If, at the end of the Exercise Period, the Holder has remaining Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant (excluding Warrant Shares that the Holder has delivered a duly executed Exercise Form pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) hereof) and the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price, then such Warrant Shares shall be automatically deemed to be exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined below) by the Holder immediately prior to the end of the Exercise Period. The Company will promptly thereafter issue to the Holder a stock certificate representing the Warrant Shares the Holder is entitled to at such time.
(a)
Exercise Procedure. This Warrant may be exercised from time to time on any Business Day during the Exercise Period, for all or any part of the unexercised Warrant Shares, upon:
(i)
surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction), together with an Exercise Form in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an “Exercise Form”), completed (including specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased) and duly executed; and
(ii)
payment to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 4(b).
(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 Form, by the following methods:
(i)
by delivery to the Company of a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price; or

In the event of any withholding of Warrant Shares or surrender of other equity securities pursuant to clause (ii) above where the number of shares whose value is equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price is not a whole number, the number of shares withheld by or surrendered to the Company shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) based on the incremental fraction of a share being so withheld by or surrendered to the Company in an amount equal to the product of (x) such incremental fraction of a share being so withheld or surrendered multiplied by (y) in the case of Common Stock, the Fair Market Value per Warrant Share as of the Exercise Date, and, in all other cases, the value thereof as of the Exercise Date determined in accordance with clause (y) above.
(c)
Issuance of Warrant Shares. Upon receipt by the Company of the Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof), the Company at its expense shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, cause to be issued via book-entry in the name of the Holder or as the Holder may direct, the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 4(d) hereof. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued via book-entry, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.
(d)
Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional Warrant Share upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) equal to the product of (i) such fraction multiplied by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share on the Exercise Date.
(e)
Delivery of New Warrant. Unless the purchase rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares being issued in accordance with Section 4(c) hereof, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unexpired and unexercised Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.
(f)
Valid Issuance of Warrant and Warrant Shares; Payment of Taxes. With respect to the exercise of this Warrant, the Company hereby represents, covenants and agrees:
(i)
This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.
(ii)
All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall 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 preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and free and clear of all taxes, liens and charges.
(iii)
The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such Warrant Shares are issued without violation by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares may be listed at the time of such exercise (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).
(iv)
The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Warrant Shares, immediately upon such exercise, to be listed on any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares are listed at the time of such exercise.
(v)
The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person other than the Holder, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Holder or the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(g)
Conditional Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), 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 consummation of such transaction.
(h)
Exercise Upon a Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Warrant shall be deemed exercised as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control by Cashless Exercise.
(i)
Reservation of Shares. No later than September 14, 2022, the Company shall file with the Commission a preliminary Information Statement in accordance with Regulation 14C promulgated under of the Exchange Act relating to the Shareholder Consent and the Amendment. The Company shall cause the information statement in definitive form to be mailed to the holders of the Company’s voting securities entitled to receive the same as promptly as reasonably practicable after (i) the tenth (10th) calendar day after the initial filing of the preliminary Information Statement with the Commission if by such date the Commission has not informed the
Company that it intends to review the Information Statement or (ii) if the Commission has, by the tenth (10th) calendar day after the filing of the initial preliminary Information Statement with the Commission, informed the Company that it intends to review the Information Statement, the date on which the Commission confirms that it has no further comments on the Information Statement. On the 21st calendar day after the Information Statement in definitive form is mailed to the holders of the Company’s voting securities entitled to receive the same, the Board shall cause the Amendment to be adopted (the “14C Completion Date”). During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep authorized, and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the par value per Warrant Share shall at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Exercise Price.

Prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares to which the Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or 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), receive notice of meetings or subscription rights, or otherwise.

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