As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of an investor under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
(b) (i)The Investors understand that so long as is required by this Section 7(b), a legend shall be placed on the Securities in the following form:
These securities have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the securities commission of any state in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, accordingly, may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to any available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and in accordance with applicable state securities laws as evidenced by a legal opinion of counsel to the transferor to such effect, the substance of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the
13
Company. These securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account with a registered broker-dealer or other loan with a financial institution that is an accredited investor or qualified institutional buyer as defined under the Securities Act.
(ii) The Company acknowledges and agrees that an investor may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an Accredited Investor or Qualified Institutional Buyer as defined under the 1933 Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Investor may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledge, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. At the appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.
(c) Certificates evidencing the Securities shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 7(b)): (i) following a sale or transfer of such Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement (including the Registration Statement), or (ii) following a sale or transfer of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) while such Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k). The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the Agreement to the contrary, after a Registration Statement is declared effective, in the event any Investor requests the Company to remove the legend set forth in Section 7(b), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to so remove the legend.
8. Miscellaneous.

Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
