the purchase of, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber or
dispose of any beneficial interest in ("Transfer") any Common Stock or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for or evidencing any right to
purchase or subscribe for any shares of Common Stock (either pursuant to Rule
144 of the regulations under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
otherwise) either beneficially owned by the undersigned as of the effective date
of the Registration Statement or acquired by the undersigned during the Lock-up
Period as a result of the exercise of options (the "Securities").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may effect a Transfer of shares
of Common Stock as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the undersigned
provides prior written notice of such gift or gifts to you and the donee or
donees thereof agree to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein.
In the event that the Representative consents to a Transfer, the
