Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will take all such action as may be necessary in order that the Company may duly and validly issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.

7.2 Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will, at all times during the Exercise Period, take such corporate or other requisite action as required in order to have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of Warrant Shares to satisfy the exercise of this Warrant from time to time as these Warrants are presented for exercise in accordance with the terms hereof. If, at any time during the Exercise Period, the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will promptly take such corporate or other requisite action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof and free and clear of preemptive rights.

8. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

8.1 Transfer Restrictions of the Warrant. This Warrant and all rights hereunder may not be transferred by the Holder, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the Company, which written consent may be withheld or given in the Company’s sole discretion; provided, however, no such written consent of the Company shall be required with respect to a transfer of this Warrant by the Holder to an Affiliate thereof, provided however that any such transferee shall enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions set forth in this Warrant. Any purported transfer of this Warrant in violation of this Section 8.1 shall be null and void ab initio, and the Company shall refuse to recognize any such transfer for any purpose and shall not reflect in its records any change in record ownership pursuant to any such transfer.
