depth and market price of its securities will require both time and effort by the Reporting Company to develop relations with market makers and to create strong and stable trading of the Reporting Company's securities.
