4.02 Restrictive Legend. Each Noteholder acknowledges and agrees that, upon issuance pursuant to this Agreement, the Common Shares shall have endorsed thereon a legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order will be placed against transfer of the Common Shares until such legend has been removed):

The certificate(s) representing the Common Shares will also bear any other legends required by applicable state securities laws.

4.03 Removal of Legend. The legend referred to in Section 4.02 (the “Legend”) shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such Legend to the holder of any Common Shares upon which it is stamped, and a certificate for a Common Shares shall be originally issued without the Legend, if, (a) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements or (b) such Common Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 and the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Common Shares can be so sold without restriction.

In the event the Legend is removed from any certificate evidencing Common Shares or any Common Shares are issued without the Legend and the Common Shares are to be disposed of other than pursuant to a registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, then prior to, and as a condition to, such disposition such Common Shares shall be relegended as provided herein in connection with any disposition if the subsequent transfer thereof would be restricted under the Securities Act.

4.04 Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company agrees that at such time as such Legend is no longer required under Section 4.03, it will, no later than ten (10) days following the delivery by a Noteholder to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Common Shares issued with a Legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Noteholder a certificate representing such Common Shares that is free from such Legend, registered in the name of such Noteholder or its nominee. The Company covenants that no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this ARTICLE IV, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Common Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way each Noteholder’s obligations and agreement set forth herein to resell the Common Shares in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws.
