Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Between
May 11, 2026 and May 14, 2026, NexGel, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Buyers”), pursuant
to which the Company issued and sold to the Buyers (i) unsecured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate original principal amount
of $1,210,000 (the “Notes”) and (ii) warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value
$0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), exercisable for an aggregate of 1,008,334 shares of Common Stock (the
“Warrants”), in a private placement (the “Offering”) for aggregate gross proceeds
to the Company of $1,210,000.
The
terms of the Notes and the Warrants are substantially the same as the terms of the convertible promissory notes and warrants previously
issued by the Company in the private placement that closed on April 17, 2026, as more fully described in the Company’s Current
Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 21, 2026 (the
“Prior 8-K”), which description is incorporated herein by reference, except that the Purchase Agreement does
not include (i) the additional-purchase right granted to certain “Qualified Buyers” on the six-month and nine-month anniversaries
of the closing date or (ii) the escrow funding mechanic, in each case as described in the Prior 8-K. The Notes are convertible into shares
of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.60 per share, and the Warrants have an exercise price of $0.80 per share and expire
on the five-year anniversary of their issuance date.
The
Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for working capital purposes.
In
connection with the Offering, the Company and the Buyers also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file with the SEC, no later than seventy-five (75) calendar
days following the closing date, a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants, and to use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective
by the SEC no later than one hundred fifty (150) calendar days following the initial filing date.
Alere
Financial Partners, a division of Cova Capital Partners, LLC, acted as placement agent in connection with the Offering, on the same terms
as those previously disclosed in the Prior 8-K.
The
foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be
complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Purchase Agreement, the form of Note, the form
of Warrant and the form of Registration Rights Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1, 4.2 and 10.2, respectively,
to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item
2.03
Creation
of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The
information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the Notes is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company incurred the obligations under the Notes upon the closing of the Offering.
Item 3.02 Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities.
The
information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the issuance of the Notes and the Warrants is
incorporated herein by reference. The Notes, the Warrants, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (collectively, the “Securities”) were offered and sold
in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as transactions
by an issuer not involving any public offering. Each Buyer represented that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in
Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and that it was acquiring the applicable Securities for its own account and not with a view toward, or for
resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The Securities were offered and sold without any form of general
solicitation or general advertising, and the certificates or book-entry statements representing the Securities were or will be issued
bearing restrictive legends. The Company relied, in part, on the representations and warranties of the Buyers contained in the Purchase
Agreement in order to determine the availability of such exemption.
Of
the $1,210,000 of gross proceeds from the Offering, $1,085,000 was purchased by affiliates of the Company, consisting of (i) Brian J.
Kieser, a director of the Company, who purchased Notes and Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000, (ii) Adam Levy, the
Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, who purchased Notes and Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $60,000, (iii)
Scott Henry, a director of the Company, who purchased Notes and Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, in each case on
the same terms and conditions as the unaffiliated Buyers.

PROMISSORY NOTE
FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, NEXGEL, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower” or the “Company”),
hereby promises to pay to the order of [________________], or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), in the form of
lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of $[____________] (subject to adjustment herein) (the “Principal
Amount”) and to pay interest on the unpaid Principal Amount hereof at the rate of ten percent (10%) (the “Interest Rate”)
per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration
or by prepayment or otherwise, as further provided herein. The maturity date shall be eighteen (18) months from the Issue Date (the “Maturity
Date”), and is the date upon which the Principal Amount as well as any accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, shall be due
and payable.
This
Note may be prepaid or repaid in whole or in part as set forth herein.
Any
Principal Amount or interest on the Notes which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of the lesser of (i) eighteen percent
(18%) per annum or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law from the due date thereof until the same is paid (the “Default Interest”).
The Interest Rate and Default Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
Interest
hereunder shall be due on a quarterly basis (each an “Interest Date”) on each of March 31, June 30 and September 30 and December
31 of each year, commencing on September 30, 2026 and shall be payable in cash except as set forth herein. A Holder may deliver a written
notice (each, an “Interest Election Notice”) to the Company on or prior to the tenth (10th) Trading Day immediately
prior to the applicable Interest Date which notice elects to have the Holder paid all or a portion of the interest due for Interest Date
in shares of Common Stock based on the then current Conversion Price (as defined below) (the “Interest Shares”). Any Interest
Shares shall be issued and delivered to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note.
All
payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Borrower (the “Common
Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall
be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of
the Notes. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of the Notes is due on any day which is not a business day, the same
shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day.
1
Each
capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated as of May [__], 2026, pursuant to which the Notes was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”). As used
in the Notes, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks
in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed. As used herein, the term “Trading
Day” means any day that a Principal Market (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is open for trading.
This
Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive
rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower other than as shall have been waived, and will not impose personal liability
upon the holder thereof.
The
following terms shall also apply to the Notes:
ARTICLE
I. CONVERSION RIGHTS
1.1
Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right, at any time on or following the Issue Date, to convert all or any portion of
the then outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount and interest (including any Default Interest) into fully paid and non-assessable shares
of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into
which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified, at the Conversion Price (as defined below) determined as provided
herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the a
Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Notes, pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving
effect to such issuance after conversion as set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s
affiliates (the “Affiliates”), and any other Persons (as defined below) acting as a group together with the Holder or any
of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by the Holder and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes with respect
to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) conversion
of the remaining, nonconverted portion of the Notes beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties
and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation
on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution
Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 1.1, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the
Holder that the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. In addition, a determination
as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 1.1, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock,
a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or
annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent
written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written
or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares
of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect
to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Notes, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties
since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”
shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the time of the respective calculation hereunder; however,
by written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase (or subsequently decrease) the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other
percentage specified in such notice, but (i) any such waiver or increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is
delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such waiver or increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder
of the Notes. “Person” and “Persons” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint
venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and any governmental entity or any department or agency
thereof. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of the Notes. The number of Conversion Shares
to be issued upon each conversion of the Notes shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable
Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent by the Holder in accordance with Section
1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably
expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent before 11:59 p.m., New York, New York time on such
conversion date (the “Conversion Date”). The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of
the Notes, the sum of (1) the Principal Amount of the Notes to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s
option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Principal Amount at the Interest Rate to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at
the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2).
The Holder covenants and agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, effect or agree to effect any “short sale” (as
defined in Rule 200 under Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock which establishes a net short position with respect
to the Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert any
portion of this Note, and the Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion, to the extent that such issuance under
all of the Notes and the Warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement would exceed 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding as of the Issue Date (the “Exchange Cap”), unless and until the Company obtains Stockholder Approval of the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and this Note in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Principal Market. Any portion
of the Conversion Amount that cannot be converted due to the Exchange Cap shall remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest in
accordance with this Note until such time as conversion is permitted.
2
1.2 Conversion Price.
(a) Calculation
of Conversion Price. The per share conversion price into which Principal Amount and interest (including any Default Interest) under
the Notes shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock hereunder (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal $0.60, subject
to adjustment as set forth herein. As of a date that is twelve (12) months from the Issuance Date and the Maturity Date, the Conversion
Price shall automatically be adjusted to the lower of (i) the then current Conversion Price or (ii) the arithmetic average of VWAPs (as
defined below) of the Common Stock for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable measuring date. If at any
time the Conversion Price as determined hereunder for any conversion would be less than the par value of the Common Stock, then at the
sole discretion of the Holder, the Conversion Price hereunder may equal such par value for such conversion and the Conversion Amount
for such conversion may be increased to include Additional Principal, where “Additional Principal” means such additional
amount to be added to the Conversion Amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of conversion shares issuable upon such conversion
to equal the same number of conversion shares as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been adjusted by the Holder to the
par value price. The Conversion Price is subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the
Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization,
reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events. Additionally, The Borrower shall reimburse to Holder actual out-of-pocket
fees to cover Holder’s fees associated with each Notice of Conversion so long as such Notice of Conversion relates to a number
of shares of Common Stock which equals or exceeds 50,000.
For
the purposes of Section 1.2(a) above, “VWAP” means, for any security as of any date, the dollar volume-weighted average price
for such security on the Principal Market (or, if the Principal Market is not the principal trading market for such security, then on
the principal securities exchange or securities market on which such security is then traded), during the period beginning at 9:30 a.m.,
New York time, and ending at 4:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg through its “VAP” function (set to 09:30
start time and 16:00 end time) or, if the foregoing does not apply, the dollar volume-weighted average price of such security in the
over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security during the period beginning at 9:30 a.m., New York time, and
ending at 4:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no dollar volume-weighted average price is reported for such security
by Bloomberg for such hours, the average of the highest closing bid price and the lowest closing ask price of any of the market makers
for such security as reported in The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices).
If the VWAP cannot be calculated for such security on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the VWAP of such security on such date
shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. If the Company and the Holder are unable to agree
upon the fair market value of such security, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures in Section 26.. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination,
recapitalization or other similar transaction during such period.
3
1.3 Authorized
and Reserved Shares. The Borrower covenants that at all times until the Note is satisfied in full, the Borrower will reserve from
its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of a
number of Conversion Shares equal to the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the full conversion of the Notes (assuming no payment
of Principal Amount or interest) at the time of such calculation (taking into consideration any adjustments to the Conversion Price as
provided in the Notes) multiplied by (ii) three (3) (the “Reserved Amount”). The Borrower represents that upon issuance,
the Conversion Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably
instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Conversion Shares or instructions to have the Conversion Shares issued as
contemplated by Section 1.4(f) hereof, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of the Notes shall constitute full authority to its officers
and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates or cause the Company to electronically issue shares of Common
Stock to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Conversion Shares or cause the Conversion Shares to be issued as contemplated
by Section 1.4(f) hereof in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes.
If,
at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) under
the Notes unless the Borrower causes its transfer agent to increase the amount of the reserved Common Stock to the Reserved Amount within
five business days’ written notice by the Holder to the Borrower of such deficiency.
1.4 Method of Conversion.
(a) Mechanics
of Conversion. This Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part, at any time on or following the Issue Date, by submitting
to the Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication
dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 11:59 p.m., New York, New York time). Any Notice of Conversion submitted after 11:59 p.m.,
New York, New York time, shall be deemed to have been delivered and received on the next Trading Day.
4
(b) Surrender
of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with
the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the Notes to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid Principal
Amount is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the Principal Amount so converted and the dates of
such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical
surrender of the Notes upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima
facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of the Notes
is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer the Notes unless the Holder first physically surrenders the Notes to the Borrower,
whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder
(upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid Principal
Amount of the Notes. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of the Notes, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions
of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of the Notes, the unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount of the Notes represented
by the Notes may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
(c) Payment
of Taxes. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue
and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of the Notes in a name other than that of the Holder
(or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless
and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s
account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the
satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.
(d) Delivery
of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable
means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower
shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Conversion Shares
(or cause the electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares as contemplated by Section 1.4(f) hereof) within three (3) Trading Days after
such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid Principal Amount and interest (including
any Default Interest) under the Notes, surrender of the Notes). If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to
the Holder on or prior to the Deadline a certificate for the number of Conversion Shares or to which the Holder is entitled hereunder
and register such Conversion Shares on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC (as
defined below) for such number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of the Notes (a
“Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (i) the Company shall pay in cash
to the Holder on each day after the Deadline and during such Conversion Failure an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (A) the sum
of the number of Conversion Shares not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Deadline and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the
closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued
such Conversion Shares to the Holder without violating this Section 1.4(d); and (ii) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company,
may void its Notice of Conversion with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of the Notes that has
not been converted pursuant to such Notice of Conversion; provided that the voiding of an Notice of Conversion shall not affect the Company’s
obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to
the Deadline the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such Conversion Shares on the Company’s
share register or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled
upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below, and if on or
after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction
of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company,
then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i)
pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other reasonable
and customary out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which
point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Conversion Shares) or credit such Holder’s
balance account with DTC for such Conversion Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a
certificate or certificates representing such Conversion Shares or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC and pay cash to
the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock,
times (B) the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the date of exercise. Nothing 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 the Conversion Shares (or to
electronically deliver such Conversion Shares) upon the conversion of the Notes as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
5
(e) Obligation
of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock. At the time that the Holder submits the Notice of Conversion to the Borrower or Borrower’s
transfer agent, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding
Principal Amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest (including any Default Interest) under the Notes shall be reduced to reflect
such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the portion of
the Notes being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other
assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s
obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for the Conversion Shares (or cause the electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares
as contemplated by Section 1.4(f) hereof) shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder
to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or
any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record,
or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to
the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in
connection with such conversion. The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the
Notice of Conversion is sent to the Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent before 11:59 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.
(f) Delivery
of Conversion Shares by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares issuable
upon conversion hereof, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities
Transfer or Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian programs, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in
Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the
Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion hereof to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through
its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system.
6
1.5 Concerning
the Shares. The Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are
sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished
with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be the Legal Counsel Opinion (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)) to the effect that
the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration (to the extent the Conversion
Shares are eligible to be sold pursuant to an exemption) or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A,
Regulation S, or other applicable exemption, or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144)
of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited
Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement (and subject to the removal provisions
set forth below), until such time as the Conversion Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant
to Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation S, or other applicable exemption without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular
date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for the Conversion Shares that has not been so included in an effective registration
statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend,
shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:
“NEITHER
THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE
HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED
FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH MAY BE THE LEGAL COUNSEL OPINION (AS DEFINED IN THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT)),
IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144, RULE 144A,
REGULATION S UNDER SAID ACT, OR OTHER APPLICABLE EXEMPTION. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION
WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”
The
legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue to the Holder a certificate for the applicable Conversion Shares
without such legend upon which it is stamped or (as requested by the Holder) issue the applicable Conversion Shares by electronic delivery
by crediting the account of such holder’s broker with DTC, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws: (a)
such Conversion Shares are registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be
sold pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation S, or other applicable exemption without any restriction as to the number of securities
as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) the Company or the Holder provides the Legal Counsel Opinion (as contemplated
by and in accordance with Section 4(n) of the Purchase Agreement) to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Conversion Shares
may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected.
The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with any such issuance. The Holder agrees
to sell all Conversion Shares, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance
with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided
by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Conversion Shares pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144, Rule 144A,
Regulation S, or other applicable exemption, at the Deadline, notwithstanding that the conditions of Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation
S, or other applicable exemption, as applicable, have been met, it will be considered an Event of Default under the Notes.
7
1.6 Effect of Certain Events.
(a) Effect
of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Borrower, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as
defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall either: (i) unless otherwise waived, be deemed to be an Event of
Default pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction
an amount equal to the Default Amount (defined in Section 3.20) or (ii) be treated pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof. “Person”
shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.
(b) Adjustment
Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when the Notes is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the
Notes, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result
of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes
of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of the Notes shall thereafter
have the right to receive upon conversion of the Notes, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu
of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would
have been entitled to receive in such transaction had the Notes been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without
regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to
the rights and interests of the Holder of the Notes to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions
for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable,
as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower
shall not effectuate any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, at least
thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special
meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of
shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to
convert the Notes) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations
of this Section 1.6(b). The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
(c) Adjustment
Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders
of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to
the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off))
(a “Distribution”), then the Holder of the Notes shall be entitled, upon any conversion of the Notes after the date of record
for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the
Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common
Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.
(d) Purchase
Rights. If, at any time when all or any portion of the Notes is issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues any convertible securities
or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “Purchase Rights”) pro rata to the record holders
of any class of Common Stock, then the Holder of the Notes will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights,
the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete conversion of the Notes (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein) immediately before the date
on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which
the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
8
(e) Dilutive
Issuance. If the Borrower, at any time while the Notes or any amounts due hereunder are outstanding, issues, sells or grants (or
has issued, sold or granted as of the Issue Date, as the case may be) any option to purchase, or sells or grants any right to reprice,
or otherwise disposes of, or issues (or has sold or issued, as the case may be, or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase
or other disposition), any Common Stock or other securities convertible into, exercisable for, or otherwise entitle any person or entity
the right to acquire, shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, upon conversion of the Notes, and any convertible notes
or warrants outstanding as of or following the Issue Date), in each or any case at an effective price per share that is lower than the
then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive
Issuance”) (it being agreed that if the holder of the Common Stock or other securities 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 Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion
Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, at the option of the Holder, to a price equal
to the Base Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or other securities are issued. By way of example,
and for the avoidance of doubt, if the Company issues a convertible promissory note (including but not limited to a Variable Rate Transaction),
and the holder of such convertible promissory note has the right to convert it into Common Stock at an effective price per share that
is lower than the then Conversion Price (including but not limited to a conversion price with a discount that varies with the trading
prices of or quotations for the Common Stock), then the Holder has the right to reduce the Conversion Price to such Base Conversion Price
(including but not limited to a conversion price with a discount that varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the Common
Stock) in perpetuity regardless of whether the holder of such convertible promissory note ever effectuated a conversion at the Base Conversion
Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 1.6(e) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. In the event
of an issuance of securities involving multiple tranches or closings, any adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.6(e) shall be calculated
as if all such securities were issued at the initial closing. The Company’s obligations under this Section 1.6(e) shall terminate
with no further action required by the Company, the Placement Agent or the Holder on the Post Lock-Up Termination Date (as defined in
the Purchase Agreement), so long as the Company’s common stock is listed for trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market, the New York Stock
Exchange, the NYSE American, or any other national securities exchange on the Post Lock-Up Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt,
any adjustments that have occurred under this Section 1.6(e) prior to the termination of this Section 1.6(e) shall remain in full force
and effect at all times, including after the Company’s obligations under this Section 1.6(e).
An
“Exempt Issuance” shall mean the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or other securities to officers or directors of the
Company pursuant to any stock or option or similar equity incentive plan duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the non-employee
members of the Company’s Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for
such purpose in a manner which is consistent with the Company’s prior business practices; (b) securities issued pursuant to a merger,
consolidation, acquisition or similar business combination approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided
that any such issuance shall only be to a Person (or to the equity holders of a Person) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries,
an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company
additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities
primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities; (c) securities issued
pursuant to any equipment loan or leasing arrangement, real property leasing arrangement or debt financing from a bank or similar financial
institution approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company; or (d) securities issued with respect to which the
Holder waives its rights in writing under this Section 1.6(e).
9
(f) Notice
of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the events described
in this Section 1.6, the Borrower shall, at its expense and within three (3) Trading Days after the occurrence of each respective adjustment
or readjustment of the Conversion Price, compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate
setting forth (i) the Conversion Price in effect at such time based upon the Dilutive Issuance, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note, (iii) the detailed
facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, and (iv) copies of the documentation (including but not limited to relevant
transaction documents) that evidences the adjustment or readjustment. The Borrower shall, within three (3) Trading Days after each written
request from the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) the Conversion Price in effect at such time based
upon the Dilutive Issuance, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at
the time would be received upon conversion of the Note, (iii) the detailed facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based,
and (iv) copies of the documentation (including but not limited to relevant transaction documents) that evidences the adjustment or readjustment.
1.7 [Reserved.]
1.8 Status
as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the Conversion Shares covered thereby (other than the
Conversion Shares, if any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved
Amount or Maximum Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a Holder
of such converted portion of the Notes shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of
Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the
Borrower to comply with the terms of the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all shares
of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th) business day after the expiration of the Deadline with respect to a conversion of any portion
of the Notes for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying
the Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of the Notes with respect to such unconverted portions of the Notes and
the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust
its records to reflect that such portion of the Notes has not been converted. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights
and remedies for the Borrower’s failure to convert the Notes.
1.9 Prepayment.
At any time after the Issue Date and with the written consent of the Holder, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on three
(3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to request from the Holder the right to prepay all or a portion of the
outstanding Principal Amount and interest then due under the Notes in accordance with this Section 1.9. Any notice of prepayment hereunder
(an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state:
(1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay all or a portion of the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be three
(3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice (the “Optional Prepayment Date”). The Holder shall have
the right to accept or reject, in its sole discretion, all or any portion of the prepayment set forth in the Optional Prepayment Notice
. On the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall make payment of the amounts, if any, agreed to by the Holder as specified by the
Holder in writing to the Borrower. If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note in accordance with this Section 1.9, the Borrower
shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash equal to the sum of: (w) the Prepayment Factor (as defined below) multiplied by
the Principal Amount and interest being prepaid. The “Prepayment Factor” shall mean 110%.
10
1.10 Repayment
from Financing Proceeds. If, at any time after the Issue Date and prior to the full repayment or full conversion of all amounts owed
under this Note, the Company receives cash proceeds from a Financing Transaction (as defined below), the Borrower shall, within four
(4) Trading Days of Borrower’s receipt of such proceeds, inform the Holder of or publicly disclose such receipt, following which
the Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion and on a pro rata basis with the other Holders of the Notes issued pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement to require the Borrower to immediately apply up to 20% of such net proceeds received from a Financing Transaction
to repay all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount and interest (including any Default Interest) then due under this Note.
A “Financing Transaction” means any transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which the Company issues or
sells any equity securities, debt securities (including convertible or exchangeable securities) or any securities exercisable for or
convertible into equity or debt securities, in each cash for cash consideration, including any equity line, at-the-marketing sales agreement,
SAFE, cash warrant exercise, registered direct offering, PIPE, private placement, or public offering.
1.11 Required
Conversion. At any time after the Issuer Date and so long as there is no existing Event of Default, if the closing price of the Company’s
Common Stock equals or exceeds one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the then applicable Conversion Price for at least fifteen (15) Trading
Days (not necessarily consecutive) during any twenty (20) Trading Day period, the Company may require the Holder by providing written
notice (including email) to the Holder, and the Holder is required to comply, to submit a Notice of Conversion within three (3) Trading
Days after such event occurs for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock allowable under
the limitations set forth in Section 1.1 above. For purposes of this Section 1.11, “closing price” shall mean the closing
sale price of the Common Stock as reported on the Principal Market.

of such obligation; provided, however, the terms of this Section 2.2 shall not apply in the event any indebtedness described above so

ARTICLE
III. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
It
shall be considered an event of default if any of the following events listed in this Article III shall occur and shall have not been
cured within three (3) business days of written notice by the Holder to the Borrower of such event of default (if such event of default
is able to be cured) (each, an “Event of Default”), provided, however, that such three (3) business day cure period shall
not apply to any Event of Default under Sections 3.1 or 3.2:
3.1 Failure
to Pay Principal or Interest. The Borrower fails to pay the Principal Amount hereof or interest thereon when due on the Notes, whether
at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, or fails to fully comply with Section 1.10 of the Notes.
3.2 Conversion
and the Shares. The Borrower (i) fails to issue Conversion Shares to the Holder (or announces or threatens in writing that it will
not honor its obligation to do so) upon exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of
the Notes, (ii) fails to transfer or cause its transfer agent to transfer (issue) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate
for the Conversion Shares issuable to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Notes as and when required by the Notes,
(iii) fails to reserve the Reserved Amount at all times (subject to a five business day cure period beginning on the date that written
notice of such deficiency is given by the Holder to the Borrower), (iv) the Borrower directs its transfer agent not to transfer or delays,
impairs, and/or hinders its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for
the Conversion Shares issuable to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Notes as and when required by the Notes,
or fails to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing)

statement or threat that it does not intend to honor the obligations described in this paragraph) except for the exceptions contained
in the Notes and any such failure shall continue uncured (or any written announcement, statement or threat not to honor its obligations
shall not be rescinded in writing) for three (3) Trading Days after the Holder shall have delivered a Notice of Conversion, and/or (v)
fails to remain current in its obligations to its transfer agent (including but not limited to payment obligations to its transfer agent).
It shall be an Event of Default of the Notes, if a conversion of the Notes is delayed, hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by
the Borrower to its transfer agent. If at the option of the Holder, the Holder advances any funds to the Borrower’s transfer agent
in order to process a conversion, such advanced funds shall be added to the principal balance of the Note.
3.3 Breach
of Agreements and Covenants. The Borrower breaches any covenant, agreement, or other term or condition contained in the Purchase

which are necessary to conduct its business (whether now or in the future).

3.15 Variable

ARTICLE

4.3 Amendments.
This Note and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and the Holder. The term “Note”
and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument as originally executed, or if later amended
or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.
4.4 Assignability.
This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to be the benefit of the Holder and its
successors and assigns. The Borrower shall not assign the Notes or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
of the Holder. The Holder may assign its rights hereunder to any “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of the
1933 Act) in a private transaction from the Holder or to any of its “affiliates”, as that term is defined under the 1934
Act, without the consent of the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything in the Notes to the contrary, the Notes may be pledged as collateral
in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of the Notes,
acknowledge and agree that following conversion of a portion of the Notes, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of the Notes represented
by the Notes may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
4.5 Cost
of Collection. If default is made in the payment of the Notes, the Borrower shall pay the Holder hereof costs of collection, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees.
4.6 Governing
Law; Venue; Attorney’s Fees. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware
without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated
by the Notes or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby shall be brought only in the state courts
located in the State of New York or federal courts located in the State of New York. The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection
to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue
or based upon forum non conveniens. THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST,
A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action
or proceeding in connection with the Notes or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby
by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address
in effect for notices to it under the Notes and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and
notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law. The prevailing party in any action or dispute brought in connection with this the Note or any other agreement, certificate, instrument
or document contemplated hereby or thereby shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and
costs.
4.7 Certain
Amounts. Whenever pursuant to the Notes the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding Principal Amount (or
the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, the Borrower
and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on the Notes may be difficult to determine
and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the Holder
in part for loss of the opportunity to convert the Notes and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion
of the Notes at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to the Notes. The Borrower and the Holder hereby agree that
such amount of stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment
without the opportunity to convert the Notes into shares of Common Stock.
16
4.8 Purchase
Agreement. The Company and the Holder shall be bound by the applicable terms of the Purchase Agreement and the documents entered
into in connection herewith and therewith.
4.9 Notice
of Corporate Events. Except as otherwise provided below, the Holder of the Notes shall have no rights as a Holder of Common Stock
unless and only to the extent that it converts the Notes into Common Stock. The Borrower shall provide the Holder with prior notification
of any meeting of the Borrower’s shareholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to shareholders). In the
event of any taking by the Borrower of a record of its shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to receive
payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger,
consolidation, reclassification or recapitalization) any share of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other
right, or for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to vote in connection with any change in control or any proposed
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Borrower, the Borrower shall mail a notice to the Holder, at least twenty (20) days prior
to the record date specified therein (or thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of the transaction or event, whichever is earlier),
of the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right or other event, and a brief
statement regarding the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, right or other event to the extent known at such time. The
Borrower shall make a public announcement of any event requiring notification to the Holder hereunder substantially simultaneously with
the notification to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.9.
4.10 Remedies.
The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the
intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach
of its obligations under the Notes will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the
provisions of the Notes, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition
to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of the Notes and to
enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security
being required.
4.11 Construction;
Headings. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any person
as the drafter hereof. The headings of the Notes are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation
of, the Notes.
4.12 Usury.
To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will
resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter
in force, in connection with any action or proceeding that may be brought by the Holder in order to enforce any right or remedy under
the Notes. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Notes, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability
of the Company under the Notes for payments which under the applicable law are in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum
lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall
any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums which under the applicable law in the
nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Notes exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum
contract rate of interest allowed by applicable law and applicable to the Notes is increased or decreased by statute or any official
governmental action subsequent to the Issue Date, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable
to the Notes from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances
whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to the Holder with respect to indebtedness evidenced by this
the Note, such excess shall be applied by the Holder to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company,
the manner of handling such excess to be at the Holder’s election.
17
4.13 Severability.
In the event that any provision of the Notes is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law (including any judicial
ruling), then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to
conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Notes.
4.14 Terms
of Future Financings. So long as this Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries of any security,
or amendment to a security that was originally issued before the Issue Date, with any term that the Holder reasonably believes is more
favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that the Holder reasonably believes was
not similarly provided to the Holder in the Notes, then (i) the Borrower shall notify the Holder of such additional or more favorable
term within one (1) business day of the issuance and/or amendment (as applicable) of the respective security, and (ii) such term, at
Holder’s option, shall become a part of the transaction documents with the Holder (regardless of whether the Borrower complied
with the notification provision of this Section 4.14). The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to
the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing prepayment rate, interest rates, and original issue discounts.
.The Company’s obligations under this Section 4.14 shall terminate with no further action required by the Company, the Placement
Agent or the Holder on the Post Lock-Up Termination Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), so long as the Company’s common
stock is listed for trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, or any other national securities
exchange on the Post Lock-Up Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustments that have occurred under this Section 4.14
prior to the termination of this Section 4.14 shall remain in full force and effect at all times, including after the Company’s
obligations under this Section 4.14.
4.15 Dispute
Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Price, Conversion Amount, any prepayment amount or
Default Amount, Issue, Closing or Maturity Date, the closing bid price, or fair market value (as the case may be) or the arithmetic calculation
of the Conversion Price or the applicable prepayment amount(s) (as the case may be), the Borrower or the Holder shall submit the disputed
determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile (i) within two (2) Trading Days after receipt of the applicable notice giving
rise to such dispute to the Borrower or the Holder or (ii) if no notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after the Holder learned
of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If the Holder and the Borrower are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation
within two (2) Trading Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation (as the case may be) being submitted to the Borrower
or the Holder, then the Borrower shall, within two (2) Trading Days, submit (a) the disputed determination of the Conversion Price, the
closing bid price, the or fair market value (as the case may be) to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Borrower
and approved by the Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Price, Conversion Amount, any prepayment amount
or Default Amount, to an independent, outside accountant selected by the Holder that is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. The Borrower
shall cause at its expense the investment bank or the accountant to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Borrower
and the Holder of the results no later than two (2) Trading Days from the time it receives such disputed determinations or calculations.
Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable
error.

STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Warrant
Shares: [_________]
Date
of Issuance: May [__], 2026 (“Issuance Date”)
This
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received (in connection with the issuance
of the convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $[_________] to the Holder (as defined below) of even date) (the “Note”),
[_____________] (including any permitted and registered assigns, the “Holder”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject
to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date of issuance hereof, to purchase
from NEXGEL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), [_________] shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant
Shares”) (whereby such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant) at the
Exercise Price per share then in effect during the Exercise Period (defined below). This Warrant is issued by the Company as of the date
hereof in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated May [__], 2026, by and among the Company and the Holder (the
“Purchase Agreement”). All terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
Capitalized
terms used in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined in the body of this Warrant
or in Section 12 below. For purposes of this Warrant, the term “Exercise Price” shall mean $0.80 per share, subject to adjustment
as provided herein (including but not limited to cashless exercise as expressly provided in this Warrant), and the term “Exercise
Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Issuance Date and ending on 5:00 p.m. eastern standard time on the five-year anniversary
thereof.
1
1.
EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a)
Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in
whole or in part at any time or times during the Exercise Period by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. The Holder shall not be required
to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of
a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant
Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. On or before the second Trading
Day (the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”) following the date on which the Holder sent the Exercise Notice to the Company
or the Company’s transfer agent, and upon receipt by the Company of payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable
Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which all or a portion of this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate
Exercise Price” and together with the Exercise Notice, the “Exercise Delivery Documents”) in cash or by
wire transfer of immediately available funds (or by cashless exercise, in which case there shall be no Aggregate Exercise Price provided),
the Company shall (or direct its transfer agent to) issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise
Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise (or deliver such shares of Common Stock in electronic
format if requested by the Holder). Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes
to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the
date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise and
the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired
upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three business days after any exercise and
at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant
is exercised.
If
the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the respective shares of Common Stock by the respective Warrant
Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right, but not the obligation, to rescind such exercise in Holder’s sole discretion
in addition to all other rights and remedies at law, under this Warrant, or otherwise, and such failure shall also be deemed an event
of default under the Note, a material breach under this Warrant, and a material breach under the Purchase Agreement.
If
the Market Price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price, then, unless there is an effective non-stale registration
statement of the Company covering the Holder’s immediate resale of the Warrant Shares at prevailing market prices (and not fixed
prices) without any limitation, the Holder may elect to receive Warrant Shares pursuant to a cashless exercise, in lieu of a cash exercise,
equal to the value of this Warrant determined in the manner described below (or of any portion thereof remaining unexercised) by surrender
of this Warrant and a Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of Common Stock computed using the
following formula:
X = Y (A-B)
A
Where
X =
the number of Shares to be issued to Holder.
Y =
the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder
elects to purchase under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation).
A =
the Market Price (at the date of such calculation).
B =
Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
2
(b)
No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment
pursuant hereto. All Warrant Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining
whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance
of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction
a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then-current fair market value of a Warrant Share by such fraction.
(c)
Holder’s Exercise Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect any
exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise,
to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder
(together with the Holder’s affiliates (the “Affiliates”), and any other Persons acting as a group together with the
Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would
be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates
or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
(including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the
limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in
the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 1(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Holder is solely
responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated
above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
For purposes of this Section 1(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission,
as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s
transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company
shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any
case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities
of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the time of the respective calculation hereunder. The limitations contained in this paragraph
shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may waive the provisions of this section
or increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage specified in such notice, but (i) any such waiver
or increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such waiver
or increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Note, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert any portion of this Warrant, and the Company shall not issue any
shares of Common Stock upon conversion, to the extent that such issuance under all of the Notes and the Warrants issued pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement would exceed 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Issue Date (the “Exchange
Cap”), unless and until the Company obtains Stockholder Approval of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and
this Warrant in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Principal Market.
3
(d)
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to
the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Company’s transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance
with the provisions of this Warrant (including but not limited to Section 1(a) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the respective
Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or
otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the
Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall
(A) pay in cash to the Holder, within three (3) business days of Holder’s request, the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of
(1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times
(2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either
reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such
exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder within three (3) business days of Holder’s request the number of shares
of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For
example, if the Holder purchases, or effectuates a cashless exercise hereunder for, Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000
to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase
obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000.
The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request
of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a 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 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
2.
ADJUSTMENTS. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time if the Company at any time
on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or
after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately
increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2 shall become effective
at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. Each such adjustment of the Exercise Price shall
be calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event covered by this Section
2 shall occur.

3.
FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger of the Company
with or into another entity and the Company is not the surviving entity (such surviving entity, the “Successor Entity”),
(ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender
offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or by another individual or entity, and approved by the Company) is completed pursuant
to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares of Common Stock for other securities, cash or property
and the holders of at least 50% of the Common Stock accept such offer, or (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) (in any such case, a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive the number of
shares of Common Stock of the Successor Entity or of the Company and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”)
receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event (disregarding any limitation
on exercise contained herein solely for the purpose of such determination). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the
Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration
issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the 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 following such
Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any Successor 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 exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration.
4.
NON-CIRCUMVENTION. The Company covenants and agrees that it will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws
or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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, and will at
all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of
the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common
Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, for so long as this Warrant is outstanding, have authorized and reserved, free from
preemptive rights, three (3) times the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Warrants are then exercisable into to provide
for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise).
5.
WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Warrant, in and of itself, shall
not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant
shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise)
or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
6.
REISSUANCE.
(a)
Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company will, on such terms as
to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof),
issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.
5
(b)
Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such

Company hereunder may not be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by the Company without the prior signed
written consent of the Holder, which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of the Holder (any such assignment or transfer shall
be null and void if the Company does not obtain the prior signed written consent of the Holder). This Warrant or any of the severable
rights and obligations inuring to the benefit of or to be performed by Holder hereunder may be assigned by Holder to a third party, in
whole or in part, without the need to obtain the Company’s consent thereto.
8.
NOTICES. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given
in accordance with the notice provisions contained in the Purchase Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written
notice (i) immediately upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, the calculation of such adjustment
and (ii) at least 20 days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend

costs. In the event that any provision of this Warrant or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable
under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith

h. SEC
Documents; Financial Statements. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to
be filed by it with the SEC for the 12 months preceding the date hereof on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time
of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension pursuant to the reporting requirements of
the 1934 Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules
thereto and documents (other than exhibits to such documents) incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to herein
as the “SEC Documents”). As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements
of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC
Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. None of the statements made in any such SEC Documents is, or has been, required to be amended or updated under
applicable law (except for such statements as have been amended or updated in subsequent filings prior the date hereof). As of their
respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects
with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods
involved and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries
as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case
of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the financial statements of the Company included
in the SEC Documents, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course
of business subsequent to December 31, 2025, and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of
business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in such financial statements, which, individually
or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company. The Company is subject to the reporting
requirements of the 1934 Act. The Company has never been a “shell company” as described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i).
i. Absence
of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 2025, there has been no material adverse change and no material adverse development in the
assets, liabilities, business, properties, operations, financial condition, results of operations, prospects or 1934 Act reporting status
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
j. Absence
of Litigation. There is no action, suit, claim, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government
agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against
or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or their officers or directors in their capacity as such, that could have a Material
Adverse Effect. The SEC Documents contain a complete list and summary description of any pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
threatened proceeding against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, without regard to whether it would have a Material
Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.
k. Intellectual
Property. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries owns or possesses the requisite licenses or rights to use all patents, patent
applications, patent rights, inventions, know-how, trade secrets, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, service names, trade
names and copyrights (“Intellectual Property”) necessary to enable it to conduct its business as now operated (and, as presently
contemplated to be operated in the future); there is no claim or action by any person pertaining to, or proceeding pending, or to the
Company’s knowledge threatened, which challenges the right of the Company or of a Subsidiary with respect to any Intellectual Property
necessary to enable it to conduct its business as now operated (and, as presently contemplated to be operated in the future); to the
best of the Company’s knowledge, the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ current and intended products, services and processes
do not infringe on any Intellectual Property or other rights held by any person; and the Company is unaware of any facts or circumstances
which might give rise to any of the foregoing. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect
the secrecy, confidentiality and value of their Intellectual Property.
l. No
Materially Adverse Contracts, Etc. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any charter, corporate or other
legal restriction, or any judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation which in the judgment of the Company’s officers has or is
expected in the future to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any contract
or agreement which in the judgment of the Company’s officers has or is expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the Company and each
of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and
has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such
returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate
for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no
unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know
of no basis for any such claim. The Company has not executed a waiver with respect to the statute of limitations relating to the assessment
or collection of any foreign, federal, state or local tax. None of the Company’s tax returns is presently being audited by any
taxing authority.

with Affiliates. Except for arm’s length transactions pursuant to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes payments
in the ordinary course of business upon terms no less favorable than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries could obtain from third parties
and other than the grant of stock options described in the SEC Documents, none of the officers, directors, or employees of the Company
is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers and
directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental
of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the

to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, properties, prospects, operations or financial conditions, which,
under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly
announced or disclosed (assuming for this purpose that the Company’s reports filed under the 1934 Act are being incorporated into
an effective registration statement filed by the Company under the 1933 Act).
p. Acknowledgment
Regarding Buyer’s Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Buyer is acting solely in the capacity
of arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further acknowledges
that each Buyer is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby and any statement made by each Buyer or any of its respective representatives or agents in connection
with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is not advice or a recommendation and is merely incidental to each Buyer’s
purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Buyer that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement
has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the Company and its representatives.
8
q. No
Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or
indirectly made any offers or sales in any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require
registration under the 1933 Act of the issuance of the Securities to each Buyer. The issuance of the Securities to each Buyer will not
be integrated with any other issuance of the Company’s securities (past, current or future) for purposes of any shareholder approval
provisions applicable to the Company or its securities.
r. No
Brokers; No Solicitation. Except with respect to Alere Financial Partners, a division of Cova Capital Partners, LLC and Maxim Group
LLC (each, a “Placement Agent”, both of which are FINRA registered broker-dealers, the Company has taken no action which
would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, transaction fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges and agrees that neither any Buyer nor its employee(s), member(s), beneficial
owner(s), or partner(s) solicited the Company to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions described in this Agreement.
s. No
General Solicitation; Placement Agent’s Fees. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its
or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection
with the offer or sale of the Securities. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s fees, financial
advisory fees, or brokers’ commission (other than for persons engaged by any Buyer or its investment advisor) relating to or arising
out of the issuance of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall pay, and hold each Buyer harmless against, any liability,
loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising i

to carry on its business as it is now being conducted (collectively, the “Company Permits”), and there is no action pending
or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened regarding suspension or cancellation of any of the Company Permits. Neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in default or violation of, any of the Company Permits, except for any such conflicts,
defaults or violations which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Since
December 31 2025, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notification with respect to possible conflicts, defaults
or violations of applicable laws, except for notices relating to possible conflicts, defaults or violations, which conflicts, defaults
or violations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
u. Environmental Matters.
(i) There
are, to the Company’s knowledge, with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor of the Company, no past
or present violations of Environmental Laws (as defined below), releases of any material into the environment, actions, activities, circumstances,
conditions, events, incidents, or contractual obligations which may give rise to any common law environmental liability or any liability
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 or similar federal, state, local or foreign laws
and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice with respect to any of the foregoing, nor is any action pending
or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened in connection with any of the foregoing. The term “Environmental Laws” means
all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without
limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating
to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or
wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing,
distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes,

issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.

(ii) Other
than those that are or were stored, used or disposed of in compliance with applicable law, no Hazardous Materials are contained on or
about any real property currently owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no Hazardous Materials were released
on or about any real property previously owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the period the property
was owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the normal course of the Company’s or any of its
Subsidiaries’ business.
(iii) There
are no underground storage tanks on or under any real property owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are
not in compliance with applicable law.
v. Title
to Property. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable
title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free
and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are described in Schedule 3(u), if attached hereto, or such as would
not have a Material Adverse Effect. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by
them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
w. Insurance.
The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks
and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its
Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its
existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary
to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Upon written request the Company will provide to each
Buyer true and correct copies of all policies relating to directors’ and officers’ liability coverage, errors and omissions
coverage, and commercial general liability coverage.
x. Internal
Accounting Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient, in the
judgment of the Company’s board of directors, to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance
with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is
permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets
is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
y. Sarbanes-Oxley
Act. The Company is in compliance in all material respects with applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable
rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder, except where such noncompliance would not have, individually or in the aggregate,
a material adverse effect on the Company or its prospects.
z. Labor
Matters. The Company and each Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state, local and foreign laws
and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and
hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result
in a material adverse effect.
10

Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person
acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has, in the course of his actions for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any

any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; violated or

influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.

The Company (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent (i.e., its assets have a fair
market value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and
matured) and currently the Company has no information that would lead it to reasonably conclude that the Company would not, after
giving effect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, have the ability to, nor does it intend to take any action that
would impair its ability to, pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature. The
Company’s financial statements for its most recent fiscal year end and interim financial statements have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business.
cc. No
Investment Company. The Company is not, and upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement will
not be an “investment company” required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (an “Investment
Company”). The Company is not controlled by an Investment Company.
aa.
No Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its 1934 Act
filings and is not so disclosed or that otherwise could be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
bb.
No Disqualification Events. None of the Company, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer,
other officer of the Company participating in the offering hereunder, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding
voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, nor any promoter (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the 1933
Act) connected with the Company in any capacity at the time of sale (each, an “Issuer Covered Person”) is subject to any
of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the 1933 Act (a “Disqualification
Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). The Company has exercised reasonable care to
determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event.
cc.
Manipulation of Price. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has: (i) taken, directly or indirectly,
any action designed to cause or to result, or that could reasonably be expected to cause or result, in the stabilization or manipulation
of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased,
or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation

a controlling influence over the management or policies of a bank or any entity that is subject to the BHCA and to regulation by the
Federal Reserve.

knowledge, any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or other representatives of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any
other business entity or enterprise with which the Company or any Subsidiary is or has been affiliated or associated, has, directly or
indirectly, made or authorized any payment, contribution or gift of money, property, or services, whether or not in contravention of
applicable law, (i) as a kickback or bribe to any person or (ii) to any political organization, or the holder of or any aspirant to any
elective or appointive public office except for personal political contributions not involving the direct or indirect use of funds of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
.
ff.
Except as described in Schedule 3(ff), the Company has not granted or agreed to grant to any Person any rights (including “piggy-back”
registration rights) to have any securities of the Company registered with the SEC or any other governmental authority that have not
expired or been satisfied or waived.
gg.
Breach of Representations and Warranties by the Company. The Company agrees that if the Company breaches any of the representations
or warranties set forth in this Section 3 and in addition to any other remedies available to each Buyer and each Placement Agent pursuant
to this Agreement, it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.4 of the Note.

shall reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the Securities for sale to each Buyer at the applicable closing pursuant to this Agreement
under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification),
and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to each Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date.
c. Use

the Company will not, (i) directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any

and/or under any circumstances, convertible into, exchangeable, or exercisable for Common Stock (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition
or announcement being referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”) or (ii) enter into any definitive agreement with regard to
the foregoing, in each case unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4(d).
12
(ii) The
Company shall deliver to each Buyer an irrevocable written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended Subsequent
Placement, which shall (w) identify and describe the Subsequent Placement, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they are
to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the securities in the Subsequent Placement to be issued, sold, or exchanged

(iv) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms or conditions of a Subsequent Placement

cannot occur during any Offer Period), the Company shall deliver to each Buyer a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period of such new Offer
shall expire at the end of the fifth (5th) Trading Day after each Buyer’s receipt of such new Offer Notice.
(v) [Reserved]
(vi) Usury.
To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will
resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter
in force, in connection with any action or proceeding that may be brought by each Buyer in order to enforce any right or remedy under
this Agreement, the Note and any document, agreement or instrument contemplated thereby. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Note and any document, agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, it is expressly agreed and provided

or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums which under applicable law in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated
to pay under this Agreement, the Note and any document, agreement or instrument contemplated thereby exceed such Maximum Rate. It is
agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law applicable to this Agreement, the Note and any document, agreement
or instrument contemplated thereby is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof,
the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to this Agreement, the Note and any document,

assets other than in the ordinary course of business.

to the Company or its securities.

limitations on conversion set forth in the Notes or Warrants) (such affirmative approval being referred to herein as the “Stockholder
Approval”, and the date such Stockholder Approval is obtained, the “Stockholder Approval Date”), and the Company shall
use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such resolutions and to cause the Board of Directors of
the Company to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such resolutions. The Company shall be obligated to seek to obtain the
Stockholder Approval by the Stockholder Meeting Deadline. If, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts the Stockholder Approval
is not obtained on or prior to the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall cause subsequent Stockholder Meetings to be held on
or prior to the sixty (60) day anniversary of the prior Stockholder Meeting thereafter until such Stockholder Approval is obtained.
k. Disclosure
of Transactions and Other Material Information. By 9:00 a.m., New York time within four (4) Trading Days of this Agreement being

by this Agreement in the form required by the 1934 Act and attaching this Agreement, the form of Note (the “8-K Filing”).
From and after the filing of the 8-K Filing with the SEC, each Buyer shall not be in possession of any material, nonpublic information
received from the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents that is not disclosed
in the 8-K Filing. In addition, effective upon the filing of the 8-K Filing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality
or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and each Buyer or any of its affiliates, on the other hand, shall
terminate.
l. Legal
Counsel Opinions. Upon the request of each Buyer from to time to time, the Company shall be responsible (at its cost) for promptly
supplying to the Company’s transfer agent and each Buyer a customary legal opinion letter of its counsel (the “Legal Counsel
Opinion”) to the effect that the resale of the Conversion Shares and/or Warrant Shares by each Buyer or its affiliates, successors
and assigns is exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act pursuant to Rule 144 (provided the requirements of Rule 144
are satisfied and provided the Conversion Shares and/or Warrant Shares are not then registered under the 1933 Act for resale pursuant
to an effective registration statement) or other applicable exemption (provided the requirements of such other applicable exemption are
satisfied). In addition, each Buyer may (at the Company’s cost) at any time secure its own legal counsel to issue the Legal Counsel
Opinion, and the Company will instruct its transfer agent to accept such opinion. The Company hereby agrees that it may never take the
position that it is a “shell company” in connection with its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise.
m. Registration
Rights. The Company has granted each Buyer the registration rights set forth in the registration rights agreement entered into between
the Company and each Buyer on the date of this Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C.
n. Most
Favored Nation. So long as the Company shall have obligations under the Notes which equal or exceed the Principal Amount Threshold,
the Company shall not enter into any public or private offering of its securities (including securities convertible into shares of Common
Stock) with any individual or entity (an “Other Buyer”) that has the effect of establishing rights or otherwise benefiting
such Other Buyer in a manner more favorable in any material respect to such Other Buyer than the rights and benefits established in favor
of each Buyer by this Agreement or the Note unless, in any such case, each Buyer has been provided with such rights and benefits pursuant
to a definitive written agreement or agreements between the Company and each Buyer.
15
o. Subsequent
Variable Rate Transactions. So long as the Company shall have obligations under the Notes which equal or exceed the Principal Amount
Threshold, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable
Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible
into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion
price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for
the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise
or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon
the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the
Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue
securities at a future determined price. Each Buyer shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any
such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
p. Non-Public
Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other person acting on its behalf will provide each Buyer
or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public
information, unless prior thereto each Buyer shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to
keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each Buyer shall be relying on the foregoing covenant
in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information
to each Buyer without such Buyer’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Buyer shall not have any duty of
confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or
affiliates, not to trade on the basis of, such material, non- public information, provided that each Buyer shall remain subject to
applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided, information provided, or any other communications made by the Company, to
each Buyer, constitutes or contains material non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall
simultaneously file such notice or other material information with the SEC pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8- K. In addition to
any other remedies provided by this Agreement or the related transaction documents, if the Company provides any material non-public
information to each Buyer without their prior written consent, and it fails to immediately (no later than that business day) file a
Form 8-K disclosing this material non-public information, it shall pay each Buyer as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty
a sum equal to $3,000 per day beginning with the day the information is disclosed to each Buyer and ending and including the day the
Form 8-K disclosing this information is filed.

any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or
relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement, the Note or

or enforcement of this Agreement, the Note or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby,

Securities, or (iii) the status of each Buyer or holder of the Securities as an Buyer in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated

law.
n. Remedies.
The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to each Buyer by vitiating the
intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach
of its obligations under this Agreement, the Note, the Warrant, or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated
hereby or thereby will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this
Agreement, the Note, the Warrant, or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, that each
Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable
herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Agreement, the Note, the Warrant, or any
other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions
hereof and thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
o. Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the (i) Company makes a payment or payments to each Buyer hereunder, pursuant to the Note, pursuant
to the Warrant, or pursuant to any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, or (ii) each
Buyer enforces or exercises its rights hereunder, pursuant to the Note, pursuant to the Warrant, or pursuant to any other agreement,
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement
or exercise or any part thereof (including but not limited to the sale of the Securities) are for any reason (i) subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, or disgorged by each Buyer, or (ii) are required to be refunded,
repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person or entity under any law (including, without limitation,
any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then (i) to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred and (ii) the Company shall immediately pay to each Buyer a dollar
amount equal to the amount that was for any reason (i) subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside,
recovered from, or disgorged by each Buyer, or (ii) required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee,
receiver or any other person or entity under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law,
common law or equitable cause of action).
p. Failure
or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of each Buyer in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges. All rights and remedies of each Buyer existing hereunder are cumulative
to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

to comment upon such prospectus within one (1) Business Day from the date the Buyers’ counsel receives the final pre-filing version
of such prospectus.
c.
Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under the Registration Statement is insufficient
to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement (a
“New Registration Statement”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities (subject to the limitations set forth
in Section 2(a)) as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after the necessity therefor arises,
subject to any limits that may be imposed by the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (with the understanding that this
process shall be repeated until the Note is extinguished in its entirety and the Warrants are exercised in full). The Company shall use
it reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following
the filing thereof. In the event that any of the Registrable Securities are not included in the Registration Statement, or have not been
included in any New Registration Statement and the Company files any other registration statement under the Securities Act (other than
on Form S-4, Form S-8, or with respect to other employee related plans or rights offerings) (“Other Registration Statement”)
then the Company shall include such remaining Registrable Securities in such Other Registration Statement. The Company agrees that it
shall not file any such Other Registration Statement unless all of the Registrable Securities have been included in such Other Registration
Statement or otherwise have been registered for resale as described above.
2
d.
Offering. If the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a
Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration
Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Buyers under Rule 415 at then prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices),
or if after the filing of the initial Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company is otherwise required
by the Staff or the SEC to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such initial Registration Statement, then the Company
shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such initial Registration Statement (with the prior consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the Buyers and its legal counsel as to the specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom)
until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as aforesaid. In
the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall file one or more New Registration
Statements in accordance with Section 2(c) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration Statements
that have been declared effective and the prospectus contained therein is available for use by the Buyer. Notwithstanding any provision
herein or in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the Company’s obligations to register Registrable Securities (and any related
conditions to the Buyer’s obligations) shall be qualified as necessary to comport with any requirement of the SEC or the Staff
as addressed in this Section 2(d).
3.
RELATED OBLIGATIONS.
With
respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Section 2 including on
any New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities
in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:
a.
The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post- effective amendments) and supplements to any registration
statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement effective
at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to
the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement
until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition
by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such registration statement.
b.
The Company shall permit the Buyers to review and comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and all amendments
and supplements thereto at least two (2) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which
a reasonably objects. The Buyers’ counsel, if any, shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon the Registration Statement
or any New Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto within two (2) Business Days from the date the Buyers’
counsel receives the final version thereof. The Company shall furnish to the Buyer, without charge any correspondence from the SEC or
the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement.
c.
Upon request of the Buyer, the Company shall furnish to the Buyer, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at
least one copy of such registration statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents
incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any registration statement, a copy of the prospectus
included in such registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Buyers may
reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the Buyers may reasonably
request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Buyer. For the avoidance
of doubt, any filing available to the Buyers via the SEC’s live EDGAR system shall be deemed “furnished to the Buyer”
hereunder.
3
d.
The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement
under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Buyers reasonably requests,
(ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations
and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions
as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv)
take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in
any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify
the Buyers who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration
or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction
in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
e.
As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company shall notify the Buyers in writing of the happening
of any event or existence of such facts as a result of which the prospectus included in any registration statement, as then in effect,
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or
amendment to such registration statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy of such supplement or amendment
to the Buyers (or such other number of copies as the Buyers may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify the Buyers
in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post- effective amendment has been filed, and when a registration statement
or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Buyers by email or
facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements
to any registration statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination
that a post-effective amendment to a registration statement would be appropriate.
f.
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any
registration statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such
an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify
the Buyers of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any
proceeding for such purpose.
g.
The Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class
or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules
of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the Principal Market. The Company shall
pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section.
4
h.
The Company shall cooperate with the Buyers to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of the Registrable Securities (not bearing
any restrictive legend) either by DWAC, DRS, or in certificated form if DWAC or DRS is unavailable, to be offered pursuant to any registration
statement and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations or amounts as the Buyers may reasonably request and registered
in such names as the Buyers may request.
i.
The Company shall at all times provide a transfer agent and registrar with respect to its Common Stock.
j.
If reasonably requested by the Buyer, the Company shall (i) immediately incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
such information as the Buyers believes should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including,
without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold, the purchase price being paid therefor
and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment as soon as practicable upon notification of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any registration statement.
k.
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by any registration statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.
l.
Within one (1) Business Day after any registration statement which includes the Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC,
the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities
(with copies to the Buyer) confirmation that such registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A. Thereafter, if requested by the Buyers at any time, the Company shall require its counsel to deliver to the
Buyers a written confirmation whether or not the effectiveness of such registration statement has lapsed at any time for any reason (including,
without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) and whether or not the registration statement is current and available to the Buyers
for sale of all of the Registrable Securities.
m.
The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Buyers of Registrable Securities
pursuant to any registration statement.
4.
OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR.
a.
The Company shall notify the Buyers in writing of the information the Company reasonably requires from the Buyers in connection with
any registration statement hereunder. The Buyers shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities
held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect
the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company
may reasonably request.
b.
The Buyers agree to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of
any registration statement hereunder.
5
c.
The Buyers agree that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event or existence of facts of the kind described
in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e), the Buyers will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant
to any registration statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Buyer’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented
or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company
shall cause its transfer agent to promptly deliver shares of Common Stock without any restrictive legend in accordance with the terms
of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which any Buyer has entered into a contract
for sale prior to the Buyers’ receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e) and for which any Buyer has not yet settled.
5.
EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.
All
reasonable expenses, other than sales or brokerage commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications
pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting
fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company.
6.
INDEMNIFICATION.
a.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Buyer, each
Person, if any, who controls the Buyer, the members, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of each
Buyer and each Person, if any, who controls such Buyer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or
expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any
action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental,
administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or
may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims
(or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or
other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky
Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the
omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company
of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or
regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any New
Registration Statement or (iv) any material violation by the Company of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i)
through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as
such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or
based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information about the Buyers furnished in writing to the
Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, any New
Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the
Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); (ii) with respect to any superseded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of
any such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or
to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the
superseded prospectus was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was
timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in
writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding
such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of any Buyer to deliver or to
cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company
pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is
effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall
remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the
transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Buyers pursuant to Section 9.
6
b.
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action
or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall,
if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a
written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the
indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof
with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be;
provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses
to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation
by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.
The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense
of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available
to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.
No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effectuated without its written consent,
provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party
shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided
for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to
all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written
notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying
party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying
party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
7
c.
The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.
d.
The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant
to the law.
7.
CONTRIBUTION.
To
the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law;
provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds
received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
8.
REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS.
With
a view to making available to the Buyers the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation
of the SEC that may at any time permit the Buyers to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule
144”), the Company agrees, at the Company’s sole expense, to:
a.
make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
b.
file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the
applicable provisions of Rule 144;
c.
furnish to the Buyers so long as the Buyers owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company
that it has complied with the reporting and or disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy
of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii)
such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Buyers to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration;
and
d.
take such additional action as is requested by the Buyers to enable the Buyers to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144,
including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Company’s
Transfer Agent as may be requested from time to time by the Buyers and otherwise fully cooperate with Buyers and such Buyer’s broker
to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.
8
The
Company agrees that damages may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Section 8 and that Buyers
shall, whether or not it is pursuing any remedies at law, be entitled to equitable relief in the form of a preliminary or permanent injunctions,
without having to post any bond or other security, upon any breach or threatened breach of any such terms or provisions.
9.
ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
The
Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Buyer.
10.
AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
No
provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived by the parties from and after the date that is one Business Day immediately preceding
the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision of this Agreement
may be (i) amended other than by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto or (ii) waived other than in a written instrument
signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this

Re: Effectiveness of
Registration
Statement Ladies and Gentlemen:
We
are counsel to NEXGEL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection
with that certain securities purchase agreement, dated as of May [__], 2026 (the “Purchase Agreement”), entered into
by and between the Company and the Buyers (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue to
the Buyers shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share, consisting of the Conversion Shares (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement) (the “Conversion Shares”) and Warrant Shares (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the “Warrant
Shares”) in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Note (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the “Note”),
and Warrants (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the “Warrants”). In connection with the transactions contemplated
by the Purchase Agreement, the Company has registered with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission the following shares of Common
Stock:
(1) _________Conversion
Shares issued to the Buyer in accordance with the Note; and
(2) _________Warrant
Shares issued and/or to be issued to the Buyer upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the Warrants.
Pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a registration rights agreement, of even date with the Purchase Agreement
with the Buyer (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to
register the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, on [_____], 2026,
the Company filed a Registration Statement (File No. 333-[_______]) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the resale of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares.
In
connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered
an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act at [_____] [A.M./P.M.] on [_______], 2026 and we have no knowledge,
after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that
any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares are available
for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement and may be issued without any restrictive legend.
Very truly yours, [Company Counsel]
