Trading Restrictions Each Investor represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that it will not (and its Affiliates acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will not) engage in or effect, directly or indirectly, any transactions in any securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales, “locking-up” borrow or hedging activities involving the Company’s securities) during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date that is fifteen (15) months following the Closing Date. In furtherance (and without limitation) of the foregoing, during such restricted period, neither such Investor nor any of such Affiliates, (a) will directly or indirectly, sell, agree to sell, grant any call option or purchase any put option with respect to, pledge, borrow or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company, or (b) will establish or increase any “put equivalent position” or liquidate or decrease any “call equivalent position” with respect to any such securities (in each case within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), or otherwise enter into any swap, derivative or other transaction or arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any economic consequence of ownership of any such securities, whether or not such transaction is to be settled by delivery of any such securities, other securities, cash or other consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that nothing contained in this Section 4.14 shall prohibit such Investor (or such Affiliates) from (1) purchasing or agreeing to purchase unrestricted securities of the Company or securities which are covered by an effective registration statement and the prospectus included therein is available for use on the date of such purchase (including through block trades or privately negotiated transactions), (2) purchasing or agreeing to purchase securities of the Company pursuant to Section 4.15 or otherwise from the Company, (3) exercising any or all Warrants to acquire Warrant Shares or otherwise acting under or enforcing, or receiving any right or benefit or adjustment under, the Warrants, (4) selling or agreeing to sell “long” securities of the Company (because such Investor or such Affiliate is “deemed to own such securities” pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 200 under Regulation SHO), including, without limitation, (I) any Company Shares, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares acquired hereunder or pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the Transaction Documents, (II) any shares of Common Stock or warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock held on the date hereof, (III) any shares of Common Stock acquired after the date hereof pursuant to the exercise of warrants to purchase Common Stock held on the date hereof, or (IV) securities acquired after the date hereof in accordance with this paragraph, (5) pledging or hypothecating any securities of the Company in connection with leverage arrangements engaged in by such Investor (or such Affiliates) without the purpose of transferring economic risk relating to such securities or (6) from transferring any of the Securities to any Affiliate who agrees in writing to be bound by this Section 4.14, in each case, provided such sale is in compliance with all applicable securities laws and following the public announcement of the transaction contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 4.6.
Selling Restrictions (i) Except as expressly set forth below, the Investor covenants that from and after the Closing Date through and including the Trading Day next following the expiration or termination of this Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), neither the Investor nor any of its Affiliates nor any entity managed or controlled by the Investor (collectively, the “Restricted Persons” and each of the foregoing is referred to herein as a “Restricted Person”) shall, directly or indirectly, (x) engage in any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities or (y) grant any option to purchase, or acquire any right to dispose of or otherwise dispose for value of, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any shares of Common Stock, or enter into any swap, hedge or other similar agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of the Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained herein shall (without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true) prohibit any Restricted Person during the Restricted Period from: (1) selling “long” (as defined under Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO) the Securities; or (2) selling a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Shares that such Restricted Person is or may be obligated to purchase under a pending Fixed Purchase Notice, a pending VWAP Purchase Notice or a pending Additional VWAP Purchase Notice but has not yet taken possession of so long as such Restricted Person (or the Broker-Dealer, as applicable) delivers the Shares purchased pursuant to such Fixed Purchase Notice, such VWAP Purchase Notice or such Additional VWAP Purchase Notice (as applicable) to the purchaser thereof or the applicable Broker-Dealer upon such Restricted Person’s receipt of such shares of Common Stock from the Company pursuant to this Agreement.
(ii) In addition to the foregoing, in connection with any sale of Securities (including any sale permitted by paragraph (i) above), the Investor shall comply in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
Offering Restrictions You will not make any offers or sales of Securities or any Other Securities in jurisdictions outside the United States except under circumstances that will result in compliance with (i) applicable laws, including private placement requirements, in each such jurisdiction and (ii) the restrictions on offers or sales set forth in any AAU or the Prospectus, Preliminary Prospectus, Offering Circular, or Preliminary Offering Circular, as the case may be. It is understood that, except as specified in the Prospectus or Offering Circular or applicable AAU, no action has been taken by the Manager, the Issuer, the Guarantor, or the Seller to permit you to offer Securities in any jurisdiction other than the United States, in the case of a Registered Offering, where action would be required for such purpose.
Stock Restrictions Optionee understands that at the time of the execution of this Option Agreement, the shares of the Stock issuable upon exercise of this Option have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or under any state securities law, and that the Company currently does not intend to effect any such registration. Optionee agrees that the shares of the Stock which Optionee may acquire by exercising this Option shall be purchased by Optionee for investment without a view to distribution within the meaning of the Act, and shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated unless such transfer has been registered under the Act and applicable state securities laws, or the transfer duly qualifies for an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities laws.

The Company may, in its sole discretion but subject to applicable law, instruct the Depositary to take action with respect to the ownership interest of any Holder or Beneficial Owner in excess of the limits set forth in the preceding sentence, including, but not limited to, the imposition of restrictions on the transfer of ADSs, the removal or limitation of voting rights or mandatory sale or disposition on behalf of a Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Shares represented by the ADSs held by such Holder or Beneficial Owner in excess of such limitations, if and to the extent such disposition is permitted by applicable law and the Articles of Association of the Company.
