If an Investor has resold all or a portion of the Shares in a manner described under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in a then-effective and available registration statement registering the resale of the Shares (“Resale Registration Statement”) or pursuant to Rule 144 or other available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, such Investor shall promptly (a) send a confirmation to the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of such Shares that have been so resold and the date of such resale (such confirmation, the “Transfer Agent Confirmation”) and (b) deliver to the Company, the transfer agent and legal counsel to the Company a customary seller’s representation letter and broker’s representation letter confirming the resale of such Shares in the manner described above, together with any other documentation reasonably required by the transfer agent and/or the Depository Trust Company and, if applicable and requested by the Company, a legal opinion of the investor’s counsel that the sale of such shares did not require registration under the Securities Act, in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its legal counsel (the “Resale Deliverables”).

At the time the Company authorizes the removal of the Securities Act restrictive legend (and any stop transfer instructions placed against transfer of any such Shares) pursuant to this Section 18, the Company shall also use its commercially reasonable efforts, at its sole expense, to cause its legal counsel to issue to the transfer agent a legal opinion or direction letter instructing the transfer agent that it is authorized to remove the Securities Act restrictive legend affixed to such Shares as contemplated by this Section 18. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and any Depository Trust Company fees associated with such issuance.
