standing as a foreign corporation in every jurisdiction in
which it owns or leases real property or in which the nature of

action necessary, to execute, deliver and perform this Warrant,
to grant, issue and deliver this Warrant and to authorize and

payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Warrant,
will be legally and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and will be free of any preemptive rights of
stockholders.
(d) EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. Neither the execution or
delivery of this Warrant nor the consummation of the
transactions herein contemplated does or will result in a
breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which
the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to
which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject,
nor will such action result in any violation of any provision

All Warrant Shares which are issued upon the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant shall, upon issuance and payment of the Exercise
price, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances with respect
to the issue thereof other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring
contemporaneously with such issue. During the period within which this
Warrant may be exercised, the Company shall at all times have authorized and

amending its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, 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, but will at

exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction
thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations
under this Warrant, and (d) not undertake any reverse stock split,
combination, reorganization or other reclassification of its capital stock
which would have the effect of making this Warrant exercisable for less than
one share of Common Stock.

during the period this Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Warrantholder, the continued validity of this
