3.5 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Transaction Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws since they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.

 

3.6 Legends. The Investor understands that, except as provided below, certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares will bear the following or any similar legend:
