The Warrants may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Warrant shall be dated the date of its signature. The terms and provisions contained in the Warrants shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Agreement. The parties hereto, by their execution and delivery of this Agreement, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Warrant conflicts with the express provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and be controlling.

2.02 Execution of Warrant Certificates. Warrants may be executed in any number of original, facsimile or electronic counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. An Officer shall sign the Warrants on behalf of the Company. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant Certificate shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant Certificate before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.

The Warrant Register will show the name and address of the Holder, the numbers of Warrants and Warrant Shares evidenced on the face of each Warrant Certificate and the date of each Warrant Certificate. The Company may deem and treat the Holder as the absolute owner of the Warrant Certificates (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone), for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

2.04 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) A Holder may transfer, assign or encumber all or any part of a Warrant Certificate to any Person; provided, however, that such transfer shall be in compliance with the Securities Act or any state (or other jurisdiction) securities or “blue sky” laws applicable to the Company or the Warrants.

(b) Upon written notice from a Holder of any transfer permitted pursuant to Section 2.04(a) of this Agreement and receipt of such customary documents as the Company may reasonably request to assure itself that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable state (or other jurisdiction) securities or “blue sky” laws, the Company shall reflect in the Warrant Register any change in record ownership pursuant to any such transfer.

(d) All Warrants issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrants shall be the duly authorized, executed and issued warrants for shares of Common Stock of the Company or such other Warrant Shares as may be issuable upon exercise of a Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, not subject to any preemptive rights, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Warrants surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

2.05 Replacement Warrants. If the Company receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Warrant, the Company shall issue a replacement Warrant of like denomination, tenor and date as the Warrant so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen. If required by the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the reasonable judgment of the Company to protect the Company, from any loss that the Company may suffer if a Warrant is replaced. Every replacement Warrant is an additional Warrant of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with all other Warrants duly issued hereunder.

2.06 Cancellation. All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall be cancelled by the Company.

Section 3. Terms and Exercise of Warrants.

3.01 Exercise Price. Each Warrant shall entitle the Holder thereof upon proper exercise during the Exercise Period, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Agreement, to purchase from the Company one (1) Warrant Share at a purchase price per Warrant Share equal to US$8.05 (such price being referred to herein as the “Exercise Price”), subject to the adjustments provided in Section 4 of this Agreement.

3.02 Duration of Warrants. Subject to the terms and conditions of such Warrant and of this Agreement, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, and prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Original Issue Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (the “Expiration Date”), a Warrant may be exercised for all or any part of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder (subject to adjustment as provided herein). Such period commencing on the Original Issue Date and expiring on the Expiration Date is herein referred to as the “Exercise Period.” Each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement and such Warrant shall cease at the Close of Business on the Expiration Date (or Close of Business on the Settlement Date with respect to any Exercise Agreement delivered prior to the Expiration Date). The Company may extend the duration of the Warrants by delaying the Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Company shall provide notice of not less than thirty (30) days to Holders of such extension and that such extension shall be identical in duration among all of the then outstanding Warrants. In addition, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Omnibus Agreement dated as of May 31, 2018 (the “Omnibus Agreement”), between the Company and the Investors, 12,500,000 of the Warrants shall become void on the Second Closing Date (as defined in the Omnibus Agreement) if the Investors are in breach of their obligation under Section 1(e) of the Omnibus Agreement, and all rights under such Warrants and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement and such Warrants shall cease on the Second Closing Date upon such occurrence.

3.03 Exercise of Warrants.

(a) Exercise Procedure. Warrants may be exercised from time to time on any Business Day during the Exercise Period, for all or any part of the unexercised Warrant Shares, upon:

(i) surrender of the Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to the Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as set forth in Section 2.05 of this Agreement), together with an Exercise Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each, an “Exercise Agreement”), duly completed (including specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased) and executed; and

(ii) payment to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3.03(b) of this Agreement (other than in the case of a cashless exercise pursuant to Section 3.03(b)(ii) of this Agreement).

(b) Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made, at the option of the Holder, in their sole and absolute discretion, as expressed in the Exercise Agreement, by the following methods:

(i) by delivery to the Company of a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price;

(ii) by instructing the Company to issue Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of all or any part of such Warrant on a net basis such that, without payment of any cash consideration or other immediately available funds, the Holder shall surrender such Warrant in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares as is computed using the following formula:

X = Y(A-B)

Where:

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

Y = the total number of Warrant Shares for which the Holder has elected to exercise the Warrant pursuant to Section 3.03(a) of this Agreement.

A = the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share as of the applicable Exercise Date.

B = the Exercise Price in effect under the Warrant as of the applicable Exercise Date.

(iii) any combination of the foregoing.

In the event of any withholding of Warrant Shares pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) where the number of shares whose value is equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price is not a whole number, the number of shares withheld by the Company shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

(c) Delivery of Stock Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of the Exercise Agreement, surrender of the Warrant and (except in the case of a cashless exercise pursuant to Section 3.03(b)(ii) of this Agreement) payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (in accordance with Section 3.03 of this Agreement), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, execute (or cause to be executed) and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder a certificate or certificates (or deliver electronically) representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the exercising Holder shall reasonably request in the Exercise Agreement and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to compliance with Section 2.04 of this Agreement, such other Person’s name as shall be designated in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrants shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates of Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.

(d) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional Warrant Share upon exercise of any Warrant. To the extent an exercise would result in a fractional Warrant Share, the number of Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Warrant Shares.

(e) Delivery of New Warrant. Unless the purchase rights represented by the Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares being issued in accordance with Section 3.03(c) of this Agreement, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unexpired and unexercised Warrant Shares called for by such Warrant. Such new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to the Warrant.

(f) Valid Issuance. The Company hereby represents, covenants and agrees that:

(i) Any Warrant issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.

(ii) All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of any Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Warrants shall be, upon issuance, and the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that such Warrant Shares are, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and free and clear of all taxes, liens and charges.

(iii) The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such Warrant Shares are issued without violation by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation applicable to the Company or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares may be listed at the time of such exercise (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).

(iv) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Warrant Shares, immediately upon such exercise, to be listed on any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares are listed at the time of such exercise.

(v) The Company shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with, and all documentary, stamp, issuance and similar taxes and governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of a Warrant; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person other than the Holder, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

(g) Conditional Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if an exercise of any portion of a Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

(h) Reservation of Common Stock. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, and the par value per Warrant Share shall at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Exercise Price. The Company shall take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided in this Agreement without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the trading market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company shall not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise of any Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants.

3.04 Forced Exercise. At any time after the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Company shall be entitled to require all Holders, and each Holder shall be obligated if the Company so elects, to exercise the Warrants then held by such Holder, in whole or in part, by delivering notice (the “Forced Exercise Notice”) to each Holder, if, and only if, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock equals or exceeds two times the Exercise Price ($16.10 per share on the Original Issue Date) (as the Exercise Price may subsequently be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement) on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company delivers the Forced Exercise Notice. A Forced Exercise Notice shall be mailed, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to all of the Holders at their respective addresses appearing on the Warrant Register or books or transfer records of the Company or such other address designated in writing by the Holder. The Forced Exercise Notice shall specify the number of Warrants to be exercised and the as-adjusted Exercise Price. Warrants shall be considered exercised on the date of the Forced Exercise Notice. Holders shall notify the Company, pursuant to the instruction in the Forced Exercise Notice, within ten (10) Business Days of the date of the Forced Exercise Notice as to the payment method such Holder is electing with respect to the payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3.03(b) of this Agreement.

Section 4. Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the purchase rights granted under this Agreement and the Warrants, the Exercise Price and the Share Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4 (in each case, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4).

4.01 Adjustment of Number of Shares of Common Stock.

(a) If and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall:

(i) subdivide, redivide or change its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock;

(ii) reduce, combine or consolidate its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock; or

(iii) issue Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) to holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Stock by way of a share dividend (excluding Common Stock issued pursuant to the DRIP) or other distribution of Common Stock or securities exchangeable or convertible into Common Stock;

(any such events in (i), (ii) and (iii) being a “Common Stock Reorganization”), the Share Rate shall be adjusted immediately after the effective date or record date for the happening of a Common Stock Reorganization so that it equals the product of the Share Rate in effect on such effective date or record date and a fraction of which the numerator shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such event and the denominator shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to giving effect to such event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 4.01(a) shall occur.

(b) If and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Expiration Date, there is (i) a reclassification of the Common Stock or a capital reorganization of the Company other than as described in Section 4.01(a) of this Agreement, or (ii) a consolidation, arrangement, amalgamation, takeover or merger of the Company with or into any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity (other than a consolidation, arrangement, amalgamation, takeover or merger of the Company which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock), or (iii) a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another company or other entity in which holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive shares, other securities or other property, (any of such events being hereinafter in this Section 4 referred to as a “Reorganization”), any Holder who has not exercised its Warrants prior to the effective date of such Reorganization shall upon the exercise of such Warrants thereafter, be entitled to receive and shall accept, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock then sought to be acquired by it, the kind and number of shares or other securities or property of the Company or of the body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity resulting from such Reorganization, or to which such sale or conveyance may be made, as the case may be, that such Holder would have been entitled to receive on such Reorganization, if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, as the case may be, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of shares of Common Stock sought to be acquired by it, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in this Section 4. In determining the kind and amount of securities or the property receivable upon exercise of the Warrants following the completion of a Reorganization, if the holders of Common Stock have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon completion of such Reorganization, then each Holder shall have the right to make a similar election (including, without limitation, being subject to similar proration constraints) upon exercise of the Warrants with respect to the securities or property that the Holder will receive upon exercise of its Warrants.

(c) If and whenever the Company fixes a record date for the distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Stock of rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) at a price (or having a conversion price or exchange price) that is less than 95% of the Fair Market Value on such record date (any such events being a “Rights Offering”), the Share Rate will be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it equals the product of the Share Rate in effect on such record date and a fraction, the denominator of which will be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by such Fair Market Value; and the numerator of which will be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the exchangeable securities so offered are exchangeable). Any Common Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment will be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that any rights, options or warrants are not so issued or any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised before the expiration thereof, the Share Rate will then be readjusted

to the Share Rate which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Share Rate which would then be in effect based upon the number and aggregate price of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable into Common Stock) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be. For greater certainty, this Section 4.01(c) shall not apply in regard to any rights to acquire Common Stock pursuant to the DRIP.

(d) If and whenever the Company fixes a record date for the making of a dividend or distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Stock of:

(i) securities of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, including rights, options or warrants to acquire securities of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company or any of its property or assets and including evidences of indebtedness; or

(ii) any property or other assets, including evidences of its indebtedness, then and in each such case, subject to Section 4.01(e) of this Agreement, if such distribution or dividend does not constitute Distributions Paid in the Ordinary Course, a Common Stock Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being a “Special Distribution”), the Share Rate will be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it equals the product of the Share Rate in effect on such record date and a fraction, the denominator of which will be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Fair Market Value on the earlier of such record date and the date on which the Company announces its intention to make such a distribution, less the aggregate fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board, which determination will be conclusive) of such units, shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed, and the numerator of which will be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Fair Market Value. Any Common Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. If the amount of cash dividend or distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the determination date referred to above, then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive, upon exercise, the amount of cash so distributed that such Holder would have received had such Holder exercised each Warrant on such determination date referred to above. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Share Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Share Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Such adjustment will be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that such distribution is not so made, the Share Rate will then be readjusted to the Share Rate which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Share Rate which would then be in effect based upon such units, shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed, as the case may be.

(e) If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiration Date the Company shall fix a record date for the payment of a cash dividend or distribution (including any cash dividend or distribution subsequently reinvested pursuant to the DRIP) to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Stock in excess of the Distributions Paid in the Ordinary Course, the Share Rate shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Share Rate in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the Fair Market Value on such record date and of which the denominator shall be the Fair Market Value on such record date minus the incremental increase in cash per share of Common Stock distributed to holders of Common Stock in excess of the Distributions Paid in the Ordinary Course. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that any such cash dividend or distribution is not paid, the Share Rate shall be re-adjusted to the Share Rate which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.

(f) With respect to any rights or warrants (the “Rights”) that may be issued or distributed pursuant to any rights plan that the Company implements after the date of this Agreement (a “Rights Plan”), to the extent that such Rights Plan is in effect at the Exercise Date, the Holders will receive, with respect to the Common Stock issued upon such exercise, the Rights described therein (whether or not the Rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of exercise), subject to the limitations set forth in and in accordance with the provisions of any such Rights Plan; provided that, if, at the time of exercise, however, the Rights have separated from the Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the Rights Plan so that Holders would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants as a result of the timing of the Exercise Date, then (unless the Company distributes such Rights to the Holders at the time of separation as if each Holder had exercised their Warrants immediately prior to the record date with respect to such distribution) the Share Rate in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such Rights on separation shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Share Rate in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on such record date and of which the denominator shall be Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on such record date less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) on such record date of the Rights applicable to one share of Common Stock, subject to appropriate readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination, repurchase or redemption of the Rights. Other than as specified in this Section 4.01(f), there will not be any adjustment to the Share Rate as the result of the issuance of any Rights, the distribution of separate certificates representing such Rights, the exercise or redemption of such Rights in accordance with any Rights Plan or the termination or invalidation of any Rights.

(g) If any issuer bid (as defined in Section 4.01(h) of this Agreement) made by the Company or any of subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of Common Stock expires, then, if the issuer bid shall require the payment to holders of Common Stock of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (determined as provided below) that exceeds the closing price on the NYSE on the trading day next succeeding the last date (the “Issuer Bid Expiration Date”) deposits could have been made pursuant to such issuer bid (as it may be amended) (the last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Issuer Bid Expiration Date is hereinafter sometimes called the “Issuer Bid Expiration Time”), the applicable Share Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Share Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Issuer Bid Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the sum of (A) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration (the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) payable to holders of Common Stock based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the issuer bid) of all Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Issuer Bid Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”) and (B) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares and excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Issuer Bid Expiration Time and the closing price per share of Common Stock on the trading day next succeeding the Issuer Bid Expiration Date and the denominator of which shall be the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including Purchased Shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Issuer Bid Expiration Time multiplied by the closing price per share of Common Stock on the trading day next succeeding the Issuer Bid Expiration Date, such increase to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the seventh Trading Day following the Expiration Date. In the event that the

Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such issuer bid, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or all such purchases or any or all such purchases are rescinded, the Share Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Share Rate which would have been in effect based upon the number of shares actually purchased, if any. If the application of this Section 4.01(g) to any issuer bid would result in a decrease in the Share Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such issuer bid under this Section 4.01(g).

(h) For purposes of this Section 4.01, the term “issuer bid” shall mean and include both issuer bids and exchange offers and excludes any issuer bid carried out in accordance with applicable securities laws, all references to “purchases” of shares in issuer bids (and all similar references) shall mean and include both the purchase of shares in issuer bids and the acquisition of shares pursuant to exchange offers, and all references to “tendered shares” (and all similar references) shall mean and include shares tendered in both issuer bids and exchange offers.

(i) If the Company shall issue Common Stock (or rights or warrants or other securities exercisable or convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) (collectively, “Convertible Securities”) pursuant to a non-public offering (other than in Permitted Transactions (as defined below), or a transaction to which Section 4.01(d)(i) of this Agreement is applicable) without consideration or at a consideration per share of Common Stock (or having a conversion price per Common Stock) that is less than 95% of the Fair Market Value on the last trading day preceding the date of the agreement on pricing such Common Stock (or such Convertible Securities) (such date of the agreement on pricing, the “Pricing Date”) (any such events being a “Non-Public Offering”) then, in such event, the Share Rate in effect immediately prior to the Pricing Date shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying such Share Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Pricing Date and (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued (or into which Convertible Securities may be exercised or converted) and of which the denominator shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Pricing Date and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company for the total number of Common Stock so issued (or into which Convertible Securities may be exercised or converted) would purchase at the Fair Market Value on the last trading day preceding the Pricing Date, such increase to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the seventh Trading Day following the closing of the Non-Public Offering.

For purposes of the foregoing, the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company in connection with the issuance of such Common Stock or Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be equal to the sum of the offering price (including the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of any non-cash consideration and after deduction of any related expenses payable to third parties) of all such securities plus the minimum aggregate amount, if any, payable upon exercise or conversion of any such Convertible Securities into Common Stock; and “Permitted Transactions” shall mean issuances (i) in a merger or consolidation transaction, (ii) in connection with employee benefit plans and compensation related arrangements in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice approved by the Board, (iii) in connection with a public or broadly marketed offering and sale of Common Stock, securities convertible into Common Stock or rights or warrants entitling the holder to purchase Common Stock for cash, conducted on a basis consistent with offerings by public companies of similar size in their own capital raising transactions, or (iv) pursuant to the DRIP. Such adjustments shall be made successively for whatever shares of Common Stock are issued (or into which Convertible Securities may be exercised or converted).

(j) The adjustments provided for in this Section 4 in the number of shares of Common Stock and classes of securities which are to be received on the exercise of Warrants are cumulative and will be computed to the nearest one-hundredth of a share of Common Stock. After any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, the term “Common Stock” where used in this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean Common Stock or securities of any class or classes or property that, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4, the Holder is entitled to receive upon the exercise of its Warrant, and the number of shares of Common Stock indicated by any exercise made pursuant to a Warrant shall be interpreted to mean the number of shares of Common Stock or other property or securities that a Holder is entitled to receive, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.01, upon the exercise of a Warrant. Provided that, notwithstanding any other provision for this Section 4.01, no adjustment of the Share Rate will be required:

(i) unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Share Rate then in effect (provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason of this Section 4.01(j)(i) is not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment);

(ii) if, in respect of any event described in this Section 4.01(a)(ii) (other than the events referred to in Sections 4.01(a)(i) and 4.01(a)(iii) of this Agreement). The Holders of Warrants are entitled to participate in such event on the same terms (subject to receipt of any approval required by the NYSE), with the necessary changes, as if the Warrants had been exercised prior to or on the effective date of or record date for such event;

(iii) in respect of any Common Stock issuable or issued pursuant to any stock option or stock purchase plan in force from time to time for directors, officers or employees of the Company or of subsidiaries of the Company or pursuant to the DRIP; or

(iv) in respect of any Common Stock issuable or issued pursuant to the Warrants.

(k) For purposes of this Section 4.01, “record date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of holders entitled to receive such cash, security or other property (whether or not such date is fixed by the Board or by statute, contract or otherwise).

(l) If one or more events occur requiring an adjustment be made to the Share Rate for a particular period, adjustments to the Share Rate shall be determined by the Board to reflect the combined impact of such Share Rate adjustment events, as set out in this Section 4.01, during such period. If the Company sets a record date to determine the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any distribution or sets a record date to take any other action and thereafter and before the distribution to such holders of Common Stock of any such distribution or the taking of any other action, legally abandons its plan to pay or deliver such distribution or take such other action, then no adjustment in the Share Rate shall be made.

(m) In the absence of a resolution of the Board fixing a record date for a Special Distribution or Rights Offering, the Company will be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date on which the Special Distribution or Rights Offering is effected.

(n) If the Company, after the date hereof, shall take any action affecting the Common Stock, other than an action described in this Section 4.01, which in the opinion of the Board, acting reasonably, would materially affect the rights of Holders, the Share Rate shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board, acting reasonably, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances, provided that no such adjustment will be made unless any requisite prior approval of any

stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed for trading has been obtained. Failure of the taking of action by the Board so as to provide for an adjustment in the Share Rate prior to the effective date of any action by the Company affecting the Common Stock shall be conclusive evidence that the Board has determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

(o) As a condition precedent to the taking of any action that would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.01, the Company shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory or NYSE approvals, or the approval of the holders of Voting Stock of the Company, or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all Common Stock that the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 4.01.

(p) Where any adjustment is made to the Share Rate pursuant to this Section 4.01, a corresponding adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Share Rate in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator shall be the Share Rate in effect immediately following such adjustment.

4.02 Certificate as to Adjustment.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Share Rate or the Exercise Price, but in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to Holders a certificate of an Officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and describing the number and kind of any other securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and any change in the Share Rate or Exercise Price after giving effect to such adjustment or change.

(b) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of a written request by any Holder, but in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to such Holder a certificate of an Officer certifying the Exercise Price and Share Rate then in effect or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or assets then issuable upon exercise of a Warrant.

4.03 Notice of Certain Events. Subject to the Company’s compliance with applicable law, if the Company proposes at any time:

(a) to take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, to vote at a meeting (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security;

(b) any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or the conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety, or of any reclassification or change of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, or a tender offer or exchange offer by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to acquire Common Stock;

(d) to take any action that would require an adjustment of the Exercise Price of the Warrants; or

(e) any Change of Control,

then, and in each such case, the Company shall send or cause to be sent to each Holder at its address as set forth in the Warrant Register, at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent, or (B) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Warrants and the Warrant Shares.

4.04 Form of Warrant. The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, and Warrant Certificates issued after such adjustment may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of shares of Common Stock as is stated in the Warrant initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. However, the Company may, at any time, in its sole discretion, make any change in the form of Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant Certificates thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

4.05 No Rights as Stockholder. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares to which the Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of a Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Agreement be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, 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, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise. In addition, nothing contained in this Agreement or the Warrants shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of a Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 4.05, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.

4.06 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, 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 to be observed or performed by it under any Warrant or hereunder, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Agreement and the Warrants and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by any Holder in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holders against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Agreement and the Warrants.

4.07 Registration of Common Stock. The Company agrees, on or prior to seventy-five (75) days after the Original Issue Date, to prepare and file, at its expense, with the SEC a registration statement or a prospectus supplement to an existing registration statement of the Company, for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the

Warrants. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective, if applicable, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until the Expiration Date and with respect to the resale of such shares of Common Stock for so long as such shares remain Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), in each case, in accordance with the provisions and subject to the exceptions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. In addition, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register such securities under the blue sky laws of the states of residence of the exercising Holders to the extent an exemption under the Securities Act is not available for the exercise of the Warrants.

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

5.01 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt) by delivery in person, by an internationally recognized courier service, by fax or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by notice given in accordance with this Section 5.01):

5.02 Amendment. This Agreement and any Warrant Certificate may be amended by the parties hereto by executing a supplemental warrant agreement, without the consent of any of the Holders, for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained herein, or making any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement that is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or the Warrants, (ii) evidencing the succession of another corporation to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company contained in this Agreement and the Warrants, (iii) adding to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or surrendering any right or power conferred upon the Company under this Agreement, or amending this Agreement and the Warrants in any manner that the Company may deem to be necessary or desirable and that will not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect.

5.07 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law, or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either party hereto. Upon a determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

In the event that upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised shall be less than the total number of Warrants evidenced hereby, there shall be issued to the Holder hereof or such Holder’s permitted assignee a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants not exercised.

The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain events the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, each as set forth on the face hereof, may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted.

Warrant Certificates, when surrendered to the Company by the Holder thereof in person or by legal representative or attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, but without payment of any service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants.

Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of this Warrant Certificate to the Company, a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for this Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge.

The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder(s) hereof as the absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise hereof, of any distribution to the Holder(s) hereof, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Warrant Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the supplementing or amendment thereof in writing at any time by the Company and the Investor. Any such supplement or amendment shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and the Holders and upon all future Holders of this Warrant and any Warrant issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange thereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon such Warrant or any other Warrant.
