Unless the purchase rights represented by this Warrant are being exercised on a cashless basis in accordance withSection 2(c), within three Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the Aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank (such date of delivery of the Aggregate Exercise Price, the “Exercise Date”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and this Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall inform the Holder if a Notice of Exercise has not been duly completed within one Business Day of receipt of such notice, but shall not refuse or object to the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon receipt of, and pursuant to, a duly completed Notice of Exercise.The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $27.00, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

c) Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise of this Warrant there is no effective registration statement registering the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, the Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by means of a

“cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing[(Y)*(A-B)] by (A), where:

(A) =

the average of the Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Cashless Exercise Date”);

(B) =

the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder in effect of the Cashless Exercise Date; and

(Y) =

the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise pursuant toSection 2(a) rather than a cashless exercise.

d) Mechanics of Exercise.

i. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to the Holder by, at the Holder’s option, (A) crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) physical delivery of a certificate (or certificates, as applicable) for the applicable number of Warrant Shares to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three Trading Days after the latest of (1) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (2) surrender of this Warrant (if required), (3) payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above and (4) three Trading Days following the Cashless Exercise Date, if applicable (such date in (1), (2), (3) or (4), the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). The applicable Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, 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 shares for all purposes, as of the applicable Exercise Date or the date that is three Trading Days following the Cashless Exercise Date, as applicable.

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of the Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant toSection 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder shall have the right to rescind such exercise. Any rescission by the Holder pursuant to thisSection 2(d)(iii)shall not affect any other remedies available to the Holder under applicable law or equity as a result of the Company’s failure to timely deliver the Warrant Shares.

iv. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at the Holder’s election, either (A) 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 (1) such fraction multiplied by (2) the Closing Bid Price of one Warrant Share on the Exercise Date or the Cashless Exercise Date, as applicable, or (B) round up to the next whole share.

v. Closing of Books. The Company shall not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof.

e) Conditional Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may, at the election of the Holder (set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise), 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.

f) Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby represents, covenants and agrees, as applicable:

i. The Company (A) is a corporation duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California, and has the requisite power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted and (B) is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary.

ii. The issuance of this Warrant and any Warrant in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant (including pursuant to

Assuming in part the accuracy of each of the representations and warranties of the Holder set forth inSection 2(g) of this Warrant, the offer and issuance by the Company of this Warrant is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act.

iii. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Warrant and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby does not and will not (A) result in a violation of the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws, (B) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) in any respect under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or result in the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (C) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including foreign, federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of the Trading Market and applicable laws of the State of California and any foreign, federal, and other state laws) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected.

iv. The Company covenants that, during the period this Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights represented by this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided

herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed or any preemptive or similar rights of any equity holder of the Company. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, Liens and charges (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

v. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, through an amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (A) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (B) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (C) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

vi. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

g) Representations and Warranties of the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act.

Section 3.Certain Adjustments. In order to prevent dilution of the purchase rights granted under this Warrant, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in thisSection 3 (in each case, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to thisSection 3).

a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to (A) the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or (B) the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination orre-classification by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the Aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to thisSection 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination orre-classification.

b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board in good faith) at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

c) Issuance Less Than Fair Market Value.

i. Except as provided inSection 3(e) and except in the case of an event described in eitherSection 3(a) orSection 3(b), if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Initial Issuance Date, issue or sell any shares of Common Stock without consideration or for consideration per share less than the VWAP immediately prior to such

issuance or sale , then immediately upon such issuance or sale, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale shall be reduced (and in no event increased) to an Exercise Price equal to a product obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, by a fraction (which shall in no event be more than one):

(1) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the product obtained bymultiplyingthe Common Stock deemed outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale by the VWAP immediately prior to such issuance or saleplus(B) the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issuance or sale; and

(2) the denominator of which shall be the product obtained by multiplying (A) the Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale by (B) the VWAP immediately prior to such issuance or sale.

ii. Upon any and each adjustment of the Exercise Price as provided inSection 3(c)(i), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment shall be increased to a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

(1) the product of (x) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such adjustmentmultiplied by (y) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment; by

(2) the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

d) Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of thisSection 3 but not expressly provided for by such provisions occurs, then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the provisions of thisSection 3;provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to thisSection 3(d) shall increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to thisSection 3.

e) Excluded Issuance. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, there shall be no adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to any Excluded Issuance.

f) Calculations. All calculations under thisSection 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of thisSection 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

g) Notice to the Holder.

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of thisSection 3, the Company shall promptly compute such adjustment, in good faith, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including (A) 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), (B) in the case of adjustment pursuant toSection 3(b), a statement of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock, and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and certifying the calculation thereof and (C) in the case of adjustment pursuant toSection 3(c), a statement of the material terms of the issuance of Common Stock, including (w) the per share consideration of such issuance, (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for such issuance, (y) the date of such issuance and (z) the VWAP immediately prior to such issuance. The Company will deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder as promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Exercise Price, but in any event not later than ten Business Days thereafter.

ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by the Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights of the Company, (D) the Company enters into or becomes bound by an agreement in connection with a Change of Control or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register (as defined below) of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such Change of Control is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such Change of Control; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this

Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

h) In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision,split-up or combination of shares), (iii) Change of Control or (iv) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered bySection 3(a) orSection 3(b)) in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each Warrant that is not exercised prior to such event shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, Change of Control or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Shares then exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, Change of Control or similar transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, Change of Control or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to insure that the provisions of thisSection 3 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant (including, in the case of any Change of Control or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing Person is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment in the Exercise Price to the value per share for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Change of Control or similar transaction, and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Change of Control or similar transaction). The

provisions of thisSection 3(h) shall similarly apply to successive Change of Control or similar transactions. Prior to the consummation thereof, (A) the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such Change of Control or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant.

Section 4.Transfer of Warrant.

a) Transferability. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. This Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in any of the existing agreements or any other arrangements involving the Company and the Holder or any of their respective Affiliates (contractual or otherwise) shall be construed as limiting the Holder’s or any of its Affiliates’ or assigns’ ability to transfer or exercise this Warrant or transfer any of the Warrant Shares.

b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance withSection 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Initial Issuance Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

Section 5.Miscellaneous.

a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. Except as provided inSection 3, this Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth inSection 2(d).

b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of this Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company shall make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein is not a Business Day, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

d) Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

i. Governing Law. This Warrant and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Warrant and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of California without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of California.

ii. Jurisdiction. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any other party hereto in any way relating to this Warrant or the transactions relating hereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of California sitting in California in Los Angeles County, and of the United States District Court of the Central District of California, and any appellate court from any thereof; and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such California State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

iii. Waiver of Venue. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (ii) of thisSection 5. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

iv. Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices inSection 5(f).

e) Waiver of Jury Trial.

g) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

h) Remedies. Each of the Holder, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to the other party hereto would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Warrant were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that such injury would not be adequately compensable by the remedies available at law (including the payment of money damages). It is accordingly agreed that the Holder, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand (in each case, the “Moving Party”), shall each be entitled to specific enforcement of, and injunctive relief to prevent any violation of, the terms hereof, and the other party hereto will not take action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to the Moving Party seeking such relief on the grounds that any other remedy or relief is available at law or in equity. ThisSection 5(g) is not the exclusive remedy for any violation of this Warrant.

i) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective the successors, heirs and permitted assigns. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of the Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, that in the event that any Person acquires this Warrant or any Warrant Shares, such Person shall, without any further writing or action of any kind, be deemed a beneficiary hereof for all purposes and by taking and holding such Warrant or Warrant Shares, as applicable, such Person shall be treated as a “Holder” for all purposes under this Warrant and shall be entitled to receive the benefits of, and be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by all of the applicable terms and provisions of, this Warrant.

j) No Third Party Beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary, this Warrant is intended solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

k) Entire Agreement. This Warrant supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous negotiations, writings and understandings between the Holder, the Company, their Affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Warrant and the instruments referenced herein constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties hereto with regard to the matters covered herein and therein, and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor the Holder makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to any such matters.

l) Amendments and Waivers. Provisions of this Warrant may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only if such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Holder, and, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with thisSection 5(k) shall be binding upon the Holder (and each future Holder) and the Company.

m) Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party;provided that a facsimile or .pdf format signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile or .pdf signature.

n) Severability. If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the

validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties hereto will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

o) Headings; Interpretation. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant. When a reference is made in this Warrant to a Section, Schedule or Annex, such reference shall be to a Section, Schedule or Annex of this Warrant unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Warrant, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein,” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Warrant as a whole (including all of the Schedules and Annexes) and not to any particular provision of this Warrant. Unless otherwise specified in this Warrant, the term “dollars” and the symbol “$” mean U.S. dollars for purposes of this Warrant and all amounts in this Warrant shall be paid in U.S. dollars. The definitions contained in this Warrant are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any agreement, instrument or statute, rule or regulation defined or referred to in this Warrant means such agreement, instrument or statute, rule or regulation as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes. Any reference to any section under the 1933 Act, or any rule promulgated thereunder, shall include any publicly available interpretive releases, policy statements, staff accounting bulletins, staff accounting manuals, staff legal bulletins, staff“no-action,” interpretive and exemptive letters, and staff compliance and disclosure interpretations (including “telephone interpretations”) of such section or rule by the Commission. Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Warrant. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Warrant shall be construed as if it were drafted by each of the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Warrant.

p) Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Warrant and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
