Company describing the transfer or proposed transfer, together with an
opinion of counsel which (to the Company's reasonable satisfaction) is
knowledgeable in securities law matters to the effect that such
transfer of Restricted Securities may be effected without registration
of such Restricted Securities under the Securities Act. In addition,

Securities not bearing such legend, the holder thereof will not
transfer the same until the prospective transferee has confirmed to
the Company in writing its agreement to be bound by the conditions
contained in this paragraph.
