Subscriber further understands that the Trust, as a condition to the transfer of any of the Shares, may require that the request for transfer be accompanied by
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trust, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trust and preceded by prior written notice, to the effect that the proposed transfer does not result in violation of the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, unless such transfer is covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws. Subscriber understands that each certificate (if any) representing the Shares and any securities issued upon conversion or exercise of any securities in, the Shares or on account of ownership thereof will bear the following legend or one substantially similar thereto:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE, AND MAY NOT BE
SOLD, MORTGAGED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SHARES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
(2) The representations, warranties, understandings, acknowledgments and agreements in this Agreement are true and accurate as of the date hereof, shall be true and accurate as of the date of the acceptance hereof by the Trust and shall survive thereafter.
(3) This Agreement shall be enforced, governed and construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, as such laws are applied by Delaware courts to agreements entered into and to be performed in Delaware, and shall be binding upon Subscriber, his heirs, estate, legal representatives, successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Trust and its successors and assigns.
(4) Subscriber agrees not to transfer or assign this Agreement, or any of his interest herein, without the express written consent of the Trust.
(5) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous representations, warranties, agreements and understandings in connection therewith. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing executed by all parties hereto. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts.
(6) Subscriber recognizes it is important under the Securities Act and state securities law that the Trust determine if potential investors are “accredited investors,” as defined in Appendix A attached hereto. Subscriber represents that it is an “accredited investor.” Subscriber further represents that it is a citizen of the State of New York. Subscriber is not a resident of any other jurisdiction.
