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 facsimile copy (or .pdf copy via e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (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 Warrant 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.

 

    	3

    	 

    

 

b)
Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.9375, subject to adjustment
hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

 

c)
Cashless Exercise. If at any time after the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, there is no effective registration
statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder,
then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which
the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A),
where:

 

	 	(A)
    =	 as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately
preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant
to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on
a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated
under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common 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;

 

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

 

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

 

    	4

    	 

    

 

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 characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period
of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. 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) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the
    Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), 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 earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the
    number of days comprising the Standard Settlement Period, in each case after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of
    Exercise (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 by the Warrant Share Delivery Date. 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 the 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. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means
    the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with
    respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

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.

 

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.

 

    	6

    	 

    

 

v.
No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise
of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the
Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction
multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

vi.
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer
tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of 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 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.

 

    	7

    	 

    

 

e)
Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not
have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect
to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s
Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (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
(including any determination as to group status pursuant to the next sentence). 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 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% 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, 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).

 

    	9

    	 

    

 

c)
Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend
(other than cash) 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 stock or other securities, property
or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction)
(a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall
be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder
had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations
on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a
record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common
Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the
Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation,
then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any
shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in
abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

d)
Adjustments Upon Merger Event. In connection with a Merger Event, this Warrant shall, on and after the closing thereof,
automatically and without further action on the part of any Person, represent the right to receive the consideration payable on
or in respect of all shares of Common Stock that are issuable hereunder as of immediately prior to the closing of such Merger
Event, less the Exercise Price for all such shares of Common Stock (such consideration to include both the consideration payable
at the closing of such Merger Event and all deferred consideration payable thereafter, if any, including, but not limited to,
payments of amounts deposited at such closing into escrow and payments in the nature of earn-outs, milestone payments or other
performance-based payments), and such Merger Event consideration shall be paid to the Holder as and when it is paid to the holders
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The provisions of this Section 3(d) shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.

 

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 pursuant to Section 5(h) 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.

 

	 	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 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
    pursuant to Section 5(h) to the Holder at its last facsimile number, email address or other contact information as shall appear
    upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter
    specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution,
    redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of
    record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date
    on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or

Section
4. Transfer of Warrant.

 

a)
Transferability. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), neither this Warrant nor any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative,
put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period
of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of the offering pursuant to which this Warrant
is being issued, except the transfer of any security:

 

i.
by operation of law or by reason of reorganization of the Company;

 

ii.
to any FINRA member firm participating in the offering and the officers or partners thereof, if all securities so transferred
remain subject to the lock-up restriction in this Section 4(a) for the remainder of the time period;

 

iii.
if the aggregate amount of securities of the Company held by the underwriter or related persons do not exceed 1% of the securities
being offered;

 

iv.
that is beneficially owned on a pro-rata basis by all equity owners of an investment fund, provided that no participating member
manages or otherwise directs investments by the fund, and participating members in the aggregate do not own more than 10% of the
equity in the fund; or

 

v.
the exercise or conversion of any security, if all securities received remain subject to the lock-up restriction in this Section
4(a) for the remainder of the time period.

 

Subject
to the foregoing restriction, and compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(a)
hereof, 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 an 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.

 

    	12

    	 

    

 

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 Issue Date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant
thereto.

 

c)
Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose
(the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and
treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution
to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

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

 

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

 

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 the rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless
exercise,” and to receive the cash payments contemplated pursuant to Sections 2(d)(i) and 2(d)(iv), in no event will the
Company be required to net cash settle a Warrant exercise.

 

    	13

    	 

    

 

b)
Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant
Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case
of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate,
if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation,
in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

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

 

d)
Authorized Shares.

 

The
Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common
Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights
under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers
who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.
The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided
herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common
Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant
Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens
and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously
with such issue).

 

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.

 

    	14

    	 

    

 

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 governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement
and defense of this Warrant shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan
(the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby
or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that
it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient
venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served
in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with
evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. If either party shall commence an action, suit or
proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed
by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation
and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

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, 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.

 

    	15

    	 

    

 

h)
Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without
limitation, any Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or e-mail, or sent by a nationally
recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at the address set forth above Attention: Chief Executive Officer,
facsimile number [_____], email address [____], or such other facsimile number, email address or address as the Company may specify
for such purposes by notice to the Holders. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company
hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or email, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier
service addressed to each Holder at the facsimile number, email address or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the
Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i)
the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email at the facsimile number or email
address set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the time
of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email at the facsimile number or email address
set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day,
(iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or
(iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

 

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)

and the Holder.

 

    	16

    	 

    

 

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.

However, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay a Pro-Rated Award if a Participant's employment terminates prior to such date other than for Cause and other than by the Participant's resignation (including by reason of death or Disability).  Such Pro-Rated Award will be paid in a cash lump sum within sixty days after the date of termination of the Participant's employment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant's employment is terminated for Cause or by the Participant's resignation, the Participant shall in all cases forfeit any Award not already paid.

8.Change in Control.  If a Change in Control occurs during a Performance Period, the Committee, in its discretion, shall act to effect one of the following alternatives with respect to outstanding Awards: (a) each Participant will receive his or her Target Award, without regard to actual performance and without proration for less than the full Performance Period; (b) each Participant will receive an amount equal to his or her Target Award multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of days that have elapsed since the beginning of the Performance Period through and including the date of the Change in Control and the denominator of which equals the number of days in the Performance Period; or (c) Awards will be calculated based on the Company's performance as of the date of the Change in Control. Awards paid in connection with a Change in Control will be paid in a cash lump sum as soon as practicable following the Change in Control, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Participant must be actively employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the date of a Change in Control to receive payment of an Award in connection with a Change in Control.

 

 

9.General Provisions. 

9.1Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Plan and the granting of Awards shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. 

9.2Non-transferability. A person's rights and interests under the Plan, including any Award previously made to such person or any amounts payable under the Plan may not be assigned, pledged, or transferred, except in the event of the Participant's death, to a designated beneficiary in accordance with the Plan, or in the absence of such designation, by will or the laws of descent or distribution. 

9.3No Right to Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in any notice of Award shall confer upon any person the right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Affiliate or affect the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the employment of any Participant. 

9.4No Right to Award. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in an employment agreement signed by the Company and a Participant, a Participant shall not have any right to any Award under the Plan until such Award has been paid to such Participant and participation in the Plan in one Performance Period does not connote any right to become a Participant in the Plan in any future Performance Period. 

9.5Withholding. The Company shall have the right to withhold from any Award any federal, state or local income and/or payroll taxes required by law to be withheld and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to an Award. 

9.6Amendment or Termination of the Plan. The Board or the Committee may, at any time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant to Awards allocated prior to such amendment, suspension or termination without such Participant's consent. 

9.7Unfunded Status. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary or legal representative or any other person. To the extent that a person acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in the Plan. The Plan is not intended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. 

9.8Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced in accordance with the laws of Texas without regard to conflicts of law. 

 

 

9.9Beneficiaries. To the extent that the Committee permits beneficiary designations, any payment of Awards due under the Plan to a deceased Participant shall be paid to the beneficiary duly designated by the Participant in accordance with the Company's practices. If no such beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made by will or the laws of descent or distribution. 

9.10Code Section 409A. It is intended that payments under the Plan qualify as short-term deferrals exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. In the event that any Award does not qualify for treatment as an exempt short-term deferral, it is intended that such amount will be paid in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Code Section 409A. The Plan shall be interpreted and construed accordingly. 

9.11Expenses. All costs and expenses in connection with the administration of the Plan shall be paid by the Company. 

9.12Section Headings. The headings of the Plan have been inserted for convenience of reference only and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such headings, shall control. 

9.13Severability. In the event that any provision of the Plan shall be considered illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, but shall be fully severable, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been contained therein.  

9.14Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, wherever used, the masculine pronoun includes the feminine pronoun; the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural. 

9.15Non-Exclusive. Nothing in the Plan shall limit the authority of the Company, the Board or the Committee to adopt such other compensation arrangements, as it may deem desirable for any Participant. 

9.16Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding upon any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. 

9.17Clawback. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, the Company may cancel any Award, require reimbursement of any Award by a Participant, and effect any other right of recoupment of compensation provided under the Plan in accordance with any Company policies that may be adopted and/or modified from time to time ("Clawback Policy"). In addition, a Participant may be required to repay to the Company previously paid compensation, whether provided pursuant to the Plan, in accordance with the Clawback Policy. By accepting an Award, the Participant is agreeing to be bound by the Clawback Policy, as in effect or as may be adopted and/or modified from time to time by the Company in its discretion (including, without limitation, to comply with applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements).

 

 

The action permitted to be taken by the Board under this Section 9.17 is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all other rights of the Board and/or the Company under applicable law and shall apply notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan.
