Warrant Agreement dated as of July 26, 2006



 Exhibit 10.4 
 WARRANT AGREEMENT 
 THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of July 26,
2006, is made and entered into by and between Syntroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Sovereign Oil & Gas Company II, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Warrantholder”). This
Agreement is being executed in connection with the Joint Development Agreement dated as of March 1, 2004 by and between the Company and the Warrantholder (the “JD Agreement”). 
 The Company agrees to issue, and the Warrantholder agrees to accept, the warrants, as hereinafter described (the “Warrants”), to purchase up to
25,000 shares (the “Shares”), of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), as provided in the JD Agreement. 
 In consideration of the foregoing and for the purpose of defining the terms and provisions of the Warrants and the respective rights and obligations thereunder, the Company and the Warrantholder, for value received,
hereby agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Transferability and Form of Warrants. 
 1.1 Registration. The Warrants shall be numbered and shall be registered on the books of the Company when issued. 
 1.2 Limitations on Transfer. The Warrants and the Shares shall not be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged except upon the conditions specified
in this Agreement. The Warrantholder will cause any proposed purchaser, assignee, transferee or pledgee of the Warrants or the Shares, except for transferees in dispositions of Shares that are pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or dispositions of Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Agreement. The
Warrants may be divided or combined, upon request to the Company by the Warrantholder, into a certificate or certificates representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Shares. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term
“Warrantholder” shall include any transferee or transferees of the Shares that are required to be bound by the terms hereof, and the term “Warrants” shall include any and all warrants outstanding pursuant to this Agreement,
including those evidenced by a certificate or certificates issued upon division, exchange or substitution pursuant to this Agreement. The Warrantholder by its receipt of a Warrant certificate, agrees to be bound by and comply with the terms of this
Agreement. The Warrantholder represents and agrees that the Warrant (and Shares if the Warrant is exercised) is purchased only for investment, for the Warrantholder’s own account, and without any present intention to sell, or with a view to
distribution of, the Warrant or Shares. 
 1.3 Form of Warrants. The text of the Warrants and of the form of election to purchase
Shares shall be substantially as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of 







 certain events, all as hereinafter provided. The Warrant shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chief
Executive Officer, President or by a Vice President, attested to by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. A Warrant bearing the signature of an individual who was at any time the proper officer of the Company shall bind the Company,
notwithstanding that such individual shall have ceased to hold such office prior to the delivery of such Warrant or did not hold such office on the date of this Agreement. 
 The Warrants shall be dated as of the date of signature thereof by the Company either upon initial issuance or upon division, exchange or substitution.

 1.4 Legend on Warrants. Each Warrant certificate shall bear the following legend: 
  

	 	(a)	“THE WARRANTS EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
LAWS. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (I) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO, (II) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED AND ANY
PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT APPLICABLE OR (III) RECEIPT OF NO-ACTION LETTERS FROM THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES. COPIES OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT AND THE JOINT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT COVERING THE ISSUANCE OF THESE WARRANTS AND
VARIOUS REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION PROVISIONS RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER, MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE
OFFICES OF THE COMPANY.”; and 

  

	 	(b)	any legend required by applicable state securities law. 

 Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legends (except, in the case of the Shares, a new certificate issued upon completion of a public distribution pursuant to a registration
statement under the Act or upon completion of a sale under Rule 144 under the Act of the securities represented thereby) shall also bear the above legend or similar legend unless, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, the securities
represented thereby need no longer be subject to such restrictions. The Warrantholder consents to the Company making a notation on its records and giving instructions to any registrar or transfer agent of the Warrants and the Common Stock in order
to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Agreement. 
  

 2 








 Section 2. Exchange of Warrant Certificate. Any Warrant certificate may be exchanged for
another certificate or certificates entitling the Warrantholder to purchase a like aggregate number of Shares as the certificate or certificates surrendered then entitled the Warrantholder to purchase. If the Warrantholder desires to exchange a
Warrant certificate, it shall make such request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender, properly endorsed, the certificate evidencing the Warrant to be so exchanged. Thereupon, the Company shall execute and deliver to the person
entitled thereto a new Warrant certificate as so requested. 
 Section 3. Term of Warrants; Exercise of Warrants. 
 (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Warrantholder shall have the right, at any time and from time to time on a day that is not a Saturday,
Sunday or public holiday in Tulsa, Oklahoma during the period commencing on July 26, 2006, and ending at 5:00 p.m., Tulsa, Oklahoma time, on July 26, 2011 the “Termination Date”), to exercise a Warrant and to purchase from the
Company up to the number of fully paid and nonassessable Shares to which the Warrantholder may at the time be entitled to purchase pursuant to this Agreement, upon surrender to the Company, at its principal office, of the certificate evidencing the
Warrants to be exercised, together with the purchase form on the reverse thereof duly completed and signed, and upon payment to the Company of the Warrant Price (as defined in and determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3
and Sections 7 and 8 hereof), for the number of Shares in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised, but in no event for less than 100 Shares (unless less than an aggregate of 100 Shares are then purchasable under all outstanding Warrants
held by the Warrantholder). 
 (b) Payment by the Warrantholder of the aggregate Warrant Price due from it shall be made in cash or by
immediately available funds, check or any combination thereof. 
 (c) Upon such surrender of the Warrants and payment of such Warrant Price
as aforesaid, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Warrantholder and in the name of the Warrantholder a certificate or certificates for the number of full Shares so purchased upon the exercise of its
Warrant, together with cash, as provided in Section 9 hereof, in respect of any fractional Shares otherwise issuable upon such surrender. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and the Warrantholder shall be deemed
to have become a holder of record of such securities as of the date of surrender of the Warrants and payment of the Warrant Price, as aforesaid, notwithstanding that the certificate or certificates representing such securities shall not actually
have been delivered or that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed. The Warrants shall be exercisable, at the election of the Warrantholder, either in full or from time to time in part and, in the event that a certificate
evidencing the Warrants is exercised in respect of less than all of the Shares specified therein at any time prior to the Termination Date, a new certificate evidencing the remaining portion of the Warrants held by the Warrantholder will be issued
by the Company. 
 Section 4. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes, if any, attributable to the
initial issuance of the Warrants or the Shares; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any secondary transfer of the Warrants or the Shares. 
  

 3 








 Section 5. Mutilated or Missing Warrants. In case the certificate or certificates evidencing
the Warrants shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall, at the request of the Warrantholder, issue and deliver in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated certificate or certificates, or in lieu of
and substitution for the certificate or certificates lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant certificate or certificates of like tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest, but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company
of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant and a bond of indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory in form and amount at the applicant’s cost. Applicants for such substitute Warrants certificate shall also comply with such other
reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe. 
 Section 6. Reservation of Shares.
There has been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved so long as the Warrants remain outstanding, out of its authorized Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be subject to purchase under the Warrants. On or
before taking any action that would cause an adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Warrants resulting in an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such conversion or exercise above the number thereof previously
authorized, reserved and available therefor, the Company shall take all such action so required for compliance with this Section. 
 Section 7. Warrant Price. The price per Share at which Shares shall be purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Price”) shall be $7.98, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8 hereof.

 Section 8. Adjustment of Number of Shares. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants and
the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows: 
 8.1
Adjustments. The number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows: (a) In case the Company after the date hereof shall (1) make or pay a dividend or make
a distribution in shares of Common Stock on its Common Stock, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or (3) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares, the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Warrantholder upon exercise of the Warrants shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which
it would have owned or would have been entitled to receive immediately following such action had the Warrants been exercised immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective on the day
immediately after the record date, except as provided in subsection (f) below, in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective on the day immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.
Whenever the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of a Warrant is adjusted as provided in this paragraph (a), the Warrant Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of
which the numerator shall be the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter. 
  

 4 








 (b) In case the Company after the date hereof shall distribute any rights, warrants or options to all
holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period expiring within 60 days after the record date for such distribution, to purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock at a price per share less than the Relevant
Current Market Price Per Share (as defined below), the Warrant Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the sum of (A) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date for the distribution to which this subsection (b) is being applied and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate price of the total number of shares of
Common Stock offered pursuant to the distribution to which this subsection (b) is being applied would purchase at the Relevant Current Market Price Per Share and (ii) the denominator shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on the record date for the distribution to which this subsection (b) is being applied and (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered pursuant to the distribution to which this subsection
(b) is being applied. For purposes of this subsection (b), the “Relevant Current Market Price Per Share” means the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (d) below) on the
record date for the distribution to which this subsection (b) applies, minus, for any distribution to which subsection (c) applies and for which (x) the record date shall occur on or before the record date for the distribution to
which this subsection (b) applies and (y) the “‘ex’ date” shall occur on or after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the rights, warrants or options to which this subsection
(b) applies, the fair market value (on the record date for the distribution to which this subsection (b) applies and as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the assets of the Company or evidences
of indebtedness, cash or securities distributed in respect of each share of Common Stock in such subsection (c) distribution. The adjustment shall, except as provided in subsection (f) below, become effective on the day immediately after
the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the rights, warrants or options to which this subsection (b) applies. 
 (c) In case the Company or any subsidiary of the Company after the date hereof shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock any of its assets, evidences of indebtedness, cash or securities (excluding any
distributions referred to in subsections (a) or (b) and any dividend or distribution paid in cash out of earned surplus of the Company) then in each such case the Warrant Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price
determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the record date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in
subsection (d) below) on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the portion of the assets, evidences of indebtedness, cash or
securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall, except as provided in subsection (f) below, become
effective on the day immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. 
 (d)
For the purpose of any computation under subsection (b) or (c) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Market Value of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days before,
and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the “‘ex’ date”, with respect to the issuance or 
  

 5 








 distribution requiring such computation. For purposes of subsection (b) and this subsection (d), the term
“‘ex’ date,” when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the Nasdaq (or, if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal
national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading and if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as determined in good
faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) without the right to receive such issuance or distribution. 
 (e) In addition to the
foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b) and (c) above, the Company will be permitted to make such reductions in the Warrant Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a
dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of Common Stock. 
 (f) In any case in which this
Section 8 shall require that an adjustment be made effective on the day immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the
event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case the Company shall, with respect to any Warrant exercised after such record date and on and before such adjustment shall have become effective (i) defer paying any cash payment pursuant to
Section 9 hereof or issuing to the Warrantholder the number of shares of Common Stock (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such exercise in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company issuable
thereupon only on the basis of the Warrant Price prior to such adjustment, and (ii) not later than five business days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to the Warrantholder the appropriate cash payment pursuant to
Section 9 hereof and issue to the Warrantholder the additional shares of Common Stock (or other asset or securities) issuable on such exercise. 
 (g) Upon the expiration of any rights, warrants or options referred to in subsection (b) or (c) above, to the extent the Warrants shall not have been exercised, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted to such
amount as would have been received by the Warrantholder had the adjustment in such Warrant Price made upon the distribution of such rights, warrants or options been made upon the basis of the distribution of only such number of rights, warrants or
options as were actually exercised. 
 (h) No adjustment in the number of Shares purchasable pursuant to the Warrants or in the Warrant Price
shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1.0% of the number of Shares then purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants or in the Warrant Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason
of this subsection 8.1(h) are not required to be made immediately shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest
one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. 
 (i) Whenever the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants or the
Warrant Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall cause to be promptly mailed to the Warrantholder by first class mail, postage prepaid, notice of such adjustment setting forth the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the
Warrants and the Warrant Price after such adjustment, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which such adjustment was made. 
  

 6 








 (j) Except as provided in this Section 8 or in Section 11, during the term of the Warrants or
upon the exercise of the Warrants, no adjustment shall be made (i) in respect of any dividends or distributions or (ii) in respect of the consummation of any business combination or other extraordinary transaction. 
 (k) Irrespective of any adjustments in the number of securities issuable upon exercise of Warrants or in the Warrant Price, Warrant certificates
theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same number of securities and Warrant Price as are stated in the Warrant certificates initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement. However, the Company may, at any time in its sole
discretion (which shall be conclusive), make any change in the form of Warrant certificate that it may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof; and any Warrant certificate thereafter issued, whether upon registration of, or
in exchange or substitution for, an outstanding Warrant certificate, may be in the form so changed. 
 8.2 Par Value of Shares of Common
Stock. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment effectively reducing the portion of the Warrant Price allocable to each Share below the then par value per share of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the
Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants. 
 8.3 Independent Public Accountants. The Company may retain a firm of independent public accountants of recognized national standing (which may be
any such firm regularly employed by the Company) to make any computation required under this Section 8, and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any computation made under this Section 8.

 8.4 Statement on Warrant Certificates. Irrespective of any adjustments in the number of securities issuable upon exercise of
Warrants or in the Warrant Price, Warrant certificates theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same number of securities and Warrant Price as are stated in the Warrant certificates initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement.
However, the Company may, at any time in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive), make any change in the form of Warrant certificate that it may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof; and any Warrant certificate
thereafter issued, whether upon registration of, or in exchange or substitution for, an outstanding Warrant certificate, may be in the form so changed. 
 Section 9. Fractional Interests; Fair Value. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Shares on the exercise of the Warrants. If any fraction of a Share would, except for the provisions of
this Section 9, be issuable on the exercise of the Warrants (or specified portion thereof), the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the then Market Value of the Common Stock on the day of such exercise multiplied by such fraction.

 Section 10. No Right as Stockholder; Notices to Warrantholder. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in the Warrants shall be
construed as conferring upon the Warrantholder or its transferees any rights as a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote, receive dividends, call meetings, consent or receive notices as a stockholder in respect of any meeting of
stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matter or 
  

 7 








 imposing any fiduciary or other duty on the Company, its officers or directors, in favor of the Warrantholder, all of
which rights and duties owed to stockholders are disclaimed and waived by the Warrantholder. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of the Warrants and prior to their exercise, any one or more of the following events shall occur:

 (a) any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to Section 8.1; or 
 (b) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company or a consolidation, merger or similar business combination or sale of its property, assets
and business as an entirety or substantially as an entirety shall be proposed; 
 then the Company shall give notice in writing of such event to the
Warrantholder, as provided in Section 13 hereof, promptly prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to any relevant dividend, distribution, subscription
rights or other rights, or for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be.
Failure to mail or receive such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken with respect thereto. 
 Section 11. Continuation of Purchase Rights in Case of Reclassification, Change, Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets. If any of the following shall occur, namely: (a) any reclassification or change of outstanding shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (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 subdivision or combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock),
(b) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other person, or the merger of any other person with or into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, change, conversion, exchange or
cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or (c) sale, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (computed on a consolidated basis), then the Company, or such successor or purchasing entity, as
the case may be, shall, as a condition precedent to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or conveyance, execute and deliver to the Warrantholder an agreement providing that the Warrantholder shall have the right to
exercise the Warrants only into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or conveyance by a holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and (ii) failed to exercise its rights of an election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or conveyance (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash, and other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or conveyance is not the same for each share of Common Stock of
the Company held immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or conveyance in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“non-electing share”), then for the purpose
of this Section 11 the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or conveyance by each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and
amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). Such agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Agreement. If, in the case of
any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the 
  

 8 








 stock or other securities and property (including cash) receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock
includes shares of stock or other securities and property (including cash) of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, then such agreement shall also be
executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Warrantholder as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. The provisions of
this Section 11 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. Notice of the execution of each such agreement shall be mailed to the Warrantholder by first class mail, postage prepaid. 
 Section 12. Securities Laws; Restrictions on Transfer of Shares; Registration Rights. 
 (a) The Warrantholder agrees that the Warrant and the related Shares (each of the Warrant and the Shares being referred to herein as a
“Security” and together, “Securities”) are being acquired for investment and that the Warrantholder will not purchase, offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Securities except under circumstances which will not result in
a violation of the Act. In order to exercise this Warrant, the Warrantholder must be able to confirm and shall confirm in writing, by executing a certificate to be supplied by the Company, all of the representations and other covenants contained in
this Agreement, including that the Securities so purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale. The Shares (unless registered under the Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with, in addition to any other
appropriate or required legend, a legend in substantially the following form: 
 “THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (i) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO, (ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER,
REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED AND ANY PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT APPLICABLE OR (iii) RECEIPT OF NO-ACTION LETTERS FROM THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES. COPIES OF THE
AGREEMENT COVERING THE ISSUANCE OF THESE SECURITIES AND RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF
THE COMPANY.” 
  

 9 








 (b) In addition, the Warrantholder specifically represents to the Company both at the time of initial
purchase of the Warrant and at those future times as specified herein: 
 (1) The Warrantholder has experience in analyzing and investing in
companies like the Company and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests. The Warrantholder is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in Rule
501(a) promulgated under the Act. The Warrantholder is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition, and has acquired information about the Company sufficient to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the
Securities. The Warrantholder is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment purposes only not as a nominee or agent and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof for purposes of
the Act. The Warrantholder is acquiring the Securities for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Warrantholder acknowledges the
Company’s obligation to file a registration statement with respect to the Shares as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and among the Company and the Warrantholder (the “Registration Rights
Agreement”), the effectiveness of which registration statement may be required for the resale of the Shares. The Warrantholder has not offered or sold any portion of the Securities to be acquired by the Warrantholder and has no present
intention of reselling or otherwise disposing of any portion of such Securities either currently or after the passage of a fixed or determinable period of time or upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any predetermined event or circumstance, and
in particular the Warrantholder has no current intention to resell the Shares under such registration statement nor would it have such intention if such registration statement were effective as of the date of purchase. The Warrantholder understands
that investment in the Securities is subject to a high degree of risk. The Warrantholder can bear the economic risk of its investment, including the full loss of its investment, and by reason of its business or financial experience or the business
or financial experience of its professional advisors has the capacity to evaluate the merits and risks of its investment and protect its own interest in connection with the purchase of the Securities. If other than an individual, the Warrantholder
also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities. 
 (2) The Warrantholder understands that the
Securities have not been and except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Shares will not be registered under the Act or any applicable State securities law in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which
exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Warrantholder’s investment intent and the accuracy of the Warrantholder’s representations as expressed herein and the Warrantholder will furnish the Company with such
additional information as is reasonably requested by the Company in connection with such exemption. 
 (3) The Warrantholder further
understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act and any applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from registration are otherwise available. Moreover, the Warrantholder understands
that the Company is under no obligation to and does not expect to register the Securities except as provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Shares. 
 (4) The Warrantholder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of
“restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof (or from an Affiliate of such issuer), in a nonpublic offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, if applicable, including, among other
things: The availability of certain public information about the Company, the resale occurring not 
  

 10 








 less than one year after the party has purchased and paid for the Securities to be sold; the sale being made through a
broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and the amount of securities being sold during any
three-month period not exceeding the specified limitations stated therein. 
 (5) The Warrantholder further understands that it may not
transfer the Warrants and that at the time it wishes to sell the Securities, it is possible that there will be no public market upon which to make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists, the Company may not be satisfying the
current public information requirements of Rule 144, and that, in such event, the Warrantholder may be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the one-year minimum holding period had been satisfied. 
 (6) The Warrantholder further understands that in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Act or
compliance with registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private
placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons
and their respective brokers who participate in such actions do so at their own risk. 
 (7) To the Warrantholder’s knowledge, the
Company has made available copies of the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act since the beginning of the Company’s current fiscal year. The Warrantholder has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions relating to and otherwise
discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with the Company’s management, customers and other parties, and the Warrantholder has received satisfactory responses to the Warrantholder’s inquiries. The Warrantholder
has relied solely on its own independent investigation before deciding to enter into the purchase of the Warrants contemplated hereby. Unless the Warrantholder has otherwise notified the Company in writing, the Warrantholder is not, and has not been
within the ninety (90) days prior to the closing date of the purchase of the Securities, a broker or dealer of securities. Unless the Warrantholder has otherwise notified the Company in writing, the Warrantholder is not an employee, officer or
director of the Company nor prior to the consummation of the actions contemplated hereby, is the Warrantholder the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the Common Stock of the Company. 
 (c) With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of any Securities that is not registered under the Act, the Warrantholder agrees to give written
notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of the Warrantholder’s counsel, if reasonably requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be
effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state law then in effect) of such Securities and indicating whether or not under the Act, certificates for the Securities in question to be sold or
otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such law. Such opinion must be satisfactory to the Company in its reasonable judgment and shall state that it
may be relied upon by counsel to the Company, and any stock exchange or transfer agent. Promptly upon receiving such written notice and satisfactory opinion, if so requested, the 
  

 11 








 Company shall notify the Warrantholder that the Warrantholder may sell or otherwise dispose of such Securities all in
accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this subsection (c) that the opinion of counsel for the Warrantholder is not satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify
the Warrantholder promptly after such determination has been made and shall specify in detail the legal analysis supporting any such conclusion. Each certificate representing the Securities thus transferred (except a transfer registered under the
Act or a transfer of Shares pursuant to Rule 144) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the Warrantholder, such legend is
not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions. 
 (d) Prior to any transfer of the Securities (except a transfer registered under the Act or a transfer of Shares pursuant to Rule 144), the proposed transferee shall agree in writing with the Company to be bound by the
terms of this Agreement (whether or not the Warrant has been exercised or otherwise outstanding) as if an original signatory hereto and the proposed transferee must be able to and must make representations as set forth in this Section 12.

 (e) As used in this Section 12, “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any person, any other person controlling,
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such person (for the purposes of this definition “control,” when used with respect to any specified person, shall mean the power to direct the management and policies of such
person, directly or indirectly, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” shall have meanings correlative to the foregoing). 
 Section 13. Notices. Any notice pursuant to this Agreement by the Company or by the Warrantholder or a holder of Shares shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested:

 Section 14. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company, the Warrantholder or the holders of Shares shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and
assigns hereunder. 
 Section 15. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the
State of Delaware and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of said State. 
 Section 16. Benefits of
this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give to any person or corporation other than the Company, the Warrantholder and the 
  

 12 








 holders of Shares any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be for the
sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the Warrantholder and the holders of Shares. 
 Section 17. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 Section 18. Amendment. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the
party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is sought; provided, however, that any provisions hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated upon the written consent of the Company and the
Warrantholder.
