THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE SECURITIES LAWS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS. In connection with a transfer of Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant in reliance on Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, the Holder or its broker shall deliver to the Company a broker representation letter providing to the Company any information the Company reasonably deems necessary to determine that such sale is made in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, including, as may be appropriate, a certification that such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Act) and a certification as to the length of time the applicable equity interests have been held. Upon receipt of such representation letter, the Company shall promptly remove the restrictive legend on Shares, and the Company shall bear all costs associated with the removal of such legend from Shares. At such time as Shares issued upon the conversion of this Warrant (A) have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, (B) have been held by the Holder for more than one year where the Holder is not, and has not been in the preceding three months, an affiliate of the Company (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act), or (C) no longer require such restrictive legend on Shares, as set forth in an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if the restrictive legend is still in place, the Company agrees, upon request of such Holder, to take all steps necessary to promptly effect the removal of such legend, and the Company shall bear all costs associated with such removal of such legend. The Company shall cooperate with the Holder to effect the removal of such legend from Shares at any time such legend is no longer appropriate.

Removal of Restrictive Legend The legend set forth above shall ----------------------------- be removed by the Company from any certificate evidencing Shares or Conversion Shares upon delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that a registration statement under the Securities Act is at that time in effect with respect to the legended security or that such security can be freely transferred in a public sale without such a registration statement being in effect and that such transfer will not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions from registration pursuant to which the Company issued the Shares or Conversion Shares.
Removal of Restrictive Legends In the event that Purchaser has any shares of the Company’s Common Stock bearing any restrictive legends, and Purchaser, through its counsel or other representatives, submits to the Transfer Agent any such shares for the removal of the restrictive legends thereon in connection with a sale of such shares pursuant to any exemption to the registration requirements under the Securities Act, and the Company and or its counsel refuses or fails for any reason (except to the extent that such refusal or failure is based solely on applicable law that would prevent the removal of such restrictive legends) to render an opinion of counsel or any other documents or certificates required for the removal of the restrictive legends, then the Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Purchaser is hereby irrevocably and expressly authorized to have counsel to the Purchaser render any and all opinions and other certificates or instruments which may be required for purposes of removing such restrictive legends, and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the Company, issue any such shares without restrictive legends as instructed by the Purchaser, and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified by the Purchaser, certificates, registered in the name of the Purchaser or its designees, representing the shares of Common Stock to which the Purchaser is entitled, without any restrictive legends and otherwise freely transferable on the books and records of the Company.
