Common use of Restrictions Upon Resale Clause in Contracts

Restrictions Upon Resale. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of Option Shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation of applicable Federal or state securities laws or other law or valid regulation. If the Option Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the Participant, as a condition to his exercise of the Option, shall represent to the Company that the Option Shares or other securities which he acquires upon exercise of the Option are being acquired by him for his own account as an investment and not with a present view to distribution or resale (unless counsel for the Company is then of the opinion that such representation is not required under the Securities Act or applicable law, regulation or rule of any governmental agency) and the certificates representing such Option Shares shall bear a legend to such effect. Participant agrees as a condition precedent to exercise of any portion of the Option, that he shall furnish whatever documentation may be reasonably requested by the Company to ensure compliance with applicable law and the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan. The Participant understands and acknowledges that the Company shall have no obligation to register the Option Shares issuable hereunder under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
