Prior to any transfer of any Restricted Securities, the holder thereof will give written notice to the Company describing in reasonable detail the manner and terms of the proposed transfer and the identity of the proposed transferee, accompanied by the written agreement of the proposed transferee to be bound by the Shareholders Agreement and all of the provisions hereof applicable to holders of such Restricted Securities hereunder or thereunder.
6.3 Restrictive Legends. For so long as the Purchased Securities remain subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 6, the certificates representing such Purchased Securities will bear restrictive legends in substantially the following forms:
“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may be transferred only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in accordance with an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.”
“The securities represented by this certificate are subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth in a Series C-1 and Series C-2 Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2005, and the Shareholders Agreement, dated as of November 21, 2002, as the same may be amended from time to time, by and among the issuer of such securities and the registered holder of this certificate (or such holder’s predecessor-in-interest) and certain others, as each such agreement may be amended and/or restated and in effect from time to time. A copy of such agreement is on file and may be inspected by the registered holder of this certificate at the principal executive office of the issuer.”
6.4 Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions imposed by this Section 6 upon the transferability of Restricted Securities will terminate as to any particular Restricted Securities when such Restricted Securities have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to which the transferee receives securities that are not “restricted securities” within the meaning of that term as defined in Rule 144(a)(3). Whenever any of such restrictions terminates as to any Restricted Securities, the holder thereof will be entitled to receive from the Company, at the Company’s expense, new certificates representing such Purchased Securities, without restrictive legends.
