      Stock under the Securities Act and all applicable State Securities Laws or
      in a transaction which is exempt from the registration provisions of the
      Securities Act and all applicable State Securities Laws; and (B) that the
      Company and any transfer agent for the Common Stock shall not be required
      to give effect to any purported transfer of any of the Common Stock except
      upon compliance with the foregoing provisions.
