For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder may transfer during the Lock-Up Period any such Warrant Shares to any of its Affiliates, provided that such Affiliate(s) agree to be bound by the same lock up restrictions and the transfer is otherwise consistent with Section 4(d) hereof.

 

(b) Stop-Transfer Instructions. In order to enforce this Section 21, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Warrant Shares of the Holder (and the shares of every other holder subject to the restrictions in this Section 21).”

 

8. Short Sales. The Warrant is hereby amended by adding a new Section 22 as follows:

 

“22. SHORT SALES. Until the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, other than with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, neither the Holder nor any Affiliate of such the Holder which (a) had knowledge of the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) has or shares discretion relating to such Holder’s investments or trading or information concerning such Holder’s investments, including in respect of the shares and warrants, and (c) is subject to such Holder’s review or input concerning such Affiliate’s investments or trading (collectively, “Trading Affiliates”) will directly or indirectly, alone or with any individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind (collectively “Persons ”), acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Holder or Trading Affiliate, effect or agree to effect any Short Sales (as defined below) involving the Company’s shares of common stock or other securities of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Holder and/or Trading Affiliate that is, individually or collectively, a multi-managed investment bank or vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Holder’s or Trading Affiliate’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Holder’s or Trading Affiliate’s assets, the covenants set forth above shall apply only with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that have knowledge about the transactions contemplated by this Warrant. For purposes hereof, “Short Sale” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether or not against the box, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, “put equivalent positions” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) or similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), or sales or other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.”

 

9. Necessary Acts. Each party to this Amendment hereby agrees to perform any further acts and to execute and deliver any further documents that may be necessary or required to carry out the intent and provisions of this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

10. Governing Law. This Amendment will be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles that would require the application of any other law.

 

11. Continued Validity. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Warrant shall remain in full force and effect.

 

12. Approval of Amendment; No Execution Required. By the Holder’s execution and delivery of an Election to Consent, Participate and Exercise Warrant electing therein to participate in the Offer to Amend and Exercise together with the other Acceptance and Exercise Documents in accordance with the terms of the Offer to Amend and Exercise, each of the Company and the Holder shall be deemed to have authorized, approved and executed this Amendment.
