registration statement under the Act or an exemption therefrom. The certificates
evidencing the shares of Common stock offered hereby will bear a legend which

give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Common Stock or any interest therein,

securities laws or in a transaction which is exempt from the registration
provisions of the Act and all applicable state securities laws; (B) that the
Company and any transfer agent for the Common Stock shall not be required to
