The share certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be specified in the Exercise Notice or, if such notice does not specify denominations, shall be in the amount of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is being exercised, and shall be issued in the name of the Holder. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to have become a holder of record of such shares of Common Stock, as of the date the Exercise Notice and Exercise Price have been received by the Company. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights to purchase the remaining shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical in form to this Warrant or, at the election of the Company, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant, which shall then be returned to the Holder. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes (if any) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of any such share certificates and new Warrant.

1.2 Warrant Shares to Be Fully Paid and Non-assessable. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

1.3 No Fractional Shares or Units to Be Issued. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares upon exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a share would be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, except for the provisions of this Section 1.3, the Company will (a) if the fraction of a share otherwise issuable is equal to or less than one-half, round down and issue to the Holder only the largest whole number of shares to which the Holder is otherwise entitled, or (b) if the fraction of a share otherwise issuable is greater than one-half, round up and issue to the Holder one additional share in addition to the largest whole number of shares to which the Holder is otherwise entitled.

1.4 Legend. Each certificate for shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall bear the following legend, unless at the time of exercise such shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and qualified under applicable state securities laws:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel selected by the Holder of such certificate and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the securities represented thereby are no longer subject to restrictions on resale under the Securities Act.

1.5 Termination of Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, provided that the Company has provided the Holder with at lease fifteen (15) days prior written notice, this Warrant shall terminate and be of no further force or effect on the earliest to occur of the following occasions: (a) the closing of the issuance and sale of common stock in the Company’s first underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (b) the completion of a Corporate Transaction.

2.2 Expenses of Delivery of Warrants. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes (other than transfer taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of this Warrant and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof.

2.3 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) This Warrant and all rights hereunder are not transferable.

(b) Regardless of whether the offering and sale of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof have been registered under the Securities Act or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, the Company, at its discretion, may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on share certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of the Company, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state or any other law.

(c) The Holder hereby agrees that it will not, upon the request of the Company or of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180)

days or such longer period as may be required to comply with FINRA rules) (a) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of the Company’s Common Stock or other equity securities held immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement for such offering, or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Company’s Common Stock acquired through the exercise of this Warrant, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3(c) shall apply only to the Company’s initial public offering, shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement and shall only be applicable to the Holder if all officers and directors and greater than one percent (1%) stockholders of the Company enter into similar agreements. The underwriters in connection with the Company’s initial public offering are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 2.3(c) and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. The Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in the Company’s initial public offering that are consistent with this Section 2.3(c) that are necessary to give further effect thereto. To enforce the provisions of this Section 2.3(c), the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Warrant until the end of the applicable stand-off period.

(e) If the sale of shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder is not registered under the Securities Act, or qualified under applicable state securities laws, but an exemption is available which requires an investment representation or other representation, the Holder shall represent and agree at the time of exercise that the shares being acquired upon exercising this Warrant are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.

(f) Any determination by the Company and its counsel in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 2.3 shall be conclusive and binding on the Holder and all other persons.

2.4 Legality of Initial Issuance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant unless and until the Company has determined that:

(a) The Company and the Holder have taken all actions required to register the shares under the Securities Act or to perfect an exemption from the registration requirements thereof;

(b) Any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange or other securities market on which shares of Common Stock are listed has been satisfied; and

(c) Any other applicable provision of state or federal law has been satisfied.
