shall vest immediately upon issuance of this Warrant. The number of Shares, type of security and Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided herein, and all references to “Common Stock” and “Exercise Price” herein shall
be deemed to include any such adjustment or series of adjustments. 







 2. Exercise of Warrant. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are
exercisable by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the Expiration Time by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise annexed hereto, all duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, at

Exercise Price for the Shares thereby purchased (by cash, certified or cashier’s check, or wire transfer payable to the Company). Thereupon, the Holder as the holder of this Warrant, shall be entitled to receive from the Company a stock
certificate in proper form representing the number of Shares so purchased, and a new Warrant in substantially identical form and dated as of such exercise date for the purchase of that number of Shares equal to the difference, if any, between the
number of Shares subject hereto and the number of Shares as to which this Warrant is so exercised. 
 3. Issuance of
Shares. Certificates for Shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time after the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised in accordance with the terms hereof. All Shares that may be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant shall, upon such exercise, be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issuance thereof (other than liens or charges created by or
imposed upon the Holder as the holder of the Warrant or taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously or otherwise specified herein). The Company agrees that the Shares so issued shall be and shall for all purposes be deemed to have
been issued to the Holder as the record owner of such Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised in accordance with the terms hereof. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available,
solely for issuance, sale and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, such number of Shares, equal to the number of such Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant. 

4. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Shares or scrip representing fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise
of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional Warrant Share to which the Holder as the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Holder shall be entitled, at its option, to receive either (i) a cash payment equal to the excess of fair market value
for such fractional Warrant Share above the Exercise Price for such fractional share (as determined in good faith by the Company) or (ii) a whole Share if the Holder tenders the Exercise Price for one whole share. 

5. No Rights as Shareholders. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder as a holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as
a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof. 
 6. Exchange and Registry of Warrant. This Warrant is
exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by Holder as the registered holder at the above-mentioned office or agency of the Company, for a new Warrant of substantially identical form and dated as of such exchange. The Company shall maintain at the
above-mentioned office or agency a registry showing the name and address of Holder as the registered Holder of this Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange or exercise, in accordance with its terms, at the office of the Company, and
the Company shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.

evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon reimbursement to the Company of all
reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation and reissuance, in lieu of this Warrant.

any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday or a Sunday or shall be a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day that is not a Saturday or a Sunday or a legal holiday.

 9. Adjustments of Rights. The purchase price per Share and/or the number of Shares purchasable hereunder are subject
to adjustment from time to time as follows: 
 (a) Merger or Consolidation. If at any time there shall be a merger or a
consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation when the Company is not the surviving corporation, then, as part of such merger or consolidation, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder as the holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the aggregate Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) of
the successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation, to which the Holder as the holder of the stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such merger or consolidation if this Warrant had been
exercised immediately before such merger or consolidation. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder as the holder of this
Warrant after the merger or consolidation. This provision shall apply to successive mergers or consolidations. 
 (b)
Reclassification, Recapitalization, etc. If the Company at any time shall, by subdivision, combination or reclassification of securities, recapitalization, automatic conversion, or other similar event affecting the number or character of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter
represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such
subdivision, combination, reclassification or other change. 
 (c) Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the
Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a
split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination. 
  

 3 








 (d) Common Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend with respect to Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or make any other distribution with respect to Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted,
from and after the date of determination of the shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction
(i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution. 
 10. Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment
in the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole Share, to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Shares purchasable immediately prior to
such adjustment by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately after such adjustment. 

11. Notice of Adjustments; Notices. Whenever the Exercise Price or number or type of securities issuable hereunder shall be
adjusted pursuant to Sections 9 or 10 hereof, the Company shall issue and provide to the Holder as the holder of this Warrant, within ten (10) days after the event requiring the adjustment, a certificate signed by an officer of
the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Exercise Price and number of Shares purchasable hereunder after giving
effect to such adjustment. 
 12. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the
Company. This Warrant shall constitute a contract under the laws of Delaware and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of said state, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles. 

13. Amendments. This Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived only with the written
consent of the Company and the Holder as the holder hereof.
