 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, this Warrant is issued to
[                    ] (together with his, her, or its assigns, the “Holder”) by ODYSSEY MARINE EXPLORATION, INC., a
Nevada corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to Section 2(a)(i)(A) of the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated July [●], 2018, among the Company, the Lender, and certain other investors (the
“Purchase Agreement”). This Warrant is one of a series of Warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase Agreement. 

Section 1. Purchase of Shares. 

(a) Number of Conversion Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and set forth in the Purchase Agreement,
the Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing), to purchase from the Company up to
[                    ] Conversion Shares (as adjusted pursuant to Section 7 hereof). 

(b) Exercise Price. The purchase price for the Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to this Section 1 shall be $12.00 per
share, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7 hereof. Such purchase price, as adjusted from time to time, is herein referred to as the “Exercise Price.” 

Section 2. Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the period
commencing on the date which the Notes are converted into Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 2(b)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement and ending at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on [●], 2021 (the “Exercise Period”). 

Section 3. Method of Exercise. 

(a)    While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the Holder may
exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by: 
  

	 	(i)	the surrender of the Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal office (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the
Holder in writing); and 








	 	(ii)	the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Conversion Shares being purchased. 


(b)    Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on
the day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3(a) above. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate for the Conversion Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided
in Section 3(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Conversion Shares represented by such certificate. 

(c)    As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within twenty
(20) days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct: 

 

	 	(i)	a certificate or certificates for the number of Conversion Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled, and 

  

	 	(ii)	in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Conversion Shares equal to the number of
such Conversion Shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of Conversion Shares purchased by the Holder upon all exercises made in accordance with Section 3(a) above or Section 4 below. 


Section 4. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Conversion Shares. The number and kind of Conversion
Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: 
 (a)
Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time after the issuance but prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its Common Stock, by split-up or
otherwise, or combine its Common Stock, or issue additional shares of its Common Stock as a dividend with respect to any shares of its Common Stock, the number of Conversion Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be
proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price payable per share, but the aggregate Exercise Price
payable for the total number of Conversion Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 4(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or
combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend. 

(b) Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or change in the
capital stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section 4(a) above), then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization or change, lawful provision shall be made,
and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to
that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization or change by a holder of the same number and type of
securities as were purchasable as Conversion Shares by the Holder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization or change. In any such case appropriate 

  
 2 







 
provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities
or property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price per Conversion Share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same. 

(c) Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise
of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and of the number of Conversion Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant. 

Section 5. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall
be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect. 

Section 6. No Stockholder Rights. Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to any
rights of a stockholder with respect to the Conversion Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Conversion Shares, receive dividends or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be notified of stockholder
meetings, and except as otherwise provided in this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, such Holder shall not be entitled to any stockholder notice or other communication concerning the business or affairs of the Company. 

Section 7. Transfer of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and any
other contractual restrictions between the Company and the Holder contained in the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part by the Holder to any person or entity upon written notice to the
Company. Within a reasonable time after the Company’s receipt of an executed Assignment Form in the form attached hereto, the transfer shall be recorded on the books of the Company upon the surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed, to the
Company at its principal offices, and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer. In the event of a partial transfer, the Company shall issue to the new holders one or more appropriate
new warrants. 
 Section 8. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the
State of Florida as applied to agreements among Florida residents, made and to be performed entirely within the State of Florida. 

Section 9. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the holders hereof and their respective successors and assigns. 

Section 10. Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Warrant are used for convenience only and
are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Warrant. 
 Section 11. Notices. All notices and other
communications given or made pursuant hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal
business hours of the recipient, and if not so confirmed, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit
