TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF 
PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AWARD
Veritiv Corporation (the “Company”) has granted an Award of Performance Share Units under the Plan to the Grantee named in this Award Agreement, subject to the provisions of the Plan and the terms and conditions set out below, which are incorporated into and made a part of this Award Agreement.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Award Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
1.Performance Goals.
(a)Return on Invested Capital.  Subject to the TSR Modifier determined in accordance with Section 2 below, [  ] percent ([  ]%) of the Performance Share Units granted pursuant to this Award Agreement shall be earned based on the achievement of specified levels of ROIC (as defined below) for each of the Company’s [  ], [  ] and [  ] fiscal years (each a “Performance Period,” and collectively the “Performance Period”), in accordance with the following performance matrix specifying the applicable threshold, target and maximum performance and Achievement Levels for each Performance Period).   Following the end of each Performance Period, the Administrator shall determine the level of achievement for such Performance Period, calculated as a percentage of the target level (the “Achievement Level”).  After the end of the final Performance Period, but prior to the application of the TSR Modifier, the Administrator shall calculate the payout percentage of the portion of the Award relating to ROIC, which shall be equal to the average of the Achievement Levels for each of the Performance Periods.  For purposes of this Agreement, “ROIC” shall mean the Company’s (i) Net Operating Profit for the Performance Period, divided by the sum of (ii) Average Net Working Capital for the four fiscal quarters during the Performance Period and (iii) Average Property, Plant and Equipment for the four fiscal quarters during the Performance Period, each as determined by the Administrator in a manner consistent with the Company’s financial statements. “Net Operating Profit” shall mean AIP Earnings (Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges, integration and acquisition, changes in the LIFO reserve, non-restructuring pension charges, net, fair value adjustments related to contingent liabilities assumed in mergers and acquisitions and certain other adjustments)) minus depreciation minus amortization and then multiplied by 0.74.

	Maximum	[  ]% or Above	[  ]% or Above	[  ]% or Above	[  ]%

	Threshold	[  ]%	[  ]%	[  ]%	[  ]%
	Below Threshold	Below [  ]%	Below [  ]%	Below [  ]%	0%

*  For performance between the established levels, the Achievement Level will be based on linear interpolation between such levels.
(b)Packaging Gross Profit Dollar Growth.  Subject to the TSR Modifier determined in accordance with Section 2 below, [  ] percent ([  ]%) of the Performance Share 
2

Units granted pursuant to this Award Agreement shall be earned based on the achievement of specified levels of Packaging GP$ Growth (as defined below) for each of the Company’s [  ], [  ] and [  ] Performance Periods, in accordance with the following performance matrix specifying the applicable threshold, target and maximum performance and Achievement Levels for each Performance Period).  Following the end of each Performance Period, the Administrator shall determine the Achievement Level for such Performance Period, calculated as a percentage of the target level.  After the end of the final Performance Period, but prior to the application of the TSR Modifier, the Administrator shall calculate the payout percentage of the portion of the Award relating to Packaging GP$ Growth, which shall be equal to the average of the Achievement Levels for each of the Performance Periods.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Packaging GP$ Growth” shall mean Net Sales for the Packaging segment minus cost of products sold for the Packaging segment and excluding the impact of LIFO (last in, first out) accounting of inventory for the Performance Period, as determined by the Administrator in a manner consistent with the Company’s financial statements.

*  For performance between the established levels, the Achievement Level will be based on linear interpolation between such levels.
(c)With respect to each of the Performance Goals set forth above, the Administrator may in its sole discretion modify the Performance Goal or the related minimum acceptable level of achievement, in whole or in part, as the Administrator deems appropriate and equitable (i) to reflect a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company or its Affiliates, the manner in which it conducts its business, or other events or circumstances; or (ii) in the event that the Grantee’s responsibilities materially change.  
2.TSR Modifier.  The percentage of Performance Share Units earned based on ROIC and the percentage of Performance Share Units earned based on Packaging GP$ Growth, determined in accordance with Section 1, in each case will be subject to a modifier based on the Company’s Relative TSR Performance (the "TSR Modifier"), which will either increase the percentage payout by [  ] percentage points or decrease the percentage payout by [  ] percentage points, as shown in the following chart:
3

						
	Relative TSR Performance	TSR Modifier
	≥[  ]th percentile	plus [  ] percentage points
	≥[  ]th percentile – <[  ]th percentile	no change
	≤[  ]th percentile	minus [  ] percentage points

"Relative TSR Performance" means the percentile ranking of the Company’s Total Shareholder Return among the members of the TSR Comparator Group during the Measurement Period.  For purposes of determining Relative TSR Performance:
(i)the companies included in the TSR Comparator Group shall be determined at the beginning of the Measurement Period; 
(ii)in the event of a stock split or recapitalization of the Company or any member of the TSR Comparator Group, the average trading price of a share of such company’s common stock as of the beginning of the Measurement Period will be adjusted appropriately; 
(iii)in the event of the bankruptcy, delisting, or liquidation of a member of the TSR Comparator Group, such member will be deemed to have a total shareholder return equal to -100%; 
(iv)in the event of the public announcement of an acquisition or privatization of a member of the TSR Comparator Group during the first two years of the Measurement Period, such member will be deemed not to be a member of the TSR Comparator Group, effective as of the beginning of the Measurement Period; 
(v)in the event of the public announcement of an acquisition or privatization of a member of the TSR Comparator Group during the third year of the Measurement Period, the total shareholder return of such member and the Company will be determined as of the date of such public announcement and such member shall be ranked either above or below the Company at such time and for the remainder of the Measurement Period;
(vi)in the event a member of the TSR Comparator Group enters into a definitive agreement to be acquired by the Company or one of its subsidiaries, such member will be deemed not to be a member of the TSR Comparator Group, effective as of the beginning of the Measurement Period;
(vii)in the event that the total shareholder return of the Company is within 1/10th of a percent of the total shareholder return of a member of the TSR Comparator Group, then the Company will be ranked above such member of the TSR Comparator Group.
"TSR Comparator Group" means the following companies: [  ]
"Total Shareholder Return” means, with respect to the period beginning January 1, [  ] and ending December 31, [  ] (the “Measurement Period”), the cumulative total shareholder return calculated with respect to each of the Company and each member of the TSR Comparator Group, which shall be expressed as a percentage equal to (a) the appreciation in the common stock price of the company from the beginning of the Measurement Period to the end of the Measurement Period (or such other period as specified herein), plus dividends deemed reinvested in company common stock on a monthly basis, divided by (b) the common stock price of the company at the beginning of the Measurement Period.  For this purpose, stock prices at the beginning and end of the Measurement Period (or such other period as specified herein) will be determined using the 
4

trailing average closing stock price during the 30 days prior to the beginning and end of such period, as applicable.
3.Determination and Payment of Performance Share Units Earned.  
(a)As soon as practicable after the last day of the Performance Period, the Administrator shall determine the extent, if any, to which each of the applicable Performance Goals has been satisfied and shall determine the number (if any) of Performance Share Units that have been earned in accordance with this Award Agreement, which earned Performance Share Units shall be paid to the Grantee not later than March 15th of the year following the last day of the Performance Period.  Each Performance Share Unit earned and vested pursuant to this Award Agreement shall represent the contingent right to receive one Share, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement.
(b)Except as otherwise provided in Sections 4(b) or 4(d) hereof, the Performance Share Units allocated to a Performance Period shall be forfeited automatically without further action or notice to the extent that such Performance Share Units are not earned pursuant to this Award Agreement based upon the achievement of the Performance Goal for the applicable Performance Period.
4.Vesting.  
(a)The Performance Share Units (if any) that are earned pursuant to this Award Agreement shall become vested and nonforfeitable provided that the Grantee remains in the continuous employment or other service of the Company and its Subsidiaries through the date on which payment of the Performance Share Units is made, except as otherwise provided herein.
(b)Notwithstanding Section 4(a), if the Grantee’s continuous employment or other service with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates prior to the payment of the Performance Share Units as a result of the Grantee’s death, a pro rata portion of the Performance Shares shall become vested, determined by multiplying the target number of Performance Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of continuous employment or other service completed by the Grantee after the Grant Date and the denominator of which is 1096.
(c)Notwithstanding Section 4(a), if the Grantee’s continuous employment or other service with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates prior to the payment of the Performance Share Units as a result of the Grantee’s Disability or Retirement (defined as the Grantee’s voluntary termination of employment with the consent of the Administrator (or the Administrator’s delegate) at or after age 60 with at least five years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries), a pro rata portion of the Performance Share Units shall become vested, determined by multiplying the number of Performance Share Units that would have been earned pursuant to Section 2 and Section 3 hereof, based upon actual achievement of the applicable Performance Goals if the Grantee had remained in the continuous employment or other service of the Company and its Subsidiaries through the last day of the Performance Period, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of continuous employment or other service completed by the Grantee after the Grant Date and the denominator of which is 1096.
(d)In the event of a Change in Control prior to the payment of the Performance Share Units:
(i)If the Performance Share Units are honored, assumed or substituted in the form of an Alternative Award, and the Grantee’s continuous employment or other service with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated after the Change in Control and prior to the payment of the Performance Share Units (A) by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause, or (B) if the Grantee is covered by a severance plan, employment agreement or offer letter with the Company or a Subsidiary that 
5

provides for severance benefits in the event of a termination by the Grantee for Good Reason, by the Grantee for Good Reason, then the Performance Share Units, to the extent not previously vested or forfeited, will vest, without pro ration and effective upon such termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, as follows: (x) with respect to any Performance Period completed prior to the date of such termination of employment, the number of Performance Share Units earned pursuant to Section 2 and Section 3 hereof, shall be based upon actual achievement of the applicable Performance Goals with respect to such Performance Period, and (y) with respect to any Performance Period not completed prior to the date of such termination of employment, the  number of Performance Share Units earned pursuant to Section 2 and Section 3 hereof shall be determined as  though the Performance Goals were satisfied at the target level of performance.
(ii)If the Performance Share Units are not honored, assumed or substituted in the form of an Alternative Award, then the target number of Performance Share Units will vest in full, without pro ration, effective upon such Change in Control.
(e)For purposes of this Section 4, the continuous employment or other service of the Grantee with the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and the Grantee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an Employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries, by reason of the transfer of his or her employment or other service among the Company and its Subsidiaries.
5.Forfeiture of Performance Share Units.
(a)Except as otherwise provided in Section 4 of this Award Agreement or as otherwise determined by the Committee or as otherwise provided in the Grantee’s employment agreement (if any) with the Company or a Subsidiary (including, without limitation, an offer letter), or as otherwise provided in a Company severance or other agreement (if any) to which the Grantee is a party or a participant, the Performance Share Units will automatically be forfeited without further action by the Company or the Grantee if the Grantee’s employment or other service with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason (including, without limitation, in the event of termination of the Grantee’s employment or other service by the Company or a Subsidiary for Cause) prior to the payment of the Performance Share Units.
(b)If the Company determines that the Grantee has committed an act of Misconduct either during employment or other service or within 180 days thereafter, the Company or Affiliate may cause the Performance Share Units to be forfeited or, if paid, the Company shall be entitled to repayment of the Performance Share Units previously paid under this Award Agreement within 30 days of the issuance of a letter by the Company to the Grantee claiming such Misconduct and demand for repayment.  For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Misconduct” shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion and shall include, but not be limited to, any act detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company, any act determined to be a deliberate disregard of the Company’s  or Affiliate’s rules or policies, or any violation of any confidentiality, non-solicitation or non-competition restriction applicable to the Grantee.
(c)The Company shall have the sole and absolute discretion to take action or not to take action pursuant to this Section 5 upon discovery of Misconduct, and its determination not to take action in any particular instance shall not in any way limit its authority to cause the forfeiture of the Performance Share Units or to recoup the Award by sending a notice in any other instance.
6

(d)The Performance Share Units shall be subject to any generally applicable policies as to forfeiture, recoupment or “clawback” adopted by the Company or an Affiliate that are communicated to the Grantee or any such policy adopted to comply with applicable law.
(e)Further, as a convenience and benefit to the Grantee in facilitating the repayment, the Grantee hereby authorizes the Company or Affiliate to withhold funds from any remaining payroll compensation, including pay for unused vacation, to be applied toward any repayment pursuant to this Section 5, where the law allows.
6.Shareholder Rights.  The Company's obligations with respect to the Performance Share Units shall be satisfied in full upon payment in accordance with Section 3 hereof.  The Grantee shall not possess any incidents of ownership (including, without limitation, dividend or voting rights) in the Shares to which the Performance Share Units relate until such time as such Shares have been delivered to the Grantee in accordance with Section 3 hereof.  The rights of the Grantee hereunder will be no greater than those of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. No assets of the Company will be held or set aside as security for the obligations of the Company hereunder.
7.Section 409A of the Code.  The Company intends that each Award of Performance Share Units will be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and this Award Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with such intent.  In particular, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary: (a) the phrase “termination of employment or other service” or words of similar import shall mean the Grantee’s “separation from service” with the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code; (b) if the Grantee is a “specified employee” at the time of his or her “separation from service” with the Company (as determined by the Company in accordance with Section 409A of the Code), then, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code, any Performance Share Units otherwise payable as a result of the Grantee’s separation from service shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the first business day which is at least six (6) months after the Grantee’s separation from service (or if earlier, within 70 days after the Grantee’s death); and (c) to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code, any Performance Share Units otherwise payable as a result of a Change in Control shall not be paid at such time unless the Change in Control qualifies as a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and payment at such time is otherwise permitted without the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A of the Code (and if payment of Performance Share Units that become vested upon a Change in Control is not so permitted, payment of such vested Performance Share Units will be made on the earlier of the last day of the Performance Period or within 70 days after the Grantee’s separation from service (subject to any six-month delay required for a specified employee as provided herein)).  Although the Company will use reasonable efforts to avoid the imposition of taxation, interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, the tax treatment of the Performance Share Units is not warranted or guaranteed.  Neither the Company, its Subsidiaries nor their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by the Grantee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Grantee) as a result of this Award Agreement or the Performance Share Units granted hereunder.
8.Tax Withholding.  The Company shall be authorized to withhold any taxes or other amounts required to be withheld from any payment made with respect to Performance Share Units.  The Grantee is responsible for any federal, state, local or other taxes with respect to the Performance Share Units.  The Company does not guarantee any particular tax treatment or results in connection with the grant or vesting of the Performance Share Units or the payments made pursuant to this Award Agreement. To the extent the Company or any Subsidiary is required to withhold any federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes in connection with the delivery of Shares under this Award Agreement, then, except as otherwise provided below, the 
7

Company or Subsidiary (as applicable) shall retain a number of Shares otherwise deliverable hereunder with a value equal to the required withholding (based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of delivery); provided that in no event shall the value of the Shares retained exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld or such other amount that will not result in a negative accounting impact. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Grantee may elect, on a form provided by the Company and subject to any terms and conditions imposed by the Company, to pay or provide for payment of the required tax withholding.  If the Company or any Subsidiary is required to withhold any federal, state, local or other taxes at any time other than upon delivery of Shares under this Award Agreement, then the Company or Subsidiary (as applicable) shall have the right in its sole discretion to (a) require the Grantee to pay or provide for payment of the required tax withholding, or (b) deduct the required tax withholding from the amount of salary, bonus, incentive compensation or other amounts otherwise payable in cash to the Grantee (other than deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code).      
9.No Employment Contract.  Nothing contained in this Award Agreement or the Plan shall confer upon the Grantee any right with respect to continuance of employment by, or other service with, the Company and its Subsidiaries, nor limit or affect in any manner the right of the Company and its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment or other service or adjust the compensation of the Grantee, in each case with or without Cause.
10.Relation to Other Benefits.  Any economic or other benefit to the Grantee under this Award Agreement or the Plan shall not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any profit-sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by the Company or a Subsidiary and shall not affect the amount of any life insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under any life insurance plan covering employees of the Company or a Subsidiary.   
11.Transferability.  The Performance Share Units will not be subject to transfer, anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to transfer, anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge such right or benefit will be void. The Performance Share Units will not in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, liabilities, or torts of the Grantee.
12.Adjustments. The number and kind of Performance Share Units are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3 of the Plan. 
13.Compliance with Law. The Company shall make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws and listing requirements with respect to the Performance Share Units and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Award, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares pursuant to this Award Agreement if the delivery of Shares would result in a violation of any such law or listing requirement.
14.Successors.  The obligations of the Company under this Award Agreement shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company and its Affiliates, taken as a whole.
15.Severability.  If any provision of this Award Agreement is determined to be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law, such provision will be applied to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and shall automatically be deemed amended in a manner consistent with its objectives to the extent necessary to conform to any limitations required under applicable law.
8

16.Relation to Plan.  This Award Agreement and the Performance Share Units granted hereunder are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.  This Award Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior written or oral communications, representations and negotiations in respect thereto.  In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Award Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern.  The Administrator, acting pursuant to the Plan, have the right to determine any questions which arise in connection with the grant of the Performance Share Units.
17.Governing Law.  This Award Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the application of rules of conflict of law that would apply the laws of any other jurisdiction.
18.Amendment.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may modify this Award Agreement upon written notice to the Grantee.  Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Award Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable hereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing (and except as otherwise may be provided in the Plan), no amendment of the Plan or this Award Agreement shall adversely impair any rights of the Grantee under this Award Agreement without the Grantee’s written consent.
19.No Fractional Shares. Fractional Shares or units will be subject to rounding conventions adopted by the Company from time to time; provided that in no event will the total Shares issued exceed the total units granted under this Award Agreement.
20.Use of Grantee’s Information.  Information about the Grantee and the Grantee’s participation in the Plan may be collected, recorded and held, used and disclosed for any purpose related to the administration of the Plan.  The Grantee understands that such processing of this information may need to be carried out by the Company and its Subsidiaries and by third party administrators whether such persons are located within the Grantee’s country or elsewhere, including the United States of America.  The Grantee consents to the processing of information relating to the Grantee and the Grantee’s participation in the Plan in any one or more of the ways referred to above.
21.Electronic Delivery.  The Grantee hereby consents and agrees to electronic delivery of any documents that the Company may elect to deliver (including, but not limited to, prospectuses, prospectus supplements, grant or award notifications and agreements, account statements, annual and quarterly reports, and all other forms of communications) in connection with any Award made or offered under the Plan. The Grantee understands that, unless earlier revoked by the Grantee by giving written notice to the Company’s Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, this consent shall be effective for the duration of the Award.  The Grantee also understands that he or she shall have the right at any time to request that the Company deliver written copies of any and all materials referred to above at no charge. The Grantee hereby consents to any and all procedures the Company has established or may establish for an electronic signature system for delivery and acceptance of any such documents that the Company may elect to deliver, and agrees that his or her electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, his or her manual signature. The Grantee consents and agrees that any such procedures and delivery may be effected by a third party engaged by the Company to provide administrative services related to the Plan.

    subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and until this Warrant is exercised in full (the “Termination Date”) but not

   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 of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Annex A (the “Notice of Exercise”). 

    Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate
    Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice
    of Exercise.  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 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 on which 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) Trading 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 aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except for a nominal exercise price of $0.01 per Warrant Share, was pre-funded to the Company on or
    prior to the Initial Exercise Date and, consequently, no additional consideration (other than the nominal exercise price of $0.01 per Warrant Share) shall be required to be paid by the Holder to any Person to effect any exercise of this Warrant. The
    Holder shall not be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-paid aggregate exercise price under any circumstance or for any reason whatsoever, including in the event this Warrant shall not have been exercised prior to the
    Termination Date. The remaining unpaid exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.001, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

    Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered
    within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of
    Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

  “Bid Price” 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 bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (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 OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is

    outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

    York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b)  if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common
    Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid

  If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall
    take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised.  The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

    d)          Mechanics of Exercise.

  

  

  

  	

           	i.	
          Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise.  The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account
            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) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the
            Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days
            after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of
            Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares,
            provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within two (2) Trading Days following delivery of the Notice of Exercise.  If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the
            Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise
            (based on the 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 Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and
            exercisable.

        

  

     

  ii.          Delivery of New 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, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

   

  

  
    4

    
      

  

  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 in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery 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.

   

  

  
    5

    
      

  

  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 such 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 as Annex B (the “Assignment
      Form”) 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.

  

     

  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)         Beneficial Ownership 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 (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), 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 and Attribution Parties 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 or Attribution Parties 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 or Attribution Parties.  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 Attribution Parties) 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 Attribution Parties) 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 one (1) Trading Day 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 or Attribution
    Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be [4.99%/9.99%] 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 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 increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation 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.

  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.

  

     

  b)         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, that 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).

  

     

  c)         Pro Rata Distributions.  During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any
    dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of 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, that 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).

   

  

  
    7

    
      

  

  d)         Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), 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,
    merger 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(d) 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 the Company (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 the Successor Entity 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

    
      

  

  e)         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.

  

     

  f)          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 deliver to the
    Holder by email 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, (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 (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a
    whole) 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 delivered by email to the Holder at its last email or other 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 deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall
    not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant 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.

   

  

  
    10

    
      

  

  Section 4.          Transfer of Warrant.

  

     

  a)         Transferability.  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 on which the Holder delivers a duly executed Assignment Form to the Company assigning this Warrant in 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.

   

  

  
    11

    
      

  

  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 Exercise 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.

  

     

  Section 5.          Miscellaneous.

  

     

  a)         No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash.  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.  Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or
    to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

  

     

  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 Trading Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day.

   

  

  
    12

    
      

  

  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).

  

     

  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 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.

   

  

  
    13

    
      

  

  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.  Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, 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.

  

     

  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.

   

  

  
    14

    
      

  

  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.
