Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 13, 2026, Agenus Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for a private placement (the “Private Placement”) with certain institutional and other accredited investors (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”). The closing of the Private Placement (the “Closing”) is expected to occur on July 15, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue and sell (i) 23,035,227 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) (or, in lieu thereof, pre-funded warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock (“Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”), with an exercise price of $0.01 per share), (ii) accompanying Series A purchase warrants (“Series A Warrants”) to purchase 21,144,277 shares of common stock (“Series A Warrant Shares”), with an exercise price of $4.02 per share and (iii) accompanying Series B purchase warrants (“Series B Warrants”) to purchase 33,797,214 shares of common stock (“Series B Warrant Shares”), with an exercise price of $5.03 per share. The combined effective purchase price per Share (or Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase one share), and accompanying Series A Warrant to purchase approximately 0.91791 shares of Common Stock and Series B Warrant to purchase approximately 1.46720 shares of Common Stock, is $3.69 (less the exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrant, if applicable), for expected aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $85 million, before deducting Private Placement expenses, with up to an additional $255 million in gross proceeds upon exercise of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants, assuming the exercise in full of such warrants.
Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable at any time after the date of issuance and will not expire until exercised in full.
Each Series A Warrant will be exercisable immediately and will expire upon the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the Closing and the date that is 30 days following the day that the Company publicly discloses (either by press release or Current Report on Form 8-K) that at least 60 patients have been dosed in the Phase 3 clinical trial of the Company’s botensilimab and balstilimab combination product candidate for the neoadjuvant treatment of colon cancer. In addition, at any time prior to the expiration date, a holder of a Series A Warrant may not transfer such warrant, in whole or in part, without simultaneously transferring to the same transferee (and such transferee accepting all of the rights and obligations in respect of and agreeing to be bound by) a corresponding pro rata portion of the Series B Warrant held by such holder. At the option of the holder, the Series A Warrant may be exercised for, in lieu of shares of Common Stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock.
Each Series B Warrant will be exercisable immediately and will expire upon the earliest of (i) the fifth anniversary of the Closing, (ii) the date that is 30 days following the day that the Company publicly discloses (either by press release or Current Report on Form 8-K) pathologic response data for at least 50 patients that were dosed in the Phase 3 clinical trial of the Company’s botensilimab and balstilimab combination product candidate for the neoadjuvant treatment of colon cancer and (iii) unless the holder thereof shall at such time have exercised in full the Series A Warrant held by such holder, 12:01 a.m. (New York City time) on the date immediately following the expiration date of the Series A Warrant. In addition, at any time prior to the expiration date of the Series A Warrant, a holder of a Series B Warrant may not transfer such warrant, in whole or in part, without simultaneously transferring to the same transferee (and such transferee accepting all of the rights and obligations in respect of and agreeing to be bound by) a corresponding pro rata portion of the Series A Warrant. At the option of the holder, the Series B Warrant may be exercised for, in lieu of shares of Common Stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock.
A holder of Pre-Funded Warrants, Series A Warrants or Series B Warrants may not exercise such applicable warrant if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% or 9.99% of the number of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. A holder of Pre-Funded Warrants, Series A Warrants or Series B Warrants may increase or decrease this percentage to a percentage not in excess of 19.99% by providing at least 61 days’ prior notice to the Company. In addition, the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants also include certain rights upon “fundamental transactions” (as described in such warrants), including that, in connection with a fundamental transaction at which the stockholders of the Company receive as consideration solely cash and/or equity securities a person or entity that are not traded on a national securities exchange, or a
fundamental transaction that is a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” (as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), each such holder of a Series A Warrant or Series B Warrant may require, at its option, the Company or a successor entity to purchase such warrant from such holder by paying such holder an amount in cash equal to the Black Scholes value (as described in such warrant) of the unexercised portion of such warrant on the date of the consummation of such fundamental transaction.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, and customary conditions to closing. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has also agreed to increase the size of its board of directors to nine directors (provided that, on or prior to December 31, 2027, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the authorized number of directors to be reduced to eight), including two newly created Class III directorships under the Company’s certificate of incorporation, and, promptly following a designation notice made by Commodore Capital Master LP, cause two individuals designated by Commodore Capital Master LP to be appointed to serve as directors in the newly created Class III directorships. The Company has further agreed to take all action necessary and within its control to ensure that such designees continue to serve as directors at any time that Commodore Capital Master LP, together with its affiliates, beneficially owns at least 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, without giving effect to the beneficial ownership limitation provisions of any Pre-Funded Warrants held by such holders.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has further agreed that it shall not use the net proceeds of the Private Placement for business development purposes, for the redemption, repurchase, or other acquisition for value of any equity securities of the Company, or for the voluntary repayment, prepayment, redemption, or defeasance of any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company prior to its stated maturity or scheduled due date.
Based on the Company’s current plans, the Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with the net proceeds from the Private Placement, will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditure requirements into the third quarter of 2027 (assuming no exercise of the Series A Warrants or Series B Warrants) and through year-end 2031 (assuming the exercise in full of all Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants).
Also on July 13, 2026, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Purchasers, which provides that the Company will register the resale of the Common Stock, the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, Series A Warrant Shares and Series B Warrant Shares. The Company is required to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than 45 days after the date of the Closing, and to use its reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by 90 days after the Closing, subject to certain exceptions.
The Company has also agreed to, among other things, indemnify the Purchasers, their officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, affiliates, investment advisers and employees under the registration statement from certain liabilities and pay all fees and expenses (excluding any legal fees of the selling holder(s), and any underwriting discounts and selling commissions) incident to the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.
The securities issued and sold to the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, or under any state securities laws. The Company relied on this exemption from registration based in part on representations made by the Purchasers. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Form 8-K”), nor the exhibits attached hereto, is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein.
The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the form of Pre-Funded Warrant, the form of Series A Warrant and the form of Series B Warrants, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 to this Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On July 13, 2026, the Company made available a press release announcing the Private Placement and certain corporate updates. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. On July 13, 2026, the Company made available on its website, www.agenusbio.com, a presentation to be used in meetings with investors in July 2026. A copy of the presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K.
The information in Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K, including the information in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and in the presentation attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K, is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Furthermore, the information in Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K, including the information in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and in the presentation attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K, shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in the filings of the Company under the Securities Act.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 13, 2026, in connection with the Private Placement, the Company also announced that it will conduct, and the net proceeds of the Private Placement are expected to support, a strategic prioritization of botensilimab and balstilimab (“BOT+BAL”) for the neoadjuvant treatment of microsatellite-stable (“MSS”) colon cancer, including the advancement of ROBBIN, the Company’s planned registrational Phase 3 neoadjuvant trial in MSS colon cancer. High-risk Stage II and Stage III MSS colon cancer affects an estimated 38,000 patients annually in the United States and more than 200,000 patients worldwide, representing an estimated U.S. addressable market of more than $7 billion, with no new curative-intent therapies approved in more than 20 years.
The ROBBIN clinical trial is a planned randomized global Phase 3 trial evaluating neoadjuvant BOT+BAL followed by standard of care versus standard of care alone in previously untreated high-risk Stage II and Stage III MSS colon cancer. The ROBBIN trial will enroll 850 patients, randomized 1:1, with event free survival (“EFS”) as its primary endpoint. Following interactions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), the Company has aligned on key elements of the Phase 3 trial design, including the patient population, experimental regimen, control arm, primary endpoint, and interim analysis plan.
Across NEST and UNICORN, the Company’s two independent Phase 2 studies evaluating neoadjuvant BOT+BAL in MSS colorectal cancer (“CRC”), the combination treatment has produced deep, durable responses, including pathologic response in approximately 60-70% of patients, major pathologic response (“MPR”) in approximately 35-40% of patients and pathologic complete response (“pCR”) in approximately 30% of patients. Deep pathologic responses (MPR and pCR) in the neoadjuvant setting are positively correlated with event-free survival in many tumor types, including MSS colon cancer. With median follow-up of approximately 9 to 18 months, all treated patients remained disease free. This treatment effect has continued to be observed in further results from NEST and UNICORN, and further details are anticipated to be published later this year. Together with observed circulating tumor DNA (“ctDNA”) clearance during treatment, these data support the Company’s rationale for prioritizing neoadjuvant BOT+BAL development in the registrational ROBBIN trial.
In connection with its strategic prioritization of neoadjuvant BOT+BAL in MSS colon cancer, the Company plans to discontinue financial support for the ongoing BATTMAN Phase 3 study in late-line metastatic MSS CRC. The Company expects to honor its obligations to patients currently receiving treatment and will work closely with the Canadian Cancer Trials Group and participating investigators to manage this transition responsibly.
The Company currently anticipates the following milestones with respect to the ROBBIN trial:
•
The first patient dosed is anticipated to occur in the first quarter of 2027.
•
The announcement of interim pathologic response data is anticipated to occur in the second half of 2027.
•
The announcement of the interim analysis of EFS is anticipated to occur in the second half of 2029.
•
The announcement of the final analysis of EFS is anticipated to occur in the second half of 2030.

Pre-Funded Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “Warrant”) at any time and from time to

the purpose of the foregoing is to subject collectively the Holder and all other Attribution Parties to the Maximum Percentage.
“Closing Sale Price” means, for any security as of any date, the last

If the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any
of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. If the Company and the Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such
security, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall use its good faith judgment to determine the fair market value. The Board of Directors’ determination shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. All such

shall include the initial Holder or, as the case may be, any assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder) from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for
the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
3. Registration of Transfers. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration
rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed
by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws, the Company shall, or will cause its Transfer Agent to,
register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, and payment for all applicable transfer taxes (if any). Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common
Stock in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”) evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee, and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of
this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the
New Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant. The Company shall, or will cause its Transfer Agent to, prepare, issue and deliver at the Company’s own expense any New Warrant under this Section 3. Until
due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the registered Holder hereof as the owner and holder for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
4. Exercise of Warrants.
(a) All or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by this Warrant (including
Section 11) at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date, and such rights shall not expire until exercised in full.
(b) The Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached as Schedule 1
hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless
exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 10 below), and the date on which the last of such items is delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof)
is an “Exercise Date.” The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the
original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares, if any.
3
(c) The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that,
by reason of the provisions of this section, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard
Settlement Period following the Exercise Date), upon the request of the Holder, cause the Transfer Agent to credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified by the Holder in the Exercise Notice and to which the Holder is entitled
pursuant to such exercise (the “Exercise Shares”) to (i) the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian
system or (ii) in book-entry form via a direct registration system (“DRS”) maintained by or on behalf of the Transfer Agent, in each case, so long as either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the
issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder, (B) the Exercise Shares have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement registering the resale of such Warrant Shares by the Holder or (C) the Exercise Shares are eligible for
resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (assuming cashless exercise of this
Warrant). If (A), (B) and (C) above are not true, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to either (i) record the Exercise Shares in the name of the Holder or its designee on the certificates reflecting the Exercise Shares with an
appropriate legend regarding restriction on transferability, which shall be issued and dispatched by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, and on the Company’s share register or (ii) issue such Exercise
Shares in the name of the Holder or its designee in restricted book-entry form in the Company’s share register. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of
record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account, the date of the book entry positions or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such
Exercise Shares, as the case may be.
(b) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the
Transfer Agent to deliver to the Holder or its designee Exercise Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a) within the Standard Settlement Period following the Exercise Date (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete
information provided by the Holder to the Company) and the Holder or the Holder’s broker on its behalf purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the
Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”) but did not receive within the Standard Settlement Period, then the Company shall, within two
(2) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s sole discretion, promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder or its designee the Exercise Shares pursuant to Section 5(a) and pay cash to the Holder in
an amount equal to the excess (if any) of Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased in the Buy-In, less the product of
(A) the number of shares of Common Stock purchased in the Buy-In, times (B) the Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
promptly after the occurrence of a Buy-In, indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In together with applicable confirmations and other
evidence reasonably requested by the Company.
4
(c) To the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 5(b),
the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with and subject to the terms hereof (including the limitations set forth in Section 11 below) are absolute and unconditional, irrespective
of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance
that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Subject to Section 5(b), nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other
remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Exercise Shares; provided, however, that
the Holder shall not be entitled to both (i) require the Company to reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not timely honored and (ii) receive the number of shares of Common
Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 5(a).
6.
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Exercise Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense (excluding any applicable
stamp duties) in respect of the issuance of such shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the registration of any Warrant Shares or the Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant
or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction (in such case) and, in each case, a customary and reasonable contractual indemnity, if requested by the Company. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this
Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.
8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will, at all times while this Warrant is outstanding,
reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of
Warrant Shares that are initially issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and
restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so
5
issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable. The Company will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation,
or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company further covenants that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Holder, take any actions to increase
the par value of the Common Stock at any time while this Warrant is outstanding.
9. Certain Adjustments. The
Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Number of Warrant Shares”) are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its
Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock issued and outstanding on the Original Issue Date and in accordance with the terms of such stock on the Original Issue Date or as amended, that is payable in shares of
Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issues
by reclassification of shares of capital stock any additional shares of Common Stock of the Company, then in each such case the Number of Warrant Shares shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall
become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid on the
date fixed therefor, the Number of Warrant Shares shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual
payment of such dividends. Any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, combination or issuance.
(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If, on or after the Original Issue Date, the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other pro rata
distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property, options,
evidence of indebtedness or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction, but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any distribution of shares of
Common Stock subject to Section 9(a), any distribution of Purchase Rights (as defined below) subject to Section 9(c) and any Fundamental Transaction (as defined below) subject to
Section 9(d)) (a “Distribution”) then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder
had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage (as defined below))
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such
6
record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution; provided, that to the extent that
the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent
(and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times
as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial
Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.
(c) Purchase Rights. If at any time on or after the Original Issue Date, the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible
Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property, in each case pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon
the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any
limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is
taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase
Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of
such Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and at the Holder’s election, in its sole discretion, either (1) such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit
of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right
granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation or (2) the Company shall offer the Holder the right upon
exercise of such Purchase Right to acquire a security (e.g. a pre-funded warrant) that would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage but will otherwise to
the extent possible have economic and other rights, preferences and privileges substantially consistent and on par with the securities or other property issuable upon exercise of the originally offered Purchase Rights). . As used in this
Section 9(c), (i) “Options” means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities and (ii) “Convertible Securities” mean any stock or
securities (other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock.
(d)
Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in which the
stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately after such merger or consolidation, (ii) the
7
Company effects any sale to another Person of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer (whether
by the Company or another Person), holders of capital stock tender shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company and the Company or such other Person, as applicable, accepts such tender for payment,
(iv) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another
Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company (except for any such transaction in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction maintain, in
substantially the same proportions, the voting power of such Person immediately after the transaction) or (v) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) above) (in any such case, a
“Fundamental Transaction”), then following such Fundamental Transaction the Holder shall have the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been
entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (including any
Distributions or Purchase Rights then held in abeyance pursuant to Sections 9(b) or 9(c) above) without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein (the “Alternate Consideration”). The Company shall not
effect any Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the Alternate Consideration includes securities of another Person unless (i) the Alternate Consideration is solely cash and the Company provides for the
simultaneous “cashless exercise” of this Warrant pursuant to Section 10 below or (ii) prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or other Person
(including any purchaser of assets of the Company) shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations
under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (d) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions analogous to a Fundamental Transaction type.
(e) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Number of Warrant Shares pursuant to
Section 9, the Exercise Price shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased Number of Warrant Shares shall be
the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Exercise Price be adjusted below the par value of the Common Stock then in effect.
(f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth of one cent or the nearest share, as applicable.
(g) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the
occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will, at the written request of the Holder, promptly compute such adjustment, in good faith, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant
and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the
transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s
transfer agent.
8
(h) Notice of Corporate Events. If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company
(i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the
Company or any subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice of such transaction at least ten days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or
vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice. In addition, if while this Warrant
is outstanding, the Company authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction contemplated by Section 9(d), other than a Fundamental Transaction
under clause (iii) of Section 9(d), the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice of such Fundamental Transaction at least 30 days prior to the date such Fundamental Transaction is consummated. Holder agrees to
maintain any information disclosed pursuant to this Section 9(h) in confidence until such information is publicly available, and shall comply with applicable law with respect to trading in the Company’s securities
following receipt of any such information.
10. Payment of Exercise Price. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise”, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares in an exchange of
securities effected pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, determined as follows:
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
“X” equals the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;
“Y” equals the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised;
“A” equals the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg Financial Market) as of
the Trading Day on the date immediately preceding the Exercise Date); and
“B” equals the Exercise Price then
in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
9
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged
that the Warrant Shares issued in a “cashless exercise” transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the Original Issue Date
(provided that the Commission continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such exercise). In the event that a registration statement registering the issuance of Warrant Shares is, for any reason, not effective
at the time of exercise of this Warrant, then this Warrant may only be exercised through a cashless exercise, as set forth in this Section 10. If the Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the Company
acknowledges and agrees that, in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Exercise Shares issued in such exercise shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised and may be tacked on to the holding
period of the Warrants being exercised. Except as set forth in Section 5(b) (Buy-In Remedy) and Section 12 (No Fractional Shares), in no event will the
exercise of this Warrant be settled in cash.
11. Limitations on Exercise.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and
the Holder of this Warrant shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant, and any such exercise shall be null and void ab initio and treated as if the exercise had not been made, to the extent that immediately prior to or following
such exercise, the Holder, together with the Attribution Parties, beneficially owns or would beneficially own as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, in excess of [4.99][9.99]%
(the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock that would be issued and outstanding following such exercise. For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership for determining whether the Maximum Percentage is or will be exceeded,
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder together with the Attribution Parties, shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder together with the
Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the relevant Warrant with respect to which the determination is being made but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon
(i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrant held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder or the Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
held and/or beneficially owned by such Holder or any Attribution Party (including, without limitation, any convertible notes, convertible stock or warrants) that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein. For purposes of this Paragraph 11(a), beneficial ownership of the Holder or the Attribution Parties shall, except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, be calculated and determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder of this Warrant may rely on the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other
public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding (such issued and outstanding shares, the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one business
day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The Holder shall disclose to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock that it, together with the Attribution Parties
holds and/or beneficially owns and has the right to acquire through the exercise of derivative securities and any limitations on exercise or conversion
10
analogous to the limitation contained herein contemporaneously or immediately prior to submitting an Exercise Notice for the relevant Warrant. If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the
Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and,
to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s, together with the Attribution Parties’, beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 11(a), to exceed the Maximum
Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and
(ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect
to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and the Attribution Parties since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of Common
Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder, together with the Attribution Parties, being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
(as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s, together with the Attribution Parties’, aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the
“Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder and/or the Attribution Parties shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable
after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. [By written notice to the Company, a Holder of this Warrant may from time to
time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% specified in such notice; provided that any increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered
to the Company and shall not negatively affect any partial exercise effected prior to such change.] [Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Maximum Percentage applicable to the Holder shall be 4.99% and may not be waived,
increased, terminated, or otherwise amended (whether by written notice, agreement, or otherwise), and in no event shall the Maximum Percentage applicable to the Holder exceed 4.99%; provided, however, that the Holder may, by written notice to the
Company, decrease (but not increase) the Maximum Percentage applicable to the Holder, and any such decrease shall be effective immediately upon delivery of such notice to the Company. The limitation set forth in this Section 11(a) may not be
waived by the Holder and shall apply to any successor Holder of this Warrant and to the Attribution Parties.]
(b) This
Section 11 shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder or the Attribution Parties may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such
Holder or the Attribution Parties may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 9(c) of this Warrant. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of
this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder or the Attribution Parties for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, including Rule 16a-1(a)(1). No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect
on the applicability of the provisions of this
11
paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with
the terms of this Section 11 to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this
Section 11 or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this
Warrant.
12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of
this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the next whole number and the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the fair market value (based on
the Closing Sale Price) for any such fractional shares.
13. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or
deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered confirmed e-mail at the e-mail address specified in the books and records of the Transfer Agent prior to 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day
after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via confirmed e-mail at the e-mail address specified in the books and records of the
Transfer Agent on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service specifying next
business day delivery, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the Person to whom such notice is required to be given, if by hand delivery.
14. Warrant Agent. The Company shall initially serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 30 days’ notice to
the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party
or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor
warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
15. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise set forth in this Warrant, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a
holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such
Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock,
consolidation, merger, amalgamation, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to
receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of
the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
12
(b) Further Assurances. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the
Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate or articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or
any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be

2. Issuance of Securities; Registration of Warrants. The Company shall register ownership of this Warrant, upon records
to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder (which shall include the initial Holder or, as the case may be, any assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned
hereunder) from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual
notice to the contrary.
3
3. Registration of Transfers. This Warrant and all rights hereunder
(including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant
substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws, the
Company shall, or will cause its Transfer Agent to, register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, and payment for all applicable transfer taxes (if any). Upon any such
registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrants in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”) evidencing the
portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee, and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by
the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant. The Company shall, or will cause its Transfer Agent to,
prepare, issue and deliver at the Company’s own expense any New Warrant under this Section 3. Until due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the registered Holder hereof as the owner and
holder for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the Termination Date, Holder may not transfer this Warrant, in whole or in part, without simultaneously
transferring to the same transferee (and such transferee accepting all of the rights and obligations in respect of and agreeing to be bound by) a corresponding pro rata portion of that certain Series B Purchase Warrant to Purchase Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrant originally issued on the Initial Exercise Date.
4. Exercise of Warrants.
(a) All or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by this Warrant (including
Section 11) at any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date.
(b) The Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached as Schedule 1
hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of (x) the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised or (y) in lieu thereof, to the
extent the holder is exercising this Warrant for Pre-Funded Warrants, the Pre-Funded Warrant Exercise Price for the number of
Pre-Funded Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which in each case may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice pursuant to
Section 10 below), and the date on which the last of such items is delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The Holder shall not be
required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to
purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants, if any. The delivery by (or on behalf of) the Holder of the Exercise
4
Notice and the applicable Exercise Price as provided above shall constitute the Holder’s certification to the Company that, in the case of an exercise for cash, its representations
contained in Sections 4.1 and 4.3 through 4.14 of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct as of the Exercise Date as if remade in their entirety (or, in the case of any transferee Holder that is not a party to the Purchase Agreement or, in the
case of a cashless exercise, its representations contained in Sections 4.1, 4.3 and 4.14 of the Purchase Agreement, such transferee Holder’s certification to the Company that such representations are true and correct as to such transferee
Holder as of the Exercise Date). The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall
deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within two (2) Trading Days of receipt of such notice.
(c) The Holder and any
assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this section, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants hereunder, the
number of Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants.
(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard
Settlement Period following the Exercise Date), upon the request of the Holder, cause the Transfer Agent to credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified by the Holder in the Exercise Notice and to which the Holder is entitled
pursuant to such exercise (the “Exercise Shares”) to (i) the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian
system or (ii) in book-entry form via a direct registration system (“DRS”) maintained by or on behalf of the Transfer Agent, in each case, so long as either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the
issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder, (B) the Exercise Shares have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement registering the resale of such Warrant Shares by the Holder or (C) the Exercise Shares are eligible for
resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (assuming cashless exercise of this
Warrant). If (A), (B) and (C) above are not true, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to either (i) record the Exercise Shares in the name of the Holder or its designee on the certificates reflecting the Exercise Shares with an
appropriate legend regarding restriction on transferability, which shall be issued and dispatched by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, and on the Company’s share register or (ii) issue such Exercise
Shares in the name of the Holder or its designee in restricted book-entry form in the Company’s share register. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of
record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account, the date of the book entry positions or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such
Exercise Shares, as the case may be.
5
(b) If this Warrant is exercised for Pre-Funded
Warrants, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following the Exercise Date) deliver the
Pre-Funded Warrants to the Holder in certificated form (which may be electronic) and register ownership of the Pre-Funded Warrants in the Warrant Register, in the name
of the Holder. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of the Pre-Funded Warrants as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of any exercise thereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for
all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
(c) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company
fails to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver to the Holder or its designee Exercise Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a) within the Standard Settlement Period following the Exercise Date (other than a failure caused by
incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Holder to the Company) and the Holder or the Holder’s broker on its behalf purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale
by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”) but did not receive within the Standard Settlement Period, then the Company shall,
within two (2) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s sole discretion, promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder or its designee the Exercise Shares pursuant to Section 5(a) and pay cash to the
Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased in the Buy-In, less the product of
(A) the number of shares of Common Stock purchased in the Buy-In, times (B) the Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
promptly after the occurrence of a Buy-In, indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In together with applicable confirmations and other
evidence reasonably requested by the Company.
(d) To the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 5(c),
the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants in accordance with and subject to the terms hereof (including the limitations set forth in
Section 11 below) are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against
any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged
violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants. Subject to Section 5(c), nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Exercise Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants; provided, however, that the Holder shall not be
entitled to both (i) require the Company to reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants for which such exercise was not timely honored and
(ii) receive the number of shares of Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrants that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Sections 5(a) or 5(b), as
applicable.
6
6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Exercise
Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense (excluding any applicable stamp duties) in respect
of the issuance of such shares or Pre-Funded Warrants, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable
in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any Warrant Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants or the Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be
responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to
be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction (in
such case) and, in each case, a customary and reasonable contractual indemnity, if requested by the Company. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the
Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.
8. Reservation of Warrant
Shares. The Company covenants that it will, at all times while this Warrant is outstanding, reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are initially issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other
contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance
and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable. The Company will take all such action as may be
reasonably necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the
Common Stock may be listed. The Company further covenants that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Holder, take any actions to increase the par value of the Common Stock at any time while this Warrant is outstanding.
9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares (and, by extension, Pre-Funded Warrants) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Number of Warrant Shares”) are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this
Section 9.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock issued and outstanding on the Original Issue Date and in accordance with the terms of such stock on the Original Issue
Date or as amended, that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of capital stock any additional shares of Common Stock of the Company, then in each such case the Number of Warrant Shares shall be multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which shall be
7
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid on the date fixed therefor, the Number of
Warrant Shares shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends. Any
adjustment pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, combination or issuance.
(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If, on or after the Original Issue Date, the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other pro rata
distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property, options,
evidence of indebtedness or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction, but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any distribution of shares of
Common Stock subject to Section 9(a), any distribution of Purchase Rights (as defined below) subject to Section 9(c) and any Fundamental Transaction (as defined below) subject to
Section 9(d)) (a “Distribution”) then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder
had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage (as defined below))
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution;
provided, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to
participate in such Distribution to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the
benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any
Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.
(c) Purchase Rights. If at any time on or after the Original Issue Date, the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible
Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property, in each case pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon
the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any
limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is
taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in
8
any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right
to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and at the Holder’s election, in its sole discretion, either (1) such
Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or
times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such
limitation) or (2) the Company shall offer the Holder the right upon exercise of such Purchase Right to acquire a security (e.g. a pre-funded warrant) that would not result in the Holder and the other
Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage but will otherwise to the extent possible have economic and other rights, preferences and privileges substantially consistent and on par with the securities or other property issuable upon
exercise of the originally offered Purchase Rights). As used in this Section 9(c), (i) “Options” means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities and (ii) “Convertible Securities” mean any stock or securities (other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock.
(d) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) the Company effects any merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly, at least 50%
of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately after such merger or consolidation, (ii) the Company effects any sale to another Person of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions,
(iii) pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person), holders of capital stock tender shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company and the Company or such
other Person, as applicable, accepts such tender for payment, (iv) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company (except for any such transaction in which the
stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction maintain, in substantially the same proportions, the voting power of such Person immediately after the transaction) or (v) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common
Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by
Section 9(a) above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then following such Fundamental Transaction the Holder shall have the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount
and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then
issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (including any Distributions or Purchase Rights then held in abeyance pursuant to Sections 9(b) or 9(c) above) without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein (the
“Alternate Consideration”). The Company shall not effect any Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the Alternate Consideration includes securities of another Person unless (i) the
9
Alternate Consideration is solely cash and the Company provides for the simultaneous “cashless exercise” of this Warrant pursuant to Section 10 below or
(ii) prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or other Person (including any purchaser of assets of the Company) shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder such Alternate
Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (d) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions analogous
to a Fundamental Transaction type. If the Company undertakes a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity and the Alternate Consideration includes securities of another Person, then the Company shall provide that, prior
to or simultaneously with the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or other Person (including any purchaser of assets of the Company) shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder such
Alternate Consideration as the Holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and to assume the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (d) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions
analogous of a Fundamental Transaction type.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction that is
(1) a Fundamental Transaction in which the stockholders of the Company receive as consideration solely cash and/or equity securities of a person or entity that are not traded on a national securities exchange, or (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” (as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act) (but in any event, excluding (x) any stock split or reverse stock split, (y) any
transaction effected solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company, or (z) any holding company reorganization or parent-subsidiary merger not requiring stockholder approval pursuant to Sections 251(g) or
253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or any successor provisions thereof)), the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30
days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the
Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s
control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion). “Black
Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for
pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date,
(B) an expected volatility equal to the 50 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any
non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the greater of (x) the last VWAP immediately prior to the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction
and (y) the last VWAP immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the
10
Termination Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Trading Days of the
Holder’s election (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction). The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to
comply with the provisions of this Section 9(d) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a
Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9(d)
pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in
exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor
Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an
exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital
stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for the Company (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental
Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this
Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Section 11 hereof, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the
Company to waive this Section 9(d) to permit a Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Warrant.
(e) Number of
Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Number of Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 9, the Exercise Price shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate
Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased Number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Exercise
Price be adjusted below the par value of the Common Stock then in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, after any such adjustment, the Pre-Funded Warrant Exercise Price shall continue to be the then effective
Exercise Price (after taking into account any adjustments made pursuant to this Section 9) minus $0.01.
(f)
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth of one cent or the nearest share, as applicable.
11
(g) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this
Section 9, the Company at its expense will, at the written request of the Holder, promptly compute such adjustment, in good faith, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such
adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments
and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.
(h) Notice of Corporate Events. If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other
distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary,
(ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company,
then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice of such transaction at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect
to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice. In addition, if while this Warrant is outstanding,
the Company authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction contemplated by Section 9(d), other than a Fundamental Transaction under clause
(iii) of Section 9(d), the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice of such Fundamental Transaction at least thirty (30) days prior to the date such Fundamental Transaction is consummated. Holder agrees to
maintain any information disclosed pursuant to this Section 9(h) in confidence until such information is publicly available, and shall comply with applicable law with respect to trading in the Company’s securities
following receipt of any such information.
(i) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the
Principal Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, reduce the then-current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.
10. Payment of Exercise Price. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event (and only in the
event) that, after the Effectiveness Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), a registration statement registering the resale by the Holder of Warrant Shares is, for any reason, not effective at the time of exercise of this
Warrant, then the Holder may, in its sole discretion, satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price (or, if this Warrant is being exercised for Pre-Funded Warrants, the
Pre-Funded Warrant Exercise Price) through a “cashless exercise”, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares (or
Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable) in an exchange of securities effected pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, determined as follows:
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
12
where:
“X” equals the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder (or the number of
Pre-Funded Warrant Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants to be issued to the Holder, as applicable);
“Y” equals the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised;
“A” equals the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg Financial Market) as of
the Trading Day on the date immediately preceding the Exercise Date; and
“B” equals the Exercise Price then in
effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise (or the Pre-Funded Warrant Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Pre-Funded Warrants at
the time of such exercise, as applicable).
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged
that the Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants issued in a “cashless exercise” transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants shall be deemed to have commenced, on the Original Issue Date (provided that the Commission continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such exercise). If the
Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants are issued in such a cashless exercise, the Company acknowledges and agrees that, in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Exercise Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants issued in such exercise shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised and may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrants being exercised. Except as set
forth in Section 5(c) (Buy-In Remedy) and Section 12 (No Fractional Shares), in no event will the exercise of this Warrant be settled in cash.
11. Limitations on Exercise.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and
the Holder of this Warrant shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant, and any such exercise shall be null and void ab initio and treated as if the exercise had not been made, to the extent that immediately prior to or following
such exercise, the Holder, together with the Attribution Parties, beneficially owns or would beneficially own as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, in excess of [4.99] [9.99]%
(the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock that would be issued and outstanding following such exercise. For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership for determining whether the Maximum Percentage is or will be exceeded,
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder together with the Attribution Parties, shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder together with the
Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the relevant Warrant with respect to which the determination is being made but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon
(i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrant held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder or the Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
held and/or beneficially owned by such Holder or any Attribution Party (including, without limitation, any convertible notes, convertible
13
stock or warrants) that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. For purposes of this Paragraph 11(a), beneficial ownership of
the Holder or the Attribution Parties shall, except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, be calculated and determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this
Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder of this Warrant may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be,
(2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (such issued and outstanding shares, the
“Reported Outstanding Share Number”). For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one business day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The Holder shall disclose to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock that it, together with the Attribution Parties holds and/or beneficially owns and has the right to acquire through the
exercise of derivative securities and any limitations on exercise or conversion analogous to the limitation contained herein contemporaneously or immediately prior to submitting an Exercise Notice for the relevant Warrant. If the Company receives an
Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common
Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s, together with the Attribution Parties’, beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 11(a),
to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction
Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and the Attribution Parties since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event
that the issuance of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder, together with the Attribution Parties, being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s, together with the Attribution Parties’, aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the
Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder and/or the Attribution Parties shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as
reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. [By written notice to the Company, a Holder of this
Warrant may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% specified in such notice; provided that any increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the 61st day after
such notice is delivered to the Company and shall not negatively affect any partial exercise effected prior to such change.] [Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Maximum Percentage applicable to the Holder shall be 4.99%
and may not be waived, increased, terminated, or otherwise amended (whether by written notice,
14
agreement, or otherwise), and in no event shall the Maximum Percentage applicable to the Holder exceed 4.99%; provided, however, that the Holder may, by written notice to the Company, decrease
(but not increase) the Maximum Percentage applicable to the Holder, and any such decrease shall be effective immediately upon delivery of such notice to the Company. The limitation set forth in this Section 11(a) may not be waived by the Holder
and shall apply to any successor Holder of this Warrant and to the Attribution Parties.]
(b) This Section 11
shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder or the Attribution Parties may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder or the Attribution Parties may
receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 9(c) of this Warrant. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum
Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder or the Attribution Parties for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder or Section 16 of the Exchange
Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, including Rule 16a-1(a)(1). No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this
paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 11
to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 11 or to make changes or
supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant,
and no Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase fractional Pre-Funded Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional
shares (or Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase fractional shares, as applicable) that would otherwise be issuable, the number of Warrant Shares (or the number of Pre-Funded
Warrant Shares underlying a Pre-Funded Warrant, as applicable) to be issued shall be rounded down to the next whole number and the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the fair market value (based on the
Closing Sale Price) for any such fractional shares.
13. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or
deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered confirmed e-mail at the e-mail address specified in the books and records of the Transfer Agent prior to 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day
after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via confirmed e-mail at the e-mail address specified in the books and records of the
Transfer Agent on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service specifying next
business day delivery, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the Person to whom such notice is required to be given, if by hand delivery.
15
14. Warrant Agent. The Company shall initially serve as warrant agent
under this Warrant. Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the
Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this
Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the
Warrant Register.
15. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise set forth in this Warrant, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a
holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such
Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock,
consolidation, merger, amalgamation, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to
receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of
the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
(b) Further Assurances. Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate or articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such
terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase
the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any
public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this
Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
16
(c) Successors and Assigns. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws,
this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may not be assigned by the Company without the written consent of the Holder, except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction. This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the
benefit of the Company and the Holder and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable
right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant.
(d) Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions
of this Warrant may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holder.
(e) Acceptance. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions
contained herein.
(f) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND
INTERPRETATION OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THEREOF. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR

JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR
CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PERSON AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF. NOTHING CONTAINED
HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
(g) Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit
or affect any of the provisions hereof.
(h) Severability. If any part or provision of this Warrant is held unenforceable or in
conflict with the applicable laws or regulations of any jurisdiction, the invalid or unenforceable part or provisions shall be replaced with a provision which accomplishes, to the extent possible, the original business purpose of such part or
provision in a valid and enforceable manner, and the remainder of this Warrant shall remain binding upon the parties hereto.

2. Issuance of Securities; Registration of Warrants. The Company shall
register ownership of this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder (which shall include the initial Holder or, as the case may be, any
assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder) from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
3. Registration of Transfers. This Warrant
and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written
assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Subject to compliance with all
applicable securities laws, the Company shall, or will cause its Transfer Agent to, register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, and payment for all applicable transfer taxes
(if any). Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrants in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New
Warrant”) evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee, and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.
The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant. The Company shall, or
will cause its Transfer Agent to, prepare, issue and deliver at the Company’s own expense any New Warrant under this Section 3. Until due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the registered
Holder hereof as the owner and holder for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. SERIES B: Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the “Termination Date” (as such term
is defined in the Series A Purchase Warrant), Holder may not transfer this Warrant, in whole or in part, without simultaneously transferring to the same transferee (and such transferee accepting all of the rights and obligations in respect of and
agreeing to be bound by) a corresponding pro rata portion of the Series A Purchase Warrant.
4. Exercise of Warrants.
(a) All or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by this Warrant (including
Section 11) at any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date.
(b) The Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached as Schedule 1
hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of (x) the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised or (y) in lieu thereof, to the
extent the holder is exercising this Warrant for Pre-Funded Warrants, the Pre-Funded Warrant Exercise Price for the number of
Pre-Funded Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which in each case may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice pursuant to
Section 10 below), and the date on which the last of such items is delivered to the Company (as determined
4
in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise
hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants, if any. The delivery by (or on behalf of) the Holder of the Exercise Notice and the applicable Exercise Price as provided above shall constitute the Holder’s certification to the Company
that, in the case of an exercise for cash, its representations contained in Sections 4.1 and 4.3 through 4.14 of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct as of the Exercise Date as if remade in their entirety (or, in the case of any transferee
Holder that is not a party to the Purchase Agreement or, in the case of a cashless exercise, its representations contained in Sections 4.1, 4.3 and 4.14 of the Purchase Agreement, such transferee Holder’s certification to the Company that such
representations are true and correct as to such transferee Holder as of the Exercise Date). The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants
purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within two (2) Trading Days of receipt of such notice.
(c) The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this section,
following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants available for purchase
hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants.
(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but
in no event later than the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following the Exercise Date), upon the request of the Holder, cause the Transfer Agent to credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified by
the Holder in the Exercise Notice and to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise (the “Exercise Shares”) to (i) the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system or (ii) in book-entry form via a direct registration system (“DRS”) maintained by or on behalf of the Transfer Agent, in each case, so long as
either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder, (B) the Exercise Shares have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement registering the resale of such
Warrant Shares by the Holder or (C) the Exercise Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act (assuming cashless exercise of this Warrant). If (A), (B) and (C) above are not true, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to either (i) record the Exercise Shares in the name of the Holder or its
designee on the certificates reflecting the Exercise Shares with an appropriate legend regarding restriction on transferability, which shall be issued and dispatched by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, and on the
Company’s share register or (ii) issue such Exercise Shares in the name of the Holder or its designee in restricted book-entry form in the Company’s share register. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive
Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account, the date of the book entry positions or
the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Exercise Shares, as the case may be.
5
(b) If this Warrant is exercised for Pre-Funded
Warrants, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following the Exercise Date) deliver the
Pre-Funded Warrants to the Holder in certificated form (which may be electronic) and register ownership of the Pre-Funded Warrants in the Warrant Register, in the name
of the Holder. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of the Pre-Funded Warrants as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of any exercise thereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for
all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
(c) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company
fails to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver to the Holder or its designee Exercise Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a) within the Standard Settlement Period following the Exercise Date (other than a failure caused by
incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Holder to the Company) and the Holder or the Holder’s broker on its behalf purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale
by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”) but did not receive within the Standard Settlement Period, then the Company shall,
within two (2) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s sole discretion, promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder or its designee the Exercise Shares pursuant to Section 5(a) and pay cash to the
Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased in the Buy-In, less the product of
(A) the number of shares of Common Stock purchased in the Buy-In, times (B) the Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
promptly after the occurrence of a Buy-In, indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In together with applicable confirmations and other
evidence reasonably requested by the Company.
(d) To the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 5(c),
the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants in accordance with and subject to the terms hereof (including the limitations set forth in
Section 11 below) are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against
any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged
violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants. Subject to Section 5(c), nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Exercise Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants; provided, however, that the Holder shall not be
entitled to both (i) require the Company to reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants for which such exercise was not timely honored and
(ii) receive the number of shares of Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrants that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Sections 5(a) or 5(b), as
applicable.
6
6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Exercise
Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense (excluding any applicable stamp duties) in respect
of the issuance of such shares or Pre-Funded Warrants, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable
in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any Warrant Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants or the Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be
responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to
be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction (in
such case) and, in each case, a customary and reasonable contractual indemnity, if requested by the Company. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the
Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.
8. Reservation of Warrant
Shares. The Company covenants that it will, at all times while this Warrant is outstanding, reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are initially issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other
contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance
and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable. The Company will take all such action as may be
reasonably necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the
Common Stock may be listed. The Company further covenants that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Holder, take any actions to increase the par value of the Common Stock at any time while this Warrant is outstanding.
9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares (and, by extension, Pre-Funded Warrants) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Number of Warrant Shares”) are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this
Section 9.
7
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock issued and outstanding on the Original Issue Date and in accordance with the terms of such stock on the Original Issue
Date or as amended, that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of capital stock any additional shares of Common Stock of the Company, then in each such case the Number of Warrant Shares shall be multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, provided, however, that if such record date shall have
been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid on the date fixed therefor, the Number of Warrant Shares shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted
pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends. Any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, combination
or issuance.
(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If, on or after the Original Issue Date, the Company shall declare or make any dividend
or other pro rata distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities,
property, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction, but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any
distribution of shares of Common Stock subject to Section 9(a), any distribution of Purchase Rights (as defined below) subject to Section 9(c) and any Fundamental Transaction (as defined
below) subject to Section 9(d)) (a “Distribution”) then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated
therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum
Percentage (as defined below)) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation
in such Distribution; provided, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder
shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be
held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such
Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.
(c) Purchase Rights. If at any time on or after the Original Issue Date, the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible
Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property, in each case pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon
the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have
8
acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this
Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of
Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other
Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Common Stock as a result of such Purchase
Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and at the Holder’s election, in its sole discretion, either (1) such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its
right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase
Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation) or (2) the Company shall offer the Holder the right upon exercise of such Purchase Right to acquire a
security (e.g. a pre-funded warrant) that would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage but will otherwise to the extent possible have economic and other
rights, preferences and privileges substantially consistent and on par with the securities or other property issuable upon exercise of the originally offered Purchase Rights). As used in this Section 9(c), (i)
“Options” means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities and (ii) “Convertible Securities” mean any stock or securities (other than Options) directly or
indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock.
(d) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any
time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in which the stockholders of the Company immediately
prior to such merger or consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately after such merger or consolidation, (ii) the Company effects any sale to another Person of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person), holders of capital stock tender shares representing more than 50% of
the voting power of the capital stock of the Company and the Company or such other Person, as applicable, accepts such tender for payment, (iv) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without
limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company
(except for any such transaction in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction maintain, in substantially the same proportions, the voting power of such Person immediately after the transaction) or (v) the
Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision
or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then following such Fundamental Transaction the Holder shall have the right to
receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental
9
Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (including any
Distributions or Purchase Rights then held in abeyance pursuant to Sections 9(b) or 9(c) above) without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein (the “Alternate Consideration”). The Company shall not
effect any Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the Alternate Consideration includes securities of another Person unless (i) the Alternate Consideration is solely cash and the Company provides for the
simultaneous “cashless exercise” of this Warrant pursuant to Section 10 below or (ii) prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or other Person
(including any purchaser of assets of the Company) shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations
under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (d) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions analogous to a Fundamental Transaction type. If the Company undertakes a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving
entity and the Alternate Consideration includes securities of another Person, then the Company shall provide that, prior to or simultaneously with the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or
other Person (including any purchaser of assets of the Company) shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder such Alternate Consideration as the Holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and to assume the
other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (d) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions analogous of a Fundamental Transaction type.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction that is (1) a Fundamental Transaction in which the
stockholders of the Company receive as consideration solely cash and/or equity securities of a person or entity that are not traded on a national securities exchange, or (2) a “Rule 13e-3
transaction” (as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act) (but in any event, excluding (x) any stock split or reverse stock split, (y) any transaction effected solely for the purpose of
changing the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company, or (z) any holding company reorganization or parent-subsidiary merger not requiring stockholder approval pursuant to Sections 251(g) or 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware (or any successor provisions thereof)), the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental
Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the
remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the
Company’s Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion). “Black Scholes Value” means the value
of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting
(A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility
equal to the 50 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction,
(C) the underlying
10
price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any
non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the greater of (x) the last VWAP immediately prior to the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction
and (y) the last VWAP immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the
Termination Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Trading Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the effective date of
the Fundamental Transaction). The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 9(d) and
insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor
(the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity
evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of
Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to
such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock
and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the
occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for the Company (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the
“Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had
been named as the Company herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Section 11 hereof, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 9(d) to permit a Fundamental
Transaction without the assumption of this Warrant.
(e) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Number
of Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 9, the Exercise Price shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased Number
of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Exercise Price be adjusted below the par value of the Common Stock then in effect.
For the avoidance of doubt, after any such adjustment, the Pre-Funded Warrant Exercise Price shall continue to be the then effective Exercise Price (after taking into account any adjustments made pursuant to
this Section 9) minus $0.01.
11
(f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9
shall be made to the nearest one-tenth of one cent or the nearest share, as applicable.
(g)
Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will, at the written request of the Holder, promptly compute such adjustment, in good faith, in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the
Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.
(h) Notice of Corporate Events. If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the
Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of
the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice of such transaction at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to
participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice. In addition, if
while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction contemplated by Section 9(d), other than a
Fundamental Transaction under clause (iii) of Section 9(d), the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice of such Fundamental Transaction at least thirty (30) days prior to the date such Fundamental Transaction
is consummated. Holder agrees to maintain any information disclosed pursuant to this Section 9(h) in confidence until such information is publicly available, and shall comply with applicable law with respect to trading in
the Company’s securities following receipt of any such information.
(i) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. Subject to the
rules and regulations of the Principal Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, reduce the then-current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the
Company.
10. Payment of Exercise Price. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event (and
only in the event) that, after the Effectiveness Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), a registration statement registering the resale by the Holder of Warrant Shares is, for any reason, not effective at the time of exercise of
this Warrant, then the Holder may, in its sole discretion, satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price (or, if this Warrant is being exercised for Pre-Funded Warrants, the
Pre-Funded Warrant Exercise Price) through a “cashless exercise”, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares (or
Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable) in an exchange of securities effected pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, determined as follows:
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
12
where:
“X” equals the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder (or the number of
Pre-Funded Warrant Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants to be issued to the Holder, as applicable);
“Y” equals the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised;
“A” equals the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg Financial Market) as of
the Trading Day on the date immediately preceding the Exercise Date; and
“B” equals the Exercise Price then in
effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise (or the Pre-Funded Warrant Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Pre-Funded Warrants at
the time of such exercise, as applicable).
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged
that the Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants issued in a “cashless exercise” transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants shall be deemed to have commenced, on the Original Issue Date (provided that the Commission continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such exercise). If the
Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants are issued in such a cashless exercise, the Company acknowledges and agrees that, in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Exercise Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants issued in such exercise shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised and may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrants being exercised. Except as set
forth in Section 5(c) (Buy-In Remedy) and Section 12 (No Fractional Shares), in no event will the exercise of this Warrant be settled in cash.
11. Limitations on Exercise.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and
the Holder of this Warrant shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant, and any such exercise shall be null and void ab initio and treated as if the exercise had not been made, to the extent that immediately prior to or following
such exercise, the Holder, together with the Attribution Parties, beneficially owns or would beneficially own as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, in excess of [4.99] [9.99]%
(the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock that would be issued and outstanding following such exercise. For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership for determining whether the Maximum Percentage is or will be exceeded,
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder together with the Attribution Parties, shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder together with the
Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the relevant Warrant with respect to which the determination is being made but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would
13
be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrant held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder or the Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the
unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company held and/or beneficially owned by such Holder or any Attribution Party (including, without limitation, any convertible notes, convertible stock or warrants) that are subject
to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. For purposes of this Paragraph 11(a), beneficial ownership of the Holder or the Attribution Parties shall, except as set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence, be calculated and determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder
of this Warrant may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current
Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company
or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (such issued and outstanding shares, the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). For any reason at any time, upon the written or
oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one business day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The Holder shall disclose to the Company the number of
shares of Common Stock that it, together with the Attribution Parties holds and/or beneficially owns and has the right to acquire through the exercise of derivative securities and any limitations on exercise or conversion analogous to the limitation
contained herein contemporaneously or immediately prior to submitting an Exercise Notice for the relevant Warrant. If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is
less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s,
together with the Attribution Parties’, beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 11(a), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to
be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise
price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the
Holder and the Attribution Parties since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder, together with the
Attribution Parties, being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so
issued by which the Holder’s, together with the Attribution Parties’, aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio,
and the Holder and/or the Attribution Parties shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the
Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. [By written notice to the Company, a Holder of this Warrant may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99%
specified in such notice; provided that any increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be
14
effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall not negatively affect any partial exercise effected prior to such change.] [Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the Maximum Percentage applicable to the Holder shall be 4.99% and may not be waived, increased, terminated, or otherwise amended (whether by written notice, agreement, or otherwise), and in no event shall the Maximum
Percentage applicable to the Holder exceed 4.99%; provided, however, that the Holder may, by written notice to the Company, decrease (but not increase) the Maximum Percentage applicable to the Holder, and any such decrease shall be effective
immediately upon delivery of such notice to the Company. The limitation set forth in this Section 11(a) may not be waived by the Holder and shall apply to any successor Holder of this Warrant and to the Attribution Parties.]
(b) This Section 11 shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder or the Attribution
Parties may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder or the Attribution Parties may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in
Section 9(c) of this Warrant. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder
or the Attribution Parties for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, including Rule 16a-1(a)(1). No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of
exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 11 to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any
portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 11 or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give
effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant,
and no Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase fractional Pre-Funded Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional
shares (or Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase fractional shares, as applicable) that would otherwise be issuable, the number of Warrant Shares (or the number of Pre-Funded
Warrant Shares underlying a Pre-Funded Warrant, as applicable) to be issued shall be rounded down to the next whole number and the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the fair market value (based on the
Closing Sale Price) for any such fractional shares.
13. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or
deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered confirmed e-mail at the e-mail address specified in the books and records of the Transfer Agent prior to 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day
after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via confirmed e-mail at the e-mail address specified in the books and records of the
Transfer Agent on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service specifying next
business day delivery, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the Person to whom such notice is required to be given, if by hand delivery.
15
14. Warrant Agent. The Company shall initially serve as warrant agent
under this Warrant. Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the
Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this
Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the
Warrant Register.
15. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise set forth in this Warrant, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a
holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such
Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock,
consolidation, merger, amalgamation, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to
receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of
the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
(b) Further Assurances. Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate or articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such
terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase
the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any
public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this
Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
16
(c) Successors and Assigns. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws,
this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may not be assigned by the Company without the written consent of the Holder, except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction. This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the
benefit of the Company and the Holder and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable
right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant.
(d) Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions
of this Warrant may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holder.
(e) Acceptance. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions
contained herein.
(f) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND
INTERPRETATION OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THEREOF. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY

CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PERSON AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF. NOTHING CONTAINED
HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
(g) Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit
or affect any of the provisions hereof.
17
(h) Severability. If any part or provision of this Warrant is held unenforceable or
in conflict with the applicable laws or regulations of any jurisdiction, the invalid or unenforceable part or provisions shall be replaced with a provision which accomplishes, to the extent possible, the original business purpose of such part or
provision in a valid and enforceable manner, and the remainder of this Warrant shall remain binding upon the parties hereto.

existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and described in the SEC Reports and is qualified to
do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification, except where such failure to be in good standing or to have such power and authority or to so qualify would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company’s subsidiaries is (i) duly incorporated and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has the requisite
power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and to own or lease its properties and (ii) qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required,
except in each case as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

disclosure of its authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock in the SEC Reports containing such disclosure was accurate in all material respects as of the date indicated in such SEC Reports. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. None of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company were issued in violation of any preemptive or other
similar rights of any securityholder of the Company which have not been waived, and such shares were issued in compliance in all material respects with applicable state and federal securities law and any rights of third parties.
3.3 Registration Rights. Except as set forth in the Transaction Agreements or as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company is presently

that have expired or been satisfied or waived.

enter into the Transaction Agreements and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of the Transaction Agreements, including the issuance and sale of the Securities and the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable, directly or
indirectly, upon exercise of each of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants (collectively, the “Warrant Shares”). All corporate action on the part of the
Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization of the Shares and the Warrant Shares, the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated herein, including the issuance and sale of the Securities and the Warrant Shares, has been taken. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by each
Investor of this Agreement and that this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of each Investor, this Agreement and each of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Series A Warrants and the Series
B Warrants constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar
laws relating to or affecting creditors generally or by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Upon its execution by the Company and the other parties thereto and
assuming that it constitutes legal, valid and binding agreements of the other parties thereto, the Registration Rights Agreement will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with
its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors generally or by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

non-assessable and will be issued free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those as provided in the Transaction Agreements or restrictions on transfer under applicable state and federal
securities laws), and the holder of the Shares shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. The Warrant Shares have been duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon issuance pursuant to the terms of each
of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of such Pre-Funded Warrants,
Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will be issued free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those as provided in the
Transaction Agreements or restrictions on transfer under applicable state and federal securities laws), and the holder of the Warrant Shares shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. The issuance and delivery of the
Shares and the Warrants does not, and the exercise in full of the Warrants and the issuance and delivery of the Warrant Shares thereupon will not, (a) obligate the Company to offer to issue, or issue, shares of Common Stock or other securities
to any Person (other than the Investors) pursuant to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, rights of participation or similar rights, or (b) result in any adjustment (automatic, at the election of any Person or otherwise) of the
exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under, or any other anti-dilution adjustment pursuant to, any outstanding securities of the Company. Subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Investors in
Section 4, the offer and sale of the Securities to the Investors is and will be in compliance with applicable exemptions from (i) the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and

cancellation or acceleration of any obligation, a change of control right or to a loss of a benefit under any agreement or instrument, credit facility, franchise, license, judgment, order, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulations, applicable to
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to
which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) and the rules and regulations of any self-regulatory organization to which the Company or its securities are subject, or by which
any property or asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or affected, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), as would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse

Investor set forth in Section 4 hereof, no consent, approval, authorization, filing with or order of or registration with, any court or governmental agency or body is required in connection with the authorization, execution

SEC (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such filing), each of the filed SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, and, as of the
time they were filed, none of the filed SEC Reports contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. There are no outstanding or unresolved comments from the SEC staff with respect to the SEC Reports. To the Company’s knowledge, none of the SEC Reports are the subject of an ongoing SEC
review. The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included in the SEC Reports fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and has been prepared in accordance with the SEC’s rules and guidelines
applicable thereto. The Company is not, and has never been, an issuer subject to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act.

indicated, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods therein specified, and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis
throughout the periods therein specified (except as otherwise noted therein, and in the case of unaudited financial statements, as

or in the aggregate, have had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.9 Absence of Changes. Since

entered into that has not been disclosed in the SEC Reports; and (c) there has not been any other event or condition of any character that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that none
of the following will be deemed in themselves, either alone or in combination, to constitute, and that (solely for purposes of this Section 3.9) none of the following will be taken into account in determining whether there

material changes in laws after the date of this Agreement; and
(vii)
in and of itself, any material failure by the Company to meet any published or internally prepared estimates of
revenues, expenses, earnings or other economic performance for any period ending on or after the date of this Agreement (it being understood that the facts and circumstances giving rise to such failure may be deemed to constitute, and may be taken
into account in determining whether there has been, a Material Adverse Effect to the extent that such facts and circumstances are not otherwise described in clauses (i)-(v) of this definition).
3.10 Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, claim, investigation, charge, complaint or inquiry

such federal, state or local government or governmental agency, department or body that are currently necessary for the operation of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries as currently conducted, except where the failure to possess
currently such Governmental Authorizations has not had and is not reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary has received any written (or, to the Company’s knowledge, oral) notice regarding
any revocation or material modification of any such Governmental Authorization, which, individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, has or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.
12
3.12 Intellectual Property. The Company and its subsidiaries own, or have rights to
use, all material inventions, patent applications, patents, trademarks, trade names, service names, service marks, copyrights, trade secrets, know how (including unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary of confidential information, systems or
procedures) and other intellectual property as described in the SEC Reports necessary for, or used in the conduct of their respective businesses (including as described in the SEC Reports) (collectively, “Intellectual Property”),
except where any failure to own, possess or acquire such Intellectual Property has not had, and would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Intellectual Property of the Company and its
subsidiaries has not been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. To the Company’s knowledge: (i) there are no third parties who have rights to any Intellectual Property,
including no liens, security interests, or other encumbrances; and (ii) there is no infringement by third parties of any Intellectual Property, except, in each case, which, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No action, suit, or other proceeding is pending, or, to the Company’s knowledge, is threatened: (A) challenging the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ rights in or to any Intellectual
Property; (B) challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of any Intellectual Property; or (C) alleging that the Company or any of its subsidiaries infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any patent, trademark, trade name,
service name, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary rights of others, except, in each case, which, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its
subsidiaries have complied in all material respects with the terms of each agreement pursuant to which Intellectual Property has been licensed to the Company or any of its subsidiaries in all material respects, and to the Company’s knowledge
all such agreements are in full force and effect. To the Company’s knowledge, there are no material defects in any of the patents or patent applications included in the Intellectual Property. The Company and its subsidiaries have taken all
reasonable steps to protect, maintain and safeguard their Intellectual Property.

to comply that are not reasonably likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no labor dispute, strike or work stoppage against the Company or its subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
threatened which may interfere with the business activities of the Company, except where such dispute, strike or work stoppage is not reasonably likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

required to have been filed under applicable law (or extensions have been duly obtained) and have paid all Taxes required to have been paid by them, except for those which are being contested in good faith and except where failure to file such Tax
Returns or pay such Taxes would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No assessment in connection with United States federal tax returns has been made against the Company. The charges,
accruals and reserves on the
13
books of the Company in respect of any income and corporation tax liability for any years not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments or reassessments for additional income tax
for any years not finally determined, except to the extent of any inadequacy that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. No audits, examinations, or other proceedings with respect to any material amounts of Taxes of the Company and its
subsidiaries are presently in progress or have been asserted or proposed in writing without subsequently being paid, settled or withdrawn. There are no liens on any of the assets of the Company. At all times since inception, the Company has been and

business and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval, except where such noncompliance with Environmental Laws, failure to receive required permits, licenses or other approvals or failure to
comply with the terms and conditions of such permits, licenses or approvals would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received since
January 1, 2026, any written notice or other communication (in writing or otherwise), whether from a governmental authority or other Person, that alleges that the Company or any subsidiary is not in compliance with any Environmental Law, except
where such noncompliance with Environmental Laws would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and, to the knowledge of the Company, there are no circumstances that may prevent or interfere
with the Company’s or any subsidiary’s compliance in any material respects with any Environmental Law in the future, except where such failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge
of the Company: (i) no current or (during the time a prior property was leased or controlled by the Company) prior property leased or controlled by the Company or any subsidiary has received since January 1, 2026, any written notice or
other communication relating to property owned or leased at any time by the Company, whether from a governmental authority, or other Person, that alleges that such current or prior owner or the Company or any subsidiary is not in compliance with or

documented attorney fees and disbursements and other documented out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any
action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement thereof) to which such Person may become subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to be performed on the part of
the Company under the Transaction Agreements, and will reimburse any such Person for all such amounts as they are incurred by such Person solely to the extent such amounts have been finally judicially determined not to have resulted from such

notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided

failure of any indemnified party to give written notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its

directorships as members of the Designee Class, each to serve until the annual meeting of stockholders at which the Designee Class next stands for election and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, subject to
Section 5.12(j) below.

necessary and within its control to ensure that the Lead Investor Designee is serving as a member of the Board at all times, including:

efforts to cause the election of the Lead Investor Designee, including by soliciting proxies for, and voting all proxies received in favor of, the Lead Investor Designees (in each case in the same manner in which it supports its other nominees),
except to the extent otherwise required by the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors under applicable law; provided that if the Board is declassified, the Company shall thereafter take the actions set forth in this
Section 5.12(c)(ii) at each annual or special meeting of stockholders (or in connection with each solicitation of written consents) at which directors are elected; and

Board) that would, or would reasonably be expected to, impair, circumvent, or otherwise adversely affect the Lead Investor’s rights under this Section 5.12 or cause the Lead Investor Designees to cease serving on the
Board of Directors prior to the end of their respective terms, in each case without the prior written consent of the Lead Investor.
(d)
Vacancies. If a Lead Investor Designee ceases to serve as a director for any reason (including death, resignation, disqualification, or removal) prior to the expiration of his or her term, and the Lead Investor continues to satisfy the
Designation Threshold at such time, the Company shall, subject to Section 5.12(e) and in accordance with Section 223 of the DGCL, take all action necessary and within its control to cause the resulting vacancy in the Designee Class to
be filled with a replacement individual designated in writing by the Investor as promptly as practicable following such designation, such that no Lead Investor Designee seat remains vacant for longer than is reasonably necessary to effect the
appointment.
29
(e) Qualifications. The Company’s obligations under this
Section 5.12 with respect to any Lead Investor Designee are subject to such Lead Investor Designee (i) satisfying all qualification, eligibility, and suitability requirements applicable to directors of the Company
under applicable law, the listing rules of Nasdaq (including, if and to the extent required for such Lead Investor Designee to be seated in the capacity contemplated, applicable director independence requirements), and the Company’s corporate
governance guidelines, director qualification standards, and codes of conduct, in each case as generally applied to all non-management directors; (ii) not being subject to any event that would be required
to be disclosed under Item 2(d) or 2(e) of Schedule 13D or that constitutes a disqualifying event under Rule 506(d)(1) under the Securities Act; and (iii) timely completing the Company’s standard director and officer questionnaire and
providing such other information reasonably requested by the Company and generally required of all directors. If a proposed Lead Investor Designee fails to satisfy the foregoing, the Company shall promptly so notify the Investor and shall not be
required to take the actions described in this Section 5.12 with respect to such individual, in which case the Lead Investor shall be entitled to designate a replacement individual for consideration on the same terms.
(f) Indemnification; D&O Insurance. The Company shall provide the Lead Investor Designee, in his or her capacity as a director,
with the same rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, and the same directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage, that the Company provides to its other non-management
directors, and the Lead Investor Designee shall be entitled to enter into the Company’s standard form of director indemnification agreement.
(g) Delaware Authorization. The Company acknowledges and agrees that this Section 5.12, including the
covenants regarding the size and composition of the Board, constitutes an agreement between the Company and a current stockholder in its capacity as such, authorized by Section 122(18) of the DGCL, and the Company shall not take any position
inconsistent with the validity or enforceability of this Section 5.12 under the DGCL. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.12 limits the right of the Company’s stockholders
to remove any director for cause in accordance with Section 141(k) of the DGCL and the Company’s organizational documents.

the survival or expiration of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements of the parties, or any “entire agreement” or integration provision), the covenants and agreements set forth in this

Lead Investor informing the Company that the Lead Investor has unilaterally surrendered its rights under this Section 5.12. Upon termination, the Lead Investor shall, if requested by the Company in writing, use reasonable
best efforts to cause the then-serving Lead Investor Designee to resign from the Board and any committee thereof, effective as of such termination.
30
(j) Specific Performance. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Lead Investor
would be irreparably harmed by any breach of this Section 5.12, that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach, and that, accordingly, the Lead Investor shall be entitled to specific performance
and injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce this Section 5.12, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, without any requirement to post a bond or other security or to prove
actual damages.

for borrowed money of the Company prior to its stated maturity or scheduled due date.

(vi) agrees that to the extent that such party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal
process with respect to itself or its property, such party hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law; and
(vii) irrevocably and unconditionally waives trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding in relation to this Agreement.
36
8.6 Waiver. No waiver of any term, provision or condition of this Agreement, whether
by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or be construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision or condition or as a waiver of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement.
8.7 Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Agreements to the contrary, each party shall pay its own out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including the fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and consultants employed by such party, incurred in connection with the proposed
investment in the Securities and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however, that the Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees (including, without limitation, any fees required for
same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company), stamp taxes and other taxes (other than income taxes) and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the
Investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of McDermott Will & Schulte LLP, counsel to the Lead Investor, in an amount not to exceed $200,000 in the aggregate.
8.8 Assignment. None of the parties may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement or designate another person (i) to
perform all or part of its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) to have all or part of its rights and benefits under this Agreement, in each case without the prior written consent of (x) the Company, in the case of an Investor, and
(y) the Investors, in the case of the Company, provided that an Investor may, without the prior consent of the Company, assign its rights to purchase the Securities hereunder to any of its Affiliates or to any other investment funds or accounts
managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of such Investor (provided each such assignee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and makes the same representations and warranties set forth in
Section 4). In the event of any assignment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the assignee shall specifically assume and be bound by the provisions of this Agreement by executing a writing agreeing to be bound
by and subject to the provisions of this Agreement and shall deliver an executed counterpart signature page to this Agreement and, notwithstanding such assumption or agreement to be bound hereby by an assignee, no such assignment shall relieve any
party assigning any interest hereunder from its obligations or liability pursuant to this Agreement.
8.9 Confidential Information.
(a) Each Investor covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any material non-public information provided to such Investor are publicly disclosed by the Company, such Investor will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including
the existence and terms of this transaction), other than to such Investor’s outside attorney, accountant, auditor or investment advisor only to the extent necessary to permit evaluation of the investment, and the performance of the necessary
or required tax, accounting, financial, legal, or administrative tasks and services and other than as may be required by law.
37
(b) The Company may request from the Investors such reasonable and customary additional
information as the Company may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Securities, and the Investor shall promptly provide such information as may reasonably be requested to the extent readily available; provided,
that the Company agrees to keep any such information provided by the Investor confidential, except (i) as required by the federal securities laws, rules or regulations and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by other laws, rules
or regulations, at the request of the staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the regulations of Nasdaq. The Investor acknowledges that the Company may file a copy of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement with the SEC as
exhibit to a periodic report or a registration statement of the Company.
8.10 Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or
implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any rights, remedies, claims, benefits, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, and no Person that is not a party to this Agreement
(including, without limitation, any partner, member, shareholder, director, officer, employee or other beneficial owner of any party to this Agreement, in its own capacity as such or in bringing a derivative action on behalf of a party to this
Agreement) shall have any standing as a third party beneficiary with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
8.11 Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Right. The obligations of each Investor under this
Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance obligations of any other Investor under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken
by any Investor pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group, and the Company will not assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company acknowledges and each
Investor confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Investor also acknowledges that Latham & Watkins LLP has not rendered
legal advice to such Investor. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be
joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company has elected to provide all Investors with the same terms and Transaction Agreements for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do
so by any Investor.
8.12 Headings. The titles, subtitles and headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall
not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
8.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile or pdf signature
including any electronic signatures complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were
an original, not a facsimile or pdf (or other electronic reproduction of a) signature.
38
8.14 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction
Agreements (including all schedules and exhibits hereto and thereto), together with any side letter agreements with any of the Investors, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto respecting the subject matter of this Agreement and
supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations, understandings, representations and statements respecting the subject matter of this Agreement, whether written or oral. No amendment, modification, alteration, or change in any of the terms of this
Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the parties hereto unless made in writing and duly executed by the Company and the Investors of at least a majority in interest of the Securities then held by the Investors, provided that prior to the Closing
the consent of all Investors shall be required Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may not be waived with respect to any Investor without the written consent of such
Investor unless such amendment or waiver applies to all Investors in the same fashion. The Company, on the one hand, and each Investor, on the other hand, may by an instrument signed in writing by such parties waive the performance, compliance or
satisfaction by such Investor or the Company, respectively, with any term or provision of this Agreement or any condition hereto to be performed, complied with or satisfied by such Investor or the Company, respectively.
8.15 Survival. The covenants, representations and warranties made by each party hereto contained in this Agreement shall survive the
Closing and the delivery of the Securities in accordance with their respective terms. Each Investor shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
8.16 Contract Interpretation. This Agreement is the joint product of each Investor and the Company and each provision of this
Agreement has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of such parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto.
8.17 Arm’s Length Negotiations. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and confirm that the terms and
conditions of the Securities were determined as a result of arm’s-length negotiations.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of July 13, 2026, is entered into by and among
Agenus Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the several investors signatory hereto (individually as an “Investor” and collectively together with their respective permitted assigns, the
“Investors”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the parties hereto, dated as of the date hereof (as
amended, restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”).
WHEREAS:
A. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue to the Investors, and the
Investors have agreed to purchase, severally and not jointly, an aggregate of up to approximately $85.0 million of (x) shares (the “Initial Shares”) of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (the
“Common Stock”) and/or, in lieu thereof, pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock
(the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”), (y) Common Stock purchase warrants to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock set forth in the Purchase Agreement (or, in lieu thereof, pre-funded warrants to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock), approximately equal to the Series A Warrant Coverage (the “Series A Warrants”), and (z) Common Stock purchase warrants
to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock set forth in the Purchase Agreement (or, in lieu thereof, pre-funded warrants to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock), approximately equal to the
Series B Warrant Coverage (the “Series B Warrants”, and together with the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”), in each case, pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement. The Initial Shares and the Common Stock issuable, directly or indirectly, upon exercise of the Warrants (including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of pre-funded
warrants issuable upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants or Series B Warrants), without giving effect to any limitations on exercise of the Warrants or the pre-funded warrants issuable upon the exercise of
the Series A Warrants or Series B Warrants, and assuming all of the Warrants and pre-funded warrants issuable upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants or Series B Warrants are exercised for cash, are
collectively referred to herein as the “Shares.”
B. To induce the Investors to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the
Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the “Securities Act”), and
applicable state securities laws.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants contained herein and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Investors hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS.
For
purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(a) “Person” means an individual,
partnership, corporation, limited liability company, business trust, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated association, joint venture or any other entity or organization.
(b) “Prospectus” means (i) the prospectus included in any
Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented by any prospectus supplement, with respect to the terms of the offering of any portion of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement and by all other amendments and
supplements to the prospectus, including post-effective amendments and all material incorporated by reference in such prospectus, and (ii) any “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act, relating to the
terms of the offering of any portion of the Registrable Securities.
(c) “Register,” “Registered,”
and “Registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing one or more registration statements of the Company in compliance with the Securities Act and providing for offering securities on a continuous basis, and
the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement(s) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
(d) “Registrable Securities” means the Shares and any Common Stock issued or issuable with respect to the Shares as a
result of any stock split or subdivision, stock dividend, reclassification or exchange. Registrable Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities as to any Investor upon the first to occur of: (A) the date on which such Investor shall
have resold any such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement or in accordance with Rule 144 (or another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act) and (B) the date on which the Registrable
Securities may be resold by such Investor without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the
requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
(e) “Registration Expenses” means all registration and filing fee expenses incurred by the Company in effecting any
registration pursuant to this Agreement, including (i) all registration, qualification, and filing fees, printing expenses, and any other fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with the SEC, FINRA or any other regulatory
authority, (ii) all fees and expenses in connection with compliance with or clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under any securities or “Blue Sky” laws, (iii) all printing, duplicating, word processing, messenger,
telephone, facsimile and delivery expenses, (iv) all fees and expenses of counsel in connection with any legal opinion of counsel required by the Company’s transfer agent or otherwise necessary to effect the removal of any restrictive
legend or any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, as contemplated by Section 3(k) and (v) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and of all independent certified public accountants of
the Company (including the expenses of any special audit and cold comfort letters required by or incident to such performance).
(f)
“Registration Statement” means any registration statement of the Company filed with, or to be filed with, the SEC under the Securities Act, that Registers Registrable Securities, including the related Prospectus, amendments and
supplements to such registration statement, including pre- and post-effective amendments, and all exhibits and all material incorporated by reference in such registration statement as may be necessary to
comply with applicable securities laws. “Registration Statement” shall also include a New Registration Statement, as amended when each became effective, including all documents filed as part thereof or incorporated by reference therein,
and including any information contained in a Prospectus subsequently filed with the SEC.
(g) “Selling Expenses” means
all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities and all similar fees and commissions relating to the Investors’ disposition of the Registrable Securities.
2
2. REGISTRATION.
(a) Mandatory Registration. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than 45 days after
the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), prepare and file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement (the “Initial Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all Registrable Securities (which, for the
avoidance of doubt, may also register the primary sale or issuance of the Company’s securities). Before filing the Registration Statement, the Company shall furnish to each of the Investors who have supplied the Company with email addresses a
copy of the Registration Statement. The Investors and their counsel shall have at least two Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement to review and comment upon such Registration Statement and any amendment or
supplement to such Registration Statement and any related Prospectus, prior to its filing with the SEC. Subject to any SEC comments, such Registration Statement shall include the plan of distribution substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A. The Company shall (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to address in each such document prior to being so filed with the SEC such comments as the Investor or its counsel reasonably proposed by the Investor, and (b) not
file any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto containing information regarding the Investor to which Investor reasonably objects, unless such information is required to comply with any applicable law or
regulation. The Investors shall furnish all information reasonably requested by the Company and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration referred to in this Agreement.
(b) Effectiveness. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement and any amendment
declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date but no later than the earlier of (a) the 90th calendar day following the Closing Date if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Initial Registration
Statement and (b) the tenth Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Initial Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further
review (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided that if the SEC is closed or otherwise unable to review or declare effective registration statements filed with the SEC for one or more days due to a shutdown or partial shutdown of
the U.S. government or for similar reasons (such days, “Tolled Days”) during the period following the initial filing of the Initial Registration Statement and prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the
Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by the number of Tolled Days during the period following the initial filing of the Initial Registration Statement and prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Company shall notify the
Investor by e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within 24 hours, after the Registration Statement is declared effective or is supplemented and shall provide the Investor with copies of any
related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Initial Registration Statement continuously effective pursuant to
Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and available for the resale by the Investors of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby at all times until the earliest to occur of the following events: (i) the date on which the
Investors shall have resold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby or in accordance with Rule 144 (or another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act); (ii) the date on which the Registrable Securities may be
resold by the Investors without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the
Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (iii) such time as any then remaining Registrable Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities hereunder (the
“Registration Period”). The Initial Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
(c) Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under the Initial Registration Statement
at any time is insufficient to cover the Registrable Securities, the Company shall, to the extent necessary and permissible, promptly amend the Initial Registration Statement or file a new registration statement (together with any prospectuses or
prospectus supplements thereunder, a “New Registration Statement”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities
3
as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event not later than 10 Business Days after the necessity therefor arises (the “New Registration Filing Deadline”). The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such amendment and/or New Registration Statement become effective as soon as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof but no later than the earlier of (a) the 75th calendar day
following the initial filing date of the New Registration Statement if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the New Registration Statement and (b) the fifth Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally
or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the New Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (the earlier of such dates, the “New Registration Effectiveness
Deadline”); provided that the New Registration Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by the number of Tolled Days during the period following the initial filing of the New Registration Statement and prior to the effectiveness of the New
Registration Statement. The provisions of Section 2(a) and (b) shall apply to the New Registration Statement, except as modified hereby.
(d) Liquidated Damages. If at any time prior to the date that is six month after the Closing Date (i) the Initial
Registration Statement has not been filed by the Filing Deadline, (ii) the Initial Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Effectiveness Deadline, (iii) the New Registration Statement has not been filed by the New
Registration Filing Deadline, (iv) the New Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the New Registration Effectiveness Deadline or (v) after any Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot
be made pursuant to such Registration Statement for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a stop order, or the Company’s failure to update such Registration Statement), but excluding any Allowed Delay (as defined below) or, if
the Registration Statement is on Form S-1, for a period of 20 days following the date on which the Company files a post-effective amendment to incorporate the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (a “Maintenance Failure”), then the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor then holding Registrable Securities, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to
1.0% of the aggregate amount paid pursuant to the Purchase Agreement by such Investor for such Registrable Securities then held by such Investor for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof
during which the failure continues (the “Blackout Period”), provided that no liquidated damages shall be payable if and to the extent to, despite best efforts by the Company to avoid a breach hereof, the Company’s failure
was caused by a government shutdown resulting in the SEC’s inability to review or declare effective the Registration Statement. Such payments shall constitute the Investors’ exclusive monetary remedy for such events, but shall not affect
the right of the Investors to seek injunctive relief. The amounts payable as liquidated damages pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid in cash no later than five Business Days after each such 30-day period
following the commencement of the Blackout Period until the termination of the Blackout Period (the “Blackout Period Payment Date”). Interest shall accrue at the rate of 1.0% per month on any such liquidated damages payments that
shall not be paid by the Blackout Period Payment Date until such amount is paid in full. Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall the aggregate amount of liquidated damages (or interest thereon) paid under this Agreement to any Investor exceed,
in the aggregate, 8.0% of the aggregate purchase price of the Securities purchased by such Investor under the Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2(d) to the contrary, during any periods that the
Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the Registrable Securities because any Investor fails to furnish information required to be provided pursuant to Section 2(a) or
Section 4(a) within three Business Days of the Company’s request, any liquidated damages that would otherwise accrue as to such Investor only shall be tolled until such information is delivered to the Company.
(e) Allowable Delays. On no more than two occasions and for not more than 30 consecutive days or for a total of not more than 60
days in any 12 month period, the Company may delay the effectiveness of or delay any requirement to request the effectiveness of, the Initial Registration Statement or any other Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or suspend the use
of any prospectus included in any Registration Statement, in the event that the Company determines in good faith and upon advice of legal counsel that such delay or suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of
4
material non-public information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best
interests of the Company or (B) amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related prospectus so that such Registration Statement or prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that
the Company shall promptly (a) notify each Investor in writing of the commencement of an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of an Investor) disclose to such Investor any material
non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Investors in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (c) use
commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable.
(f) Rule 415;
Cutback. If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415
under the Securities Act (provided, however, the Company shall be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities) or requires any Investor to be named as an
“underwriter,” the Company shall (i) promptly notify each holder of Registrable Securities thereof and (ii) make commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement
is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Investors is an “underwriter.” The Investors shall have the right to select one legal counsel
designated by the Requisite Investors (as defined below), at such Investors’ expense, to review and oversee any registration or matters pursuant to this Section 2(f), including participation in any meetings or
discussions with the SEC regarding the SEC’s position and to comment on any written submission made to the SEC with respect thereto. No such written submission with respect to this matter shall be made to the SEC to which such Investors’
counsel reasonably objects. In the event that, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 2(f), the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall
(i) remove from such Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable
Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Company shall not name any Investor as an
“underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Investor (provided that, in the event an Investor withholds such consent, the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to include any Registrable
Securities of such Investor in any Registration Statement covering the resale thereof until such time as the SEC no longer requires such Investor to be named as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement or such Investor otherwise
consents in writing to being so named). Any cut-back imposed on the Investors pursuant to this Section 2(f) shall be allocated among the Investors on a pro rata basis and shall be
applied first to any of the Registrable Securities of such Investor as such Investor shall designate, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or provide or the Investors otherwise agree. No liquidated damages shall accrue as to any Cut Back
Shares until such date as the Company is able to effect the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions applicable to such Cut Back Shares (such date, the “Restriction Termination Date”). From and
after the Restriction Termination Date applicable to any Cut Back Shares, all of the provisions of this Section 2 (including the Company’s obligations with respect to the filing of a Registration Statement and its
obligations to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective within the time periods set forth herein and the liquidated damages provisions relating thereto) shall again be applicable to such Cut Back
Shares; provided, however, that the date by which the Company is required to file the Registration Statement with respect to such Cut Back Shares shall be the tenth Business Day following the Restriction Termination Date and the date by which
the Company is required to have the Registration Statement effective with respect to such Cut Back Shares shall be the 55th calendar day immediately after the Restriction Termination Date, or the
75th calendar day immediately after the Restriction Termination Date if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the New Registration Statement.

3. RELATED COMPANY OBLIGATIONS.
With respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be Registered pursuant to
Section 2, including on the Initial Registration Statement or on any New Registration Statement, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance
with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:
(a)
Notifications. The Company will notify the Investors promptly of the time when any subsequent amendment to the Initial Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, other than documents incorporated by reference, has been filed
with the SEC and/or has become effective or where a receipt has been issued therefor or any subsequent supplement to a Prospectus has been filed and of any request by the SEC for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, any New
Registration Statement or any Prospectus or for additional information.
(b) Amendments. The Company will prepare and file with the
SEC any amendments, post-effective amendments or supplements to the Initial Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any Prospectus, as applicable, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the
Registration Period and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) with respect to the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered
thereby.
(c) Investor Review. The Company will not file any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, any New
Registration Statement or any Prospectus, other than documents incorporated by reference, relating to the Investors, the Registrable Securities or the transactions contemplated hereby unless (A) the Investors and their counsel shall have been
advised and afforded the opportunity to review and comment thereon at least three (3) Business Days prior to filing with the SEC and (B) the Company shall have given reasonable due consideration to any comments thereon received from the
Investors or their counsel.
(d) Copies Available. The Company will furnish to any Investor whose Registrable Securities are
included in any Registration Statement and its counsel copies of the Initial Registration Statement, any Prospectus thereunder (including all documents incorporated by reference therein), any Prospectus supplement thereunder, any New Registration
Statement and all amendments to the Initial Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement that are filed with the SEC during the Registration Period (including all documents filed with or furnished to the SEC during such period that are
deemed to be incorporated by reference therein), each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration
Statement (other than any portion thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment) and such other documents as Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by Investor that are covered by such Registration Statement, in each case as soon as reasonably practicable upon such Investor’s request and in such quantities as such Investor may from time to time reasonably request;
provided, however, that such documents, or access thereto, may be provided electronically and the Company shall not be required to furnish any document to the Investor to the extent such document is available on EDGAR.
6
(e) Notification of Stop Orders; Material Changes. The Company shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and (ii) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order as soon as practicable. The Company shall advise the Investors
promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) and shall confirm such advice in writing, in each case: (i) of the Company’s receipt of notice of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendment of
or a supplement to the Registration Statement or any Prospectus or for any additional information; (ii) of the Company’s receipt of notice of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement or prohibiting or suspending the use of any Prospectus or Prospectus supplement, or any New Registration Statement, or of the Company’s receipt of any notification of the
suspension of qualification of the Registrable Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or contemplated initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iii) of the Company becoming aware of the happening of any
event, which makes any statement of a material fact made in any Registration Statement or any Prospectus untrue or which requires the making of any additions to or changes to the statements then made in any Registration Statement or any Prospectus
in order to state a material fact required by the Securities Act to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements then made therein (in the case of any Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not
misleading, or of the necessity to amend any Registration Statement or any Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or any other law. The Company shall not be required to disclose to the Investors the substance of specific reasons of any of the
events set forth in clause (i) to (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence (each, a “Suspension Event”), but rather, shall only be required to disclose that the event has occurred. If at any time the SEC or any other
federal or state governmental authority shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or prohibiting or suspending the use of any Prospectus or Prospectus supplement, the Company shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest practicable time. The Company shall furnish to the Investors, without charge, a copy of any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC or any other federal or state
governmental authority to the Company or its representatives relating to the Initial Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any Prospectus, or Prospectus supplement as the case may be. In the event of a Suspension Event set forth
in clause (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 3(e), unless such Suspension Event is an Allowed Delay, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to publicly disclose such event as soon as reasonably practicable, or
otherwise resolve the matter such that sales under Registration Statements may resume; provided, however, that if the Company has a bona fide business purpose for not making such information public, the Company may suspend the use of all
Registration Statements for up to 60 consecutive calendar days; provided, further, that the Company may not suspend the use of all Registration Statements more than twice, or for more than 90 total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month
period.
(f) Confirmation of Effectiveness. If reasonably requested by an Investor at any time in respect of any Registration
Statement, the Company shall deliver to such Investor a written confirmation (email being sufficient) of whether or not the effectiveness of such Registration Statement has lapsed at any time for any reason (including, without limitation, the
issuance of a stop order) and whether or not such Registration Statement is currently effective and available to the Company for sale of Registrable Securities.
(g) Listing. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
Statement to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
(h) Compliance. The Company shall otherwise use commercially reasonable
efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final prospectus, including any supplement or amendment
thereof, with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly
7
inform the Investor in writing if, at any time during the Registration Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Investor is required
to deliver a prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder, and make available to its
security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined below), an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months, beginning after the effective date of each Registration Statement, which
earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, including Rule 158 promulgated thereunder (for the purpose of this subsection 3(h), “Availability Date” means the 45th day following the end of the fourth fiscal quarter that includes the effective date of such Registration Statement, except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the
Company’s fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the 90th day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter).
(i) Blue-Sky. The Company shall register or qualify or cooperate with the Investor and their
counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for the offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions reasonably requested by the Investor; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(i), (ii) subject
itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be so subject but for this Section 3(i), or (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
(j) Rule 144. With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule
or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell shares of Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep adequate current public information available, as those
terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) six months after such date as all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction by the holders thereof pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of
similar effect or (B) such date as there are no longer Registrable Securities; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and (iii) furnish electronically
to each Investor upon request, as long as such Investor owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, (B) a copy of or electronic access to
the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order
to avail such Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration.
(k) Cooperation. The Company shall cooperate with the holders of the Registrable Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates or uncertificated shares representing the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such Registration Statement or Rule 144 free of any restrictive legends (subject to compliance by such holder with Section 5.5 of
the Purchase Agreement and the provision by such holder of the documentation referred to therein) and representing such number of shares of Common Stock and registered in such names as the holders of the Registrable Securities may reasonably request
to the extent permitted by such Registration Statement or Rule 144 to effect sales of Registrable Securities; for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may satisfy its obligations hereunder without issuing physical stock certificates through the use
of The Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System. In connection with any legal opinion of counsel required by the Company’s transfer agent or otherwise necessary to effect the removal of any restrictive legend or any sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, subject to compliance by the applicable holder with Section 5.5 of the Purchase Agreement and the provision by such holder of the documentation referred to therein, the Company shall, at its sole
cost and expense, use commercially reasonably efforts to cause its counsel to
8
promptly render and deliver such opinion (or, if the Company so elects, or if the Company is unable, despite its commercially reasonable efforts, to cause its counsel to promptly render and
deliver such opinion, promptly reimburse the applicable Investor for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Investor’s counsel in rendering such opinion in a form reasonably acceptable to the transfer agent), and no Investor
shall be required to bear any cost or expense in connection with the delivery of any such opinion.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS.
(a) Investor Information. Each Investor shall provide a completed Investor Questionnaire in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities at or before the Closing Date. If the Company has not received such completed Questionnaire from an Investor at such time, the Company may file the Registration
Statement without including such Investor’s Registrable Securities.
(b) Suspension of Sales. Each Investor, severally and
not jointly with any other Investor, agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the existence of an Allowed Delay or a Suspension Event as set forth in Section 3(e), the Investor will as quickly as
reasonably practicable discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company confirming the resolution of such
Suspension Event and that such dispositions may again be made; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Investor to sell or otherwise dispose of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 or any
other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or to settle a transaction pursuant to a Registration Statement as to which a contract for such sale was entered into prior to such Investor’s receipt of the notice from
the Company of the existence of the Allowed Delay or Suspension Event. The Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with any sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to a Registration Statement with respect to which such Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to such Investor’s receipt of the notice from the Company of the existence of the Allowed Delay or Suspension Event.
(c) Investor Cooperation. Each Investor, severally and not jointly with any other Investor, agrees to cooperate with the Company as
reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any amendments and supplements to any Registration Statement or New Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of
its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.
All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne by the Company. For the avoidance
of doubt, Registration Expenses include, and the Company shall bear, all fees and expenses of counsel in connection with the rendering of any legal opinion required to effect the removal of any restrictive legend or any sale of Registrable
Securities pursuant to Rule 144 as contemplated by Section 3(k), and no such fees or expenses shall constitute Selling Expenses. All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Investors shall be borne by the Investors
pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities so registered.

6. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investors, each Person,
if any, who controls the Investors, the members, the directors, officers, partners, employees, members, managers, agents, representatives and advisors of the Investors and each Person, if any, who controls the Investors within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, obligation, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, court
costs and costs of preparation), reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or reasonable and documented expenses (collectively, “Claims”) reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or
defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency or body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or
not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise
out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereof, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any other state securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which
Registrable Securities are offered or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration of the Registrable Securities
(the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any
reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees or other reasonable and documented expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such
Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (A) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a
Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Investors or such Indemnified Person specifically for use in such Registration Statement or prospectus and was reviewed and
approved in writing by such Investor or such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, any prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such in each case if the
foregoing was timely made available by the Company; (B) with respect to any superseded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such Person from whom the Person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the
subject thereof (or to the benefit of any other Indemnified Person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the superseded prospectus was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, and the
Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the outdated, defective or incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a Violation; (C) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is
effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 8.
(b) In connection with the Initial Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any prospectus, the Investors, severally and not
jointly, agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Initial Registration Statement or signs any New Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any Violation,
in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information about an Investor furnished in writing by such Investor to the Company and reviewed and approved in writing by such
Investor or such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement, any prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto. In no event shall the
liability of an Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such
10
Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue
statement or omission) received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of
any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by any Investor pursuant to Section 8.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the
commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this
Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, and upon such notice,
the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided,
however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (together with all other Indemnified Persons and Indemnified Parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable
fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate with
the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying
party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying
party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise unless such judgment or settlement (i) imposes no liability or obligation on,
(ii) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving of a complete, explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such indemnified claims of all liability of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person in respect to or arising
out of such claim or litigation in favor of, and (iii) does not include any admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing, or wrongdoing or malfeasance by or on behalf of, the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person.. Following
indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which
indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person
or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(d) The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during
the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred. Any Person receiving a payment pursuant to this Section 6 which person is later determined to not be
entitled to such payment shall return such payment (including reimbursement of expenses) to the person making it.
11
(e) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of
action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
7. CONTRIBUTION.
To the
extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under
Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of
proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 7 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
8. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior
written consent of the Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (determined as if all of the Warrants then outstanding have been exercised for shares of Common Stock without regard to any limitations on the
exercise of such Warrants) (the “Requisite Investors”); provided, however, that for so long as the Lead Investor, together with its Affiliates, satisfies the Designation Threshold, the Requisite Investors must include the
Lead Investor; provided, further, however, that in any transaction, whether by merger, reorganization, restructuring, consolidation, financing or otherwise, whereby the Company is a party and in which the Registrable Securities are
converted into the equity securities of another Person, from and after the effective time of such transaction, such Person shall, by virtue of such transaction, be deemed to have assumed the obligations of the Company hereunder, the term
“Company” shall be deemed to refer to such Person and the term “Registrable Securities” shall be deemed to include the securities received by the Investor in connection with such transaction unless such securities are
otherwise freely tradable by the Investor after giving effect to such transaction, and the prior written consent of the Requisite Investors shall not be required for such transaction.
An Investor may transfer or assign its rights hereunder, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more Affiliates in connection with
the transfer of Registrable Securities (including Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise of Warrants) by such Investor to such Affiliate, provided that such Investor complies with all laws applicable thereto, and the provisions of the
Purchase Agreement, and provides written notice of assignment to the Company promptly after such assignment is effected, and such Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein. In addition, at any time a
Registration Statement registering the resale by an Investor of Registrable Securities is, for any reason, not effective, such Investor may transfer or assign its rights hereunder, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more Persons
(including non-Affiliates of the Investor) in connection with the transfer of not fewer than 2,000,000 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or
other similar recapitalization) Registrable Securities (including Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise of Warrants) by such Investor to such Person, provided that such Investor complies with all laws applicable thereto, and the
provisions of the Purchase Agreement, and provides written notice of assignment to the Company promptly after such assignment is effected, and such Person agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein.
12
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Investor and its successors and permitted assigns.
9. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.
The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may be amended, modified or supplemented, or waived only by a
written instrument executed by (i) the Company and (ii) the Requisite Investors, provided that any party may give a waiver as to itself and provided further that any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver that disproportionately and
adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Investor relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Investors shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Investor or each Investor, as applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of one or more Investors and that does not adversely directly or indirectly affect the rights of
other Investors may be given by Investors holding all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates.

Exhibit A
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling
securityholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of
any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the common stock is traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market
prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The selling securityholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of
the shares or interests therein:
•
distributions to members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders of the selling securityholders;
•
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
•
block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and
resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
•
to or through broker-dealers or underwriters;
•
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this
prospectus;
•
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
•
in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices,
at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings
through sales agents;
•
privately negotiated transactions;
•
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions whether through an options exchange or
otherwise;
•
broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a
stipulated price per share;
•
a combination of any of the above methods of disposition; or
•
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling securityholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 or Rule 904 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, if available, or
Section 4(a)(1) under the Securities Act, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling securityholders may arrange for
other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling securityholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.
The selling securityholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling
securityholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell
common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under a supplement or amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(7) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling securityholders to include the pledgee,
transferee or other successors in interest as selling securityholders under this prospectus.
1
Upon being notified in writing by a selling securityholder that any material arrangement has been entered
into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant
to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling securityholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares of common stock involved, (iii) the price at which such common stock
was sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by
reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon being notified in writing by a selling securityholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common share, we will file a
supplement to this prospectus if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.
The selling securityholders also may transfer the common
stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests in common stock, the selling securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling securityholders may also sell common stock short and deliver these securities
to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution
may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling securityholders and any broker-dealers or
agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any profits realized by such selling securityholders or compensation
received by such broker-dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The maximum commission or discount to be received by any member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) or
independent broker-dealer will not be greater than 8% of the initial gross proceeds from the sale of any security being sold.
We have advised the selling
securityholders that they are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, during such time as they may be engaged in a distribution of the shares. The foregoing may affect the marketability
of the common stock.
The aggregate proceeds to the selling securityholders from the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common
stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling securityholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made
directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the
registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling securityholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or otherwise.

•
Company to host conference call and webcast today at 8:30 a.m. ET
LEXINGTON, Mass. July 13, 2026. Agenus Inc. (Nasdaq: AGEN), a leader in immuno-oncology innovation, today announced that it has
entered into a securities purchase agreement for a private placement of approximately $85 million in upfront gross proceeds, before the deduction of private placement expenses, and up to an additional $255 million upon the full exercise of
purchase warrants. The financing was led by Commodore Capital, with participation from RA Capital Management, TCGX, Invus, and Ligand Pharmaceuticals.
The net proceeds of this financing are expected to support Agenus’ strategic prioritization of botensilimab and balstilimab (BOT+BAL) for the
neoadjuvant treatment of microsatellite-stable (MSS) colon cancer, including advancement of ROBBIN1, the Company’s planned registrational Phase 3 neoadjuvant trial in microsatellite-stable
(MSS) colon cancer. High-risk Stage II and Stage III MSS colon cancer affect an estimated 38,000 patients annually in the US and more than 200,000 patients worldwide,2 representing an estimated US
addressable annual sales opportunity of more than $7 billion, with no new curative-intent therapies approved in more than 20 years.3
As described below, under the terms of the private placement, the Company will issue shares of its common stock (or, in lieu thereof, pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock) for approximately $85 million in upfront gross proceeds, before the deduction of private placement expenses, and an accompanying “Series A” purchase
warrant and “Series B” purchase warrant that, if fully exercised, would provide an additional $255 million in gross proceeds, for a combined total of up to $340 million in gross proceeds. Assuming the exercise in full of the
warrants, Agenus expects the financing to fund completion of ROBBIN, with runway through year-end 2031. The private placement is expected to close on or about July 15, 2026, subject to customary closing
conditions. The upfront purchase price per share, along with the exercise prices for the Series A and Series B warrants, were all priced at a premium to the market closing price per share as of Friday, July 10th, 2026.
Agenus’ Strategic Prioritization of Neoadjuvant BOT+BAL
Across NEST and UNICORN, two independent Phase 2 studies evaluating neoadjuvant BOT+BAL in MSS colorectal cancer (CRC), BOT+BAL has produced deep, durable
responses, including pathologic response (PR) in approximately 60-70% of patients, major pathologic response (MPR) in approximately 35-40% of patients and pathologic
complete response (pCR) in approximately 30% of patients. Deep pathologic responses (MPR and pCR) in the neoadjuvant setting are positively correlated with event-free survival in many tumor types, including MSS colon cancer.4 With median follow-up of approximately 9 to 18 months, all treated patients remained disease free. This treatment effect has persisted in updates from NEST and
UNICORN, and further details are anticipated to be published later this year. Together with observed circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) clearance during treatment, these data support Agenus’ rationale for prioritizing neoadjuvant BOT+BAL
development in the registrational ROBBIN study.5,6
ROBBIN is Agenus’ planned randomized global
Phase 3 trial evaluating neoadjuvant BOT+BAL followed by standard of care versus standard of care alone in previously untreated high-risk Stage II and Stage III MSS colon cancer. The ROBBIN trial will enroll 850 patients, randomized 1:1, with event
free survival (EFS) as its primary endpoint. Following interactions with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Agenus has aligned with the FDA on key elements of the Phase 3 design, including the patient population, experimental regimen,
control arm, primary endpoint, and interim analysis plan.
“We have seen neoadjuvant and perioperative immunotherapy improve outcomes in
immunologically ‘hot’ or ‘warm’ tumors such as melanoma and lung cancer, but MSS colon cancer — a ‘cold’ tumor — has resisted standard checkpoint inhibitors. BOT was engineered to overcome that
resistance and has produced deep pathologic responses with no recurrences reported in the NEST and UNICORN studies. With the ROBBIN trial, we are bringing this regimen to patients with high-risk Stage II and Stage III MSS colon cancer, where
treating an intact tumor gives BOT+BAL its greatest opportunity to generate a durable immune response and improve long-term outcomes,” said Dr. Steven O’Day, Chief Medical Officer of Agenus.
In connection with its strategic prioritization of neoadjuvant BOT+BAL in MSS colon cancer, Agenus plans to discontinue financial support for the ongoing
BATTMAN Phase 3 study in late-line metastatic MSS CRC. Agenus will honor its obligations to patients currently receiving treatment and will work closely with the Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) and participating investigators to manage this
transition responsibly. The Company remains deeply grateful to the clinicians, site teams, CCTG, and patients who have contributed to advancing BOT+BAL in late-stage disease.
“Since Agenus was founded 32 years ago, our mission has been to harness the immune system to improve outcomes and, where possible, cure cancer,”
said Garo H. Armen, Ph.D., Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Agenus. “Our plan to prioritize neoadjuvant BOT+BAL in MSS colon cancer reflects both the strength of the emerging clinical evidence and the opportunity to bring this
important combination regimen to patients where it may have the greatest impact. With ROBBIN, we are advancing a randomized global trial designed to confirm the rapid and deep activity observed across the NEST and UNICORN trials.”
Upcoming ROBBIN catalysts include the following:
•
First patient dosed: anticipated in Q1 of 2027
•
Interim pathologic response data: anticipated in second half of 2027
•
Interim analysis of EFS: anticipated in second half of 2029
•
Final analysis of EFS: anticipated in second half of 2030
Conference Call and Webcast
Agenus will host a
conference call and live webcast today at 8:30am ET to discuss the financing and ROBBIN trial strategy. The call will feature Myriam Chalabi, M.D., Ph.D., of the Netherlands Cancer Institute, a leading investigator in neoadjuvant immunotherapy for
colorectal cancer, and Pashtoon Kasi, M.D., M.S. of City of Hope Hospital, who will provide independent clinical perspectives on the program.

About Botensilimab (BOT)
Botensilimab (BOT) is a human
Fc enhanced multifunctional anti-CTLA-4 antibody designed to boost both innate and adaptive anti-tumor immune responses. Its novel design leverages mechanisms of action to extend immunotherapy benefits to
“cold” tumors which generally respond poorly to standard of care or are refractory to conventional PD-1/CTLA-4 therapies and investigational therapies. BOT
augments immune responses across a wide range of tumor types by priming and activating T cells, downregulating intratumoral regulatory T cells, activating myeloid cells and inducing long-term memory responses.
Approximately 1,300 patients have been treated with BOT and/or BAL in phase 1 and phase 2 clinical trials. BOT alone, or in combination with Agenus’
investigational PD-1 antibody, BAL, has shown clinical responses across nine metastatic, late-line cancers. For more information about BOT trials, visit www.clinicaltrials.gov.
About Balstilimab (BAL)
Balstilimab (BAL) is a novel,
fully human monoclonal immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) designed to block PD-1 (programmed cell death protein 1) from interacting with its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2. It has been evaluated in more than 900 patients to date and has demonstrated clinical activity and a favorable tolerability profile in several tumor types.
About the ROBBIN Phase 3 RCT
ROBBIN is Agenus’ planned randomized global Phase 3 trial evaluating BOT+BAL in high-risk Stage II/III MSS/pMMR colon cancer. The trial is designed to
assess whether a short-course neoadjuvant BOT+BAL regimen administered before surgery can generate deep pathologic and molecular responses and improve longer-term clinical outcomes, including event-free survival.
The proposed ROBBIN design includes neoadjuvant BOT+BAL followed by surgery and guideline-directed adjuvant chemotherapy or observation based on pathologic
staging, compared with the current standard of care of surgery followed by guideline-directed adjuvant chemotherapy or observation. The primary endpoint is event-free survival. Key secondary and exploratory endpoints are expected to include overall
survival, circulating tumor DNA negativity, quality of life, safety, pathologic response, and other measures.

Economics with BOT+BAL with BOT+BAL High risk-stage II & Stage III MSS Improving outcomes in the ROBBIN Phase 3 trial design 52 patients in CRC treated with colon cancer has ~38,000 treated curative-intent population supports aligned with FDA
feedback; BOT+BAL show deep pathologic 1 patients annually in the US strong pharmacoeconomic position responses, continued ctDNA $340M funds company through for BOT pricing clearance, and no reported projected full approval in recurrences support
high likelihood neoadjuvant MSS colon cancer of success in the ROBBIN trial 1. Epidemiology analysis based on data from SEER, CDC, and Clarivate 10
Pathologic Complete Response Rates (pCR) Correlate with EFS: pCR Rates
with BOT+BAL in NEST & UNICORN Provide a Strong Signal for Success in ROBBIN pCR Rate Projected EFS METHODOLOGY: Expected pCR rate in Control arm for ROBBIN = 0% Delta Hazard Ratio • 21 neoadjuvant/perioperative trials evaluated using
based on FOxTROT, NeoCol, and OPTICAL control arms 1 linear regression analysis 0.0% 0.84 • Objective: To examine the relationship between pCR 2 rate delta and EFS hazard ratio (HR) across solid tumors 5.0% 0.78 10.0% 0.73 RESULTS: •
Regression shows that magnitude of pCR rate predicts 15.0% 0.67 A pCR rate of ~17% correlates with a ~0.65 Hazard EFS HR. Ratio (target HR for ROBBIN trial) 20.0% 0.61 pCR Rate Delta vs EFS HR 25.0% 0.55 30.0% 0.49 If interim readout of pCR rate in
ROBBIN reaches the same level as observed in NEST and UNICORN 35.0% 0.43 (~30%), this would predict a HR of ~0.50 40.0% 0.38 45.0% 0.32 50.0% 0.26 pCR Rate Delta 1. Analysis based on 21 neoadjuvant trials with paired pCR/MPR and EFS or DFS data:

Significant Market Opportunity for BOT+BAL in Locally Advanced MSS
Colon Cancer ~85,000 people are diagnosed with Stage I-III colon cancer in the US every year Exclude Stage I and • Stage I colon cancer is excluded from ROBBIN low-risk Stage II ; • 15-20% of Stage I and II Patients are MSI-H, and 8-12%
of Stage III Exclude MSI-High patients are MSI-H (excluded from ROBBIN study) ~38,000 high-risk stage II + Stage III • Expected Target Product Profile with HR = 0.65: eligible • Short neoadjuvant treatment with low adverse event rate
population • 3-year EFS improvement from 75% to 82% • Reduction in oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy Total US Addressable Market Opportunity for High-Risk Stage II/III MSS Colon Cancer: >$7 Billion* 1. Epidemiology analysis based on data

Precedent: FOxTROT Prior Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Study for Stage
II/III Colon Cancer • FOxTROT (N=1,053) established that the depth of pathologic regression is associated with improved recurrence rates 1 (notably no recurrences in patients with complete tumor regression in colon cancer) • However, the
modest depth of regression achieved with neoadjuvant chemotherapy translated into only modest long- term benefit and was insufficient to change the global standard of care Pathologic Response Assessment Recurrence Rate by Pathologic Response 1.

Precedent: NICHE pMMR/MSS Colon Cancer Cohort of Ipilimumab + Nivolumab
Neoadjuvant Treatment • The NICHE study evaluated neoadjuvant ipilimumab + nivolumab ± celecoxib in 31 patients with MSS Colon Cancer 1 • 30 patients underwent surgery and were assessable for pathologic response • 10% of
patients had a pCR (0% residual tumor), and 23% had a Pathologic Response (≤50% residual tumor) Recurrence over time for Pathologic Response Assessment Non-Responders (n=23) vs Responders (n=8) Responders Event-free survival at 3 years was
93%. No recurrences in patients who had a response (≥50% tumor regression) 1. Tan P. et al. Nature 2025;648:726-735. 16
