Grantee understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Act, or registered or qualified under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction, and are being sold pursuant to exemptions contained in the Act and exemptions contained in other applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws.  Grantee understands further that the Company’s reliance on these exemptions is based in part on the representations made by Grantee in the Agreement.  In this connection, Grantee represents and warrants that the offer and sale of the Shares were made solely in Massachusetts.

(c)

Grantee is acquiring the Shares for Grantee’s own account for investment, and not for, with a view to, or in connection with the resale or distribution thereof.  Grantee has no present intention to sell, hypothecate, distribute or otherwise transfer the Shares or any portion thereof or any interest therein.

such, the Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or unless an exemption from the registration requirements thereof is available.  

(e)

In connection with Grantee’s acquisition of the Shares, Grantee accepts the condition that the Company may maintain “stop transfer” orders with respect to the Shares and that each certificate or other document evidencing the Shares will bear conspicuous legends in substantially the form set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement.
