EX-99.2 · d35173dex992.htm EX-99.2 11 d35173dex992.htm EX-99.2 Exhibit 99.2 Quantum Announces Equity Financing to Strengthen Balance Sheet and Support Growth Quantum to Eliminate All Debt with Combination of Debt Payoff and Conversion Three concurrent transactions improve liquidity, significantly strengthening the Company’s balance sheet and providing capital to invest in growth CENTENNIAL, Colo. — June 2, 2026 — Quantum Corporation (Nasdaq: QMCO) today announced three concurrent transactions that together are expected to significantly strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and provide capital for growth. First, the Company has entered into securities purchase agreements to sell shares of common stock in a private placement, which was led by funds managed by Two Seas Capital LP and Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., with participation from several other institutional investors, generating gross proceeds of $100.0 million. Second, the Company intends to repay all of its outstanding term debt with a portion of the proceeds of the private placement. Third, Dialectic Technology SPV LLC, as sole beneficial owner of the Company’s Senior Secured Convertible Notes, has agreed to voluntarily convert the entire outstanding principal amount of those Convertible Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into shares of common stock. Together, these transactions are expected to significantly strengthen the Company’s balance sheet, eliminate its debt obligations, and provide growth capital to capitalize on increasing demand for cost-efficient, long-term data storage in AI and enterprise environments. With respect to the private placement, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements dated June 1, 2026 to sell an aggregate of 10,615,712 shares of common stock at a price of $9.42 per share. The Company intends to use approximately $94.7 million of the net proceeds from the private placement to repay all of its existing term debt, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The private placement provides Quantum with greater financial flexibility to support ongoing operations and invest in growth initiatives. The Company also plans to commission a report by a third party technology consulting firm on the importance of magnetic tape to HPC data centers. “This transaction represents a significant step forward for Quantum,” said Hugues Meyrath, CEO of Quantum Corporation. “We have meaningfully strengthened our balance sheet, eliminated our debt position, and brought in new capital to support the business. Following these actions and debt paydown, we expect to emerge with a positive net cash position and a sustainable capital structure. These transactions signal strong support and credible backing from institutional partners and provide a stronger financial foundation. With improved flexibility, we are better positioned to support our customers, invest in growth, and execute our strategy with a clearer path to long-term value creation, including profitable growth over time.” “These transactions address historical balance sheet constraints and provide the flexibility needed to execute on the company’s growth opportunities,” said John Fichthorn, co-founder and managing partner of Dialectic Capital Management. “Given the significant de-risking these transactions represent and the substantial growth opportunities we see for Quantum, Dialectic has agreed to an early conversion of our Convertible Notes to equity. We believe Quantum is now much better positioned for the broader and growing market opportunity in data storage. With AI, the nature of data storage is changing and data storage requirements are evolving toward long-term, cost-efficient, and energy-aware solutions. Tape and complementary platforms have an increasing role to play. Quantum is well positioned to benefit from that shift.” In order to facilitate the equity financing transaction, Dialectic, as sole beneficial owner of the Convertible Notes issued under the Indenture dated December 18, 2025, agreed to voluntarily convert the Convertible Notes into common stock of the Company. Pursuant to a conversion agreement dated June 1, 2026, Dialectic will convert the entire principal amount of the Convertible Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into shares of common stock concurrently with the closing of the equity financing transaction. As consideration for Dialectic’s agreement to voluntarily convert its Convertible Notes, the Company agreed to issue additional shares of common stock by converting an amount equal to the present value of nominal PIK interest that would accrue on the Convertible Notes from the closing date of the proposed transactions to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes, assuming the Convertible Notes had remained outstanding until the end of the stated term, discounted at a rate of 11%, plus the amount of deferred cash interest owed to Dialectic, applying the same conversion price under the Convertible Notes of $5.194 per share. It is anticipated that an aggregate of 14,104,620 shares of common stock will be issued to Dialectic as a result of the conversion of the Convertible Notes and the agreed upon consideration described above. As additional consideration for Dialectic’s agreement to convert the Convertible Notes, the Company will issue to Dialectic at closing a warrant to purchase up to 105,911 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.194 per share (which is equal to the conversion price of the Convertible Notes in effect following the reset period ended March 31, 2026). In connection with the transactions, certain investors in the private placement and Dialectic entered into a right of first refusal agreement with the Company which provides such investors and Dialectic with a right of first refusal with respect to new issuance and sales of the Company’s equity securities until the earlier of six months from the date of the right of first refusal agreement and completion of the Company’s next equity financing transaction. The securities to be sold in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. The Company has agreed to file a resale registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) covering the resale of the shares of common stock sold in the private placement and certain shares issued to Dialectic in connection with the Convertible Notes conversion. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the common stock, nor shall there be any sale of these common stock in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. Any offering of the common stock under the resale registration statement will only be by means of a prospectus. Transaction Advisors Cantor acted as lead placement agent and Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC acted as placement agent for the Company in connection with the private placement. DLA Piper LLP (US) is serving as legal advisor to the placement agents. Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP is serving as legal advisor to the Company. Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP is serving as legal advisor to Dialectic. Hogan Lovells US LLP is serving as legal advisor to the lenders under the Company’s existing term debt.

The protections afforded to the Company under this Section 2(c)(iii) are separate from, and shall not be construed to limit or expand, the Allowed Delay provisions set forth in Section 2(c)(ii) . (d) Rule 415; Cutback . If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act ( provided , however , the Company shall be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Corporation Finance Interpretation 612.09) or requires any Investor to be named as an “underwriter,” the Company shall (i) promptly notify each holder of Registrable Securities thereof and (ii) make commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Investors is an “underwriter.” In the event that, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 2 (d), the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from such Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “ SEC Restrictions ”); provided , however , that the Company shall not name any Investor as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Investor ( provided , that in the event an Investor withholds such consent, the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to include any Registrable Securities of such Investor in any Registration Statement covering the resale thereof until such time as the SEC no longer requires such Investor to be named as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement or such Investor otherwise consents in writing to being so named). Any cutback imposed on the Investors pursuant to this Section 2(d) shall be allocated among the Investors on a pro rata basis (based upon the relative number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor) and shall be applied first to any of the Registrable Securities of such Investor as such Investor shall designate, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or provide or the Investors otherwise agree. 5 (e) Other Limitations . Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in the Purchase Agreement, with respect to any Investor (as to such Investor only) the Filing Deadline for a Registration Statement shall be extended and any failure by the Company to maintain a Registration Statement shall be automatically waived by no action of the Investors, in each case, without default by the Company to such Investor hereunder in the event that the Company’s failure to make such filing or failure to maintain a Registration Statement results from the failure of such Investor to timely provide the Company with information requested by the Company and necessary to complete a Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of the 1933 Act (in which case any such deadline would be extended, and a maintenance failure waived, with respect to all Registrable Securities until forty-five (45 days) after such time as the Investor provides such requested information), it being understood that the failure of such Investor to timely provide such information to the Company shall not affect the rights of other Investors herein. (f) Liquidated Damages .

SELLING SECURITYHOLDER: Name: Dated: , 2026 By: Name: Title: Address: Telephone: Email: Facsimile: ENDNOTE 1. Beneficial Ownership. You are the beneficial owner of a security, as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), if you, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, have or share: (1) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such security, and/or (2) investment power, which includes the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, such security. You are also the beneficial owner of a security if you, directly or indirectly, create or use a trust, proxy, power of attorney, pooling arrangement or any other contract, arrangement, or device with the purpose or effect of divesting yourself of beneficial ownership of a security or preventing the vesting of such beneficial ownership as part of a plan or scheme to evade the reporting requirements of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act. You are deemed to be the beneficial owner of a security if you have the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security at any time within sixty (60) days, including, but not limited to, any right to acquire such security (a) through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (b) through the conversion of a security, or (c) pursuant to the automatic termination of, or the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account, or similar arrangement. Securities held in the name of your spouse or minor child should also be considered as beneficially owned by you. Similarly, securities held in the name of relatives who share your home are to be reported as being beneficially owned by you. In addition, securities held for your benefit in the name of others, such as nominees, trustees and other fiduciaries, securities held by a partnership of which you are a partner, and securities held by a company controlled by you should be regarded as beneficially owned by you. This definition of beneficial ownership is very broad; therefore, even though you may not actually have or share voting or investment power with respect to securities owned by persons in your family or living in your home, you should include such securities in your beneficial ownership disclosure and may then disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities. Please note, however, that securities in which you have an economic interest but over which you have no voting or investment control (for example, securities in a trust of which you are the beneficiary but not the trustee) are not deemed beneficially owned by you for the purposes of this Questionnaire. |

The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. 7 (b) Subject to Section 5(a) and the limitations set forth in Section 13 hereof, this Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. (c) The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof (including, but not limited to the exercise of this Warrant) are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares (other than such limitations contemplated by this Warrant). Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof. (d) Each certificate for Warrant Shares shall bear a restrictive legend only if (i) there is not then an effective Registration Statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder and (ii) the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144; provided , however , that, no such restrictive legend shall be required if, in the opinion of counsel for the Holder (which opinion is subject to the reasonable approval of the Company) or the Company, the securities represented thereby are not, at such time, required by law to bear such legend. 7. Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder or an affiliate thereof. 8. Replacement of Warrant . If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures as the Company may prescribe. 8 9. Reservation of Warrant Shares . (a) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant (the “ Required Reserve Amount ”), free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 10 ). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. The Company will take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation by the Company of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The parties acknowledge and agree that issuances above the Maximum Percentage require approval by the stockholders of the Company, and the Company provides no assurances or guarantees with respect to the outcome of such stockholder approval. (b) If, notwithstanding Section 9(a) above, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount (an “ Authorized Share Failure ”), then the Company shall take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. 10. Certain Adjustments . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 10 . (a) Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock; (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. 9 (b) Pro Rata Distributions . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to holders of Common Stock (and not to all Holders of Warrants in respect of their ownership thereof): (i) evidences of indebtedness of any Person; (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph); (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security; or (iv) cash or any other asset (in each case, “ Distributed Property ”), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such record date) to equal the product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of which the denominator shall be the average of the Closing Prices for the five (5) Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) such record date and of which the numerator shall be such average less the then fair market value of the Distributed Property distributed in respect of one (1) outstanding share of Common Stock, as determined by the Company’s independent certified public accountants that regularly examine the financial statements of the Company (an “ Appraiser ”). In such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm) (the “ Additional Appraiser ”), in which case such fair market value shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined by each of the Appraiser and the Additional Appraiser. As an alternative to the foregoing adjustment to the Exercise Price, at the request of the Holder delivered before the earlier of the ninetieth (90 th ) day after such record date or the exercise of this Warrant after such record date, the Company will deliver to such Holder, within five (5) Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of such distribution), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant) immediately prior to such record date ( provided , however , that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution in excess of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation). If such Distributed Property is not delivered to a Holder pursuant to the preceding sentence, then upon expiration of or any exercise of this Warrant that occurs after such record date, such Holder shall remain entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), such Distributed Property. (c) Fundamental Transactions . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person; (ii) the Company effects any sale of (A) all or substantially all of its assets or (B) assets generating more than fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s revenue for the trailing twelve (12) month period, in each case, which sale is not approved by the Holders of at least a majority of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of then outstanding Warrants; (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant 10 to which holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Common Stock (excluding any shares held by the Person(s) making such tender or exchange offer) tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property; (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 10(a) above or a transaction that does not result in a transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power or equity interests in the Company); or (v) there is a Change of Control (each of the foregoing, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction as if this Warrant had been exercised on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 11 below, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and become the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant) (the “ Alternate Consideration ”). The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, of such Fundamental Transaction at least thirty (30) days prior to the closing of such Fundamental Transaction (the “ Fundamental Transaction Notice ”), which written notice shall describe in detail the terms of the Fundamental Transaction (including the Alternate Consideration issuable upon exercise of this Warrant). In the event of, and as a condition to the consummation of, a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or the Successor Entity, as the case may be, shall execute with the Holder a written agreement providing that: (x) this Warrant shall thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase the Alternate Consideration in accordance with this Section 10(c) . (y) in the case of any such Successor Entity, upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, such Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other transaction documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), be jointly and severally liable with the Company for the performance of all of the Company’s obligations under this Warrant and may exercise every right and power of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. (z) if registration or qualification is required under the Exchange Act or applicable state law for the public resale by the Holder of shares of stock and other securities so issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, such registration or qualification shall be completed prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination or sale. 11 If, in the case of any Fundamental Transaction, the Alternate Consideration includes shares of stock, other securities, other property or assets of a Person other than the Company or any such Successor Entity, as the case may be, in such Fundamental Transaction, then such written agreement shall also be executed by such other Person. At the Holder’s request, prior to or at the closing of the Fundamental Transaction, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a New Warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. (d) Subsequent Equity Sales . (i) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company or any subsidiary grants, issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell), or is deemed to have granted, issued or sold any additional shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, Options, rights, warrants, or other securities or debt convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock (collectively, “ Common Stock Equivalents ”) at an effective price to the Company (net of any rebates, discounts, fees, commissions or expenses, other than customary expenses) per share of Common Stock less than the then effective Exercise Price (such issuances, collectively, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) shall be reduced (and in no event increased) to an Exercise Price equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (A) the sum of (1) the product obtained by multiplying the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) by the Exercise Price then in effect plus (2) the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale); by (B) the sum of (1) the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) plus (2) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold (or deemed issued or sold) by the Company in such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale). 12 (ii) The adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be made at the end of each fiscal quarter, based on the issuances of Common Stock Equivalents during that quarter. No further adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Common Stock Equivalents as to which an adjustment to the Exercise Price was made pursuant to Section 10(d)(i) expire, terminate or are cancelled without having been exercised, converted or exchanged in full, then the Exercise Price shall be readjusted as of the date of such expiration, termination or cancellation to the Exercise Price that would have been in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such expired, terminated or cancelled Common Stock Equivalents been made on the basis of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof (or, if no shares of Common Stock were issued, as if such Common Stock Equivalents had never been issued). (iii) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company directly or indirectly issues Common Stock Equivalents with an Effective Price or a number of underlying shares that floats or resets or otherwise varies or is subject to adjustment based (directly or indirectly) on market prices of the Common Stock (a “ Floating Price Security ”), including by way of one or more reset(s) to a fixed price, but exclusive of such formulations reflecting customary structural anti-dilution provisions (such as share splits, share combinations, share dividends and similar transactions), then for purposes of applying the preceding paragraph in connection with any subsequent exercise, the Effective Price will be determined separately on each Exercise Date and will be deemed to equal the lowest Effective Price at which any holder of such Floating Price Security is entitled to acquire Common Stock on such Exercise Date (regardless of whether any such holder actually acquires any shares on such date). The Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to substitute such Effective Price for the Exercise Price upon exercise of this Warrant by designating in the Exercise Notice delivered upon any exercise that the Holder is relying on the Effective Price rather than the Exercise Price then in effect. (iv) No adjustment to this Warrant shall be made pursuant to this Section 10(d) that would have the effect of causing this Warrant to be exercisable for more than the Maximum Percentage unless and until prior to any such adjustment the Company shall have obtained all necessary shareholder and other approvals required for the Exercise Price under this Warrant to be reduced to such Effective Price and for sufficient Warrant Shares to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant. (v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment will be made under this Section 10 in respect of any issuances or exercise prices, resets, conversion prices or other Floating Price Security attributes of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents covered by the definition of Excluded Stock. (e) Number of Warrant Shares . Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13(iii) , simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 10 , the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment; provided that no Exercise Price adjustment or adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares issuable in the aggregate pursuant to this Section 10(e) may be based on an Exercise Price of less than $5.00 per Warrant Share, as adjusted for any stock dividends, stock splits (including forward and reverse), stock combinations, recapitalizations or similar events. 13 (f) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 10 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest one hundredth (1/100 th ) of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include any treasury shares, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock. (g) Notice of Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 10 , the Company at its expense will promptly (i) compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based and (ii) deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent. (h) Notice of Corporate Events . If the Company: (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary; (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into a definitive agreement or solicits stockholder approval for a Fundamental Transaction; or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps necessary in order to ensure that the Holder has sufficient opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided , however , that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice. (i) Other Events . In the event that the Company or any subsidiary shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 10 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s board of directors shall in good faith, and subject to Section 12 below, determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares (if applicable) so as to protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 10(i) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 10 , provided further that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then the Company’s board of directors and the Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company. 14 11. Payment of Exercise Price . The Holder, at its election, may either pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds, or satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows: X = Y [(A-B)/A] where: X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder. Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised. A = the Current Market Price (as of the date of such calculation) of one share of Common Stock. B = the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). For purposes of this Warrant, the “ Current Market Price ” of one share of the Company’s Common Stock as of a particular date shall be determined as follows: (a) if traded on a national securities exchange (including the Nasdaq Stock Market), the Current Market Price shall be deemed to be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable date; (b) if traded over-the-counter but not on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Current Market Price shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid and asked prices as of five (5) Business Days immediately prior to the date of exercise indicated in the Notice of Exercise; and (c) if there is no active public market, the Current Market Price shall be the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder in their sole discretion. If the Company and the Holder are unable to so agree upon the fair market value of a share of Common Stock, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures in Section 17(f) . 12. Limitation on Exercise . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, (A) to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder (together with its Affiliates and any of the other Attribution Parties) would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding and/or the then combined voting power of all of the Company’s voting securities immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ”) and (B) if at the time of such exercise, such exercise would violate, or would result in a violation by the Company of, any Nasdaq Stock Market Rule (and any successor to the Nasdaq Stock Market and any other trading market on which the Common Stock is listed), including, without limitation, Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635(b) relating to a change of control; provided , that, with respect to clause (A) above, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains (x) stockholder approval for a change of control with respect to the Holder and such stockholder approval remains valid pursuant to the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules (and any successor to the Nasdaq Stock Market and any other trading market on which the Common Stock is listed) and such exercise otherwise satisfies the requirements of Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635 with respect to issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant or any other warrant held by the Holder or (y) a waiver of such Beneficial Ownership Limitation is received from Nasdaq and such waiver remains valid. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to any successor holder and transferee of this Warrant, any New Warrants, and all Warrant Shares issued or issuable upon exercise of all Warrants outstanding (together with their Affiliates and any of the other Attribution Parties), as applicable. 15 13. Fractional Shares . The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. 14. Notices . Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered by electronic mail specified in this Section 14 prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day; (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered by electronic mail specified in this Section 14 on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day; (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service specifying next Business Day delivery; or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given, if by hand delivery. The address and e-mail address of a party for such notices or communications shall be as set forth in this Section 14 , unless changed by such party by two (2) Trading Days’ prior notice to the other party in accordance with this Section 14 . It is expressly understood and agreed that the time of execution specified by the Holder in each Exercise Notice shall be definitive and may not be disputed or challenged by the Company.

Upon the request of the Holder, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with the preceding sentence. If the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Holder and make publicly available in accordance with paragraph (c) of Rule 144 such information as is required for the Holder to sell this Warrant under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as the Holder may reasonably request to satisfy the provisions of Rule 144 applicable to the issuer of securities relating to transactions for the sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144. 17. Miscellaneous . (a) The Company will not, by amendment of its governing documents 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 of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth on the first page hereof and in Section 3 , this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder, provided , however , that in no event shall the registration rights be separately assigned from the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant. Except as provided in and subject to the terms set forth in Section 10(c) , this Warrant may not be assigned by the Company except with the prior written consent of the Holder. This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties 17 hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence and except as otherwise provided in Section 12 , nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and assigns. The restrictions set forth in Section 12 hereof may not be amended or waived. (b) The Company: (i) will not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (ii) will use reasonable best efforts to take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
