4.1.3
Such SGK Shareholders is not a party to any voting agreement or other
shareholder agreement with respect to his SGK Shares or ownership of
SGK.
4.2 Investment
Representations.
4.2.1
Such SGK Shareholder is acquiring the DKII Shares to be delivered to him
hereunder for his own account with the present intention of holding such
securities for purposes of investment, and that he has no intention of selling
such securities in a public distribution in violation of the federal securities
laws of the United States of America.
4.2.2
Such SGK Shareholder understands that (a) the DKII Shares that he shall be
acquiring hereunder are "Restricted Securities," as defined in Rule 144; (b)
such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, and are being
issued in reliance on exemptions for private offerings contained in Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act; (c) his DKII Shares may not be re-offered or resold
except through a valid and effective registration statement or pursuant to a
valid exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act; and
(d) until such time as such SGK Shareholder's DKII Shares become eligible for
sale by him, either pursuant to the registration of such shares under the
Securities Act, or pursuant to a valid exemption from such registration, the
certificates evidencing such SGK Shareholder's ownership of those DKII Shares
shall contain the following legend:
"The
shares of common stock evidenced by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Such shares may not be
sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless they
have been so registered or the issuer of such shares
shall
have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it to the effect that
registration thereof for purposes of transfer is not required under the Act or
the securities laws of any state."
4.2.3
Such SGK Shareholder is fully aware of the restrictions on sale, transferability
and assignment of his DKII Shares, and that he must bear the economic risk of
retaining ownership of such securities for an indefinite period of time. Such
SGK Shareholder is aware that (a) the DKII Shares will not be registered under
the Securities Act; and (b) because the issuance of his DKII Shares has not been
registered under the Securities Act, an investment in the DKII Shares cannot be
readily liquidated if such SGK Shareholder desires to do so, but rather may be
required to be held indefinitely.

WARRANTIES OF DKII

consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and

of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by DKII

authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of DKII, and no
other corporate proceedings on the part of DKII are necessary to authorize

with, any Governmental Entity is required by DKII in connection with the
execution of this Agreement by DKII or the consummation by it of the
