We understand that, on any proposed transfer of any Securities or Underlying Shares, we will be required to furnish to the Company and the trustee for the Securities (the “Trustee”) such certificates, legal opinions and other information as the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer complies with the foregoing restrictions. We further understand that the Securities and Underlying Shares purchased by us will be in certificated form and will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.

Each of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the initial purchaser of the Securities is entitled to rely upon this letter and is irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
