	 Warrant Shares:  [*]
	  	 	Issue Date:                 , 2014	  

 THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value
received,            (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions set forth herein, at any time on or after the
Unblinding Date (as defined below) and until 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the later of (i) September 4, 2015 and (ii) the date thirty (30) days following the PDUFA Date but in no event no later than March 4, 2016 (the “Expiration
Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Sunesis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to [*] shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s
common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”). For purposes of this Warrant, the “Unblinding Date” shall mean the date on which data from the Company’s VALOR trial, a Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial
of vosaroxin in combination with cytarabine in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia, that is unblinded by the independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board overseeing such clinical trial, is first publicly announced in a press
release issued by the Company, and the “PDUFA Date” shall mean the final date that is assigned by the United States Food and Drug Administration as the Prescription Drug User Fee Act action date for vosaroxin. 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 Warrant Agency Agreement between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company. LLC (the “Warrant Agent”), dated as of February [—], 2014 (the
“Warrant Agency Agreement”). The following additional terms shall have the following meanings: 
 a)
“Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the Trading Market. 
 b) “Trading
Market” shall mean the principal securities exchange or securities market, including an over-the-counter market, on which the Common Stock is then traded in the United States. 

Section 2. Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder only if a registration statement registering the
issuance of the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is effective and available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares. 

a) Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the foregoing limitation on exercise, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant
may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Unblinding Date and on or before the Expiration Date by delivery (whether via facsimile or otherwise) to the Company (or the Warrant Agent 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 or the Warrant Agent) of a duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise form annexed hereto and by
payment to the Warrant Agent of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares thereby purchased by wire transfer. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of
guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company or the Warrant Agent 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 or the Warrant Agent for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days after the date the final Notice of Exercise is
delivered to the Company or the Warrant Agent. 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 or the Warrant Agent shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.
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.  

  
 1. 

 b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall
be $12.00, subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Exercise Price”). 
 c) Mechanics of Exercise. 

i. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Warrant Agent to the
Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system if the Company is then a participant in such
system and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the receipt by the Warrant Agent of the Notice of Exercise (provided that payment of the
Exercise Price has then been received by the Warrant Agent) (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised upon proper delivery of the Notice of Exercise and payment of the
Exercise Price. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the 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. 
 ii. Delivery of New Warrant Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the
Company shall (or shall direct the Warrant Agent to), at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new
Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant. 

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Warrant Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise. 

iv. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall (or shall direct the Warrant Agent to), 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 or down) to the nearest whole share. 
 v.
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes
and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares
are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company or the Warrant Agent may require, as a
condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. 
 vi. Closing of Books.
The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof. 

d) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be
exercisable by the Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Holder or any of its Affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 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 “Maximum Percentage”). The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage
provisions of this Section 2(d), provided that the Maximum Percentage 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(d) 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. For purposes of this Section 2(d), the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of Warrant Shares which are subject to the Notice of Exercise with
respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant and beneficially owned by the Holder or any of
its Affiliates, and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates that are subject to a limitation on conversion or
exercise similar to the limitation contained herein. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of 

  
 2. 

 
whether this Warrant shall be exercisable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates) and of which such securities
shall be exercisable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined by the Holder, and the Company shall have no responsibility for determining the accuracy of the Holder’s
determination. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. For the purposes of
this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be
defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations
contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority
of its outstanding Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Warrant. 

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 (collectively with the actions described in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), a “Share Reorganization”), 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, but if the
Company shall legally abandon any such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification prior to effecting such action, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 3(a) in respect of such action. 

b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common
Stock (and not to the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than a Share Reorganization, then, in each such case, the Exercise Price
shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP (as defined
below) determined as of the record date, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed
applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith; provided that in no event shall the Exercise Price be increased as a result of the application of this Section 3(b). Simultaneously
with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3(b), the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise
Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein). In either case the
adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustments shall be made whenever
any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above, but if the Company shall legally abandon any such distribution prior to effecting such distribution, no adjustments shall be made pursuant to
this Section 3(b) in respect of such action. 

  
 3. 

 For purposes of this Section 3(b), “VWAP” means, for any date, the price
determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on
the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time), (b) if the OTC Bulletin Board is not a Trading
Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for
the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so
reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably
acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company. 
 c) 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 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 whereby such other Person 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 (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(d) 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 (together, the “Alternate Consideration”), if any, 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(d) 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. Any such payment of such amount of such Alternative Consideration
shall be made in the same form of consideration (whether securities, cash or property) as is given to the holders of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and if multiple forms of consideration are given, the consideration shall be paid to
the Holder in the same proportion as such consideration is paid to the holders of Common Stock. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity
to comply with the provisions of this Section 3(c) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent Fundamental Transaction. 

d) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest whole share, as the case
may be. For purposes of this Section 3, any calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall not include treasury shares, if any. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 3, no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided however, that any adjustments which by reason of the immediately
preceding sentence are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. In any case in which this Section 3 shall require that an adjustment in the Exercise Price be made effective as of a
record date for a specified event, if Holder exercises this Warrant after such record date, the Company may elect to defer, until the occurrence of such event, the issuance of the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company in
excess of the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Exercise Price in effect prior to such 

  
 4. 

 
adjustment; provided, however, that in such case the Company or the Warrant Agent shall deliver to the Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing the Holder’s
right to receive such additional shares and/or other capital securities upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment. 
 e)
Par Value. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, in no event shall the Exercise Price be reduced below the par value of the Company’s Common Stock. 

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant. 
 a)
Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, 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 the Warrant Agent (or other 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. 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. 

b) New Warrants. Subject to and in accordance with Section 6 the Warrant Agency Agreement, this Warrant may be divided or combined
with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company or the Warrant Agent (or other designated agent), 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 (or cause the Warrant Agent to 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 issuance date set forth on the first page of this
Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto. 
 c) Warrant
Register. This Warrant shall be issuable in book entry form (the “Book-Entry Warrant Certificate”) and shall initially be represented by one or more Book-Entry Warrant Certificates deposited with The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC, or as otherwise directed by DTC. Ownership of beneficial interests in this Warrant shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected
through, records maintained by (i) DTC or its nominee for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate or (ii) institutions that have accounts with DTC (the “Warrant Register”). If DTC subsequently ceases to make its book-entry
settlement system available for this Warrant, the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent regarding other arrangements for book-entry settlement. In the event that this Warrant is not eligible for, or it is no longer necessary to have this Warrant
available in, book-entry form, the Warrant Agent shall provide written instructions to DTC to deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, and the Company shall cause the Warrant Agent to deliver to the Holder a
physical certificate in the form of this Warrant and the Company or the Warrant Agent shall, thereafter, register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, 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. 

Section 5. 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(c)(i). 

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

  
 5. 

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

d) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein). The Company further
covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the
purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of the Trading Market 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). 
 e) No Impairment. Except and to
the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, 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 the Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any
Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid
and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use 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. 
 f) Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof. 

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

h) Notices. 
 i. Notice
Procedures. 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 Warrant Agency Agreement. 

ii. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares is adjusted pursuant to any provision of
Section 3, the Company shall (or cause the Warrant Agent to) promptly provide the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring
such adjustment. 
 iii. Notice of Certain Events. The Company shall (or shall cause the Warrant Agent to) promptly provide the Holder
a notice of occurrence of the Unblinding Date and the PDUFA Date, which notice may be satisfied by issuance of a public press release by the Company containing such requisite information. 

iv. Notice to Allow Exercise by the Holder. After the Unblinding Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, 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, (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

  
 6. 

 
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, at least ten (10) 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. 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. 

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 the Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time
of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares. 
 l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or
amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and 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) Confidentiality. The Holder agrees to keep confidential any proprietary information relating to the Company delivered by the Company
or the Warrant Agent hereunder; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Holder from disclosing such information: (i) to any holder of Warrants or Warrant Shares, (ii) to any Affiliate of any holder of Warrants or Warrant Shares or
any actual or potential transferee of the rights or obligations hereunder that agrees to be bound by this Section 5(m), (iii) upon order, subpoena, or other process of any court or administrative agency or otherwise required by law,
(iv) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over such party, (v) which has been publicly disclosed without breach of any obligation to the Company, (vi) which has been obtained from any
Person that is not a party hereto or an Affiliate of any such party without any breach of any obligation to the Company, (vii) in connection with the exercise of any remedy, or the resolution of any dispute hereunder, (viii) to the legal
counsel or certified public accountants for any holder of Warrants or Warrant Shares, or (ix) as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not provide material, non-public information or
confidential or proprietary information to the Holder without such Holder’s written consent. 
 o) Dispute Resolution. In the
case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of
receipt of the Exercise Notice giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Warrant

  
 7. 

 
Shares within three Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via
facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the
Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results
no later than ten Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent
demonstrable error. The expenses of the investment bank and accountant will be borne by the Company unless the investment bank or accountant determines that the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant
Shares by the Holder was incorrect, in which case the expenses of the investment bank and accountant will be borne by the Holder.

 Exhibit 4.3 

WARRANT AGENCY AGREEMENT 

WARRANT AGENCY AGREEMENT, dated as of February [—], 2014 (this
“Agreement”), between Sunesis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, a New York limited liability trust company (the
“Warrant Agent”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H 

WHEREAS, pursuant to an offering by the Company (the “Offering”) of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the
“Common Stock”), and warrants to purchase Common Stock, pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated February [—], 2014 and related prospectus (together, the
“Prospectus”) that are part of a registration statement on Form S-3 (333-187854) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company wishes to issue Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants (together, the
“Warrants”) in book entry form entitling the respective holders of the Warrants (the “Holders”, which term shall include a Holder’s transferees, successors and assigns) to purchase an aggregate of 4,650,000
shares of Common Stock pursuant to Series A Warrants and 4,650,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to Series B Warrants, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Warrants; 

WHEREAS, the shares of Common Stock and Warrants to be issued in connection with the Offering shall be immediately separable and will be
issued separately, but will be purchased together in the Offering; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company wishes the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of
the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange, exercise and replacement of the Warrants and, in the Warrant Agent’s capacity as the Company’s transfer agent, the
delivery of the Warrant Shares. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties
hereby agree as follows: 
         Section 1. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the
following terms have the meanings indicated: 
 (a) “Affiliate” has the meaning ascribed to it in Rule 12b-2 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). 
 (b) “Business Day” means any day
except any Saturday, any Sunday, any day which is a federal legal holiday in the United States or any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close. 

(c) “Close of Business” on any given date means 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date; provided, however,
that if such date is not a Business Day it means 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day. 
 (e)
“Person” means an individual, corporation, association, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, unincorporated organization, government or political subdivision thereof or governmental agency or other entity.

 (j) “Warrant Certificates” means a certificate in substantially the form
attached as Exhibit A hereto with respect to the Series A Warrants and a certificate in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B hereto with respect to the Series B Warrants, each representing such number of Warrant Shares as is
indicated on the face thereof, provided that any reference to the delivery of a Warrant Certificate in this Agreement shall include delivery of notice from the Depository or a Participant (each as defined below) of the transfer or exercise of the
Warrant in the form of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate (as defined below). 
 (k) “Warrant Shares” means the shares of
Common Stock underlying the Warrants and issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. For purposes of clarity only, on the date hereof, the number of Warrant Shares underlying each Series A Warrant and each Series B Warrant of the initial Holder equals
the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by such initial Holder in the Company’s offering pursuant to the Prospectus. 
 All other capitalized
terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Warrant Certificate. 
 Section 2.
Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Company may from time
to time appoint such Co-Warrant Agents as it may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or desirable. 
 Section 3. Book-Entry
Warrant Certificates. 
 (a) The Warrants shall be issuable in book entry (the “Book-Entry Warrant Certificates”). All
of the Warrants shall initially be represented by one or more Book-Entry Warrant Certificates deposited with The Depository Trust Company (the “Depository”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of the
Depository, or as otherwise directed by the Depository. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Warrants shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained by (i) the Depository or its nominee
for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate or (ii) institutions that have accounts with the Depository (such institution, with respect to a Warrant in its account, a “Participant”). 

(b) If the Depository subsequently ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the Warrants, the Company may instruct the
Warrant Agent regarding other arrangements for book-entry settlement. In the event that the Warrants are not eligible for, or it is no longer necessary to have the Warrants available in, book-entry form, the Warrant Agent shall provide written
instructions to the Depository to deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, and the Company shall instruct the Warrant Agent to deliver to each Holder a Warrant Certificate. 

Section 4. Form of Warrant Certificates. The Warrant Certificates, together with the form of election to purchase Common Stock
(“Exercise Notice”) and the form of assignment, shall be substantially in the forms of Exhibit A and Exhibit B hereto as applicable. 

Section 5. Countersignature and Registration. 

(a) The Warrant Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or any Vice
President, either manually or by facsimile signature. The Warrant Certificates shall be countersigned by the Warrant Agent either manually or by facsimile signature and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. In case any officer
of the Company who shall have signed any of the Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such officer of the 

 
Company before countersignature by the Warrant Agent and issuance and delivery by the Company, such Warrant Certificates, nevertheless, may be countersigned by the Warrant Agent, issued and
delivered with the same force and effect as though the person who signed such Warrant Certificate had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual
date of the execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement any such person was not such an officer. 

(b) The Warrant Agent will keep or cause to be kept, at one of its offices, or at the office of one of its agents, books for registration and
transfer of the Warrant Certificates issued hereunder. Such books shall show the names and addresses of the respective holders of the Warrant Certificates, the number of warrants evidenced on the face of each of such Warrant Certificate and the date
of each of such Warrant Certificate. 
 (c) The Warrant Agent will create a special account for the issuance of Warrant Certificates. 

Section 6. Transfer, Split Up, Combination and Exchange of Warrant Certificates; Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Warrant
Certificates. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of the Warrant Certificates and the last sentence of this first paragraph of
Section 6 and subject to applicable law, rules or regulations, or any “stop transfer” instructions the Company may give to the Warrant Agent, at any time after the closing date of the Offering, and at or prior to the Close of Business
on the Expiration Date, any Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates or Book-Entry Warrant Certificate or Book-Entry Warrant Certificates may be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates
or Book-Entry Warrant Certificate or Book-Entry Warrant Certificates, entitling the Holder to purchase a like number of shares of Common Stock as the Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates or Book-Entry Warrant Certificate or Book-Entry Warrant
Certificates surrendered then entitled such Holder to purchase. Any Holder desiring to transfer, split up, combine or exchange any Warrant Certificate or Book-Entry Warrant Certificate shall make such request in writing delivered to the Warrant
Agent, and shall surrender the Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates to be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged at the principal office of the Warrant Agent, provided that no such surrender is applicable to the Holder of a Book-Entry
Warrant Certificate. Any requested transfer of Warrants, whether in book-entry form or certificate form, shall be accompanied by evidence of authority of the party making such request, which evidence shall include a signature guarantee from an
eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association, and any other reasonable evidence of authority that may be required by the Warrant Agent. Thereupon the Warrant Agent
shall, subject to the last sentence of this first paragraph of Section 6, countersign and deliver to the Person entitled thereto a Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates, as the case may be, as so requested. The Company may require payment
from the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, split up, combination or exchange of Warrant Certificates. The Company shall compensate the Warrant Agent per the fee
schedule mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto and provided separately on the date hereof. 
 (b) Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Warrant Certificate, which evidence shall include an affidavit of loss, or in the case of mutilated certificates, the certificate or portion thereof remaining,
and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security in customary form and amount which shall include a corporate bond of indemnity satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, and satisfaction of any other reasonable requirements established
by Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware, and reimbursement to the Company and the Warrant Agent of all reasonable expenses 

 
incidental thereto, and upon surrender to the Warrant Agent and cancellation of the Warrant Certificate if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor to
the Warrant Agent for delivery to the Holder in lieu of the Warrant Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated. 
 Section 7.
Exercise of Warrants; Exercise Price; Termination Date. 
 (a) The Warrants shall be exercisable commencing on the Unblinding Date.
The Warrants shall cease to be exercisable and shall terminate and become void, and all rights thereunder and under this Agreement shall cease, at or prior to the Close of Business on the Expiration Date. Subject to the foregoing and to
Section 7(b) below, the Holder of a Warrant may exercise the Warrant in whole or in part upon surrender of the Warrant Certificate, if required, with the executed Exercise Notice and payment of the Exercise Price, which shall be made, at the
option of the holder, by wire transfer to the Warrant Agent at the principal office of the Warrant Agent or to the office of one of its agents as may be designated by the Warrant Agent from time to time, all as specified in the Warrant Certificate.
In the case of the Holder of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, the Holder shall deliver the executed Exercise Notice and the payment of the Exercise Price as described herein. Upon receipt of payment of the Exercise Price by the Warrant Agent or one
of its agents, the Warrant Agent or such agent shall promptly remit such payment to the Company at an account designated by the Company to the Warrant Agent. 

(b) Upon the Warrant Agent’s receipt of an executed Exercise Notice, accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for the shares to be
purchased and an amount equal to any applicable tax, governmental charge or expense reimbursement referred to in Section 6 by wire transfer (or, in the case of the holder of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, the delivery of the executed
Exercise Notice and the payment of the Exercise Price and any other applicable amounts as set forth herein), the Warrant Agent shall cause the Warrant Shares underlying such Warrant Certificate or Book-Entry Warrant Certificate to be delivered to or
upon the order of the Holder of such Warrant Certificate or Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be designated by such Holder, no later than the Warrant Share Delivery Date. If the Company is then a participant in
the DWAC system of the Depository, then the certificates for Warrant Shares shall be transmitted by the Warrant Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s broker with the Depository through its DWAC system. 

(c) The Warrant Agent shall deposit all funds received by it in payment of the Exercise Price for all Warrants in the account of the Company
maintained with the Warrant Agent for such purpose (or to such other account as directed by the Company in writing) and shall advise the Company via telephone at the end of each day on which funds for the exercise of any Warrant are received of the
amount so deposited to its account. The Warrant Agent shall promptly confirm such telephonic advice to the Company in writing. 
 (d) In
case the Holder of any Warrant Certificate shall exercise fewer than all Warrants evidenced thereby, at the request of the Holder, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants equivalent to the number of Warrants remaining unexercised
may be issued by the Warrant Agent to the Holder of such Warrant Certificate or to his duly authorized assigns in accordance with Section 2(c)(ii) of the Warrant Certificate, subject to the provisions of Sections 6 hereof. 

Section 8. Cancellation and Destruction of Warrant Certificates. All Warrant Certificates surrendered for the purpose of exercise,
transfer, split up, combination or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or to any of its agents, be delivered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation or in canceled form, or, if surrendered to the Warrant Agent, shall be canceled by it, and
no Warrant Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Warrant Agent shall so cancel
and retire, any other Warrant Certificate purchased or acquired by the Company otherwise than 

 
upon the exercise thereof. The Warrant Agent shall deliver all canceled Warrant Certificates to the Company, or shall, at the written request of the Company, destroy such canceled Warrant
Certificates, and in such case shall deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the Company, subject to any applicable law, rule or regulation requiring the Warrant Agent to retain such canceled certificates. 

Section 9. Certain Representations; Reservation and Availability of Shares of Common Stock. 

(a) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery
hereof by the Warrant Agent, constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, and the Warrants have been duly authorized, executed and issued by the Company and, assuming
due authentication thereof by the Warrant Agent pursuant hereto and payment therefor by the Holders as provided in the Warrants, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their
terms and entitled to the benefits hereof; in each case except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general
equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
 (b) The Company
covenants and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock or its authorized and issued shares of Common Stock held in its treasury, free from preemptive rights, the number of
shares of Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants. 
 (c) The Warrant Agent will
create a special account for the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants. 
 (d) The Company further covenants and agrees
that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and state transfer taxes and charges which may be payable in respect of the original issuance or delivery of the Warrant Certificates or certificates evidencing Common Stock upon exercise of
the Warrants. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax or governmental charge which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the transfer or delivery of Warrant Certificates or the issuance or delivery of certificates
for Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing Warrants surrendered for exercise or to issue or deliver any certificate for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any Warrants until any such tax
or governmental charge shall have been paid (any such tax or governmental charge being payable by the holder of such Warrant Certificate at the time of surrender) or until it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no
such tax or governmental charge is due. 
 Section 10. Common Stock Record Date. Each Person in whose name any certificate for
shares of Common Stock is issued (or to whose broker’s account is credited shares of Common Stock through the DWAC system) upon the exercise of Warrants shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record for the Common Stock
represented thereby on, and such certificate shall be dated, the date upon which the Warrant was properly exercised in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price (and any applicable transfer taxes) was
made; provided, however, that if the date of such exercise and payment is a date upon which the Common Stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become the record holder of such shares on, and
such certificate shall be dated, the next succeeding day on which the Common Stock transfer books of the Company are open. 

Section 11. Adjustment of Exercise Price, Number of Shares of Common Stock or Number of the Company Warrants. The Exercise Price,
the number of shares covered by each Warrant and the number of 

 
Warrants outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 3 of the Warrant Certificate. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made
pursuant to Section 3 of the Warrant Certificate, the holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other
shares so receivable upon exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the shares contained in Section 3 of the
Warrant Certificate shall apply on like terms to any such other shares. All Warrants originally issued by the Company subsequent to any adjustment made to the Exercise Price pursuant to the Warrant Certificate shall evidence the right to purchase,
at the adjusted Exercise Price, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable from time to time hereunder upon exercise of the Warrants, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. 

Section 12. Certification of Adjusted Exercise Price or Number of Shares of Common Stock. Whenever the Exercise Price or the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted as provided in Section 11, the Company shall (a) promptly prepare a certificate setting forth the Exercise Price of each Warrant as so adjusted, and a
brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment, (b) promptly file with the Warrant Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Stock a copy of such certificate and (c) instruct the Warrant Agent to mail a brief summary
thereof to each Holder. 
 Section 13. Fractional Shares of Common Stock. 

(a) The Company shall not issue fractions of Warrants or distribute Warrant Certificates which evidence fractional Warrants. Whenever any
fractional Warrant would otherwise be required to be issued or distributed, the actual issuance or distribution shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole Warrant (rounded down). 

(b) The Company shall not issue fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of Warrants or distribute stock certificates which evidence
fractional shares of Common Stock. Whenever any fraction of a share of Common Stock would otherwise be required to be issued or distributed, the actual issuance or distribution in respect thereof shall be made in accordance with
Section 2(c)(iv) of the Warrant Certificates. 
 Section 14. Concerning the Warrant Agent. 

(a) The Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent, pursuant to the fee schedule mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto and provided
separately on the date hereof, for all services rendered by it hereunder and, from time to time, its reasonable expenses and counsel fees and other disbursements actually incurred in the administration and execution of this Agreement and the
exercise and performance of its duties hereunder. 
 (b) The Company covenants and agrees to indemnify and to hold the Warrant Agent
harmless against any costs, expenses (including reasonable fees of its legal counsel), losses or damages, which may be paid, incurred or suffered by or to which it may become subject, arising from or out of, directly or indirectly, any claims or
liability resulting from its actions as Warrant Agent pursuant hereto; provided, that such covenant and agreement does not extend to, and the Warrant Agent shall not be indemnified with respect to, such costs, expenses, losses and damages incurred
or suffered by the Warrant Agent as a result of, or arising out of, its gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct. 
 (c) In
order that the indemnification provisions contained in this Section 14 shall apply, upon the assertion of a claim for which one party may be required to indemnify the other, the party 

 
seeking indemnification shall promptly notify the other party of such assertion, and shall keep the other party advised with respect to all developments concerning such claim. The indemnifying
party shall have the option to participate with the indemnified party in the defense of such claim or to defend against said claim in its own name or the name of the indemnified party. The indemnified party shall in no case confess any claim or make
any compromise in any case in which the indemnifying party may be required to indemnify it except with the indemnifying party’s prior written consent. 

(d) Subject to Section 14(b) above, neither party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other party for any consequential, indirect,
special or incidental damages under any provisions of this Agreement or for any consequential, indirect, penal, special or incidental damages arising out of any act or failure to act hereunder even if that party has been advised of or has foreseen
the possibility of such damages. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the rights and obligations of the parties
set forth in this Section 14 shall survive termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent. 

Section 15. Purchase or Consolidation or Change of Name of Warrant Agent. 

(a) Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent shall be party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent, shall
be the successor to the Warrant Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor
Warrant Agent under the provisions of Section 17. In case at the time such successor Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such
successor Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the predecessor Warrant Agent and deliver such Warrant Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor
Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the
Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement. 
 (b) In case at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at such time any
of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver Warrant Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Warrant
Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the
Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement. 
 Section 16. Duties of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent undertakes the duties and
obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company, by its acceptance hereof, shall be bound: 

(a) The Warrant Agent may consult with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company (who may be legal counsel for the Company), and the
opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Warrant Agent as to any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such opinion. 

 (b) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the Warrant Agent shall deem
it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be
deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Vice President of the Company; and such certificate shall be full authentication to the Warrant Agent for any action
taken or suffered in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate. 
 (c) Subject to the
limitation set forth in Section 14, the Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or for a breach by it of this Agreement. 

(d) The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the
Warrant Certificates (except its countersignature thereof) by the Company or be required to verify the same, but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only. 

(e) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof
(except the due execution hereof by the Warrant Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution of any Warrant Certificate (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or
condition contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate; nor shall it be responsible for the adjustment of the Exercise Price or the making of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock required under the provisions of
Section 11 or 13 or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such change or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment or change (except with respect to the exercise of Warrants evidenced by
Warrant Certificates after actual notice of any adjustment of the Exercise Price); nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of Common Stock to be issued
pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant Certificate or as to whether any shares of Common Stock will, when issued, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 

(f) Each party hereto agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and
delivered all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the other party hereto for the carrying out or performing by any party of the provisions of this Agreement. 

(g) The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from the Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Vice President of the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and it shall not be liable and shall be indemnified and held harmless for any action
taken or suffered to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such officer, provided Warrant Agent carries out such instructions without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 

(h) The Warrant Agent and any shareholder, director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or
other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent under
this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity. 

 (i) The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or
perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorney or agents, and the Warrant Agent shall not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorney or agents or for any loss to the Company
resulting from any such act, default, neglect or misconduct, provided reasonable care was exercised in the selection and continued employment thereof. 

Section 17. Change of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon 30
days’ notice in writing mailed to the Company and to each transfer agent of the Common Stock by registered or certified mail, and to the holders of the Warrant Certificates by first-class mail. The Company may remove the Warrant Agent or any
successor Warrant Agent upon 30 days’ notice in writing, mailed to the Warrant Agent or successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be, and to each transfer agent of the Common Stock by registered or certified mail, and to the holders of the
Warrant Certificates by first-class mail. If the Warrant Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment
within a period of 30 days after such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Warrant Agent or by the holder of a Warrant Certificate (who shall, with such notice, submit
his Warrant Certificate for inspection by the Company), then the Holder of any Warrant Certificate may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Warrant Agent. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the
Company or by such a court, shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of a state thereof, in good standing, which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authority and which has at the time of its appointment as Warrant Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. After appointment, the successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with the
same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Warrant Agent without further act or deed; but the predecessor Warrant Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Warrant Agent any property at the time
held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment, the Company shall file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor
Warrant Agent and each transfer agent of the Common Stock, and mail a notice thereof in writing to the Holders of the Warrant Certificates. However, failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 17, or any defect therein, shall not
affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of the successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be. 

Section 18 Issuance of New Warrant Certificates. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the Warrants to the
contrary, the Company may, at its option, issue new Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants in such form as may be approved by its Board of Directors to reflect any adjustment or change in the Exercise Price per share and the number or kind or
class of shares of stock or other securities or property purchasable under the several Warrant Certificates made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
