(b) INVESTMENT INTENT AT EXERCISE. In the event that the sale of Shares under this Amendment and Restatement is not registered under the Securities Act but an exemption is available which requires an investment representation, the Optionee shall represent and agree at the time of exercise that the Shares being acquired upon exercising the Option are being acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act.
