(a) Exercise Procedure. This Warrant Certificate may be exercised from time to time on any Business Day during the Exercise Period, for all or any portion of the unexercised Warrant Shares, upon:

(i) delivery to the Company of a duly completed and executed Exercise Certificate in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an “Exercise Certificate”), which certificate will specify the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased and the Aggregate Exercise Price; and

(ii) substantially contemporaneously with the delivery of the Exercise Certificate, payment to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3(b); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the Exercise Price be lower than the par value of a Warrant Share.

(b) Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made, at the option of the Holder as expressed in the Exercise Certificate, by any of the following methods:

(i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price;

(ii) by instructing the Company to withhold a number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate with an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the Exercise Date equal to such Aggregate Exercise Price; or

(iii) any combination of the foregoing.

In the event of any withholding of Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii) or (iii) (solely to the extent of such withholding, a “Cashless Exercise”) where the number of such Warrant Shares whose aggregate value is not a whole number, the number of such shares withheld by the Company shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder (by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Holder) in an amount calculated as provided pursuant to Section 3(e) below.

For purposes of Rule 144, it is acknowledged and agreed that (i) the Warrant Shares issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant Certificate in any Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired on the Issue Date, and (ii) the holding period for any Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate in any Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have commenced on the Issue Date; provided that the Company makes no representation or warranty regarding the commencement of the holding period of any Warrant Share.

(c) Automatic Cashless Exercise. To the extent this Warrant Certificate has not been exercised in full by the Holder prior to the date of any of the following events or circumstances, any portion of this Warrant Certificate that remains unexercised on such date shall be deemed to have been exercised automatically pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, in whole (and not in part), on the Business Day immediately preceding the earlier of (i) the occurrence of the Expiration Date; provided that, as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date the Fair Market Value of a Warrant Share is greater than or equal to the Exercise Price then in effect and (ii) the consummation of a Sale of the Company; provided that (x) as a result of such Sale of the Company the consideration to be received by the Company or its stockholders upon consummation thereof consists solely of cash, Marketable Securities or a combination thereof and (y) as of the Business Day immediately preceding the consummation of such Sale of the Company the Fair Market Value of a Warrant Share is greater than or equal to the Exercise Price then in effect.

(d) Delivery of Stock Certificates. With respect to any exercise of this Warrant Certificate by the Holder, upon receipt by the Company of an Exercise Certificate and delivery of the Aggregate Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) deliver in accordance with the terms hereof to or upon the order of the Holder that number of Warrant Shares for the portion of this Warrant Certificate so exercised on such date, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 3(e) below. If such Warrant Shares are issued in certificated form, then the Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing the number of Warrant Shares as the Holder shall request in the Exercise Certificate. If such Warrant Shares are issued in uncertificated form, then the Company shall deliver upon request a confirmation evidencing the issuance and registration of such shares. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon any exercise hereof this Warrant Certificate shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates of Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.

(e) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional Warrant Share upon exercise of any Warrant Certificate. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share that the Holder would otherwise be entitled upon such exercise, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash (by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Holder) equal to the product of (i) such fraction multiplied by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share on the Exercise Date.

(f) Surrender of this Warrant Certificate; Delivery of New Warrant Certificate.

(i) The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant Certificate to the Company until this Warrant Certificate has been exercised in full, in which event, the Holder shall, at the written request of the Company, surrender this Warrant Certificate to the Company for cancellation within five (5) Business Days after the date the final Exercise Certificate is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant Certificate resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder by an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares that have been issued hereunder as a result of previous exercises and withheld in connection with Cashless Exercises, in each case subject to adjustment as provided herein. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares issued and purchased, the date of such issuances and purchases and the number of Warrant Shares withheld in connection with Cashless Exercises. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant Certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this Section 3(f), following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be fewer than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that there are unexpired and unexercised Warrant Shares remaining under this Warrant Certificate, the Holder may request that the Company (and the Company shall), at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares being issued in accordance with Section 3(d) and the surrender of this Warrant Certificate, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the rights of the Holder to subscribe for the unexpired, unexercised and not withheld (in connection with Cashless Exercises) Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant Certificate. Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Holder in its sole discretion, such new Warrant Certificate shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant Certificate.

(g) Certain Covenants With Respect to the Issuance of Warrant Certificate and Warrant Shares. With respect to the exercise of this Warrant Certificate and the issuance of Warrant Shares hereunder, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that it will:

(i) cause any Warrant Certificate issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant Certificate to be, upon issuance, duly authorized;

(ii) cause all Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate (or any substitute or replacement Warrant Certificate) to be, upon issuance, and the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that such Warrant Shares are, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, issued without violation of any pre-emptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and free and clear of all Liens and similar encumbrances;

(iii) take all such actions as may be necessary to (x) comply with Section 3(i) below and (y) ensure that all Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise hereof are issued without violation by the Company of any applicable Law or any requirements of any U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchanges upon which the Warrant Shares may be listed at the time of such exercise; and

(iv) pay all reasonable expenses in connection with, and all governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of their Warrant Certificate.

(h) Conditional Exercise. Notwithstanding any other term or provision hereof, if an exercise of all or any portion of this Warrant Certificate is to be made in connection with a Sale of the Company or other possible liquidity transaction or event, such exercise may, at the election of the Holder, be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the actual consummation of such transaction or event.

(i) Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times during the Exercise Period reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or (if applicable) other Equity Interests constituting Warrant Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the maximum number of Warrant Shares or other Equity Interests issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate or the conversion or exchange of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise. The Company shall not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate above the Exercise Price then in effect as of the date hereof, and shall take all such actions within its power as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate.

(j) Rule 144 Compliance. With a view to making available to the Holder the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Company shall:

(i) use reasonable commercial efforts to make and keep adequate public information available, as required by clause (c) of Rule 144;

(ii) use reasonable commercial efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(iii) furnish, or otherwise make available to the Holder so long as the Holder owns Warrant Shares, promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed or furnished by the Company as such Holder may reasonably request in connection with the sale of Common Stock without registration.

(k) Ownership Cap. To the extent that the Initial Holders (or one or more of its controlled Affiliates) is a Holder hereof, the Company shall not knowingly effect the exercise of this Warrant Certificate, and the Initial Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant Certificate to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the Initial Holder (together with its Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the Equity Interests of the Company having ordinary voting rights outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of such voting Equity Interests beneficially owned by the Initial Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate with respect to which the determination of such aggregate number is being made, but shall exclude Warrant Shares that do not have ordinary voting rights or that would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant Certificate beneficially owned by the Initial Holder and its Affiliates or (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other Equity Interests of the Company beneficially owned by the Initial Holder and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, any Convertible Securities) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained in this Section 3(k). Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3(k), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Warrant Certificate, in determining the number of outstanding Equity Interests of the Company having ordinary voting rights the Initial Holder of this Warrant Certificate may rely on the number of such outstanding Equity Interests as reflected in the most recent of (i) if available, the Company’s Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (iii) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of such Equity Interests outstanding. In addition, upon the written request of the Initial Holder, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days, confirm to the Initial Holder the number of its shares of Equity Interests having ordinary voting rights then outstanding.

Section 4. Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares, Exercise Price, etc. The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4.

(a) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Reorganizations, Reclassifications, etc. In the event of any changes in the number of Warrant Shares Deemed Outstanding (or the number of outstanding Equity Interests into which Warrant Shares may be exercisable or convertible into) by reason of redemptions, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, splits or reverse splits, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, substitutions, replacements or the like, the number and class of Warrant Shares available upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate in the aggregate and the Exercise Price per share shall be correspondingly adjusted as may be necessary (but only to the extent necessary) in order to give the Holder of this Warrant Certificate, upon exercise hereof, the total number, class, and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned (or would have had the right to own upon exercise hereof) had this Warrant Certificate been exercised immediately prior to any such event and had the Holder continued to hold such Warrant Shares until after the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant Certificate.

(b) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Certain Dividends, etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of its Common Stock payable in cash, Equity Interests or other property (or prior to the exercise of this Warrant Certificate in full the holders of Common Stock become entitled to receive any such dividend or distribution), then upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, for each Warrant Share acquired, the Holder shall receive, without additional cost to the Holder, the total amount, number and kind of cash, Equity Interests or other property which the Holder would have received had the Holder owned the Warrant Shares of record as of the date such dividend or distribution occurred.

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable following any change or adjustment of the type described above in this Section 4 (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of a Responsible Officer setting forth in reasonable detail such change or adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

(ii) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of a written request by the Holder, but in any event not later than three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying the number of Warrant Shares or the amount, if any, of other Equity Interests, securities or assets then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate.

(d) Notices. In the event that, at any time during the Exercise Period, the Company shall take a record of the holders of its outstanding capital stock (or other Equity Interests at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate) for the purpose of:

(i) entitling or enabling such holders to receive any dividend or other distribution, to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other securities;

(ii) (x) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of any outstanding securities, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, any Public Offering of the Company’s Equity Interests, (y) a Sale of the Company or (z) any Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation); or

(iii) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company (including by way of a bankruptcy or equivalent insolvency proceeding);

Section 5. Warrant Register. The Company shall keep and properly maintain at its principal executive offices a register (the “Warrant Register”) for the registration of this Warrant Certificate and any transfers thereof. The Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Warrant Certificate is registered on such register as the Holder thereof for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, except any assignment, division, combination or other transfer of this Warrant Certificate effected in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate.

Section 6. Transfer of Warrant Certificate. Subject to Section 10, this Warrant Certificate and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, by the Holder without charge to the Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate to the Company at its then principal executive offices with a properly completed and duly executed instrument of assignment in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (an “Assignment”). Upon such compliance, surrender and delivery, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such Assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the portion of this Warrant Certificate, if any, not so assigned, and this Warrant Certificate shall promptly be cancelled.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including in Section 4 above), (i) prior to the Exercise Date, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive dividends, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant Certificate be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in its capacity as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to receive dividends, subscription or other rights, and (ii) prior to the registration of the Holder in the share register of the Company with respect to the Warrant Shares to which the Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant Certificate be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in its capacity as such, any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or receive notice of Board or stockholder meetings. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant Certificate shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 7, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to all holders of Common Stock, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to such holders.

Section 8. Replacement on Loss; Division and Combination.

(a) Replacement of Warrant Certificate on Loss. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate and upon delivery of a customary indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that a written indemnification agreement or affidavit of loss of the Holder shall be a sufficient indemnity) and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant Certificate for cancellation to the Company, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu hereof, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and exercisable for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as this Warrant Certificate so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed; provided that, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant Certificate in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

(b) Division and Combination of Warrant Certificate. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant Certificate as to any transfer or other assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, this Warrant Certificate may be divided or, following any such division of this Warrant Certificate, subsequently combined with other Warrant Certificates, upon the surrender of this Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates to the Company at its then principal executive offices, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrant Certificates are to be issued, signed by each applicable Holder or its agents or attorneys. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant Certificate as to any transfer or assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall at its own expense execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates in exchange for this Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates so surrendered in accordance with such notice.

Section 9. Disputes; No Impairment, etc. The parties hereto agree as follows:

(a) Disputes. In the event of any dispute which arises between the Holder and the Company (including the Board of the Company) with respect to any calculation or determination of the adjusted Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares, other Equity Interests, Fair Market Value, cash or other property issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the amount or type of consideration due to the Holder in connection with any event, transaction or other matter described in Section 4 above or any other matter involving this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Shares that is not resolved by the parties after good faith discussions and efforts to reach resolution, upon the request of the Holder the disputed issue(s) shall be submitted to a firm of independent investment bankers or public accountants of recognized national standing, which (i) shall be chosen by the Company and be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and (ii) shall be independent of the Company (an “Independent Advisor”), for determination, and such determination by the Independent Advisor shall be binding upon the Company and the Holder with respect to this Warrant Certificate, any Warrant Shares issued or issuable in connection herewith, the Exercise Price therefor, or any other matter in dispute, as the case may be, absent manifest error. Costs and expenses of the Independent Advisor shall be shared 50/50 by the Company and the Holder.

(b) Equitable Equivalent. In case any event shall occur as to which the provisions of Section 9(a) above are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would not, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of the Holder, fairly protect the rights and benefits of the Holder represented by this Warrant Certificate in accordance with the essential intent and principles of Sections 4 and 9(a), then, in any such case, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall submit the matter and issues raised by the Holder to an Independent Advisor, which shall make a written determination, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in Sections 4 and 9(a), as to whether and to what extent an adjustment, if any, is necessary to preserve, without dilution or other material modification, the rights and benefits represented by this Warrant Certificate.

Costs and expenses of the Independent Advisor shall be shared 50/50 by the Company and the Holder.

(c) No Avoidance. The Company shall not, by way of amendment of any of its Organic Documents or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, intentionally avoid or seek to avoid the observance, performance or intended results of any of the terms or provisions of this Warrant Certificate, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms or provisions and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution or other material modification or other impairment as if the Holder was a stockholder of the Company entitled to the benefit of fiduciary duties afforded to stockholders under Delaware law.

Section 10. Compliance with the Securities Act; Representations and Warranties.

(a) Agreement to Comply with the Securities Act, etc.

(i) Legend. The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant Certificate, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 10 and the restrictive legend requirements set forth on the face of this Warrant Certificate and further agrees that it shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant Certificate or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act. Subject to clause (ii) below, this Warrant Certificate and all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate (unless registered under the Securities Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the form as set forth on the face hereof.

(ii) Removal of Restrictive Legends. Neither this Warrant Certificate nor any certificates evidencing Warrant Shares issuable or deliverable under or in connection with this Warrant Certificate shall contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend required above in Section 10(a)(i) above) in any of the following circumstances: (A) following any sale of this Warrant Certificate or any Warrant Shares issued or delivered to the Holder under or in connection herewith pursuant to Rule 144, (B) if this Warrant Certificate or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under clause (b)(1) of Rule 144, or (C) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). This Warrant Certificate or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, shall be issued free of all legends if the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance.

(iii) Replacement Warrant Certificate. The Company agrees that at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions have been satisfied it shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) following written request from the Holder issue a replacement Warrant Certificate or replacement Warrant Shares, as the case may be, free of all restrictive legends.

(iv) Sale of Unlegended Shares. The Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from this Warrant Certificate and any certificates representing securities as set forth in Section 10(a)(ii) above is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell this Warrant Certificate or any such securities pursuant to either an effective Registration Statement or otherwise pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

(b) Representations and Warranties of the Holder. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant Certificate, the Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company, as of the Issue Date, as follows:

(i) The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Holder is acquiring this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof for investment for its own account and not with a current view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

(ii) The Holder understands and acknowledges that this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such Laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

(iii) The Holder acknowledges that it can bear the economic and financial risk of its investment for an indefinite period and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Shares. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant Certificate and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.

(c) Representations and Warranties of the Company. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant Certificate, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder, as of the Issue Date, as follows:

(i) All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate (or any substitute or replacement Warrant Certificate) shall be, upon issuance in accordance with the terms thereof, (x) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, (y) issued without violation of any pre-emptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and (z) free and clear of all Liens and similar encumbrances.

(ii) The Company has taken all actions necessary to ensure that all Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise hereof will be issued without violation by the Company of (x) any applicable Law or any requirements of any U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchange or (y) any Organic Document of or applicable to the Company.

(iii) The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and has the capacity and corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Warrant Certificate.

(iv) The Company has taken or caused to be taken all action required to be taken by it, its Board, any of its stockholders or any other Person to authorize the execution, delivery, issuance and performance of this Warrant Certificate and the issuance of the Warrant Shares.

(v) This Warrant Certificate has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

(vi) The obligations of the Company under this Warrant Certificate are legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable against the Company in accordance with the terms hereof.

(vii) The Company has complied with all obligations set forth in Section 3(i), above.

(viii) On September 30, 2023, the authorized capital of the Company was as follows:

(A) 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 34,643,855 shares were issued and outstanding. All of the outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized, are fully paid and nonassessable and were issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities Laws. The Company holds no Common Stock in its treasury.

(B) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, all having a par value per share of $0.001 par value per share, none of which were issued or were outstanding.

(C) Except for (x) the rights provided pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, and (y) as set forth on Schedule A hereto, there are no outstanding Options or other agreements (including conversion or preemptive rights or rights of first refusal or similar rights), orally or in writing, to purchase or acquire from the Company any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock.

(D) Except as set forth on Schedule B hereto, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any Contract containing any term or provision providing for the acceleration of vesting (or lapse of a repurchase right) or other changes in the vesting provisions or other terms of such agreement or understanding upon the occurrence of any event or combination of events. The Company has never adjusted or amended the exercise price of any Options or Convertible Securities previously awarded, whether through amendment, cancellation, replacement grant, repricing or any other means. Except as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation the Company has no obligation (contingent or otherwise) to purchase or redeem any of its Equity Interests.
