 2. Exercise of
Warrant. 
 (a) The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time, or
from time to time, at or prior to the Expiration Time. To exercise this Warrant, the Holder shall (i) deliver to the Company (A) an executed Warrant Exercise Notice substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A to this Warrant and
(B) the original executed Warrant together with an executed Warrant Exercise Subscription Form substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B to this Warrant and (ii) pay to Company an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price.

 (b) At the election of the Holder, the Exercise Price may be paid either by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account designated by the Company or by certified or official bank check or bank cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company. Unless the Holder requests delivery of the Warrant Shares in a different name than the
Holder’s name, the Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of the Warrant Shares. 

(c) If the Holder exercises this Warrant in part, this Warrant shall be surrendered by the Holder to the Company and a new
Warrant of the same tenor and for the unexercised number of Warrant Shares shall be executed by the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable. The Company shall register the new Warrant in the name of the Holder or in such name or names of its
transferee pursuant to Section 5 as may be directed in writing by the Holder and deliver the new Warrant to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same as promptly as reasonably practicable. 

(d) Upon surrender of this Warrant in conformity with the foregoing provisions, the Company shall promptly transfer to the
Holder of this Warrant appropriate evidence of ownership of the shares of Common Stock or other securities or property (including any money) to which the Holder is entitled, registered or otherwise placed in, or payable to the order of, the name or
names of the Holder or its transferee pursuant to Section 5 as may be directed in writing by the Holder, and shall deliver such evidence of ownership and any other securities or property (including any money) to the Person or Persons
entitled to receive the same, together with an amount in cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in Section 4. 
 3. Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant such number of its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock or any other securities of the Company from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant. All such shares shall be duly authorized and, when issued and paid
for upon exercise of the Warrant, shall be newly, duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens and will not be subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, any similar rights of stockholders or any
other limitation or restriction, except as provided for in the Purchase Agreement or Rights Agreement, and except as a result of the shares having been issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. 







 4. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and in lieu of delivery of any such fractional share to which the Holder may be entitled upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such
fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price Per Common Share on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the Holder delivers the Warrant Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 2(a). 

5. Transfer or Assignment of Warrant by the Holder. 

(a) Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that the registered holder
hereof may be treated by the Company and all other Persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the Person entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby. 

(b) The Holder agrees that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on sales,
transfers and other dispositions as are applicable to the shares of Common Stock acquired by the Holder pursuant to Section 4.9 of the Purchase Agreement; provided that the exception to such restrictions set forth in Section 4.9(i)
of the Purchase Agreement shall not apply to this Warrant or the Warrant Shares. 
 (c) Without limiting
Section 5(b), this Warrant shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2.12 of the Rights Agreement. 
 (d) Upon a valid exchange, transfer or assignment of this Warrant and surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with a duly executed Warrant Assignment Form substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit C, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable and without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee or assignees named in such Warrant Assignment Form and, if the Holder’s entire interest is not
being assigned, in the name of the Holder, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. 
 6. Loss or Destruction of
Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it (in the exercise of its reasonable discretion) of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of
reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date. 







 7. Anti-Dilution Provisions. 

(a) Common Stock Dividends, Subdivisions or Combinations. If the Company shall at any time after the date hereof
(x) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on Common Stock payable in Common Stock, (y) subdivide or split the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or (z) combine or reclassify the outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case: 
 (i) the number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant thereafter shall be proportionately adjusted so that the exercise of this Warrant after such event shall entitle the Holder to receive the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder
would have been entitled to receive had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such event; and 

(ii) the Exercise Price thereafter shall be adjusted to equal the product of the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such event multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such event and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number
of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately following such event. 
 Any adjustment made pursuant to
this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the applicable record date, in the case of a dividend or distribution, or immediately after the applicable effective date, in the case of a subdivision, split, combination or
reclassification. 
 (b) Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. In the event of any consolidation of the
Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other Person, any merger of another Person into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common
Stock) or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or to any other Person that acquires such assets pursuant to any such sale or transfer
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, as the case may be, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for the kind and amount of securities, cash and/or other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. In determining the kind and amount of
securities, cash and/or other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, if the holders of Common Stock have the right to elect as to the consideration to be received upon the consummation of such consolidation, merger,
sale or transfer, then the consideration that the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise shall be deemed to be the kind and amount of consideration received by the majority of all holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make an
election (or of all such holders if none make an election). Adjustments for events subsequent to the effective date of such a consolidation, merger, sale or transfer of assets shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments
provided for in this Warrant. In any such event, effective provisions shall be made in the certificate of incorporation or other organizational or charter documents of the resulting or surviving corporation, in any contract of sale, merger,
conveyance, lease, transfer or otherwise so that the provisions set forth herein for the protection of the rights of the Holder shall thereafter continue to be applicable; and any such resulting or surviving corporation shall expressly assume the
obligation to deliver, upon exercise, such shares of stock, other securities, cash and property. 







 (c) Certain Determinations. For purposes of any computation of any
adjustment required under this Section 7: 
 (i) adjustments shall be made successively whenever any
event giving rise to such an adjustment shall occur; 
 (ii) if any portion of any consideration to be received
by the Company in a transaction giving rise to such an adjustment shall be in a form other than cash, the fair market value of such non-cash consideration shall be utilized in such computation. Such fair market value shall be determined by the
Board; provided that if the Holder objects to any such determination, such fair market value shall be as determined by an independent appraiser retained by the Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the expense of which shall be
shared equally by the Company and the Holder. The Holder shall be notified promptly of any consideration other than cash to be received by the Company and furnished with a description of the consideration and the fair market value thereof, as
determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions; 
 (iii) such calculations shall be made to the nearest
one-tenth of a cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be; 
 (iv) the number of Shares
outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company; and 

(v) no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, as the
case may be, shall be required if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one-tenth of a cent or one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be; provided that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 7(c)(v) are not
required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. 
 (d)
Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of any and each adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with
the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. 

(e) Notices. In the event that the Company shall propose at any time to effect any of the events described in
Sections 7(a) through (b) that would result in an adjustment to the Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or a change in the type of securities or property to be delivered upon exercise of
this Warrant, the Company shall send notice to the Holder in the manner set forth in Section 10. Such notice shall be sent at least 15 days prior to the effective date of any such event and shall specify such effective date. In the event that
the Company shall issue a dividend or other distribution, the Company shall send notice to the Holder in the manner set forth in Section 10. Such notice shall be sent at least ten days prior to the applicable record date and shall
specify such record date and the date on which such 







 
dividend or other distribution is to be made. In all cases, such notice shall specify such event in reasonable detail, including the effect on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of
securities or other property issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. 
 8. Furnishing of Information. The Company
covenants to timely file its Exchange Act reports and furnish such information as required by Section 4.2 of the Purchase Agreement. 
 9. Rights of the Holder. Prior to any exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder of the Company, including, without
limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions, to exercise any preemptive right or to receive any notice of meetings of shareholders or any notice of any proceedings of the Company except as may be specifically provided
for herein. 
 10. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be
provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section
10 prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, (b) the next Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section 10
on a day that is not a Business Day or at or later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, (c) the Business Day following the date of deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier service, and (d) upon actual
