W I T N E S S E T H

 

WHEREAS, the Seller and the Trustee are parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 31, 1994 (hereinafter as such agreement may have been, or may from time to time be, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement");

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller wishes to remove all Receivables from certain designated Accounts of the Seller (the "Removed Accounts") and to cause the Trustee to reconvey the Receivables of such Removed Accounts, whether now existing or hereafter created, from the Trust to the Seller (as each such term is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); and

 

WHEREAS, the Trustee is willing to accept such designation and to reconvey the Receivables in the Removed Accounts subject to the terms and conditions hereof;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Seller and the Trustee hereby agree as follows:

 

1.  Defined Terms.  All terms defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and used herein shall have such defined meanings when used herein, unless otherwise defined herein.

 

"Removal Date" shall mean, with respect to the Removed Accounts designated hereby, October 31, 2005.

 

"Removal Notice Date" shall mean, with respect to the Removed Accounts designated hereby, October 24, 2005 (which shall be a date on or prior to the fifth Business Day prior to the Removal Date).

 

2.  Designation of Removed Accounts.  The Seller shall deliver to the Trustee, not later than five Business Days after the Removal Date, a computer file, microfiche list or hard copy containing a true and complete list of all such Removed Accounts, which computer file, microfiche list or hard copy shall, as of the Removal Date, amend Schedule 1 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

  3.  Conveyance of Receivables.

 

 (a)        The Trustee does hereby transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Seller, without recourse on and after the Removal Date, all right, title and interest of the Trust in and to the Receivables now existing and hereafter created in the Removed Accounts designated hereby, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto (including all Finance Charge Receivables), all proceeds (as defined in Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York) of such Receivables and Insurance Proceeds relating thereto.

 

 (b)        In connection with such transfer, the Trustee authorizes the Seller to file a termination statement with respect to the Receivables now existing and hereafter created in the Removed Accounts designated hereby (which may be a single termination statement with respect to all such Receivables) evidencing the release by the Trust of its lien on the Receivables in the Removed Accounts, and meeting the requirements of applicable state law, in such manner and such jurisdictions as are necessary to remove such lien.

 

  4.  [Reserved].

 

5.          Representations and Warranties of the Seller.  The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Trust as of the Removal Date:

 

 (a)         Legal, Valid and Binding Obligation.  This Reassignment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally or general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought; and 

 

 (b)        Selection Procedures.  No selection procedures believed by the Seller to be materially adverse to the interests of the Investor Certificateholders were utilized in selecting the Removed Accounts designated hereby.

 

6.          Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.  Since the date of transfer by the Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee has not sold, transferred or encumbered any Receivable in any Removed Account or any interest therein.

 

7.          Conditions Precedent.  The amendment of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement set forth in Section 8 hereof is subject to the satisfaction of the condition precedent that the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying that (i) all requirements set forth in Section 2.09 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for designating Removed Accounts and reconveying the Receivables of such Removed Accounts, whether now existing or hereafter created, have been satisfied, and (ii) each of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in Section 5 hereof is true and correct.  The Trustee may conclusively rely on such Officer's Certificate, shall have no duty to make inquiries with regard to the matters set forth therein and shall incur
no liability in so relying.

8.          Amendment of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Pooling and Servicing Agreement is hereby amended to provide that all references therein to the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement," to "this Agreement" and "herein" shall be deemed from and after the Removal Date to be a dual reference to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as supplemented by this Reassignment.  Except as expressly amended hereby, all of the representations, warranties, terms, covenants and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall remain unamended and shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full force and effect in accordance with their terms and except as expressly provided herein shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with or a consent to
non-compliance with any term or provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

9.          Counterparts.  This Reassignment may be executed in two or more counterparts (and by different parties on separate counterparts), each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

    If
      the
      Company elects to exercise its redemption right as set forth in this Section
      3.2, the Company shall redeem the Note at the Accreted Value thereof to, but
      excluding, the Redemption Date, plus the Make-Whole Amount.

     

    For
      purposes of this Article 3, the following defined terms shall have the following
      meanings:

     

    (d) "Make-Whole
      Amount" means the aggregate present value as of the Redemption Date of the
      amount of interest that would have accreted on the Note from the Redemption
      Date
      to, but excluding, the Hard Call Date if such redemption had not been made,
      determined by discounting, on a quarterly basis (assuming a 360-day year of
      twelve 30-day months), such interest at the Reinvestment Rate, determined on
      the
      third business day preceding the date notice of such redemption is given, from
      what the Accreted Value would have been on the Hard Call Date if such redemption
      had not been made, to the Redemption Date; provided, however that the Make-Whole
      Amount shall not be less than $1.00.

     

    (e) "Reinvestment
      Rate" means the yield under the headings "Week Ending" published in the most
      recent Statistical Release under the capital "Treasury Constant Maturities"
      for
      the maturity, rounded to the nearest month, corresponding to the remaining
      period of time through the Hard Call date, as of the Redemption Date;
provided,
      however,
      if
      there is more than one such yield published for such maturity, "Reinvestment
      Rate" means the arithmetic mean of such yields. If no maturity exactly
      corresponds to such period of time, the yields for the two published maturities
      most closely corresponding to such period of time will be calculated pursuant
      to
      the immediately preceding sentence, and the "Reinvestment Rate" will be
      interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding
      in each of the relevant periods to the nearest month. For purposes of
      calculating the "Reinvestment Rate," the most recent Statistical Release
      published prior to the date of determination of the Make-Whole Amount will
      be
      used. 

     

    (f) "Statistical
      Release" means the statistical release designated "H.15(519)" or any successor
      publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve System and which
      establishes yields on actively traded United States government securities
      adjusted to constant maturities or, if such statistical release is not published
      at the time of any determination, then such other reasonably comparable index
      which shall be designated by the Company.

      4. NOTICE
      OF
      REDEMPTION.

     

    Notice
      of
      redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 days but not more
      than
      60 days before the Redemption Date to the Holder at the Holder’s registered
      address. Any notice of redemption shall be unconditional and the Accreted Value
      of the Note, together with any applicable Make-Whole Amount, shall be due on
      the
      date for redemption of the Note specified in such notice of redemption (the
      "Redemption Date").

        OF
        DEFAULT.

    

     

    5.1 If
      any of
      the events specified in this Article 5 shall occur (herein individually referred
      to as an "Event of Default"), the Holder may, so long as such condition exists,
      declare the entire Accreted Value immediately due and payable, by notice in
      writing to the Company:

     

    (a) Default
      in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or any other amounts
      with respect to this Note, in each case, when due and payable; or

     

    (b) The
      institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicat-ed as bankrupt or
      insolvent, or the consent by it to institution of bankrupt-cy or insolvency
      proceedings against it or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent
      seeking reorganization or release under Title 11 of the U.S. Code or any federal
      or state law of any jurisdiction relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, winding
      up,
      liquidation, reorganization or relief of debtors, or any other applicable
      federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition
      or
      the appointment of a receiver, liq-uidator, assignee, trustee or other similar
      official of the Company, or of any substantial part of its property, or the
      making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of
      corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action;
      or

     

    (c) If,
      within sixty (60) days after the commencement of an action against the Company
      (and service of process in connection therewith on the Company) seeking any
      bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar
      relief under any present or future statute, law or regu-lation, such action
      shall not have been resolved in favor of the Company or all orders or
      proceedings thereunder affecting the operations or the business of the Company
      stayed, or if the stay of any such order or proceeding shall thereafter be
      set
      aside, or if, within sixty (60) days after the appointment without the consent
      or acquiescence of the Company of any trustee, receiv-er or liquidator of the
      Company or of all or any substantial part of the properties of the Company,
      such
      appointment shall not have been vacated.

     

    ARTICLE
      6. SUBORDINATION.

     

    6.1 Subordination.
      This
      Note shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article 6; and the Holder
      accepts and agrees that all payments of the principal of, premium, if any,
      and
      interest on (and other obligations, if any, with respect to) this Note by the
      Company shall, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Article 6,
      be
      subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in
      cash
      of all obligations arising under Senior Indebtedness. As used in this Note,
      the
      term "Senior Indebtedness" shall mean all liabilities of the Company which
      would
      appear on a balance sheet of the Company prepared in accordance with generally
      accepted accounting principles.

    6.2 No
      Payment On This Note In Certain Circumstances.
      

     

    (a) No
      direct
      or indirect payment (other than in Junior Securities (as defined herein)) by
      or
      on behalf of the Company of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on (and
      other obligations, if any, with respect to) this Note, whether pursuant to
      the
      terms of this Note, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise, will be made,
      if, at the time of such payment, there exists a default in the payment of all
      or
      any portion of the obligations on any Senior Indebtedness, whether at maturity,
      on account of mandatory redemption or prepayment, acceleration or otherwise,
      and
      such default shall not have been cured or waived in writing or the benefits
      of
      this sentence waived in writing by or on behalf of the holders of such Senior
      Indebtedness. In addition, during the continuance of any non-payment event
      of
      default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the maturity
      thereof may be immediately accelerated by the holder or holders of such Senior
      Indebtedness or may be accelerated by the holder or holders of such Senior
      Indebtedness with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, and
      upon
      receipt by the Company or any trustee of the Company’s Senior Indebtedness (each
      a "Trustee") of written notice (a "Payment Blockage Notice") from the holder
      or
      holders of such Senior Indebtedness or the Trustee or agent acting on behalf
      of
      the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, then, unless and until such event
      of
      default has been cured or waived in writing or has ceased to exist or such
      Senior Indebtedness has been discharged or repaid in full in cash (or such
      payment shall be duly provided for in a manner satisfactory to holders of Senior
      Indebtedness) or otherwise to the extent holders of Senior Indebtedness in
      their
      sole discretion accept satisfaction of amounts due by settlement in other than
      cash or the benefits of these provisions have been waived in writing by the
      holders of such Senior Indebtedness, no direct or indirect payment (other than
      in Junior Securities) will be made by or on behalf of the Company of principal
      of, premium, if any, or interest on (and other obligations, if any, with respect
      to) this Note, whether pursuant to the terms of this Note, upon acceleration,
      redemption or otherwise to such holders during a period (a "Payment Blockage
      Period") commencing on the date of receipt of the Payment Blockage Notice by
      the
      Company and ending 179 days thereafter. The Company shall deliver a copy of
      the
      Payment Blockage Notice to the Holder promptly upon receipt
      thereof.

     

    (b) Notwithstanding
      anything in the subordination provisions of this Note to the contrary, (1)
      in no
      event will a Payment Blockage Period extend beyond 179 days from the date the
      Payment Blockage Notice in respect thereof was given and (2) not more than
      one
      Payment Blockage Period may exist with respect to this Note during any period
      of
      360 consecutive calendar days. No default that existed or was continuing on
      the
      date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice (whether or not such event
      is
      with respect to the same issue of Senior Indebtedness) may be, or be made,
      the
      basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice, unless such default has been
      cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive calendar
      days.

     

    (c) In
      the
      event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by
      the
      Holder at a time when such payment is prohibited by Section 6.2(a), such payment
      shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over
      or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their respective
      representatives, or

      to
        the
        Trustee or Trustees or agent or agents under any indenture or agreement pursuant
        to which any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued or incurred,
        as
        their respective interests may appear, but only to the extent that, upon
        notice
        from the Company to the holders of Senior Indebtedness that such prohibited
        payment has been made, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (or their
        representative or representatives or a Trustee or Trustees) notify the Company
        in writing of the amounts then due and owing on the Senior Indebtedness,
        if any,
        and only the amounts specified in such notice to the Company shall be paid
        to
        the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

    

     

    6.3 Payment
      Over Of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc.

     

    (a) Upon
      any
      payment or distribution of assets or securities of the Company of any kind
      or
      character, whether in cash, property or securities, to the creditors of the
      Company upon any dissolution or winding-up or total liquidation or
      reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in
      bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceedings relating
      to
      the Company, any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshalling
      of
      the Company’s assets and liabilities, the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall
      be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all obligations due in respect
      of such Senior Indebtedness (including interest accruing after, or which would
      accrue but for, the commencement of any proceeding at the rate specified in
      the
      applicable Senior Indebtedness, whether or not a claim for such interest would
      be allowed), or have provision made for such payment in a manner acceptable
      to
      holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before the Holder shall be entitled to
      receive any payment by the Company of the principal of, premium, if any, or
      interest on (and other obligations, if any, with respect to) this Note, or
      any
      payment by the Company to acquire any of this Note for cash, property or
      securities, or any distribution by the Company with respect to this Note of
      any
      cash, property or securities (in each case, other than payments in Junior
      Securities). 

     

    (b) In
      the
      event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provision prohibiting such payment
      or
      distribution, any payment or distribution of assets or securities of the Company
      of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (in each
      case,
      other than Junior Securities), shall be received by the Holder at a time when
      such payment or distribution is prohibited by Section 6.2 and before all
      obligations in respect of Senior Indebtedness are paid in full in cash (or
      such
      payment shall be duly provided for in a manner satisfactory to the holders
      of
      Senior Indebtedness) or otherwise to the extent holders of Senior Indebtedness
      in their sole discretion accept satisfaction of amounts due by settlement in
      other than cash, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in
      trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders
      of
      Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective
      amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders) or their respective
      representatives, or to the Trustee or Trustees or agent or agents under any
      indenture or agreement pursuant to which any of such Senior Indebtedness may
      have been issued or incurred, as their respective interests may appear, for
      application to the payment of Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all
      such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash (or such payment shall
      be
      duly provided for in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior
      Indebtedness) or otherwise to the extent holders of Senior
      Indebtedness

      in
        their
        sole discretion accept satisfaction of amounts due by settlement in other
        than
        cash after giving effect to any prior or concurrent payment, distribution
        or
        provision therefor to or for the holders of such Senior
        Indebtedness.

    

     

    (c) Upon
      the
      payment in full in cash (or such payment shall be duly provided for in a manner
      satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness) or otherwise to the extent
      holders of Senior Indebtedness in their sole discretion accept satisfaction
      of
      amounts due by settlement in other than cash of all Senior Indebtedness, the
      Holder shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness
      to receive payments or distributions of cash, cash equivalents, property or
      securities of the Company made on such Senior Indebtedness until the principal
      of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note shall be paid in full in cash
      or
      this Note is no longer outstanding; and, for the purposes of such subrogation,
      no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of any
      cash, cash equivalents, property or securities to which the Holder would be
      entitled except for the provisions of this Article 6, and no payment pursuant
      to
      the provisions of this Article 6 to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by the
      Holder shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior
      Indebtedness, and the Holder, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or
      on
      account of the Senior Indebtedness. It is understood that the provisions of
      this
      Article 6 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative
      rights of the Holder, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior
      Indebtedness, on the other hand.

     

    (d) If
      any
      payment or distribution to which the Holder would otherwise have been entitled
      but for the provisions of this Article 6 shall have been applied, pursuant
      to
      the provisions of this Article 6, to the payment of all amounts payable under
      Senior Indebtedness, then and in such case, the Holder shall be entitled to
      receive from the holders of such Senior Indebtedness any payments or
      distributions received by such holders of Senior Indebtedness in excess of
      the
      amount required to make payment in full in cash of such Senior Indebtedness
      (or
      to duly provide for such payment in a manner satisfactory to the holders of
      Senior Indebtedness) or otherwise to the extent holders of Senior Indebtedness
      in their sole discretion accept satisfaction of amounts due by settlement in
      other than cash.

     

    6.4 Obligations
      Of Company Unconditional.
      Nothing
      contained in this Article 6 is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company
      and the Holder, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and
      unconditional, to pay to the Holder the principal of, premium on and interest
      on
      this Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with
      their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holder
      and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness,
      nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Holder from exercising all
      remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Note,
      subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 6 of the holders of the Senior
      Indebtedness in respect of cash, cash equivalents, property or securities of
      the
      Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

     

    Without
      limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Article
      6
      shall restrict the right of the Holder to take any action to declare this Note
      to be 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        10

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

      due
        and
        payable prior to their stated maturity pursuant to Section 3.1 or to pursue
        any
        rights or remedies hereunder; provided, however, that all Senior Indebtedness
        then due and payable shall first be paid in full in cash, or have provision
        made
        for such payment in a manner satisfactory to the holders of such Senior
        Indebtedness, before the Holder is entitled to receive any direct or indirect
        payment from the Company of principal of, premium and interest on (and other
        obligations, if any, with respect to) this Note.

    

     

    6.5 Subordination
      Rights Not Impaired By Acts Or Omissions Of The Company Or Holders Of Senior
      Indebtedness.
      No
      right of any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce
      subordination as provided herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced
      or
      impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any
      act
      or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance
      by
      the Company with the terms of this Note, regardless of any knowledge thereof
      which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with. The provisions
      of
      this Article 6 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable
      directly by, the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

     

    6.6 This
      Article Not To Prevent Events Of Default.
      The
      failure to make a payment on account of principal of, or premium, if any, on
      this Note by reason of any provision of this Article 6 shall not be construed
      as
      preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in clause (a) of
      Section 5.1.

     

    6.7 No
      Waiver Of Subordination Provisions.
      Without
      in any way limiting the generality of Section 6.5, the holders of Senior
      Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
      or
      notice to the Holder, without incurring responsibility to the Holder and without
      impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article 6 or the
      obligations hereunder of the Holder to the holders of Senior Indebtedness,
      do
      any one or more of the following: (a) change the manner, place or terms of
      payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew, alter or amend, any Senior
      Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which
      Senior Indebtedness is outstanding or secured; (b) sell, exchange, release
      or
      otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior
      Indebtedness; (c) release any person or entity liable in any manner for the
      collection of Senior Indebtedness; and (d) exercise or refrain from exercising
      any rights against the Company and any other person or entity.

     

    6.8 Acceleration
      of Note.
      If
      payment of this Note is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company
      shall promptly notify holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the
      acceleration.

     

    ARTICLE
      7. PREPAYMENT.

     

    Except
      as
      provided in Article 3, this Note may not be prepaid prior to its stated final
      maturity date, except with the express written consent of the Holder.

    ARTICLE
      8. WAIVER AND AMENDMENT.

    ARTICLE
      9. TRANSFER
      OF THIS NOTE.

     

    9.1 The
      Holder shall not transfer or assign this Note without the prior written consent
      of the Company, which consent may be granted or withheld, conditioned or
      delayed, as the Company may determine in its sole discretion; provided,
      however,
      that
      CII may transfer or assign this Note, in whole but not in part, without the
      prior written consent of the Company to any Related Party; provided, however,
      that the foregoing is not intended to, nor shall it, limit any rights of any
      person pursuant to the Exchange Agreement dated as of November 12, 1999 by
      and
      among CCI, CII, Vulcan Cable III, Inc., and Mr. Allen. 

     

    9.2 So
      long
      as CII/Successor holds the Note, neither Mr. Allen nor any person in Control
      of
      CII/Successor shall transfer Control of CII/Successor without the prior written
      consent of the Company, which consent may be granted or withheld, conditioned
      or
      delayed, as the Company may determine in its sole discretion; provided,
      however,
      that
      Mr. Allen and any person in Control of CII/Successor may transfer Control of
      CII/Successor without the prior written consent of the Company to any Related
      Party. 

     

    For
      purposes of this Article 9, the following defined terms shall have the following
      meanings:

     

    (a) "CII/Successor"
      means CII and any entity that succeeds to all or any portion of CII’s interest
      in the Note. 

     

    (b) "Control,"
      as used with respect to any entity, shall mean the possession, directly or
      indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management
      and
      policies of such entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities
      or
      by contract or otherwise.

     

    9.3 With
      respect to any direct or indirect transfer or assignment of this Note that
      is
      permitted under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, the Holder will give written notice
      to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together,
      if required by the Company, with a written opinion of such Holder’s counsel, to
      the effect that such offer, sale or other distribution may be effected without
      registration or qualification (under any federal or state law then in effect).
      Promptly upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion,
      if so requested, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify such
      Holder that such Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Note, all in
      accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a
      determination has been made pursuant to this Article 9 that the opinion of
      counsel for the Holder is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the
      Company shall so notify the Holder promptly after such determination has been
      made. The Note thus transferred shall

      bear
        a
        legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure
        compliance with the Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company
        such
        legend is not required. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions
        to its
        transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.
