Expiration Date, the Holder of this Warrant may from time to time exercise this Warrant, on any Business Day, for all or any part of the number of shares of Warrant Stock (subject to adjustment as provided herein) purchasable hereunder. In order to
exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Holder shall (i) deliver to the Company at its Designated Office a written notice of the Holders election to exercise this Warrant (an Exercise



6



---

Notice) substantially in the form attached to this Warrant as Annex A, which Exercise Notice shall be
irrevocable and specify the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased, together with this Warrant and (ii) pay to the Company the Warrant Price. The date on which such delivery and payment shall have taken place being hereinafter
sometimes referred to as the Exercise Date.

(b) Upon receipt by the Company of such Exercise Notice, surrender of this
Warrant and payment of the Warrant Price (in accordance with Section 2.1(c) hereof), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, execute (or cause to be executed) and deliver
(or cause to be delivered) to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as hereafter provided. The stock certificate or
certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the exercising Holder shall reasonably request in the Exercise Notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to compliance
with Section 3.3 below, such other name as shall be designated in the Exercise Notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates of Warrant Stock shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder
or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares of Warrant Stock for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.

(c) Payment of the Warrant Price shall be made at the option of the Holder by one or more of the following methods: (i) by delivery of a certified
or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amount of such Warrant Price payable to the order of the Company, (ii) if the Fair Market Value is greater than the Exercise Price, by instructing the Company to
withhold a number of shares of Warrant Stock then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such Warrant Price, (iii) by surrendering to the Company shares of Common Stock previously acquired by the
Holder with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such Warrant Price, or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. In the event of any withholding of Warrant Stock or surrender of Common Stock pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or
(iv) above where the number of shares whose Fair Market Value is equal to the Warrant Price is not a whole number, the number of shares withheld by or surrendered to the Company shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and the Company
shall make a cash payment to the Holder based on the incremental fraction of a share being so withheld by or surrendered to the Company in an amount determined in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof. The Holder may, at its sole election, pay an
amount per Warrant Share equal to the par value, or such other amount as is necessary to have fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company, provided that any such election by a Holder shall not relieve the Company of any liability or
obligation it may have under this Warrant.

delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Warrant Stock being issued, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased shares of Warrant Stock called for by this

connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issue or delivery thereof unless such tax or charge is imposed by law upon the Holder. The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or
governmental charge which may be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Warrant Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the Warrants to be exercised, and no
such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid..

2.3 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional share of Warrant Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share that the Holder of one or more Warrants, the rights under which are exercised in the same transaction, would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash equal to
such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date.

3. TRANSFER, DIVISION AND COMBINATION

3.1 Compliance with Securities Act. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees and, represents that it will comply in all respects
with the provisions of this Section 3.1 and further agrees and represents that this Warrant and the Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired for investment for its own account and that such Holder will not offer, sell
or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act nor applicable state securities laws. This Warrant and all shares of
Warrant Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (INCLUDING ANY SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE) HAVE

In addition, in connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the Holder specifically represents to the Company by
acceptance of this Warrant as follows:

(a) The Holder represents that it has received all the information it considers necessary or
appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Warrant and the Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof. The Holder further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms
and conditions of the offering of the Warrant and the Warrant Stock and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in
this Warrant or the right of the Holder to rely thereon.

(b) The Holder understands that the securities it is purchasing are characterized
as restricted securities under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be
resold without registration under the Securities Act, only in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Holder represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and
by the Securities Act.

(c) The Holder is an investor that can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and
experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Stock. The Holder also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the
Warrant and the Warrant Stock.

3.2 Transfer. No transfer (other than any transfer to any Affiliate of any Holder) of any Warrant
shall be permitted unless such transfer is of a Warrant representing the right to acquire Warrant Stock attributable to at least 25.0% of the Warrant Stock subject to the Original Warrants. Each new certificate evidencing the Warrant and/or Warrant
Stock so transferred shall bear the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Section 3.1 hereof, except that such certificate shall not bear such restrictive legend, if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such legend is not required
in order to establish or assist in compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. Upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.2, each transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in
whole or in part, shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the Designated Office and compliance with the terms hereof, together with a written assignment of this Warrant in
the form of Annex B hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes described in Section 2.2 in connection with the making of such transfer. Upon such compliance, surrender and delivery
and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new
Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.

3.3 Mutilation or
Loss. Upon receipt by the Company from any Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company (it being understood that
the written indemnification agreement and an affidavit of loss of the Holder reasonably acceptable to the Company shall be a sufficient indemnity and no posting of a surety bond will



9



---

be required) and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will execute and deliver in
lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor to such Holder; provided, however, that, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

3.4 Division and Combination. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant, this Warrant may be divided or combined with
other like Warrants upon presentation hereof at the Designated Office, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance
with the applicable provisions of this Warrant as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or
combined in accordance with such notice.

3.5 Expenses. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense any new
Warrant or Warrants required to be issued hereunder.

decreased by a combination or reverse stock split of the Outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date to determine shares affected by such combination or reverse stock split, the
Exercise Price shall be appropriately increased by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding immediately prior to such decrease and the denominator of which is the number
of shares of Common Stock Outstanding immediately after such decrease in Outstanding shares.

4.6 Upon Reclassifications,
Reorganizations, Consolidations, Mergers or Dispositions of Assets. In the event of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value
or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (where the Company is not the surviving Person or where
there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock) or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Companys property, assets or business to another corporation, each Warrant shall after such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or disposition of assets be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such consolidation or
surviving such merger, if any, to which the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable (immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger) upon exercise of such Warrant would have been
entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or disposition of assets. The provisions of this clause shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers or dispositions of
assets. The Company shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or disposition of assets unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or disposition of assets, shall assume, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the Holders of the Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets, which, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions, such Holders shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.6 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers or dispositions
of assets.

4.7 Deferral in Certain Circumstances. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 4
shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date of an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (a) issuing to the Holder of any Warrant exercised after such record date and before
the occurrence of such event the shares of capital stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event and issuing to such Holder only the shares of capital stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to
such adjustments, and (b) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of a fractional share of capital stock pursuant to Section 2.3 above; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such Holder an appropriate
instrument or due bills evidencing such Holders right to receive such additional shares or such cash.

4.8 Reserved.

4.9 Voluntary Reduction. The Company from time to time may reduce the Exercise Price by any amount for any period of time if the
period is at least 20 days and if the reduction is irrevocable during the period; provided, however, that in no event may the Exercise Price be less than the par value of a share of Common Stock. Whenever the Exercise Price is reduced,
the Company shall mail to all Holders a notice of the reduction. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before the date the reduced Exercise Price takes effect. The notice shall state the reduced Exercise Price and the period it will be
in effect.

4.10 Appraisal Procedure. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 4 shall necessitate that the
Appraisal Procedure be utilized for purposes of determining an adjustment to the Exercise Price, the Company may defer until the completion of the Appraisal Procedure and the determination of the adjustment (1) issuing to the Holder of any
Warrant exercised after the date of the event that requires the adjustment and before completion of the Appraisal Procedure and the determination of the adjustment, the shares of capital stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment
required by such event and issuing to such Holder only the shares of capital stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment and (2) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of a fractional share of capital
stock pursuant to Section 2.3 above; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such Holder an appropriate instrument or due bills evidencing such Holders right to receive such additional shares or such cash.

4.11 Adjustment of Number of Shares Purchasable. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price as provided in Section 4.2, 4.4,
4.5 and 4.6, the Holders of the Warrants shall thereafter be entitled to purchase upon the exercise thereof, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Warrant Stock (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share)
obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable on the exercise hereof immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise
Price resulting from such adjustment.

4.12 Increase of Number of Shares Purchasable. After giving effect to all other provisions in
this Article 4, the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased when the Exercise Price is adjusted to an amount below the then existing par value of the Warrant Shares, including successive adjustments to the
Exercise Price to an amount



14



---

further below the then existing par value. The number of additional shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be equal to number obtained by dividing the result of subsection (i) by the result of subsection (ii):

(i) The
number of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants before application of this Section 4.12 times the difference between the then existing par value per Warrant Share minus the adjusted Exercise Price.

(ii) The difference between the Fair Market Value of the Companys Common Stock on the Exercise Date minus the then existing par
value per Warrant Share.

4.13 Form of Warrants. Irrespective of any adjustments of the number of shares purchasable or of the
Exercise Price, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in the Warrants initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement.

4.14 Changes in Securities. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 4 to the contrary and without limitation to any other provision
contained in this Section 4, in the event any securities of the Company are amended, modified or otherwise altered by operation of its terms or otherwise in any manner whatsoever (including through the anti-dilution provisions thereof) that
results in (i) the reduction of the effective exercise, conversion or exchange price of such securities payable upon the exercise for, or conversion or exchange into, Common Stock or other securities exercisable for, or convertible or
exchangeable into, Common Stock and/or (ii) such securities becoming exercisable for, or convertible or exchange into (A) more shares or dollar amount of such securities which are, in turn exercisable for, or convertible or exchangeable
into, Common Stock, or (B) more shares of Common Stock, then such amendment, modification or other alteration shall be treated for purposes of Section 4 as if the securities which have been amended, modified or altered had never been
issued and new securities have been issued with the amended or modified terms. The Company shall make all necessary adjustments (including successive adjustments if required) to the Exercise Price in accordance with Section 4, but in no event
shall the Exercise Price be greater than it was immediately prior to the application of this Section 4.14 to the amendment, modification or alteration in question.

4.15 Maximum Exercise Price. Except as provided in Section 4.5 above, at no time shall the Exercise Price per share of Common Stock exceed the amount set forth in the first paragraph of the preamble of
this Warrant.

4.16 Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Section 4 shall not apply to (i) the exercise of
Rights to acquire up to 8,703,273 shares of Common Stock as disclosed on Schedule 3.1(c) to the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the issuance and exercise of Rights to acquire up to 2,431,484 shares of Common Stock to be granted pursuant to the 2000
Plan, (iii) issuance and exercise of Rights to acquire up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock that may be granted (in addition to those made pursuant to the 2000 Plan) pursuant to any employee benefit plan (as such term is defined in Rule 405
promulgated under the Act) that may be adopted after the Original Issue Date by the Board of Directors of the Company and approved by the

Companys Class B Preferred Stock, up to 310,472 shares of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of the Companys Class C Preferred Stock, including any additional shares of Common Stock thereunder to the anti-dilution adjustment
provisions of the Series C Preferred Stock; (v) the issuance of up to 1,900,000 shares of Common Stock upon the conversion or exchange of the Class B Units issued or issuable pursuant to the Overseas Operating Agreement, (vi) the issuance
and exercise of up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Overseas Warrants, (vii) the issuance and exercise of up to (A) all shares of Common Stock pursuant to the warrants issued to Kenmont Special
Opportunities Master Fund, L.P. and (B) all shares of Common Stock pursuant to the warrants issued to Silver Point Capital Partners Group, LLC or its registered assigns, (viii) the issuance of equity securities to the seller or sellers in
connection with an acquisition of a business or substantially all of the assets of a business so long as none of the sellers is, immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, an Affiliate of the Company, (ix) securities issued in a
public offering registered under the Securities Act so long as the issuance is for gross cash consideration that represents no greater than a 5% discount to the Fair Market Value on the effective date of the registration statement with respect to
such offering, (x) securities issued pursuant to a financing after the Original Issue Date in which CS (or its Affiliates) provide more than 75% of the funding, and (xi) the issuance and exercise of Warrant Stock pursuant to the Warrants.
The numbers of shares set forth in this Section 4.16 are subject to adjustment for the matters contemplated by Sections 4.4, 4.5 and 4.5 herein.

4.17 Notice of Adjustment of Exercise Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or the Exercise Price is adjusted as herein provided:

(i) the Company shall compute the adjusted Exercise Price in accordance with this Section 4 and shall prepare a certificate signed by
the treasurer or chief financial officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed at the Designated Office;
and

(ii) a notice stating that the Exercise Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price shall
forthwith be prepared by the Company, and as soon as practicable after it is prepared, such notice shall be mailed by the Company at its expense to all Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear in the warrant register.

4.18 Independent Application. Except as otherwise provided herein, all subsections of this Section 4 are intended to operate independently of
one another (but without duplication). If an event occurs that requires the application of more than one subsection, all applicable subsections shall be given independent effect without duplication.

5. NO IMPAIRMENT; REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND COOPERATION; AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS; NOTICE OF EXPIRATION

5.1 No Impairment. The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its charter documents or through any
reorganization, reclassification, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other similar voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant,
but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Warrant Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, free and clear of
all Liens, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under
this Warrant. The Company shall not take any action, enter into any transaction or suffer to exist any event, action or state of facts that would cause the Exercise Price to be adjusted below the then existing par value of Common Stock (unless the
Common Stock is changed to capital stock with no par value); provided, however, that nothing herein will prevent the operation of any other provision of this Warrant, including the anti-dilution provisions of Section 4.

5.2 No Dilution. If any event shall occur as to which the provisions of Section 4 are not strictly applicable but the failure
to make any adjustment would adversely affect the purchase rights represented by the Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such Section (including, without limitation, the issuance of securities other than Common Stock
which have the right to participate in distributions to the holders of Common Stock, the granting of phantom stock rights or stock appreciation rights), then, in each such case, the Company shall, upon the request of any
Holder, appoint an investment banking firm of recognized national standing, or any other financial expert that does not (or whose directors, officers, employees, affiliates or stockholders do not) have a direct or material indirect financial
interest in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, who has not been, and, at the time it is called upon to give independent financial advice to the Company, is not (and none of its directors, officers, employees, affiliates or stockholders are) a
promoter, director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which shall give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in Section 4, necessary to preserve,
without dilution, the purchase rights, represented by this Warrant. Prior to such determination by such investment banking firm, the Company and the requesting Holder(s), respectively, shall specify the amount, if any, of the adjustment that such
party has determined in good faith to be appropriate. The adjustment determined by the investment banking firm shall be within the range of the adjustments thus proposed by the parties, and the costs and fees of such investment banking firm shall be
allocated proportionately between the Company, on one hand, and the Holder(s), on the other, based on the respective differences between the amount of the adjustment as determined by such investment banking firm and the amounts of such adjustment
proposed by the Company and the Holder(s). Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the holders of the Warrants and shall make the adjustments described therein.

5.3 Other Agreements. The Company is not a party to or bound in any manner under, and covenants that it will not enter into at any time after the
date hereof, any



17



---

agreement or contract (whether written or oral) with respect to any of its securities which prevents the Company from
complying in any respect with the rights granted by the Company hereunder.

5.4 Affiliate Transactions. So long as the Holder is
entitled to purchase any shares of Common Stock, without the prior written consent or vote of the Majority Holder, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise
dispose of any of its securities, properties or assets to, or purchase any securities, property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit
of, any Affiliate of the Company (each, an Affiliate Transaction), unless: (i) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company or the relevant Subsidiary than those that would
have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Subsidiary with a person that is not an Affiliate, and (ii) the Company delivers to the Holder, with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $100,000, an officers certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 5.4 should only apply to
the extent that the Company does not have its Common Stock listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange.

6. RESERVATION AND
AUTHORIZATION OF COMMON STOCK

6.1 Reservation. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the
exercise of the Warrants such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be required for issuance of the Warrant Stock. All shares of Warrant Stock issuable pursuant to the terms hereof, when issued upon exercise of this
Warrant with payment therefor in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, not subject to preemptive rights and shall be free and clear of all Liens. Before taking any action that would
result in an adjustment in the number of shares of Warrant Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from
any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction over such action. If any shares of Warrant Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of Warrants require registration or qualification with any Governmental Entity under any
federal or state law (other than under the Securities Act or any state securities law) before such shares may be so issued, the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible and at its expense endeavor to cause such shares to be duly
registered.

6.2 Corporate Action. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Exercise Price below the
then par value (if any) of the shares of Warrant Stock deliverable upon exercise of the Warrant or that would cause the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant to exceed (when taken together with all other Outstanding
shares of Common Stock) the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue, the Company will take any corporate action that, in the opinion of its counsel, is necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally
issue the full number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant at such adjusted exercise price.

violation of applicable federal securities laws.

holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision hereof refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each such case take such a record and will take such record as of the close of business on a Business Day.

7.3 Closing of Transfer Books. The Company shall not at any time close its stock transfer books or warrant transfer books so as to
result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.

Company (the Designated Office), where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant. Such Designated Office shall initially be the office of the Company

advance notice, to the Holder, the Affiliates of the Holder and each of their respective officers, employees, advisors, counsel and other authorized representatives, during normal business hours, to all of the books, records and properties of the
Company and its Subsidiaries and all of the officers and employees of the Company and such Subsidiaries. It shall be a condition to the Companys obligations under this Section 9.2 that the Holder execute and deliver to the Company a

10. DILUTION FEE

(a) In the event that any dividends are declared or paid or any other distribution is made on or with respect to the Common Stock, the Holder of this
Warrant as of the record date established by the Board of Directors for such dividend or distribution on the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive a fee (the Dilution Fee) in an amount (whether in the form of cash, securities
or other property) equal to the amount (and in the form) of the dividends or distribution that such Holder would have received had the Warrant been exercised as of the date immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution, such
Dilution Fee to be payable on the same payment date established by the Board of Directors for the payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if the Company declares and pays a dividend or distribution on the
Common Stock consisting in whole or in part of Common Stock, then no such Dilution Fee shall be payable in respect of the Warrant on account of the portion of such dividend or distribution on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock and in lieu
thereof the



21



---

adjustment in Section 4 hereof shall apply. The record date for any such Dilution Fee shall be the record date for
the applicable dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, and any such Dilution Fee shall be payable to the Persons in whose name the Warrant is registered at the close of business on the applicable record date.

(b) No dividend shall be paid or declared on any share of Common Stock (other than dividends payable in Common Stock for which an adjustment was made

purposes hereof, the term dividends shall include any pro rata distribution by the Company, out of funds of the Company legally available therefor, of cash, property, securities (including, but not limited to, rights, warrants or
options) or other property or assets to the holders of the Common Stock, whether or not paid out of capital, surplus or earnings other than liquidation.

(c) Prior to declaring any dividend or making any distribution on or with respect to shares of Common Stock, the Company shall take all prior corporate action necessary to authorize the issuance of any securities
payable as the Dilution Fee in respect of the Warrant.

11. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL

however, that (i) if Shareholder Approval is not obtained within 90 days after the Original Issue Date; provided that the Company will have up to an additional 60 days to obtain the Shareholder Approval to the extent such additional days are
necessary to resolve any issues arising during the Commissions review of the Companys shareholder solicitation materials, should such a review be conducted by the Commission, (ii) if the shareholders of the Company, at a duly
convened meeting called for, among other things, such purpose, fail to provide Shareholder Approval, or (iii) if, prior to Shareholder Approval, a Liquidity Event occurs, then this Warrant together with all other Warrants issuable pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement, shall be exercisable solely for the maximum number of shares of Warrant Stock that may be issued without Shareholder Approval under any applicable Nasdaq rules and regulations and this Warrant shall terminate, without the
payment of any penalty or premium under the terms of this Warrant or the Warrant Purchase Agreement (except to the extent the Company has not used its reasonable best efforts to obtain Shareholder Approval) as to that number of shares of Warrant
Stock in excess thereof; provided, further, however, that this Warrant shall be fully exercisable and the foregoing limitations shall not apply if the Company delivers to the Holders a determination letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market that the
Company has been relieved of all requirements for Shareholder Approval.

(b) In the event that more than one Warrant is issued pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement, then the provisions of this and such other Warrants issuable pursuant to such agreement shall be proportionately applied so as to give effect to this Section 11 with respect to all such Warrants.

Section 5 thereof, and to the extent there is any inconsistency between the Engagement Letter and this Warrant, the Engagement Letter shall prevail.

or at such other address as the parties each may specify by written notice to the others, and each such notice,
request, consent and other communication shall for all purposes of the Warrant be treated as being effective or having been given when delivered if delivered personally, upon

receipt of facsimile confirmation if transmitted by facsimile, or, if sent by mail, at the earlier of its receipt or 72
hours after the same has been deposited in a regularly maintained receptacle for the deposit of United States mail, addressed and postage prepaid as aforesaid.

12.3 Indemnification. If the Company fails to make, when due, any payments provided for in this Warrant, the Company shall pay to the Holder hereof (a) interest at the Agreed Rate on any amounts due and
owing to such Holder and (b) such further amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses incurred by such Holder in collecting any amounts due
hereunder. The Company shall indemnify, save and hold harmless the Holder hereof and the Holders of any Warrant Stock issued upon the exercise hereof from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, reasonable attorneys and
accountants fees and expenses, court costs and all other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with or arising from any default hereunder by the Company or the enforcement of its rights hereunder as against the Company. This
indemnification provision shall be in addition to the rights of such Holder or Holders to bring an action against the Company for breach of contract based on such default hereunder.

12.4 Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase shares of Warrant Stock, and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder to pay the Exercise Price for any Warrant Stock other than pursuant to an exercise of this Warrant or any liability as a stockholder
of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the Company and nothing contained in this Warrant shall be
construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of meetings of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a
stockholder of the Company.

12.5 Remedies. Each Holder of Warrants and/or Warrant Stock, in addition to being entitled to exercise
its rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights provided under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by
reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees, in an action for specific performance, to waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

12.6 Successors and Assigns. This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the
Company and the permitted successors and assigns of the Holder hereof. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant and to the extent applicable, all Holders of shares of Warrant
Stock issued upon the exercise hereof (including transferees), and shall be enforceable by any such Holder.

12.7 Amendment. This
Warrant and all other Warrants may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived only with the written consent of the Company and a majority-in-interest of the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without a Holders written consent
no such modification, amendment or waiver shall affect adversely such Holders rights hereunder in a discriminatory manner inconsistent with its adverse effects on rights of other

Holders hereunder (other than as reflected by the different number of shares of Warrant Stock held by such Holders). This
Warrant cannot be changed, modified, discharged or terminated by oral agreement.

12.8 Severability. Wherever possible, each
provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

12.9 Headings. The headings and other captions in this Warrant are for the convenience and reference only and shall not be used in interpreting, construing or enforcing any provision of this Warrant.

12.10 Governing Law. IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

12.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY
DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND CS ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER
TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.

12.12 Aggregation of Stock. All Warrant Stock held by or acquired
by Affiliated Persons will be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Warrant.

12.13
Entire Agreement. This Warrant contains the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and replaces all other prior agreements, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
