    BIONANO GENOMICS, INC.

     

    PRE-FUNDED WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

     

    Warrant No.:  _______

    Number of Shares of Common Stock:  _________

    Date of Issuance:  [ ], 2020 (“Issuance Date”)

     

    Bionano Genomics, Inc., a company organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt
      and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [HOLDER], the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company,
      at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, at any time or times on or after [        ] (the “Initial Exercisability Date”),

      until exercised in full (the “Termination Date”), ________________ (______________) fully paid non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below), subject to
      adjustment as provided herein (the “Warrant Shares”).  Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any
      Pre-Funded Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Warrant”), shall have the meanings set forth in Section 16.  This Warrant is one of the Pre-Funded Warrants
      to Purchase Common Stock (the “Warrants”) issued pursuant to (i) that certain Underwriting Agreement, dated as of [        ], 2020 (the “Subscription Date”) by and between the Company and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., as representative of the several underwriters named therein, (ii) the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File number 333-237074) (the “Registration Statement”) and (iii) the Company’s prospectus dated as of [        ], 2020.

     

    1.          EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

     

    (a)          Mechanics of Exercise.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in
        Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercisability Date, in whole or in part, by delivery (whether via facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form
        attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant.  Within one (1) Trading Day following the delivery of
        the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall make payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds or, if the provisions of Section 1(d) are
        applicable, by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)).  The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder, nor
        shall any ink-original signature or medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) with respect to any Exercise Notice be required.  Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares
        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 and the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to
        the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading
        Days of the date on which the final Exercise Notice is delivered to the Company.  On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Holder has delivered the applicable Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile
        or electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice, in the form attached to the Exercise Notice, to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”).  So long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise, if applicable) on or prior to the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Exercise Notice
        has been delivered to the Company, then on or prior to the earlier of (i) the second (2nd) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period, in each case following the date on which the Exercise Notice has
        been delivered to the Company, or, if the Holder does not deliver the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise, if applicable) on or prior to the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Exercise Notice has been
        delivered to the Company, then on or prior to the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) is delivered (such earlier date, or if later, the earliest day on which the
        Company is required to deliver Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 1(a), the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X)
        provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is
        entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer
        Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the physical address or email address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate or evidence of a credit of book-entry shares, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the
        number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise.  The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent and all fees and expenses with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares via DTC,
        if any, including without limitation for same day processing.  Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record and beneficial owner of the Warrant Shares with respect
        to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be.  If this Warrant is
        physically delivered to the Company in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon
        an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section
        7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.  No fractional Warrant Shares
        are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.  The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and
        expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver
        Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof,
        the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to deliver Warrant
        Shares with respect to an exercise prior to the Holder’s delivery of the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) with respect to such exercise.

     

    
      
        

    

    
    

    

     

    

    

     

    (b)          Exercise Price.  The aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except for a nominal exercise price of $0.001 per Warrant Share,
        was pre-funded to the Company on or prior to the Initial Exercise date and, consequently, no additional consideration (other than the nominal exercise price of $0.001 per Warrant Share) shall be required to be paid by the Holder to any Person to
        effect any exercise of this Warrant.  The Holder shall not be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-paid aggregate Exercise Price under any circumstance or for any reason whatsoever, including in the event this
        Warrant shall not have been exercised prior to the Termination Date.  The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.001, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

     

    (c)          Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities.  If either (I) the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to
        the Holder on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date, if (x) the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, a certificate or evidence of a book-entry credit for the number of shares of Common
        Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such Common Stock on the Company’s share register or (y) the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC,
        for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant or (II) a registration statement (which may be the Registration Statement) covering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares
        that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Exercise Notice Warrant Shares”) is
        not available for the issuance or resale, as applicable, of such Exercise Notice Warrant Shares and (x) the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after such registration statement becomes unavailable, to so
        notify the Holder and (y) the Company is unable to deliver the Exercise Notice Warrant Shares electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Exercise Notice Warrant Shares to the Holder’s or its designee’s
        balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “Notice Failure” and together with the event described in clause (I) above, an “Exercise Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the
        Holder, if on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate or evidence of a
        book-entry credit to the Holder and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC
        for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below or (II) if a Notice Failure occurs, 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 (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, and (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 shares of Common Stock 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.  The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable
        to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including,
        without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.  The Company’s
        current transfer agent participates in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”).  In the event that the Company changes transfer agents while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall
        use commercially reasonable efforts to select a transfer agent that participates in FAST.  While this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall request its transfer agent to participate in FAST with respect to this Warrant.  In addition to the
        foregoing rights, (i) if the Company fails to deliver the applicable number of Warrant Shares upon an exercise pursuant to Section 1 by the applicable Share Delivery Date, then the Holder shall have the right to rescind such exercise in whole or in
        part and retain and/or have the Company return, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the rescission of an exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligation to
        make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise, and (ii) if a registration statement (which may be the Registration Statement) covering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares
        that are subject to an Exercise Notice is not available for the issuance or resale, as applicable, of such Exercise Notice Warrant Shares and the Holder has submitted an Exercise Notice prior to receiving notice of the non-availability of such
        registration statement and the Company has not already delivered the Warrant Shares underlying such Exercise Notice electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled
        pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, the Holder shall have the option, by delivery of notice to the Company, to (x) rescind such Exercise Notice
        in whole or in part and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the rescission of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s
        obligation to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise, and/or (y) switch some or all of such Exercise Notice from a cash exercise to a Cashless Exercise.  In addition to the
        foregoing, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to an Exercise Notice by the second Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated
        damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day
        on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the second Trading Day following such Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise.

    (d)          Cashless Exercise.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a registration statement (which may be the
        Registration Statement) covering the issuance or resale of the Exercise Notice Warrant Shares is not available for the issuance or resale, as applicable, of such Exercise Notice Warrant Shares, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this
        Warrant 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 Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of
        shares of Common Stock 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 with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

     

    B= as applicable:  (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such
      Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours”
      (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the Weighted Average Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the
      applicable Exercise Notice or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within
      two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof or (iii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if
      the date of such Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day.

     

    
      3

      
        

    

    

    

     

    C= $0.001, as adjusted hereunder.

     

    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 of 1933, as amended, the
      Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrants 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 1(d).  Without limiting the rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise,” and to receive the cash payments contemplated pursuant to Sections 1(c) and 4(b), in no event will the Company be
      required to net cash settle a Warrant exercise.

     

    (e)          Disputes.  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 promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 11.

     

    (f)          Beneficial Ownership.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any
        portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent
        that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of [4.99][9.99]% (the “Maximum Percentage”)

        of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution
        Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such
        sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties
        and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including the other Warrants)
        beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(f).  For purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be
        calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”).  For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the
        number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the
        Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as the case may
        be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”).  If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of
        outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would
        otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(f), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise
        Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the
        Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares.  For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to
        the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this
        Warrant, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported.  In the event that the issuance of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder
        and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so
        issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null
        and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares.  As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall
        return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares.  Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess
        of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will
        apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Warrants that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder.  For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant
        in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act.  No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to
        this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise
        than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in
        this Section l(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.  The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

    (g)          Required Reserve Amount.  So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance
        under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under the Warrants then
        outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise) (the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided that at no time
        shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 1(g) be reduced other than in connection with any exercise of Warrants or such other event covered by Section 2(c) below.  The Required Reserve Amount (including, without
        limitation, each increase in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Warrants based on the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants held by each holder thereof on the
        Issuance Date (without regard to any limitations on exercise) (the “Authorized Share Allocation”).  In the event that a holder
        shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Warrants, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation.  Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to
        hold any Warrants shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Warrants, pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then held by such holders thereof (without regard to any limitations on
        exercise).

     

    (h)          Insufficient Authorized Shares.  If at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient
        number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall promptly take all action reasonably necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required
        Reserve Amount for this Warrant then outstanding.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after
        the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.  In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide
        each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that
        they approve such proposal.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to
        approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C.

    2.          ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES.  The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted
        from time to time as follows:

     

    (a)          Intentionally omitted.

     

    (b)          Intentionally omitted.

     

    (c)          Adjustment Upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.  If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date
        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.  If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date 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 2(c) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

     

    3.          RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.  In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if, on or after the Subscription
        Date and on or prior to the Termination Date, the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders 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, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or
        other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, 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 or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including
        without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on 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, that 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 the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder
        shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and the portion
        of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the
        Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

    4.          PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

     

    (a)          Purchase Rights.  In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time on or after the Subscription Date and
        on or prior to the Termination Date the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class 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 or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum
        Percentage) 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 Common Stock are to be determined for the grant,
        issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that 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 exceeding the Maximum
        Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such
        extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage,
        at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had
        been no such limitation).

     

    (b)          Fundamental Transaction.  The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity
        assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b), including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity
        evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock
        acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares
        of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such
        exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction).  Upon the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed
        to, and be substituted for the Company (so that from and after the date of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor
        Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.  Upon consummation of
        each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares
        of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the
        applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental
        Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. 
        Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Section l(f) hereof, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 4(b) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption
        of this Warrant.  In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other
        assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will
        thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Termination Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities,
        cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of
        stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) (collectively, the “Corporate Event Consideration”) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental
        Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant).  The provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Holders.  The provisions of this
        Section 4(b) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events.

    5.          NONCIRCUMVENTION.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
        Incorporation or Bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, 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 carry out all of the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder.  Without limiting the generality of the
        foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in
        order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and
        keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the
        Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

    6.          WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person’s
        capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder,
        solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification
        of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive
        upon the due exercise of this Warrant.  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.  Notwithstanding this Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of
        the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.

     

    7.          REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.

     

    (a)          Transfer of Warrant.  If this Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the
        Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the
        Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being
        transferred.

     

    (b)          Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss,
        theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form (but without the obligation to post a bond) and, in the case of
        mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.

     

    
      9

      
        

    

    

    

     

    (c)          Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants.  This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office
        of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to
        purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.

     

    (d)          Issuance of New Warrants.  Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new
        Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant
        to Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant
        Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.

     

    8.          NOTICES.  Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, including, without limitation, an Exercise Notice, unless
        otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in writing, (i) if delivered (a) from within the domestic United States, by first-class registered or certified airmail, or nationally recognized overnight express courier, postage prepaid,
        electronic mail or by facsimile or (b) from outside the United States, by International Federal Express, electronic mail or facsimile, and (ii) will be deemed given (A) if delivered by first-class registered or certified mail domestic, three (3)

    (ii)          if to the Holder, at such address or other contact information delivered by the Holder to Company or as is on the books and records of
        the Company.

     

    The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Warrant, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor. 
      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will give written notice to the Holder (i) immediately upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment and
      (ii) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the shares of Common Stock, (B) with respect to any grants, issuances or sales of any
      Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property to holders of shares of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation; provided
      in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder.  It is expressly understood and agreed that the time of exercise specified by the Holder in each Exercise
      Notice shall be definitive and may not be disputed or challenged by the Company.

     

    9.          AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended or waived and the Company
        may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holder.

     

    10.          GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; JURY TRIAL.  This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all
        questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule
        (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York.  The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
        federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees
        not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or
        proceeding is improper.  The Company hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to the Company at the address set forth in Section 8
        (i) above or such other address as the Company subsequently delivers to the Holder and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any
        way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on
        the Company’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder.  If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding
        to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation
        and prosecution of such action or proceeding.  THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION
          WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

    11.          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 via facsimile or electronic mail within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Notice or other event 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 (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation
        being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile or electronic mail (a) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company
        and approved by the Holder or (b) 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 results no later than ten (10) 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.

     

    12.          REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.  The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in
        addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and any other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder
        to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for
        any such breach may be inadequate.  The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any
        breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

     

    13.          TRANSFER.  This Warrant and the Warrant Shares may be offered for sale, sold, transferred, pledged or assigned without the consent
        of the Company.

     

    14.          SEVERABILITY; CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS.  If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid
        or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or
        unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the
        subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the
        benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.  The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as
        possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).  This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof.  The headings of this
        Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.

    15.          DISCLOSURE.  Upon receipt or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, unless the
        Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its subsidiaries, the Company shall contemporaneously with any such receipt or delivery
        publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise.  In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its subsidiaries, the
        Company so shall indicate to such Holder contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, the Holder shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material,
        nonpublic information relating to the Company or its subsidiaries.

     

    16.          CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.  For purposes of this Warrant, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

     

    (a)          “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly
        controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person, it being understood for purposes of this definition that “control” of a Person means the power directly or indirectly either to vote 10% or more of the stock having ordinary
        voting power for the election of directors of such Person or direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person whether by contract or otherwise.

     

    (b)          “Attribution Parties” means, collectively, the following
        Persons and entities:  (i) any investment vehicle, including, any funds, feeder funds or managed accounts, currently, or from time to time after the Subscription Date, directly or indirectly managed or advised by the Holder’s investment manager or
        any of its Affiliates or principals, (ii) any direct or indirect Affiliates of the Holder or any of the foregoing, (iii) any Person acting or who could be deemed to be acting as a Group together with the Holder or any of the foregoing and (iv) any
        other Persons whose beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act.  For clarity, the purpose of the foregoing is to
        subject collectively the Holder and all other Attribution Parties to the Maximum Percentage.

     

    
      13

      
        

    

    

    

     

    (c)          “Bid Price” means, for any security as of the particular time of determination, the bid price for such security on the Principal Market as reported by Bloomberg as of such time of determination, or, if the Principal
        Market is not the principal securities exchange or trading market for such security, the bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg as of such
        time of determination, or if the foregoing does not apply, the bid price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg as of such time of determination, or, if no bid
        price is reported for such security by Bloomberg as of such time of determination, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by OTC Markets Group Inc.  (formerly Pink Sheets LLC) as of
        such time of determination.  If the Bid Price cannot be calculated for a security as of the particular time of determination on any of the foregoing bases, the Bid Price of such security as of such time of determination 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 in accordance with the procedures in Section 11.  All
        such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during such period.

     

    (d)          “Bloomberg” means Bloomberg Financial Markets.

     

    (e)          “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday

        entities with the authority or voting power to elect the members of the board of directors (or their equivalent if other than a corporation) of such entity or entities) after such reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification, (ii) pursuant
        to a migratory merger effected solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company or (iii) a merger in connection with a bona fide acquisition by the Company of any Person in which (x) the gross consideration paid,
        directly or indirectly, by the Company in such acquisition is not greater than 20% of the Company’s market capitalization as calculated on the date of the consummation of such merger and (y) such merger does not contemplate a change to the identity
        of a majority of the board of directors of the Company.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any transaction or series of transactions that, directly or indirectly, results in the Company or the Successor Entity not having Common Stock

 A Participant who
fails to return the completed Acceptance Form before the expiry of the Confirmation Period will be deemed to have refused the Offer and the Restricted Stock Units. 
  

	3	 Nature and characteristics of the Restricted Stock Units 

 

	3.1	 Vesting 

The Restricted Stock Units are subject to a Vesting Period as further described in the Offer Letter. 

On or shortly after the Vesting Date, AB InBev will deliver one Share per Restricted Stock Unit held by the Participant, subject to the
provisions of these terms and conditions. Unless explicitly set forth otherwise in these terms and conditions, Restricted Stock Units do not confer any shareholder’s rights. 

At the request of the Participant, AB InBev may deliver ADSs listed on the New York Stock Exchange in lieu of Shares upon vesting of
the Restricted Stock Units. To this end, Participants will need to indicate in writing to optionmanager@inbev.com before the Vesting Date that they want to be delivered ADSs in lieu of Shares. If a Participant requests to receive ADSs, all
applicable references to Shares in the Plan, the Offer Letter and the Acceptance Form, shall mean ADSs with respect to such Participant. 
  

	3.2	 Dividend protection 

Restricted Stock Units entitle their holder to a dividend equivalent during the Vesting Period, which represents an amount equal to the
gross dividend paid by AB InBev on the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units. This dividend equivalent will be granted to the Participants shortly after the payment of the dividend, in the form of additional Restricted Stock Units with the
same vesting conditions and governed by the same terms and conditions as the original Restricted Stock Units. 
 The number of
additional Restricted Stock Units to which a Participant is entitled upon payment of a dividend on the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units will be calculated by AB InBev. The number will be equal to the amount of the gross dividend

  
  

5 

 
divided by the closing share price on Euronext Brussels of the AB InBev Share on the dividend payment date and multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock Units that the Participants holds. The
result of this calculation will be rounded down to the closest unit. 
  

	3.3	 Transferability 

Except for transfers as a result of death (see Clause 6.7 below), Restricted Stock Units may not be transferred or encumbered with any
security, pledge or other right, or otherwise pass to any third party. 
  

	4	 Nature and characteristics of the underlying Shares 

 

	4.1	 General 

The Shares to be delivered to the holders of Restricted Stock Units upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units are existing ordinary
Shares of AB InBev with all rights and benefits generally attached to such Shares. AB InBev will, at its discretion, deliver Shares in dematerialised (electronic or book-entry) form or in registered form. 

 

	4.2	 Dividends 

The Shares delivered upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units give the right to the dividends paid on such Shares decided by AB InBev
after the Vesting Date. 
  

	4.3	 Transferability 

Unless agreed otherwise between the Participant and AB InBev, the Shares delivered upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units are not
subject to any transfer restrictions under the rules of the Plan. 
  

	5	 Expenses and taxes 

All costs related to the attribution of the Restricted Stock Units, the attribution of the additional Restricted Stock Units referred
to in Clause 3.2 above and the delivery of the underlying Shares will be borne by AB InBev, except taxes on stock exchange transactions and income and social security taxes on the income received by the Participants in connection with the delivery
or the ownership of the Restricted Stock Units and with the delivery of the underlying Shares or ADSs. AB InBev may withhold from any payment or delivery of Shares or ADSs any income or social security taxes that are required to be withheld under
any applicable law, rule or regulation. 
  

	6	 Expiry of the Restricted Stock Units before the Vesting Date and situation upon termination of employment

  

	6.1	 Malus adjustment 

When conduct that occurred in the period during which the Participant is or was responsible for such conduct contributes to a Material
Adverse Decision or a Material Breach of our Code of Business Conduct before the Vesting Date the Restricted Stock Units held by such Participant under this Plan will automatically expire and become null and void. 

 

	6.2	 Dismissal for Serious Cause 

  
  

6 

 Upon Dismissal for Serious Cause of a Participant before the Vesting Date all
Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant on the date of the end of employment, will automatically expire and become null and void. 

The above rules apply notwithstanding any recourse which might be introduced by a dismissed Participant against such Dismissal. 

 

	6.3	 Resignation before cumulated age of 70 

Without prejudice to Clause 6.7 below, in the case of Resignation before a cumulated age of 70 (i.e. the sum, on the date of the end of
employment, of (i) the age of the Participant and (ii) the number of years of employment of the Participant within the AB InBev Group) of a Participant before the Vesting Date all Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant on the date
of the end of employment, will automatically expire and become null and void. 
 The above rules apply notwithstanding any recourse
which might be introduced by a Participant. 
  

	6.4	 Termination of employment before cumulated age of 70 

Without prejudice to Clause 6.7 below, in the case of termination of employment - other than a termination of employment resulting from
a Resignation or a Dismissal for Serious Cause - before a cumulated age of 70 (i.e. the sum, on the date of the end of employment, of (i) the age of the Participant and (ii) the number of years of employment of the Participant within the
AB InBev Group) of a Participant before the Vesting Date: 
  

	 	6.4.1	 if employment ends before the end of the second year following the Grant Date, all Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant will
automatically expire and become null and void;

Notwithstanding Clauses 6.3 to 6.6 above, in the case of death of a Participant or termination of employment following permanent
disability of a Participant before the Vesting Date: 
  

	 	6.7.1	 the Vesting Period referred to in Clause 2.1 will automatically expire and all Restricted Stock Units will automatically vest provided
that, in the case of permanent disability and if so requested by Anheuser-Busch InBev, the Participant enters into a non-competition agreement. The modalities of the

(if applicable) shortly after the Participant’s death or to the Participant shortly after the termination of the Participant’s employment following permanent disability. 

Except as provided in Clause 6.8 below, the notion of “permanent disability” is to be defined by reference to the law
governing the employment in the relevant jurisdiction of the Participant 
  

	6.8	 Notwithstanding Clause 6.7 above, for Participants subject to taxation in the United States, “permanent
disability” shall mean at least one of the following:

can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the
Participant’s AB InBev employer; or 

  

	 	6.8.3	 the Participant is determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration. 

 

	6.9	 In deviation from Clause 6.7 above, in the case of termination of employment of a Participant who is subject

will vest on the Vesting Date. 

  

	7	 Administration of the Plan 

 

	7.1	 Delegation to the Committee 

The Board of Directors may delegate part or all powers under the Plan to the Committee. In the case of a delegation of powers, the
Committee shall: (i) be responsible for the general administration of the Plan in accordance with the provisions thereof, under the supervision of the Board of Directors; and (ii) be authorised to establish rules for the administration,
interpretation and application of the Plan and, if necessary, to interpret, amend and cancel these rules, in compliance with these terms and conditions. 

  
  

9 

 In the case of a delegation of powers, the Board of Directors will retain full
authority to exercise all the rights and obligations of the Committee under the Plan at any time whatsoever, or to delegate them to another committee constituted by the Board of Directors. 

 

	7.2	 (Sub-)delegation to any third party 

The Board of Directors and the Committee may (sub-)delegate certain well-specified powers to any third party they deem appropriate. 

In the case of a (sub-)delegation of powers, the Board of Directors and the Committee will retain full authority to exercise all the
rights and obligations so delegated. 
  

	8	 Amendment to the capital structure and anti-dilution measures 

AB InBev expressly reserves the right to proceed with corporate changes that have an impact on its capital, such as capital increases,
including by incorporation of reserves in the capital, capital decreases, issuance of convertible bonds, subscription rights or options, stock splits or reverse stock splits, combinations or reclassifications of the Shares, mergers, (partial)
demergers, as well as the right to amend the clauses in the articles of association governing the allocation of profits or liquidation boni. 

In the event that such corporate changes would have an unfavourable effect on the Restricted Stock Units, the number of Restricted Stock
Units and/or the number of Shares to which the Restricted Stock Units give rights will be adjusted for the purpose of safeguarding the interests of the holders of Restricted Stock Units, in the manner determined at the sole discretion of the Board
of Directors, subject to any required action by the Shareholders’ Meeting of AB InBev. The terms of such adjustment will be communicated to the Participants in due time. 

In the event that AB InBev would be merged into another company, the rights and obligations of AB InBev under the Plan will
automatically be transferred to the absorbing company and the Restricted Stock Units will no longer give the Participants the right to Shares but instead the right to shares of the absorbing company, subject to applicable law and to any applicable
corporate approval. The number of shares of the absorbing company to which each Restricted Stock Units will give right will be determined at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and/or the board of directors of the absorbing company and
will be communicated to the Participants in due time. 
  

	9	 Electronic register, electronic evidence and electronic delivery 

 

	9.1	 Electronic Share and RSU register 

The Shares and Restricted Stock Units will be recorded in a register, which may be in electronic form and the maintenance of which may
be delegated by AB InBev to a third party. 
  

	9.2	 Electronic evidence 

Electronic approvals, instructions, orders, statements and communications between a Participant, AB InBev, AB InBev affiliates and any
third party to which powers have been sub-delegated by AB InBev for the administration of the Plan will have the same legal status as written approvals, instructions, orders, statements and communications. The
written recording or the written reproduction of electronic approvals, instructions, orders, 

  
  

10 

 
statements and communications received by AB InBev, AB InBev affiliates and any third party to which powers have been sub-delegated by AB InBev for the
administration of the Plan, will constitute conclusive evidence between the Participant, AB InBev, AB InBev affiliates and any third party to which powers have been sub-delegated by AB InBev for the
administration of the Plan, unless evidence to the contrary is provided by the Participant. 
  

	9.3	 Consent to electronic delivery 

As a condition to receiving the Restricted Stock Units, each Participant consents to delivery of all subsequent information relating to
the Restricted Stock Units by electronic means, including e-mails to the Participants and postings on AB InBev’s website or intranet. Such information may include, amongst others, financial information
concerning AB InBev. In order to access such information, Participants will be required to access AB InBev’s e-mail system, website and/or intranet. By returning the Acceptance Form, Participants are
deemed to acknowledge that they have such access to the e-mail system of AB InBev, to AB InBev’s website and intranet and ordinarily use them in the ordinary course of their employment. Participants may
obtain paper copies of any such information by submitting a request to receive paper copies to their respective People Department. 
  

	10	 Matrimonial regime

also unilaterally modify the terms and conditions when such modifications are required to comply with any change in legislation. 
  

	13	 Nature of the Plan 

Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary included in the terms and conditions, the Offer Letter, the Acceptance Form or any other
document relating to the Plan: 
  

	13.1	 the grant of Shares and/or Restricted Stock Units to the Participant in the framework of the Plan is unrelated
to his occupational pension rights or pension claims, so that this grant cannot affect these occupational pension rights and claims; 

  

	13.2	 the Plan, the terms and conditions, the Offer Letter, the Acceptance Form or any other document relating to the
Plan do not confer upon the Participant any right to continued employment for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of AB InBev or its subsidiaries to terminate the Participant’s
employment according to the applicable regulations in respect of termination thereof; 

  
  

11 

	13.3	 the grant of Restricted Stock Units cannot be considered as a right acquired for the future.

  

	14	 Privacy and processing of Personal Data 

To enable the proper set-up and management of the Plan and the RSU register, Personal Data about
each Participant will need to be collected and used. This Section 14 sets out the obligations of Anheuser-Busch InBev and the rights of Participants regarding any such collection and use, and provides the legally required information in this
respect. 
  

	14.1	 Identity of the person responsible for your Personal Data 

Anheuser-Busch InBev is the so-called “Data Controller”, which is responsible for the
collection and processing of Personal Data as is necessary for the setting-up and management of the Plan and the RSU register of Anheuser-Busch InBev in electronic form. 

 

	14.2	 Why and how Personal Data is collected and used 

The Personal Data will either be collected via the LTI Website or extracted from Anheuser-Busch InBev’s SAP system (or successor
thereof)1. It will be used exclusively for the purposes of the administration of the Plan and the maintenance of the RSU register of Anheuser-Busch InBev in electronic form. 

The Data Controller and any Data Processor will collect and process the Participants’ Personal Data in accordance with the Data
Protection Law. 
  

	14.3	 Nature of the Personal Data 

The following Personal Data relating to the Participants will be collected and used: 

 

	 	(i)	 their contact details (e.g. names*, private/professional* (email) addresses/phone numbers); 

 

	 	(ii)	 electronic identification data; 

 

	 	(iii)	 personal characteristics (i.e. date of birth*); 

 

	 	(iv)	 financial data (e.g. details regarding bank account); 

 

	 	(v)	 details of all rights and other entitlement to Restricted Stock Units awarded, cancelled, vested, unvested or
outstanding. 

 Generally, the processing of the above Personal Data is necessary for the setting-up and management of the Plan and Share register and the Participants are required to provide their Personal Data, except in limited instances when the Data Controller indicates that certain information is
voluntary. If the Participant refuses to provide his/her Personal Data, the Data Controller may be unable to manage participation of the Participant in the Plan. 
  

	14.4	 Other persons having access to the Personal Data and purpose thereof 

The Data Controller can transfer the Personal Data to the following categories of recipients: 

 

	 	(i)	 the provider of the LTI Website acting as Data Processor; 

 

	 	(ii)	 the employer of the Participant for the above purposes; 

 
  

	1 	 In this case, the Personal Data which are not directly collected from you are identified with an asterisk (*) below.

  
  

12

	 	(iv)	 regulatory authorities for the purposes of complying with legal obligations in connection with the Plan; and

  

	 	(v)	 any member of the Anheuser-Busch InBev group. 

Such recipients may be located in jurisdictions outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) that may not provide an
adequate level of personal data protection. In order to ensure an adequate level of protection for data transfers to such countries, the Data Controller provides appropriate safeguards by way of entering into Standard Contractual Clauses (2010/87/EU
and/or 2004/915/EC) or other adequate means (such as binding corporate rules). 
 The Participant may request a copy of, or
information about, the appropriate safeguards provided for the transfers, by contacting the Anheuser-Busch InBev Compliance Team through
globalcompliance@ab-inbev.com. 

 

	14.5	 Legal basis allowing Anheuser-Busch InBev to collect and use Personal Data 

The processing and sharing of the Participant’s Personal Data for the purposes set out in Section 14.2 is justified on the
following legal bases: (i) the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the Participant is a party or in order to take steps at the request of the Participant prior to entering into such contract, (ii) the
processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which the Data Controller is subject, or (iii) the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Data Controller or by a third party, which are
not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the Participant, it being noted that such legitimate interests include implementing and offering Anheuser-Busch InBev Plan and setting-up
an Option and Share register. 
  

	14.6	 Rights of the Participants 

In the conditions set forth under applicable Data Protection Law, the Participant can exercise his/her right to request access to and
rectification or erasure of his/her Personal Data or restriction of processing concerning the Participant or to object to processing as well as the right to data portability by sending a written request to

	15	 Severability

provision will be deemed not to form part of this
