The Vendors agree to abide by all applicable resale restrictions and hold periods imposed by all applicable securities legislation. The share certificate(s) representing the Consideration Shares issued and allotted on Completion will be endorsed with the following legend pursuant to the Securities Act in order to reflect the fact that the Consideration Shares will be issued and allotted to the Vendors pursuant to such safe harbor provisions relating to the prospectus and registration requirements of the Securities Act: |
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN OFFERED IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION TO A PERSON WHO IS NOT A U.S. PERSON (AS DEFINED HEREIN) PURSUANT TO REGULATION S UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”).
11
NONE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR ANY U.S. STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, UNLESS SO REGISTERED, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN THE UNITED STATES (AS DEFINED HEREIN) OR TO U.S. PERSONS EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN EACH CASE CONFIRMED BY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER AND ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

The Vendors agree that they may, if applicable, exchange the certificate(s) representing the Consideration Shares by delivering such certificate(s) to GIS duly executed and endorsed in blank (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers duly endorsed in blank), in each case in proper form for transfer, with signatures medallion guaranteed, and, if applicable, with all stock transfer and any other required documentary stamps affixed thereto and with appropriate instructions to allow the transfer agent to issue a certificate for the Consideration Shares to the holder thereof. |

1. |
I am not a “U.S. Person” as such term is defined by Rule 902 of Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) (the definition of which includes, but is not limited to, an individual resident in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and an estate or trust of which any executor or administrator or trust, respectively is a U.S. Person and any partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the laws of the U.S.); |

7. |

12. |
At the time of the origination of contact concerning the purchase of the Pubco Common Stock, and at the date of execution and delivery of the Sale and Purchase Agreement relating thereto, I, and any person acting on my behalf, was and am outside the U.S., its territories and possessions when receiving and executing the Agreement and am acquiring the Pubco Common Stocks as principal for my own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof, in whole or in part, and no other person has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Pubco Common Stocks; |
