of the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder.

Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company, at the Company’s principal offices at the address set forth in Section 17.2(b) or at such other office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to
Section 13; the following: (i) a written notice of Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant specifying the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be purchased, (ii) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for
the Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for which the Warrant is being exercised; and (iii) this Warrant or the evidence and indemnity required by Section 12. Such notice shall be substantially in the form of the Subscription Form

cause to be executed and deliver or cause to be delivered to Holder a certificate reflecting Holder’s ownership of the aggregate number Shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction

 - 5 -

 
reflect ownership of such Shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the name of Holder or such other name as shall be designated in the notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and
such Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for all
purposes, as of the date the notice, together with payment of the aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant, is received by the Company as described above and all taxes required to be paid by Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2.2 prior
to the issuance of such Shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been paid. If this Warrant has been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate representing the Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or, at the request of Holder, appropriate
notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to Holder. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made at the option of Holder by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds. 

(c) Cashless Exercise. 
 (i) In lieu of the payment of the Exercise Price, Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation), to require the Company to convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into Shares of Series A
Preferred Stock as provided for in this Section 2.1(c) (the “Conversion Right”). Upon exercise of the Conversion Right, the Company shall deliver to Holder (without payment by Holder of any of the Exercise Price)
that number of Warrant Shares (the “Conversion Shares”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the value of this Warrant (or portion thereof as to which the Conversion Right is being exercised if the Conversion
Right is being exercised in part) at the time the Conversion Right is exercised (determined by subtracting the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares as to which the Conversion Right is being exercised in effect immediately prior to the
exercise of the Conversion Right from the aggregate Current Market Price of the Warrant Shares as to which the Conversion Right is being exercised immediately prior to the exercise of the Conversion Right) by (y) the Current Market Price of one
(1) Share of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to the exercise of the Conversion Right. 
 (ii) The
Conversion Rights provided under this Section 2.1(c) may be exercised in whole or in part and at any time and from time to time while this Warrant remains outstanding. In order to exercise the Conversion Right, Holder shall surrender to
the Company, at the Company’s offices, this Warrant (or the evidence and indemnity required by Section 12) and the Notice of Conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C duly executed. The presentation and
surrender shall be deemed a waiver of Holder’s obligation to pay all or any portion of the aggregate purchase price payable for the Warrant Shares as to which such Conversion Right is being exercised. This Warrant (or so much thereof as shall
have been surrendered for conversion) shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day of surrender of such Warrant for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions. If this Warrant has been
exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the acknowledgement reflecting the ownership of the Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Shares of Series A
Preferred Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or, at the request of Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to Holder.

 (d) Conversion Upon Qualified Initial Public Offering. Upon the consummation of a
Qualified Initial Public Offering of the Company, the Holder shall be deemed to have exercised this Warrant in full, without payment of the Exercise Price therefor, for a number of Shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the number of Shares of
Common Stock into which the Shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been converted upon consummation of the Qualified Initial Public Offering if such Shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been
outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Qualified Initial Public Offering minus (ii) a number of Shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (A) the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares of Series A Preferred Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of the Qualified Initial Public Offering by (B) the public offering price per Share of Common Stock in the Qualified Initial Public Offering. As promptly as
practicable after the consummation of the Qualified Initial Public Offering, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall execute or cause to be executed and deliver or cause to be delivered to Holder a
certificate reflecting Holder’s ownership of the aggregate number Shares of Common Stock issuable upon such deemed exercise of this Warrant, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a Share of Common Stock, as hereinafter provided in
Section 2.3. The Company shall update its records to reflect ownership of such Shares of Common Stock in the name of Holder. Such Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder shall be deemed to have become a
holder of record of such Shares of Common Stock for all purposes, as of the date of the consummation of the Qualified Initial Public Offering. 
 2.2. Payment of Taxes. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all transfer, stamp or similar Taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the
issuance or delivery thereof, unless such Tax or charge is imposed by law upon Holder, in which case, Holder shall pay such Taxes or charges. The Company shall not be required to pay any Tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer
upon exercise of this Warrant resulting in any Warrant Shares being registered in any name other than that of Holder, and in such case, the Company shall not be required to register such Warrant Shares in any name other than Holder until such Tax or
other charge has been paid or it has been established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that no such Tax or other charge is due. 
 2.3. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional Share of Series A Preferred Stock of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a Share
which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Current Market Price per Share of Series A Preferred Stock
or Common Stock on the date of exercise, which Current Market Price per Share, in the case of the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 2.1(d), shall be the public offering price per Share of Common Stock in the Qualified Initial
Public Offering.

 4. ADJUSTMENTS. The number of Series A Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and the Exercise Price, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this
Section 4. The Company shall give each Holder notice of any event described below, which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 promptly after the occurrence of such event. 

4.1. Distributions, Subdivisions and Combinations. If, at any time, the Company: 

(a) takes a record of holders of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution payable
in, or other distribution of, Shares of Series A Preferred Stock; 
 (b) subdivides its outstanding Shares of Series A Preferred
Stock into a larger number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock; or 

  
 - 8 -

 (c) combines its outstanding Shares of Series A Preferred Stock into a smaller number of
Shares of Series A Preferred Stock; 
 then (i) the number of Shares of Series A Preferred 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 Series A Preferred Stock that a record holder of the same number of Series A Preferred 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 (ii) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Series A Preferred Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of Series A Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. 

4.2. Certain Other Distributions. If at any time the Company takes a record of holders of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for
the purpose of entitling them to receive any distribution of: 
 (a) any evidences of its indebtedness, any assets or property,
or any other securities of any nature whatsoever (other than Additional Shares), 
 (b) any Options to subscribe for or purchase
any evidences of its indebtedness, any assets or property, or any other securities of any nature whatsoever (other than Additional Shares), or 
 (c) any Convertible Securities, warrants or other rights to subscribe for Series A Preferred Stock, 
 then (i) the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per Share at the date of taking such record and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Current
Market Price per Share of Series A Preferred Stock plus the amount of consideration, if any, paid by the holder of one Share of Series A Preferred Stock for such indebtedness, assets, Shares, other securities or property or warrants or other
subscription or purchase rights so distributable, minus the amount allocable to one Share of Series A Preferred Stock of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board and supported by an opinion from an Independent Financial Expert) of
any and all such evidences of indebtedness, assets, Shares, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable; provided that in the event that the denominator is calculated to be less than 0.01, the
denominator shall be deemed to be 0.01 for purposes of this Section 4.2, and (ii) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of Shares of Series A
Preferred Stock into Shares of any other class of equity shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to holders of its Shares of such Shares or Shares of such other class of equity within the meaning of this Section 4.2 and, if the
outstanding Shares shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of Shares as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding Shares within the meaning of
Section 4.1.

as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur. 
 (b) Timing of Issuance of Additional Shares Upon
Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 4 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company, upon exercise of this Warrant after such
record date and before the occurrence of such event, may defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to Holder the Shares of Series A Preferred Stock or other property issuable or deliverable upon exercise by reason of the adjustment required
by such event over and above the Shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable or deliverable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall, upon request of Holder, deliver to Holder an
appropriate instrument evidencing Holder’s right to receive such Shares or other property upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment. 
 (c) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Shares shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/10th of a Share.

of entitling them to receive a distribution of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock or other property for which an adjustment is required under this Section 4 and, thereafter and before the distribution to holders thereof, legally abandons
its plan to pay or deliver such distribution, 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. 

(e) Challenge to Good Faith Determination. Whenever the Board is required to make a determination in good faith of the fair market
value of any item under this Section 4, Holder may challenge such determination in good faith, and an Independent Financial Expert shall resolve any such dispute. 
 (f) No Adjustment of Exercise Price Below Par Value. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Exercise Price shall not be adjusted to an amount less than the per share par value of the
Series A Preferred Stock. 
 4.4. Reclassification or Merger. In case of any reclassification or change of the Series A
Preferred Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
entity (other than a merger or consolidation with another entity in which the Company is the surviving entity and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the Series A Preferred Stock), or in case of any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company, or such successor or purchasing 

  
 - 10 -

 
corporation, as the case may be, shall duly execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder), or the Company shall make appropriate provision
without the issuance of a new Warrant, so that the Holder shall have the right to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, at a total Exercise Price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, and in lieu
of the Shares of Series A Preferred Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation or sale
by a holder of the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock then purchasable under this Warrant, or if no Shares of Series A Preferred Stock are then outstanding, by a holder of the number of Shares of Common Stock into which the number Shares
of Series A Preferred Stock then purchasable under this Warrant would then be convertible. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers, consolidations and sales.

Series A Preferred Stock are set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, it being understood and agreed that, in addition to any other adjustment required hereunder, the Holder of this Warrant is entitled to all antidilution adjustment with

 6. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company shall not, and will not permit or cause any of its subsidiaries to, by any
action, including, without limitation, through any amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, the Stockholders Agreement, through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities
or any other voluntary action, directly or indirectly avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant or impair or diminish the value of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in carrying
out all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or
appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue Series A Preferred Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (b) use its 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. 
 7.
RESERVATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF SHARES. From and after the Closing Date, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of Warrants such number of its authorized but unissued Shares of Series A
Preferred Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants. All Shares of Series A Preferred Stock, when issued upon exercise of this Warrant and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Warrant,
shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights. Before taking any action that would result in an adjustment 

  
 - 12 -

 
in the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock 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. If any Shares of Series A Preferred Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of Warrants require registration or
qualification with any governmental authority or other governmental approval or filing under any federal or state law before such Shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be so issued, the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible
and at its expense endeavor to cause such Shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be duly registered or qualified. The Company agrees that it will not reduce the par value of the Series A Preferred Stock 

8. TAKING OF RECORD; SHARES AND WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS. In the case of all distributions by the Company to holders of Shares of Series A Preferred
Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4 refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each such case take such a record as of the close of business on a Business Day. The Company will not at any
time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, close its transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant. 
 9. TAX MATTERS. 
 9.1. Tax Status. The Company will maintain its
status as an entity classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes. 
 9.2. Treatment of Warrant. The
Company and the Holder intend to treat the Warrants as Shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrant for Shares of Series A Preferred Stock as a nonevent for U.S. federal and applicable state and local Tax purposes. 

9.3. Withholding. If the Company determines that U.S. federal withholding of Tax with respect to the Warrants or the Warrant
Shares held by any Holder is necessary, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify such Holder reasonably in advance of such withholding, and provide such Holder with a reasonable opportunity to establish an exemption or other
basis for reducing or eliminating such U.S. federal withholding Tax. The Company shall cooperate with each Holder, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide each Holder with information that any such Holder may request, in connection
with such Holder’s Tax reporting and U.S. federal withholding Tax obligations relating to the Warrants and the Warrant Shares, including, with respect to each distribution payable on the Warrant Shares (whether in cash or in kind) or deemed
distributed on the Warrant or Warrant Shares, providing such Holder with a contemporaneous reasonable estimate as to the amount of any such dividend that is expected to be treated as a dividend pursuant to section 301(c)(1) of the Code. 

10. RESTRICTIONS; RESTRICTIVE LEGEND. Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant will have
restrictions upon resale as imposed by federal and state securities laws and the terms and conditions of this Warrant. Each Share certificate, if any, representing Warrant Shares shall bear the following legends: 

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE
OFFERED OR SOLD, UNLESS IT HAS BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE (AND, IN SUCH CASE, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL 

  
 - 13 -

 
REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY MAY BE REQUIRED BY THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH OFFER OR SALE IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT). THIS SECURITY MAY BE
SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF APRIL [•], 2013 (AS MAY BE AMENDED OR RESTATED FROM TIME TO TIME), A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY
AT ITS PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES. 
 11. SUPPLYING INFORMATION. The Company shall cooperate with each Holder of a Warrant and each
holder of Warrant Shares in supplying such information as may be reasonably necessary for such holder to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the availability of an
exemption from the Securities Act for the sale or transfer of any Warrant or Warrant Shares. 
 12. LOSS OR MUTILATION. Upon receipt by
the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant (which evidence shall be, in the case of an institutional investor, notice from such institutional investor of
such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and 
 (a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the Holder of such Warrant has a minimum net worth of at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000), such Holder’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be
satisfactory), or 
 (b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, 

the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant, dated the date of the original Warrant. 

13. OFFICE OF THE COMPANY. As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be the
principal executive offices of the Company) where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant. 
 14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; NO RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by Holder to purchase Shares, and no enumeration of the rights or privileges of
Holder contained herein, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Shares or as a holder of Shares of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of Company. Except as provided for in
Certificate of Incorporation and the Stockholders Agreement, this Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.

available with respect thereto; (iii) it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act and the restrictions on resale thereunder; and (iv) there is no trading market for this Warrant or the Warrant Shares and there is no expectation

 (e) The issuance of the Warrant does not, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon
exercise of the Warrant will not, conflict with (i) the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, (ii) the Bylaws, (iii) the Stockholders Agreement (iv) any other agreement between the Company and its shareholders or
(iv) any applicable laws. The issuance of the Warrant is not, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant will not be, subject to any preemptive rights under (i) the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation,

Warrant are exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf has offered or will offer this Warrant or the Warrant Shares or any part thereof or any similar securities for issue or sale to, or has solicited or will solicit any offer to acquire any of the

 - 5 -

 
exercised; and (iii) this Warrant or the evidence and indemnity required by Section 12. Such notice shall be substantially in the form of the Subscription Form attached to this
Warrant as Exhibit A, duly executed by Holder or its agent or attorney. Upon receipt thereof, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, execute or cause to be executed
and deliver or cause to be delivered to Holder a certificate reflecting Holder’s ownership of the aggregate number Shares of Series B Preferred Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a Share of Series B
Preferred Stock, as hereinafter provided in Section 2.3. The Company shall update its records to reflect ownership of such Shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the name of Holder or such other name as shall be designated in the notice.
This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such Shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record
of such Shares of Series B Preferred Stock for all purposes, as of the date the notice, together with payment of the aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant, is received by the Company as described above and all taxes required to be paid by
Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2.2 prior to the issuance of such Shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been paid. If this Warrant has been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate
representing the Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Shares of Series B Preferred Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical
with this Warrant, or, at the request of Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to Holder. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made at the option of Holder by certified or official bank check or by wire
transfer of immediately available funds. 
 (c) Cashless Exercise. 

(i) In lieu of the payment of the Exercise Price, Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation), to require the
Company to convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into Shares of Series B Preferred Stock as provided for in this Section 2.1(c) (the “Conversion Right”). Upon exercise of the Conversion Right, the Company
shall deliver to Holder (without payment by Holder of any of the Exercise Price) that number of Warrant Shares (the “Conversion Shares”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the value of this Warrant (or
portion thereof as to which the Conversion Right is being exercised if the Conversion Right is being exercised in part) at the time the Conversion Right is exercised (determined by subtracting the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares as to
which the Conversion Right is being exercised in effect immediately prior to the exercise of the Conversion Right from the aggregate Current Market Price of the Warrant Shares as to which the Conversion Right is being exercised immediately prior to
the exercise of the Conversion Right) by (y) the Current Market Price of one (1) Share of Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to the exercise of the Conversion Right. 

(ii) The Conversion Rights provided under this Section 2.1(c) may be exercised in whole or in part and at any
time and from time to time while this Warrant remains outstanding. In order to exercise the Conversion Right, Holder shall surrender to the Company, at the Company’s offices, this Warrant (or the evidence and indemnity required by
Section 12) and the Notice of Conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C duly executed. The presentation and surrender shall be deemed a waiver of Holder’s obligation to pay all or any portion of the aggregate
purchase price payable for 

  
 - 6 -

 
the Warrant Shares as to which such Conversion Right is being exercised. This Warrant (or so much thereof as shall have been surrendered for conversion) shall be deemed to have been converted
immediately prior to the close of business on the day of surrender of such Warrant for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions. If this Warrant has been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the
acknowledgement reflecting the ownership of the Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Shares of Series B Preferred Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all
other respects be identical with this Warrant, or, at the request of Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to Holder. 
 (d) Conversion Upon Qualified Initial Public Offering. Upon the consummation of a Qualified Initial Public Offering of the Company, the Holder shall be deemed to have exercised this Warrant in
full, without payment of the Exercise Price therefor, for a number of Shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the number of Shares of Common Stock into which the Shares of Series B Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant would have
been converted upon consummation of the Qualified Initial Public Offering if such Shares of Series B Preferred Stock had been outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Qualified Initial Public Offering minus (ii) a number of
Shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (A) the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares of Series B Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of the Qualified Initial Public Offering by
(B) the public offering price per Share of Common Stock in the Qualified Initial Public Offering. As promptly as practicable after the consummation of the Qualified Initial Public Offering, and in any event within three (3) Business Days
thereafter, the Company shall execute or cause to be executed and deliver or cause to be delivered to Holder a certificate reflecting Holder’s ownership of the aggregate number Shares of Common Stock issuable upon such deemed exercise of this
Warrant, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a Share of Common Stock, as hereinafter provided in Section 2.3. The Company shall update its records to reflect ownership of such Shares of Common Stock in the name of Holder. Such
Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Shares of Common Stock for all purposes, as of the date of the consummation of the Qualified Initial Public Offering.

 2.2. Payment of Taxes. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all transfer, stamp or similar Taxes
and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery thereof, unless such Tax or charge is imposed by law upon Holder, in which case, Holder shall pay such Taxes or charges. The Company shall not be required
to pay any Tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer upon exercise of this Warrant resulting in any Warrant Shares being registered in any name other than that of Holder, and in such case, the Company shall not be required to
register such Warrant Shares in any name other than Holder until such Tax or other charge has been paid or it has been established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that no such Tax or other charge is due. 

2.3. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional Share of Series B Preferred Stock of Common Stock
upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a Share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the

  
 - 7 -

 
same fraction of the Current Market Price per Share of Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock on the date of exercise, which Current Market Price per Share, in the case of the exercise of this
Warrant pursuant to Section 2.1(d), shall be the public offering price per Share of Common Stock in the Qualified Initial Public Offering. 
 2.4. Exchange Upon Transfer. If the Holder Transfers all or any portion of this Warrant to any Highbridge Non-Affiliate in compliance with Section 3.1 of this Warrant, such Highbridge
Non-Affiliate shall have the right to exchange this Warrant, in whole or in part, for a Series A Warrant exercisable for a number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the number of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock for which this Warrant,
or part thereof, being exchanged by such Highbridge Non-Affiliate is then exercisable. Such Highbridge Non-Affiliate may exercise this exchange right, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company, at the Company’s principal offices at the
address set forth in Section 17.2(b) or at such other office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 13; the following: (i) a written notice of such Highbridge Non-Affiliate’s election to exchange this Warrant
specifying the number of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock with respect to which this Warrant is to be exchanged, and (ii) this Warrant or the evidence and indemnity required by Section 12. Such notice shall be substantially in the form
of the Notice of Exchange attached to this Warrant as Exhibit D, duly executed by such Highbridge Non-Affiliate or its agent or attorney. Upon receipt thereof, the Company shall execute and deliver a Series A Warrant in the name of the
Highbridge Non-Affiliate and in the denomination specified for exchange in such notice, and shall issue to the Highbridge Non-Affiliate a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so exchanged, and this Warrant shall promptly be
cancelled. 
 3. TRANSFER, DIVISION AND COMBINATION 
 3.1. Transfer. 
 (a) Transfer Generally. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, including paragraph (b) of this Section 3.1 and Section 16, and compliance with all applicable securities laws, Transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be

Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination 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. A Warrant, if properly assigned in compliance with any restrictions on Transfer, may be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of Series B Preferred Stock without having a new Warrant issued. 

(b) Restrictions on Transfer. This Warrant may be Transferred to any Person; provided, however, that no Transfer of this Warrant or
any rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be made to any Competitor without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be granted or withheld in the reasonable discretion of the Company.

accordance with such notice. 
 3.3. Expenses. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own cost and expense
(other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 3. 
 3.4. Maintenance of Books.
The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office or agency, books for the registration and the registration of Transfer of the Warrants. 

4. ADJUSTMENTS. The number of Series B Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and the Exercise Price, shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Company shall give each Holder notice of any event described below, which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 promptly after the occurrence of
such event. 
 4.1. Distributions, Subdivisions and Combinations. If, at any time, the Company: 

(a) takes a record of holders of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution payable
in, or other distribution of, Shares of Series B Preferred Stock; 
 (b) subdivides its outstanding Shares of Series B Preferred
Stock into a larger number of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock; or 
 (c) combines its outstanding Shares of Series B Preferred
Stock into a smaller number of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock; 
 then (i) the number of Shares of Series B Preferred 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 Series B Preferred Stock that a record holder of the same number of Series B Preferred 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 (ii) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of
Series B Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of Series B Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. 

4.2. Certain Other Distributions. If at any time the Company takes a record of holders of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock for
the purpose of entitling them to receive any distribution of: 
 (a) any evidences of its indebtedness, any assets or property,

any evidences of its indebtedness, any assets or property, or any other securities of any nature whatsoever (other than Additional Shares), or 

  
 - 9 -

 (c) any Convertible Securities, warrants or other rights to subscribe for Series B Preferred
Stock, 
 then (i) the number of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the
product of the number of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per Share at the date of taking
such record and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price per Share of Series B Preferred Stock plus the amount of consideration, if any, paid by the holder of one Share of Series B Preferred Stock for such indebtedness,
assets, Shares, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable, minus the amount allocable to one Share of Series B Preferred Stock of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board and
supported by an opinion from an Independent Financial Expert) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, assets, Shares, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable; provided that in the
event that the denominator is calculated to be less than 0.01, the denominator shall be deemed to be 0.01 for purposes of this Section 4.2, and (ii) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price
multiplied by the number of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Shares of any other class of equity shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to holders of its Shares of such Shares or Shares of such other class
of equity within the meaning of this Section 4.2 and, if the outstanding Shares shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of Shares as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as
the case may be, of the outstanding Shares within the meaning of Section 4.1. 
 4.3. Other Provisions Applicable
to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to making adjustments to the number of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Exercise Price provided for in this
Section 4: 
 (a) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 4
shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur. 
 (b) Timing of Issuance of
Additional Shares Upon Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 4 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company, upon exercise of this
Warrant after such record date and before the occurrence of such event, may defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to Holder the Shares of Series B Preferred Stock or other property issuable or deliverable upon exercise by reason of the
adjustment required by such event over and above the Shares of Series B Preferred Stock issuable or deliverable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall, upon request of Holder, deliver to
Holder an appropriate instrument evidencing Holder’s right to receive such Shares or other property upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment. 

  
 - 10 -

 (c) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4,
fractional interests in Shares shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/10th of a Share.

Required. If the Company takes a record of holders of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock or other property for which an adjustment is required
under this Section 4 and, thereafter and before the distribution to holders thereof, legally abandons its plan to pay or deliver such distribution, 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. 
 (e) Challenge to Good Faith
Determination. Whenever the Board is required to make a determination in good faith of the fair market value of any item under this Section 4, Holder may challenge such determination in good faith, and an Independent Financial Expert
shall resolve any such dispute. 
 (f) No Adjustment of Exercise Price Below Par Value. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Exercise Price shall not be adjusted to an amount less than the per share par value of the Series B Preferred Stock. 
 4.4. Reclassification or Merger. In case of any reclassification or change of the Series B Preferred Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value
to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity (other than a merger or consolidation with another entity in which the Company is the surviving
entity and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the Series B Preferred Stock), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the
case may be, shall duly execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder), or the Company shall make appropriate provision without the issuance of a new Warrant, so that the Holder shall have the
right to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, at a total Exercise Price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, and in lieu of the Shares of Series B Preferred Stock theretofore issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation or sale by a holder of the number of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock then
purchasable under this Warrant, or if no Shares of Series B Preferred Stock are then outstanding, by a holder of the number of Shares of Common Stock into which the number Shares of Series B Preferred Stock then purchasable under this Warrant would
then be convertible. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers, consolidations and sales. 
 4.5. Antidilution Rights with Respect to Series B Preferred Stock. The antidilution rights applicable to conversion of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock are set forth in the Certificate of
Incorporation, it being understood and agreed that, in addition to any other adjustment required hereunder, the Holder of this Warrant is entitled to all antidilution adjustment with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock required pursuant to the

reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board determined the fair market value of any evidences of indebtedness, Shares or stock,
other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights referred to in Section 4.2), specifying the number of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and describing the number
and kind of any other Shares or other property for which this Warrant is exercisable, and any change in the purchase price or prices thereof, after giving effect to such adjustment or change. The Company shall promptly cause a signed copy of such

for inspection at said office during normal business hours by any Holder 
 5.2. Notice of Company Action. If at any
time: 
 (a) the Company takes a record of holders of Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of any
type, including cash, property, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any Shares of any class or series or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right; or 

(b) there is any proposed capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the Company or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company to, another Person; or 

(c) there is a proposed voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; 

then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder: (i) at least twenty (20) Business Days’ prior written notice of

such distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place

any action, including, without limitation, through any amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, the Stockholders Agreement, through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, directly or indirectly avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant or impair or diminish the value of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in
carrying out all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) take all such action as may be reasonably
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue Series B Preferred Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (b) use its 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. 

7. RESERVATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF SHARES. From and after the Closing Date, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issue
upon the exercise of Warrants such number of its authorized but unissued Shares of Series B Preferred Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants. All Shares of Series B Preferred Stock, when issued upon
exercise of this Warrant and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights. Before taking any action that would result in an
adjustment in the number of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock 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. If any Shares of Series B Preferred Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of Warrants require registration or qualification with any governmental authority or other
governmental approval or filing under any federal or state law before such Shares of Series B Preferred Stock may be so issued, the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible and at its expense endeavor to cause such Shares of
Series B Preferred Stock to be duly registered or qualified. The Company agrees that it will not reduce the par value of the Series B Preferred Stock. 
 8. TAKING OF RECORD; SHARES AND WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS. In the case of all distributions by the Company to holders of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock with respect to which any provision of
Section 4 refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each such case take such a record as of the close of business on a Business Day. The Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company, close its transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.

 9.1. Tax Status. The Company will maintain its status as an entity classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes. 

9.2. Treatment of Warrant. The Company and the Holder intend to treat the Warrants as Shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the

all U.S. federal and applicable state and local Tax purposes. 
 9.3. Withholding. If the Company determines that U.S.
federal withholding of Tax with respect to the Warrants or the Warrant Shares held by any Holder is necessary, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify such Holder reasonably in advance of such withholding, and provide such
Holder with a reasonable opportunity to establish an exemption or other basis for reducing or eliminating such U.S. federal withholding Tax. The Company shall cooperate with each Holder, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide each
Holder with information that any such Holder may request, in connection with such Holder’s Tax reporting and U.S. federal withholding Tax obligations relating to the Warrants and the Warrant Shares, including, with respect to each distribution
payable on the Warrant Shares (whether in cash or in kind) or deemed distributed on the Warrant or Warrant Shares, providing such Holder with a contemporaneous reasonable estimate as to the amount of any such dividend that is expected to be treated
as a dividend pursuant to section 301(c)(1) of the Code. 
 10. RESTRICTIONS; RESTRICTIVE LEGEND. Holder acknowledges that the Warrant
Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant will have restrictions upon resale as imposed by federal and state securities laws and the terms and conditions of this Warrant. Each Share certificate, if any, representing Warrant Shares shall bear

 THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD, UNLESS IT HAS BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE (AND, IN SUCH CASE, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE

11. SUPPLYING INFORMATION. The Company shall cooperate with each Holder of a Warrant and each holder of Warrant Shares in supplying such
information as may be reasonably necessary for such holder to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the sale
or transfer of any Warrant or Warrant Shares.

mutilation), and 
 (a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if
the Holder of such Warrant has a minimum net worth of at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000), such Holder’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or 

(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu
thereof, a new Warrant, dated the date of the original Warrant. 
 13. OFFICE OF THE COMPANY. As long as any of the Warrants remain
outstanding, the Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be the principal executive offices of the Company) where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of transfer, division or combination as provided in this
Warrant. 
 14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; NO RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by Holder
to purchase Shares, and no enumeration of the rights or privileges of Holder contained herein, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Shares or as a holder of Shares of the Company, whether such liability is
asserted by the Company or by creditors of Company. Except as provided for in Certificate of Incorporation and the Stockholders Agreement, this Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise
hereof. 
 15. SECURITIES ACT MATTERS. 
 15.1. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Holder. Holder hereby represents and warrants to, and acknowledges to, and agrees with, the Company as of the date hereof and as of the date of
any exercise hereof that: 
 (a) it is acquiring the Warrant and, upon exercise of the Warrant, the Warrant Shares, for its own
account, without a view to the distribution thereof, except for Holder’s right to Transfer the Warrant Shares in compliance with applicable Securities Laws. 
 (b) it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act. 
 (c) (i) this Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, in reliance on the non-public offering exemption contained in Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder and, as such, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares are “restricted securities” under the Securities Act; (ii) because this Warrant and the Warrant Shares are not so registered, it must
bear the economic risk of holding this Warrant and the Warrant Shares for an indefinite period of time unless this Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is
available with respect thereto; (iii) it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act and the restrictions on resale thereunder; and (iv) there is no trading market for this Warrant or the Warrant Shares and there is no expectation
that such market will exist in the future. 

  
 - 15 -

 (d) it will not assign or transfer this Warrant or the Warrant Shares except in accordance
and in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act, as then in effect. 
 (e) (i) it has had ready access to any and
all documents which it deems relevant to the acquisition of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares; (ii) the Company has made available to it, during the course of the transaction and prior to the issuance of the Warrant Shares, the opportunity to
ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company and its officers concerning the Company, and to obtain any additional information, to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or
expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of information contained in the written materials delivered to it by the Company and concerning the Company; and (iii) it has reviewed or had the opportunity to review all such documents or information
referred to above. 
 15.2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. The Company represents and warrants
to, and agrees with, Holder as of the date hereof and as of the date of any exercise hereof that: 
 (a) The Company is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 (b) The Company has
the corporate power and authority to, (i) execute, issue, and deliver this Warrant, (ii) issue and deliver the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and (iii) perform any other obligations under this Warrant. 

(c) The Warrant has been duly authorized and validly issued and is not subject to any preemptive rights and is a valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 (d) The Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant have been duly authorized, reserved for issuing and, when and if issued upon such exercise in accordance with this Warrant, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 

(e) The issuance of the Warrant does not, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant will not, conflict with
(i) the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, (ii) the Bylaws, (iii) the Stockholders Agreement (iv) any other agreement between the Company and its shareholders or (iv) any applicable laws. The issuance of the
Warrant is not, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant will not be, subject to any preemptive rights under (i) the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, (ii) the Bylaws, (iii) the Stockholders
Agreement, (iv) any other agreement between the Company and its shareholders or (v) any applicable laws. 
 (f)
Assuming the truth and accuracy of Holder’s representations and warranties contained in Section 15.1, the issuance of this Warrant and the issuance of Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant are exempt from the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. 
 (g) The Company agrees that neither it nor any Person acting on its
behalf has offered or will offer this Warrant or the Warrant Shares or any part thereof or any similar securities for issue or sale to, or has solicited or will solicit any offer to acquire any of the same from, any Person so as to bring the
issuance and sale of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares hereunder within the provisions of the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
 17.5. Amendment.
