Seller understands that the Buyer Shares to be received by Seller are "restricted securities" under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and regulations, and that pursuant to these laws, Seller must hold the Buyer Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Seller acknowledges that the Buyer has no obligation to register or qualify the Buyer Shares for resale. Seller further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Buyer Shares, and requirements relating to Buyer which are outside of the Seller's control and which the Buyer is under no obligation, and may not be able, to satisfy. However, Seller may sell shares as allowed by the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission Rule 144 of the Securities Act 1933after a holding period equal to six (6) months from the time shares are issued to Seller. Buyer shall provide at Buyer's expense an opinion letter from counsel to remove the legend.
