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

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.

(c) The
Kalington Shareholders acknowledge that the basis for relying on exemptions from
registration or qualifications are factual, depending on the conduct of the

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.
Section
5.11 Assistance with Post-Closing
SEC Reports and Inquiries. Upon the
reasonable request of Action, after the Closing Date, Xxxxxxx shall use his
reasonable best efforts to provide such information available to it, including
information, filings, reports, financial statements or other circumstances of
Action occurring, reported or filed prior to the Closing, as may be necessary or
required by Action for the preparation of the reports that Action is required to
file after Closing with the SEC to remain in compliance and current with its
reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, or filings required to address
