2. Base Rent, Security Deposit and Renewal.

 B.
Provided this Lease is in full force and effect and the Tenant shall not be in default hereunder, Tenant may renew and extend this Lease for five (5) years from August 1, 2023 by notice in writing delivered to Landlord by November 1,
2022. All of the covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease shall thereupon be applicable during said additional five (5) year term except that the amount of the base rent to be paid by the Tenant to Landlord shall be adjusted to
reflect the current market rental for similar space in the immediate area. The market rental shall be determined by a representative of the Tenant and a representative of the Landlord. Such market rental shall be agreed to by the fifteenth
(15th) day after receipt of notice from Tenant to renew subject lease. The base rent paid during the renewal term will be increased three percent (3%) on an annual basis. 

This renewal is personal to the Tenant named in the Lease or any Tenant’s Affiliate as defined in Paragraph 11C. If Tenant subleases any
portion of the property or assigns or otherwise transfers any interest under the Lease to any entity other than a Tenant Affiliate prior to the exercise of the renewal (whether with or without Landlord’s consent), such renewal and any
succeeding renewal shall lapse. If Tenant subleases any portion of the property or assigns or otherwise transfers any interest of Tenant under the Lease to any entity other than a Tenant Affiliate after the exercise of renewal but prior to the
commencement of the respective extension (whether with or with out Landlord’s consent), such renewal and any succeeding renewals shall lapse and the lease term shall expire as if such renewal was not exercised. 

C. Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord, upon execution of this lease, the sum of Eighty Eight Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($88,000.00) in the form of an
unconditional, irrevocable, transferable letter of credit as security for the full and faithful performance of each and every term, provision, covenant and condition of this lease to be performed by Tenant. 

  

 Exhibit “C”, attached hereto and made a part hereof, provides the information required to be
incorporated in the letter of credit. Landlord shall have the right to draw the full amount hereof if this letter of credit has not been renewed by Tenant at least ten (10) days prior to the scheduled expiration thereof. If Tenant defaults with
respect to any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this lease including, but not limited to, payment of the base rent or other amounts due Landlord hereunder, Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the
security deposit for the payment of any such base rent or any other sum in default. If the security deposit or any part thereof shall be so used, applied or retained by Landlord, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor,
restore the balance of the letter of credit with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its amount immediately prior to Landlord’s use or application of the security, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a
material breach of this lease. If Tenant shall perform under this lease said security deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or at Landlord’s option to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder) within thirty
(30) days after the expiration of the term and Tenant’s vacation of the leased premises. Landlord may deliver the security deposited hereunder by Tenant to the purchaser of Landlord’s interest in the Building in the event that such
interest is sold, and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to said security deposit. Tenant hereby agrees not to look to any mortgagee as mortgagee, mortgagee in possession or successor in title to the
Building for any security deposit required by Landlord hereunder, unless said security deposit has actually been received by said mortgagee or successor in title as security for Tenant’s performance of this lease. 

Any letter of credit shall be issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord, shall be drawable by Landlord solely upon presentation of a
statement from Landlord that the amount drawn is due and payable under this lease, shall allow for partial draws, and shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord. The letter of credit shall have an expiry date not
earlier than one month after the termination date of this lease or shall be replaced by Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior to its expiry date with another letter having an expiry date at least one year later. If Tenant fails to replace
an expiring letter of credit or restore the letter of credit to its full amount following a draw by Landlord, Landlord may draw the full amount of the letter of credit and treat such amount as a cash security deposit. In the event of a transfer of
Landlord’s interest in the lease, Tenant will promptly deposit a replacement letter of credit drawable by Landlord’s successor and if Tenant shall fail to do so within ten (10) days of Landlord’s request, Landlord may draw the
full amount of the letter of credit and treat such amount as a cash security deposit. 
 3. Use. The demised premises shall be
continuously used by Tenant, but only for the purpose of engineering, manufacturing, receiving, storing, shipping and selling (other than at retail) products, materials and merchandise made and/or distributed by Tenant and for such other lawful
purposes as may be incidental thereto. Tenant shall at its own cost and expense obtain any and all licenses and permits necessary for any such use. The parking of automobiles, trucks or other vehicles in the areas not specifically designated on
Exhibit B (unless such other areas are designated by Landlord to be common parking areas) and the outside storage of any property (including, without limitation, overnight parking of trucks and other vehicles) are prohibited without Landlord’s
prior written consent. Tenant shall comply with all governmental laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to the use of the premises and its occupancy thereof, and shall promptly comply with all governmental orders and directives for the
correction, prevention and abatement of any violations or nuisances in or upon, or connected with, the premises, all at Tenant’s sole expense. If, as a result of any change in the governmental laws, ordinances and regulations, the premises must
be altered to lawfully accommodate Tenant’s use and occupancy thereof, such alterations shall be made only with the consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, but the entire cost thereof shall be borne by Tenant. Tenant
shall not permit any objectionable or unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise or vibrations to emanate from the premises, nor take any other action which would constitute a nuisance or would disturb or endanger any other tenants of the building in
which the premises are situated or unreasonably interfere with such tenant’s use of their respective premises or permit any use which would adversely affect the reputation of the building in which the premises are situated. Tenant will not
permit the premises to be used for any purpose (including, without limitation, the storage of merchandise) in any manner which would render the insurance thereon void or increase the insurance rate thereof, and Tenant shall immediately cease and
desist from such use, paying all cost and expense resulting from such improper use. 
 If as a result of any change in governmental laws,
ordinances or regulations the premises must be altered to lawfully accommodate any use and occupancy not specific to Tenant’s use thereof, Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall complete the alteration and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
as follows: 
 (a) The cost of the alteration shall be expensed over a ten (10) year period (re-payment period) and be repaid in equal annual payments
through the end of the lease and any subsequent period the lease may be renewed plus interest; i.e. if the alteration costs $100,000 then the annual payment would be $10,000 plus interest as outlined below in subparagraph (c). 

(b) Tenant will be billed by Landlord for the annual payment within thirty days of the date the alteration is completed. Tenant will be obligated to make
annual payments through the end of its lease term and any subsequent renewal or amended periods. 
 (c) In addition to the payment for the return of
Landlord’s capital investment for the alteration Tenant shall make an annual interest payment on the outstanding balance which will be accrued at a rate equal to the “prime rate of interest” plus 3% as published in The Wall Street
Journal, Midwest Edition, column entitled “Money Rates” (or an equivalent publication if The Wall Street Journal, Midwest Edition is not available) as of the first business day after the alteration has been completed and said interest
payment will be calculated on an annual basis for the succeeding twelve month period; i.e. if the interest rate is three percent (3%) on the first business day after the alteration is completed then the interest rate paid by Tenant on
the outstanding balance would be six percent (6%). The interest rate will then be re-set on each succeeding anniversary date after the completion of the alteration until the ten year period has expired. 

(d) By example if Landlord’s cost of the alteration for the premises is $100,000 and the alteration is completed on December 1st and the published rate of interest is 3% then the annual payment including the interest payment made by Tenant to reimburse Landlord on
January 1st would be $15,400 This amount is comprised of the payment of one tenth of the alteration, $10,000 – (as shown in a & b above) $100,000 divided by the re-payment period and
an interest payment on the outstanding balance, $5,400 – (as shown in c) 6% interest on $90,000.00. 

  

 4. Taxes. 

A. Landlord agrees to pay all general and special taxes, assessments and governmental charges of any kind and nature whatsoever (hereinafter
collectively referred to as “taxes”) lawfully levied against the real property described in Exhibit A, the building situated thereon and the grounds, parking areas, driveways and alleys around the building. If for any real estate tax year
applicable to the term hereof (or any renewal or extension of such term), Tenant’s proportionate share of such taxes levied for such tax year shall exceed the sum of One Hundred Thirty Two Thousand One Hundred Fifty-One and 74/100 Dollars
($132,151.74) (“Landlord’s share”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent upon demand at the time the bill for each installment for such tax year issues, the amount of such excess applicable to each installment less any
monthly payments paid by Tenant as provided below for such tax year. Upon the issuance of the actual bills (as distinguished from any estimated bill) for taxes to be paid in the calendar year in which the commencement date falls and upon the
issuance of such actual bills in each succeeding calendar year during the term hereof, Tenant shall, upon Landlord’s request, commencing with the first day of the month next succeeding the date on which the taxes covered by such bill are due
without penalty and on the first day of each of the next eleven months, pay as additional rent, and not as a deposit, one-twelfth ( 1/12th) of the amount by which the taxes paid in such calendar year exceeded Landlord’s share. In addition,
Tenant shall pay upon demand any fees, expenses and costs incurred by Landlord in protesting any assessments, levies or the tax rate. If during the calendar year following the calendar year in which the commencement date of this lease falls, or
during any subsequent year of the primary term or any renewal or extension, the cost to Landlord of said protesting any assessments, levies or the tax rate shall exceed Five Hundred Forty and 00/100 Dollars ($540.00), Tenant shall pay to Landlord on
demand the amount of such excess; and the failure to pay such excess upon demand shall be treated in the same manner as a default in the payment of rent hereunder when due. 

B. If at any time during the term of this lease, the present method of taxation shall be changed so that in lieu of the whole or any part of
any taxes, assessments or governmental charges levied, assessed or imposed on real estate and the improvements thereon, there shall be levied, assessed or imposed on Landlord a capital levy or other tax directly on the rents received therefrom
and/or a franchise tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents for the present or any future building or buildings on the premises, then all such taxes, assessments, levies or charges, or the part
thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within the term “taxes” for the purposes hereof. 
 C. Any payment to
be made pursuant to this Paragraph 4 with respect to the real estate tax year in which this lease commences or terminates shall be prorated. 

5. Landlord’s Repairs. Landlord shall at its expense maintain in good repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, the
premises’ exterior, walls, the window systems (excluding plate glass), roof, footings, foundations, floor slabs, structural columns, beams and water and sewer main lines. Tenant shall immediately give Landlord written notice of any defect or
need for repairs in the roof, foundation and exterior walls, after which Landlord shall have reasonable opportunity to repair same or cure such defect. Landlord’s liability with respect to any defects, repairs or maintenance for which Landlord
is responsible under any of the provisions of this lease shall be limited to the cost of such repairs or maintenance or the curing of such defect. The term “walls” as used herein shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors,
special store fronts or office entries unless caused by settling. 
 6. Tenant’s Repairs. 

A. Tenant shall at its own cost and expense keep and maintain all parts of the premises and the real estate on which the building is located
for which Landlord is not expressly responsible under the terms of this lease, in good condition, normal wear and tear excepted, promptly making all necessary repairs and replacements with materials and workmanship of the same character, kind and
quality as the original, including but not limited to, windows, glass and plate glass, doors, skylights, any special office entries, interior walls and finish work, floors and floor coverings, downspouts, gutters, heating and air conditioning
systems, electrical systems and fixtures, sprinkler systems, dock boards, truck doors, dock bumpers, paving, plumbing work and fixtures, termite and pest extermination, regular removal of trash and debris, regular mowing of any grass, trimming, weed

parking areas, driveways and sidewalks, remove all snow and ice from same. Upon termination of this lease in any way Tenant will yield up the premises to Landlord in good condition and repair, reasonably wear and tear excepted and loss by fire or
other casualty covered by insurance to be maintained by Landlord pursuant to paragraph 12A hereof excepted (but not excepting any damage to glass). In the event of any insurance claim, Tenant shall be liable for payment of any deductible under any
of Landlord’s insurance policies with respect to the premises, which deductible is currently Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000.00). 

B. Tenant shall not damage any demising wall or disturb the integrity and support provided by any demising wall and shall, at its sole cost
and expense, promptly repair any damage or injury to any demising wall caused by Tenant or its employees, agents or invitees. 
 C. Tenant
and its employees, customers and licensees shall have the exclusive right to use driveways adjacent to said building, subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time prescribe. Further, Landlord reserves the right
to perform the paving and landscape maintenance for the grounds around the building, including, but not limited to, maintenance of common parking areas, if any, driveways and alleys, roof repairs, exterior painting, common sewage line plumbing, and
repair and maintenance of any other items, the obligations for which are shared by other tenants in the building and other improvements of which the premises are a part, all of which are otherwise Tenant’s obligations under subparagraph A
above, and Tenant shall, in lieu of the obligations set forth under subparagraph A above with respect to such items, be liable for its proportionate share (as defined in subparagraph 24J) of the cost and expense thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord
its share, determined as aforesaid, of such costs and expenses, upon demand, as additional rent, in the event Landlord elects to perform or cause to be performed such work. If during the calendar year 

  

 following the calendar year in which the commencement date of this lease falls, or during any subsequent year of
the primary term or any renewal or extension, the cost to Landlord of said pavement repair and maintenance shall exceed Nineteen Thousand Seven Hundred Sixteen and 90/100 Dollars ($19,716.90), Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount of
such excess; and the failure to pay such excess upon demand shall be treated in the same manner as a default in the payment of rent hereunder when due. 

D. Intentionally omitted. 
 E.
Tenant shall with its employees, and at its own cost and expense, perform preventive maintenance and service on all heating and air conditioning systems and equipment within the premises. Landlord will replace the original office rooftop heating,
and ventilating and air conditioning units as they become no longer serviceable. These units shall be deemed no longer serviceable when the existing equipment cannot be readily repaired, parts are unavailable or the heat exchanger, the compressor,
the blower motor, the evaporator coil or the condenser coil fail and need to be replaced; provided, however, that the cost of such replacements shall not be Landlord’s responsibility if necessitated due to the misuse of, lack of maintenance
required to be performed under this lease by, or damaged caused by, Tenant, its employees, contractors, agents, subtenants, or invitees and in such event Tenant will reimburse Landlord for the cost of said replacement. After replacements have been
made, this Landlord obligation is no longer in force. 
 F. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, repair any damage to the premises
resulting from and/or caused by the negligence or misconduct of Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, patrons, customers, or any other person entering upon the premises as a result of Tenant’s business activities. 

G. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 6, Landlord shall be responsible for the cost of maintenance or replacement, if need, of
driveways, parking and sidewalks. Snow removal not included. Tenant shall share in these maintenance expenses on a pro rata basis of the amount of Tenant’s leased space to the aggregate of the total space in the building as specified in
Paragraph 24(J). Tenant will be billed monthly or at some other time at Landlord’s option, for its share of maintenance expenses. 

Landlord shall be responsible for landscape maintenance under the terms of this lease except for the watering of the grass and other planted
materials which shall specifically be the responsibility of Tenant. If during the calendar year following the calendar year in which the commencement date of this lease falls, or during any subsequent year of the primary term or any renewal or
extension, the cost to Landlord of said landscape maintenance service shall exceed Twelve Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy-Nine and 75/100 Dollars ($12,779.75), Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount of such excess; and the failure to pay
such excess upon demand shall be treated in the same manner as a default in the payment of rent hereunder when due. 
 H. Tenant will not
make any penetrations in the roof or the exterior wall without the written consent of Landlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and will utilize Landlord’s recommended contractor to the extent feasible and as long as Landlord’s
contractor is competitive in performance of said work. In the event that Tenant makes any roof penetrations during the term of this Lease without Landlord’s consent the obligation of the Landlord to perform the roof maintenance shall terminate
and Tenant shall at its own cost and expense keep and maintain the roof in good condition, promptly making all necessary repairs and replacements, whether ordinary or extraordinary, or structural or nonstructural, with materials and workmanship of
the same character, kind and quality as the original. 
 7. Alterations. Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or
improvements to the premises (including, without limitation, the roof and wall penetrations) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant may, without the consent of Landlord, but at its own
cost and expense and in a good workmanlike manner erect such shelves, bins, machinery and other trade fixtures as it may deem advisable, without altering the basic character of the building or improvements and without overloading or damaging such
building or improvements, and in each case after complying with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances, regulations and other requirements. All alterations, additions, improvements and partitions erected by Tenant shall be and remain the
property of Tenant during the term of this lease and Tenant shall, unless Landlord otherwise elects as hereinafter provided, remove all alterations, additions, improvements and partitions erected by Tenant and restore the premises to their original
condition by the date of termination of this lease or upon earlier vacating of the premises; provided, however, that if at such time Landlord so elects such alterations, additions, improvements and partitions shall become the property of Landlord as
of the date of termination of this lease or upon earlier vacating of the premises and title shall pass to Landlord under this lease as by a bill of sale. All shelves, bins, machinery and trade fixtures installed by Tenant may be removed by Tenant
prior to the termination of this lease if Tenant so elects, and shall be removed by the date of termination of this lease or upon earlier vacating of the premises if required by Landlord; upon any such removal Tenant shall restore the premises to
their original condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted. All such removals and restoration shall be accomplished in a good workmanlike manner so as not to damage the primary structure or structural qualities of the buildings and other improvements
within which the premises are situated. If Landlord shall consent to any alterations, additions or improvements proposed by Tenant, Tenant shall construct the same in accordance with all governmental laws, ordinances, rules and regulations and
shall, prior to construction, provide such assurances to Landlord, (including but not limited to, surety company performance bonds) as Landlord shall reasonably require to protect Landlord against any loss from any mechanics’, laborers’ or
materialmen’s liens, or other liens. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that Tenant shall not be obligated to remove the remodeling of the existing offices, construction of new office area adjacent to the existing offices,
installation of lights and a heating system in the warehouse which are completed during the first six (6) months of the lease term. 

8. Signs. Tenant shall not install any signs upon the premises, except that Landlord will provide, at Tenant’s request and cost,
Landlord’s standard identification sign, which sign shall be removed by Tenant upon termination of this lease. 
 9.
Inspections. Provided that the exercise of such rights does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s occupancy of the premises, and Landlord performs such activities in a manner consistent with Tenant’s reasonable safety and security
procedures. Landlord, upon twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Tenant, except in the case of an emergency, shall have the following rights: Landlord and Landlord’s agents and representatives shall have the right to enter and inspect the

  

 premises at any reasonable time during business hours, for the following purposes: (i) to ascertain the
condition of the premises; (ii) to make such repairs as may be required or permitted to be made by Landlord under the terms of this lease; or (iii) to do any other act or thing which Landlord deems reasonable to preserve the premises and
the building and improvements of which the premises are a part. During the period that is nine (9) months prior to the end of the term hereof and at any time Tenant is in default hereunder and such default has remained uncured for at least
thirty (30) days, Landlord and Landlord’s agents and representatives shall have the right to enter the premises at any reasonable time during business hours for the purpose of showing the premises and shall have the right to erect on the
premises suitable signs indicating that the premises are available for lease. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to vacating the premises and shall arrange to meet with Landlord for a joint inspection
of the premises prior to vacating. In the event of Tenant’s failure to give such notice or arrange such joint inspection, Landlord’s inspection at or after Tenant’s vacating the premises shall be conclusively deemed correct for
purposes of determining Tenant’s responsibility for repairs and restoration. 
 10. Utilities. Landlord agrees to provide, at
its cost, water and sewer mains and electricity service connections into the premises; but Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone, sewer, sprinkler system monitoring charges and other utilities and services used on or
from the premises, fire alarm panel and central station signaling system installed in the premises or the building of which the premises are a part, together with any taxes, penalties, and surcharges or the like pertaining thereto and any repair and
maintenance charges for the system . If during the calendar year following the calendar year in which the commencement date of this lease falls, or during any subsequent year of the primary term or any renewal or extension, the cost to Landlord of
said sprinkler system monitoring and repair and maintenance shall exceed Four Thousand Four Hundred Fifty Five and 84/100 Dollars ($4,455.84), Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount of such excess; and the failure to pay such excess upon
demand shall be treated in the same manner as a default in the payment of rent hereunder when due. Tenant shall furnish all electric light bulbs, tubes and ballasts. Any such charges paid by Landlord and assessed against Tenant shall be immediately
payable to Landlord on demand and shall be additional rent hereunder. Landlord shall in no event be liable for any interruption or failure of utility services on or to the premises. 

11. Assignment and Subletting. 

A. Tenant shall not have the right to assign or pledge this lease or to sublet the whole or any part of the premises, whether voluntarily or by
operation of law, or permit the use or occupancy of the premises by anyone other than Tenant, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and such restrictions shall be binding upon any assignee or
subtenant to which Landlord has consented. In the event Tenant desires to sublet the premises, or any portion thereof, or assign this lease, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord within a reasonable time prior to the proposed
commencement date of such subletting or assignment, which notice shall set forth the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee, the relevant terms of any sublease and copies of financial reports and other relevant financial information of the
proposed subtenant or assignee. Notwithstanding any permitted assignment or subletting, Tenant shall at all times remain directly, primarily and fully responsible and liable for the payment of the rent herein specified and for compliance with all of
its other obligations under the terms, provisions and covenants of this lease. Upon the occurrence of an “event of default” (as hereinafter defined), if the premises or any part thereof are then assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition to
any other remedies herein provided, or provided by law, may, at its option collect directly from such assignee or subtenant all rents due and becoming due to Tenant under such assignment or sublease and apply such rent against any sums due to
Landlord from Tenant hereunder, and no such collection shall be construed to constitute a novation or a release of Tenant from the further performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Any legal fees incurred by Landlord as a result of any
sublease or assignment shall be paid by the Tenant. 
 B. In addition to, but not in limitation of, Landlord’s right to approve of any
subtenant or assignee, Landlord shall have the option, in its sole discretion, in the event of any proposed subletting or assignment, to terminate this lease. The option shall be exercised, if at all, by Landlord giving Tenant written notice thereof
within sixty (60) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written notice as required above. If this lease shall be terminated with respect to the entire demised premises pursuant to this paragraph, the term of this lease shall
end on the date stated in Tenant’s notice as the effective date of the sublease or assignment as if that date had been originally fixed in this lease for the expiration of the term hereof; provided, however, that effective on such date Tenant
shall pay Landlord all amounts, as estimated by Landlord, payable by Tenant to such date, with respect to taxes, insurance, repairs, maintenance, restoration and other obligations, costs or charges which are the responsibility of Tenant hereunder.
Further, upon any such cancellation Landlord and Tenant shall have no further obligations or liabilities to each other under this lease, except with respect to obligations or liabilities which accrued hereunder as of such cancellation date (in the
same manner as if such cancellation date were the date originally fixed in this lease for the expiration of the term hereof). Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own cost and expense, discharge in full any outstanding commission obligation on the part of
Landlord with respect to this lease, and any commissions which may be due and owing as a result of any proposed assignment or subletting. 

C. Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs, Tenant may, without Landlord’s consent, assign this lease to any
corporation succeeding to substantially all the business and assets of Tenant by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise or to any corporation or entity which is a subsidiary or division of Tenant, provided that the following
conditions are satisfied: (i) the total assets and net worth of such assignee shall be equal to or more than that of Tenant immediately prior to such transaction; (ii) Tenant is not then in default hereunder; and (iii) such successor
shall execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument in writing fully assuming all the obligations and liabilities imposed upon Tenant hereunder. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing, Landlord agrees to discharge Tenant from any further liability
hereunder. 
 D. Intentionally omitted. 

E. In the event that Tenant sublets, assigns or otherwise transfers its interest in this Lease and at any time receives periodic rent and/or
other consideration which exceeds that which Tenant would at that time be obligated to pay to Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one hundred percent (100%) of the gross increase in such rent and one hundred percent (100%) of any other
consideration above the base rent as received by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, a reasonable service charge for the processing of the application for the consent and for the preparation of the consent. Such service charge shall be
collectible by Landlord only where consent is granted by Landlord. 

  

 F. In the event Landlord has had written negotiations with the proposed assignee or subtenant, in
the six (6) months preceding Tenant’s request, regarding the leasing of space by such proposed assignee or subtenant in the Building or any other buildings owned by Landlord in the metropolitan area, this will be deemed proper grounds for
disapproval of such proposed assignment or subletting. 
 12. Fire and Casualty Damage. 

A. Landlord agrees to maintain Causes of Loss-Special Form property insurance covering the building of which the premises are a part in an
amount not less than ninety percent (90%) (or such greater percentage as may be necessary to avoid the application of any co-insurance clauses of the policy) of the full replacement cost thereof. Subject to the provisions of subparagraphs 12C,
12D, and 12F below, such insurance shall be for the sole benefit of Landlord and under its sole control. If during the calendar year following the calendar year in which the commencement date of this lease falls, or during any subsequent year of the
primary term or any renewal or extension, Landlord’s cost of maintaining such insurance on an annual basis shall exceed Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Six and 21/100 Dollars ($3,336.21) Landlord’s cost of maintaining such insurance
for the calendar year, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, as additional rental, Tenant’s full proportionate share (as defined in subparagraph 24J) of such excess. Said payments shall be made to Landlord within ten (10) days after
presentation to Tenant of Landlord’s statement setting forth the amount due, and the failure to pay such excess shall be treated in the same manner as a default in the payment of rent hereunder when due. Any payment to be made pursuant to this
subparagraph 12A with respect to the year in which this lease commences or terminates shall bear the same ratio to the payment which would be required to be made for the full year as the part of such year covered by the term of this lease bears to a
full year. Tenant shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained by Landlord hereunder unless Landlord is included as an additional insured thereon. Tenant shall
immediately notify Landlord whenever any such separate insurance is taken out and shall promptly deliver to Landlord the policy or policies of such insurance. 

B. If the buildings situated upon the premises should be damaged or destroyed by fire, tornado or other casualty, Tenant shall give immediate
written notice thereof to Landlord. 
 C. If the buildings situated upon the premises should be damaged by any peril, but only to such
extent that rebuilding or repairs can in Landlord’s estimation be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date upon which Landlord is notified by Tenant of such damage, (except that Landlord may elect not to rebuild if
such damage occurs during the last year of the term hereof), this lease shall not terminate, and Landlord shall at its sole cost and expense thereupon proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild and repair such buildings to substantially the same
condition in which they existed prior to such damage, except Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the partitions, fixtures, additions and other improvements which may have been placed in, on or about the premises
by Tenant. If the premises are untenantable in whole or in part following such damage, the rent payable hereunder during the period in which the premises are untenantable shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under all of the
circumstances. In the event that Landlord should fail to complete such repairs and rebuilding within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date upon which Landlord is notified by Tenant of such damage, Tenant may at its option terminate this
lease by delivering written notice of termination to Landlord as Tenant’s exclusive remedy, whereupon all rights and obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate; provided, however, that if construction is delayed because of changes,
deletions, or additions in construction requested by Tenant, strikes, lockouts, casualties, acts of God, war, material or labor shortages, Governmental regulation or control or other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, the period for
restoration, repair or rebuilding shall be extended for the amount of time Landlord is so delayed, but in no event will such period of time exceed ninety (90) days. 

D. If the buildings situated upon the premises should be damaged or destroyed by fire, tornado or other casualty and Landlord is not required
to rebuild pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph 12C hereof, this lease shall at the option of Landlord, upon notice to Tenant, given within thirty (30) days after Landlord is notified by Tenant of such damage, terminate and the rent shall
be abated during the unexpired portion of this lease, effective upon the date of the occurrence of such damage. 
 E. Tenant covenants and
agrees to maintain insurance on all alterations, additions, partitions and improvements erected by or on behalf of Tenant in, on or about the premises in an amount not less than ninety percent (90%) (or such greater percentage as may be
necessary to comply with the provisions of any co-insurance clause of the policy) of the “replacement cost” thereof, as such term is defined in the Replacement Cost Endorsement to be attached thereto. Such insurance shall insure against
the perils and be in form, including stipulated endorsements, as provided in subparagraph 12A hereof. Such insurance shall be for the sole benefit of Tenant and under its sole control provided that Tenant shall be obligated to as soon as practicable
commence the rebuilding of the improvements erected by Tenant and to apply such proceeds in payment of the cost thereof. All such policies shall be procured by Tenant from responsible insurance companies satisfactory to Landlord. Certified copies of
policies of such insurance, together with receipt evidencing payment of the premiums therefor, shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the commencement date of this lease. Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of any such
policies, certified copies of renewals thereof (bearing notations evidencing the payment of renewal premiums) shall be delivered to Landlord. Such policies shall further provide that not less than thirty (30) days written notice shall be given
to Landlord before such policy may be cancelled or changed to reduce insurance provided thereby. 
 F. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, in the event the holder of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or deed of trust covering the premises or the building of which the premises are a part requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then
Landlord shall have the right to terminate this lease by delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after such requirement is made by any such holder, whereupon all rights and obligations hereunder shall cease
and terminate. 

  

 G. Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby releases the other from any and all liability or
responsibility to the other or anyone claiming through or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise for any loss damage to property caused by fire or any other perils insured in policies of insurance covering such property, even if such loss or
damage shall have been caused by the fault or negligence of the other party, or anyone for whom such party may be responsible, including any other tenants or occupants of the remainder of the building in which the premises are located; provided,
however, that this release shall be applicable and in force and effect only to the extent that such release shall be lawful at the time and in any event only with respect to loss or damage occurring during such times as the releasor’s policies
shall contain a clause or endorsement to the effect that any such release shall not adversely affect or impair said policies or prejudice the right of the releasor to recover thereunder and then only to the extent of the insurance proceeds payable
under such policies. Each of Landlord and Tenant agrees that it will request its insurance carriers to include in its policies such a clause or endorsement. If extra cost shall be charged therefor, each party shall advise the other thereof and of
the amount of the extra cost, and the other party, at its election, may pay the same, but shall not obligated to do so. If such other party fails to pay such extra cost, the release provisions of this paragraph shall be inoperative against such
other party to the extent necessary to avoid invalidation of such releasor’s insurance. 
 H. In the event of any damage or destruction
to the premises by any peril covered by the provisions of this Paragraph 12, Tenant shall, upon notice from Landlord, forthwith remove, at its sole cost and expense, such portion or all of Tenant’s shelves, bins, machinery and other trade
fixtures and all other property belonging to Tenant or his licensees from such portion or all of the premises as Landlord shall request and Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the property, Landlord (including without limitation the trustee
and beneficiaries if Landlord is a trust), Landlord’s agents and employees from any loss, liability, claims, suits, costs, expenses, including attorney’s fees and damages, both real and alleged, arising out of any damage or injury as a
result of the failure to properly secure the premises prior to such removal and/or as a result of such removal. 
 13. Liability.
Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, patrons or visitors, or to any other person whomsoever, for any injury to person or damage to property on or about the premises, resulting from and/or caused by the
negligence or misconduct of Tenant, its agents, servants or employees, or of any other person entering upon the premises, or caused by the buildings and improvements located on the premises becoming out of repair, or caused by leakage of gas, oil,
water or steam or by electricity emanating from the premises, or due to any cause whatsoever, and Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that it will at all times indemnify and hold safe and harmless the property, the Landlord (including without
limitation the trustee and beneficiaries if Landlord is a trust), Landlord’s agents and employees from any loss, liability, claims, suits, costs, expenses, including attorney’s fees and damages, both real and alleged, arising out of any
such damage or injury; except injury to persons or damage to property the cause of which is the negligence of Landlord or acts of Landlord, Landlord’s agent or invitees or the failure of Landlord to repair any part of the premises which
Landlord is obligated to repair and maintain hereunder, within a reasonable time after the receipt of written notice from Tenant of known or needed repairs. Tenant shall procure and maintain throughout the term of this lease a policy or policies of
insurance, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, insuring both Landlord (and if Landlord is a trust, the trustee, beneficiaries and their agents) and Tenant against all claims, demands or actions
arising out of or in connection with: (i) the premises; (ii) the condition of the premises; (iii) Tenant’s operations in and maintenance and use of the premises; and (iv) Tenant’s liability assumed under this lease; the
limits of such policy or policies to be in the amount of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence in respect of injury to persons (including death), and in the amount of not less than $250,000 per occurrence in respect of property damage or
destruction, including loss of use thereof. All such policies shall be procured by Tenant from responsible insurance companies satisfactory to Landlord. Certified copies of such policies, together with receipt evidencing payment of premiums
therefor, shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the commencement date of this lease. Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of any such policies, certified copies of the renewals thereof (bearing notations evidencing the
payment of renewal premiums) shall be delivered to Landlord. Such policies shall further provide that not less than thirty (30) days written notice shall be given to Landlord before such policy may be cancelled or changed to reduce the
insurance coverage provided thereby. 
 14. Condemnation. 

A If the whole or any substantial part of the premises should be taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance or
regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof and the taking would prevent or materially interfere with the use of the premises for the purpose for which they are then being used, this lease shall terminate and
the rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this lease, effective when the physical taking of said premises shall occur. 
 B.
If part of the premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, and this lease is not terminated as provided in the
subparagraph above, this lease shall not terminate but the rent payable hereunder during the unexpired portion of this lease shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under all of the circumstances and Landlord shall undertake to
restore the premises to a condition suitable for Tenant’s use, as near to the condition thereof immediately prior to such taking as is reasonably feasible under all the circumstances. 

C. In the event of any such taking or private purchase in lieu thereof, Landlord and Tenant shall each be entitled to receive and retain such
separate awards and/or portion of lump sum awards as may be allocated to their respective interests in any condemnation proceedings; provided that Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any award for Tenant’s loss of its leasehold interest,
the right to such award being hereby assigned by Tenant to Landlord. 
 15. Holding Over. Tenant will, at the termination of this
lease by lapse of time or otherwise, yield up immediate possession to Landlord. If Tenant retains possession of the premises or any part thereof after such termination, then Landlord may, at its option, serve written notice upon Tenant that such
holding over constitutes any one of (i) creation of a month to month tenancy, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this lease, or (iii) creation of a tenancy at sufferance, in any case upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
lease; provided, however, that the monthly rental or daily rental under (ii) shall, in addition to all other sums which are to be paid by Tenant hereunder, whether or not as additional rent, 

  

 be equal to double the rental being paid monthly to Landlord under this lease immediately prior to such
termination (prorated in the case of (ii) on the basis of a 365 day year for each day Tenant remains in possession). If no such notice is served, then a tenancy at sufferance shall be deemed to be created at the rent in the preceding sentence.
Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages sustained by Landlord resulting from retention of possession by Tenant, including the loss of any proposed subsequent tenant for any portion of the premises. The provisions of this paragraph shall not
constitute a waiver by Landlord of any right of re-entry as herein set forth; nor shall receipt of any rent or any other act in apparent affirmance of the tenancy operate as a waiver of the right to terminate this lease for a breach of any of the
terms, covenants, or obligations herein on Tenant’s part to be performed. 
 16. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants that it now
has, or will acquire before Tenant takes possession of the premises, good title to the premises, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, excepting only the lien for current taxes not yet due, such mortgage or mortgages as are permitted by the
terms of this lease, zoning ordinances and other building and fire ordinances and governmental regulations relating to the use of such property, and easements, restrictions and other conditions of record. Landlord represents that it has full right
and authority to enter into this lease and that Tenant, upon paying the rental herein set forth and performing its other covenants and agreements herein set forth, shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the premises for the term hereof
without hindrance or molestation from Landlord, subject to the terms and provisions of this lease. 
 17. Events of Default. The
following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant under this lease: 
 (a) Tenant shall fail to pay when or before
due any sum of money becoming due to be paid to Landlord hereunder, whether such sum be any installment of the rent herein reserved, any other amount treated as additional rent hereunder, or any other payment or reimbursement to Landlord required
herein, whether or not treated as additional rent hereunder, and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) days from the date such payment was due. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of default per Paragraph 17.a. once during
a calendar year. Tenant shall have five (5) days from the date of Landlord’s notice to cure such default; or 
 (b) Tenant shall
fail to comply with any term, provision or covenant of this lease other than by failing to pay when or before due any sum of money becoming due to be paid to Landlord hereunder, and shall not cure such failure within twenty (20) days or in the
event such cure is unable to be completed within twenty (20) days and Tenant is diligently pursuing to cure such failure within said twenty (20) days, then the period of time shall be reasonably extended, but in no event shall the period
of time exceed sixty (60) days (forthwith, if the default involves a hazardous condition) after written notice thereof to Tenant; or 

(c) Intentionally omitted. 
 (d)
Tenant shall fail to immediately vacate the premises upon termination of this lease, by lapse of time or otherwise, or upon termination of Tenant’s right to possession only; or 

(e) The leasehold interest of Tenant shall be levied upon under execution or be attached by process of law or Tenant shall fail to contest
diligently the validity of any lien or claimed lien and give sufficient security to Landlord to insure payment thereof or shall fail to satisfy any judgment rendered thereon and have the same released, and such default shall continue for ten
(10) days after written notice thereof to Tenant; or 
 (f) Tenant shall become insolvent, admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally as they become due, file a petition in bankruptcy or a petition to take advantage of any insolvency statute, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, make a transfer in fraud of creditors, apply for or consent to the
appointment of a receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, or file a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now in effect or hereafter amended, or any other
applicable law or statute of the United States or any state thereof; or 
 (g) A court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order,
judgment or decree adjudicating Tenant a bankrupt, or appointing a receiver of Tenant, or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, without the consent of Tenant, or approving a petition filed against Tenant seeking reorganization or
arrangement of Tenant under the bankruptcy laws of the United States, as now in effect or hereafter amended, or any state thereof, and such order, judgment or decree shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within thirty (30) days from the
date of entry thereof. 
 (h) If Landlord fails to perform any of the obligation on Landlord’s part to be performed pursuant to this
lease, and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is sent by Tenant to Landlord informing Landlord of such failure, then Landlord shall be deemed to be in default under this lease; provided, however, that if
the failure set forth in Tenant’s notice is such that it requires more than thirty (30) days to correct, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder if Landlord: (i) promptly and diligently commences curing the failure
within thirty (30) days after written notice is sent by Tenant to Landlord informing Landlord of such failure; and (ii) diligently prosecutes the cure to completion. 

18. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any of such events of default described in Paragraph 17 hereof or elsewhere in this lease,
Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any notice or demand whatsoever: 
 (a)
Intentionally omitted. 
 (b) Landlord may, at its election, terminate this lease or terminate Tenant’s right to possession only,
without terminating the lease; 
 (c) Upon any termination of this lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, or upon any termination of
Tenant’s right to possession without termination of the lease, Tenant shall surrender possession and vacate the premises immediately, and deliver possession thereof to Landlord, and Tenant hereby grants to Landlord full and free license to 

  

 enter into and upon the premises in such event with process of law and to repossess Landlord of the premises as
of Landlord’s former estate and to expel or remove Tenant and any others who may be occupying or within the premises and to remove any and all property therefrom, without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry
or detainer, and without incurring any liability for any damage resulting therefrom. Tenant hereby waiving any right to claim damage for such re-entry and expulsion, and without relinquishing Landlord’s right to rent or any other right given to
Landlord hereunder or by operation of law; 
 (d) Upon any termination of this lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, Landlord shall
be entitled to recover as damages, all rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent hereunder, and other sums due and payable by Tenant on the date of termination, plus the sum of (i) an amount equal to the then present value of the
rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent hereunder, and other sums provided herein to be paid by Tenant for the residue of the stated term hereof, less the fair rental value of the premises for such residue (taking into account the
time and expense necessary to obtain a replacement tenant or tenants, including expenses hereinafter described in subparagraph (e) relating to recovery of the premises, preparation for reletting and for reletting itself), and (ii) the cost
of performing any other covenants which would have otherwise been performed by Tenant; 
 (e) (i) Upon any termination of Tenant’s
right to possession only without termination of the lease, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, enter into the premises, remove Tenant’s signs and other evidences of tenancy, and take and hold possession thereof as provided in subparagraph
(c) above, without such entry and possession terminating the lease or releasing Tenant, in whole or in part, from any obligation, including Tenant’s obligation to pay the rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent, hereunder
for the full term. In any such case Tenant shall pay forthwith to Landlord, if Landlord so elects, a sum equal to the then present value of the rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent hereunder, for the residue of the stated term
hereof plus any other sums provided herein to be paid by Tenant for the remainder of the lease term less any amounts collected by Landlord for reletting all or any portion of the premises. 

(ii) Landlord may, but need not, relet the premises or any part thereof for such rent and upon such terms as Landlord, in its sole discretion,
shall determine (including the right to relet the premises for a greater or lesser term than that remaining under this Lease, the right to relet the premises as a part of a larger area, and the right to change the character or use made of the
premises). If Landlord decides to relet the premises or a duty to relet is imposed upon Landlord by law, Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord shall only be required to use the same efforts Landlord then uses to lease other properties Landlord
owns or manages (or if the premises is then managed for Landlord, then Landlord will instruct such manager to use the same efforts such manager then uses to lease other space or properties which it owns or manages); provided, however, that Landlord
(or its manager) shall not be required to give any preference or priority to the showing or leasing of the premises over any other space that Landlord (or its manager) may be leasing or have available and may place a suitable prospective tenant in
any such available space regardless of when alternative space becomes available; provided, further, that Landlord shall not be required to observe any instruction given by Tenant about such reletting or accept any tenant offered by Tenant unless
such offered tenant has a creditworthiness acceptable to Landlord, leases the entire premises, agrees to use the premises in a manner consistent with the lease and leases the premises at the same rent, for no more than the current term and on the
same other terms and conditions as in this lease without the expenditures by Landlord for tenant improvements or broker’s commissions. In any such case, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, make repairs, alterations and additions in or
to the premises and redecorate the same to the extent Landlord deems necessary or desirable, and Tenant shall, upon demand, pay the cost thereof, together with Landlord’s expenses of reletting, including, without limitation, any broker’s
commission incurred by Landlord. If the consideration collected by Landlord upon any such reletting plus any sums previously collected from Tenant are not sufficient to pay the full amount of all rent, including any amounts treated as additional
rent hereunder and other sums reserved in this lease for the remaining term hereof, together with the cost of repairs, alterations, additions, redecorating, and Landlord’s expenses of reletting and the cost of collection of the rent accruing
therefrom (including attorneys’ fees and broker’s commissions), Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such deficiency upon demand and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due under this section from
time to time. 
 (f) Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, enter into and upon the premises, if Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant
is not acting within a commercially reasonable time to maintain, repair or replace anything for which Tenant is responsible hereunder and correct the same, without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry and
detainer and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord, on demand, as additional rent, for any expenses which Landlord may incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this lease; 

(g) Any and all property which may be removed from the premises by Landlord pursuant to the authority of the lease or of law, to which Tenant
is or may be entitled, may be handled, removed and stored, as the case may be, by or at the direction of Landlord at the risk, cost and expense of Tenant, and Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping
thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any and all expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges against such property so long as the same shall be in Landlord’s possession or under Landlord’s control. Any such
property of Tenant not retaken by Tenant from storage within thirty (30) days after removal from the premises shall conclusively be presumed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord under this lease as a bill of sale without further payment
or credit by Landlord to Tenant. 
 In the event Tenant fails to pay any installment of rent, including any amount treated as additional
rent hereunder, or other sums hereunder as and when such installment or other charge is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge in an amount equal to ten percent (10%)of such installment or other charge overdue in any month, and
such late charge shall be additional rent hereunder and the failure to pay such late charge within ten (10) days after demand therefor shall be an additional event of default hereunder. The provision for such late charge shall be in addition to
all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner. 

Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of the other remedies herein provided or any other remedies
provided by law (all such remedies being cumulative), nor shall pursuit of any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason 

  

 of the violation of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained. No act or thing done by Landlord
or its agents during the term hereby granted shall be deemed a termination of this lease or an acceptance of the surrender of the premises, and no agreement to terminate this lease or accept a surrender of said premises shall be valid unless in
writing signed by Landlord. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of any of the terms,
provisions and covenants herein contained. Landlord’s acceptance of the payment of rental or other payments hereunder after the occurrence of an event of default shall not be construed as a waiver of such default, unless Landlord so notifies
Tenant in writing. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default or of Landlord’s right to enforce any such
remedies with respect to such default or any subsequent default. If, on account of any breach or default by Tenant or Landlord in their respective obligations under the terms and conditions of this lease, it shall become necessary or appropriate for
either party to employ or consult with an attorney concerning or to enforce or defend any of its rights or remedies hereunder, the prevailing party in such action will be reimbursed for its reasonable legal fees. 

19. Landlord’s Lien. Intentionally omitted. 

20. Mortgages. Tenant accepts this lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s) and/or deed(s) of trust now or at any time
hereafter constituting a lien or charge upon the premises or the improvements situated thereon, provided, however, that if the mortgagee, trustee, or holder of any such mortgage or deed of trust elects to have Tenant’s interest in this lease
superior to any such instrument, then by notice to Tenant from such mortgagee, trustee or holder, this lease shall be deemed superior to such lien, whether this lease was executed before or after said mortgage or deed of trust. Tenant shall at any
time hereafter on demand execute any instruments, releases or other documents which may be required by any mortgagee for the purpose of subjecting and subordinating this lease to the lien of any such mortgage or for the purpose of evidencing the
superiority of this lease to the lien of any such mortgage, as may be the case. 
 21. Landlord’s Liability. In no event shall
Landlord’s liability to Tenant for any breach of this lease exceed the amount of rental then remaining unpaid for the then current term (exclusive of any renewal periods which have not then actually commenced). This provision is not intended to
be a measure or agreed amount of Landlord’s liability with respect to any particular breach, and shall not be utilized by any court or otherwise for the purpose of determining any liability of Landlord hereunder, except only as a maximum amount
not to be exceeded in any event. 
 22. Mechanic’s and Other Liens. Tenant shall have no authority, express or implied, to
create or place any lien or encumbrance of any kind or nature whatsoever upon, or in any manner to bind, the interest of Landlord in the premises or to charge the rentals payable hereunder for any claim in favor of any person dealing with Tenant,
including those who may furnish materials or perform labor for any construction or repairs, and each such claim shall affect and each such lien shall attach to, if at all, only the leasehold interest granted to Tenant by this instrument. Tenant
covenants and agrees that it will pay or cause to be paid all sums legally due and payable by it on account of any labor performed or materials furnished in connection with any work performed on the premises on which any lien is or can be validly
and legally asserted against its leasehold interest in the premises or the improvements thereon and that it will save and hold Landlord harmless from any and all loss, cost or expense based on or arising out of asserted claims or liens against the
leasehold estate or against the right, title and interest of the Landlord in the premises or under the terms of this lease. Tenant will not permit any mechanic’s lien or liens or any other liens which may be imposed by law affecting
Landlord’s or its mortgagees’ interest in the premises or any building or other improvement of which the premises are a part to be placed upon the premises or any building or improvement thereon during the term hereof, and in case of the
filing of any such lien Tenant will promptly pay same. If any such lien shall remain uncontested and in force and effect for twenty (20) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right and privilege at
Landlord’s option of paying and discharging the same or any portion thereof without inquiry as to the validity thereof, and any amounts so paid, including expenses and interest, shall be so much additional indebtedness hereunder due from Tenant
to Landlord and shall be repaid to Landlord immediately on rendition of a bill therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to contest any such lien in good faith and with all due diligence so long as any such contest, or
action taken in connection therewith, protects the interest of Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee in the premises and Landlord and any such mortgagee are, by the expiration of said twenty (20) day period, furnished such protection, and
indemnification against any loss, cost or expense related to any such lien and the contest thereof as are reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and any such mortgagee. 

23. Notices. Each provision of this instrument or of any applicable governmental laws, ordinances, regulations and other requirements
with reference to the sending, mailing or delivery of any notice or the making of any payment by Landlord to Tenant or with reference to the sending, mailing or delivery of any notice or the making of any payment by Tenant to Landlord shall be
deemed to be complied with when and if the following steps are taken: 
 (a) All rent and other payments required to be made by Tenant to
Landlord hereunder shall be payable to Hamilton Lakes Commerce Center #4 Limited Partnership, c/o Hamilton Partners, Inc. or to such other entity at such other address as Landlord may specify from time to time by written notice delivered in

delivered in accordance herewith:

 24. Miscellaneous. 

A. Words of any gender used in this lease shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be
held to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires. 
 B. The terms, provisions and covenants and conditions contained in
this lease shall apply to, inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and upon their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns, except as otherwise herein expressly provided. Landlord shall have
the right to assign any of its rights and obligations under this lease and Landlord’s grantee or Landlord’s successor, as the case may be, shall upon such assignment, become Landlord hereunder, thereby freeing and relieving the grantor or
assignor, as the case may be, of all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder. Each party agrees to furnish to the other, promptly upon demand, a corporate resolution, proof of due authorization by partners, or other appropriate documentation
evidencing the due authorization of such party to enter into this lease. Nothing herein contained shall give any other tenant in the building of which the premises are a part any enforceable rights either against Landlord or Tenant as a result of
the covenants and obligations of either party set forth herein. 
 C. The captions inserted in this lease are for convenience only and in no
way define, limit or otherwise describe the scope or intent of this lease, or any provision hereof, or in any way affect the interpretation of this lease. 

D. Tenant shall at any time and from time to time within ten (10) days after written request from Landlord execute and deliver to the
Landlord or any prospective Landlord or mortgagee or prospective mortgagee a sworn and acknowledged Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement and a sworn and acknowledged estoppel certificate, in form reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord and/or Landlord’s mortgagee or prospective mortgagee certifying and stating as follows: (i) this lease has not been modified or amended (or if modified or amended, setting forth such modifications or amendments); (ii) this
lease as so modified or amended is in full force and effect (or if not in full force and effect, the reasons therefor); (iii) the Tenant has no known offsets or defenses to its performance of the terms and provisions of this lease, including
the payment of rent, or if there are any such defenses or offsets, specifying the same; (iv) Tenant is in possession of the premises, if such be the case; (v) if an assignment of rents or leases has been served upon Tenant by a mortgagee
or prospective mortgagee, Tenant has received such assignment and agrees to be bound by the provisions thereof; and (vi) any other accurate statements reasonably required by Landlord or its mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. It is intended
that any such statement delivered pursuant to this subsection may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee and their respective successors and assigns and Tenant shall be liable for all loss, cost or expense resulting from the
failure of any sale or funding of any loan caused by any misstatement made by Tenant contained in such estoppel certificate prepared for mortgagee or prospective mortgage or Tenant’s failure to deliver a sworn and acknowledged Subordination,
Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement and/or a sworn and acknowledged estoppel certificate to Landlord. In addition to any other remedy Landlord may have hereunder, Landlord may, at its option, if Tenant does not deliver to Landlord an estoppel
certificate as set forth above within fifteen (15) days after Tenant is requested so to do, cancel this lease effective the last day of the then current month, without incurring any liability on account thereof, and the term hereby granted is
expressly limited accordingly. 
 E. This lease may not be altered, changed or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by both
parties hereto. 
 F. All obligations of Tenant hereunder not fully performed as of the expiration or earlier termination of the term of
this lease shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof, including without limitation, all payment obligations with respect to taxes and insurance and all obligations concerning the condition of the premises. Upon the
expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof, and prior to Tenant vacating the premises, Landlord and Tenant shall jointly inspect the premises and Tenant shall pay to Landlord any amount estimated by Landlord as necessary to put the
premises, including without limitation heating and air conditioning systems and equipment therein, in good working condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Any work required to be done by Tenant prior to its vacation of the premises
which has not been completed upon such vacation, shall be completed by Landlord and billed to Tenant. Tenant shall also, prior to vacating the premises, pay to Landlord the amount, as estimated by Landlord, of Tenant’s obligation hereunder for
unpaid real estate taxes for the years during the term of this lease for which such taxes are a lien against the premises, and insurance premiums for the year in which the lease expires or terminates. All such amounts shall be used and held by
Landlord for payment of such obligations of Tenant hereunder, with Tenant being liable for any additional costs therefor upon demand by Landlord, or with any excess to be returned to Tenant after all such obligations have been determined and
satisfied, as the case may be. Any security deposit held by Landlord shall be credited against the amount payable by Tenant under this subparagraph 24F. 

G. If any clause, phrase, provision or portion of this lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be invalid or
unenforceable under applicable law, such event shall not affect, impair or render invalid or unenforceable the remainder of this lease nor any other clause, phrase, provision or portion hereof, nor shall it affect the application of any clause,
phrase, provision or portion hereof to other persons or circumstances, and it is also the intention of the parties to this lease that in lieu of each such clause, phrase, provision or portion of this lease that is invalid or unenforceable, there be
added as a part of this lease contract a clause, phrase, provision or portion as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable clause, phrase, provision or portion as may be possible and be valid and enforceable. 

  

 H. Submission of this lease shall not be deemed to be a reservation of the premises. Landlord
shall not be bound hereby until its delivery to Tenant of an executed copy hereof signed by Landlord, already having been signed by Tenant, and until such delivery Landlord reserves the right to exhibit and lease the premises to other prospective
tenants. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary Landlord may withhold delivery of possession of the premises from Tenant until such time as Tenant has paid to Landlord the security deposit required by subparagraph 2B hereof and
the first month’s rent as set forth in subparagraph 2A hereof. 
 I. All references in this lease to “the date hereof” or
similar references shall be deemed to refer to the last date in point of time, on which all parties hereto have executed this lease. 
 J.
Tenant’s “proportionate share” as used in this lease shall be one hundred percent (100%). 
 K. Intentionally omitted. 

L. Both Landlord and Tenant represent that Colliers International has acted as the procuring real estate broker and that no other broker is
entitled to a real estate commission as a result of this lease agreement entered into by Landlord and Tenant and that Landlord is responsible for payment of such commission. 

25. Landlord’s Exculpation. It is expressly understood and agreed that nothing in this lease contained shall be construed as
creating any liability whatsoever against the Landlord, or its successors and assigns, personally, and in particular without limiting the generality of the foregoing, there shall be no personal liability to pay any indebtedness accruing hereunder or
to perform any covenant, either express or implied, herein contained, and that all personal liability of Landlord, or its successors and assigns, of every sort, if any, is hereby expressly waived by Tenant, and every person now or hereafter claiming
any right or security hereunder, and that so far as Landlord, or its successors and assigns, is concerned the owner of any indebtedness or liability accruing hereunder shall look solely to the premises hereby leased for the payment thereof. 

26. Consumer Price Escalation. Intentionally omitted. 

27. Hazardous Material. Tenant covenants not to introduce any hazardous or toxic materials onto the premises without (i) first
obtaining Landlord’s written consent and (ii) complying with all applicable federal, state and local laws or ordinances pertaining to the transportation, storage, use or disposal of such materials, including but not limited to obtaining
proper permits. 
 If Tenant’s transportation, storage, use or disposal of hazardous or toxic materials on the premises results in
(i) contamination of the soil or surface or ground water or (ii) loss or damage to person(s) or property, then Tenant agrees to respond in accordance with the following paragraph. 

Tenant agrees (i) to notify Landlord immediately of any contamination, claim of contamination, loss or damage; (ii) after
consultation and approval by Landlord to clean up the contamination in full compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and standards; and (iii) to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, suits, causes
of action, costs and fees, including attorney’s fees, arising from or connected with any such contamination, claim of contamination, loss or damage. This provision shall survive termination of this lease. 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord agrees, as to any Hazardous Substances existing at the Premises as of the
Commencement Date (the “Commencement Date Hazardous Substances”) or first introduced or otherwise brought to the Premises by Landlord or its contractors, agents or employees after the Commencement Date (the “Post Commencement Date
Hazardous Substances”), to remove or otherwise remediate such Hazardous Substances if and to the extent required by Environmental Law as existing on the Commencement Date (i.e., as it relates to the Commencement Date Hazardous Substances) or as
of the date so introduced by Landlord or its contractors, agents or employees (i.e., as it relates to the Post Commencement Date Hazardous Substances), as the case may be, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. Landlord shall restore, at its sole
cost and expense any damage caused to the premises as a result of such access, removal or remediation by Landlord under this Section. In any entry into the premises under this Section, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize
interference with Tenant’s business operations therefrom. 
 Prior to the commencement date Landlord will hire an environmental firm to
perform a Phase I review of the premises. A copy of this report will be provided to Tenant. 
 28. Special Provisions. 

A. The following items illustrated on Exhibit “D” (pages1 through 3), attached hereto and made a part hereof will be placed in good operating /
working condition within forty-five (45) days after the date the lease agreement has been executed. All existing conditions that currently do not conform to ADA regulations will be addressed by Landlord. Landlord’s work is scheduled to be
completed during normal working hours based on its specification for materials and workmanship.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

RICEBRAN TECHNOLOGIES

	
Warrant Shares: _______

	
Initial Exercise Date: April __, 2015

	
 

	
Issue Date: October __, 2014

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, _____________ or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the Initial Exercise Date (as set forth above) and on or prior to the close of business on the five year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from RiceBran Technologies, a California corporation (the “Company”), up to ______ shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

Section 1.               Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated September 30, 2014, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.

Section 2.                Exercise.

a)            Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery 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 books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile, or .pdf via email, copy of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto and within three (3) Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank or, if available, pursuant to the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below. 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, 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 the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. 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.

b)            Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $5.27, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

c)            Cashless Exercise. If at any time after the earlier of (i) the one year anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the completion of the then-applicable holding period required by Rule 144, or any successor provision then in effect, there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

		(A)	= the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;

		(B)	= the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

		(X)	= the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

		d)	Mechanics of Exercise.

2

i.        Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is one (1) Trading Day after delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the second Trading Day following the occurrence of both the Warrant Share Delivery Date and the date that the Company has received the aggregate Exercise Price from the Holder (“Liquidated Damages 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 VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $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 such Liquidated Damages Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise.

ii.        Delivery of New Warrants 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 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.        Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date (subject to receipt of the aggregate Exercise Price from the Holder), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

3

iv.        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 the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Liquidated Damages Date, 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.

v.        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 fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

vi.        Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of 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 Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares 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 that 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 same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

4

vii.        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.

e)            Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon 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 (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing 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 or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

5

		Section 3.	Certain Adjustments.

a)                  Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re‐classification.

6

b)                  [RESERVED]

c)                   Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property 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, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) 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 (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, 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 exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

d)                 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 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) (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 on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) 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 exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, 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 exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completed exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant.

7

e)                  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, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition 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 Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) 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, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). 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. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, 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 which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) 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 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), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such 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 and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

8

f)                    Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

		g)	Notice to Holder.

i.            Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment..

9

ii.            Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock as a class, (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, (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, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, 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 of the Company, at least 20 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, 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. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. 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.

		Section 4.	Transfer of Warrant.

a)                  Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

10

b)                  New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Initial Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

c)                 Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof 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.

d)            Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.

e)                  Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

11

		Section 5.	Redemption.

a)                  Redemption. Subject to this Section 5(a), not less than all of the outstanding Warrants held by a Holder (unless a partial redemption is allowed under this Section 6(a)) may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, prior to their expiration, upon notice to the Holder in accordance with Section 6(h), in whole but not in part (unless a partial redemption is allowed under this Section 6(a)), at the price of $0.01 per Warrant (“Redemption Price”), provided that (i) on at least 20 Trading Days in the 30 Trading Day period immediately prior to the date such notice is delivered the last sales price of the Common Stock for each such 20 Trading Days has been equal to or greater than 200% of the then Exercise Price, (ii) the average daily trading volume during such 30 Trading Day period is not less than $500,000, (iii) during the Redemption Period, the Holder is not in possession of any information that constitutes, or could reasonably constitute, material non-public information which was provided by the Company, (iv) during the Redemption Period, the Registration Statement shall be effective as to all Warrant Shares and the prospectus thereunder available for use by the Holder for the resale of all such Warrant Shares, (v) during the Redemption Period, the Common Stock shall be listed or quoted for trading on the Trading Market, (vi) during the Redemption Period, there is a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance of all the Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants, and (vii) to the extent that Section 2(e) would limit the number of Warrant Shares that could be exercised by such Holder during the Redemption Period, the Company’s redemption right will apply to the maximum portion of the Warrants held by such Holder, that if then exercised by Holder, would not cause Holder to violate Section 2(e). Such right of redemption shall be exercised equally among all Holders of Warrants, subject to any limitations that may apply to any particular Holder pursuant to Section 5(a)(iii) or Section 5(a)(vii). Nothing contained in this Section 5 shall preclude the Company from exercising its right of redemption under this Section 5(a) on more than one occasion if for any reason any Warrants remain outstanding.

b)                  Date Fixed for, and Notice of, Redemption. In the event the Company shall elect to redeem the Warrants pursuant to Section 5(a), the Company shall fix a date for the redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption (such 30 day period, the “Redemption Period”) to the registered Holders of the Warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses provided in accordance with Section 6(h); provided that the right to redeem with respect to a particular Redemption Period shall be cancelled with respect to the applicable Holder and of no further force or effect if during the Redemption Period any of the conditions set forth in clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 5(a) applicable to such Holder are not met by the Company or the Company fails to timely honor a duly exercised Notice of Exercise for such Holder. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered Holder received such notice.

c)                   Exercise After Notice of Redemption. The Warrants may be exercised in accordance with Section 2 of this Warrant at any time after notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof and prior to the time and date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, the record holder of the Warrants shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the Warrants, the Redemption Price.

12

		Section 6.	Miscellaneous.

a)                  No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. 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 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.

b)                  Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it 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 (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), 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. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary 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 upon which the Common Stock may be listed. 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).

13

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 articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue 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, but 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 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 commercially reasonable 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)                  Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

f)                  Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

g)                  Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. 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.

h)                 Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

14

i)                   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.

j)                    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.

k)                  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 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.

l)                   Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder. This Warrant also may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the Warrant Shares issuable under Warrants then outstanding as of the date such consent is sought; provided, however, that (i) no such amendment shall adversely affect any Holder differently than it affects all other Holders, unless such Holder consents thereto and (ii) no amendment may increase the Exercise Price, decrease the number of shares or class of shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant or decrease the time period in which this Warrant can be exercised without the written consent of the Holder.

m)                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.

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.

o)                  Acceptance. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.
