​

​

​

​

​

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, in the event of a Change of Control, (i) at Company’s sole option unless (ii) the Change of Control results in the Company no longer having a class of securities registered under Section 12 or Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in which case such determination shall be made automatically, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant in exchange for a number of shares of Company’s securities, such number of securities being equal to the maximum number of securities issuable pursuant to the terms hereof (after taking into account all adjustments described herein) had the Holder elected to exercise this Warrant immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control and purchased all such shares pursuant to the cashless exercise provision set forth in Section 10(b) (as opposed to the cash exercise provision set forth in Section 10(a)).

5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.

​

(a) To effect exercises hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant unless the aggregate Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant are being exercised. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice (in the form attached hereto) to the Company (with the attached Warrant Shares Exercise Log) at its address for notice set forth herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than two Trading Days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue and deliver to the Holder, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise. A “Date of Exercise” means each of (A) the date of a Change of Control and (B) the date on which the Holder shall have delivered to the Company: (i) the Exercise Notice (with the Warrant Exercise Log attached to it), appropriately completed and duly signed and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased.

​

(b) If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

​

6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall

​

​

​

​

be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

​

7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

​

8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

​

9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

​

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the then-current Exercise Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

​

(b) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding there is a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental

​

​

​

​

​

Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof.

​

(c) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

​

(d) Calculations. All calculations under this Section shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

​

(e) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s Transfer Agent.

​

10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one of the following manners:

​

(a) Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately available funds; or

​

(b) Cashless Exercise. Solely pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:

​

X = Y [(A-B)/A]

​

where:

​

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

​

Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.

​

A = the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.

​

B = the Exercise Price.

​

11. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would, otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Closing Price of one Warrant Share on the date of exercise.

​

12. 19.999% Blocker. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates (as defined under Rule 144, “Affiliates”) and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, does not exceed 19.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such

​

​

​

​

​

exercise). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the number of securities or amount of other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 9 of this Warrant. This restriction may not be waived without shareholder approval.

​

13. Representations, Warranties & Covenants of the Holder. The Holder, by acquiring this Warrant, hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company as follows:

​

(a) Investment Representations. In connection with the issuance of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares, the Holder makes the following representations and covenants:

​

(i) Investment for Own Account. The Holder is acquiring the Warrant and the Warrant Shares for its own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Holder does not agree to hold any of the Warrants or Warrant Shares for any minimum or specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

​

(ii) Transfer Restrictions, Legends. The Holder understands that (i) the Warrant and Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act; (ii) the Warrant and Warrant Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, based in part upon the Company’s reliance upon the statements and representations made by the Holder in this Warrant, and that the Warrant and Warrant Shares must be held by the Holder indefinitely, and that the Holder must, therefore, bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration; (iii) each certificate representing the Warrant and Warrant Shares will be endorsed with the following legend until the earlier of (1) such date as the Warrant or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, have been registered for resale by the Holder or (2) the date the Warrant or the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, are eligible for sale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act without limitations:

​

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

​

(iv) the Company will instruct any transfer agent not to register the transfer of the Warrant or Warrant Shares (or any portion thereof) until the applicable date set forth in clause (iii) above unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legends are satisfied or,

​

​

​

​

​

if the opinion of counsel referred to above is to the further effect that such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act or this Warrant, or other satisfactory assurances of such nature are given to the Company.

​

The Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Warrants or Warrant Shares as set forth in this Section is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell any securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

​

(iii) Financial Sophistication; Due Diligence. The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Warrant. The Holder has, in connection with its decision to purchase the Warrant, relied only upon the representations and warranties contained herein and the information contained in the reports, registration statements and definitive proxy statements filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” and the documents, the “Company SEC Documents”). Further, the Holder has had such opportunity to obtain additional information and to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company, concerning the terms and conditions of the investment and the business and affairs of the Company, as the Holder considers necessary in order to form an investment decision.

​

(iv) Accredited Investor Status. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act.

​

(v) Residency. The Holder is organized under the laws of Delaware and its principal place of operations (if applicable) is in the state of New York.

​

(vi) General Solicitation. The Holder is not purchasing the Warrant or Warrant Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Warrant or Warrant Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over the television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement. Prior to the time that Holder was first contacted by the Company the Holder had a pre-existing and substantial relationship with

the Company.

​

(vii) Foreign Investors. If Holder is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code), Holder hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with the receipt of Warrant Shares upon vesting of the Warrant and the receipt of the Warrant, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the receipt of the Warrant and Warrant Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such receipt, (iii) any government or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the acquisition, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Warrant and Warrant Shares. Holder’s beneficial ownership of the Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Holder’s jurisdiction

​

(b) Authority. Holder has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Warrant and to carry out its provisions. All action on Holder’s part required for the lawful execution and delivery of this Warrant has been taken. This Warrant, when executed and delivered by the Holder, shall constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Holder

​

​

​

​

​

enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights.

​

(c) No Investment, Tax or Legal Advice. The Holder understands that nothing in the Company SEC Documents, the Shaq Agreement, this Warrant, or any other materials presented to the Holder in connection with the purchase and sale of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Holder has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Warrant and Warrant Shares.

​

(d) Additional Acknowledgement. The Holder acknowledges that it has independently evaluated the merits of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant and the Shaq Agreement, that it has independently determined to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby, that it is not relying on any advice from or evaluation by any other person.

​

(e) Limited Ownership. The purchase of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares will not result in the Holder (individually or together with any other person or entity with whom the Holder has identified, or will have identified, itself as part of a “group” in a public filing made with the SEC involving the Company’s securities) acquiring, or obtaining the right to acquire, in excess of 19.999% of the outstanding shares of common stock or voting power of the Company on a post-transaction basis that assumes the Warrant and the Warrant Shares have been issued.

​

(f) No Short Position. As of the date hereof, the Holder acknowledges and agrees that it has not engaged in any short sale regarding the Company’s voting stock or any other type of hedging transaction involving the Company’s securities (including, without limitation, depositing shares of the Company’s securities with a brokerage firm where such securities are made available by the broker to other customers of the firm for purposes of hedging or short selling the Company’s securities).

​

14. Limitation on Transfer.

​

(a) “Restricted Securities” means the Warrants, the Warrant Shares and any other shares of capital stock of the Company issued in respect of such Warrant Shares (as a result of stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations or similar events) or securities issued in respect of such Warrants; provided, however, that securities that are Restricted Securities shall cease to be Restricted Securities upon any sale pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 or another exemption available under the Securities Act. In no event may the Restricted Securities be sold or transferred unless either (A) they first shall have been registered under the Securities Act or (B) the Company shall have been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

​

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, (1) the Holder shall not sell, transfer, assign, donate, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Securities until at least 183 days following the date such shares vest, and (2) the Holder shall not at any time, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Restricted Securities when the Holder is in possession of material non-public information about the Company.

​

(c) Any certificate representing Restricted Securities shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:

​

The securities represented hereby are subject to a restriction on transfer contained in a Warrant dated as of September 7, 2022. A copy of the agreement is available at the Company’s principal executive offices.

​

​

​

​

​

(d) The Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Company, in its discretion, may cause stop transfer orders to be placed with its transfer agent with respect to the Restricted Securities in order to facilitate the transfer restrictions referred to in this Section. The Company shall remove the legend from the certificates representing any Restricted Securities at the request of the holder thereof at such time as they are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in compliance with this Section.

​

(e) The Holder shall engage, directly or indirectly, in any short sales with respect to the Common Stock of the Company until September 7, 2023.

​

15. Omitted.

​

16. Notices.

Address for such notice will be provided by each party to the other under separate cover.

​

17. Miscellaneous.

​

(a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

​

(e) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.

​

(f) Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall not, by reason of being a

Holder, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder with respect to the Warrant Shares.
