The Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Purchased Units.

In order to enforce the Market Stand- Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Purchased Units until the end of the applicable stand-off period. The Company’s underwriters shall be beneficiaries of the agreement set forth in this Subsection (c). This Subsection (c) shall not apply to Units registered in the public offering under the Securities Act.
