5.2. | Restrictions on Transfer. The Buyer understands that: |
5.2.1. | the offer and sale Securities have not been and, other than as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, are not being registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and, consequently, the Buyer may have to bear the risk of owning the Securities for an indefinite period of time because the Securities may not be transferred unless and until (i) the resale of the Securities is registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement; (ii) the Buyer has delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel (in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; or (iii) the Securities are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144; |
5.2.2. | any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and |
