THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, [•] (“Initial
Holder” and, together with any successor or permitted assignee or transferee of this Warrant or of any shares issued upon exercise hereof, “Holder”) is entitled to
purchase the number of fully paid and non‑assessable shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock (the “Class”)
of ADMA Biologics, Inc. (the “Company”) at the above‑stated Exercise Price, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Section
2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.
SECTION 1. EXERCISE.
1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may at any time and from time to time exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company a copy of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in
substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 and, unless Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a cashless exercise set forth in Section 1.2, a check, wire transfer of same‑day funds (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2 Cashless Exercise. On any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Exercise Price in the manner as specified in Section 1.1 above, but
otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1, Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or portion hereof as to which this Warrant is
being exercised) if the fair market value of one Share is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below). Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and non‑assessable Shares as
are computed using the following formula:
X = Y(A‑B)/A
where:
X
|
the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder;
|
Y=
|
the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (on a gross basis, as if such exercise was not occurring on a cashless basis, but instead was occurring pursuant to Section 1.1 above);
|
A=
|
the Fair Market Value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.3 below) of one Share; and
|
B=
|
the Exercise Price of one Share.
|
1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Company’s Common Stock is then traded or quoted on the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange (or any
successors to any of the foregoing) (a “Trading Market”) and the Class is Common Stock, the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a
share of Common Stock reported for the Business Day (as defined below) immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Company’s Common Stock is not traded in a
Trading Market but is quoted on OTCQB or OTCQX, the fair market value of a Share shall be the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX, as applicable. If the Common Stock
is not then listed or quoted for trading on a Trading Market, OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the
fair market value of a Share shall be the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported. If the Company’s Common Stock is not traded on a Trading Market, is not quoted on OTCQB or OTCQX, and is not reported on the Pink Open
Market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the fair market value of a Share in its reasonable good faith judgment, subject to Section 6.12(a) below.
1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Within four (4) Business Days after Holder exercises this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1.1
or 1.2 above, if (i) either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Shares to or resale of the Shares by the Holder or (B) the Shares are
eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner‑of‑sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), the Company shall cause the Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Company’s transfer
agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system; or (ii) if the conditions in 1.4(a)(i) are not satisfied, the Company shall deliver to Holder a certificate representing the Shares issued to Holder upon such exercise.
In each case, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, the Company shall deliver to Holder a new warrant of like tenor and having the same terms as set forth herein (as in effect at such time) representing the Shares
remaining to be issued upon further exercise hereof.
2
1.5 Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of a
customary indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within four (4) Business Days,
execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount and having the same terms as set forth herein (as in effect at such time).
1.6 Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.
(a) Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (i) the sale, lease,
exclusive license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another Person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the
stockholders of the Company in their capacity as such immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own shares representing less than a majority of the Company’s (or the surviving or successor entity’s) outstanding voting
power immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization; or (iii) any sale or other transfer by the stockholders (or series of sales or transfers) of the Company of shares which in the aggregate represent at least a majority of the
Company’s then‑total outstanding combined voting power.
(b) Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition. In the event of an Acquisition by a third party (or multiple related third parties) not related to or affiliated with the Company or stockholders prior to the Expiration Date in
which the consideration to be received by the Company’s stockholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities (as defined below) or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Acquisition”), unless the Holder otherwise notifies the Company in writing this Warrant shall automatically and without need of any action or notice by the Holder or any other Person be deemed to have
been exercised in full pursuant to Section 1.2 on the date immediately preceding the date the Cash/Public Acquisition is consummated.
(c) The Company shall provide Holder
with prior written notice (in reasonable detail) of any Acquisition (together with such reasonable information as Holder may reasonably request regarding the Acquisition including without limitation the parties thereto, the projected
consideration per Share to be paid to holders of Shares and the treatment of this Warrant (including without limitation the number of Shares (or such other securities) that would be issued to the Holder, assuming exercise of this Warrant in
full in connection with such Acquisition) in connection with such contemplated Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which notice shall be delivered to Holder not less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the closing of the proposed
Cash/Public Acquisition.
(d) Upon the closing of any Acquisition
other than a Cash/Public Acquisition defined above, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same securities and/or other property as
would have been paid for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance
with the provisions of this Warrant.
3
(e) As used in this Warrant, “Marketable Securities” means securities meeting all of the following requirements: (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act
and the Exchange Act; (ii) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by Holder in connection with the Acquisition were Holder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded
on a Trading Market, and (iii) following the closing of such Acquisition, Holder would not be restricted from publicly re‑selling all of the issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received by Holder in such Acquisition were
Holder to exercise or convert this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such Acquisition, except to the extent that any such restriction (x) arises solely under federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, and (y) does not
extend beyond six (6) months from the closing of such Acquisition to the extent such restrictions may be lifted at such time under the applicable federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations.
1.7 Automatic Cashless Exercise. To the extent this Warrant has not been exercised in full by the Holder prior to the Expiration Date, any portion of this Warrant that remains unexercised on such date shall be deemed to
have been exercised automatically pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof, in whole (and not in part), on the Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date; provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Holder otherwise elects in writing, no such automatic exercise shall occur in the event that the fair market value on the trading day immediately preceding the Expiration Date is less than the Exercise
Price.
SECTION 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE.
2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of the Class payable in Common Stock or other securities or property (including cash), then upon
exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property which Holder would have received had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the
date the dividend or distribution occurred. If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately
increased and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Class are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced (or the like) for, into, with
or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the
Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations substitutions, replacements or other similar events.
4
2.3 No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share interest arises upon
any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (i) the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above) of a full Share, less (ii) the then‑effective Exercise Price.
2.4 Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt prior written notice of any adjustment event. Upon giving effect to any adjustment of the Exercise Price, Class and/or number of
Shares, the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall, not later than four (4) Business Days following the occurrence of such event, notify the Holder in writing, which notice shall set forth (in reasonable detail) the reason for and effect of
the adjustments to the Exercise Price, Class and/or number of Shares, as the case may be, and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Such written notification shall include a certificate of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer,
including computations of such adjustment and the Exercise Price, Class and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment.
SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
3.1 Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Holder as follows:
(a) All Shares which may be issued upon
the proper exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms contained herein shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non‑assessable, and free of any liens except for restrictions on transfer provided for
herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company covenants that it shall at all times cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued capital stock such number of shares of the Class, Common
Stock and other securities as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant and the conversion of the Shares into Common Stock or such other securities.
3.2 Notice of Certain Events. If the Company proposes at any time to:
(a) declare any dividend or distribution
upon the outstanding shares of common stock, whether in cash, property, stock, or other securities and whether or not a regular cash dividend;
(b) offer for subscription or sale pro
rata to the holders of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (other than pursuant to contractual pre‑emptive rights);
(c) effect any reclassification,
exchange, combination, substitution, reorganization or recapitalization of the outstanding shares of common stock; or
(d) effect an Acquisition or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up; then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall give Holder:
5
(1) at least seven (7) Business Days
prior written notice of the date on which a record will be taken for such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of outstanding shares of the Class will be entitled thereto) or for
determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of the matters referred to in (a) and (b) above;
(2) in the case of the matters referred
to in (c) and (d) above at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice of the date when the same will take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of outstanding shares of the Class will be entitled to exchange their shares
for the securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).

matter, including information that is reasonably necessary to enable Holder to comply with Xxxxxx’s accounting or reporting requirements.
Provided the Company remains subject to the reporting obligations of the Exchange Act, the notice provisions set forth in this Section 3.2 shall terminate at such time as the Company no longer has substantially similar notice obligations under any other warrant, option or similar instrument or agreement thereto.
SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OF THE HOLDER.
The Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
4.1 Purchase for Own Account. This Warrant and the securities to be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant by Xxxxxx are being acquired for investment for Holder’s account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a current
view to the public resale or distribution within the meaning of the Act. Holder also represents that it has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring this Warrant or the Shares.
4.2 Disclosure of Information. Xxxxxx is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has received or has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an
informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of this Warrant and its underlying securities. Xxxxxx further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the
offering of this Warrant and its underlying securities and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information
furnished to Holder or to which Holder has access.
4.3 Investment Experience. Holder understands that the purchase of this Warrant and its underlying securities involves substantial risk. Holder has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development
stage and acknowledges that Holder can bear the economic risk of such Xxxxxx’s investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Holder is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of its investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and/or has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and
duration that enables Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.
6
4.4 Accredited Investor Status. Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
4.5 The Act. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof have not been registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among
other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issued upon any exercise hereof must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act
and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless exemption from such registration and qualification are otherwise available. Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.
4.6 No Voting Rights. Holder, as a Holder of this Warrant, will not have any voting rights until the exercise of this Warrant.
SECTION 5. REGISTRATION RIGHTS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
5.1 Registration. In the event that the Company files a registration statement (a “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission
covering the sale of its shares of Common Stock (other than a registration statement on Form S‑4 or S‑8, or on another form, or in another context, in which such “piggyback” registration would be inappropriate), then, with respect to any or all
Shares, Company shall notify Holder in reasonable advance of (but at least ten (10) business days prior to) the filing of such registration statement and Holder shall have the right to require the Company to register the resale of the Shares on
such Registration Statement to the extent the Company does not maintain an effective registration statement for the Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the registration rights contained in this Section
5.1 shall not be effective more than seven (7) years from the effective date of the Registration Statement in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f) (2)(G)(v).
5.2 Suspension. The Company may by written notice to Xxxxxx immediately suspend the use of any resale prospectus for a period not to exceed 60 consecutive days in any one instance or 120 calendar days in total, in either
case in any 12‑month period (each, a “Suspension Period”) at any time that (i) the Company becomes engaged in a business activity or negotiation or any other event has
occurred or is anticipated which is not disclosed in that prospectus which the Company reasonably believes should be disclosed therein under applicable law and which the Company desires to keep confidential for business purposes or (ii) the
Company determines that a particular disclosure so determined to be required to be disclosed therein be premature or would adversely affect the Company or its business or prospects. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to
ensure that the use of the Registration Statement may be resumed as soon as practicable.
7
5.3 Costs and Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Shares and any new Warrants, except that if the certificates
for the Shares or the new Warrants are to be registered in a name or names of a Person other than the name of the Holder or one of its Affiliates or related funds, funds sufficient to pay all transfer taxes payable as a result of such transfer
shall be paid by the Holder at the time of its delivery of the Notice of Exercise or promptly upon receipt of a written request by the Company for payment. The Company shall bear all costs and expenses associated with the registration of the
Shares as specified in this Section 5 and the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, including, without limitation, all printing expenses, legal fees and disbursement
of the Company’s outside counsel, commissions, NASDAQ and blue sky registration filing fees and transfer agents’ and registrars’ fees, but not including underwriting commissions or similar charges and legal fees and disbursements of counsel to
Holder. “Affiliate” of any Person means any other Person which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person. “Control” (and its correlatives) by any Person means the power of such Person, directly or indirectly, (i) to vote 10% or more of the Capital Securities (on a fully diluted
basis) of another Person which Capital Securities have ordinary voting power for the election of directors, managing members or general partners (as applicable), or (ii) to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such
other Person (whether by contract or otherwise).
5.4 Covenants. The Company covenants and agrees that:
(a) Securities Filings; Rules 144 & 144A. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) thereunder, (ii) cooperate with the Holder and each holder of Shares in supplying such information
concerning the Company as may be necessary for the Holder or holder of Shares to complete and file any information reporting forms currently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the availability of an exemption from the
Securities Act for the sale of this Warrant or Shares issued upon exercise hereof, and (iii) take such further action as the Holder may reasonably request to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holder to sell Shares without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 or 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the
Commission.
(b) Obtaining of Governmental Approvals and Stock Exchange Listings. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain and keep effective any and all permits, consents and approvals of governmental agencies
and authorities which may from time to time be required of the Company in order to satisfy its obligations hereunder, and (ii) take all action which may reasonably be necessary so that the Shares issued upon exercise hereof, immediately upon
their issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, will be listed on each securities exchange, if any, on which such Shares are then listed.
(c) Structural Dilution. So long as this Warrant remains outstanding the Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to issue, sell, distribute or otherwise grant in any manner (including by assumption) any rights to
subscribe for or to purchase, or any warrants or options for the purchase of any equity securities of such Subsidiary or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for such equity securities (or any rights to subscribe for or to purchase,
or any warrants or options for the purchase of any such convertible or exchangeable securities), whether or not immediately exercisable or exercisable prior to the Expiration Date or thereafter, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
prohibit the Company from forming a Subsidiary after the Issue Date while the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 23, 2022, as such may be amended from time to time (the “Credit
Agreement”), is in effect if such formation and any Investments in such Subsidiary comply with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
8
(d) Ownership Cap. The Company shall not knowingly effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder
(together with its Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the voting Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the
determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or
conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible shares or warrants) subject to
a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 5.4(d), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding Shares, the Holder of this Warrant may rely on the number of outstanding Shares as
reflected in the most recent of (i) the Company’s Form 10‑K, Form 10‑Q or other public filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (iii) any other notice by the Company or its
transfer agent setting forth the number of Shares outstanding. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days, confirm to the Holder the number of Shares then outstanding. Furthermore, upon the
written request of the Company, the Holder shall confirm to the Company its then current beneficial ownership with respect to the Company’s Shares.
SECTION 6. MISCELLANEOUS.
6.1 Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.6 above, this Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on or before 6:00 PM,
Eastern time, on the Expiration Date and shall be void thereafter.
6.2 Legends. Each certificate evidencing Shares (and each certificate evidencing the securities issued upon conversion of any Shares, if any) shall be imprinted with a customary applicable legend as reasonably determined by
the Company, unless, in the written opinion of counsel selected by the Holder (who may be an employee of such Holder), which counsel and opinion shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, the Shares need no longer be subject to restrictions
on resale under the Securities Act, in which event, upon the request of such Holder, the Company shall issue replacement certificates for such Shares that do not bear a legend.
9
6.3 Compliance with Securities Laws on Transfer. This Warrant and the Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) may not be
transferred or assigned in whole or in part except with respect to transfers and assignments to Affiliates or related funds of the Holder or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the
transferee (including, without limitation, the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company). The Company agrees that it shall cause its counsel
to issue a legal opinion to the transfer agent promptly if required by the transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, and, if required for the issuance of such legal opinion, Xxxxxx agrees to deliver a letter containing
customary representations and warranties required by counsel issuing such legal opinion.
6.4 Transfer Procedure. After receipt by Initial Holder of the executed Warrant, Initial Holder may transfer all or part of this Warrant to one or more of Initial Holder’s affiliates or related funds (each, an “Initial Holder Affiliate”), by execution of an Assignment substantially in the form of Appendix 2. Subject to the provisions of Section
6.3 and upon providing the Company with written notice, Initial Holder, any such Initial Holder Affiliate and any subsequent Holder, may transfer all or part of this Warrant or the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant to
any other transferee, provided, however, in connection with a transfer of this Warrant, the Initial Holder Affiliate(s) or any subsequent Holder will give the Company notice of the portion of the Warrant being transferred with the name, address
and taxpayer identification number (or jurisdictional equivalent) of the transferee and Xxxxxx will surrender this Warrant to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and Holder if applicable).

(ii) shall be completely independent of the Company (an “Independent Advisor”), for determination, and such determination by the Independent Advisor shall be binding upon
the Company and the Holder with respect to this Warrant, any Shares issued in connection herewith or any other matter in dispute as the case may be, absent manifest error. Costs and expenses of the Independent Advisor shall be shared 50/50 by
the Company and the Holder.
(b) Equitable Equivalent. In case any event shall occur as to which the provisions of Section 2 above are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any
adjustment would not, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of the Holder, fairly protect the rights and benefits of the Holder represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of Section 2, then, in any such case, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall submit the matter and issues raised by the Holder to an Independent Advisor, which shall give its opinion upon the
adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in Section 2, to the extent necessary to preserve, without dilution, the rights and
benefits represented by this Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder and shall make the adjustments described therein, if any. Costs and expenses of the Independent Advisor shall be
shared 50/50 by the Company and the Holder.
6.13 No Avoidance. The Company shall not, by way of amendment of its certificate of incorporation or by‑laws, by way of contract or other agreement, or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets,
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 action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution or other impairment as if the Holder was a shareholder of the Company entitled to the benefit of fiduciary
duties afforded to shareholders under Delaware law.
