normal business hours during the period prior to the Closing to all information
concerning LDDI, as the Company may reasonably request, provided that LDDI and
the LDDI Stockholders shall not be required to disclose any information which
either of them is legally required to keep confidential. The Company will not
use such information for purposes other than this Agreement and will otherwise
hold such information in confidence (and the Company will cause its consultants
and advisors also to hold such information in confidence) until such time as
such information otherwise becomes publicly available, and in the event of
termination of this Agreement for any reason the Company shall promptly return,
or cause to be returned, to the disclosing party all documents obtained from
LDDI and the LDDI Stockholders, and any copies made of such documents, extracts
and copies thereof.
(b) The Company shall afford to LDDI and the LDDI
Stockholders and shall cause its independent accountants to afford to LDDI and
the LDDI Stockholders, and their accountants, counsel and other representatives,
reasonable access during normal business hours during the period prior to the
Closing to all of the Company's properties, books, contracts, commitments and
records and to the audit work papers and other records of the Company's
independent accountants. During such period, the Company shall use reasonable
efforts to furnish promptly to LDDI and the LDDI Stockholders such information
concerning the Company as LDDI and the LDDI Stockholders may reasonably request,
provided that the Company shall not be required to disclose any information
which it is legally required to keep confidential. LDDI and the LDDI
Stockholders will not use such information for purposes other than this
Agreement and will otherwise hold such information in confidence (and LDDI and
the LDDI Stockholders will cause their respective consultants and advisors also
to hold such information in confidence) until such time as such information
otherwise becomes publicly available, and in the event of termination of this
Agreement for any reason LDDI and the LDDI Stockholders shall promptly return,
or cause to be returned, to the disclosing party all documents obtained from the
Company, and any copies made of such documents, extracts and copies thereof.
8.2 Communications. Between the date hereof and the Closing
Date, neither LDDI nor the Company will, without the prior written approval of
the other party, furnish any communication to its shareholders or to the public
generally if the subject matter thereof relates to the other party or to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as may be necessary, in the
opinion of their respective counsel, to comply with the requirements of any law,
governmental order or regulation.
8.3 Blue Sky Laws. The Company shall take such steps as may be
necessary to comply with the securities and Blue Sky laws of all jurisdictions
which are applicable in
13
14
connection with the issuance of the Company Shares to the LDDI Stockholders
pursuant to this Agreement. LDDI shall use its best efforts to assist the
Company as may be necessary to comply with such laws.
8.4 Update to Disclosures. Without limiting the Company's right
to rely on the representations and warranties as of the date of this Agreement,
LDDI shall provide the Company with updates to the disclosures provided or made
available to the Company as to material facts which arise between the date of
this Agreement and the Closing and which, if they had occurred and been known
prior to the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been
disclosed in order to make the representations and warranties contained in
Article 4 true and correct as of the date of this Agreement.
8.5 Securities Law Matters. The Company Shares issued to the
LDDI Stockholders shall be issued without registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, (the "Act"), in reliance upon certain exemptions from the
registration requirements of the Act, including Regulation D adopted thereunder.
Accordingly, the Company Shares may not be resold by the holders thereof without
registration under the Act unless a further exemption from the registration
requirements of the Act is available for such resale. All certificates
representing the Company Shares shall bear the following legend or a legend of
similar import:
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"ACT"), OR UNDER CERTAIN STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE OR
TRANSFER OF THESE SHARES MAY BE MADE IN THE ABSENCE OF (1) AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR (2) AN OPINION
OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT OR UNDER APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH
PROPOSED SALE OR TRANSFER."
