March-in Rights The Performer agrees that, with respect to any subject invention in which it has retained title, DARPA has the right to require the Performer, an assignee, or exclusive licensee of a subject invention to grant a non-exclusive license to a responsible applicant or applicants, upon terms that are reasonable under the circumstances, and if the Performer, assignee, or exclusive licensee refuses such a request, DARPA has the right to grant such a license itself if DARPA determines that:
1. Such action is necessary because the Performer or assignee has not taken effective steps, consistent with the intent of this Agreement, to achieve practical application of the subject invention;
2. Such action is necessary to alleviate health or safety needs which are not reasonably satisfied by the Performer, assignee, or their licensees;
3. Such action is necessary to meet requirements for public use and such requirements are not reasonably satisfied by the Performer, assignee, or licensees; or
4. Such action is necessary because the agreement required by paragraph (H) of this Article has not been obtained or waived or because a licensee of the exclusive right to use or sell any subject invention in the United States is in breach of such Agreement.

Stock Fully Paid Reservation and Listing of Shares Covenants (a) The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to issuance. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant and, without limiting the foregoing, will take any actions necessary to effectuate the foregoing, including without limitation increasing its authorized capital stock.
(b) If any shares of the Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange by the Issuer.
(c) The Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder hereof against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect in any way the powers, preferences or relative participating, optional or other special rights of the Common Stock or which would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii) not, other than pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated July 18, 2000, between the Issuer and Fleet National Bank, as Rights Agent, issue any Capital Stock of any class which is preferred as to dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Issuer, (iv) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (v) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
(d) The Issuer shall not declare, make or pay any dividend or other distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, other than Common Stock of the same class or series (a "Distribution"), with respect to its Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalent unless the Issuer concurrently makes a cash payment to the Holder of this Warrant equal to the product of (1) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property or securities distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalent computed as provided in subparagraph (i) of Section 5(f) hereof multiplied by (2) the Warrant Share Number.
Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares All Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance pursuant to the terms and conditions herein, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

Non-Transferable The Grantee may not transfer this Option except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Option shall not be otherwise transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or disposed of in any way, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and shall be exercisable during the Grantee's lifetime only by the Grantee or his guardian or legal representative.
