13


(b) The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Shares in the following form:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (2) PURSUANT TO RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (3) TO THE COMPANY, (4) TO AN AFFILIATE OF THE INITIAL HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY, (5) IN CONNECTION WITH A PLEDGE OR (6) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AS SHALL BE EVIDENCED (IN THE CASE OF (6) ONLY) BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT UPON THE COMPANY’S REQUEST.
