(b) Such Shareholder has been advised and acknowledges: (1) that the Buyer Common Stock has not been, and when issued will not be, registered under the Securities Act, as amended, the securities laws of any state of the United States or the securities laws of any other country; (2) that in issuing the Buyer Common Stock to such Shareholder pursuant hereto, Buyer is relying upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act; (3) that it is a condition to the availability of the Regulation S safe harbor that the Buyer Common Stock not be offered or sold in the United States or to a U.S. Person until the expiration of a period of twelve months following their issuance to such Shareholder, provided, however, that such period shall be reduced to six months upon the consummation of the Buyer IPO (the “Distribution Compliance Period”); (4) that prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the Buyer Common Stock may be offered and sold by the holder thereof only if the offer and sale is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and either: (A) the offer or sale is within the United States or to or for the account of a U.S. Person and pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; or (B) the offer and sale is outside the United States and to other than a U.S. Person; (5) that the foregoing restrictions are binding upon subsequent transferees of the Buyer Common Stock except for transferees pursuant to an effective registration statement; and (6) that after the Distribution Compliance Period, the Buyer Common Stock may be offered or sold within the United States or to or for the account of a U.S. Person only in accordance with this Agreement and pursuant to applicable securities laws.
(c) Such Shareholder covenants that, with respect to the Buyer Common Stock, until the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the Shareholder, its agents or representatives will not solicit offers to buy, offer for sale or sell any of the Buyer Common Stock or any beneficial interest therein in the United States or to or for the account of a U.S. Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the Buyer Common Stock may be offered and sold by the holder thereof only if such offer and sale is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and either: (A) the offer or sale is within the United States or to or for the account of a U.S. Person and pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; or (B) the offer and sale is outside the United States and to other than a U.S. Person.
(d) Such Shareholder understands that the Buyer Common Stock constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from Buyer in a transaction pursuant to Regulation S. Under applicable laws and regulations, the Buyer Common Stock may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Shareholder represents that such Shareholder is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Such Shareholder understands that although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.
(e) Such Shareholder has not engaged in, nor is such Shareholder aware that any party has engaged in, and such Shareholder covenants that it will not engage in or cause any third party to engage in, any directed selling efforts (as such term is defined in Regulation S) in the United States with respect to the Buyer Common Stock. Such Shareholder is not a “distributor” (as defined in Regulation S) or a “dealer” (as defined in the Securities Act).
(f) Such Shareholder covenants that such Shareholder will not engage in hedging transactions (within the meaning of Rule 903(b)(3)(iii)(B)(4) of Regulation S) with regard to the Buyer Common Stock unless in compliance with the Securities Act.
(g) Such Shareholder understands that the Buyer Common Stock will bear legends substantially in the following forms: Regulation S Legend “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND THE ISSUER DOES NOT INTEND TO REGISTER THEM. PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE ISSUANCE DATE, (THE “DISTRIBUTION COMPLIANCE DATE”), THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD (INCLUDING OPENING A SHORT POSITION IN SUCH SECURITIES) IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS (AS DEFINED BY RULE 902(k) ADOPTED UNDER THE ACT) UNLESS THE SECURITIES ARE REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT IS AVAILABLE. PURCHASERS OF SUCH SECURITIES PRIOR TO THE DISTRIBUTION COMPLIANCE DATE MAY RESELL SUCH SECURITIES ONLY PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT OR IN TRANSACTIONS EFFECTED OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES PROVIDED THEY DO NOT SOLICIT (AND NO ONE ACTING ON THEIR BEHALF SOLICITS) PURCHASERS IN THE UNITED STATES OR OTHERWISE ENGAGE(S) IN SELLING EFFORTS IN THE UNITED STATES. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT.” Other Securities Act Legend “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS. THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL”
(h) The certificates evidencing the Buyer Common Stock shall also bear any legend required pursuant to any state, local or foreign law governing such securities.
