8. Transfer or Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Warrant, this Warrant (and all rights hereunder) may be transferred, in whole or in part, to an Affiliate (the “Transferee”) of the Holder. Such transfer shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the Company’s designated offices, together with a written assignment of this Warrant in form satisfactory to the Company and duly executed by the Holder. Upon such surrender and delivery for exchange of this Warrant, properly endorsed, to the Company, the Company will issue and deliver to, or on the order of, the Transferee a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of Transferee and in the 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, if any. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer thereof, the Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. All Warrants issued upon any valid assignment of this Warrant shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same rights and entitled to the same benefits as the this Warrant surrendered upon such registration of transfer.

9. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

10. Investment Intent and Representations.

(a) Unless a current registration statement under the Securities Act shall be in effect with respect to the issuance of the securities to be issued upon exercise or redemption of this Warrant, the holder thereof, by accepting this Warrant, covenants and agrees that, at the time of exercise or redemption hereof, and at the time of any proposed transfer of securities acquired upon exercise or redemption hereof, such holder will deliver to the Company a written statement that the securities acquired by the holder upon exercise or redemption hereof are for the own account of the holder for investment and are not acquired with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof (or any portion thereof) and with no present intention (at any such time) of offering and distributing such securities (or any person thereof).

(b) The Holder acknowledges that it currently has, and had immediately prior to its receipt of the offer of sale from the Company, such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment and further acknowledges that it is able to bear the economic risk of the investment in this Warrant. The Holder acknowledges that it had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, management of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this investment and to

obtain any additional information of the same kind that is specified in Rule 502 of Regulation D of the Securities Act or that is necessary to verify the accuracy of the other information obtained. The Holder acknowledge that they each have received such information as they deem necessary to enable them to make their investment decision. The Holder represents and warrants that it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act.

11. No Rights or Liability as a Stockholder. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder shall give rise to any liability of such Holder as a stockholder of the Company.

12. Notices. Any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Warrant to be given to the Holder shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Company, or given by electronic communication and shall be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.

13. Miscellaneous. The terms and provisions of this Warrant shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the Holder and their respective successors and assigns. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the Holder and the Company. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.
