"The securities represented hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States and the securities regulatory authorities of applicable states or unless an exemption from such registration is available."

ADDITIONAL  RESTRICTIONS.   Shareholders  agree  that  no securities  shall be sold in the public market for  twelve  months after the Closing Date, without the consent of Parent.  After twelve months from the Closing Date, Seller and its affiliates may sell a maximum amount of Flint securities per month not to exceed the weekly average trading volume of Flint’s common stock in the prior month.  There will be placed on the certificates for such shares, or shares issued in substitution thereof, a legend stating in substance:

“The securities represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated ―----, a copy of which may be obtained from the Secretary of the Company.  The securities may not be sold or otherwise disposed of prior to ―-------------.  This restriction is independent of and in addition to the other restrictions on transfer noted hereon.”

any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Seller’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act, does not exceed 4.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  On the Closing Date each Shareholder to receive Merger Stock shall be assigned a maximum percentage ownership allowance at any given time following conversion, based on the Shareholder’s proportionate ownership interest in the Targets, the total aggregate percentage of which at any given time shall not exceed 4.999% as described above.

The Merger Stock shall be automatically converted into common stock upon a Change of Control.  Change of Control means any merger, consolidation, acquisition, separation, or reorganization in which more than 50% of the shares of Common Stock of the Parent outstanding immediately before such event are converted into cash or into another security, or any sale of more than 50% of the Parent's assets.
