2.1 Fully Paid And Nonassessable Nature. All of the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance and receipt of the Exercise Price, therefore, be fully paid and nonassessable, and such Warrant Shares shall be free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

3.2.1 In the case of any: (i) reclassification or change of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination); or (ii) any merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Company is the acquiring and the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant); or (iii) any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall duly execute and deliver to the holder of this Warrant a new Warrant (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the holder of this Warrant).
3.2.2 In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall make appropriate provision without the issuance of a new Warrant, so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, and in lieu of the Warrant Shares of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant: (i) the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger or sale by a holder of the number of Warrant Shares of Common Stock then purchasable under this Warrant, or (ii) in the case of such a merger or sale in which the consideration paid consists all or in part of assets other than securities of the successor or purchasing corporation, at the option of the Holder of this Warrant, the securities of the successor or purchasing corporation having a value at the time of the transaction equivalent to the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of the transaction.

For the term of this Warrant, the Holder shall have registration rights related to the Warrant Shares as set out in Sections 12.1, 12.2, 12.3 and 12.4 below:
12.1 Right To Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities (including any proposed registration of the Company’s securities by any third party) under the Securities Act and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of any of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall give prompt written notice to the Holder of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to the terms of this Section 12, shall include in such registration all Warrant Shares with respect to which the Company has received a written request, within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Company’s notice, for inclusion therein (“Piggyback Registration”).
12.2 Piggyback Expenses. The registration expenses of the Holder shall be paid by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations.
12.3 Priority On Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell; (ii) second, the securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holder, pro rata with all other common stockholders with Piggyback Registration rights on the basis of the number of shares requested to be included therein by each such holder; and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration pro rata among the holders thereof on the basis of the number of shares requested to be included therein.
12.4 Priority On Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s securities and the managing underwriters advise the Company that, in their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such registration; (ii) second, the securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holder, pro rata with all other common stockholders with Piggyback Registration rights on the basis of the number of shares requested to be included therein by each such Holder; and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration pro rata among the holders thereof on the basis of the number of shares requested to be included therein.
| Common Stock Warrent - Page 6 of 9 |
| 13. | MOST FAVORED NATION. |
While this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company sells or issues any warrants or subsequent convertible instruments (“Subsequent Convertible Instruments”) on terms that differ from this Warrant, the Company will provide the Holder with written notice of such sale or issuance, including the terms of the Subsequent Convertible Instruments, no later than five (5) days after the closing date thereof. In the event the Holder determines, in its sole discretion, that any Subsequent Convertible Instrument contains terms more favorable to the holder(s) thereof than the terms set forth in this Warrant the Holder may elect to exchange the Warrant for such Subsequent Convertible Instrument based on the amount of Warrant Shares exercisable under the Warrant, if any, thereunder. If the Holder elects to exchange the Warrant for a Subsequent Convertible Instrument, the Company agrees to enter into a side letter with the Holder relating to such Subsequent Convertible Instrument, which side letter will have substantially the same terms as those set forth in this Agreement.
| 14. | Replacement of Warrants. |
On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.
| 15. | Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company. |
15.1 Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means (a) any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets (including intellectual property) of the Company, or (b) any reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale of the voting securities of the Company or any other transaction where the holders of the Company’s securities before the transaction beneficially own less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction.
15.2 Assumption Of Warrant. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity assumes the obligations of this Warrant, then this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted accordingly so that the aggregate Warrant Price of all Shares is unchanged. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause the surviving corporation to assume the obligations of this Warrant.
15.3 Non-assumption. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity does not assume the obligations of this Warrant and Holder has not otherwise exercised this Warrant in full, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been automatically converted pursuant to Section 14.2 above and thereafter Holder shall participate in the Acquisition on the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company.
| 16. | GOVERNING LAW. |
This Warrant and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the State of Texas or of any other state.
| 17. | UNDERLYING Agreement. |
