SUCH ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE
SKY” LAWS AND AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED.
Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees (i) that a
standard opinion from DLA Piper (the “ DLA Piper

shall be sufficient for purposes of removing the legend set forth
above and (ii) it will cooperate in connection with any and all
