provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 8.6, and agrees to transfer such Shares to the Purchaser or another Controlled Corporation
of the Purchaser if it ceases to be a Controlled Corporation of the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in
this Agreement, the Purchaser may enter into bona fide transactions through a nationally recognized investment banking firm which constitute
a hedge against changes in the market price of the Common Stock, provided, however, no public disclosure is made with respect to such hedge
transactions, except in an initial Schedule 13D, the text of which is reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or if in the opinion of counsel to
Purchaser such disclosure is required as a matter of law.
8.7 ACQUISITION OF STOCK. The Purchaser shall advise management of the Company as to the Purchaser's general plans to acquire shares
of Common Stock, or rights thereto, reasonably in advance of any such acquisitions. All of the Purchaser's purchases of Common Stock shall
be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of this Agreement.
