Fifty percent (50%) of this Warrant shall have an exercise price equal to ten cents ($.10) per share of Common Stock (the "Ten Cent Warrants") and the remaining fifty percent (50%) shall have an exercise price equal to seventy-five cents ($.75) per share of Common Stock (the "Seventy-Five Cent Warrants"); provided that if the Company does not pay down One Million Three Hundred Fifty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars and 0/100 ($1,357,500.00) of the outstanding aggregate face principal amount under that certain Master Secured Promissory Note of even date herewith, then the exercise price for the Seventy Five Cent Warrants shall be reduced to twenty cents ($.20) per share of Common Stock (the "Twenty Cent Warrants").

Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in this Warrant shall have the meaning as set forth in the Memorandum. The exercise price for the Ten Cent Warrants, the Seventy Five Cent Warrants or the Twenty Cent Warrants is subject to adjustment as set forth herein.

The shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such exercise, and as adjusted from time to time, are hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Warrant Shares" and the exercise price of a share of Common Stock in effect at any time and as adjusted from time to time is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Exercise Price".
 
(a) EXERCISE OF WARRANT
 
(1) This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period; provided, however, that if such day is a day on which banking institutions in the State of Texas are authorized by law to close, then on the next succeeding day which shall not be such a day. This Warrant may be exercised by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company at its principal office with the Purchase Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in such form. As soon as practicable after each such exercise of the warrants, but not later than three (3) business days following the receipt of good and available funds, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable thereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its office in proper form for exercise accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in such form (unless exercised in accordance with Section (a)(2) hereof in which case upon notice of such exercise), the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such shares of Common St ock shall not then be physically delivered to the Holder.
 
(2) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, if the resale of the Warrant Shares by the holder is not registered within year from the date of the closing of the Minimum Offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, this Warrant may be exercised by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal executive offices with a written notice of the holder's intention to effect a cashless exercise, including a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise in accordance with the terms hereof (a "Cashless Exercise"). In the event of a Cashless Exercise, in lieu of paying the Exercise Price in cash, the holder shall surrender this Warrant for that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares to which it would otherwise be entitled by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between the then current market price (calculated in accordance with Section (c) below) per share of the Common Stock and the Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be the then current market price (calculated in accordance with Section (c) below) per share of Common Stock.

(b) REDEMPTION OF WARRANT
 
(1) The Ten Cent Warrants, the Seventy Five Cent Warrants and the Twenty Cent Warrants may each be redeemed, at the option of the Company, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, upon the notice referred to in Section (b)(2), at the price of $.001 per Warrant Share ("Redemption Price"), provided that the last sales price of the Common Stock has been at least $1.50, $4.00 and $2.50, respectively, per share, on each of twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given ("Measurement Period"); provided further that there is a daily average trading volume of ten thousand (10,000) shares during the Measurement Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not exercise its redemption rights unless during the Measurement Period and from the end of the Measurement Period through the redemption date, the Company has an effective registration statement with a current prospectus on file with the SEC pursuant to which the Warrant Shares may be sold.
 
(2) In the event the Company shall elect to redeem any of the Warrant, the Company shall fix a date for the redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holder at their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books.
 
(3)      The Warrant may be exercised in accordance with Section (a) at any time after notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company pursuant to Section (b)(2) hereof and prior to the time and date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, the Holder shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the Warrant, the Redemption Price.
 
(c) FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares or script representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the current market value of a share, determined as follows:
 
(1) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange or listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the current market value shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange or market on the last business day prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or if no such sale is made on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange or market; or
 
(2) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, but is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the current market value shall be the average of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such market and if the Common Stock is not so traded, the current market value shall be the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices reported by the NASD Electronic Bulletin Board on the last business day prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant; or
 
 
3

 
(3)      If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current market value shall be an amount, not less than book value thereof as at the end of the most recent fiscal year of the Company ending prior to the date of the exercise of the Warrant, determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
(d) EXCHANGE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR LOSS OF WARRANT. This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, for other warrants of different denominations entitling the holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form annexe d hereto duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other warrants which carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the principal office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof. The term "Warrant" as used herein includes any Warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will execute and deliv er a new Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Warrant executed and delivered shall constitute an additional contractual obligation on the part of the Company, whether or not this Warrant so lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
 
(e) RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in the Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
 
(f) ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. Subject to the provisions of Section 1 hereof, the Exercise Price in effect at any time and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
 
(1) In case the Company shall hereafter (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action, and the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstan ding immediately prior to such action with an appropriate adjustment in the number of shares purchasable hereunder. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
 
 
4

 
 
(2) Subject to the provisions of Subsection (4) below, in case the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price (the "Subscription Price") (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Exercise Price on such record date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the Subscription Price.
 
(3) In case the Company shall hereafter distribute to the holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions and dividends or distributions referred to in Subsection (1) above) or subscription rights or warrants (excluding those referred to in Subsection (2) above), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect thereafter shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the current market price per share of Common Stock (as defined in Subsection (5) above), less the fair mark et value (as determined by a third-party valuation) of said assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such rights or warrants, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by such current market price per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.
 
(4) Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Subsections (1), (2), or (3) above, the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall simultaneously be adjusted by multiplying the number of Shares initially issuable upon exercise of this Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect on the date hereof and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted.
 
(5) For the purpose of any computation under Subsection (3) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock at any date shall be determined in the manner set forth in Section (c) hereof except that the current market price per share shall be deemed to be the higher of (i) the average of the prices for 30 consecutive business days before such date or (ii) the price on the business day immediately preceding such date.
 
(6) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least five cents ($0.05) in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Subsection (6) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment required to be made hereunder. All calculations under this Section (f) shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this Section (f) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but shall not be required, to make such changes in the Exercise Price, in addition to those required by this Section (f), as it shall determine, in its sole discretion, to be advisable in order that any dividend or distribution in shares of Common Stock, or any subdivision, reclassification or combination of Common Stock, hereafter made by the Company shall not result in any Federal Income tax liability to the holders of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock (including Warrants); provided such changes will not adversely effect the Holder.

(7) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly but no later than 10 days after any request for such an adjustment by the Holder, cause a notice setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number of Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant, and, if requested, information describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments, to be mailed to the Holders at their last addresses appearing in the Warrant Register, and shall cause a certified copy thereof to be mailed to its transfer agent, if any. The Company may retain a firm of independent certified public accountants selected by the Board of Directors (who may be the regular accou ntants employed by the Company) to make any computation required by this Section (f), and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
 
(8) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Subsection (1) above, the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Company, other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in this Section (f).
 
(9) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in the similar Warrants initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement.
 
(g)  OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as required by the provisions of the foregoing Section, the Company shall forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its principal office and with its stock transfer agent, if any, an officer's certificate showing the adjusted Exercise Price determined as herein provided, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment, including a statement of the number of additional shares of Common Stock, if any, and such other facts as shall be necessary to show the reason for and the manner of computing such adjustment. Each such officer's certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by the holder or any holder of a Warrant executed and delivered pursuant to Section (a) and the Company shall, forthwith after each such adjustment, mail a copy by certified mail of such certificate to the Holder or any such holder.
 
(h)  NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS. So long as this Warrant shall be outstanding, (i) if the Company shall pay any dividend or make any distribution upon the Common Stock or (ii) if the Company shall offer to the holders of Common Stock for subscription or purchase by them any share of any class or any other rights or (iii) if any capital reorganization of the Company, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to another corporation, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be effected, then in any such case, the Company shall cause to be mailed by certified mail to the Holder, at least fifteen days prior the date specified in (x) or (y) below, as the case may be, a notice containing a brief description of the proposed action and stating the date on which (x) a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or (y) such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock or other securities shall receive cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

(i) RECLASSIFICATION, REORGANIZATION OR MERGER. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with a subsidiary in which merger the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) or in case of any sale, lease or conveyance to another corporation of all or substantially all of the property of the Company, the Company shall, as a condition pre cedent to such transaction, cause effective provisions to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter by exercising this Warrant at any time prior to the expiration of the Warrant, to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization and other change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which might have been purchased upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. The foregoing provisions of this Section (i) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. In the event that in connection with any such capital reorganization or reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, additional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in exchange, conversion, substitution or payment, in whole or in part, for a security of the Company other than Common Stock, any such issue shall be treated as an issue of Common Stock covered by the provisions of Subsection (1) of Section (f) hereof.
 
(i)       REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
(1) The Company hereby agrees with the holders of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares or their transferees (collectively, the "Holders") that upon notice by either Dawson James Securities, Inc. or Holders beneficially owning at least 50% of the aggregate of the Warrant Shares, it will, within three weeks of such notice prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") a registration statement under the Act covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter; provided that such notice may not be deliver ed on or before April 1, 2009. In addition, if prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall determine to proceed with the preparation and filing of a registration statement under the Act in connection with the proposed offer and sale of any of its securities by it or any of its security holders (other than a registration statement on Form S-4, S-8 or other limited purpose form), then the Company will give written notice of its determination to all record holders of the Warrants and Warrant Shares. Upon the written request from any Holder, the Company will, except as herein provided, cause all such Warrant Shares to be included in such registration statement, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the prospective seller or sellers of the Warrant Shares to be so registered; provided, further, that nothing herein shall prevent the Company from, at any time, abandoning or delaying any registrati on. If any registration pursuant to this Section j(l) shall be underwritten in whole or in part, the Company may require that the Warrant Shares requested for inclusion by the Holders be included in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold through the underwriters.

(2)      The Company will, until such time as the Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144(k):
 
(A) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments to such registration statement and supplements to the prospectus contained therein as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective;
 
(B) furnish to the Holders participating in such registration and to the underwriters of the securities being registered such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as such underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering of such securities:

(D) notify the Holders, promptly after it shall receive notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has become effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed;

(F) prepare and file with the SEC, promptly upon the request of any Holders, any amendments or supplements to such registration statement or prospectus which, in the opinion of counsel for such Holders (and concurred in by counsel for the Company), is required under the Act or the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the distribution of Common Stock by such Holders;
 
(G) prepare and promptly file with the SEC and promptly notify such Holders of the filing of such amendment or supplement to such registration statement or prospectus as may be necessary to correct any statements or omissions if at the time when a prospectus relating to such securities is required to be delivered under the Act, any event shall have occurred as the result of which any such prospectus or any other prospectus as then in effect would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; and

(H) advise the Holders, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and promptly use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued.
 
The Company may require each Holder of Warrant Shares as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding the distribution of such Warrant Shares as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

(3) All fees, costs and expenses of and incidental to such registration, inclusion and public offering in connection therewith shall be borne by the Company, provided, however, that the Holders shall bear their pro rata share of the underwriting discount and commissions and transfer taxes. The fees, costs and expenses of registration to be borne by the Company as provided above shall include, without limitation, all registration, filing, and NASD fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for the Company, and all legal fees and disbursements and other expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdictions in which the securities to be o ffered are to be registered and qualified (except as provided above), and, in the case of a registration, fees of one (1) counsel for the Holders of the Warrant Shares.
 
(4) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Warrant Shares which are included in a registration statement pursuant to the provisions of Section (j)(l) hereof, its directors and officers, and any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Act, from and against, and will reimburse such Holder and each such underwriter and controlling person with respect to, any and all loss, damage, liability, cost and expense to which such Holder or any such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration statement, any prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, damage, liability, cost or expenses arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Holder, such underwriter or such controlling person in writing specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
 
(5) Each Holder of Warrant Shares included in a registration pursuant to the provisions of Section (j)(1) hereof will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, any controlling person and any underwriter from and against, and will reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, any controlling person and any underwriter with respect to, any and all loss, damage, liability, cost or expense to which the Company or any controlling person and/or any underwriter may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration statement, any prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was so made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

(6) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of Sections (j)(4) or (5) of notice of the commencement of any action involving the subject matter of the foregoing indemnity provisions such indemnified party will, if a claim thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions of said Sections (j)(4) or (5), promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than hereunder. In case such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and. to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, provided, however, if counsel for the indemnifying party concludes that a single counsel cannot under applicable legal and ethical considerations, represent both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, the indemnified party or parties have the right to select separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of s aid Sections (j)(4) or (5) for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed counsel in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after the notice of the commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party.
 
(7) If the Company fails to carry out its obligations under this Section (j), the Holder shall be entitled to tender this warrant for a sum equal to the number of Warrant Shares multiplied by the current market thereof less the Exercise Price thereof and a person who has exercised this Warrant shall be entitled to tender the Common Stock thereby purchased for the current market value, and in each case to be paid therefor in 10 business days thereafter.
 
(k) NONCIRCUMVENTION; RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of this Warrant is outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of this Warrant then outstanding.
