Section 2. Appointment
of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company in accordance with the terms
and conditions hereof, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment.


 


Section 3. Global
Warrants.


 


(a) The Warrants shall
be registered securities and shall be evidenced by a global warrant (the “Global Warrants”), in the form of
the Warrant Certificate, which shall be deposited with the Warrant Agent and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee
of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”), or as otherwise directed by the Depositary. Ownership of
beneficial interests in the Warrants shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained
by (i) the Depositary or its nominee for each Global Warrant or (ii) institutions that have accounts with the Depositary (such
institution, with respect to a Warrant in its account, a “Participant”).


 


(b) If the Depositary
subsequently ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the Warrants, the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent
regarding other arrangements for book-entry settlement. In the event that the Warrants are not eligible for, or it is no longer
necessary to have the Warrants available in, book-entry form, the Warrant Agent shall provide written instructions to the Depositary

officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Global Warrant shall cease to be such officer of the Company before countersignature
by the Warrant Agent and issuance and delivery by the Company, such Global Warrant, nevertheless, may be countersigned by the Warrant
Agent, issued and delivered with the same force and effect as though the person who signed such Global Warrant had not ceased to
be such officer of the Company; and any Global Warrant may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual
date of the execution of such Global Warrant, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Global Warrant, although at
the date of the execution of this Warrant Agreement any such person was not such an officer.


 


The Warrant Agent will
keep or cause to be kept, at one of its offices, or at the office of one of its agents, books for registration and transfer of
the Global Warrants issued hereunder. Such books shall show the names and addresses of the respective Holders of the Global Warrant,
the number of warrants evidenced on the face of each of such Global Warrant and the date of each of such Global Warrant. The Warrant
Agent will create a special account for the issuance of Global Warrants.

Section 6. Transfer,
Split Up, Combination and Exchange of Warrant Certificates; Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Warrant Certificates. With
respect to the Global Warrant, subject to the provisions of the Warrant Certificate and the last sentence of this first paragraph
of Section 6 and subject to applicable law, rules or regulations, or any “stop transfer” instructions the Company may
give to the Warrant Agent, at any time after the closing date of the Offering, and at or prior to the Close of Business on the
Termination Date (as such term is defined in the Warrant Certificate), any Global Warrant or Global Warrants may be transferred,
split up, combined or exchanged for another Global Warrant or Global Warrants, entitling the Holder to purchase a like number of
shares of Common Stock as the Global Warrant or Global Warrants surrendered then entitled such Holder to purchase. Any Holder desiring
to transfer, split up, combine or exchange any Global Warrant shall make such request in writing delivered to the Warrant Agent,
and shall surrender the Global Warrant to be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged at the principal office of the Warrant
Agent. Any requested transfer of Warrants, whether in book-entry form or certificate form, shall be accompanied by reasonable evidence
of authority of the party making such request that may be required by the Warrant Agent. Thereupon the Warrant Agent shall, subject
to the last sentence of this first paragraph of Section 6, countersign and deliver to the Person entitled thereto a Global Warrant
or Global Warrants, as the case may be, as so requested. The Company may require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, split up, combination or exchange of
Global Warrants. The Company shall compensate the Warrant Agent per the fee schedule mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto
and provided separately on the date hereof.


 


Upon receipt by the
Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Warrant Certificate,
which evidence shall include an affidavit of loss, or in the case of mutilated certificates, the certificate or portion thereof
remaining, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity in customary form and amount, and satisfaction of any other
reasonable requirements established by Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware, and
reimbursement to the Company and the Warrant Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender to the Warrant
Agent and cancellation of the Warrant Certificate if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of
like tenor to the Warrant Agent for delivery to the Holder in lieu of the Warrant Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated.


 


Section 7. Exercise
of Warrants; Exercise Price; Termination Date.


 


(a) The Warrants
shall be exercisable commencing on the Initial Exercise Date (as such term is defined in the Warrant Certificate). The Warrants
shall cease to be exercisable and shall terminate and become void as set forth in the Warrant Certificate. Subject to the foregoing,
the Holder of a Warrant may exercise the Warrant in whole or in part pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2 of the Warrant
Certificate. Subject to Section 7(b) below, payment of the Exercise Price (as such term is defined in the Warrant Certificate),
may be made, at the option of the Holder, by wire transfer or by certified or official bank check in United States dollars, to
the Warrant Agent at the principal office of the Warrant Agent or to the office of one of its agents as may be designated by the
Warrant Agent from time to time. In the case of the Holder of a Global Warrant, the Holder shall deliver the executed Notice of
Exercise and the payment of the Exercise Price as described herein. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, a holder
whose interest in a Global Warrant is a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant held in book-entry form through the Depositary
(or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions), shall effect exercises by delivering to the Depositary
(or such other clearing corporation, as applicable) the appropriate instruction form for exercise, complying with the procedures
to effect exercise that are required by the Depositary (or such other clearing corporation, as applicable). Delivery of Warrant
Shares (as defined in the Warrant Certificate) shall be made by the Warrant Share Delivery Date (as defined in the Warrant Certificate).
The Company acknowledges that the bank accounts maintained by the Warrant Agent in connection with the services provided under
this Agreement will be in its name and that the Warrant Agent may receive investment earnings in connection with the investment
at Warrant Agent risk and for its benefit of funds held in those accounts from time to time. Neither the Company nor the Holders
will receive interest on any deposits or Exercise Price. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion
guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. The Company hereby acknowledges and
agrees that, with respect to a Holder whose interest in a Global Warrant is a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant held in book-entry
form through the Depositary (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions), upon delivery of irrevocable
instructions to such Holder’s Participant to exercise such Warrants, that solely for purposes of Regulation SHO that such
Holder shall be deemed to have exercised such Warrants.


 




    4


     


    

 


(b) Upon receipt
of a Notice of Exercise for a cashless exercise (as such term is defined in the Warrant Certificate) the Company will promptly
calculate and transmit to the Warrant Agent the number of Warrant Shares issuable in connection with such cashless exercise and
deliver a copy of the Notice of Exercise to the Warrant Agent, which shall issue such number of Warrant Shares in connection with
such cashless exercise.


 


(c) Upon the exercise
of the Warrant Certificate pursuant to the terms of Section 2 of the Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall cause the Warrant
Shares underlying such Warrant Certificate or Global Warrant to be delivered to or upon the order of the Holder of such Warrant
Certificate or Global Warrant, registered in such name or names as may be designated by such Holder, no later than the Warrant
Share Delivery Date (as such term is defined in the Warrant Certificate). If the Company is then a participant in the DWAC system
of the Depositary and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to
or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) the Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, then the certificates for
Warrant Shares shall be transmitted by the Warrant Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s broker with
the Depositary through its DWAC system. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company becomes obligated to pay any amounts to any
Holders pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) or 2(d)(iv) of the Warrant Certificate, such obligation shall be solely that of the Company
and not that of the Warrant Agent. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of a cashless
exercise, if any Holder fails to duly deliver payment to the Warrant Agent of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of
the Warrant Shares to be purchased upon exercise of such Holder’s Warrant as set forth in Section 7(a) hereof by the Warrant
Share Delivery Date, the Warrant Agent will not obligated to deliver such Warrant Shares (via DWAC or otherwise) until following
receipt of such payment, and the applicable Warrant Share Delivery Date shall be deemed extended by one day for each day (or part
thereof) until such payment is delivered to the Warrant Agent.


 


(d) The Warrant Agent
shall deposit all funds received by it in payment of the Exercise Price for all Warrants in the account of the Company maintained
with the Warrant Agent for such purpose (or to such other account as directed by the Company in writing) and shall advise the Company
via email at the end of each day on which notices of exercise are received or funds for the exercise of any Warrant are received
of the amount so deposited to its account.


 


Section 8. Cancellation
and Destruction of Warrant Certificates. All Warrant Certificates surrendered for the purpose of exercise, transfer, split
up, combination or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or to any of its agents, be delivered to the Warrant Agent for
cancellation or in canceled form, or, if surrendered to the Warrant Agent, shall be canceled by it, and no Warrant Certificate
shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall deliver
to the Warrant Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Warrant Agent shall so cancel and retire, any other Warrant Certificate
purchased or acquired by the Company otherwise than upon the exercise thereof. The Warrant Agent shall deliver all canceled Warrant
Certificates to the Company, or shall, at the written request of the Company, destroy such canceled Warrant Certificates, and in
such case shall deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the Company, subject to any applicable law, rule or regulation
requiring the Warrant Agent to retain such canceled certificates.


 


Section 9. Certain
Representations; Reservation and Availability of Shares of Common Stock or Cash.


 


(a) This Agreement
has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof
by the Warrant Agent, constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms, and the Warrants have been duly authorized, executed and issued by the Company and, assuming due authentication
thereof by the Warrant Agent pursuant hereto and payment therefor by the Holders as provided in the Registration Statement, constitute
valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and entitled
to the benefits hereof; in each case except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles (regardless
of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).


 




    5


     


    

 


(b) As of the date
hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i) three hundred million (300,000,000) shares of Common Stock,
of which approximately 32,741,779 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement, and 20,535,713
shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants, and (ii) five million (5,000,000) shares of preferred
stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 1,800 shares of 7.00% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock are issued and
outstanding. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, there are no other outstanding obligations, warrants, options or
other rights to subscribe for or purchase from the Company any class of capital stock of the Company.


 


(c) The Company covenants
and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock or its
authorized and issued shares of Common Stock held in its treasury, free from preemptive rights, the number of shares of Common
Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants.


 


(d) The Warrant Agent
will create a special account for the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants.


 


(e) The Company further
covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and state transfer taxes and charges which may be
payable in respect of the original issuance or delivery of the Warrant Certificates or certificates evidencing Common Stock upon
exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax or governmental charge which may be payable
in respect of any transfer involved in the transfer or delivery of Warrant Certificates or the issuance or delivery of certificates
for Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing Warrants surrendered for exercise
or to issue or deliver any certificate for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any Warrants until any such tax or governmental
charge shall have been paid (any such tax or governmental charge being payable by the Holder of such Warrant Certificate at the
time of surrender) or until it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no such tax or governmental
charge is due.


 


Section 10. Common
Stock Record Date. Each Person in whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued (or to whose broker’s
account is credited shares of Common Stock through the DWAC system) upon the exercise of Warrants shall for all purposes be deemed
to have become the holder of record for the Common Stock represented thereby on, and such certificate shall be dated, the date
on which submission of the Notice of Exercise was made, provided that the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant is duly surrendered
(but only if required herein) and payment of the Exercise Price (and any applicable transfer taxes) is received on or prior to
the Warrant Share Delivery Date; provided, however, that if the date of submission of the Notice of Exercise is a
date upon which the Common Stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become the record
holder of such shares on, and such certificate shall be dated, the next succeeding day on which the Common Stock transfer books
of the Company are open.


 


Section 11. Adjustment
of Exercise Price, Number of Shares of Common Stock or Number of the Company Warrants. The Exercise Price, the number of shares
covered by each Warrant and the number of Warrants outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section
3 of the Warrant Certificate. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 3 of the Warrant
Certificate, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the
Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Warrant
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions
with respect to the shares contained in Section 3 of the Warrant Certificate and the provisions of Sections 7, 11 and 12 of this
Agreement with respect to the shares of Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares. All Warrants originally
issued by the Company subsequent to any adjustment made to the Exercise Price pursuant to the Warrant Certificate shall evidence
the right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable from time to time hereunder
upon exercise of the Warrants, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.


 




    6


     


    

 


Section 12. Certification
of Adjusted Exercise Price or Number of Shares of Common Stock. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted as provided in Section 11 or 13, the Company shall (a) promptly prepare
a certificate setting forth the Exercise Price of each Warrant as so adjusted, and a brief statement of the facts accounting for
such adjustment, (b) promptly file with the Warrant Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Stock a copy of such certificate
and (c) instruct the Warrant Agent to send a brief summary thereof to each Holder of a Warrant Certificate.


 


Section 13. Fractional
Shares of Common Stock.


 


(a) The Company shall
not issue fractions of Warrants or distribute Warrant Certificates which evidence fractional Warrants. Whenever any fractional
Warrant would otherwise be required to be issued or distributed, the actual issuance or distribution shall reflect a rounding of
such fraction to the nearest whole Warrant (rounded down).


 


(b) The Company shall
not issue fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of Warrants or distribute stock certificates which evidence fractional
shares of Common Stock. Whenever any fraction of a share of Common Stock would otherwise be required to be issued or distributed,
the actual issuance or distribution in respect thereof shall be made in accordance with Section 2(d)(v) of the Warrant Certificate.


 


Section 14. Conditions
of the Warrant Agent’s Obligations. The Warrant Agent accepts its obligations herein set forth upon the terms and conditions
hereof, including the following to all of which the Company agrees and to all of which the rights hereunder of the Holders from
time to time of the Warrant Certificates shall be subject:


 


		(a)	Compensation and Indemnification. The Company agrees promptly to pay the Warrant Agent the
compensation detailed on Exhibit 2 hereto for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent and to reimburse the Warrant Agent
for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct
finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the Warrant Agent in connection with the services rendered hereunder by the
Warrant Agent. The Company also agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability
or expense incurred without gross negligence, or willful misconduct on the part of the Warrant Agent, finally adjudicated to have
been directly caused by Warrant Agent hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending against any claim of
such liability.



 


		(b)	Agent for the Company. In acting under this Warrant Agreement and in connection with the
Warrant Certificates, the Warrant Agent is acting solely as agent of the Company and does not assume any obligations or relationship
of agency or trust for or with any of the Holders of Warrant Certificates or beneficial owners of Warrants.



 


		(c)	Counsel. The Warrant Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it, which may include
counsel for the Company, and the written advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect
of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice of such counsel.



 


		(d)	Documents. The Warrant Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect
of any action taken or omitted by it in reliance upon any Warrant Certificate, notice, direction, consent, certificate, affidavit,
statement or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been presented or signed by the proper
parties.



 


		(e)	Certain Transactions. The Warrant Agent, and its officers, directors and employees, may
become the owner of, or acquire any interest in, Warrants, with the same rights that it or they would have if it were not the Warrant
Agent hereunder, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, it or they may engage or be interested in any financial or other
transaction with the Company and may act on, or as depositary, trustee or agent for, any committee or body of Holders of Warrant
Securities or other obligations of the Company as freely as if it were not the Warrant Agent hereunder. Nothing in this Warrant
Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the Warrant Agent from acting as trustee under any indenture to which the Company is a party.



 




    7


     


    

 


		(f)	No Liability for Interest. Unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Warrant Agent shall
have no liability for interest on any monies at any time received by it pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement or
of the Warrant Certificates.



 


		(g)	No Liability for Invalidity. The Warrant Agent shall have no liability with respect to any
invalidity of this Agreement or the Warrant Certificates (except as to the Warrant Agent’s countersignature thereon).



 


		(h)	No Responsibility for Representations. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any
of the recitals or representations herein or in the Warrant Certificate (except as to the Warrant Agent’s countersignature
thereon), all of which are made solely by the Company.



 


		(i)	No Implied Obligations. The Warrant Agent shall be obligated to perform only such duties
as are herein and in the Warrant Certificates specifically set forth and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement or the Warrant Certificates against the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any
action hereunder which may tend to involve it in any expense or liability, the payment of which within a reasonable time is not,
in its reasonable opinion, assured to it. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under any duty or responsibility for the
use by the Company of any of the Warrant Certificates authenticated by the Warrant Agent and delivered by it to the Company pursuant
to this Agreement or for the application by the Company of the proceeds of the Warrant Certificate. The Warrant Agent shall have
no duty or responsibility in case of any default by the Company in the performance of its covenants or agreements contained herein
or in the Warrant Certificates or in the case of the receipt of any written demand from a Holder of a Warrant Certificate with
respect to such default, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any duty or responsibility to initiate or
attempt to initiate any proceedings at law.



 


Section 15. Purchase
or Consolidation or Change of Name of Warrant Agent. Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant
Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which
the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent shall be party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business
of the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent, shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent under this Agreement without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such corporation would
be eligible for appointment as a successor Warrant Agent under the provisions of Section 17. In case at the time such successor
Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned
but not delivered, any such successor Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the predecessor Warrant Agent and deliver
such Warrant Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned,
any successor Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in
the name of the successor Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in
the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.


 


In case at any time
the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but
not delivered, the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver such Warrant Certificates so countersigned;
and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may countersign such
Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have
the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.

Section 16. Duties
of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms
and conditions, by all of which the Company, by its acceptance hereof, shall be bound:


 


(a) The Warrant Agent
may consult with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company (who may be legal counsel for the Company), and the opinion
of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Warrant Agent as to any action taken or omitted
by it in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.


 


(b) Whenever in the
performance of its duties under this Agreement the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be
proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence
in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate
signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Vice President of the Company; and such certificate shall be
full authentication to the Warrant Agent for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement
in reliance upon such certificate.


 


(c) Subject to the
limitation set forth in Section 14, the Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct,
or for a breach by it of this Agreement.


 


(d) The Warrant Agent
shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the Warrant
Certificate (except its countersignature thereof) by the Company or be required to verify the same, but all such statements and
recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only.


 


(e) The Warrant Agent
shall not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except
the due execution hereof by the Warrant Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution of any Warrant Certificate (except its
countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in
this Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate; nor shall it be responsible for the adjustment of the Exercise Price or the making
of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock required under the provisions of Section 11 or 13 or responsible for the
manner, method or amount of any such change or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment
or change (except with respect to the exercise of Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificates after actual notice of any adjustment
of the Exercise Price); nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization
or reservation of any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant Certificate or as to whether
any shares of Common Stock will, when issued, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.


 


(f) Each party hereto
agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all
such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the other party hereto for the carrying
out or performing by any party of the provisions of this Agreement.


 


(g) The Warrant Agent
is hereby authorized to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from the Chief Executive Officer,
Chief Financial Officer or Vice President of the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions in connection
with its duties, and it shall not be liable and shall be indemnified and held harmless for any action taken or suffered to be taken
by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such officer, provided Warrant Agent carries out such instructions without
gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.


 


(h) The Warrant Agent
and any shareholder, director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or other securities
of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or
lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent under this Agreement. Nothing
herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.


 


(i) The Warrant Agent
may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through
its attorney or agents, and the Warrant Agent shall not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct
of any such attorney or agents or for any loss to the Company resulting from any such act, default, neglect or misconduct, provided
reasonable care was exercised in the selection and continued employment thereof.

Section 17. Change
of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon 30 days’ notice
in writing sent to the Company and to each transfer agent of the Common Stock, and to the Holders of the Warrant Certificates.
The Company may remove the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent upon 30 days’ notice in writing, sent to the Warrant
Agent or successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be, and to each transfer agent of the Common Stock, and to the Holders of the
Warrant Certificates. If the Warrant Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company
shall appoint a successor to the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after
such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Warrant
Agent or by the Holder of a Warrant Certificate (who shall, with such notice, submit his Warrant Certificate for inspection by
the Company), then the Holder of any Warrant Certificate may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a new Warrant Agent, provided that, for purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to be the Warrant Agent until a
new warrant agent is appointed. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of a state thereof, in good standing, which is authorized under
such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and which
has at the time of its appointment as Warrant Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. After appointment,
the successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally
named as Warrant Agent without further act or deed; but the predecessor Warrant Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor
Warrant Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or
deed necessary for the purpose. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment, the Company shall file notice thereof
in writing with the predecessor Warrant Agent and each transfer agent of the Common Stock, and mail a notice thereof in writing
to the Holders of the Warrant Certificates. However, failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 17, or any defect
therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of the
successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be.


 


Section 18. Issuance
of New Warrant Certificates. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the Warrants to the contrary, the
Company may, at its option, issue new Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants in such form as may be approved by its Board of
Directors to reflect any adjustment or change in the Exercise Price per share and the number or kind or class of shares of stock
or other securities or property purchasable under the several Warrant Certificates made in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement.


 


Section 19. Notices.
Notices or demands authorized by this Agreement to be given or made (i) by the Warrant Agent or by the Holder of any Warrant Certificate
to or on the Company, (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 17, by the Company or by the Holder of any Warrant Certificate

Section 20. Supplements

any rights or power reserved to or conferred upon the Company in this Agreement, provided that such addition or surrender shall
not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Global Warrants or Warrant Certificates in any material respect.


 


(b) In addition to
the foregoing, with the consent of Holders of Warrants entitled, upon exercise thereof, to receive not less than a majority of
the shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder, the Company and the Warrant Agent may modify this Agreement for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement or modifying
in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Global Warrants; provided, however, that no modification of the terms
(including but not limited to the adjustments described in Section 11) upon which the Warrants are exercisable or the rights of
Holders of Warrants to receive liquidated damages or other payments in cash from the Company or reducing the percentage required
for consent to modification of this Agreement may be made without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Warrant Certificate
affected thereby. As a condition precedent to the Warrant Agent’s execution of any amendment, the Company shall deliver to
the Warrant Agent a certificate from a duly authorized officer of the Company that states that the proposed amendment complies
with the terms of this Section 20.


 


Section 21. Successors.
All covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company or the Warrant Agent shall bind and inure to
the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder.


 


Section 22. Benefits
of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give any Person other than the Company, the Holders of Warrant
Certificates and the Warrant Agent any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be
for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders of the Warrant Certificates. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent any provision of a Warrant Certificate conflicts with any provision of
this Agreement, the provisions of the Warrant Certificate shall govern and be controlling.

be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
