In this connection, AegisUSA represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

 

(i)           Restriction on Transfer.  AegisUSA will not sell or attempt to sell the Shares without registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, unless exemptions from such registration requirements are available and AegisUSA has satisfied AIS that an exemption is available for such sale.  AegisUSA acknowledges AIS shall have the right to bar the transfer of the Shares unless such transfer is permitted under the Securities Act
