CSubject to the provisions of the next succeeding paragraph, certificates or book entry recordations for the shares so purchased shall be delivered to the holder hereof or his designee promptly after such surrender and delivery, and, unless this Warrant shall have expired, a new Warrant representing the number of shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be delivered to the holder hereof.

2.Agreement of Holder. The holder of this Warrant, by his acceptance hereof, represents that he is acquiring this Warrant, and will acquire the Common Stock issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant by such holder, for his own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof or with any present intention of selling any thereof, except for a sale of such Common Stock in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, state securities or corporation laws, rules and regulations under any of the foregoing and applicable requirements of any securities exchange upon which the Company’s securities shall be listed and the rules and the regulations thereunder.

4.Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 8 or 9 of the Plan, the Warrants may be adjusted in accordance with Section 8 and/or Section 9 of the Plan; provided that, to the extent that the Company accelerates or makes any anti-dilutive or similar adjustments to substantially all of the outstanding stock options issued to the Company’s senior executives, then the Company shall make substantially similar acceleration and/or adjustments to the Warrants, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law and the rules and regulations of the applicable stock exchange.

9.Warrant Exchangeable; Loss, Theft, Destruction, Etc.

Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of a bond or indemnity satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender or cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will issue to the holder hereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in lieu of this Warrant, representing the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of Common Stock which may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder.

10.Limitations on Transferability; Securities Act Compliance, Registration. The Warrants may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold, gifted, loaned or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Executive (“Transfer”) other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or as otherwise permitted under of the Plan. In the event of the Executive's death, the Warrants shall thereafter be exercisable (to the extent otherwise exercisable hereunder) only by the Executive's executors or administrators. The Common Stock acquired following the exercise of the Warrants may be transferred at any time subject to compliance with applicable law, Sections 10(C) below and compliance with any written holding requirement policy adopted by the Company for senior executives. On or prior to the time at which this Warrant shall become vested in whole or in part or as reasonably promptly practicable thereafter, the Company shall register the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to a Registration Statement (as defined below); provided that, at the Executive’s written election, the vesting of Initial Tranche may be delayed until the Company files a Registration Statement and such Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission.

ADefinitions. As used in this Section 10, the following definitions shall be applicable:

“Commission” shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal agency at the time administering the federal securities laws.

“Prospectus” shall mean any preliminary prospectus and final prospectus (as such may be amended or supplemented) which constitutes Part I of a Registration Statement filed with the Commission.

“Registration Statement” shall mean the form and documents required to be filed by an issuer in connection with the registration of securities of such issuer under

4

Exhibit 10.2

the Securities Act, including a registration statement on Form S-8 or other form as the Company determines appropriate.

“Restricted Securities” shall mean (i) this Warrant and any warrant or warrants issued in exchange therefor or in replacement thereof and (ii) the Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or such other warrants; the certificates for all of which bear the legend referred to in Section 10B; provided, however, that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall not be treated as Restricted Securities to the extent registered pursuant to a Registration Statement.

“Securities Act” shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time.

BLegends.

(1)Unless and until removed as provided in the next paragraph, this Warrant (and any Warrant or Warrants issued in exchange herefor or replacement hereof) and each certificate or recordation evidencing Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

In the case of this Warrant: “THE TRANSFER OF THIS WARRANT AND THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS CONTAINED IN SECTION 10 HEREOF, AND THE HOLDER OF THIS WARRANT BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AGREES TO BE BOUND BY SUCH RESTRICTIONS.”

In the case of Common Stock: “THE TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS CONTAINED IN SECTION 10 OF A COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT AGREEMENT, DATED MARCH 10, 2014, AND THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE OR RECORDATION BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AGREES TO BE BOUND BY SUCH RESTRICTIONS. A COPY OF SUCH WARRANT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE COMPANY WITH THE CORPORATE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”

The Company may issue such “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent with respect to all or any of the Restricted Securities as it deems appropriate to prevent any violation of the provisions of this Section 10 or of the Securities Act.

(2)The Company shall issue a new Warrant or certificate or recordation which does not contain the legend set forth in Section 10B(1) if (i) the shares represented thereby are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement (including a current Prospectus) which has become and is effective under the Securities Act or (ii) the staff of the Commission shall have issued a “no action” letter to the effect that, or counsel acceptable to the Company shall have rendered

5

Exhibit 10.2

its opinion (which opinion shall be acceptable to the Company) that, such securities may be sold without registration under the Securities Act.

(3)At the time of any exercise of this Warrant, if believed in good faith to be reasonably necessary or appropriate to assure compliance with the requirements of the applicable law, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such exercise, that the holder of this Warrant furnish to the Company such information as, in the opinion of the Company, is reasonably necessary in order to establish that such exercise is made in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or may be made without registration under the Securities Act, including without limitation a written statement that such holder is acquiring the security receivable upon such exercise for its own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof or with any present intention of selling any thereof.

CNotice of Transfer; Opinion of Counsel. If a holder of Restricted Securities proposes to transfer all or a portion of such securities, such holder shall give the Company written notice specifying the securities involved and describing the manner in which the proposed transfer is to be made, together with either (i) at the Company’s request, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company stating in substance that registration under the Securities Act is not required with respect to such transfer (the reasonable fees and expenses of such opinion of counsel to be paid by the Company) or (ii) a “no action” letter from the staff of the Commission with respect to such transfer. Following delivery of a notice accompanied by an opinion of counsel to the effect set forth above or by such a “no action” letter, such holder shall have the right to transfer, in a manner consistent with its notice to the Company, the Restricted Securities proposed to be transferred, unless the Company determines within 20 days following such delivery that registration under the Securities Act is required with respect to such proposed transfer. Such holder shall cooperate with the Company for the purpose of permitting such determination to be made, including, to the extent deemed necessary by the Company, procuring and delivering to the Company an investment letter signed by the proposed transferee and subject to statutory minimum tax withholding liability requirements.

11.Taxes and Withholding. The Executive shall be responsible for all income taxes payable in respect of the exercise of the Warrant and the acquisition of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. The Executive shall be required to pay to the Company, and the Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold any cash, Common Stock, other securities or other property or from any compensation or other amounts owing to the Executive, the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect of the Common Stock, and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes, if applicable. In addition, the Executive shall be permitted to satisfy this obligation pursuant to Section 11(c)(ii) of the Plan, without requiring the Committee’s consent, subject to any limitations that the Board or Committee may impose in order for the Company to remain in compliance with any debt or indenture covenants or similar undertakings.

12.Section 409A. It is intended that the Shares be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and this Warrant shall be interpreted consistent therewith. This Warrant is subject to Section 11(q) of the Plan.

14.Entire Agreement.
