HISTOGENICS CORPORATION

Warrant No. CS-1


Effective Date:		July 19, 2006
Expiration Date:		May 11, 2010

WHEREAS, On May 12, 2005, HISTOGENICS CORPORATION, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Massachusetts, with principal offices at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Massachusetts Corporation”) issued to ANGIODEVICE INTERNATIONAL GmbH, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Switzerland, with principal offices at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇-▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (“Angiotech International”), a warrant to purchase **** shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Original Warrant”).

WHEREAS, the Original Warrant was issued pursuant to the License Agreement between the Massachusetts Corporation and the Holder dated as of May 12, 2005 (the “License Agreement”).

WHEREAS, the License Agreement and the Original Warrant provide that upon the sale of **** of equity securities by the Massachusetts Corporation (the “Financing”), the Original Warrant would be cancelled and replaced with a new warrant of like tenor the right to purchase such additional number of shares of Common Stock, calculated pursuant to the Original Warrant and the License Agreement.

WHEREAS, in connection with the Financing, the Massachusetts Corporation reincorporated as a Delaware corporation by merging (the “Merger”) the Massachusetts Corporation into a wholly owned Delaware subsidiary, with such subsidiary surviving the Merger (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger the Company is the successor of the Massachusetts Corporation under the License Agreement and is therefore issuing this new restated Warrant contemplated by the Original Warrant and the License Agreement.

****CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

WHEREAS, the Financing has occurred and therefore this Warrant amends and restates the Original Warrant in its entirety.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

This certifies that Angiotech International, or its transferees or assigns (collectively, the “Holder”) for the agreed upon value of and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, shall be entitled to purchase from the Company, **** fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) for cash at a price of **** per share (the “Exercise Price”) at any time, or from time to time, up to and including 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Expiration Date, upon the surrender to the Company at its principal place of business (or at such other location as the Company may advise the Holder in writing) of this Warrant properly endorsed, a Subscription Form in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly filled in and signed and, as applicable, upon payment in cash or by check of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised determined in accordance with the provisions hereof, or the surrender of the right to acquire the number of shares of Common Stock determined in accordance with Section 1.2. The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 of this Warrant.

This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

1. EXERCISE; ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES; PAYMENT FOR SHARES.

1.1 General. This Warrant is exercisable at the option of the holder of record hereof at any time, or from time to time, up to the Expiration Date for all or any part of the shares of Common Stock (but not for a fraction of a share), which may be purchased hereunder. The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased under this Warrant shall be and are deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant, properly endorsed, the completed and executed Form of Subscription and appropriate payment for such shares shall have each been delivered to the Company at its principal place of business. Certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased, together with any other securities or property to which the Holder is entitled upon such exercise, shall be delivered to the Holder by the Company at the Company’s expense within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant have been so exercised, and in any event, within five (5) business days of such exercise. In case of a purchase of less than all the shares which may be purchased under this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant and execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor for the balance of the shares purchasable under the Warrant surrendered upon such purchase to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time. Each stock certificate so delivered shall be in such denominations of Common Stock as may be requested by the Holder hereof.

1.2 Net Issue Election. The Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this

Common Stock Warrant

****CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion to the Company, with the net issue election notice annexed hereto duly executed, at the office of the Company. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is computed using the following formula:

X = Y (A-B)

where


X	=	the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 1.2.

Y	=	the number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant in respect of which the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 1.2.

A	=	the fair market value of one share of Common Stock, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, as at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 1.2, which determination shall be final and binding on the Holder.

B	=	the Exercise Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 1.2.

The Board of Directors shall promptly respond in writing to an inquiry by the Holder as to the fair market value of one share of Common Stock.

2. SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID; RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the proper exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive rights of any shareholder and free of all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that, during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock, or other securities and property, when and as required to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under Federal or State securities laws with respect to such exercise. The Company will not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Exercise Price (as set forth in Section 3 hereof) if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon exercise of all outstanding warrants, together with all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of

Common Stock Warrant

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

all options and upon the conversion of all convertible securities and other equity purchase rights then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company’s Articles/Certificate of Incorporation (the “Company Charter”).

3. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. The Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 3. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

3.1 Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In case the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares (by reverse stock split or otherwise), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

3.2 Dividends in Common Stock, Other Stock, Property, Reclassification. If at any time or from time to time the Holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefor,

(a) Common Stock or any shares of stock or other securities which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution,

(b) any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend, or

(c) Common Stock or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement, (other than shares of Common Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 3.1 above),

then, and in each such case, the Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clause (b) above and this clause (c)) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had he been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and property.

3.3 Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any recapitalization or reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or other

Common Stock Warrant

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

transaction shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or other assets or property (an “Organic Change”), then, as a condition of such Organic Change, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant) such shares of stock, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. In the event of any Organic Change, appropriate provision shall be made by the Company with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number of shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.

3.4 Certain Events. If any change in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company or any other event occurs as to which the other provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder of the Warrant in accordance with such provisions, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall make an adjustment in the number and class of shares available under the Warrant, the Exercise Price or the application of such provisions, so as to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid. The adjustment shall be such as will give the Holder of the Warrant upon exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price the total number, class and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment.

3.5 Notices of Change.

(a) Upon any adjustment in the number or class of shares subject to this Warrant and/or of the Exercise Price, the Company shall give reasonable written notice thereof to the Holder, setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.

(b) The Company shall give written notice to the Holder at least 10 business days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record for determining rights to receive any dividends or distributions.

(c) The Company shall also give written notice to the Holder at least 10 business days prior to the date on which an Organic Change shall take place.

4. ISSUE TAX. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder of the Warrant for any issue tax (other than any applicable income taxes) in respect thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder of the Warrant being exercised.

Common Stock Warrant

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

5. CLOSING OF BOOKS. The Company will not unreasonably close its transfer books in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

6. NO VOTING OR DIVIDEND RIGHTS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder hereof the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder of the Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company. No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable hereunder until, and only to the extent that this Warrant shall have been exercised. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by its creditors.

7. WARRANTS NOT TRANSFERABLE. This Warrant is not transferable, in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the Company, except as otherwise specifically provided for herein.

8. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Holder has the right to cause the Company to register the Common Stock issued upon exercise hereof, under the Securities Act and any blue sky or securities laws of any jurisdictions within the United States at the time and in the manner specified in this Section 8.

8.1 Registrable Securities. As used herein the term “Registrable Security” means the shares of Common Stock, and any shares issued upon any stock split or stock dividend in respect of such shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that with respect to any particular Registrable Security, such security shall cease to be a Registrable Security when, as of the date of determination, (i) it has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of pursuant thereto, (ii) registration under the Securities Act is no longer required for subsequent public distribution of such security under Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act or otherwise, or (iii) it is no longer held by the Holder. The term “Registrable Securities” means any and/or all of the securities falling within the foregoing definition of a “Registrable Security.” In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock, such adjustment shall be made in the definition of “Registrable Security” as is appropriate in order to prevent any dilution or enlargement of the rights granted pursuant to this Section 8.

8.2 Piggyback Registration. In the event that the Company proposes to prepare and file any new registration statement or post-effective amendments with the intent of issuing a public offering (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization) (for purposes of this Section 8, collectively, the “Registration Statement”), it will give written notice of its intention to do so by certified mail, return receipt requested (“Notice”), at least thirty (30) business days prior to the filing of each such Registration Statement, to the Holder. Upon the written request of the Holder, made within twenty (20) business days after receipt by the Holder of the Notice, that the Company include any of the Holder’s Registrable Securities in the proposed Registration Statement, the

Common Stock Warrant

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities which it has been so requested to register (“Piggyback Registration”), at the Company’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to (except as provided in Section 8.3(a) hereof). If the Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement thereafter filed by the Company, the Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Common Stock in any subsequent Registration Statement or Registration Statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

If a Registration Statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 8.2 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holder. In such event, the right of the Holder’s Common Stock to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be conditioned upon Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Holder’s Common Stock in the underwriting. If Holder proposes to distribute any Common Stock through such underwriting, Holder shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.2, the Company shall have the right at any time after it shall have given written notice pursuant to this Section 8.2 (irrespective of whether any written request for inclusion of Registrable Securities shall have already been made) to elect not to file any such proposed Registration Statement, or to withdraw the same after the filing but prior to the effective date thereof.

8.3 Covenants of the Company With Respect to Registration. The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

(a) The Company shall pay all costs, fees and expenses (other than underwriting fees, discounts and nonaccountable expense allowance applicable to the Registrable Securities and fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Holder) in connection with all Registration Statements including, without limitation, the Company’s legal and accounting fees, printing expenses, and blue sky fees and expenses.

(b) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to take all necessary action which may be required in qualifying or registering the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement for offering and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as are reasonably requested by the Holder.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold the Holder harmless against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities to which it may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”) by the Company: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,

Common Stock Warrant

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered by the Registration Statement; and the Company will reimburse the Holder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to it expressly for use in connection with such registration by the Holder.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party; and provided further, that if there is more than one indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall pay for the fees and expenses of one counsel for any and all indemnified parties to be mutually agreed upon by such indemnified parties, unless representation of an indemnified party by the counsel retained by the other indemnified parties would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified parties. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8.

(e) In the event that the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged

Common Stock Warrant

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person or entity that is not found to have been guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

9. FURTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

(a) Articles and Bylaws. The Company has made available to Holder true, complete and correct copies of the Company Charter and Bylaws, as amended, through the date hereof.

(b) Due Authority. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Warrant and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder, including the issuance to Holder of the right to acquire the shares of Common Stock, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and the Warrant is not inconsistent with the Company Charter or Bylaws and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(c) Consents and Approvals. No consent or approval of, giving of notice to, registration with, or taking of any other action in respect of any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency is required with respect to the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its obligations under this Warrant, except for any filing required by applicable federal and state securities laws, which filing will be effective by the time required thereby.

10. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE HOLDER.

This Warrant has been entered into by the Company in reliance upon the following representations and covenants of the Holder:

(a) Investment Purpose. The Warrant and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant will be acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Holder has no present intention of selling or engaging in any public distribution of the same except pursuant to a registration or exemption pursuant to the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇.

(b) Private Issue. The Holder understands (i) that the Warrant and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is not registered under the 1933 Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws on the ground that the issuance contemplated by this Warrant will be exempt from the registration and qualifications requirements thereof pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws, and (ii) that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on the representations set forth in this Section 10.

Common Stock Warrant

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

(c) Disposition of Holders Rights. In no event will the Holder make a disposition of the Warrant or the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant unless and until (i) the Company shall have approved of the proposed disposition, and (ii) if requested by the Company, it shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel (which counsel may either be inside or outside counsel to the Holder) satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect that (A) appropriate action necessary for compliance with the 1933 Act has been taken, or (B) an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act is available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions imposed upon the transferability of any of its rights to acquire Common Stock or the Common Stock issuable on the exercise of such rights do not apply to transfers from the beneficial owner of any of the aforementioned securities to its nominee or from such nominee to its beneficial owner, and shall terminate as to any particular share of Common Stock when (1) such security shall have been effectively registered under the 1933 Act and sold by the holder thereof in accordance with such registration or (2) such security shall have been sold without registration in compliance with Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, or (3) a letter shall have been issued to the Holder at its request by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission or a ruling shall have been issued to the Holder at its request by such Commission stating that no action shall be recommended by such staff or taken by such Commission, as the case may be, if such security is transferred without registration under the 1933 Act in accordance with the conditions set forth in such letter or ruling and such letter or ruling specifies that no subsequent restrictions on transfer are required. Whenever the restrictions imposed hereunder shall terminate, as hereinabove provided, the Holder or holder of a share of Common Stock then outstanding as to which such restrictions have terminated shall be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense to such holder, one or more new certificates for the Warrant or for such shares of Common Stock not bearing any restrictive legend.

(d) Financial Risk. The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment, and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment.

(e) Risk of No Registration. The Holder understands that if the Company does not register with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 12 of the 1933 Act, or file reports pursuant to Section 15(d), of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), or if a registration statement covering the securities under the 1933 Act is not in effect when it desires to sell (i) the Warrant, or (ii) the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, it may be required to hold such securities for an indefinite period. The Holder also understands that any sale of the Warrant or the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant which might be made by it in reliance upon Rule 144 under the 1933 Act may be made only in accordance with the terms and conditions of that Rule.

(f) Accredited Investor. Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the 1933 Act, as presently in effect.

11. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.
