 4.    Representations and Warranties of Holder. Holder represents
and warrants to the Company as of the date hereof, and as of the date of issuance of the Warrant, as follows: 

(a)    Purchase for Own Account. The applicable Securities are being acquired for investment for Holder’s
account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Holder also represents that it has not been
formed for the specific purpose of acquiring any of the Securities. 
 (b)    Disclosure of Information. Holder
is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has received or has had access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the
applicable Securities. Holder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the applicable Securities and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company
possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to Holder or to which Holder has access. 

(c)    Investment Experience. Holder understands that the purchase of the Securities involves substantial risk.
Holder has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that Holder can bear the economic risk of such Holder’s investment in the Securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or
business matters that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the applicable Securities and/or has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or
controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons. 

(d)    Accredited Investor Status. Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act. 
 (e)    The Securities Act. Holder understands that the applicable
Securities will not be registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein. Holder
understands any Securities issued must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless exemption from such registration and qualification are otherwise
available. 
 5.    Restrictive Legends. 

(a)    Legend. Holder understands that any certificates representing the Securities shall be stamped
or imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the following (in addition to any other legend required by applicable law): 
 [THIS
WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER AND ANY SHARES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION THEREOF][THESE SECURITIES] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS
OF ANY STATE AND[, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.2 BELOW,] MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SAID ACT AND LAWS OR, IN THE OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO
THE ISSUER, SUCH OFFER, SALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.

 (b)    Instructions Regarding Transfer Restrictions.
Holder consents to the Company making a notation on its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent, if applicable, in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in Section 5(a) of this
Agreement. 
 (c)    Removal of Legend. The legend identified in Section 5(a) of
this Agreement stamped or imprinted on any certificate evidencing any Securities and any stock transfer instructions and record notations with respect to such Securities, if applicable, shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate
without such legend to the holder of such Securities if (i) such Securities are registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect
that a sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration or qualification. The Company agrees that it shall not require an opinion of counsel if (x) there is no material question as to the availability of Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act or (y) the transfer is to an Affiliate of Holder, provided that any such transferee is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. 

6.    Transfer of the Securities. 

(a)    Compliance with Securities Laws on Transfer. The Securities may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in
part except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee. 

(b)    Transfer Procedure. The Warrant shall not be transferable without the prior written consent of the Company,
except that Holder may transfer the Warrant to any Affiliate of Holder without the Company’s prior written consent. Subject to the foregoing sentence, with respect to any proposed offer, sale or other disposition of the Warrant to a non-Affiliate of Holder, Holder will give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, including the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee. 

7.    General Provisions. 

(a)    Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibit) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties
