Article 4
Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares

​

Section 4.01 Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares. If the Corporation, at any time after the Issue Date but prior to the Expiration Time (or, if earlier, the exercise in full of this Warrant), (a) makes or declares a dividend or other distribution (in part or in full) on its outstanding Common Shares payable in Equity Interests of the Corporation, (b) subdivides (by any split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares, or (c) combines (by combination, reverse split or otherwise) its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares, then the remaining number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination shall be

proportionately adjusted so each Holder will thereafter receive upon exercise in full of this Warrant the aggregate number and kind of shares of Equity Interests of the Corporation that such Holder would have owned immediately following such action if this Warrant had been exercised in full immediately before the record date for such action. Any adjustment under this Section 4.01 shall become effective at the close of business on the record date of the dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination (or, if no record date is set (whether by action of the Corporation, through statute or otherwise), the date the dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination becomes effective). If any such event is announced or declared and the Warrant Shares are adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.01 but such event does not occur, the Warrant Shares shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board announces that such event shall not occur, to the number of Warrant Shares that would then be in effect if such event had not been declared. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant is adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.01, the Corporation shall provide the notice required by Section 6.01.

​

Section 4.02 Dissolution, Liquidation or Winding Up. If the Corporation, at any time after the Issue Date but prior to the Expiration Time (or, if earlier, the exercise in full of this Warrant), commences a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then (a) each Holder of this Warrant shall receive the kind and number of other securities or assets which such Holder would have been entitled to receive if such Holder had exercised in full this Warrant and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise immediately prior to the time of such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (b) the right to exercise this Warrant shall terminate on the date on which the holders of record of Common Shares shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities or assets deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

Section 4.03 Fundamental Transactions. If the Corporation, at any time after the Issue Date but prior to the Expiration Time (or, if earlier, the exercise in full of this Warrant), effects any Fundamental Transaction, then upon consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, this Warrant shall automatically become exercisable for the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets which each Holder of this Warrant would have owned immediately after such Fundamental Transaction if such Holder had exercised in full this Warrant immediately before the effective date of such Fundamental Transaction, assuming that such Holder failed to exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. With respect to any Fundamental Transaction that the Corporation has not publicly announced at least 15 days prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, (a) the Corporation will deliver to the Holders written notice of such Fundamental Transaction at least 15 days prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction (which written notice will be treated as confidential by the Holders), and (b) each Holder agrees not to exercise this Warrant (or any portion thereof) during the two Business Days immediately preceding the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. Concurrently with the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction, the Person formed by or surviving the Fundamental Transaction (if other than the Corporation), or if such Fundamental Transaction is a transfer of lease, the Person to which such transfer or lease shall have been made, shall, and the Corporation shall direct such Person to, enter into a supplemental agreement so providing and further providing for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for in this Article 4. If this ‎Section 4.03 applies to a transaction, Section 4.01 shall not apply.

​

Section 4.04 Exercise Price in the Event of an Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares. Upon any adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant pursuant to this Article 4, the Exercise Price per Warrant Share subject to issuance upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted concurrently thereto to equal the product of (a) $0.01 (or if the Exercise Price has been previously adjusted, then as such adjusted Exercise Price) times (b) a fraction, of which the numerator is the total number of Warrant Shares subject to issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant before giving effect to the adjustment, and the denominator is the total number of Warrant Shares subject to issuance upon the exercise of this Warrants as so adjusted.

Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, each Holder hereby acknowledges, with respect to itself, that the Corporation may possess material non-public information with respect to the Corporation and/or its securities not known to each Holder as of the date hereof or at a time when each Holder exercises its right to purchase Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant and that any such information may impact the value of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares. Each Holder with respect to itself irrevocably waives any claim, or potential claim, that it may have based on the failure of the Corporation or its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents or other representatives to disclose such information in connection with the execution and delivery of this Warrant or the purchase of Warrant Shares hereunder; provided, however, notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.08 or otherwise to the contrary, each Holder does not and shall not be deemed to have waived or otherwise compromised any rights or claims based upon or arising out of (i) the Corporation’s disclosure obligations under the federal securities laws with respect to any untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in any public statement or filing made by the Corporation pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (ii) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Corporation in this Warrant, the Loan Agreement or the Loan Agreement Amendment. Each Holder with respect to itself acknowledges that the Corporation would not enter into this Warrant in the absence of the agreements set forth in this Section 5.08.

Where appropriate, such notice may be given in advance. Such notice shall be delivered in accordance with Section 6.07 and shall state (a) the event giving rise to the adjustment, (b) the effective date of the adjustment and (c) the adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant and the adjusted Exercise Price pursuant to Article 4 hereof.

Except as permitted pursuant to the immediately foregoing sentence, any Transfer of this Warrant prior to the Restriction Lapse shall be void ab initio. From and after the Restriction Lapse, no Transfer restrictions shall apply hereunder.

​

Section 6.03 Holders Not Deemed Stockholders; Limitations on Liability. This Warrant does not confer upon any Holder any right to vote or receive dividends or confer upon the Holders any of the rights of stockholders of the Corporation. Each Holder acknowledges that the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation stipulates that, subject to the exceptions and the constructive ownership rules described therein, no person may own, or be deemed to own, in excess of (i) 9.99% in value of the outstanding shares of all classes or series of the Corporation’s capital stock or (ii) 9.99% in value or number (whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding shares of any class of the Corporation’s Common Shares, or such other percentage determined by the Corporation’s Board in accordance with the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation.

​

Section 6.04 Agreement to Comply with the Securities Act; Legend. Each Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 6.04 and the restrictive legend requirements set forth on the face of this Warrant and further agrees that such Holder shall not offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except, in the case of any Warrant Shares, under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act. All Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction. These securities may not be sold or offered for sale, pledged or hypothecated except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration thereunder, in each case in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions, and in the case of a transaction exempt from registration, such securities may only be transferred if the transfer agent for such securities has received documentation reasonably satisfactory to it that such transaction does not require registration under the Securities Act.”

​

Section 6.05 Warrant Register. The Corporation shall keep and properly maintain at its principal executive offices books for the registration of this Warrant and any exercises thereof (the “Warrant Register”).

​

Section 6.06 Other Cooperation.

If any such approval, authorization, termination or clearance is required to permit the Holders to purchase any Warrant Shares for which an Exercise Certificate has been delivered to the Corporation but has not been obtained by the Expiration Time, the Expiration Time shall be deemed

to be extended until such approval, authorization or clearance has been obtained, or termination or expiration of any applicable waiting period has occurred.

​
