A new Section 4.4 is hereby added (immediately following Section 4.3) as follows:

4.4 Conversion of Preferred Stock. In the event that all outstanding shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock are converted, automatically or by action of the holders thereof, into common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, including, without limitation, in connection with the Company’s initial, underwritten public offering and sale of its Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, then from and after the date on which all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock have been so converted, the Warrant shall be exercisable for such number of shares of Common Stock into which the Warrant Shares would have been converted had the Warrant Shares been outstanding on the date of such conversion, and the Exercise Price shall equal the Exercise Price in effect as of immediately prior to such conversion divided by the number of shares of Common Stock into which one Warrant Share would have been converted, all subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant.
