WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 6.10 of the Original Agreement, any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with Section 6.10 of the Original Agreement shall be binding upon the Purchasers and each transferee of the Shares, each future holder of all such securities, and the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Company and each of STX (as successor in interest to BGP) and NIC desire to amend the Original Agreement on behalf of all Purchasers as set forth herein:

2.6. Governmental Consents and Filings. Assuming the accuracy of the representations made by the Purchasers in Section 3 of this Agreement, no consent, approval, order, or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state, or local governmental authority is required on the part of the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for (i) the filing of the Restated Certificate, which will have been filed as of the Closing; and (ii) filings pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, which have been made or will be made in a timely manner.
2.7. Litigation. There is no claim, action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, complaint, charge, or, to the Company's knowledge, investigation pending or, to the Company's knowledge, currently threatened in writing (i) against the Company or any officer, director, or Key Employee of the Company arising out of their employment or board relationship with the Company; or (ii) to the Company's knowledge, that would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor, to the Company's knowledge, any of its officers, directors, or Key Employees is a party or is named as subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment, or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality (in the case of officers, directors, or Key Employees, such as would affect the Company). There is no action, suit, proceeding, or investigation by the Company pending or that the Company intends to initiate. The foregoing includes, without limitation, actions, suits, proceedings, or investigations pending or threatened in writing (or any basis therefor known to the Company) involving the prior employment of any of the Company's employees, their services provided in connection with the Company's business, any information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former employers, or their obligations under any agreements with prior employers.
2.8. Intellectual Property. The Company owns or possesses on commercially reasonable terms sufficient legal rights to all Company Intellectual Property without any known conflict with, or infringement of, the rights of others, including prior employees or consultants, or academic or medical institutions with which any of them may be affiliated now or may have been affiliated in the past. To the Company's knowledge, no product or service marketed or sold (or proposed to be marketed or sold) by the Company violates or will violate any license or infringes or will infringe any intellectual property rights of any other party. Other than with respect to commercially available software products under standard end-user object code license agreements, there are no outstanding options, licenses, agreements, claims, encumbrances, or shared ownership interests of any kind relating to the Company Intellectual Property, nor is the Company bound by or a party to any options, licenses, or agreements of any kind with respect to the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, information, proprietary rights, and processes of any other Person. The Company has not received any communications alleging that the Company has violated, or by conducting its business, would violate any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, tradenames, copyrights, trade secrets, mask works, or other proprietary rights or processes of any other Person. The Company has obtained
Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Agreement
p. 7 of 26
and possesses valid licenses to use all of the software programs present on the computers and other software-enabled electronic devices that it owns or leases or that it has otherwise provided to its employees for their use in connection with the Company's business. To the Company's knowledge, it will not be necessary to use any inventions of any of its employees or consultants (or Persons it currently intends to hire) made prior to their employment by the Company, including prior employees or consultants, or academic or medical institutions with which any of them may be affiliated now or may have been affiliated in the past. Each employee and consultant has assigned to the Company all intellectual property rights he or she owns that are related to the Company's business as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted and all intellectual property rights that he, she, or it solely or jointly conceived, reduced to practice, developed, or made during the period of his, her, or its employment or consulting relationship with the Company that (a) relate, at the time of conception, reduction to practice, development, or making of such intellectual property right, to the Company's business as then conducted or as then proposed to be conducted; (b) were developed on any amount of the Company's time or with the use of any of the Company's equipment, supplies, facilities, or information; or (c) resulted from the performance of services for the Company. Subsection 2.8 of the Disclosure Schedule lists all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, service mark applications, tradenames, copyrights, and licenses to and under any of the foregoing, in each case owned by the Company. The Company has not embedded any open source, copyleft, or community source code in any of its products generally available or in development, including but not limited to any libraries or code licensed under any General Public License, Lesser General Public License, or similar license arrangement. For purposes of this Subsection 2.8, the Company shall be deemed to have knowledge of a patent right if the Company has actual knowledge of the patent right or would be found to be on notice of such patent right as determined by reference to United States patent laws. No government funding, facilities of a university, college, other educational institution or research center, or funding from third parties was used in the development of any Company Intellectual Property. No Person who was involved in, or who contributed to, the creation or development of any Company Intellectual Property has performed services for the government, university, college, or other educational institution or research center in a manner that would affect Company's rights in the Company Intellectual Property.
2.9. Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation or default (i) of any provisions of its current Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; (ii) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, or decree; (iii) under any note, indenture, or mortgage; (iv) under any lease, agreement, contract, or purchase order to which it is a party or by which it is bound that is required to be listed on the Disclosure Schedule; or (v) to its knowledge, of any provision of federal or state statute, rule, or regulation applicable to the Company, the violation of which would have a Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either (i) a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree, contract, or agreement; or (ii) an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit or license applicable to the Company.

FINAL VERSION OF FORM
THIS WARRANTY AND THE SHARES ASSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 3.3 BELOW, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SAID ACT AND LAWS OR, IN THE OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, SUCH OFFER, SALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.
Warrant No. [●]
Issue Date: [●], 2024
SHARP EDGE LABS, INC.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
THIS WARRANTY CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, [●●●●●] (together with any successor or permitted assignee or transferee of this Warrant or of any shares issued upon exercise hereof, "Holder") is entitled to purchase from Sharp Edge Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, up to __ shares of Common Stock (the "Shares"), at an exercise price per Share equal to US$4.55 (the "Warrant Price"). This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time on or after the date hereof but prior to ____ (the "Expiration Date").
Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in that certain Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 18, 2024, by and among the Company and the purchasers identified therein (the "Purchase Agreement").
This Warrant is one of a series of warrants to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock that were originally issued by the Company pursuant to Section 1 of the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the "Warrants" and individually each, a "Warrant").
SECTION 1. EXERCISE.
1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may at any time and from time to time exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 and, unless Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a cashless exercise set forth in Section 1.2, a check, wire transfer of same-day funds (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2 Cashless Exercise. On any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Warrant Price in the manner as specified in Section 1.1 above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1, Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant, or the portion thereof as to which this Warrant is being exercised. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares as are computed using the following formula:
$$
X = Y \frac {(A - B)}{A}
$$
where:
X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder;
Y = the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the Shares surrendered to the Company in payment of the aggregate Warrant Price);
A = the Fair Market Value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.3 below) of one Share; and
B = the Warrant Price.
1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Company’s common stock is then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system, or over-the-counter market (a “Trading Market”) and the class of Shares is common stock, the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of common stock reported for the business day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Company’s common stock is then traded in a Trading Market and the class of Shares is a series of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of the Company’s common stock reported for the business day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company multiplied by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which a Share is then convertible. If the Company’s common stock is not traded in a Trading Market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the fair market value of a Share in its reasonable, good faith judgment.
1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Within a reasonable time after Holder exercises this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1.1 or Section 1.2 above, the Company shall deliver to Holder a certificate representing the Shares issued to Holder upon such exercise and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired.
1.5 Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance, and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.
1.6 Treatment of Warrant Upon Deemed Liquidation Event. In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined herein) and the fair market value of one Share as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date immediately prior to such Deemed Liquidation Event and Holder has not exercised this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1 above as to all Shares, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to
be Cashless Exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of a Deemed Liquidation Event. In connection with such Cashless Exercise, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of the number of Shares (or such other securities) issued upon exercise. In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event where the fair market value of one Share as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above would be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such Deemed Liquidation Event, then this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Deemed Liquidation Event. If the Company's Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as may be amended or restated and in effect from time to time (the "Company's Certificate of Incorporation") includes a definition of a "Deemed Liquidation Event", that definition will automatically govern that term used in this Warrant. Prior to that time, a Deemed Liquidation Event means any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, including the merger or consolidation of the Company or other acquisition transaction (or a series of transactions), unless a contrary election is made by certain holders of Common Stock in accordance with the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as each of those terms is used in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation.
1.7 Certain Agreements. Upon any exercise of this Warrant, Holder shall, if the Company so requests in writing, become a party to, by execution and delivery to the Company of a counterpart signature page, joinder agreement, instrument of accession, or similar instrument reasonably acceptable to the Company, that certain Amended and Restated Voting Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2023, as may be amended or restated and in effect from time to time ("Voting Agreement") (which has been provided to Holder), in each case solely with respect to the Shares issued upon such exercise (and the shares of Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion of such Shares), solely to the extent that all holders of outstanding shares of the class of Shares are then parties thereto, and solely to the extent each such Voting Agreement is then by its terms in force and effect.
SECTION 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.
2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of the class of Shares payable in common stock or other securities or property (other than cash), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the class of Shares by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of the class of Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of the class of Shares are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with, or by Company securities of a different class or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Shares been
outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations, substitutions, replacements, or other similar events.
2.3 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. Without duplication of any adjustment otherwise provided for in this Section 2, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares shall be subject to anti-dilution adjustment from time to time in the manner set forth in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation as if the Shares were issued and outstanding on and as of the date of any such required adjustment.
2.4 No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (i) the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 1.4 above) of a full Share, less (ii) the then-effective Warrant Price.
2.5 Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, class, or number of Shares, the Company, at the Company's expense, shall notify Holder in writing within a reasonable time setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price, class, /or number of Shares and facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from Holder, furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer (or other officer then performing such function), including computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price, class, and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment.
SECTION 3. MISCELLANEOUS.
3.1 Term; Automatic Cashless Exercise Upon Expiration.
(a) Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.6 above, this Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on or before the Expiration Date and shall be void thereafter.
(b) Automatic Cashless Exercise upon Expiration. In the event that, upon the Expiration Date, the fair market value of one Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above is greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares (or such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised, and the Company shall, within a reasonable time, deliver a certificate representing the Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to Holder.
3.2 Legends. Each certificate evidencing Shares (and each certificate evidencing securities issued upon conversion of any Shares, if any) shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE
4
SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR QUALIFICATION RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
3.3 Compliance with Securities Laws on Transfer. This Warrant and the Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee, including, without limitation, the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company.
3.4 Competitors. At all times prior to the IPO, Holder may not, without the Company's prior written consent, transfer this Warrant or any portion thereof, or any Shares issued upon any exercise thereof, or any shares or other securities issued upon any conversion of any Shares issued upon any exercise thereof, to any person or entity who directly competes with the Company, except in connection with an acquisition of the Company by such a direct competitor.
