If after the one year anniversary of the Issue Date, the VWAP (as defined below) of the Common Stock for any consecutive thirty (30) day period exceeds $6.50 per share (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2 herein) (each an “Exercise Trigger”), the Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to require Holder to exercise some or all of any unexercised portion of this Warrant, as designated by the Company in the Mandatory Exercise Notice on the Mandatory Exercise Date (each as defined below) (each, a “Mandatory Exercise”). The Company may exercise its right to require Holder to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this Section 1.2 by delivering a written exercise notice (the “Mandatory Exercise Notice”) at any time after the occurrence of an Exercise Trigger (the date of the Mandatory Exercise Notice, the “Mandatory Exercise Notice Date”). The Mandatory Exercise Notice shall state (i) the Trading Day by which the Mandatory Exercise shall occur, which shall be no later than the third (3rd) Trading Day following the Mandatory Exercise Notice Date (the “Mandatory Exercise Date”), (ii) the aggregate number of Shares underlying the Warrant that the Company has elected to require that the Holder exercise in connection with such Mandatory Exercise (the “Mandatory Exercise Amount”) pursuant to this Section 1.2 and (iii) the Company’s wire instructions for delivery of the aggregate Warrant Price due in connection with the Mandatory Exercise.

If this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, this Warrant shall automatically be reduced by the number of Shares issued and remain exercisable for such remaining Shares not so acquired, and all other terms of the Warrant shall otherwise remain in full force and effect as so adjusted. Upon final exercise of this Warrant for any such remaining number of Shares, this Warrant shall be surrendered by the Holder to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Shares hereunder, the number of Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

1.4Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, or surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.

1.5Sale, Merger, Consolidation or Liquidation of the Company.

1.5.1“Acquisition”. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any of the following transactions, whether effected directly or indirectly in one or a series of related transactions involving: (i) any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person, (ii) any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, (iii) the consummation of any purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another person) pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (iv) any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange by the Company

pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property and (v) the consummation of a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another person or group of persons; provided, however, only those transactions described in clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) that result in the holders of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of immediately prior to the transaction (or series of related transactions) beneficially owning less than a majority by voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock of the surviving or successor entity as of immediately after the transaction shall be considered an Acquisition.

1.5.2Assumption of Warrant. Upon the consummation of such Acquisition where the consideration for the Acquisition to be received by the Company’s stockholders consists solely or in part of stock or securities of the acquirer or an entity affiliated with the acquirer, the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing thereof, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted based on the exchange ratio that applies to the Company’s Common Stock in the Acquisition (i.e. the Warrant Price will be divided by the exchange ratio).

1.5.3Termination of Warrant. In the case of (a) an Acquisition where the consideration for the Acquisition to be received by the Company’s stockholders in return for their equity of the Company consists of cash or a combination of cash and other property (other than stock or securities of the acquirer) or (b) the proposed liquidation and dissolution of the Company, the Company shall give Holder at least 30 days advance written notice of such event (the “Company Notice”), which notice shall include the Company’s best estimate of the value of the Shares receivable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant (including, without limitation, the consideration payable to holders of Common Stock on a per share basis in connection with an Acquisition) and the proposed date upon which such event is expected to occur. During such notice period, Holder may exercise or convert this Warrant in accordance with its terms, whether or not the exercise or conversion is contingent upon the happening of such event and/or existence of a minimum value of the Shares receivable upon exercise or conversion as provided on Holder’s exercise notice; provided that such minimum value shall be no greater than the per share price set forth in the Company Notice. Subject to prior exercise or conversion as provided in the preceding sentence, this Warrant will terminate at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the day prior to the date such event is expected to occur as set forth in the Company Notice; provided that (a) the Company Notice of the proposed event is actually received by Holder, as evidenced by a return receipt of certified mail delivery, a certificate of delivery by hand delivery or written verification of delivery from the overnight courier, and (b) the event actually occurs within (30) days after the date it is expected to occur, as such date was specified in the Company Notice.

1.5.4Holder Put Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of an Acquisition pursuant to which the Company’s stockholders will be entitled to receive consideration in exchange for their Common Stock in a per share amount that is less than

the Warrant Price (as adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant), at any time on or after a Holder’s receipt of a Company Notice in accordance with Section 1.5.3 herein and before the fifth (5th) Trading Day prior to the consummation of such Acquisition, each Holder shall have the right (the “Put Right”) to require the Company to purchase the Warrants then held by such Holder concurrently with the consummation of such Acquisition by delivering written notice to the Company (the “Put Notice”) indicating the Warrants held by the Holder to which the Put Notice applies. In the event a Holder exercises the Put Right in accordance with this Section 1.5.4, the Company shall, concurrently with and subject to the consummation of the Acquisition, purchase, or cause another party to such Acquisition to purchase, the Warrants to which the Put Notice applies for an amount in cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of such Warrants.

As used herein: “Black Scholes Value” means the value of the Warrants subject to a Put Notice at the time such Put Notice is delivered, which value is to be calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg utilizing (i) an underlying price per share equal to the greater of (1) the highest Closing Sale Price of the Company’s Common Stock during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement of the applicable Acquisition (or the consummation of the applicable Acquisition, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day that the Put Notice is delivered and (2) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash in the applicable Acquisition (if any) plus the Fair Market Value of the non-cash consideration being offered in the applicable Acquisition (if any), (ii) a strike price equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the date that the Put Notice is delivered, (iii) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the greater of (1) the remaining term of the Warrants as of the date that a Put Notice is delivered and (2) the remaining term of the Warrants as of the date of consummation of the applicable Acquisition, (iv) a zero cost of borrow and (v) an expected volatility equal to the 90 day volatility obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 260 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the earliest to occur of (A) the public disclosure of the applicable Acquisition, (B) the consummation of the applicable Acquisition and (C) the date on which the applicable Holder was first notified by the Company in writing of the execution and delivery of a definitive agreement with respect to the applicable Acquisition; “Fair Market Value” means (i) in the case of cash, the amount of such cash, (ii) in the case of a security, the Market Price of such security, or (iii) in the case of any consideration other than cash or securities, the amount as determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) in good faith. “Market Price” as of a particular date means: (i) if the security is then listed on a national securities exchange, the closing sale price of one (1) share of such security on such exchange on the last Trading Day for such security prior to such date; (ii) if the security is then quoted on the Bulletin Board or any similar quotation system or association, the closing sale price of one (1) share of such security on the Bulletin Board or such other quotation system or association on the last Trading Day for such security prior to the such date or, if no such closing sale price is available, the average of the high bid and the low asked price quoted thereon on the last Trading Day for such security prior to such date; or (iii) if the security is not then listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the Bulletin Board or such other quotation system or association, the fair value of one (1) share of such security as of such date, as determined by the Board in good faith.

2.1Adjustment of Warrant Price Upon Issuance of Shares. Upon the Company’s first capital raise transaction (whether a single transaction or a series of related transactions and excluding issuances of Common Stock as consideration for, or whose proceeds will be used in connection with, mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations, joint ventures, collaborations, strategic alliances, or third-party service arrangements occurring after the date of this Warrant which are not used solely for capital raising purposes, issuances pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and issuances pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date of the Warrant) having gross proceeds of greater than fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000.00) at a per share price less than the Warrant Price (a “Dilutive Issuance”), the Warrant Price shall be reduced to the lesser of (i) 120% of the per share price of the Company’s Common Stock sold by the Company in the Dilutive Issuance; and (ii) 120% of the weighted average per share price of the Company’s Common Stock issued in the Dilutive Issuance (if shares of Common Stock were sold at different prices in such Dilutive Issuance). For the avoidance of doubt, the Warrant Price shall not be adjusted if the Company issues common shares in exchange for proceeds of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000.00) or less. For the avoidance of doubt, the Warrant Price shall not be adjusted upwards pursuant to this Section 2.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Warrant Price be adjusted in a manner that would: (i) be prohibited by applicable securities laws or the requirements of the Canadian Securities Exchange (or the applicable primary securities exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock trades at such time) (a “Prohibited Adjustment”) or (ii) require the approval of the Company’s stockholders. In the event that this Section 2.1 would otherwise result in a Prohibited Adjustment to the Warrant Price or would require the approval of the Company’s stockholders, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted only to the extent permissible under applicable securities laws and the requirements of the Canadian Securities Exchange (or the applicable primary securities exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock trades at such time) without requiring the approval of the Company’s stockholders. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder shall be deemed to have consented to any adjustment to the Warrant Price in accordance with this Section 2.1. In the event that the Company’s Common Stock is listed and posted for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange, and an adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.1 would result in the Warrant Price being below $2.04, then if, following the amendment, for any ten consecutive trading days (the seventh day following such day being the “Acceleration Date”) the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Canadian Securities Exchange exceeds the amended Warrant Price by the applicable private placement discount prescribed by the Policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange at such time, the Expiration Date shall be accelerated to the date that is 30 days following the Acceleration Date.

2.2Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock payable in cash, shares of the Company’s Common Stock or other securities of the Company or subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, then upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the cash

and/or the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination occurred.

2.3Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant (other than a merger, consolidation or recapitalization described in Section 1.5 above or a dividend, split, etc. described in Section 2.2 above), Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other event. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 2 including, without limitation, appropriate adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise or conversion of the new Warrant.

2.4Adjustments of Warrant Price. If the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased. If the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock are divided by reclassification or otherwise, into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased.

2.5Adjustment is Cumulative. The provisions of this Section 2 shall similarly apply to successive, dividends, stock splits or combinations, reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, replacement or other events.

2.6No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its organizational documents or through a 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 under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Section 2 against impairment.

2.7Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares or scrip representing fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder an amount by check computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the applicable Warrant Price.

2.8Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which

such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from Holder, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.

2.It has such knowledge, skill and experience in securities, business and financial matters and investments generally, based on actual participation, that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and the Transferred Warrant and the suitability thereof as an investment for it.

3.It is capable of bearing and managing the risk of its investment in the Transferred Warrant.

4.It has reviewed such documents and information from the Company that it has requested and has had adequate opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company’s officers, directors and representatives concerning the terms and conditions of the Transferred Warrant, and the Company’s business, financial condition, properties, operations and prospects, and, without limiting any of Transferee’s rights under the Transferred Warrant, all such questions, if any, have been answered to its satisfaction. The Transferee is relying on its own investigation and evaluation of the Company and the Transferred Warrant and not on any other information.

5.It is acquiring the Transferred Warrant, and any Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof, for investment for its own account and not with a view to, or for sale or resale in connection with, any distribution thereof which would require registration under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

6.It understands that the Transferred Warrant and any Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof have not been registered under applicable state or federal securities laws by reason of certain exemptions from the registration provisions thereof which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of its representations and investment intent as expressed herein. The Company has not agreed to register the

Transferred Warrant or any of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Transferred Warrant for distribution in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, or agreed to comply with any exemption from registration under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws for the resale of such shares. It understands that by virtue of the provisions of certain rules respecting “restricted securities” promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Transferred Warrant shall be required to be held indefinitely, unless and until registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or unless an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws is available, in which case it may still be limited as to the number of such shares that may be sold. It agrees that the Transferred Warrant will not be offered, sold or transferred except as permitted by the terms of the Transferred Warrant and the Subscription Agreement.

Unless the Transferred Warrant or the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Transferred Warrant are sold pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act, the Transferred Warrant and the certificates representing or statements evidencing the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Transferred Warrant, as applicable, will bear a conspicuous legend in substantially the form set forth below:

[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN][THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SELECTED BY THE HOLDER, IN A FORM REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT.

If Holder is a Canadian Subscriber or otherwise subject to the Canadian Securities Laws, Holder understands and acknowledges that this Warrant and any Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant issued before the date that is four months and one day from the Issue Date, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:

7.It has not been offered the Transferred Warrant by any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to, advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine, or other similar media or television or radio broadcast or any seminar or meeting where, to its knowledge, those individuals that have attended have been invited by any such or similar means of general solicitation or advertising.

8.Its principal place of business is as set forth on the signature page to this letter under the heading “Principal Place of Business”.

9.Its EIN and its address and email address for notices under the Transferred Warrant that should be included as its record address, are as set forth on the signature page to this letter under the heading “Notice Information”.

10.To the extent the Transferred Warrant subject to the Transfer is not covered under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Transferee will provide, and will cause the Transferor to provide, such information, confirmations and documentation, as may be reasonably requested by the Company and its legal counsel, in order to confirm that an exemption from registration exists for the Transfer and will provide any required legal opinions to the Company and its transfer agent in connection therewith.

The undersigned Transferee acknowledges that the Company and its representatives (including its attorneys) will be relying (and authorizes the Company and its representatives (including its attorneys) to rely) upon the representations set forth above for all purposes, including in connection with the delivery of any required legal opinions.
