(b) Book Entry Provisions. Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Agreement with respect to any Global Warrant held on their behalf by the Depository or by the Warrant Agent as the custodian of the Depository or under such Global Warrant, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the Warrant Agent and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent as the absolute owner of such Global Warrant for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this

Agreement shall prevent the Company, the Warrant Agent or any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of the Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Warrant. This Section 2.01(b) shall apply only to a Global Warrant deposited with or on behalf of the Depository.

(b) If an Officer whose signature is on a Warrant Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Warrant Agent countersigns the Warrant Certificate, the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate shall be valid nevertheless.

(c) The Warrant Agent may appoint an agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to countersign the Warrant Certificates. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, such agent may countersign Warrant Certificates whenever the Warrant Agent may do so. Each reference in this Agreement to countersignature by the Warrant Agent includes countersignature by such agent. Such agent will have the same rights as the Warrant Agent for service of notices and demands.

(d) At any time and from time to time after the execution of this Agreement, the Warrant Agent or an agent reasonably acceptable to the Company shall upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by two (2) Officers of the Company manually countersign for issue a Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants specified in such order; provided, however, that the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to receive an Officers’ Certificate that it may reasonably request in connection with such countersignature of Warrants. Such order shall specify the number of Warrants to be evidenced on the Warrant Certificate to be countersigned, the date on which such Warrant Certificate is to be countersigned, and the number of Warrants then authorized.

(e) The Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Warrant Agent or its agent as provided above manually countersigns the Warrant Certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Warrant Certificate has been countersigned under this Agreement.

Section 2.03. Certificate Register. The Warrant Agent shall keep a register (the “Certificate Register”) of the Warrant Certificates and of their Transfer and exchange. The Certificate Register shall show the names and addresses of the respective registered holders and the date and number of Warrants evidenced on the face of each of the Warrant Certificates. The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Warrant

Certificate is registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant Certificate for all purposes whatsoever and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(i) The Transfer and exchange of the beneficial interests in Global Warrants shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with this Agreement (including applicable restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Agreement), the procedures of the Depository therefor and Applicable Law. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant shall deliver to the Warrant Agent a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Warrants.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.05), a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or another nominee of such successor Depository.

(iii) In the event that a Global Warrant is exchanged and transferred for Certificated Warrants pursuant to Section 2.05, such Warrants may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.04 and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company as well as in accordance with Applicable Law.

(i) Prior to any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Certificated Warrants, the holder of such Certificated Warrants shall (A) deliver a transfer form substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Transfer Notice”) to the Company and the Warrant Agent of such Holder’s intention to effect such transfer, describing the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer, and (B) surrender such Certificated Warrants. After receipt of such Transfer Notice, the Warrant Agent shall direct the Depository to effect the proposed transfer.

(ii) Prior to any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Certificated Warrants, the holder of such Certificated Warrants shall (A) deliver a Transfer Notice to the Company and the Warrant Agent, and (B) surrender the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants. After receipt by the Warrant Agent of the Transfer Notice and the Officers’ Certificate referred to in Section 2.02(d), such Holder shall thereupon be entitled to Transfer such Certificated Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Transfer Notice.

(iii) A Holder of a Certificated Warrant may (A) exchange such Certificated Warrant for a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant, or (B) Transfer such

Certificated Warrant to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant. The exchanging or transferring Holder shall surrender the Warrant Certificates representing the transferred or exchanged Warrants and deliver to the Warrant Agent a Transfer Notice with respect to such Certificated Warrants, together with written instructions directing the Warrant Agent to make, or to direct the Depository to make, an endorsement on the Global Warrant to reflect an increase in the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant equal to the number of Certificated Warrants represented by such Warrants, then the Warrant Agent shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depository to credit the account of the Person specified in such instructions as a beneficial interest in the Global Warrant. If no Global Warrant is then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign a new Global Warrant representing the appropriate number of Warrants. Following any such Transfer or exchange, the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent in accordance with Section 2.08(b).

“ANY TRANSFER OF THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE WARRANT AGREEMENT (THE “WARRANT AGREEMENT”) DATED AS OF AUGUST 7, 2017 BETWEEN NUVERRA ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND AMERICAN STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, LLC, SOLELY IN ITS CAPACITY AS WARRANT AGENT. BY ACCEPTING DELIVERY OF THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, ANY TRANSFEREE SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE AGREED TO BE BOUND BY THE WARRANT AGREEMENT AS IF THE TRANSFEREE HAD EXECUTED AND DELIVERED THE WARRANT AGREEMENT.”

Each Global Warrant will bear legends required by the Depository substantially in the following form:

“UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF AMERICAN STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, LLC (“AST”), TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN SUCH NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF AST (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO SUCH ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF AST) ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT AGREEMENT REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE HEREOF.”

(d) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Warrant. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Warrant have been exchanged for Certificated Warrants, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Warrant shall be returned to the Depository for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Warrant Agent, and, after such cancellation, shall, subject to Section 2.08(b), be destroyed in accordance with the Warrant Agent’s standard procedures. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Warrant is exchanged for Certificated Warrants, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the number of Warrants represented by such Global Warrant shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Warrant Agent (or such other custodian as the Depository may direct) with respect to such Global Warrant, by the Warrant Agent (or such other custodian as the Depository may direct) to reflect such reduction.

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall countersign Certificated Warrants and Global Warrants as required pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.02 and this Section 2.04.

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of Transfer or exchange upon surrender of any Warrant Certificate at the office of the Warrant Agent maintained for that purpose, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of Transfer or exchange of Warrant Certificates.

(iii) All Warrants issued upon any Transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Warrants surrendered upon such Transfer or exchange.

(i) The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Beneficial Owner of a Global Warrant, a member of, or a participant in, the Depository or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Warrants or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, Beneficial Owner, or other Person (other than the Depository) of any notice or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Warrants. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Warrants shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global Warrant). Unless otherwise specified, the rights of Beneficial Owners in any Global Warrant shall be exercised only through the Depository subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository. The Warrant Agent may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its members, participants, and any Beneficial Owner.

(ii) The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine, or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on Transfer under Applicable Law with respect to any Transfer of any interest in any Warrant (including any transfers between or among the Depository participants, members, or Beneficial Owners in any Global Warrant) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Agreement, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(a) A Global Warrant deposited with the Depository or with the Warrant Agent as custodian for the Depository pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be transferred to the Beneficial Owners thereof in the form of Certificated Warrants in a number equal to the number of Warrants represented by such Global Warrant, in exchange for such Global Warrant, if such Transfer complies with Section 2.04 and the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Warrant or if at any time the Depository ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and, in each such case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days of such notice.

(b) Any Global Warrant that is transferable to the Beneficial Owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Warrant Agent, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver, upon such Transfer of each portion of such Global Warrant, an equal number of Certificated Warrants.

(c) Any Certificated Warrants delivered in exchange for an interest in the Global Warrant shall bear the legends set forth in Section 2.04(c).

(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(b), the registered Holder of a Warrant may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Agreement or the Warrants.

(e) If the event specified in Section 2.05(a) occurs, then the Company will promptly make available to the Warrant Agent a reasonable supply of Certificated Warrants in definitive, fully registered form.

Section 2.06. Replacement Certificates. If a mutilated Warrant Certificate is surrendered to the Warrant Agent or if the Holder of a Warrant Certificate claims that the Warrant Certificate has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign a replacement Warrant Certificate if the reasonable requirements of the Warrant Agent and of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code, or any successor statute thereto then in effect in the State of New York, are met. If required by the Warrant Agent or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Warrant Agent to protect the Company and the Warrant Agent from any loss which either of them may suffer if a Warrant Certificate is replaced. The Company and the Warrant Agent may charge the Holder for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a

Warrant Certificate. Every replacement Warrant Certificate issued by the Company and countersigned by the Warrant Agent shall evidence a valid and binding obligation of the Company.

Section 2.07. Outstanding Warrants. Warrants outstanding at any time are all Warrants evidenced on all Warrant Certificates authenticated by the Warrant Agent except for those canceled by it and those delivered to it for cancellation. A Warrant does not cease to be outstanding because an Affiliate of the Company (that is not a Subsidiary) holds the Warrant. A Warrant ceases to be outstanding and shall no longer be exercisable if the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company holds the Warrant. If a Warrant Certificate is replaced pursuant to Section 2.06, the Warrants evidenced by the replaced Warrant Certificate cease to be outstanding and shall no longer be exercisable unless the Warrant Agent and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Warrant Certificate is held by a bona fide purchaser.

(a) In the event the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire Certificated Warrants, the same shall thereupon be delivered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation and may not be re-issued.

(b) The Warrant Agent and no one else shall cancel and destroy all Warrant Certificates surrendered for transfer, exchange, replacement, exercise or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company unless the Company directs the Warrant Agent to deliver canceled Warrant Certificates to the Company. The Company may not issue new Warrant Certificates to replace Warrant Certificates to the extent they evidence Warrants which have been exercised or Warrants which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company has purchased or otherwise acquired.

Section 2.09. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Warrants may use “CUSIP” numbers and, if so, the Warrant Agent shall use such “CUSIP” numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Warrant Certificates or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Warrant Certificates.

(a) Each Warrant, when exercised, shall initially entitle the Holder thereof, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, to purchase one share of Common Stock (collectively, the “Warrant Shares”). The exercise price of each Warrant is equal to $39.82 (the “Exercise Price”), subject to adjustment.

(b) If as a result of an adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants pursuant to ARTICLE IV, the Exercise Price is reduced

below the par value of the Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be increased to the minimum exercise price required by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Warrants shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after the date of issuance subject to Section 3.02(b).

(b) Each Warrant shall expire, and no Warrant shall be exercisable, after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, upon the later of (i) the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) the MDJ Option Expiration Date, except that in no event shall the term of the Warrants exceed the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Expiration Time”).

Section 3.03. Expiration. A Warrant shall terminate and become void as of the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Time; or (ii) the date such Warrant is exercised in full. The Company shall give notice not less than thirty (30), and not more than sixty (60), days prior to the Expiration Time to the Holders of all then outstanding Warrants to the effect that the Warrants will terminate and become void as of the Expiration Time; provided, however, that if the Company fails to give notice as provided in this Section 3.03, the Warrants will nevertheless expire and become void on the Expiration Time.

(a) Warrants may be exercised upon (i) delivery of the form of election to purchase Common Stock attached hereto as Exhibit C duly completed and signed by the Holder and, (A) with respect to any Warrants held by any Holder through a direct or indirect participant of the Depository, by effecting exercise pursuant to the applicable rules of the Depository for warrant exercise, and (B) with respect to Certificated Warrants, the surrender to the Warrant Agent at the office of the Warrant Agent of the related Warrant Certificate; and (ii) payment to the Warrant Agent, for the account of the Company, of the applicable Exercise Price for each Warrant Share issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants then exercised (a “Cash Exercise”). Such payment shall be made in cash by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of funds to an account designated by the Company for such purpose.

(b) Warrants may also be exercised without the payment of cash, by reducing the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon the exercise of a Warrant so as to yield a number of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Warrant equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable as of the Exercise Date upon the exercise of such Warrant (if payment of the applicable Exercise Price were being made in cash); and (ii) the Cashless Exercise Ratio. An exercise of a Warrant in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence is herein called a “Cashless Exercise.” Upon surrender of a Warrant Certificate representing more than one Warrant in connection with the Holder’s option to elect a Cashless Exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon a Cashless Exercise shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants that the Holder specifies are to be exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise multiplied by the

Cashless Exercise Ratio. All provisions of this Agreement with respect to a Cashless Exercise shall be applicable with respect to a surrender of a Warrant Certificate pursuant to a Cashless Exercise for less than the full number of Warrants represented thereby.

(c) Subject to Section 3.02, the rights represented by the Warrants shall be exercisable at the election of the Holders thereof either in full at any time or from time to time in part and in the event that a Warrant Certificate is surrendered for exercise of less than all the Warrants represented by such Warrant Certificate at any time prior to the Expiration Time, a new Warrant Certificate representing the remaining Warrants shall be issued. In the case of Certificated Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver to the Holders the required new Certificated Warrants, and the Company, at the Warrant Agent’s request, shall supply the Warrant Agent with Certificated Warrants duly signed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.

(a) Upon the exercise of Warrants in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall issue and cause a transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “Stock Transfer Agent”) to countersign and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock so purchased upon the exercise of such Warrants or other securities or property to which it is entitled, registered or otherwise, to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same (including any depositary institution so designated by a Holder), together with cash as provided in Section 3.06 in respect of any fractional shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such exercise; provided, however, that if, at such date, the transfer books for the shares of Common Stock shall be closed, the certificates for the Common Stock in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised shall be issuable as of the date on which such books shall next be opened and until such date the Company shall be under no duty to deliver any certificates for such Common Stock; provided further, however, that such transfer books, unless otherwise required by law, shall not be closed at any one time for a period longer than ten (10) calendar days. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares of Common Stock as of the date of the exercise of Warrants pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.05(a) to the contrary, no Warrant (certificated or otherwise) shall provide any Beneficial Owner or Holder a right to receive certificated Common Stock if the Board has duly resolved, prior to the exercise of such Warrant, that the Common Stock shall not be certificated and shall be held by book entry.

Section 3.06. Fractional Shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock on the exercise of Warrants. If more than one (1) Warrant shall be exercised in full at the same time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon such exercise shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchasable pursuant thereto. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 3.06, be issuable upon the exercise of any Warrant (or specified portion thereof), the Company will pay an

amount in cash equal to the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock, as determined on the Business Day immediately preceding the date the Warrant is presented for exercise, multiplied by such fraction of a share of Common Stock, computed to the nearest whole cent.

(a) The Company shall at all times keep reserved out of its authorized Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The registrar for the Common Stock shall at all times until the Expiration Time reserve such number of authorized shares as shall be required for such purpose. The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the Stock Transfer Agent. Subject to Section 3.05(b), the Company will supply such Stock Transfer Agent with duly executed stock certificates for such purpose and will itself provide or otherwise make available any cash which may be payable as provided in Section 3.06. The Company will furnish to such Stock Transfer Agent a copy of all notices of adjustments (and certificates related thereto) transmitted to each Holder pursuant to Section 4.09. The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violating the Company’s governing documents, any agreements to which the Company is a party on the date hereof, any requirements of any national securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed or any applicable Laws.

(b) The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of and payment for Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall, upon issue, be fully paid, nonassessable, free from all stamp and documentary taxes, and free from all liens, charges, and security interests with respect to the issue thereof.

Section 3.08. Purchase of Warrants by Company; No Redemption. Subject to complying with Applicable Law and all restrictions contained in any other agreement to which they are parties, the Company and its Subsidiaries may purchase in the open market, by private contracts or otherwise, all or any portion of the Warrants on such terms as the Company may obtain. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall have no right to redeem the Warrants.

Section 4.01. Dividends and Other Distributions. If at any time and from time to time the Company shall distribute to all holders of shares of Common Stock any dividend or other distribution of (including any dividend or distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) or otherwise issue to all holders of Common Stock (a) evidences of its indebtedness, shares of its Capital Stock, or any other properties or securities, or (b) any options, warrants, or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any of the foregoing (other than in the case of clauses (a) and (b) above, (i) any dividend or distribution described in Section 4.02, or (ii) any rights, options, warrants, or securities described in Section 4.03, or Section 4.04), then the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such record date for any such dividend or distribution shall,

automatically and without the requirement of further action by the Company or any Holder, be increased to a number determined by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such record date for any such dividend or distribution by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock on the record date for such dividend or distribution, and the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Value per share of Common Stock less the then Current Market Value of the portion, if any, of the distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock consisting of evidences of indebtedness, securities, other property, warrants, options, or subscription or purchase rights. Such adjustments shall be made, and shall only become effective, whenever any dividend or distribution is made; provided, however, that the Company is not required to make an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.01 if at the time of such distribution the Company makes the same distribution to Holders as it makes to holders of Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrants are exercisable (whether or not currently exercisable). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.01, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.01 that shall have the effect of decreasing the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant.

Section 4.02. Changes in Common Stock. If at any time and from time to time the Company shall (a) pay a dividend or make a distribution on the Common Stock with shares of Common Stock or other shares of Capital Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, (c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (d) increase or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding by reclassification of its Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately after the happening of such event shall be adjusted so that, after giving effect to such adjustment, the Holder of each Warrant shall be entitled to receive the number of Warrant Shares upon exercise of such Warrant that such Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive had such Warrants been exercised (whether or not currently exercisable) immediately prior to the happening of the events described above (or, in the case of a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, immediately prior to the record date therefor). An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall become effective immediately after the distribution date, retroactive to the record date therefor in the case of a dividend or distribution in shares of Common Stock or other shares of Capital Stock, and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

Section 4.03. Common Stock Issue. If at any time or from time to time the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share that is less than the Current Market Value of Common Stock as of the pricing date of such shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately after such issuance date shall be determined by multiplying (a) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such issuance date by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the issuance of such Warrant Shares plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be issued in such transaction, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the date for the issuance of such Warrant Shares. Adjustments shall be made, and shall only become effective, whenever shares are issued. No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.03, (i) that shall have the effect of decreasing

the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant, or (ii) on account of the Company’s issuance of any Common Stock (A) in accordance with terms of a Management Incentive Plan, (B) upon the exercise of any rights, options, or warrants issued in accordance with terms of a Management Incentive Plan, or (C) in connection with any Exempted Strategic Equity Issuances.

Section 4.04. Issuance of Rights, Options, or Warrants. If at any time or from time to time the Company shall issue (a) rights, options, or warrants to acquire, or (b) securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Common Stock for a consideration per share that is less than the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock as of the pricing date of such shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately after such issuance shall be determined by multiplying (i) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such issuance by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants, or securities plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase or into which such securities are convertible or exchangeable, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants, or securities. Such adjustment shall be made, and shall only become effective, whenever such rights, options, warrants or securities are issued. No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.04 (A) that shall have the effect of decreasing the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant, or (B) on account of the Company’s issuance of any rights, options, or warrants (i) in accordance with the terms of a Management Incentive Plan or (ii) in connection with any Exempted Strategic Equity Issuances.

Section 4.05. Voluntary Increases. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, make increases in the number of Warrant Shares, in addition to those required by Section 4.01 through Section 4.04 of this ARTICLE IV, as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for United States federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients, or if that is not possible, to diminish any income taxes that are otherwise payable because of such event.

(a) In the event that at any time a Liquidity Event occurs, then, to the extent any Warrants will remain outstanding immediately following such Liquidity Event, as a condition of the consummation of the Liquidity Event, lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder, upon the exercise thereof at any time on or after the consummation of the Liquidity Event, shall be entitled to receive, and such Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to receive, the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property which the holder of a share of Common Stock is entitled to receive upon completion of the Liquidity Event. Subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 4.06, the Company will not effect any Liquidity Event unless prior to the consummation thereof each corporation or entity (other than the Company) which may be required to deliver any securities or other property upon the exercise of the Warrants as provided in this Agreement shall assume, by written instrument delivered to each Holder of the Warrants, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such securities or other property as in accordance with the foregoing provisions such Holder may be entitled to receive. The

foregoing provisions of this Section 4.06 shall similarly apply to successive mergers, consolidations, sales of assets, liquidations, and recapitalizations.

(b) In the event of (i) a Liquidity Event where consideration to all holders of the Common Stock (or any other security into which the Warrants are then exercisable) in exchange for their securities is payable solely in cash, or (ii) the dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of the Company, the Holders shall be entitled to receive, upon surrender of their Warrants, such cash distributions (or, in the case of in-kind distributions upon dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of the Company, such other consideration as is being so distributed) on an equal basis with the holders of Common Stock (or any other security into which the Warrants are then exercisable) in exchange for their securities, as if the Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to such event (whether or not currently exercisable), less the Exercise Price.

(c) In the event of any Liquidity Event described in Section 4.06(b), the surviving or acquiring Person and, in the event of any dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of the Company, the Company, shall deposit promptly with the Warrant Agent the funds, if any, necessary to pay the Holders the amounts to which they are entitled as described above. After such funds and the surrendered Warrants are received, the Warrant Agent shall make payment to the Holders by delivering a check or wire transfer in such amount as is appropriate (or, in the case of consideration other than cash, such other consideration as is appropriate) to such Person or Persons as it may be directed in writing by the Holders surrendering such Warrants.

Section 4.07. Superseding Adjustment. Upon the expiration of any rights, options, warrants, conversion, or exchange privileges which resulted in adjustments pursuant to this ARTICLE IV, if any thereof shall not have been exercised, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be readjusted pursuant to the applicable section of this ARTICLE IV as if (a) the only Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of such rights, options, warrants, conversion, or exchange privileges were the Warrant Shares, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options, warrants, or conversion or exchange privileges, and (b) Warrant Shares actually issued, if any, were issuable for the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise plus the aggregate consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the issuance, sale, or grant of all such rights, options, warrants, conversion, or exchange privileges whether or not exercised; provided, however, that no such readjustment (except by reason of an intervening adjustment under any other provision of this ARTICLE IV) shall have the effect of decreasing the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant by an amount in excess of the amount of the adjustment initially made in respect of the issuance, sale, or grant of such rights, options, warrants, conversion, or exchange privileges.

Section 4.08. Minimum Adjustment. The adjustments required by the preceding sections of this ARTICLE IV shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that no adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants that would otherwise be required shall be made unless and until such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made increases or decreases by at least one percent (1%) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a

change of less than such minimum amount shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this ARTICLE IV and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence. In computing adjustments under this ARTICLE IV, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one-ten millionth (1/10,000,000^th) of a share.

Section 4.09. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent a certificate of the Company’s chief executive officer or chief financial officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis and all supporting documentation on which (a) the Board determined the then fair value of any evidences of indebtedness, other securities, property, warrants, options, or other subscription or purchase rights, and (b) the Current Market Value of the Common Stock was determined, if either of such determinations were required), and specifying the number Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants after giving effect to such adjustment. The Company shall promptly cause the Warrant Agent to deliver such certificate to each Holder in accordance with Section 5.02(f). The Warrant Agent shall be entitled to rely on such certificate and shall be under no duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate, except to exhibit the same from time to time, to any Holder desiring an inspection thereof during reasonable business hours. The Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of the Warrants, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making such adjustment or the validity or value of any Warrant Shares.

Section 4.10. Notice of Certain Transactions. In the event that the Company shall propose to (a) pay any dividend payable in securities of any class to the holders of its Common Stock or to make any other non-cash dividend or distribution to the holders of its Common Stock, (b) offer the holders of its Common Stock rights to subscribe for or to purchase any securities convertible into shares of Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights, or options, (c) issue any (i) shares of Common Stock, (ii) rights, options, or warrants entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for shares of Common Stock, or (iii) securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock , (d) effect any capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, or merger, (e) effect the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of the Company, or (f) make a tender offer or exchange offer with respect to the Common Stock, the Company shall within five (5) Business Days after any such action or offer send to the Warrant Agent a notice of such proposed action or offer and the Warrant Agent shall send the Holders a notice thereof in accordance with Section 5.02(f) (in such form as shall be furnished to the Warrant Agent by the Company). Such notice shall specify the record date for the purposes of such dividend, distribution, or rights, or the date such issuance or event is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any such date is to be fixed, and shall briefly indicate the effect, if any, of such action on the Common Stock and on the number and kind of any other shares of stock and on other property, if any, and the number of Warrant Shares and other property, if any, issuable upon exercise of each Warrant after giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to ARTICLE IV which

will be required as a result of such action. Such notice shall be given as promptly as possible and (A) in the case of any action covered by clause (a) or (b) above, at least ten (10) days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Common Stock for purposes of such action, or (B) in the case of any other such action, at least twenty (20) days prior to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, whichever shall be the earlier.

Section 4.11. Adjustment to Warrant Certificate. The form of Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment made pursuant to this ARTICLE IV, and Warrant Certificates issued after such adjustment may state the same number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants as are stated in the Warrant Certificates initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Company, however, may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate to give effect to such adjustments and that does not affect the substance of the Warrant Certificate, and any Warrant Certificate thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

Section 4.12. Tax Reporting. The parties hereto agree to treat and report any adjustments to the exercise price of any Warrants or to the number of shares of Common Stock that a holder of a Warrant is entitled to purchase pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as an adjustment to the price to be paid in acquiring property for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.305-1(c).

Section 5.01. Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

(a) Agent for the Company. In acting under this Agreement and in connection with the Warrant Certificates, the Warrant Agent is acting as agent of the Company in a ministerial capacity and does not assume any obligation or relationship or agency or trust for or with any of the Holders of Warrant Certificates or Beneficial Owners of Warrants.

The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under any duty or responsibility for the use by the Company of any of the Warrant Certificates countersigned by the Warrant Agent and delivered by it to the Holders or on behalf of the Holders pursuant to this Agreement or for the application by the Company of the proceeds of the Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by the Company in the performance of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or in the Warrant Certificates or in the case of the receipt of any written demand from a Holder with respect to such default, including any duty or responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise.

The Warrant Agent shall, at the Company’s expense, deliver all demands, notices, requests, consents, and other communications and information delivered to it (collectively, “Notices”), in its capacity as Warrant Agent, by the Company, any Holder or any holder of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, to the Holders or any subset thereof promptly following receipt of such Notices, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days following such receipt for Warrants held of record by the Depository (which notice shall be delivered electronically) or five (5) Business Days following such receipt for Warrants held of record by Persons other than the Depository (which notice shall be delivered by mail); provided, that any such Notice is in written form, which explicitly states (a) that it is a Notice; and (b) to whom the Warrant Agent is required to deliver such Notice.

Section 5.03. Individual Rights of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent and any stockholder, director, officer, or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell, or deal in any of the Warrants or other securities of the Company or its Affiliates or become pecuniarily interested in transactions in which the Company or its Affiliates may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or its Affiliates or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not the Warrant Agent under this Agreement.

The Company shall indemnify the Warrant Agent, its officers, directors, agents, and counsel against any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable agents’ and attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it without gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith on its part arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; or (b) any claim, litigation, investigation, or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing whether or not the Warrant Agent is a party thereto, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement. The Warrant Agent shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Warrant Agent through willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

To secure the Company’s payment obligations under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall have a lien prior to the Holders on all money or property held or collected by the Warrant Agent.

(a) The Company To Provide and Maintain Warrant Agent. The Company agrees for the benefit of the Holders that there shall at all times be a Warrant Agent hereunder until all the Warrants have been exercised or cancelled or are no longer exercisable.

(b) Resignation and Removal. The Warrant Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice to the Company and the Holders (in accordance with Section 5.02(f)) of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective, provided, however, that such date shall not be less than sixty (60) days after the date on which such notice is given unless the Company otherwise agrees. The Warrant Agent hereunder may be removed at any time by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of the Required Warrant Holders and specifying such removal and the date when it shall become effective, which date shall not be less than sixty (60) days after such notice is given unless the Warrant Agent otherwise agrees. Any removal under this Section 5.06 shall take effect upon the appointment by the Company as hereinafter provided of a successor Warrant Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company authorized under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization to exercise corporate trust powers, be in good standing and have a combined capital

Payment of the Exercise Price in cash shall be made by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of funds to an account designated by the Company for such purpose. Payment by Cashless Exercise shall be made without the payment of cash by reducing the amount of Common Stock that would be obtainable upon the exercise of a Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price in cash so as to yield a number of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Warrant equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant is exercisable as of the Exercise Date (if the Exercise Price were being paid in cash) and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess of the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock on the

Exercise Date over the Exercise Price per share as of the Exercise Date and the denominator of which is the Current Market Value per share of the Common Stock on the Exercise Date.

As provided in the Warrant Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions therein set forth, the Warrants shall be exercisable at any time.

As provided in the Warrant Agreement, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon the happening of certain events.

The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with the registration of the Transfer or exchange of the Warrant Certificates but not for any exchange or original issuance (not involving a transfer) with respect to Warrant Certificates, the exercise of the Warrants or the Common Stock.

Upon any partial exercise of Certificated Warrants, there shall be countersigned and issued to the Holder hereof a new Warrant Certificate representing those Warrants which were not exercised. This Warrant Certificate may be exchanged at the office of the Warrant Agent by presenting this Warrant Certificate properly endorsed with a request to exchange this Warrant Certificate for other Warrant Certificates evidencing an equal number of Warrants. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants, but the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock on the day immediately preceding the date the Warrant is exercised, multiplied by the fraction of such share of Common Stock that would be issuable on the exercise of any Warrant, computed to the nearest whole cent.

All shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company upon the exercise of the Warrants and payment therefor shall, upon such issue, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable.

The Holder in whose name the Warrant Certificate is registered may be deemed and treated by the Company and the Warrant Agent as the absolute owner of the Warrant Certificate for all purposes whatsoever and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent.
