Stock”). The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to $0.00001 (the “Exercise Price”). 

Section 1. Definitions. For purposes of this Warrant, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 

 

	 	(a)	 “Affiliate” means any Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).



  

	 	(b)	 “Attribution Parties” means, collectively, the following Persons and entities:
(i) any direct or indirect Affiliates of the Holder, and (ii) any Person acting or who could be deemed to be acting as a Group together with the Holder or any of the foregoing. 



 

	 	(c)	 “Bloomberg” means Bloomberg Financial Markets. 



 

	 	(d)	 “Business Day” means any day except any Saturday, any Sunday, any day that is a federal
legal holiday in the United States or any day on which the Trading Market is authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close. 


  

	 	(e)	 “Group” means a “group” as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and as defined in Rule 13d-5 thereunder. 



 

	 	(f)	 “Registration Statement” means the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-[•])[, that became effective on August [•], 2022]. 


  

	 	(g)	 “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint
venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and a government or any department or agency thereof. 


  

	 	(h)	 “Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the Trading Market.



  

	 	(i)	 “Trading Market” means the principal securities exchange or securities market,
including an over-the-counter market, on which the Common Stock is then traded in the United States. 



 

	 	(j)	 “Weighted Average Price” means, for any security as of any date, the dollar
volume-weighted average price for such security on the Trading Market during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., 



  
 1 













 
New York City time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York City time, as reported by Bloomberg through its “Volume at Price” function or, if the foregoing does not apply, the dollar
volume-weighted average price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security during the period beginning at 9:30:01
a.m., New York City time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York City time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no dollar volume-weighted average price is reported for such security by Bloomberg for such hours, the average of the highest closing bid
price and the lowest closing ask price of any of the market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting
prices). If the Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Weighted Average Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company
and the Holder. If the Company and the Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 6(n) with the term “Weighted Average Price”
being substituted for the term “Exercise Price.” All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during such period. 

Section 2. Issuance of Securities; The Warrant, as initially issued by the Company, is offered and sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. As
of the Original Issue Date, the Warrant Shares are offered under the Registration Statement. Accordingly, the Warrant and, assuming an exchange meeting the requirements of Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act as in effect on
the Issue Date, the Warrant Shares, are not “restricted securities” under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company shall register ownership of this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose
(the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder (which shall include the initial Holder or, as the case may be, any assignee to which this Warrant is assigned pursuant to the terms hereunder) from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary. 

Section 3. Exercise.  
  

	 	(a)	 Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Issue Date by delivery (whether via facsimile or otherwise) to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to
the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the Warrant Register) of a duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”) and by payment to the Company of an amount
equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares thereby purchased by wire transfer (or by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined below) in accordance with
Section 3(c) hereof). The aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except for the Exercise Price, was pre-funded to the Company on or before the Issue Date, and consequently no
additional consideration (other than the Exercise Price) shall be required by to be paid by the Holder to effect any exercise of this Warrant. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall
any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the
Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares, if any. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this
Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than
the amount stated on the face hereof.  



  
 2 














	 	(b)	 Mechanics of Exercise. 



 

	 	(i)	 Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. Certificates for Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be
transmitted to the Holder or its designee by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian
(“DWAC”) system if the Company is then a participant in such system, or if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (the “FAST Program”), and otherwise
by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is two Trading Days after the receipt by the Company of the Notice of Exercise (provided that payment of the Exercise Price (or notification of
Cashless Exercise, if applicable) has then been received by the Company) (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised upon proper delivery of the Notice of Exercise and
payment of the Exercise Price (or notification of Cashless Exercise) in accordance with the terms hereof. Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the
Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (or notification of Cashless Exercise, if applicable) is received
on the same Trading Day as the Notice of Exercise. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable.



  

	 	(ii)	 Delivery of New Warrant Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company
shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to
purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant. 


  

	 	(iii)	 Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares
Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3(b)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Holder to the Company), and if
after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the
Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall either (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which
(x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was
required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, or (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion
of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the
Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an
attempted exercise of this Warrant with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. Nothing herein
shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.




  
 3 














	 	(iv)	 No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fractions
in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the nearest whole share. 


  

	 	(v)	 Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to
the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in
such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be
accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all
transfer agent fees required for any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the DTC (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares. 



 

	 	(vi)	 Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which
prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof. 


  

	 	(c)	 Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may exercise
this Warrant, whether in whole or in part, and in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Exercise Price, by effecting a cashless exercise of this Warrant pursuant to
which the Holder shall receive upon such cashless exercise the “Net Number” of Warrant Shares determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”): 



Net Number =        (A x B) - (A x C)      

                       
                     B 
 For
purposes of the foregoing formula: 
  

	 	A	 = the total number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.



  

	 	B	 = the Weighted Average Price of the shares of Common Stock on the date immediately preceding the date of the
Notice of Exercise. 


  

	 	C	 = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.



 If Warrant Shares are issued in such a Cashless Exercise, the Company acknowledges and agrees that in accordance with
Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrant being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant being exercised may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrant
Shares. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 3(c). 

  
 4 














	 	(d)	 Holder’s Exercise Limitations. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, at any
time or times on or after the Issue Date; provided, however, that if such exercise would result in the Holder acquiring beneficial ownership of Warrant Shares (together with all other equity of the Company owned by the Holder at such
time) with a value of or in excess of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), notification threshold applicable to the Holder (the “HSR Threshold”), and no
exemption to filing a notice and report form under the HSR Act is applicable, then only such portion of this Warrant, which when exercised does not exceed the HSR Threshold, shall be exercisable and the applicable Notice of Exercise shall be deemed
to relate only to such portion of this Warrant, and the remaining portion of this Warrant in excess of the HSR Threshold shall not be exercisable until the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting periods or receipt of applicable
approval. 


  

	 	(e)	 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any section herein, the Company shall not effect any
exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares in excess of that number of Warrant Shares which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause (i) the aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Attribution Parties, to exceed 19.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company following such exercise or (ii) the combined voting
power of the securities of the Company beneficially owned by the Holder and its Attribution Parties to exceed 19.99% of the combined voting power of all of the securities of the Company then outstanding following such exercise. For purposes of this
Section 3(e), the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock or voting securities beneficially owned by the Holder and its Attribution Parties shall include the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (x) exercise of the remaining unexercised
and non-cancelled portion of this Warrant by the Holder or any of its Attribution Parties and (y) exercise or conversion of the
unexercised, non-converted or non-cancelled portion of any other securities of the Company that do not have voting power (including without
limitation any securities of the Company which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including without limitation any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock), is subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein and is beneficially owned by the Holder or
any of its Attribution Parties. 


 Section 4. Certain Adjustments. 

 

	 	(a)	 Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the
Company subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any
adjustment under this Section 4(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. 



 

	 	(b)	 Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to
Section 4(a) above, if during such time as this Warrant is outstanding the Company grants, issues or sells any rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property, in each case pro rata to the record holders of
any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired
if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or
sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights




  
 5 














	 	
(provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties collectively beneficially
owning in excess of (i) 19.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise or (ii) the HSR Threshold, then the Holder shall not be
entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder
until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding (i) the Maximum Percentage or (ii) HSR Threshold). 


 

	 	(c)	 Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or
make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of any class of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or
other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (other than as a result of a stock dividend covered by
Section 4(a) above) (a “Distribution”), then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if
the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no
such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such
Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding (i) the Maximum Percentage or (ii) HSR Threshold, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the
beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not
result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding (i) the Maximum Percentage or (ii) HSR Threshold). 


  

	 	(d)	 Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) the Company,
directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions, effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to
such merger or consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately after such merger or consolidation, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease,
license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition to another Person of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any direct or indirect purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer
(whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of capital stock who tender shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company and the Company or such other Person, as
applicable, accepts such tender for payment, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions, consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization,
recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company (except for any such
transaction in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction maintain, in substantially the same proportions, the voting power of such Person immediately after the transaction) or (v) the Company, directly or
indirectly, in one or more related transactions, effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for
other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 4(a) above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”),
then following such Fundamental Transaction the Holder shall have the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as 



  
 6 














	 	
it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant
Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein (the “Alternate Consideration”); provided, however, that for the purposes of clause
(ii) above, a “Fundamental Transaction” shall not include the Company entering into a license or other agreement that licenses any intellectual property to an unaffiliated and unrelated Person so long as the Company and its
subsidiaries continue to have bona fide, substantial and continuing business operations and activities after such license or other agreement is entered into. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be
appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among
the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a
Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Any such payment of such amount of such Alternative
Consideration shall be made in the same form of consideration (whether securities, cash or property) as is given to the holders of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and if multiple forms of consideration are given, the consideration
shall be paid to the Holder in the same proportion as such consideration is paid to the holders of Common Stock. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or
surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (d) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall not effect any
Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the Alternate Consideration includes securities of another Person unless (i) the Alternate Consideration is solely cash and the Company provides for the simultaneous
“cashless exercise” of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(c) or (ii) prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or other Person (including any
purchaser of assets of the Company) shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations under this
Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (d) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions analogous of a Fundamental Transaction type. 

  

	 	(e)	 Calculations. All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the
nearest cent or the nearest whole share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 4, any calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall not include
treasury shares, if any. 


  

	 	(f)	 Par Value. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, in no event shall the Exercise
Price be reduced below the par value of the Company’s Common Stock. 


 Section 5. Transfer of Warrant. Subject to
compliance with all applicable securities laws, the Company shall, or will cause its Transfer Agent to, register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, and payment for all
applicable transfer taxes (if any) by the Holder. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”) evidencing the
portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee, and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by
the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant. The Company shall, or will cause its Transfer Agent to,
prepare, issue and deliver at the Company’s own expense any New Warrant under this Section 5. Until due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the registered Holder hereof as the owner and
holder for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. 

  
 7 













 Section 6. Miscellaneous. 

 

	 	(a)	 No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. Except as expressly set forth in
Section 4, this Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 3. In
addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. 


  

	 	(b)	 Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it, and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant
or stock certificate. 


  

	 	(c)	 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the
expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day. 



 

	 	(d)	 Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will
reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise
contained herein). The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable
law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue
thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue). Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its
certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action (including any Fundamental Transaction), in each case, avoid or seek to
avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and 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 as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise
immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant
and (iii) use its reasonable best 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. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares 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 thereof.

	 	(e)	 Governing Law. 



 

	 	(i)	 This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without
giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. 



 

	 	(ii)	 Each of the Company and the Holder irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant and the transactions contemplated herein, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the Company and the Holder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in
respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the Company and the Holder hereto agrees that a final judgment in
any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 


  

	 	(iii)	 Each of the Company and the Holder irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant and the transactions contemplated herein in any court referred to in
Section 6(e)(ii) hereof. Each of the Company and the Holder hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding
in any such court. 


  

	 	(iv)	 EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH OF THE
COMPANY AND THE HOLDER (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS WARRANT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 



 

	 	(f)	 Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on
the part of the Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any
provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

If to the Holder: 

To the address, email address or facsimile number set forth in the Warrant Register, or as otherwise provided by the Holder to the Company in
accordance with this Section 6(g)(i). 
  

	 	(ii)	 Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares is adjusted
pursuant to any provision of Section 5, the Company shall promptly provide the Holder a notice setting forth the Company’s good faith adjustment of the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares after such adjustment
and setting forth a description of the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and a detailed statement of the facts upon which such adjustment is based. 



 

	 	(iii)	 Notice to Allow Exercise by the Holder. After the Issue Date, if (A) the Company shall declare a
dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, including any Distribution, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall
authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, including any Purchase Right, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the
Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (which, for the
avoidance of doubt, shall not include a license or other agreement granting rights to intellectual property), or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, including any Fundamental
Transaction, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it
shall appear upon the Warrant Register, at least ten calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, 



  
 10 














	 	
redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption,
rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of
the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that
the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the
period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein. 

  

	 	(h)	 Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to
exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company,
whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. 


  

	 	(i)	 Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including
recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights 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 to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise”
pursuant to Section 3(c) herein or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 3(b)(iii), in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.



  

	 	(j)	 Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and
obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the
benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares. 


  

	 	(k)	 Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written
consent of the Company and the Holder. 


  

	 	(l)	 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 provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant. 


  

	 	(m)	 Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the
arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations in writing within two Business Days of receipt of the Notice of Exercise giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be,
to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares within three Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted
to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two Business Days submit in writing (i) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder or
(ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause, at its expense, the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the
determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the 



  
 11 














	 	
results no later than ten Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as
the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. The expenses of the investment bank and accountant will be borne by the Company unless the investment bank or accountant determines that the determination of the Exercise
Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares by the Company was correct and such determination by the Holder was incorrect, in which case the expenses of the investment bank and accountant will be borne by the Holder. 


 

	 	(n)	 Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for
any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
