This Option will be exercisable from time to time, in whole or in part, from and after the date hereof up to and including 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on June 30, 2019 (the “Expiration Time”) but only as and when the holder exercises the Option to purchase shares of Class A common stock for a per share purchase price of $1.00 per share (the “Option Shares”) and then only for a number of Warrants equal to or less than the number of Option Shares purchased. To exercise this Warrant Option the holder shall deliver to the Company of (i) the Form of Exercise Notice attached as Appendix A duly completed and executed, (ii) payment of the aggregate Warrant Purchase Price for the number of Warrants for which this Option is being exercised.

(a) Exercise. Subject to the other provisions of this instrument, this Option is exercisable at the option of the Holder, at any time or from time to time up to the Expiration Time for all or any part of the Warrants but may not be exercised to acquire more Warrants than the number of Option Shares acquired by the holder. The Holder will be treated as the record owner of Warrants as of the close of business on the date on which (i) the completed, executed form of Exercise Notice is delivered, and (ii) payment is made for the Warrants.

 

(b) Delivery. Upon exercise of this Option, the Company will promptly after exercise, issue and deliver a Warrant to the Holder.

4. No Voting or Dividend Rights.

No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of this Option or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable hereunder until, and only to the extent that, this Option or the underlying Warrant is exercised.

9. Successors and Assigns. This Option may not be assigned or transferred without the consent of the Company. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Option and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder.

 

10. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Option shall be interpreted to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Option shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, the provision shall be ineffective to the extent of the prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of the provisions or the remaining provisions of this Option.

 

11. Notices. Upon any adjustment of the underlying Warrants, the Company shall give notice to the Holder.
