               (b) such Investor shall have notified the Corporation of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Corporation with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and, at the expense of such Investor or its transferee, with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, that such disposition will not require registration of such securities under the Securities Act.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required for any transfer of any Purchased Shares in compliance with SEC Rule 144.

          4.8 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. The Investor hereby agrees that it shall not, to the extent requested by the Corporation or an underwriter of securities of the Corporation, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Purchased Shares or other shares of stock of the Corporation then owned by such Investor (other than to donees or partners of the Investor who agree to be similarly bound) for up to One Hundred Eighty (180) days following the effective date of any registration statement of the Corporation filed under the Securities Act; provided that, notwithstanding a request by the Corporation, Investor shall not be restricted under this Section 4.8 from selling or otherwise transferring or disposing of any Purchased Shares or other shares of stock of the Corporation at any time prior to the effective date of any registration statement.

     In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Corporation shall have the right to place restrictive legends on the certificates representing the shares subject to this Section and to impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Purchased Shares and such other shares of stock of the Investor (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. The Investor further agrees to enter into any agreement reasonably required by the underwriters to implement the foregoing within any reasonable timeframe so requested.

          4.9 Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Purchased Shares will bear the legends substantially similar to those set forth below:

               (a) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTIONS. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

     THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A 180 DAY MARKET STAND-OFF RESTRICTION AS SET FORTH IN A CERTAIN

4

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER.
