An appropriate legend describing this Agreement and the Leak-Out Period shall be imprinted on each stock certificate representing Common Stock owned by the Employee and the transfer records of the Company’s transfer agent. The Employee agrees that he will not engage in any short selling of any of the Company’s common stock during the Leak-Out Period.

(ii)       Any transferee of any of the shares of Common Stock owned by the Employee that is covered by this Agreement in a private sale shall be subject to (a) the receipt by the Company of a legal opinion from legal counsel satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the private sale complies with the provisions of the Act; and (b) agreement by the transferee to be bound by the same resale and other conditions as relate to Employee under this Agreement.
