The Purchaser also acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register the Issued Preferred Stock or the Shares, except as otherwise contemplated herein. The Purchaser also understands that there is no public market for the Issued Preferred Stock or Shares and that there may never be a public market therefor, and that even if such a market develops, the Purchaser may never be able to sell or dispose of such securities and may thus have to bear the risk of investment in such securities for a substantial period of time or forever.
