Transfer of Rights Hereunder. The rights granted to the Holders under this Agreement may be transferred to any transferee of the Shares other than a transferee of Shares that have been registered under the Securities Act, and, from and after any such transfer, the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Holders shall be applicable to such transferees. The foregoing notwithstanding, no transfer of the Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act unless and until the transferor delivers to Newpark an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Newpark to the effect that such transfer would not violate the registration provisions of the Securities Act and any applicable state law. In connection with the transfer of such Shares, Newpark may require each certificate representing Shares transferred to bear an appropriate restrictive legend. Such restrictive legend may be removed when (i) a registration statement with respect to the sale of the Shares represented thereby shall have become effective under the Securities Act, (ii) such Shares shall have been distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision) under the Securities Act, or (iii) such Shares shall have been otherwise transferred, new certificates for them not bearing a legend restricting further transfer shall have been delivered by Newpark and subsequent disposition of such Shares shall not require registration or qualification of them under the Securities Act or any applicable state law.
