application of consolidated financial reporting principles under GAAP). Schick
agrees to respond to any inquiries with respect to the sale of the Stock
hereunder by confirming the sale, assignment, transfer and contribution of the
stock to the Buyer, and to note on its financial statements that the Stock has
