advice from Holding that (i) the Deferred Shares and the Shares have not been
                          -
registered under the Securities Act based on an exemption provided under Rule

services of a stock transfer agent, appropriate stop-transfer restrictions will
be issued to such transfer agent with respect to the Shares.

          -----------------------------------------
warrants to the Key Employee that (a) Holding has been duly incorporated and is

withholding tax requirements, including but not limited to income and employment
