It shall be a condition precedent to the consummation of any Transfer of Transfer Securities to a Person not a party to this Agreement that such Person agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement pursuant to an instrument substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (or a counterpart to this Agreement).
