Except as provided in Section 4 hereof, the Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Warrant Shares on exercise of this Warrant.
2. Disposition of Warrant Shares and Warrant.
(a) The Holder hereby acknowledges that: (i) this Warrant and any Warrant Shares purchased pursuant hereto are not being registered (A) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) on the ground that the issuance of this Warrant is exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as not involving any public offering, or (B) under any applicable state securities law because the issuance of this Warrant does not involve any public offering; and (ii) that the Company’s reliance on the registration exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws is predicated in part on the representations hereby made to the Company by the Holder. The Holder represents and warrants that he, she, or it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire Warrant Shares for investment for his own account, with no present intention of dividing his participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing this Warrant or Warrant Shares.
(b) The Holder hereby agrees that it will not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”) all or any part of this Warrant and/or Warrant Shares unless and until (A) the securities to be transferred are eligible for transfer under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (B) there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transaction, or (C) he shall have first have given notice to the Company describing such Transfer and furnished to the Company (i) a statement from the transferee, whereby the transferee represents and warrants that he, she, or it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire Warrant Shares, as applicable, for investment for his own account, with no present intention of dividing his participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing this Warrant or Warrant Shares, as applicable, and either (ii) an opinion, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of counsel (skilled in securities matters, selected by the Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act and without registration or qualification under any state law, or (iii) an interpretative letter from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to the effect that no enforcement action will be recommended if the proposed sale or transfer is made without registration under the Act. It is agreed that, provided an opinion of counsel is not required by the Company’s transfer agent, (i) the Company shall not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances, and (ii) no registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer without consideration by a Holder to an Affiliate of such Holder or without consideration by a Holder which is (A) a partnership to its partners or retired partners in accordance with partnership interests, (B) a corporation to its shareholders in accordance with their interest in the corporation, (C) a limited liability company to its members or former members in accordance with their interests in the limited liability company, (D) an individual Holder to such Holder’s Immediate Family Member or a trust for the benefit of the individual Holder or an Immediate Family Member thereof. As used in this Section 2(b), “Affiliate,” as used in this Section, means, with respect to any specified person, any other person who, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such person, including without limitation any general partner, managing member, officer or director of such person, and “Immediate Family Member” means, with respect to a specified person, such person’s child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, xxxxxxx, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships.
(c) If, at the time of issuance of Warrant Shares, no registration statement is in effect with respect thereto under applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is not available for the sale of all of such Warrant Shares without limitation during a three-month period without registration, the Company may, at its election, require that (i) the Holder provide written reconfirmation of the Holder’s investment intent to the Company, and (ii) any stock certificate evidencing Warrant Shares shall bear legends reading substantially as follows:
“THE SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT PURSUANT TO WHICH THESE SHARES WERE PURCHASED FROM THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH RESTRICTIONS ARE ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF THE COMPANY. NO TRANSFER OF SUCH SHARES OR OF THIS CERTIFICATE (OR OF ANY SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES (OR CERTIFICATES THEREFOR) ISSUED IN EXCHANGE FOR OR IN RESPECT OF SUCH SHARES) SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS AND UNTIL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH.”
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THIS CERTIFICATE THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.”
