If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time (a) declare, order, pay or make a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (b) split, subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or (c) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such split, subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Warrantholder immediately after such record date or effective date, as the case may be, shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant after such date had this Warrant been exercised in full immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be (disregarding whether or not this Warrant had been exercisable by its terms at such time). In the event of such adjustment, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such split, subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be immediately adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in full before the adjustment determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (disregarding whether or not this Warrant was exercisable by its terms at such time) and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to such adjustment by (y) the new number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant in full determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (disregarding whether or not this Warrant is exercisable by its terms at such time).
-12-
(ii) Certain Issuances of Common Shares or Convertible Securities. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time issue shares of Common Stock (or rights or warrants or any other securities or rights exercisable or convertible into or exchangeable (collectively, a conversion) for shares of Common Stock (collectively, convertible securities)) (other than in Permitted Transactions or a transaction to which the adjustments set forth in subsection (i) of this Section 12 are applicable), without consideration or at a consideration per share (or having a conversion price per share) that is less than 100% of the Market Price of Common Stock immediately prior to the date of the agreement on pricing of such shares(or of such convertible securities) (such date of agreement, the Pricing Date) then, in such event:
(A) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the Pricing Date (the Initial Number) shall be increased to the number obtained by multiplying the Initial Number by a fraction (I) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Pricing Date and (y) the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued (or into which convertible securities may be converted) and (II) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Pricing Date and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which the Aggregate Consideration in respect of such issuance of shares of Common Stock (or convertible securities) would purchase at the Market Price of Common Stock immediately prior to the Pricing Date; and
(B) the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Pricing Date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in full immediately prior to the adjustment pursuant to clause (A) above (disregarding whether or not this Warrant was exercisable by its terms at such time), and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in full immediately after the adjustment pursuant to clause (A) above (disregarding whether or not this Warrant is exercisable by its terms at such time).
For purposes of the foregoing, (1) the Aggregate Consideration in respect of such issuance of shares of Common Stock (or convertible securities) shall be deemed to be equal to the sum of the net offering price (before deduction of any related expenses payable to third parties, including discounts and commissions) of all such shares of Common Stock and convertible securities, plus the aggregate amount, if any, payable upon conversion of any such convertible securities (assuming conversion in accordance with their terms immediately following their issuance (and further assuming for this purpose that such convertible securities are convertible at such time)); (2) in the case of the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or convertible securities for, in whole or in part, any non-cash property (or in the case of any non-cash property payable upon conversion of any such convertible securities), the consideration represented by such non-cash property shall be deemed to be the Market Price (in the case of securities) and/or Fair Market Value (in all other cases), as applicable, of such non-cash property as of immediately prior to the Pricing Date (before deduction of any related expenses payable to third parties, including discounts and commissions); (3) on any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of any such issued convertible securities, and/or any decrease in the
-13-
consideration receivable by the Corporation in respect of any such conversion (each, a Post-Issuance Adjustment), then, to the extent that, in respect of the same facts and events, the adjustment provisions set forth in this Section 12 (excluding this clause (3)) do not result in a proportionate increase in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and/or proportionate decrease in the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant, in each case equal to or greater than the proportionate increase and/or decrease, respectively, in respect of such convertible securities, then the number of Warrant Shares issuable, and the Exercise Price payable, upon exercise of this Warrant, in each case then in effect, shall forthwith be readjusted to such number of Warrant Shares and such Exercise Price as would have been obtained had the Post-Issuance Adjustment been effective in respect of such convertible securities as of immediately prior to the Pricing Date of such convertible securities; (4) if the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall have been adjusted upon the issuance of any convertible securities in accordance with this Section 12, subject to clause (3) above, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made for the actual issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the actual conversion of such convertible securities in accordance with their terms; and (5) Permitted Transactions shall include (a) issuances of shares of Common Stock (including upon exercise of options) to directors, advisors, employees or consultants of the Corporation pursuant to a stock option plan, employee stock purchase plan, restricted stock plan, other employee benefit plan or other similar compensatory agreement or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors, (b) issuances of shares of Common Stock in accordance with or pursuant to any Existing Convertible Notes or Existing Convertible Note Warrants and (c) issuances of any Amazon Warrants or shares of Common Stock in accordance with or pursuant to the Amazon Warrants, including in connection with the exercise of this Warrant. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 12(ii) shall become effective immediately upon the date of such issuance. For the avoidance of doubt, no increase to the Exercise Price or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made pursuant to this Section 12(ii).
(iii) Distributions. If the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a dividend or other distribution (by spin-off or otherwise) on shares of Common Stock, whether in cash, Equity Interests of the Corporation, other securities of the Corporation, evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation or any other Person or any other property (including Equity Interests, other securities or evidences of indebtedness of a subsidiary), or any combination thereof, excluding (A) dividends or distributions subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 12(i) or (B) dividends or distributions of rights in connection with the adoption of a stockholder rights plan in customary form (including with respect to the receipt of such rights in respect of shares of Common Stock (including Warrant Shares) issued subsequent to the initial dividend or distribution of such rights), then in each such case, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in full (disregarding whether or not this Warrant had been exercisable by its terms at such time) shall be increased by multiplying such number of Warrant Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Market Price per share of Common Stock on such record date and the denominator of which is the Market Price per share of Common Stock on such record date less the Fair Market Value of the cash and/or any other property, as applicable, to be so paid or distributed in such dividend or distribution in respect of one share of Common Stock (in each case as of the record date of such dividend or distribution); such adjustment shall take effect on the record date for such dividend or distribution. In the event of such adjustment, the Exercise Price shall immediately be decreased by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which
-14-
is the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in full immediately prior to such adjustment (disregarding whether or not this Warrant was exercisable by its terms at such time), and the denominator of which is the new number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Fair Market Value of the cash and/or any other property, as applicable, to be so paid or distributed in such dividend or distribution in respect of one share of Common Stock (in each case as of the record date of such dividend or distribution) is equal to or greater than the Market Price per share of Common Stock on such record date, then proper provision shall be made such that upon exercise of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall receive, in addition to the applicable Warrant Shares, the amount and kind of such cash and/or any other property such Warrantholder would have received had such Warrantholder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date (disregarding whether or not this Warrant had been exercisable by its terms at such time). For purposes of the foregoing, in the event that such dividend or distribution in question is ultimately not so made, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to make such dividend or distribution, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect and the number of Warrant Shares that would then be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant if such record date had not been fixed. For the avoidance of doubt, no increase to the Exercise Price or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made pursuant to this Section 12(iii).
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 12(iii) to the contrary, in the event that all or any portion of any such dividend or other distribution would result in a number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Third Subsequent Warrant (as defined in the 2018 Investment Agreement, as amended), if issued, to exceed 13,144,710 Warrant Shares, then, solely with respect to the portion of such dividend or other distribution that results in such excess and instead of the portion of the adjustment exceeding such number of Warrant Shares, proper provision shall be made such that upon exercise of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall receive, in addition to the applicable Warrant Shares, the amount and kind of such cash and/or any other property such Warrantholder would have received had such Warrantholder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date of such dividend or distribution (disregarding whether or not this Warrant had been exercisable by its terms at such time).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12(iii), in the event that all or any portion of any such dividend or other distribution is in Other Voting Securities, then with respect to such dividend or distribution (or such portion thereof that is in Other Voting Securities, as applicable), the Warrantholder shall have the option, exercisable in writing delivered to the Corporation within seven Business Days of such Warrantholders receipt of the Corporations notice pursuant to Section 12(ix) relating to such dividend or other distribution, to elect (1) for the foregoing adjustments set forth in this Section 12(iii) to apply with respect to such dividend or distribution (or such portion thereof that is in Other Voting Securities, as applicable) or (2) in lieu of the foregoing adjustments set forth in this Section 12(iii) with respect to such dividend or distribution (or such portion thereof that is in Other Voting Securities, as applicable), but, for all purposes of this clause (2), after giving effect to the foregoing adjustments set forth in this Section 12(iii) with respect to any portion of such dividend or distribution that is in securities, cash and/or any other property, in each case other than Other Voting Securities, for its right to receive Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant to be converted, effective as of the record date of such
-15-
dividend or distribution, into the right to exercise this Warrant to acquire such Warrant Shares plus the Other Voting Securities that such Warrant Shares would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such dividend or distribution, assuming the exercise in full of this Warrant immediately prior to such record date (disregarding whether or not this Warrant was exercisable by its terms at such time); provided that for purposes of this clause (2), (x) the number and type of Other Voting Securities so deliverable upon any exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to take into account any stock or security dividends, splits, reverse splits, spin-offs, split-ups, mergers, reclassifications, reorganizations, recapitalizations, combinations or exchanges of securities and the like from and after the consummation of such dividend or distribution in question and at or prior to such exercise of this Warrant, and (y) with respect to any such Other Voting Securities that are described in clause (b) of the definition of Other Voting Securities, the terms of such Other Voting Securities, as issued upon exercise of this Warrant, shall take into account any anti-dilution or other adjustments that would have been applicable to such Other Voting Securities had such Other Voting Securities been outstanding from and after the consummation of such dividend or distribution in question. In the event that such dividend or distribution in question (or such portion thereof that is in Other Voting Securities, as applicable) is ultimately not so made, this Warrant shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to make such dividend or distribution (or such portion thereof that is in Other Voting Securities, as applicable), as though the record date thereof had not been fixed.
(iv) Repurchases. If the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof shall at any time or from time to time effect Repurchases (other than a Permitted Repurchase), the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be immediately adjusted, in each case in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, as if, in lieu of such Repurchases, the Corporation had (A) first, declared and paid a dividend, in cash, on shares of Common Stock in an aggregate amount equal to the Assumed Payment Amount, with a record date as of the trading day immediately preceding the first public disclosure of the Corporations (or such subsidiarys) intent to effect such Repurchase, and (B) second, effected a reverse-split of Common Stock, in the proportion required to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding from (1) the number of such shares outstanding immediately prior to the first purchase of Equity Interests comprising such Repurchases to (2) the number of such shares outstanding immediately following the last purchase of Equity Interests comprising such Repurchases (in the case of this clause (B), with such adjustments as are appropriate to exclude the effect of any issuances of Equity Interests, and any dividends, distributions, splits, subdivisions, reclassifications and combinations subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 12(i), in each case from and after the first purchase of Equity Interests comprising such Repurchases and at or prior to the last purchase of Equity Interests comprising such Repurchases). For the avoidance of doubt, no increase to the Exercise Price or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made pursuant to this Section 12(iv). For purposes of the foregoing, the Assumed Payment Amount with respect to any Repurchases shall mean the aggregate Market Price (in the case of securities) and/or Fair Market Value (in the case of cash and/or any other property), as applicable, as of such Repurchases, of the aggregate consideration paid to effect such Repurchases.
(v) Change of Control Transactions. In case of any Change of Control Transaction or reclassification of Common Stock (other than a reclassification of Common Stock subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 12(i)), notwithstanding anything to the contrary
-16-
contained herein, (a) the Corporation shall notify the Warrantholder in writing of such Change of Control Transaction or reclassification as promptly as practicable, (b) subject to clause (c) below, solely in the event of a Change of Control Transaction that is a Business Combination or a reclassification, the Warrantholders right to receive Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be converted, effective upon the occurrence of such Business Combination or reclassification, into the right to exercise this Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) that the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such Business Combination or reclassification) upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such Business Combination or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Business Combination or reclassification, and (c) all Warrant Shares which are not then vested shall vest fully and become non-forfeitable and immediately exercisable upon consummation of such Change of Control Transaction or reclassification. In determining the kind and amount of stock, securities or the property receivable upon exercise of this Warrant upon and following adjustment pursuant to this paragraph, if the holders of Common Stock have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such Business Combination (an Election Mechanic), then the Warrantholder shall have the right to make the same election upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to the number of shares of stock or other securities or property which the Warrantholder shall receive upon exercise of this Warrant. The Corporation, or the Person or Persons formed by the applicable Business Combination or reclassification, or that acquire(s) the applicable shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, shall make lawful provisions to establish such rights and to provide for such adjustments that, for events from and after such Business Combination or reclassification, shall be as nearly equivalent as possible to the rights and adjustments provided for herein, and the Corporation shall not be a party to or permit any such Business Combination or reclassification to occur unless such provisions are made as a part of the terms thereof.
(vi) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments. All calculations under this Section 12 shall be made to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a cent or to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share, as the case may be. Any provision of this Section 12 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than $0.01 or one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share of Common Stock, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or 1/100th of a share of Common Stock, or more.
(vii) Timing of Issuance of Additional Securities Upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which (a) the provisions of this Section 12 shall require that an adjustment (the Subject Adjustment) shall become effective immediately after a record date (the Subject Record Date) for an event and (b) the Warrantholder exercises this Warrant after the Subject Record Date and before the consummation of such event, the Corporation may defer until the consummation of such event (i) issuing to such Warrantholder the incrementally additional shares of Common Stock or other property issuable upon such exercise by reason of the Subject Adjustment and (ii) paying to such Warrantholder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock; provided, however, that the Corporation upon request shall promptly deliver to such Warrantholder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Warrantholders right to receive such
-17-
additional shares (or other property, as applicable), and such cash, upon the consummation of such event.
(viii) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in Section 12, the Corporation shall forthwith prepare a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect and the Warrant Shares into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment, and cause a copy of such statement to be delivered to the Warrantholder as promptly as practicable.
(ix) Notice of Adjustment Event. In the event that the Corporation shall propose to take any action of the type described in this Section 12 (but only if the action of the type described in this Section 12 would result in an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable or a change in the type of securities or property to be delivered upon exercise of this Warrant), the Corporation shall provide written notice to the Warrantholder, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set forth the facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the date so fixed. In case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the taking of such proposed action unless the Corporation reasonably determines in good faith that, given the nature of such action, the provision of such notice at least 10 days in advance is not reasonably practicable from a timing perspective, in which case such notice shall be given as far in advance prior to the taking of such proposed action as is reasonably practicable from a timing perspective.
(x) Adjustment Rules. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 12 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur. If an adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of the Common Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of the Common Stock.
(xi) No Impairment. The Corporation shall not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or any other organizational document, 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 to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Corporation shall not take or permit to be taken any action which would entitle the Warrantholder to an adjustment under this Section 12 if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon exercise of this Warrant in full (disregarding whether or not this Warrant is exercisable by its terms at such time), together with all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the exercise in full of any and all outstanding Equity Interests (disregarding whether or not any such Equity Interests are exercisable by their terms at such time) would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by its certificate of incorporation.
-18-
(xii) Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 12, the Corporation shall take any and all action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory or other governmental, NASDAQ or other applicable securities exchange, corporate or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Corporation may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Common Stock, or all other securities or other property, that the Warrantholder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 12.
13. Mandatory Exercise Upon Business Combination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of the consummation prior to the Expiration Time of a Business Combination where all outstanding shares of Common Stock are exchanged solely for cash consideration, the Corporation shall have the right to cause the Warrantholder to exercise this Warrant; provided that the Corporation must give written notice to the Warrantholder at least 10 Business Days prior to the date of consummation of such qualifying Business Combination, which notice shall specify the expected date on which such qualifying Business Combination is to take place and set forth the facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the amount of cash deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant and to each outstanding share of Common Stock; provided, further that the Corporation may only cause this Warrant to be exercised concurrently with the consummation of such qualifying Business Combination and the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the cash consideration as determined pursuant to Section 12(v). If the Warrantholder is required to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this Section 13, the Warrantholder shall notify the Corporation within five Business Days after receiving the Corporations written notice described above in this Section 13 whether it is electing to exercise this Warrant through a Cash Exercise or a Cashless Exercise. If the Warrantholder (i) does not provide such notice within five Business Days after receiving the Corporations written notice described above in this Section 13, or (ii) elects a Cash Exercise but does not pay the applicable Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares thereby purchased to the Corporation upon the consummation of such qualifying Business Combination then, in either such case, the Corporation shall effect the exercise of this Warrant through a Cashless Exercise.
14. Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, the Corporation shall not honor any exercise of this Warrant, and a Warrantholder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that, after giving effect to an attempted exercise set forth on an applicable Notice of Exercise, such Warrantholder (together with such Warrantholders Affiliates, and any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Warrantholders for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and any other applicable regulations of the SEC, including any group of which the Warrantholder is a member (the foregoing, Attribution Parties)) would beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, for purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Warrantholder and its Attribution Parties shall include the number of Warrant Shares issuable under the Notice of Exercise with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (a) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of any Warrant
-19-
beneficially owned by such Warrantholder or any of its Attribution Parties, and (b) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including any warrants) beneficially owned by such Warrantholder or any of its Attribution Parties that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise similar to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 14, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and any other applicable regulations of the SEC. In addition, for purposes hereof, group has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the SEC. For purposes of this Section 14, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Warrantholder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (x) the Corporations most recent periodic or annual filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation that is filed with the SEC, or (z) a more recent notice by the Corporation or the Corporations transfer agent to the Warrantholder setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Upon the written request of a Warrantholder (which may be by email), the Corporation shall, within three (3) Trading Days thereof, confirm in writing to such Warrantholder (which may be via email) 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 any actual conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including exercise of this Warrant, by such Warrantholder or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was last publicly reported or confirmed to the Warrantholder. The Corporation shall be entitled to rely on representations made to it by the Warrantholder in any Notice of Exercise regarding its Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Warrantholder acknowledges that the Warrantholder is solely responsible for any schedules or statements required to be filed by it in accordance with Section 13(d) or Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
(b) The Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall initially be 19.999% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Notice of Exercise (to the extent permitted pursuant to this Section 14); provided, however, that by written notice to the Corporation, which will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is given by the Warrantholder to the Corporation, the Warrantholder may waive or amend the provisions of this Section 14 to change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other number, and the provisions of this Section 14 shall continue to apply. Upon any such waiver or amendment to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived or amended by the Warrantholder without first providing the minimum written notice required by the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time following notice of a Change of Control Transaction under Section 12(v) with respect to a Change of Control Transaction that is pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer (by the Corporation or another Person (other than the Warrantholder or any Affiliate of the Warrantholder)), the Warrantholder may waive or amend the Beneficial Ownership Limitation effective immediately upon written notice to the Corporation and may reinstitute a Beneficial Ownership Limitation at any time thereafter effective immediately upon written notice to the Corporation.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 14, none of the provisions of this Section 14 shall restrict in any way the number of shares of Common Stock which the Warrantholder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or
-20-
other consideration that the Warrantholder may receive in the event of a Change of Control Transaction as contemplated in Section 12(v) of this Warrant.
15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In addition, each of the parties (a) submits to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery in and for New Castle County, or in the event (but only in the event) that such Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such dispute, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such United States District Court also does not have jurisdiction over such dispute, any Delaware State court sitting in New Castle County, in the event any dispute (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arises out of this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and waives any claim of lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue and any claims that such courts are an inconvenient forum, and (c) agrees that it shall not bring any claim, action or proceeding relating to this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery in and for New Castle County, or in the event (but only in the event) that such Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such claim, action or proceeding the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such United States District Court also does not have jurisdiction over such claim, action or proceeding, any Delaware State court sitting in New Castle County. Each party agrees that service of process upon such party in any such claim, action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS WARRANT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT, OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS WARRANT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 15.
16. Binding Effect. This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the Corporation.
17. Amendments. This Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived only with the written consent of the Corporation and the Warrantholder.

19. Entire Agreement. This Warrant and the annexes attached hereto, the 2018 Investment Agreement, the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the 2018 Investment Agreement) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, between the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
20. Specific Performance. The parties agree that failure of any party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including a partys failure to take all actions as are necessary on such partys part in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, will cause irreparable injury to the other party, for which
-22-
monetary damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy. It is agreed that the parties shall be entitled to equitable relief including injunctive relief and specific performance of the terms hereof, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, and each party hereby consents to the issuance of injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction to compel performance of a partys obligations and to the granting by any court of the remedy of specific performance of such partys obligations hereunder, this being in addition to any other remedies to which the parties are entitled at law or equity.
21. Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies provided in this Warrant are cumulative and are not exclusive of, and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights or remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise.
22. Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Warrantholder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Warrantholder, shall give rise to any liability of the Warrantholder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Corporation, whether such liability is asserted by the Corporation or by creditors of the Corporation.
23. Interpretation. Unless otherwise specified in this Warrant or the context otherwise requires:
(i) when a reference is made in this Warrant to Sections or Annexes such reference shall be to a Section of, or Annex to, this Warrant unless otherwise indicated;
(ii) references to parties refer to the parties to this Warrant;
(iii) the headings contained in this Warrant are for reference purposes only and are not part of this Warrant;
(iv) any reference to a wholly owned subsidiary of a Person shall mean such subsidiary is directly or indirectly wholly owned by such Person;
(v) the terms defined in the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural and vice versa;

(vii) words importing the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neutral genders and vice versa;
(viii) references to hereto, herein, hereby, hereof, hereunder, and the like refer to this Warrant as a whole and not to any particular section or provision, unless the context requires otherwise;
(ix) the word extent in the phrase to the extent shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase shall not mean simply if;
-23-
(x) whenever the words include, includes, or including are used in this Warrant, they shall be deemed followed by the words without limitation;
(xi) the rule known as the ejusdem generis rule shall not apply, and accordingly, general words introduced by the word other shall not be given a restrictive meaning by reason of the fact that they are preceded by words indicating a particular class of acts, matters or things;
(xii) no rule of construction against the draftsperson shall be applied in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Warrant. The parties have jointly negotiated and drafted this Warrant, and if an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Warrant shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Warrant;

(xv) except as expressly stated in this Warrant, all references to any statute, rule, or regulation are to the statute, rule or regulation as amended, modified, supplemented, or replaced from time to time (and, in the case of statutes, include any rules and regulations promulgated under the statute) and to any section of any statute, rule, or regulation include any successor to the section.
