(a) It shall be unlawful for any beneficial owner of more than ten percent (10%) of any class of any equity security, director, or officer, directly or indirectly, to sell any equity security of the company if the person selling the security or his or her principal:
(1) Does not own the security sold; or
(2) If owning the security, does not deliver it against the sale within twenty (20) days thereafter or, within five (5) days after the sale, does not deposit it in the mails or other usual channels of transportation.
