Common use of Legal and Regulatory Compliance Clause in Contracts

Legal and Regulatory Compliance. The issuance of Shares shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities. If at any time the Company determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary as a condition to the issuance of Shares to Participant (or his or her estate), such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. If the Company determines that the issuance of any Shares will violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws or regulations or the requirements of any exchange or market system upon which the Shares are listed, the Company may defer issuance until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the issuance of Shares will no longer cause such violation. The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state or federal law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority, but the inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any Shares shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the issuance of Shares, the Company may require Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
