Article II
FORM OF WARRANT; BENEFICIAL INTERESTS
Section 2.01 Issuance and Registration.
(a) Warrants.
(i) The Warrants shall initially be issued to the registered holders of shares of Common Stock as of the Distribution Record Date, as reflected in the Company’s direct registration system for the Common Stock, one Warrant for each ten shares of Common Stock held by such registered holder as of the Distribution Record Date;
(ii) The Warrant Agent shall allocate the Warrants to, and register the Warrants in the names of, such registered holders in accordance with the Company’s direct registration system or the Warrant Agent’s other book-entry procedures pursuant to an allocation schedule provided by the Company. Any Warrants registered through the Company’s direct registration system or the Warrant Agent’s other book-entry procedures shall be issued in uncertificated form and shall not be represented by Warrant Certificates.
6

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, some or all of the Warrants may, at initial issuance or any time thereafter, be represented by one or more permanent Global Warrants, in definitive, fully registered form with the global securities legend set forth in Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Global Warrant”). Any such Global Warrant shall be deposited on behalf of the relevant Holders with the Warrant Agent, as custodian for the Depositary (or with such other custodian as the Depositary may direct), registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, and duly executed by the Company and countersigned by the Warrant Agent as hereinafter provided.
(b) Definitive Warrants. Holders of Warrants or holders of beneficial interests in any Global Warrant will not be entitled to physical delivery of Definitive Warrants (except as provided in Section 2.05).
(c) Procedures for Global Warrants. This Section 2.01(c) shall apply only to any Global Warrant deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary.
(i) If any Warrants are to be represented by a Global Warrant, the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall, in accordance with Section 2.02, countersign and deliver initially one or more Global Warrants that (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Warrant or Global Warrants or of the nominee of the Depositary and (b) shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions or held by the Warrant Agent as custodian for the Depositary. No Global Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, until such Global Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual, facsimile or electronic signature of the Warrant Agent. Such signature by the Warrant Agent upon any Global Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that such Global Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been duly issued hereunder.
(ii) Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Agreement with respect to any Global Warrant held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Warrant Agent as the custodian of the Depositary or under such Global Warrant, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Warrant Agent and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent as the absolute owner of such Global Warrant for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Warrant Agent or any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary, or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Warrant.
(d) No Fractional Warrants. The Company shall not issue fractional Warrants or distribute Warrant Certificates which evidence fractional Warrants. If any fractional Warrant would otherwise be required to be issued or distributed pursuant to the Warrant Distribution, the Company or Warrant Agent, as applicable, to the extent reasonably practicable, shall first aggregate the total number of Warrants to be issued to the relevant holder of Common Stock and then round down the total number to the nearest Whole Number and no cash or other adjustment will be made in lieu of the fraction of a Warrant so rounded down.
7

Section 2.02 Warrant Certificates. If any Warrant Certificates are issued hereunder, then at least one Officer shall sign such Warrant Certificates for the Company by manual, facsimile or portable document format (“PDF”) signature or by means of other electronic transmission.
(a) If an Officer whose signature is on a Warrant Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Warrant Agent countersigns the Warrant Certificate, the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate shall be valid, nevertheless.
(b) At any time and from time to time after the execution of this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company, countersign, either by manual, facsimile, PDF signature or by means of other electronic transmission, and issue a Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants specified in such order. Such order shall specify the number of Warrants to be evidenced on the Warrant Certificate to be countersigned, the date on which such Warrant Certificate is to be countersigned, whether such Warrant Certificate is to be a Global Warrant or a Definitive Warrant, and the number of Warrants then authorized. Each Warrant shall be dated the date of its countersignature.
(c) The Warrants (whether or not evidenced by a Warrant Certificate) shall not be valid until registered on the Warrant Register.
Section 2.03 Warrant Register. The Warrants shall be issued in registered form only. Upon the receipt of all relevant information from the Company or its agents, the Warrant Agent shall keep a register (the “Warrant Register”) of the Warrants (and Warrant Certificates, if applicable) and of their transfer and exchange. The Warrant Register shall show the names and addresses of the respective Holders and the date and number of Warrants owned by such Holders (as evidenced on the face of each of the Warrant Certificates, if applicable). The Holder of any Global Warrant will be the Depositary or a nominee in whose name the Global Warrant is registered. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of the Warrants, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed on the Holder in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer. The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation to effect an exchange or register a transfer unless and until any payments required by the immediately preceding sentence have been made.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer or exchange of any Warrant in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name Warrants are registered in the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of such Warrants (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing made in a Global Warrant Certificate by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, for the purpose of any distribution to the Person in whose name Warrants are registered in the Warrant Register thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
8

Section 2.04 Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Transfer and Exchange of Warrants.
(i) The transfer and exchange of Warrants or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Company’s direct registration system or the Warrant Agent’s other book-entry procedures and, in the case of any Global Warrants, the Depositary, in each case in accordance with this Agreement and the procedures of the Warrant Agent and, as applicable, the Depositary therefor. The Company may instruct the Warrant Agent from time to time that Warrants held by a member of the Board of Directors, an Officer of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company are subject to restrictions on transfers or exchanges related to compliance with applicable securities laws, in which case the Warrant Agent shall not permit the transfer or exchange of such Warrants without the consent of the Company.
(ii) Except as set forth in Section 2.04(a)(iii), a Global Warrant may only be transferred as a whole, and not in part, and only by (x) the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, (y) a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or (z) the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or its nominee.
(iii) In the event that a Global Warrant is exchanged and transferred for Definitive Warrants pursuant to Section 2.05, such Warrants may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.04 and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.
(iv) The Warrant Agent may register the transfer of any Definitive Warrant upon written request of the Holder delivered to the Warrant Agent and surrender of the Warrant Certificates to be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged, together with the form of assignment and certificate duly executed and properly completed and such other documentation that the Company or the Warrant Agent may reasonably request, at the office of the Warrant Agent designated for such purpose. Any requested transfer of Warrants shall be accompanied by reasonable evidence of authority of the party making such request, which evidence shall include a signature guarantee from an eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association. Upon any such transfer, one or more new Definitive Warrants representing an equal aggregate number of Definitive Warrants shall be issued and the transferred certificate shall be canceled.
(b) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Warrant. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Warrant have been exchanged for Definitive Warrants, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Warrant shall be returned to the Depositary for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Warrant Agent. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Warrant is exchanged for Definitive Warrants, repurchased or canceled, the number of Warrants represented by such Global Warrant shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Warrant Agent (if it is then the Warrant Custodian for such Global Warrant) with respect to such Global Warrant, by the Warrant Agent, to reflect such reduction.
9

(c) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Warrants.
(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, by either manual, facsimile or PDF signature or by means of other electronic transmission, any Global Warrants and Definitive Warrants, if applicable, as required subject to the provisions of Section 2.02 and this Section 2.04.
(ii) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange. Any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange shall be paid by the Holder.
(iii) The Company may require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, split up, combination or exchange of Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Agreement or any Warrant that requires the payment of taxes and/or charges unless and until the Warrant Agent is reasonably satisfied that all such payments have been made.
(iv) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name Warrants are registered as the absolute owner of such Warrants, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
(v) All Warrants issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Warrants surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.
(d) No Obligation of the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Warrant, an Agent Member or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Warrants or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice, or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Warrants. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Warrants shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Warrant). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Warrant shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable and may rely on and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.
10

Section 2.05 Definitive Warrants.
(a) Subject to Section 2.05(e), beneficial interests in a Global Warrant deposited with the Depositary or with the Warrant Agent as custodian shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Warrants in a number equal to the number of Warrants represented by such Global Warrant, in exchange for such Global Warrant, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.04 and (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Warrant or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and, in each such case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, or (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Warrant Agent in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Warrants under this Agreement. In such event, the transfer, exchange or exercise of the Warrants shall be conducted in accordance with the customary procedures of the Warrant Agent.
(b) Any Global Warrant that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Warrant Agent, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, by either manual, facsimile or PDF signature or by means of other electronic transmission, and deliver to each beneficial owner in the name of such beneficial owner, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Warrant, Definitive Warrants evidencing a number of Warrants equivalent to such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest in the Global Warrant. The Warrant Agent shall register such transfer in the Warrant Register, and upon such transfer the surrendered Global Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. Any such Definitive Warrants shall bear such restrictive legends as the Company may instruct. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of the Warrants, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed on the Holder in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer. The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation to effect an exchange or register a transfer unless and until any payments required by the immediately preceding sentence have been made.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(b), the registered Holder of a Global Warrant may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Agreement or the Warrants.
(d) In the event of the occurrence of either of the events specified in Section 2.05(a), the Company shall promptly make available to the Warrant Agent a reasonable supply of Definitive Warrants in definitive, fully registered form.
(e) The Depositary shall notify the Warrant Agent of the names and the amounts in which the Definitive Warrants shall be issued. Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent will be liable or responsible for any names or any amounts provided by the Depositary.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of issuing a Definitive Warrant to any Person, the Warrant Agent may, upon the Company’s instruction, register Warrants in the name of such Person through the Company’s direct registration system or the Warrant Agent’s other book-entry procedures.
11

Section 2.06 Replacement Certificates. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Warrant Certificate, which evidence shall include an affidavit of loss, or in the case of mutilated certificates, the certificate or portion thereof remaining, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity in form and amount satisfactory to the Warrant Agent (including the posting of an open penalty surety bond satisfactory to the Warrant Agent to protect the Company and the Warrant Agent from any loss that either of them may suffer if a Warrant Certificate is replaced, and which open penalty surety bond holds the Warrant Agent and the Company harmless), and satisfaction of any other reasonable requirements of the Warrant Agent or as established by Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York, together with reimbursement to the Company and the Warrant Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender to the Warrant Agent and cancellation of the Warrant Certificate if mutilated, absent notice to the Warrant Agent that such Warrant Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall make and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor to the Warrant Agent for delivery to the Holder in lieu of the Warrant Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated. The Warrant Agent may, at its option, issue replacement Warrants for mutilated certificates upon presentation thereof without such indemnity. The Company and the Warrant Agent may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Warrant Certificate. Every replacement Warrant Certificate evidences an additional obligation of the Company.
Section 2.07 Outstanding Warrants. All Warrants evidenced as outstanding in the Warrant Register shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of this Agreement (which, in the case of Warrants represented by Warrant Certificates, shall include all Warrant Certificates authenticated by the Warrant Agent excluding those canceled by it and those delivered to it for cancellation). A Warrant does not cease to be outstanding because an Affiliate of the Company holds the Warrant. A Warrant ceases to be outstanding if the Company holds the Warrant.
If a Warrant Certificate is replaced pursuant to Section 2.06, the Warrants evidenced thereby cease to be outstanding unless the Warrant Agent and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Warrant Certificate is held by a protected purchaser (as defined for purposes of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code).
Section 2.08 Cancellation. In the event the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire Definitive Warrants, the Company may, at its option, deliver the same to the Warrant Agent for cancellation.
All Warrant Certificates surrendered for the purpose of exercise, transfer, split up, combination or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or to any of its agents, be delivered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation or in cancelled form, or, if surrendered to the Warrant Agent, shall be cancelled by it, and no Warrant Certificate shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Warrant Agent shall so cancel and retire any other Warrant Certificate purchased or acquired by the Company otherwise than upon the exercise thereof.
The Warrant Agent and no one else shall cancel all Warrant Certificates surrendered for transfer, exchange, replacement, exercise or cancellation. The Company may not issue new Warrant Certificates to replace Warrant Certificates to the extent they evidence Warrants which have been exercised or Warrants which the Company has canceled.
12

Section 2.09 CUSIP Numbers. The Company has assigned a “CUSIP” number in connection with the issuance of the Warrants and the Warrant Agent may use such “CUSIP” number in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Warrant Certificates or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Warrant Certificates.
Article III
EXERCISE TERMS
Section 3.01 Exercise.
(a) Each Warrant shall entitle the Holder thereof to purchase, during the Exercise Period, for each Warrant evidenced thereby, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Warrant Exercise Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the relevant Exercise Date, subject to Section 3.06, at an exercise price equal to $15.50 per Warrant (subject to amendment from time to time in accordance with Section 4.06, the “Warrant Exercise Price”), payable only in cash. Holders may exercise all or a portion of their Warrants or choose not to exercise any Warrants at all, or may otherwise sell or transfer their Warrants, in each case, in their sole and absolute discretion.
(b) The number of shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of any exercise of Warrants represented by a Global Warrant shall be determined by the Depositary (or, as may be agreed from time to time between the Calculation Agent and the Company, the Calculation Agent) in accordance with this Agreement; and provided further, however, that in the event the Company disagrees in good faith with any such calculation, the Company may make such calculation in good faith or appoint an Independent Advisor to make such calculation, and the Company’s (or, as the case may be, such Independent Advisor’s) calculation shall be determinative and final and binding on the Depositary, the Warrant Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Holders and (where such calculation is made by an Independent Advisor) the Company. The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation under any Section of this Agreement to make or verify any such calculation, and shall be fully authorized and protected in relying upon any such calculation. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of any exercise of Warrants represented through the Company’s direct registration system or the Warrant Agent’s other book-entry procedures shall be determined by the Warrant Agent (or, as may be agreed from time to time between the Calculation Agent and the Company, the Calculation Agent) in accordance with this Agreement; and provided further, however, that in the event the Company disagrees in good faith with any such calculation, the Company may make such calculation in good faith or appoint an Independent Advisor to make such calculation, and the Company’s (or, as the case may be, such Independent Advisor’s) calculation shall be determinative and final and binding on the Warrant Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Holders and (where such calculation is made by an Independent Advisor) the Company.
13

Section 3.02 Exercise Period.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including without limitation Section 3.04 and Article V), the Warrants shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time on or after the date on which the Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement shall have first been declared effective by the SEC until the Close of Business on the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders will be able to exercise the Warrants only if (i) the Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement relating to the Warrant Shares is effective and the Exercise Date does not fall in an Exercise Suspension Period and (ii) the Warrant Shares are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under the applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions in which such Holders reside except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01. The Company may instruct the Warrant Agent in writing from time to time that Warrants held by a member of the Board of Directors, an Officer of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company are subject to further restrictions on exercise related to compliance with applicable securities laws, in which case the Warrant Agent shall not permit the exercise of such Warrants without the written consent of the Company.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including without limitation Section 3.04 and Article V), the Warrants will expire and cease to be exercisable at the Close of Business on the date (the “Expiration Date”) which is (i) October 7, 2026 or (ii) if the Early Expiration Price Condition occurs, either (x) the Early Expiration Date, where “Early Expiration Date” means the Business Day immediately following the date of occurrence of the Early Expiration Price Condition or (y) the Alternate Expiration Date.
(c) If the Early Expiration Price Condition occurs, the Company will make a public announcement to that effect by issuance of a press release (the “Early Expiration Price Condition Notice”) (and will give notice thereof to the Warrant Agent and the Calculation Agent) as promptly as practicable after market close on the Early Expiration Price Condition Date setting forth the Early Expiration Date or an Alternate Expiration Date.
(d) The Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to set the Early Expiration Date on a date falling after the business day immediately following the Early Expiration Price Condition Date (any such date, as such date may be further adjusted pursuant to Section 3.02(e), an “Alternate Expiration Date”). Any such Alternate Expiration Date shall be specified in the Early Expiration Price Condition Notice, provided that such Alternate Expiration Date may be subsequently adjusted pursuant to Section 3.02(e). In order to exercise the right to set an Alternate Expiration Date, the Company shall, no later than the fifth Qualifying Trading Day (whether or not consecutive) occurring in any 20 consecutive Trading Day period, make a public announcement by issuance of a press release (and will give notice thereof to the Warrant Agent and the Calculation Agent) that the Company is reserving the right to set an Alternate Expiration Date in the event the Early Expiration Price Condition does occur.
14

(e) If the Company sets an Alternate Expiration Date, the expiration of the Warrants on such Alternate Expiration Date shall be conditioned on the daily VWAP of a share of Common Stock being at least equal to the quotient of the Exercise Price divided by the Warrant Exercise Rate for each of the two Trading Days immediately preceding such Alternate Expiration Date (the “Additional Price Condition” in respect of such Alternate Expiration Date). As promptly as practicable after market close on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Alternate Expiration Date, the Company will make a public announcement by issuance of a press release (and will give notice thereof to the Warrant Agent and the Calculation Agent) as to whether the Additional Price Condition is met. Whether or not the Additional Price Condition is met, the Company may, in its sole discretion, in any such press release, postpone such Alternate Expiration Date to a new Alternate Expiration Date (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be conditional to the Additional Price Condition in respect of the Alternate Expiration Date so postponed). The Company may, in its sole discretion, by making a public announcement by issuance of a press release (and giving notice thereof to the Warrant Agent and the Calculation Agent), postpone further (on one or more occasions) such Alternate Expiration Date to a new Alternate Expiration Date (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be conditional to the Additional Price Condition in respect of the Alternate Expiration Date so postponed).
(f) If (i) the Additional Price Condition is not met in respect of any Alternate Expiration Date and (ii) the Company does not postpone such Alternate Expiration Date as set forth in Section 3.02(e) (an “Alternate Expiration Date Annulment”) in respect of such Alternate Expiration Date), the Expiration Date will remain October 7, 2026 unless another Early Expiration Price Condition Date subsequently occurs.
(g) The “Exercise Period” is the period during which the Warrants are exercisable in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein (including without limitation this Section 3.02 and Article V).
Section 3.03 Expiration. A Warrant shall terminate and become void as of the earliest of (i) the Close of Business on the Expiration Date and (ii) the time such Warrant is exercised.
Section 3.04 Manner of Exercise.
(a) Subject to Section 3.02(b) and Section 3.03, Warrants may be exercised by a Holder in full or in part, on any Business Day (each, an “Exercise Date”) falling in the Exercise Period, by:
(i) (x) delivery to the Warrant Agent at its office designated for such purpose of the related Warrant Certificate, in the case of Warrants issued in certificated form, (y) delivery of the Warrant through the procedures of the Warrant Agent in the case of Warrants represented through the Company’s direct registration system or the Warrant Agent’s other book-entry procedures or (z) delivery of the Warrant through the systems of the Depositary, in the case of Global Warrants;
(ii) electronic delivery to the Warrant Agent of an election to purchase Warrant Shares in the applicable form included in Exhibit A (an “Exercise Notice”), duly completed and signed by the Holder; and
15

(iii) payment in United States dollars by check payable to the order of the Company or the Warrant Agent or by wire transfer to the Company or the Warrant Agent of immediately available funds to an account of or for the benefit of the Company (as designated by the Company and available upon request from the Warrant Agent) in an amount equal to the Warrant Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrants so exercised, provided that if any of (i), (ii) or (iii) above has occurred on or after the Close of Business on any day, it shall instead be deemed to have occurred on the immediately following Business Day (subject to Section 3.04(c) and Section 3.04(d)); and provided further that the Exercise Date shall be the first Business Day on which all of (i), (ii) and (iii) above have occurred, as determined by the Company in consultation with the Warrant Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company may, in its sole discretion, from time to time offer Holders or their brokers the right to deliver a notice of guaranteed delivery on the Exercise Date with respect to Warrants in order to satisfy the delivery requirements of clause (i) above as of the Exercise Date.
(b) In the case of a Global Warrant, any Person with a beneficial interest in such Global Warrant shall effect compliance with the requirements in Section 3.04(a)(i), Section 3.04(a)(ii) and Section 3.04(a)(iii) above through the relevant Agent Member in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary.
(c) Subject to Section 3.04(d), if the purported Exercise Date of any Warrants is or is deemed to be after the Close of Business on the Expiration Date, the exercise thereof will be null and void and any funds delivered to the Warrant Agent or the Company will be returned to the Holder as soon as practicable. In no event will interest accrue on Funds deposited with the Warrant Agent in respect of an exercise or attempted exercise of Warrants.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any otherwise valid exercise of a Warrant submitted after any applicable deadline for exercise may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, be accepted and honored. The Company’s decision with respect to any such exercise shall be determinative.
(e) In the case of a Global Warrant, whenever some but not all of the Warrants represented by such Global Warrant are exercised in accordance with the terms thereof and of this Agreement, such Global Warrant shall be surrendered by the Holder to the Warrant Agent, which shall cause an adjustment to be made to such Global Warrant so that the number of Warrants represented thereby will be equal to the number of Warrants theretofore represented by such Global Warrant less the number of Warrants then exercised. The Warrant Agent shall thereafter promptly return such Global Warrant to the Holder or its nominee or custodian.
(f) In the case of a Definitive Warrant or book-entry Warrant, whenever some but not all of the Warrants represented by such Definitive Warrant or book-entry Warrant are exercised in accordance with the terms thereof and of this Agreement, the Holder shall be entitled, at the request of the Holder, to receive from the Company within a reasonable time, and in any event not exceeding ten (10) Business Days, a new Definitive Warrant or book-entry statement in substantially identical form for the number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants theretofore represented by such Definitive Warrant or book-entry statement less the number of Warrants then exercised.
(g) If a Warrant Certificate shall have been exercised in full, the Warrant Agent shall promptly cancel such certificate following its receipt from the Holder or the Depositary, as applicable.
16

(h) If a Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement is not effective at any time or from time to time for any reason, the right to exercise Warrants shall be automatically suspended until such Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective as specified in Section 5.01.
Section 3.05 Issuance of Warrant Shares.
(a) Subject to Section 3.02(a), upon any exercise of Warrants in compliance with this Agreement, the Company shall issue and cause the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “Stock Transfer Agent,” which may be the Warrant Agent) to cause to be registered in the Company’s register of shareholders via the direct registration system a number of full Warrant Shares so purchased upon the exercise of such Warrants (determined in accordance with Section 3.06) or Units of Reference Property to which it is entitled, registered or otherwise, to the Holder or Holders entitled to receive the same or upon the written order of the Holder(s) in such name or names as the Holder(s) may designate (including any depositary institution so designated by a Holder). In no event shall the Company have the right or obligation or be required to settle the exercise of Warrants through delivery of cash in lieu of Common Stock.
(b) Such Warrant Shares or Units of Reference Property shall be delivered after the applicable Exercise Date on the transfer agent’s standard turnaround time.
(c) The Company hereby instructs the Warrant Agent to record the cost basis for newly issued shares (or Units of Reference Property) as the sum of (x) the then applicable Exercise Price plus (y) the Holder’s cost basis in the exercised Warrant, if any, which the Warrant Agent shall request of the Holder, if necessary. The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility or duty to make or verify any such calculation and is fully authorized and protected in relying upon the Company’s (or the Depository’s or the Calculation Agent’s) calculation of cost basis made pursuant to the preceding sentence.
(d) The Depositary’s (or the Calculation Agent’s) determination of the number of shares of Common Stock (or Units of Reference Property) to be issued on any exercise of Warrants and the validity of such exercise, pursuant to this Agreement, shall govern and the Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm whether such determinations are accurate or correct.
(e) The Person in whose name any shares of Common Stock (or Units of Reference Property) shall be issuable upon exercise of a Warrant shall be treated as a stockholder of record of such shares (or holder of such Units of Reference Property) as of the Close of Business on the relevant Exercise Date, assuming the satisfaction of all conditions, including the payment of the Warrant Exercise Price. Upon the exercise of any Warrants, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Warrants as of the Close of Business on the relevant Exercise Date.
17

Section 3.06 Fractional Warrant Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock (or Units of Reference Property) on the exercise of Warrants or pay cash in lieu thereof. The number of shares of Common Stock (or Units of Reference Property) that shall be issuable upon an exercise of Warrants by a Holder pursuant to any one Exercise Notice at any time shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (or Units of Reference Property) which may be purchased pursuant to the Warrants being exercised by that Holder pursuant to such Exercise Notice. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock (or Units of Reference Property) would be issuable upon the exercise of Warrants pursuant to such Exercise Notice, the total number of shares of Common Stock (or Units of Reference Property) to be issued to the relevant Holder in respect of such Exercise Notice shall be rounded down to the nearest Whole Number and no cash or other adjustment will be made in lieu of the fraction of a share so rounded down.
Section 3.07 Reservation of Warrant Shares.
(a) The Company shall at all times keep reserved out of its authorized Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the Stock Transfer Agent and will furnish to such Stock Transfer Agent a copy of all notices of adjustments (and certificates related thereto) transmitted to each Holder.
(b) The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon proper exercise of Warrants (including payment of the Warrant Exercise Price) shall, upon issue, be fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights.
(c) The Company shall provide an opinion of counsel on or prior to the date hereof which shall state that all Warrants and Warrant Shares, as applicable, (i) were offered, sold or issued as part of an offering that was registered in compliance with the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (as the case may be), (ii) were issued in compliance with all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, and (iii) are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Section 3.08 Reserved.
Section 3.09 Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Agreement requires the Calculation Agent to calculate the average of the daily Last Reported Sale Prices over a span of multiple days (if the Calculation Agent determines in its sole discretion it is able to make such adjustment in its capacity as Calculation Agent), the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments, if any, to each to account for any adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Rate where the Ex-Date or effective date, as the case may be, of the event occurs, at any time during or after the period when the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices is to be calculated. If the Calculation Agent is not able to make such adjustment, the Company may make such adjustment in good faith or appoint an Independent Advisor to make such adjustment, and the Company’s (or, as the case may be, such Independent Advisor’s) calculation shall be determinative and final and binding on the Warrant Agent, the Calculation Agent and the Holders.
18

Article IV
ADJUSTMENT AND NOTICE PROVISIONS
Section 4.01 Adjustments.
Subject to the provisions of this Article IV, the Warrant Exercise Rate shall be subject to adjustment, without duplication, as follows, except that the Company shall not make any such adjustments if the Company determines that each Holder has the opportunity to participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the shares of Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Warrants in any of the transactions described in this Section 4.01, without having to exercise such Holder’s Warrants, as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest Whole Number) of (i) the Warrant Exercise Rate in effect on the Record Date for such transaction and (ii) the number of Warrants held by it on such Record Date:
(a) Stock Dividends, Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications and Combinations. If the Company shall (i) exclusively issue shares of Common Stock to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine, consolidate or reclassify the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Warrant Exercise Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
where:

| WER₁ | = |  | the Warrant Exercise Rate in effect at the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution, or at the open of business on the effective date of such subdivision, combination, consolidation or reclassification, as applicable;
| WER₀ | = |  | the Warrant Exercise Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to open of business on the effective date of such subdivision, combination, consolidation or reclassification, as applicable;
| OS₁ | = |  | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of giving effect to, such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination, consolidation or reclassification, as applicable;
| OS₀ | = |  | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such subdivision, combination, consolidation or reclassification, as applicable (before giving effect to any such dividend, distribution, or subdivision, consolidation, combination or reclassification, as applicable).

19

Any adjustment made under this clause (a) shall become effective at the open of business on such Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution, or at the open of business on the effective date for such subdivision, consolidation, combination or reclassification, as applicable. If an adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Rate is made in respect of any dividend or distribution, subdivision, consolidation, combination or reclassification of the type described in this Section 4.01(a) but such dividend or distribution, subdivision, consolidation, combination or reclassification is not so paid or made, the Warrant Exercise Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, subdivision, consolidation, combination or reclassification, to the Warrant Exercise Rate that would then be in effect at such time had no such adjustment been made.
(b) Rights Issues. If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the arithmetic average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock on each Trading Day comprised in the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Warrant Exercise Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
where:

| WER₁ | = |  | the Warrant Exercise Rate in effect at the open of business on the Ex-Date for such issuance;
| WER₀ | = |  | the Warrant Exercise Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such issuance;
| OS₀ | = |  | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such issuance;
| X | = |  | the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
| Y | = |  | the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the arithmetic average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock on each Trading Day comprised in the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

20

Any adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Rate made under this Section 4.01(b) shall be made whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective at the open of business on the Ex-Date for such issuance. To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Warrant Exercise Rate shall be decreased to the Warrant Exercise Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If an adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Rate is made in respect of any such issuance of rights, options or warrants but such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Warrant Exercise Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Warrant Exercise Rate that would then be in effect at such time had no such adjustment been made.
For purposes of this Section 4.01(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of the Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than such arithmetic average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock on each Trading Day comprised in the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the date of announcement for such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) Other Distributions and Spin-Offs.
(i) Distributions Other than Spin-Offs. If the Company makes a distribution to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, of its Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, excluding:
(1) any dividends, distributions or issuances described in Section 4.01(a) above or Section 4.01(b) above;
(2) any dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash described in Section 4.01(d) below;
(3) any dividends or distributions in connection with a Business Combination, reclassification, change, consolidation conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition resulting in the change in the securities or property receivable upon the exercise of a warrant as described in Section 4.03;
(4) any rights issued pursuant to a shareholders’ rights plan adopted by the Company, other than as described in Section 4.01(e); and
(5) any Spin-Offs described below in Section 4.01(c)(ii), then the Warrant Exercise Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
where:
21

| WER₁ | = |  | the Warrant Exercise Rate in effect at the open of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution;
| WER₀ | = |  | the Warrant Exercise Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution;
| SP₀ | = |  | the arithmetic average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock on each Trading Day comprised in the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such distribution; and
| SMV | = |  | the Fair Market Value, as of the open of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution, of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property of the Company, cash, rights or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock.

Any adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Rate under this Section 4.01(c)(i) shall become effective at the open of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution.
(ii) Spin-Offs. With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.01(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution by the Company to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock in shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company that will be, upon distribution, listed or quoted on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), then the Warrant Exercise Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
where:

| WER₁ | = |  | the Warrant Exercise Rate in effect at the open of business on the Ex-Date of the Spin-Off;
| WER₀ | = |  | the Warrant Exercise Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date of the Spin-Off;
| FMV | = |  | the arithmetic average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock on each day which is a Trading Day for both the Common Stock and the Capital Stock or similar equity interest so distributed (each, a “Valuation Trading Day”) comprised in the period of 10 consecutive Valuation Trading Days commencing on the Ex-Date for such Spin-Off (or, if such Ex-Date is not a Valuation Trading Day, commencing on the immediately following Valuation Trading Day) (such period, the “Valuation Period”); and
| SP | = |  | the arithmetic average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock on each Trading Day comprised in the Valuation Period.

22

Any adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Rate under this Section 4.01(c)(ii) shall be made immediately after the Close of Business on the last day of the Valuation Period, but shall become effective at the open of business on the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off, subject to Section 4.02(b).
If an adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Rate is made in respect of any distribution of the type described in this Section 4.01(c) but such distribution is not so made, the Warrant Exercise Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make such distribution, to the Warrant Exercise Rate that would then be in effect at such time had no such adjustment been made.
(d) Cash Dividends or Distributions. If any cash dividend or distribution is paid to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, then the Warrant Exercise Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
where:

| WER₁ | = |  | the Warrant Exercise Rate in effect at the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution; and
| WER₀ | = |  | the Warrant Exercise Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;
| SP₀ | = |  | the arithmetic average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock on each Trading Day comprised in the period of ten consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;
| C | = |  | the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of the Common Stock;

Any adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Rate made under this Section 4.01(d) shall become effective at the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution. If an adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Rate is made in respect of any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 4.01(d) but such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Warrant Exercise Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Warrant Exercise Rate that would then be in effect at such time had no such adjustment been made.
23

(e) Shareholder Rights Plan. If the Company has a shareholder rights plan in effect upon the Exercise Date of a Warrant, each share of Common Stock, if any, issued upon such exercise shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such exercise shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such shareholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if, prior to any exercise, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights plan so that the Holders of Warrants would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon exercise, the Warrant Exercise Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had made a distribution to all holders of its Common Stock as provided in Section 4.01(b), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
Section 4.02 Calculation of Adjustments; Timing of Issuance of Additional Warrant Shares Upon Certain Adjustments; Adjustment Rules.
(a) All adjustments to the Warrant Exercise Rate under Section 4.01 shall be made by the Calculation Agent to the nearest whole multiple of 0.00001 (with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) share of Common Stock.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Warrants, (i) if the provisions of Section 4.01 shall require that an adjustment be made to the Warrant Exercise Rate in respect of any distribution or other relevant event, and the shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of any exercise are entitled to participate in such distribution or other relevant event, such adjustment shall not be given effect for the purpose of such exercise of Warrants and (ii) if the Exercise Date in respect of any exercise of Warrants falls after the Record Date for any Spin-Off and on or before the last day of the relevant Valuation Period, delivery of the shares of Common Stock issuable (or amount of cash payable, as applicable) pursuant to such exercise shall occur as soon as practicable after the last day of such Valuation Period.
(c) Any adjustments pursuant to Section 4.01 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur.
Section 4.03 Business Combinations and Reorganizations. In case of any Business Combination or reclassification of Common Stock (other than a reclassification of Common Stock referred to in Section 4.01), the Holder’s right to receive Warrant Shares upon exercise of a Warrant shall be converted into the right to exercise a Warrant to acquire, per each Warrant, the number of shares or other securities or property (including cash) that a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Warrant Exercise Rate (in effect at the time of such Business Combination or reclassification) immediately prior to such Business Combination or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Business Combination or reclassification (the amount of such shares, other securities or property in respect of a share of Common Stock being herein referred to as a “Unit of Reference Property”); and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be achievable, to the Holder’s right to exercise such Warrant in exchange for a Unit of Reference Property pursuant to this paragraph. If the Business Combination causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), then the composition of the Unit of Reference Property into which the Warrants will be exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock.
24

Section 4.04 Notice of Adjustments. Whenever any adjustment is made pursuant to this Article IV, the Company shall cause notice of such adjustment to be delivered to the Warrant Agent as soon as practicable following the effective date of such adjustment, such notice to include in reasonable detail (i) the reason for the adjustment, (ii) the computation of any adjustments, and (iii) the new or amended exercise terms, including, as applicable, the adjusted Warrant Exercise Rate (or the number of shares or the Units of Reference Property purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant) and the Early Expiration Trigger Price after giving effect to such adjustment. The calculations, adjustments and determinations included in the Company’s notice shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders. The Warrant Agent shall be fully authorized to rely on, protected in relying on, and entitled to rely on such notice and any adjustment therein contained and the Warrant Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any such adjustment unless and until it shall have received such notice. The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation under any section of this Agreement to determine whether an adjustment is required, to calculate any of the adjustments set forth herein, or to verify any such adjustment or calculation. The Company shall provide notice to holders of the Warrant of any such adjustment by press release or such other method as the Company may reasonably determine adequately informs holders of Warrants of such adjustment. The Warrant Agent shall as soon as practicable after receipt of such notice from the Company (which notice must specifically direct the Warrant Agent to perform delivery) cause a similar notice to be delivered to the Depositary pursuant to the customary procedures of the Depositary. The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation under any Section of this Agreement to determine whether any adjustment has occurred pursuant to this Article IV, or to calculate any of the adjustments set forth herein. The Company shall transmit, or cause to be transmitted, to the Warrant Agent, and the Warrant Agent shall have no obligation under this Agreement to calculate, any adjustment made pursuant to this Article IV. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on any such exercise shall be determined by the Company (with prompt written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent) using the formula set forth in Article IV, the Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm whether the Company’s determination of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on such exercise, pursuant to this Article IV, is accurate or correct.
Section 4.05 Adjustment to Warrant Certificate. The form of Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment made pursuant to this Article IV, and Warrant Certificates issued after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Exercise Rate as are stated in any Warrant Certificates issued prior to such adjustment. The Company, however, may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate to give effect to such adjustments and that does not affect the substance of the Warrant Certificate, including the rights, duties, immunities, and obligations of the Warrant Agent, and any Warrant Certificate thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed. For the avoidance of doubt, no change to the Warrant Certificate or this Agreement as a result of an adjustment pursuant to this Article IV shall require the consent of the Holders of the Warrants or the Warrant Agent.
25

Section 4.06 Amendments.
(a) The Company and the Warrant Agent, without the consent of the Holders, may from time to time and at any time amend this Agreement and/or the Warrant Certificate for one or more of the following purposes:
(i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;
(ii) to provide for the assumption by a successor company in any Business Combination;
(iii) to extend the Expiration Date;
(iv) to increase the Warrant Exercise Rate or decrease the Warrant Exercise Price;
(v) to provide for net share settlement upon exercise of the Warrants;
(vi) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect;
(vii) to provide for a successor Warrant Agent or Calculation Agent;
(viii) in connection with any Business Combination, to provide that the Warrants are exercisable for Units of Reference Property; or
(ix) to conform the provisions of this Agreement or the Warrant Certificate to the “Description of the Warrants” section of the registration statement, prospectus, any amendments or supplements thereto relating to the issuance and sale of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants.
Any amendment authorized by the provisions of this Section 4.06(a) may be executed by the Company and the Warrant Agent without the consent of the Holders of any of the Warrants at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 4.06(b).
(b) With the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Warrants, the Company may from time to time amend this Agreement and/or the Warrant Certificate in a manner that has a material adverse effect on the interests of any of the Holders. In determining whether the Holders of the required number of Warrants have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, only Warrants outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such determination, and Warrants known to the Warrant Agent to be owned by the Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for such purpose. The Company or the Warrant Agent may set a Record Date for any such direction, waiver or consent and only the Holders as of such Record Date shall be entitled to make or give such direction, waiver or consent.
26

(c) No supplement or amendment to this Agreement or any Warrant Certificate pursuant to Section 4.06 shall be effective unless duly executed by the Warrant Agent and the Company. As a condition precedent to the Warrant Agent’s execution of any amendment, the Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent a certificate from a duly authorized Officer of the Company that states that the proposed amendment is in compliance with the terms of Section 4.06. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Warrant Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any supplement or amendment that adversely affects the Warrant Agent’s own rights, duties, immunities or obligations under this Agreement.
(d) The Company shall provide reasonable notice to the Holders via press release or Form 8-K filing of any material amendment to this Agreement or the Warrant Certificate pursuant to this Section 4.06, and in each case materiality shall be determined by the Company using its sole reasonable discretion. The Warrant Agent shall as soon as practicable after receipt of such notice from the Company (which notice must specifically direct the Warrant Agent to perform delivery) cause a similar notice to be delivered to the Depositary pursuant to the customary procedures of the Depositary. Upon the execution of any amendment of this Agreement or the Warrant Certificate pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.06, this Agreement and/or the Warrant Certificate shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under Agreement of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments and all the terms and conditions of any such amendment shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Warrant Certificate for any and all purposes.
Article V
REGISTRATION OF WARRANT SHARES
Section 5.01 Effectiveness of Registration Statement. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a shelf registration statement (including, at the Company’s election, an existing registration statement or a replacement thereof), filed pursuant to Rule 415 (or any successor provision) of the Securities Act, covering the issuance of Warrant Shares to the Holders upon exercise of the Warrants by the Holders thereof (the “Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement”) to, subject to certain exceptions, (i) become effective as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement and (ii) remain effective at least until the earlier of (x) such time as all Warrants have been exercised and (y) the Close of Business on the Expiration Date. The Company shall promptly inform the Warrant Agent of any change in the status of the effectiveness or availability of the Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, no Warrants shall be exercisable at any time until a Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective. If a Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement is not effective at any time or from time to time for any reason, the right to exercise Warrants shall be automatically suspended until such Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective (any such period, an “Exercise Suspension Period”). As promptly as practicable upon the occurrence of an Exercise Suspension Period, the Company shall provide notice by press release, with a copy to the Warrant Agent and the Calculation Agent, of any Exercise Suspension Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) no calculation of the VWAP for purposes of determining the Early Expiration Price Condition shall occur during any Exercise Suspension Period, and (ii) if the Expiration Date would otherwise fall in an Exercise Suspension Period, the Expiration Date shall be delayed by the number of days comprised in such Exercise Suspension Period.
27

Section 5.02 Suspension. The Company shall be entitled to suspend the availability of the Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement from time to time if the Board of Directors determines in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that such suspension is necessary or desirable, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, and provides notice via press release that such determination was made to the Warrant Agent and Holders of the Warrants (provided that upon request by the Company, the Stock Transfer Agent will deliver a copy of such notice to the Depositary pursuant to the customary procedures of the Depositary); provided, however, that (i) if the Company exercises such right in a period in which the Expiration Date would otherwise fall, the Expiration Date shall be delayed by the number of days during such period for which the availability of the Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement was suspended and (ii) in no event shall the Company be required to disclose the business purpose for such suspension if the Company determines in good faith that such business purpose should remain confidential.
Section 5.03 Expenses. Subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), all expenses incurred directly by the Company that are incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with its obligations under this Article V relating to the issuance of the Warrant Shares will be borne by the Company, including without limitation: (i) all SEC, stock exchange or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority registration and filing fees, (ii) all fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the compliance with state securities or blue sky laws, (iii) all expenses of any Persons incurred by or on behalf of the Company with the prior written consent of the Company in preparing or assisting in preparing, printing and distributing the Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement or any other registration statement, prospectus, any amendments or supplements thereto and other documents relating to the performance of and compliance with this Article V, (iv) the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and (v) the fees and disbursements of the independent public accountants of the Company.

(h) Medallion Guarantee. The Warrant Agent may rely on and be fully authorized and protected in acting or failing to act upon (i) any guaranty of signature by an “eligible guarantor institution” that is a member or participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program or other comparable “signature guarantee program” or insurance program in addition to, or in substitution for, the foregoing; or (ii) any law, act, regulation or any interpretation of the same even though such law, act, or regulation may thereafter have been altered, changed, amended or repealed.
(i) Statements of the Company. The statements and recitals contained herein and in the Global Warrant Certificates shall be taken as statements of the Company, and the Warrant Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the Global Warrant Certificates or be required to verify the same (except as to its countersignature on such Global Warrant Certificates). Except as expressly provided herein, the Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility with respect to the execution, delivery or distribution of the Global Warrant Certificates.
(j) No Responsibility for Failures of the Company. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants contained in this Agreement or in the Global Warrant Certificates to be complied with by the Company, nor shall it at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to make or cause to be made any adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number of Warrants Shares any Warrant is exercisable for (except as instructed in writing by the Company), or to determine whether any facts exist that may require any such adjustments, or with respect to the nature or extent of or method employed in making any such adjustments when made.
30

(k) No Duty to Litigate. The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute any action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve expense or liability, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any duty or responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise or to make any demand upon the Company. All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Warrants may be enforced by the Warrant Agent without the possession of any of the Warrants or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such action, suit or proceeding instituted by the Warrant Agent shall be brought in its name as Warrant Agent, and any recovery or judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders, as their respective rights or interests may appear.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will the Warrant Agent be liable for special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Warrant Agent has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of the action.
(m) Disclaimer of Responsibility. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due and validly authorized execution hereof by the Warrant Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution of any Global Warrant Certificate (except its due and validly authorized countersignature thereof), nor shall the Warrant Agent by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of the Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant or as to whether the Warrant Shares will when issued be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable or as to the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares a Warrant is exercisable for. The Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any facts exist that may require an adjustment, or the calculation of any adjustments or any amounts due in connection with any exercise of the Warrants. Provided the Warrant Agent has performed its duties as soon as commercially practicable, the Warrant Agent shall not be liable for the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, nor shall the Warrant Agent be liable for any damages associated therewith.
(n) No Duty to Risk Own Funds. No provision of this Agreement shall require the Warrant Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights if it believes that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(o) No Responsibility to Verify Legality of Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any duty or responsibility to ensure compliance with any applicable federal or state securities laws in connection with the issuance, transfer or exchange of the Warrants.
(p) Other Agreements. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall not be subject to, nor be required to comply with, or determine if any Person has complied with, the Warrants or any other agreement between or among the parties hereto, even though reference thereto may be made in this Agreement, or to comply with any notice, instruction, direction, request or other communication, paper or document other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
31

(q) Ambiguities. In the event the Warrant Agent believes any ambiguity or uncertainty exists hereunder or in any notice, instruction, direction, request or other communication, paper or document received by the Warrant Agent hereunder, or is for any reason unsure as to what action to take hereunder, the Warrant Agent shall notify the Company in writing as soon as practicable, and upon delivery of such notice may, in its sole discretion, refrain from taking any action, and shall be fully protected and shall not be liable in any way to the Company or any Holder or other Person for refraining from taking such action, unless the Warrant Agent receives written instructions signed by the Company which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of Warrant Agent.
(r) Survival. The provisions of this Section 7.02 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the termination, exercise or expiration of the Warrants and the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent.
Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent, and any member, stockholder, affiliate, director, officer or employee thereof, may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or other securities of the Company or its Affiliates or become pecuniarily interested in any transactions in which the Company or its Affiliates may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or its Affiliates or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it was not the Warrant Agent under this Agreement, or a member, stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent, as the case may be. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.
Section 7.04 Warrant Agent’s Disclaimer. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Agreement or the Warrant Certificates (other than its countersignature thereof) and it shall not be responsible for any statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or the Warrant Certificates other than its countersignature thereof by the Company, or be required to verify the same, but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only; nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant Certificate or as to whether any shares of Common Stock will, when issued, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Section 7.05 Compensation and Indemnity.
(a) Compensation. The Company agrees that the Warrant Agent is entitled, from time to time, to reasonable compensation for its services as agreed in accordance with a fee schedule to be mutually agreed upon between the Company and the Warrant Agent in writing for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent and to reimburse the Warrant Agent for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented counsel fees and other disbursements incurred in the preparation, delivery, negotiation, amendment, administration and execution of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder) by the Warrant Agent in connection with the services rendered hereunder by the Warrant Agent.
32

(b) Indemnity. The Company covenants and agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless the Warrant Agent, its officers, directors, agents and counsel against any loss, liability, damage, judgment, fine, penalty, claim, demand, settlement, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) which may be paid, incurred or suffered by or to which it may become subject arising from or out of, directly or indirectly, any claims or liability resulting from any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Warrant Agent in connection with the execution, acceptance, administration, exercise and performance of its duties under this Agreement, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability arising therefrom, directly or indirectly, or of enforcing its indemnification rights under this Agreement. The Warrant Agent shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity and shall cooperate with the Company in defending such claim, but failure of the Warrant Agent to notify the Company shall not affect or limit the right of the Warrant Agent to seek indemnification from the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence except to the extent such failure actually prejudices the Company with respect to any such indemnifiable claim (as determined in a final, non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction). The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Warrant Agent, its officers, directors, agents and/or counsel through willful misconduct or gross negligence of any one or more of them (which willful misconduct or gross negligence must be determined by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction).
The obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 7.05(b) shall survive the exercise or expiration of the Warrants, the termination of this Agreement and the resignation, replacement or removal of the Warrant Agent.
(c) Company Instructions. Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the Warrant Agent deems it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking, suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, the Warrant Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from an Appropriate Officer of the Company and to apply to such Appropriate Officer for advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and such instructions shall be full authorization and protection to the Warrant Agent and, absent gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (which gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct must be determined by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction), the Warrant Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered to be taken, or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with instructions of any such Appropriate Officer or in reliance upon any statement signed by any one of such Appropriate Officers of the Company with respect to any fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed) which may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by such signed statement. The Warrant Agent shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any person, until receipt of written notice thereof from Company. From time to time, the Company may provide the Warrant Agent with instructions concerning the services performed by the Warrant Agent hereunder. The Warrant Agent and its agents and subcontractors shall not be liable and shall be indemnified by the Company for any action taken or omitted in the absence of bad faith by the Warrant Agent (i) in reliance upon any written Company instructions or (ii) upon the advice or opinion of such counsel (in which case, the Warrant Agent shall provide advance notice to the Company if it will not take an action required by this Agreement because of the advice or opinion of such counsel). The Warrant Agent shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any person, until receipt of written notice thereof from the Company.
33

(d) Limitation of Liability. The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Warrant Agent’s aggregate liability during any term of this Agreement with respect to, arising from, or arising in connection with this Agreement, or from all services provided or omitted to be provided under this Agreement, whether in contract, or in tort, or otherwise, is limited to, and shall not exceed, the amounts paid hereunder by the Company to the Warrant Agent as fees and charges, but not including reimbursable expenses, during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event for which recovery from Warrant Agent is being sought.
(e) Consequential Damages. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall either party to this Agreement be liable under or in connection with this Agreement for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Warrant Agent has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought. or for any consequential, indirect, punitive, special or incidental damages arising out of any act or failure to act hereunder even if that party has been advised of or has foreseen the possibility of such damages.
(f) Survival. The Parties’ obligations pursuant to this Section 7.05 shall survive the termination, exercise or expiration of the Warrants, the termination of this Agreement and the resignation, replacement or removal of the Warrant Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights, immunities, duties and obligations of the Warrant Agent pursuant to Section 7.05(d) of this Agreement shall survive the termination, exercise or expiration of the Warrants, the termination of this Agreement and the resignation, replacement or removal of the Warrant Agent.
Section 7.06 Successor Warrant Agent.
(a) Company to Provide and Maintain Warrant Agent. The Company agrees for the benefit of the Holders that there shall at all times be a Warrant Agent hereunder (which may include the Company) until all the Warrants have been exercised or are no longer exercisable.
(b) Resignation and Removal. The Warrant Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice to the Company of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall not be less than thirty (30) days after the date on which such notice is given unless the Company otherwise agrees in writing. In the event the transfer agency relationship in effect between the Company and the Warrant Agent terminates, the Warrant Agent shall be deemed to have resigned automatically, notwithstanding the second clause of the preceding sentence, and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement as of the effective date of such termination, and the Company shall be responsible for sending any required notice. The Warrant Agent hereunder may be removed at any time by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of the Company and specifying such removal and the date when it shall become effective, which date shall not be fewer than thirty (30) days after such notice is given unless the Warrant Agent otherwise agrees in writing.
34

(c) The Company to Appoint Successor. In the event that at any time the Warrant Agent shall resign, or shall be removed, or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or shall commence a voluntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or under any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Warrant Agent or its property or affairs, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or shall take corporate action in furtherance of any such action, or a decree or order for relief by a court shall have been entered in respect of the Warrant Agent in an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or a decree or order by a court shall have been entered for the appointment of a receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Warrant Agent or of its property or affairs, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Warrant Agent or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation, winding up or liquidation, a successor Warrant Agent, qualified as aforesaid, shall be appointed by the Company by an instrument in writing, filed with the successor Warrant Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company fails to make such appointment within a period of thirty (30) days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Warrant Agent, then any Holder may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Warrant Agent.

Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof (the “Holder”), at its option and subject to the provisions contained herein and in the Warrant Agreement referred to below, to purchase from Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (including any successor thereto, the “Company”) a number of shares of common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) equal to the Warrant Exercise Rate (which is initially one (1) at an exercise price of $15.50 per Warrant (the “Warrant Exercise Price”), payable in cash as described in the Warrant Agreement. This Warrant Certificate shall terminate and become void as of the earlier of (x) the Close of Business, on the Expiration Date or (y) upon the exercise hereof as to all the shares of Common Stock subject hereto. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.
This Warrant Certificate is issued under and in accordance with a Warrant Agreement, dated as of October 7, 2025 (the “Warrant Agreement”), between the Company and Computershare Trust Company N.A. (the “Warrant Agent,” which term includes any successor Warrant Agent under the Warrant Agreement), and is subject to the terms and provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms and provisions the Holder of this Warrant Certificate consents by acceptance hereof. The Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. Reference is hereby made to the Warrant Agreement for a full statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders of the Warrants. In the event of an inconsistency between the terms of this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Agreement, the terms of the Warrant Agreement shall prevail.

Subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day (each, an “Exercise Date”), in accordance with Section 3.04 of the Warrant Agreement; provided however, that no Warrant shall be exercisable after the Close of Business on the Expiration Date, as it may be adjusted in accordance with the Warrant Agreement.

The Company’s decision with respect to any such exercise shall be determinative.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of Warrants will be able to exercise their Warrants only if the Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement relating to the Warrant Shares is effective and not subject to suspension pursuant to the Warrant Agreement and such securities are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under the applicable securities laws of any relevant states or other jurisdictions;
Upon any partial exercise of the Warrants, there shall be countersigned and issued to the Holder hereof a new Warrant Certificate representing those Warrants which were not exercised. This Warrant Certificate may be exchanged at the office of the Warrant Agent by presenting this Warrant Certificate properly endorsed with a request to exchange this Warrant Certificate for other Warrant Certificates evidencing an equal number of Warrants. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would be issuable upon the exercise of Warrants, the Company shall round down the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the relevant Holder to the nearest Whole Number.
All Warrant Shares shall, upon such issue, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable.
