favorable opinion of counsel or submission to the Company of such evidence as
may be reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company, in each such case, to
the effect that any such transfer shall not be in violation of the Securities
Act of 1933 and the State Acts. It shall be a condition to the transfer of this
Option that any transferee hereof deliver to the Company its written agreement
