Seller acknowledges the Purchase Price Units are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and thereafter must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

THE UNITS MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR DISTRIBUTED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT REGISTERING THE UNITS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE REQUIRING SUCH REGISTRATION, OR IN LIEU THEREOF, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH OPINION IS SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THE UNITS, TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACTS.

(iii) Except under certain limited circumstances, the above restrictions on the transfer of the Purchase Price Units will also apply to any and all Common Units or other securities issued or otherwise acquired with respect to such units, including, without limitation, securities issued or acquired as a result of any dividend, split or exchange or any distribution of securities pursuant to any corporate reorganization, reclassification or similar event.

(iv) Rio Vista and its transfer agent may refuse to effect a transfer of any of the Purchase Price Units by the Seller or any of their successors, personal representatives or assigns otherwise than as contemplated hereby in this Agreement.

(c) Registration of Purchase Price Units.

(ii) Indemnification. Rio Vista and the holders of the Purchase Price Units (and any Additional Units) agree to indemnify each other, to the extent permitted by law, against all damages suffered by the other as a result of (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact made by the party and contained in the Registration Statement or in the related prospectus or preliminary prospectus (or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto); or (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(d) Cooperation by Seller. The Seller will cooperate with Rio Vista as reasonably requested by Rio Vista in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement. Each of the Seller will furnish to Rio Vista such information regarding itself, the common units held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such common units as shall be reasonably required to cause the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and will execute and deliver such documents in connection with the Registration Statement as Rio Vista may reasonably request.
