 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, American Apparel, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with
its successors and assigns, the “Issuer”), hereby certifies that SOF Investments, L.P. — Private IV or its registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), up to one
million (1,000,000) shares (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect,
subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 7 hereof. 

1. Term. The term of this Warrant shall commence on the Original Issue Date and shall expire at 6:00 p.m., eastern time, on December 19,
2013 (such period being the “Term”). 
 2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and
Exchange. 
 (a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole at any time or in part
during the Term. 
 (b) Method of Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this
Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise
multiplied by the 

 number of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable at such
Holder’s election (i) by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer, (ii) by “cashless exercise” in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this
Section 2, or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this Warrant. 
 (c) Cashless
Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise is greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of
exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Issuer together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula: 
  

					
		
		 	X = Y - (A)(Y)
		 		 	          B
			
	 Where
	 	X =	 	the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.
			
		 	Y =	 	the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being
exercised.
			
		 	A =	 	the Warrant Price.
			
		 	B =	 	the Per Share Market Value on the date of exercise of one share of Common Stock.

 (d) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of this Warrant in
accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three
(3) Trading Days after such exercise (the “Delivery Date”) or, at the request of the Holder (provided that the Warrant Stock is then freely tradeable under Rule 144 under the Securities Act) issued and delivered to the
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account of the Holder or its designee on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) within a reasonable time, not exceeding three
(3) Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer
or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if the Issuer and its transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system. The Holder shall deliver this original
Warrant, or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction, at such time that this Warrant is fully exercised. With respect to partial exercises of this Warrant, the Issuer shall keep
written records of the number of shares of Warrant Stock exercised as of each date of exercise. 

 (e) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to Section 2(g) hereof, this Warrant may be
transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, without the consent of the Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such
transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants to purchase the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as
the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical to this Warrant except as to the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable
pursuant thereto. 
 (f) Continuing Rights of Holder. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after each exercise of this
Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the
terms of this Warrant, provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such rights to such Holder. 
 (g) Compliance with Securities Laws. 
 (i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and
not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration
statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. 
 (ii)
Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form: 
 THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED. 

 (iii) The Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the
Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer. Such proposed transfer will
not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not required in connection with
such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act and the
Holder has represented that the Warrant Stock has been or will be sold, (iii) the Issuer has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities
laws are not required, or (iv) the Holder provides the Issuer with reasonable assurances acceptable to the Issuer that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Issuer has received
an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, or
(ii) compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Issuer will respond to any such notice from a Holder within three (3) Trading Days. In
the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 2(g), the Issuer will use reasonable efforts, at the Holder’s expense, to comply with any such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be
required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply
with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Issuer. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 2(g) shall be in addition to, and not by way of
limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant. Whenever a certificate representing the Warrant Stock is required to be issued to the Holder without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical
certificates representing the Warrant Stock, the Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Stock to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC
through its DWAC system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Warrant). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a
holder’s behalf via DWAC if such exercise is in connection with a sale and the Issuer and its transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system. 
 (g) Accredited Investor Status. In no event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in whole or in part unless the Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.

 (h) No Rights as Stockholder. A Warrant does not entitle the Holder thereof to any of the rights
of a stockholder of the Issuer, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of
stockholders or the election of directors of the Issuer or any other matter. 
 3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares;
Covenants. 
 (a) Stock Fully Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which
may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges
created by or through the Issuer, other than income taxes attributable to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be
exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock necessary to provide
for the exercise of this Warrant, as such necessary number of shares of Common Stock may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 4 hereof. 
 (b) Reservation. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any governmental
authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall
list any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or
as otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Stock has been registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act then in effect), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all
unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other
securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Issuer. 
 (c) Covenants. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Articles of Incorporation or the by-laws of the
Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other 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 hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein) or
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the Articles of
Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may be 

 
reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens,
claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction
thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant. 
 (d) Loss, Theft, Destruction
of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security
satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and
representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock. 
 4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares
Issuable Upon Exercise. The Warrant Price and the Warrant Share Number shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an
adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 5. 
 (a) Recapitalization,
Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a “Triggering Event”): (a) consolidate or merge with or into any other
Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person
but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its
properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and as a condition to each such Triggering Event, proper and adequate provision shall be made so that, upon the
basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to
such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the
Securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto (including the right of a
shareholder to elect the type of consideration it will receive upon a Triggering Event), subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 4.

 (b) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the Issuer shall: 
 (i) make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable
in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock, 

 (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of
Common Stock, or 
 (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,

 then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be
adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive
after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. 
 (c) Certain Other Distributions. If at any time the Issuer shall make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other
distribution of: 
 (i) cash (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the
payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Issuer), 
 (ii) any evidences of its
indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common Stock), or 
 (iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any
other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common Stock), 
 then (1) the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction
(A) the numerator of which shall be the Per Share Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock
of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so
distributable, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the
adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of 

 
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par
value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such
other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4(c) and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be
deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4(b). 
 (d) Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. 
 (i) In the event the Issuer shall at any time following the Original
Issue Date issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 4), at a price per share less than the Warrant Price then in effect or without
consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction: 
 (A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the
issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so
issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, and 
 (B) the denominator of which
shall be equal to the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock. 
 (ii) No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant shall be exercisable shall be made under paragraph (i) of Section 4(d) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are issued
pursuant to the exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefor) pursuant to
Section 4(e). 
 (e) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If at any time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any Common Stock Equivalents, whether
or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time
of such issue or sale, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall be less than the
Warrant Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then 

 
the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4(d). No further adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents. 
 (f) Superseding Adjustment. If, at any time after any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and
the Warrant Price then in effect shall have been made pursuant to Section 4(e) as the result of any issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, and (i) such Common Stock Equivalents, or the right of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock
Equivalents, shall expire, and all or a portion of such or the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all or a portion of such Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be, shall not have been exercised, or (ii) the consideration per
share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalents shall be increased, then such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the Additional Shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been
issued by virtue of the computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation. Upon the occurrence of an event set forth in this Section 4(f),
there shall be a recomputation made of the effect of such Common Stock Equivalents on the basis of: (i) treating the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock theretofore actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of Common
Stock Equivalents or any such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date or dates of any such exercise and for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and (ii) treating any such Common Stock
Equivalents which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase of the consideration per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock are issuable under such Common Stock Equivalents;
whereupon a new adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made, which new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.

 (g) Other Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of
adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section 4: 
 (i) Computation of Consideration. To the extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefor) shall be issued for cash consideration, the
consideration received by the Issuer therefor shall be the amount of the cash received by the Issuer therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription
price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price (in any such case subtracting any amounts
paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without taking into account any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance
thereof). In connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer shall be changed to or
exchanged for the stock 

 
or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefore shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in
good faith by the Board, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as the Board may determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be. The consideration for
any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such warrants or other rights plus the additional
consideration payable to the Issuer upon exercise of such warrants or other rights. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the consideration received by the
Issuer for issuing warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the consideration paid or payable to the Issuer in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the
additional consideration, if any, payable to the Issuer upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock Equivalents. In the event of any consolidation or merger of the Issuer in which the Issuer is not the surviving
corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Issuer for stock or other securities of any corporation, the Issuer shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other corporation computed on the basis of the
actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other corporation. In the event any
consideration received by the Issuer for any securities consists of property other than cash, the fair market value thereof at the time of issuance or as otherwise applicable shall be as determined in good faith by the Board. In the event Common
Stock is issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Issuer for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section 4(g)(i) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined
in good faith by the Board. 
 (ii) Timing of Adjustments. The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made whenever and
as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a
subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than
one percent (1%) of the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is
postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any
adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence. 
 (iii) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional
interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share. 

 (iv) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend,
distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled. 
 (h) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number
and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant. 
 (i) Escrow of Warrant Stock. If after any property becomes
distributable pursuant to this Section 4 by reason of the taking of any record of the holders of Common Stock, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, and the Holder exercises this Warrant, any shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise by reason of such adjustment shall be deemed the last shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercised (notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein) and such shares or other property shall be
held in escrow for the Holder by the Issuer to be issued to the Holder upon and to the extent that the event actually takes place, upon payment of the current Warrant Price. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, if the event
for which such record was taken fails to occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be cancelled by the Issuer and escrowed property returned. 
 5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, each an “adjustment”), the
Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including
a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this
Warrant promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant or the Issuer be submitted to a national
or regional accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Holder. The firm selected as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty
(30) days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. The costs and expenses of the accounting firm shall be paid equally by the Issuer and the Holder. 
 6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional
shares, the Issuer shall round the number of shares to be issued upon exercise up or down to the nearest whole number of shares. 

 7. Definitions. For the purposes of this Warrant, the following terms have the following meanings:

 “Additional Shares of Common Stock” means all shares of Common Stock issued by the Issuer after the
Original Issue Date, and all shares of Other Common, if any, issued by the Issuer after the Original Issue Date, except: (i) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation,

that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Amendment shall affect any right that any Credit
Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Amendment against a Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
