2.17. Brokers. No agent, broker, Person, financial advisor or other intermediary that has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof is, or will be,

acknowledgements, covenants and agreements set forth herein on behalf of such account.

transferability, and that the Company will make a notation on its records and give instructions to any registrar or transfer agent of the Shares in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth and described herein.

clauses (y) and (z), as would not have, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the ability of such Investor to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
