sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (each a "Transfer")
any of the Exchanged Shares unless such Transfer complies with the provisions of
this Agreement and (i) the Transfer is pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
rules and regulations in effect thereunder or the securities laws of any other
relevant jurisdiction (the "Securities Act"), or (ii) counsel for the Holder
shall have furnished the Company with an opinion, reasonably acceptable to the

prohibition on Transfers contained herein, any Transfer in a private transaction
which does not include a public distribution is permitted and need not require
