The obligations of and restrictions on the Investor under such “lock-up” letter shall be in effect for a maximum of 180 days as specified by the managing underwriter.

Section 5.6.- Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, Amen and each Investor agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective the Transactions.

Section 5.7.- Public Announcements. The Investors shall not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statements with respect to the existence of this Agreement or the Transactions, and Amen shall issue such press releases or make such public statements as may be required by applicable law or rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Section 5.8.- Restrictive Legends. Each certificate evidencing the Securities shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A SECURITIES PURCHASE AND NOTE AGREEMENT DATED AS OF ________, 2007, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF AMEN AND WILL BE FURNISHED TO THE HOLDER ON REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF AMEN. SUCH AGREEMENT PROVIDES, AMONG OTHER THINGS, FOR CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON SALE, TRANSFER, OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.”

In addition, unless counsel to Amen shall have advised Amen that such legend is no longer needed, each certificate evidencing the Securities shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF

UNLESS THE SAME AR. REGISTERED AN QUALIFIED IN FEDERAL ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE AND SECURITIES LAWS, OR IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO AMEN SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION ARE NOT REQUIRED.”

Section 5.9.- Stockholder Approval.

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that pursuant to rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, the exercise rights of the Investors under the Warrants are subject to a cap on the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise equal to five percent (5%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Closing Date (the “Common Stock Cap”) unless and until the issuance and sale of the Warrants (including the exercise price thereof) and Warrant Shares is approved by the stockholders of Amen under such rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Investors acknowledge and agree (i) to the limitations imposed by the Common Stock Cap as more fully set forth in the Warrant Certificate, (ii) that without Stockholder Approval they will not be able to acquire all of the Warrant Shares, which will adversely effect the value of the Securities they are acquiring hereunder, and (iii) that the Notes are not convertible into any other securities of Amen and do not give the Investors any voting or similar rights.

(b) In addition to the stockholder approval required under Section 5.9(a), the parties further acknowledge and agree that the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market require the approval of the stockholders of Amen with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock to any Inside Investors upon the exercise of any of the Warrants. Accordingly, each of the Inside Investors hereby agrees not to convert or exercise any of the Warrants acquired by such Inside Investor unless and until such issuance is approved by the stockholders of Amen in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Inside Investors acknowledge and agree that if such stockholder approval is not obtained, they will not be entitled to acquire any of the Warrant Shares which will the Securities they are acquiring hereunder. adversely effect the value of

(d) Amen agrees to solicit the Stockholder Approval in connection with its next stockholders meeting, but is under no obligation to hold a special meeting regarding such approval. Each of the Investors hereby agrees to vote any and all securities of the Company owned by such Investor and entitled to vote on the issue in favor of the Stockholder Approval.

Section 5.10.- Negative Covenants. Until full payment and performance of all obligations of Amen under this Agreement and the Notes, Amen will not and will not permit its Subsidiaries to, without a Required Consent:

Mid:010056\000010\578047.9

(a) sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of or transfer any of the Acquisition Properties, except in the normal course of its business and except for sales or dispositions which in the aggregate do not exceed $5,000,000 during any calendar year; or

(b) grant, suffer or permit any contractual or noncontractual lien on or security interest in the Acquisition Properties or fail to promptly pay when due all lawful claims, whether for labor, materials or otherwise.

Securities Purchase and Note Agreement

and the Investors named therein

Amen Properties, Inc.

Risk Factors

Investment in the Securities involves a significant degree of risk, including the possible loss of the entire investment. No guarantee or representation is or can be made as to Amen’s performance. Amen encourages each Investor to seek advice from legal, accounting and financial professionals prior to acquiring the Securities. In considering investing in the Securities, Investors should carefully review and consider the terms of this Agreement, the SEC Filings and the other information provided by Amen, and the investment considerations and risks associated with this investment including, but not limited to, the following (references to “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Amen and its Subsidiaries:

Cap on Exercise

The exercise of the Warrants is subject to a limitation (and a prohibition with respect to Inside Investors) on the number of shares of Common Stock that can be issued without Stockholder Approval under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. If such Stockholder Approval is not obtained, the total number of Warrant Shares that may be issued upon exercise of the Warrants will be limited to no more than five percent (5%) of the number of outstanding share of Common Stock on the Closing Date (or in the case of the Inside Investors, no Warrant Shares can be issued). As a result, without Stockholder Approval the Investors will not be entitled to acquire all of the Warrant Shares, which will adversely effect the value of the Securities acquired by the Investors.

Lack of Operating History

In recent years, Amen has substantially changed its business plan. As a result, Amen’s operating history under its current business plan is limited. In addition, one of Amen’s Subsidiaries is a recent start-up electricity retail business with approximately two years of operating history. Such limited operating history of Amen and its Subsidiaries may not provide sufficient information for Investors to base an evaluation of likely performance.

Risks Related to Projections and Estimates

All statements other than statements of historical facts regarding the financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations of Amen and its

Mid:010056\000010\578047.9

Schedule 4.3(b)

Subsidiaries are projections and estimates based upon information available to Amen at the time, such statements were made, whether in an SEC Filing or in other information provided to you. While we believe that such projections and estimates are based upon reasonable assumptions, there are significant risks and uncertainties that could significantly effect expected results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the projections and estimates include, without limitation, the Risk Factors discussed herein, and many of those factors are beyond our control. All written and oral projections and estimates and “forward looking” statements attributable to Amen, whether contained in the SEC Filings or otherwise, are expressly qualified in their entirety by such factors. Investors should expect the assumptions and related projections and estimates to change as additional information becomes available. However, Amen does not intend to update or otherwise revise the projections and estimates provided to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such information or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. A Investor should carefully review and consider the assumptions and estimates, and obtain the advice of legal and accounting experts and other professionals regarding these matters. Actual results may differ materially from any business descriptions and operating estimates contained in the information provided or available to a Investor.

Volatility Of Oil And Gas Prices

Anticipated results from our oil and gas royalty investments, including the Acquisition Properties, are substantially dependent on prices of oil and gas. Prices for oil and gas are subject to large fluctuations in response to relative minor changes in the supply of, and demand for, oil and gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond our control. These factors include weather conditions, the economy, actions of the government regulation, political stability in the Middle East and elsewhere, the foreign supply of oil and gas, the price of foreign imports and the availability of alternate fuel sources. Any substantial extended decline in the price of oil and gas could have an adverse impact on our revenue generating capability.

Uncertainty Of Estimated Oil and Gas Reserves

Estimates of economically recoverable oil and gas reserves are based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, which are speculative and not under our control. Actual production and reserve data used to value future acquisitions will be estimates only and will be subject to uncertainties. Estimated quantities of oil and natural gas may differ considerably from amounts actually recovered and thus future cash flows could be impaired or accelerated beyond management’s expectations.

Determination of Prices

The purchase price for the Series D Preferred Stock and the exercise price for the Warrants was determined by Amen, based upon, among other things, the short-term capital needs of Amen related to the Acquisition and recent market prices for the Common Stock. However, such prices should not be considered as any indication of the future market price or value of the Common Stock or the other Securities.

Mid:010056\000010\578047.9

S-2

Schedule 4.3(b)

Dependence On Key Personnel

Amen depends to a large extent on the services of its executive officers and the officers and managers of its Subsidiaries. Particularly, Amen’s Subsidiaries, W Power and Light LP and Priority Power Management, Ltd. are both heavily dependent upon the knowledge and expertise of the respective president and senior managers. The loss of the services of any of those persons could have a material adverse effect on Amen and its Subsidiaries.

Competition

Amen and its Subsidiaries encounter substantial competition in acquiring rental property and oil and gas royalties, leasing rental space, and securing trained personnel. Most competitors have substantially larger financial resources, staffs and facilities than Amen and its Subsidiaries, and Amen and its Subsidiaries may be at a significant disadvantage in many competitive situations. See also “Reliance Upon New Business - The Retail Electricity Market is Highly Competitive.

Adverse Market Conditions

The economic performance and value of Amen’s properties are subject to all of the risks associated with owning and operating real estate, including

changes in the national, regional and local economic climate

the attractiveness of our properties to tenants

the ability of tenants to pay rent

competition from other available properties

changes in market rental rates

the need to periodically pay for costs to repair, renovate and re-let space

changes in operating costs, including costs for maintenance, insurance and real estate taxes

changes in laws and governmental regulations, including those governing usage, zoning, the environment and taxes

Failure By Tenants To Make Rental Payments

The performance of Amen’s real estate investments will depend on our ability to collect rent from tenants. At any time our tenants may experience a change in business conditions or a downturn in their business that may significantly weaken their financial condition. As a result, our tenants may delay a number of lease commencements, decline to extend or renew a number of leases upon expiration, fail to make rental payments when due under a number of leases, close a number of offices or declare bankruptcy. Any of these actions could result in the termination of the tenants’ leases and the loss of rental income.

Acquisitions Of Properties May Not Yield Expected Returns

Mid:010056\000010\578047.9

S-3

Schedule 4.3(b)

Newly acquired properties may fail to perform as expected. Management may underestimate the costs necessary to bring acquired properties up to standards established for their intended market position. ‘In addition, we ‘may not achieve expected cost savings and planned operating efficiencies. Acquired properties may not perform as well as we anticipate due to various factors, including changes in macro-economic conditions and the demand for office space or oil and gas royalties. As Amen grows, we have to invest further in overhead to assimilate and manage a portfolio of potentially unrelated properties.

We may face significant competition for acquisitions of properties, which may increase the costs of acquisitions. We may compete for acquisitions of, and investments in, properties with an indeterminate number of investors, including investors with access to significant capital such as domestic and foreign corporations and financial institutions, publicly traded and privately held REITs, private institutional investment funds, investment banking firms, life insurance companies and pension funds. This competition may increase prices for the types of properties in which we invest. In addition, the cost and availability of capital necessary to increase our asset base and revenue generating capability is difficult to predict and in and of itself may be a barrier to pursuing future acquisitions.

Amen’s Asset Investments Are Liquid

Real estate property investments and oil and gas royalties, such as the Acquisition Properties, generally cannot be disposed of quickly. Amen’s recent star-up electricity retail business and newly acquired energy management subsidiary, Priority Power, are illiquid. Therefore, we may not be able to vary our mix of assets or achieve potentially required liquidity in response to economic or other conditions promptly or on favorable terms.

Some Potential Losses May Not Be Covered By Insurance

Amen carries insurance on our properties that we consider appropriate and consistent with industry practices. Though we plan to assure to the best of our ability that policy specifications and insured limits of these policies are adequate and appropriate, there may be however, certain types of losses, including lease and other contract claims, acts of war, acts of terror and acts of God that generally may not be insured. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property. If that happened, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. Though we plan to maintain insurance policies with carriers with sufficient assets and capital to cover all insured perils, there may be however, failures or receiverships of carriers providing insurance to Amen. If this occurs, Amen could be essentially without coverage for perils and losses.

Ability To Service Long-Term Debt

Certain of Amen’s activities are subject to risks normally associated with debt financing. The timing and amount of cash flows could be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest. We may not be able to refinance acquired debt, which in virtually all

Mid:010056\000010\578047.9

S-4

Schedule 4.3(b)

cases requires substantial principal payments at maturity, and, even if we can, refinancing might not be available on favorable terms. If principal payments due at maturity cannot be refinanced, extended or paid with proceeds of other capital transactions, including new equity capital, cash flow may not be sufficient in all years to repay all maturing debt. Prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing, including the possible reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate loans, may result in higher interest rates and increased interest expenses.

Potential Environmental Liabilities

Under various environmental laws, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances, including asbestos-containing materials that are located on or under the property. Specific asbestos remediation has taken place in certain of our rental buildings. Environmental laws often impose liability whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of those substances. In connection with our ownership and operation of properties, we may be liable for these costs, which could be substantial. Also, our ability to arrange for financing secured by that real property might be adversely affected because of the presence of hazardous or toxic substances or the failure to properly remediate any contamination. In addition, we may be subject to claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination at or emanating from our properties.

Non-Compliance With The Americans With Disabilities Act (“ADA”)

Under the ADA, all public accommodations are required to meet certain federal requirements related to physical access and use by disabled persons. While we believe our properties comply in all material respects with these physical requirements or would be eligible for applicable exemptions from material requirements because of adaptive assistance provided, a determination that we are not in compliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. If we were required to make modifications to comply with the ADA, our ability to meet financial obligations could be adversely affected.

Potential Adverse Effects On Our Net Operating Loss (“NOL”)

There are significant limitations of utilization of the NOL under applicable tax law as it relates to a change in ownership among five-percent (5%) owners exceeding fifty percent (50%), and a business continuity test. If we are unable to meet these standards, utilization of the NOL could be limited or reduced to zero.

Availability of Capital Resources

Currently, Amen’s capital resources are expected to be limited to the borrowings under its credit facility with Western National Bank, the net proceeds from the loans pursuant to the Notes and the net income from operations of Amen and its Subsidiaries. In the event our current capital resources are insufficient to fund our operations and capital expenditures, Amen may be forced to seek other sources of financing, including without limitation, incurrence of debt and issuances of additional equity securities. There can be no assurance that such financing will be

Mid:010056\000010\578047.9

S-5

Schedule 4.3(b)

available on terms acceptable to Amen or on any terms. If additional financing is not -available, it will have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Marketability of the Securities

The Securities will not be readily marketable, have not been registered under applicable securities laws and we have no intention to so register those securities. Acquisition, ownership and transfer of the Securities will be restricted in order for Amen to maintain an exemption from registration under applicable state and federal securities laws. There is no public market for the Notes, the Series D Preferred, or the Warrants, and none is expected to develop. An investor must plan to retain the Notes, the Series D Preferred and the Warrants for an indefinite period of time.

The Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market. However, the Warrant Shares have not been registered under applicable securities laws, and therefore will not be transferable when issued unless so registered or pursuant to an exemption from registration. Amen is not obligated to register any of the Securities. In addition, the market in the Common Stock is not actively traded, and the low volume of trading may have a significant effect on the trading price of the Common Stock unrelated to the performance of Amen. Due to the foregoing an investor may not be able to liquidate such shares when he desires to do so, and may be required to retain the investment for an indefinite period of time.

Reliance Upon New and Recently Acquired Businesses

Amen’s recently (2004) formed Subsidiary, W Power and Light, LP, operates in the electricity retail business and Amen’s newly acquired Subsidiary, Priority Power Management, Ltd., operates in the electricity load aggregation, natural gas and electricity procurement, energy risk management and energy consulting markets. In addition to the general risks discussed above, these new businesses are subject to additional risks including those discussed below.

The Retail Electricity Market Is Highly Competitive. The market for retail electricity customers is very competitive. In certain markets, our principal competitors include the local regulated electric utility or its non-regulated affiliate. In other markets, we face competition from independent electric providers, independent power producers and wholesale power providers. In most cases, our competitors have the advantage of long-standing relationships with customers, longer operating histories and/or larger and better capital resources. As a result, it may not be profitable for us to enter into some markets and our ability to increase market share may be hindered.

In general, we compete on the basis of price, our commercial and marketing skills relative to other market participants, service and our financial position. Other factors affecting our competitive position include our ability to obtain electricity for resale and related transportation/transmission services. Since many of our energy customers, suppliers and transporters require financial guarantees and other assurances regarding contract performance, our access to letters of credit, surety bonds and other forms of credit support is another factor affecting our ability to compete in the market.

Mid:010056\000010\578047.9

S-6

Schedule 4.3(b)

Our Business Is Subject to Market Risks. Unlike a traditional regulated electric utility, we are not guaranteed a rate of return on our capital investments. Our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows depend, in large part, upon prevailing market prices for wholesale and resale electricity in our markets and the impact of regulatory decisions on prices charged to our customers. Market prices may fluctuate substantially over relatively short periods of time, potentially adversely affecting our business. Changes in market prices for electricity may result from the following factors among others:

weather conditions;

seasonality;

demand for energy commodities;

general economic conditions;

forced or unscheduled interruptions in electricity available;

disruption of electricity transmission or transportation, infrastructure or other constraints or inefficiencies;

financial position of market participants;

changes in market liquidity;

natural disasters, wars, embargoes, acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events; and

governmental regulation and legislation.

Dependence Upon Third Party Providers. Amen does not own any generating resources to supply electricity for our retail business in this market. As a result, we must purchase all of the generation capacity necessary to supply our retail energy business from third parties. In addition, we depend on power transmission and distribution facilities owned and operated by utilities and others to deliver energy products to our customers. If transmission or distribution is inadequate or disrupted, our ability to sell and deliver our products may be hindered. Any infrastructure failure that interrupts or impairs delivery of electricity could have an adverse effect on our business.

We are dependent on the transmission and distribution utilities for reading our customers’ energy meters. We also rely on the local transmission and distribution utility or, in some cases, the independent system operator, to provide us with our customers’ information regarding energy usage; and we may be limited in our ability to confirm the accuracy of the information. If we receive incorrect or untimely information from the transmission and distribution utilities, we could have difficulty properly billing our customers and collecting amounts owed to us. Failure to receive correct and timely information could have an adverse effect on our business.

Concentration of Credit Risk. Amen’s revenues are derived principally from uncollateralized customer electricity ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and rents from tenants. The concentration of credit risk in a limited number of industries may affect its overall exposure to credit risk because customers and tenants may be similarly affected by changes in economic and other conditions.

Regulation of Electricity Retail Business. Amen’s electricity retail business operates in a regulatory environment that is undergoing significant changes as a result of varying restructuring

Mid:010056\000010\578047.9

S-7

Schedule 4.3(b)

initiatives at both the state and federal levels. We cannot predict the future direction of these initiatives or the ultimate effect that this changing regulatory environment will have on our business. Moreover, existing regulations may be revised or reinterpreted and new laws and regulations may be adopted or become applicable to our facilities or our commercial activities. Such future changes in laws and regulations may have an adverse effect on our business. Regulators, regional transmission organizations and independent system operators have imposed and may continue to impose price limitations, bidding rules and other mechanisms in an attempt to address price volatility and other issues in power markets. If the trend toward competitive restructuring of the power market is reversed, discontinued or delayed, our business growth prospects and financial results could be adversely affected.

Reliance on ERCOT. ERCOT is responsible for handling scheduling and settlement for, all electricity supply volumes in the ERCOT Region. ERCOT plays a vital role in the collection and dissemination of metering data from the transmission and distribution utilities to the retail electric providers. We and other retail electric providers schedule volumes based on forecasts, which are based, in part, on information supplied by ERCOT. To the extent that these amounts are not accurate or timely, we could have incorrectly estimated our scheduled volumes and supply costs.

In the event of a default by a retail electric provider of its payment obligations to ERCOT, the portion of the obligation that is unrecoverable by ERCOT is assumed by the remaining market participants in proportion to each participant’s load ratio share. We would pay a portion of the amount owed to ERCOT should such a default occur if ERCOT is not successful in recovering such amount. The default of a retail electric provider in its obligations to ERCOT could have an adverse effect on our business.

Our Strategic Plans May Not Be Successful. Amen’s retail energy business operates in the deregulated segments of the electric power industry. The successes of our long-term strategic plans are predicated upon the continuation of the trend toward greater competitive markets in this industry. If the trend towards competitive restructuring of the electric power industry is reversed, discontinued or delayed, our business could be adversely affected.

Non-Performance By Counter parties. Our operations are exposed to the risk that counterparties who owe us money or commodities and services will not perform their obligations. When such parties fail to perform their obligations, we might be forced to replace the underlying commitment at then-current market prices. In this event, we could incur reduced operating results or losses.

Energy Aggregation, Supply Procurement, and Consulting Services are Highly Competitive and Relationship Driven. There are many registered and non-registered electricity aggregators in Texas. Priority Power relies primarily on its relationships with various key decision makers within client organizations to assure contract renewals. If new decision makers with relationships external to Priority Power become responsible for consultant selection, Priority Power could lose significant amounts of business. Additionally, competitors with lower fees may lure away clients through lower fee structures, expanded service offerings, or superior supply management capabilities.

S-8

Schedule 4.3(b)

Concentration of Oil and Gas Customers. Priority Power, has a significant concentration of customers within the oil and natural gas industry. If that industry experiences a significant reduction in the domestic price of energy, clients could choose not to renew aggregation and consulting services contracts in a cost-cutting effort.

Contract and Transaction Execution Risk. Priority Power manages large volumes of energy on behalf of its clients. Through miscommunication, incorrect data, and human error, there can be hundreds of thousands of dollars of incremental energy expense incurred by clients. While contractual arrangements may limit the actual monetary liability of Priority Power for such events, the monetary damages can still be significant.

Reduction a/Retail Electric Providers. Priority Power depends largely on its ability to solicit and secure alternative pricing proposals from REPs on behalf of its clients. If REPs choose not to participate in price solicitation, or the number of REPs diminishes such that there are only a few well-known REPs in the market, clients may be less wiling to outsource their energy procurement needs.

Increased Retail Price Transparency. As the marketplace becomes more transparent to all end-use customers, there may be less interest from clients in paying aggregators, brokers, and supply management consultants to solicit pricing on their behalf.

THE FOREGOING SUMMARY OF CERTAIN CONSIDERATIONS AND RISKS DO NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE EXPLANATION OF THE RISKS RELATED TO AN INVESTMENT IN AMEN. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE NOTE AGREEMENT AN THE SEC FILINGS AND OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED BY AMEN BEFORE DETERMINING TO INVEST IN AMEN.

SECTION 4. VOTING RIGHTS.

(a) Each holder of outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to Vote, as a separate class of stock, only on the items specified in this Certificate or by applicable law as requiring the vote or approval of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock, and shall not have the right to vote as to any other matters.

2. No Adjustment of Conversion Prices. No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares shall be made (i) unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 5 ‘below) for an Additional Share of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Company is less than the Purchase Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, the issue of such Additional Shares of Common Stock, or (ii) if prior to such issuance, the Company receives written consent from the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then the issuance outstanding Warrants agreeing that no such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

3. Issue of Securities Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or Rights to Acquire Common Stock, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options, Rights or, in the case of Convertible Securities, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue; provided, however, that Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 5 hereof) of such Additional Shares of Common Stock would be less than the Purchase Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, or such record date, as the case may be, and provided, further, that in any such case:

(A) No further adjustment in the Purchase Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options, Rights or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

(B) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option, Right or Convertible Security, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted immediately to reflect the Purchase Price which would have been in effect had such Option, Right or Convertible Security (to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination) never been issued; and

(C) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Option, Right or Convertible Security, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the anti-dilution provisions thereof, the Purchase Price then in effect shall forthwith be readjusted to such Purchase Price as would have been obtained had the Purchase Price adjustment that was originally made upon the issuance of such Option, Right or Convertible Security which were not exercised or converted prior to such change been made upon the basis of such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise or conversion of any such Option, Right or Convertible Security.

4. Adjustment of Conversion Prices upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. If the Company shall at any time after the Original Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3, but excluding shares issued as a dividend or distribution as provided in Section 7 or

Exhibit "B"

upon a stock split or combination as provided in Section 6); without consideration, or for a consideration per share less than the Purchase Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, or without the requisite consent contemplated by Section 2 hereof, then and in such event, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by a full ratchet anti-dilution adjustment to such lesser price (calculated to the nearest cent), but in no case will the Purchase Price be reduced below $2.80 per share, concurrently with such issuance at a price less than the original Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Purchase Price shall not be reduced if the amount of such reduction would be an amount less than $.20, but any such amount shall be carried forward and reduction with respect thereto made at the time of and together with any subsequent reduction which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $.20 or more.

5. Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Exhibit I, the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

(A) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:

(1) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate of cash received by the Company, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

(2) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board; and

(3) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (1) and (2) above, as determined in good faith by the Board.

(B) Options, Rights and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 3, relating to Options, Rights and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing

(1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue of such Options, Rights or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options, Rights or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by

(2) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein

Mid:010056\000010\578047.9

B-11

Exhibit "B"

for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options, Rights or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

6. Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be ‘proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

7. Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Purchase Price shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance, by multiplying the Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the tie of such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

8. Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time, or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the Holders shall receive upon exercise of the Warrant in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Company that they would have received had the Warrants been exercised into Warrant Shares on the date of such event and had thereafter retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period given application to all adjustments called for during such period, under this paragraph with respect to the rights of the Holders.

9. Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange, or Substitution. If the Warrant Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for above), then and in each such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

10. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate 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 to be observed or performed hereunder by the

Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Exhibit I and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holders against impairment to the extent required hereunder.

11. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Exhibit I, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and shall file a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the; facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based with its corporate records. The Company shall, upon the reasonable written request of any Holder furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a similar certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Purchase Price then in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which then would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant. Despite such adjustment or readjustment, the form of each or all Warrants, if the same shall reflect the initial or any subsequent Purchase Price, need not be changed in order for the adjustments or readjustments to be valid in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant, which shall control.
