Senior
Secured Convertible Promissory Note to J.J. Astor & Co.
On
September 14, 2026, CDT Equity Inc. (the “Company”) issued a senior secured convertible promissory note (the “Note”)
to J.J. Astor & Co. (the “Lender”), in the principal amount of $2,126,250 (the “Principal Amount”). The Note
matures on March 1, 2027 and is payable in twenty-four (24) weekly installments of $88,593.75 each. The Note was issued pursuant to the
Loan Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2026, as amended and restated to date (the “Loan Agreement”), between the Company, CDT
Equity Ltd. (the “Subsidiary Guarantor”) and the Lender. The Company received $1,575,000 before deducting closing fees, with
net proceeds of $1,501,850 funded to the Company. In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company also issued to the Lender
Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 3,468,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Warrant
Shares”) at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and will expire five years
after the issue date.
The
Note is secured by a first priority lien on all right, title, and interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Security and Pledge Agreement
entered into on June 11, 2026, as amended) of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor. Eighty percent (80%) of the net proceeds from
the Company’s existing at-the-market offering program with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners from sales effected on or after September
15, 2026 (and ninety percent (90%) of the net proceeds from sales effected prior to September 15, 2026) are required to be applied first
to the outstanding balance of the Company’s Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note dated August 31, 2026 (the “August
Note”) until the August Note has been paid in full (which no longer remains outstanding as of September 4, 2026), second
to the Note until the Note has been paid in full, and only thereafter to the Company’s Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible
Note, dated June 11, 2026 (as amended, the “Existing Note”). The Company is obligated to continue making all installment
payments required under the Existing Note.
Subject
to applicable limitations, the Lender has the right to convert all or any portion of the outstanding amount of the Note into shares of
Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) seventy percent (70%) of the lowest
volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock over the twenty (20) consecutive trading days preceding the applicable conversion date,
or (ii) $0.05 (the “Floor Price”), subject to adjustment. The Floor Price is subject to semi-annual adjustment to equal twenty
percent (20%) of the lowest volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock over the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately
preceding the applicable reset date. The Lender is prohibited from converting an amount that would result in the Lender beneficially
owning in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (which the Lender may increase to 9.99% in its sole discretion).
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the issuance of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares is subject to stockholder approval under the applicable rules and
regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, to the extent required by such rules and regulations. The Company agreed to convene a stockholder
meeting to obtain such approval if requested by the Lender, but no later than October 31, 2026.
The
foregoing description of the Note and Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the Note and Warrants, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form

(the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereunder as a transaction not involving a public offering.

(a)
Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time
or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed PDF
copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”).
Within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined
in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the
Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by delivery of a promissory note duly executed by the Holder which shall
be payable in full in cash on a date which shall be the earlier to occur of three (3) Business Days following the Holder’s sale
of the Warrant Shares or seven (7) Business Days following the date of issuance of the Warrant Shares (the “Purchase Note”),
unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is elected by the Holder at the time of issuance of the applicable
Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee
or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required
to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and
the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation as soon
as reasonably practicable, but no later than three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to
the Company. 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. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased
and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt
of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of
this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase
hereunder at any given time may be more or less than the amount stated on the face hereof, including as a result of adjustments pursuant
to Section 3.
Common Stock Purchase Warrant — B-2
(b)
Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.25, being the closing price of the
Common Stock on September 11, 2026, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”). Unless the cashless exercise
provisions of Section 2(c) below shall be applicable, the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares being purchased shall be paid in full
by the Holder’s issuance and delivery to the Company of the Purchase Note.
(c)
Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised at any time, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “Cashless
Exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing
[(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A)
= as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such
Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both
executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours”
(as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) the Bid Price
of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) as of the time of the
Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading
hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of
“regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the
applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed
and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;
(B)
= the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X)
= the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such
exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If
Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the
Securities Act, the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company
agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not
then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or
a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common
Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser
selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company,
the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

(“OTCQX”) is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding
date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices
for the Common Stock are then reported on the Pink Open Market (“Pink Market”) operated by the OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar
organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported,
or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good
faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and
expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
Common Stock Purchase Warrant — B-4
(d)
Mechanics of Exercise.
(i)
Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by
the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository
Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such
system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the
Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations
pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in
the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is
entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earlier of
(i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company by the Holder of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery
of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the
delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice
of Exercise, 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 Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by the Warrant Share Delivery Date. If the Company fails for
any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company
shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise
(based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per
Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date
until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant
in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period”
means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect
to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
(ii)
Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of
a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in
all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
(iii)
Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section
2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
(iv)
No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise
of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company
shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
Common Stock Purchase Warrant — B-5
(v)
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax
or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company,
and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided,
however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered
for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as
a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all
Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another
established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
(vi)
Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise
of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
(e)
Holder’s Exercise Limitations. 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 2 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, 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 its Affiliates 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 2(e), 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 Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent
that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to
other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable
shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination
of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution
Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company
shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. 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 2(e), 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 request of a Holder,
the Company shall within one Trading Day 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 Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event shall exceed 9.99% of the number of shares
of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant
held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed
and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any
portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make
changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph
shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Common Stock Purchase Warrant — B-6
(f)
No Stockholder Approval Required. No approval of the Company’s stockholders is required in connection with the issuance
of this Warrant or the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof, and the Company shall issue the Warrant Shares upon any exercise
of this Warrant in accordance with Section 2(d) without regard to any such approval.
Section
3. Certain Adjustments.
(a)
Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise
makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or Common Stock Equivalent securities payable
in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise
of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way
of the Reverse Split contemplated by the Loan Agreement) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv)
issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price
shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such event immediately
before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares are combined, subdivided
or reclassified as a result of such event, in each case determined solely by reference to the ratio of such event and without regard
to any other issuance, sale, repurchase or cancellation of Common Stock, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or re-classification.
(b)
Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time, while this Warrant is outstanding, issue, sell
or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (including, without limitation, any sale of Common Stock
effected under or pursuant to any at-the-market offering, equity line of credit or similar program, including the ATM Financing) without
consideration or for a consideration per share that is less than the Exercise Price then in effect (the “Lower Priced Securities”)
then in such event the Exercise Price of the Warrant shall automatically be lowered to the consideration per share received or receivable
in respect of such Lower Priced Securities. This Section 3(b) shall apply to each such issuance, sale or disposition on a continuing
basis, and no exception shall apply by reason of any such issuance constituting an Exempt Issuance or otherwise. Any adjustment pursuant
to this Section 3(b) shall reduce the Exercise Price only, and shall not increase or otherwise change the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant.
(c)
Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or
other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital
or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend,
spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”),
at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution
to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the
date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided,
however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in
the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution
shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder
exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
Common Stock Purchase Warrant — B-7
(d)
Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or
more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (or any Subsidiary),
directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially
all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange
offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender
or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of greater than 50% of the outstanding
Common Stock or greater than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in
one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization 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,
or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other
business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with
another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires greater than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
or greater than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon
any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable
upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to
any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation
or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable
as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant).
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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the
event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable
at any time concurrently with, or within thirty (30) days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date
of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder,
as described below, an amount of consideration equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion
of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction
is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, Holder shall only be entitled
to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity, as of the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction the same type
or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), valued at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant,
that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether
that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice
to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided further, that if holders
of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock
will be deemed to have received shares of the Successor Entity (which Successor Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental
Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes
Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for
a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the
Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing
a 365-day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction,
(C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered
in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the highest
VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction
(or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request
pursuant to this Section 3(d) and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the effective
date of the Fundamental Transaction). The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company
is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant
and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction
and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced
by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of
shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable
upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative
value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number
of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately
prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder.
Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term “Company” under
this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this
Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the
Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally
with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall
assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect
as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein.
Common Stock Purchase Warrant — B-8
(e)
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the
case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date
shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
(f)
Notice to Holder.
(i)
Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company
shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment
to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(ii)
Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on
the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the
Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with
any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any
sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into
other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email
address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective
date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution,
redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to
be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected
that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other
property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to
deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to
be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a
Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such
notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
(g)
Semi-Annual Reset. On each date that is six (6) months after the Issue Date and on each date that is six (6) months thereafter
for so long as this Warrant remains outstanding (each, a “Reset Date”), the Exercise Price shall be reduced (but not increased)
to equal the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding such Reset Date, if
such lowest VWAP is lower than the Exercise Price then in effect, and, upon each such reduction, the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant shall simultaneously be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this
Warrant in full immediately after such reset equals the aggregate Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant in full immediately
prior to such reset. Any reset pursuant to this Section 3(g) shall be in addition to, and shall not limit, any other adjustment provided
for in this Section 3, and the Company shall deliver notice of each such reset in accordance with Section 3(f)(i). For the avoidance
of doubt, if the Company effects a reverse stock split or other combination of the Common Stock and the trading price of the Common Stock
thereafter declines, both Section 3(a) and this Section 3(g) shall apply: Section 3(a) shall adjust the Exercise Price and the number
of Warrant Shares proportionately upon the reverse stock split, and on the next Reset Date the Exercise Price shall be reduced based
on post-split trading prices and the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased as provided above, so that the aggregate Exercise Price
payable upon exercise of this Warrant in full remains unchanged. Solely by way of illustration: if this Warrant is exercisable for 3,468,500
Warrant Shares at an Exercise Price of $0.25 (an aggregate Exercise Price of $867,125) and the Company effects a one-for-ten reverse
stock split, then pursuant to Section 3(a) this Warrant would thereupon be exercisable for 346,850 Warrant Shares at an Exercise Price
of $2.50 (the aggregate Exercise Price remaining $867,125); and if the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock during the twenty (20) consecutive
Trading Days immediately preceding the next Reset Date is $1.00, then on such Reset Date the Exercise Price would be reduced to $1.00
and the number of Warrant Shares would be increased to 867,125 (the aggregate Exercise Price remaining $867,125).
Common Stock Purchase Warrant — B-9
Section
4. Transfer of Warrant.
(a)
Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement,
this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of
this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay
any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations
specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not
so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required
to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the
Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for
the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
(b)
New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of
the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by
the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division
or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided
or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the original Issue Date, and
the Initial Exercise Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
(c)
Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the
“Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered
Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for
all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
(d)
Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer
of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under
applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public
information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or
transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of the Loan Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement.
Common Stock Purchase Warrant — B-10
(e)
Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant
and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to
or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
(a)
No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights,
dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly
set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant
to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be
required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
(b)
Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares,
and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant,
shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the
Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant
or stock certificate.
(c)
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required
or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business
Day.
(d)
Authorized Shares.
The
Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a
sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.
The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with
the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all
such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof
(other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Common Stock Purchase Warrant — B-11
Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending
its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale
of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant,
but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary
or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise
immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof,
as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from
any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
(e)
Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined
in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement.
(f)
Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and
the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
(g)
Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall
operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision
of this Warrant or the Loan Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which
results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs
and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the
Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
Common Stock Purchase Warrant — B-12
(h)
Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall
be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Loan Agreement.
(i)
Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant
to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of
the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company
or by creditors of the Company.
(j)
Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will
be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate
compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to
assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(k)
Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns
of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall
be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
(l)
Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and
the Holder.
(m)
Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining
provisions of this Warrant.
(n)
Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed
a part of this Warrant.
(o)
Legends. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant or the Registration Rights Agreement, after the effective
date of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and prior to the Holder’s receipt of the notice
of a Grace Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to deliver unlegended
shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or its designee) in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) with respect to which the Holder has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included
as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable, and for which the Holder has not yet settled.
(p)
Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement shall apply for the registration of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall
cause a Resale Registration Statement covering all “Registrable Securities” (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
to be declared effective by the SEC no later than October 15, 2026.
(q)
Compliance with Exchange Rules. The Holder shall not be entitled to exercise any portion of the Warrants if such exercise would
require prior shareholder approval for the issuance of such shares pursuant to applicable Nasdaq rules and regulations.

applied first to the Payment Amount of this Note until this Note has been paid in full, and only thereafter to the Existing Note.
Amounts so applied shall satisfy, and be credited against, the Mandatory Prepayments required by this Section 2(b) and the Minimum
Installment Payments due under Section 2(a), in each case in the order of last maturing Indebtedness, and no such application shall
relieve the Company of its obligation to pay each Minimum Installment Payment in full on its Scheduled Payment Date.
7
(c) Conversion
Notice; Delivery of Conversion Shares. The Lender may elect to convert all or any portion of the Payment Amount into Conversion
Shares in accordance with Section 2(j). Any Conversion Shares so issued shall have been fully registered for resale under the

in either case be immediately salable by the Lender without restrictive legend and without volume or manner-of-sale limitations. The
Lender shall give the Company written notice of such election (the “Conversion Notice”). The Company shall
deliver the Conversion Shares to the Lender or to the brokerage account designated by the Lender within two (2) Business Days
following its receipt of the Conversion Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company fails to timely deliver the specified
amount of Conversion Shares in accordance with the Conversion Notice, it shall constitute an Event of Default under this Note. The
Lender shall not be entitled to convert any portion of the Note to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the
Lender (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the then-outstanding shares of the
Company’s common stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Cap”) which the Lender may, in its sole discretion,
increase to 9.99%. If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to deliver the Conversion Shares to the Lender on or before the
second (2nd) Business Day following its receipt of the Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), then, in addition
to any other right or remedy of the Lender, the Company shall pay to the Lender in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty,
$10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third (3rd) Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date) for each $1,000
of principal and interest being converted, for each Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such Conversion Shares are
delivered.
(d) Change
of Control. This Note shall be immediately payable in full upon a Change of Control Transaction.
(e) Equity
Receipt Prepayment. In addition to the provisions of Section 2(b), the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, plus accrued interest
hereon shall be subject to mandatory prepayment to the extent of (i) any Equity Receipts received by the Company from consummation of
the sale of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, whether pursuant to a resale registration statement or upon a financing in which
AGP or any other investment bank shall act as underwriter or placement agent (each a “Equity Receipt Prepayment”).
Any such Equity Receipt Prepayment shall be applied to the Minimum Installment Payments in the order of last maturing Indebtedness. In
addition, if at any time prior to payment in full of this Note the Company consummates any financing, capital raise or sale of securities
(other than sales of Common Stock pursuant to the ATM Financing), the Company shall, within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof,
apply an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the net proceeds thereof (or, in the case of any such transaction consummated prior
to September 15, 2026, ninety percent (90%) of the net proceeds thereof, as previously agreed) to prepay the Payment Amount of this Note,
and amounts so applied shall be credited against the remaining Minimum Installment Payments in the order of last maturing Indebtedness.
Notwithstanding Section 3.10 of the Third Amendment, such amounts shall be applied first to this Note until this Note has been paid in
full.
(f) Default
Amount. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note shall increase to the
Default Amount and this Note shall bear interest accruing at nineteen percent (19%) per annum, compounded daily and calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year, until payment in full.
8
(g) ATM
Waterfall Priority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Agreement, the Third Amendment, the Payment Direction Agreement
or Section 2(e) of this Note, eighty percent (80%) of the net proceeds of all sales of Common Stock under the ATM Financing effected
on or after September 15, 2026, and ninety percent (90%) of the net proceeds of all such sales effected prior to September 15, 2026 (as
previously agreed), shall be paid to the Lender and applied first to the outstanding balance of the Senior Secured Convertible Promissory
Note dated August 31, 2026 issued by the Company to the Lender (the “August 31 Note”) until the August 31 Note has been paid
in full, second to the Payment Amount of this Note until this Note has been paid in full, and only thereafter to the indebtedness evidenced
by the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Note, as amended by the Third Amendment (the “Existing Note”).
The Company shall cause AGP to remit all net proceeds of ATM Financings to the deposit account maintained at East West Bank that is subject
to the DACA and over which the Lender has control (the “DACA Account”). On or before the Original Issue Date, the
Company shall deliver to the Lender an amendment to the Payment Direction Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender
and countersigned by AGP, irrevocably directing AGP to remit all net proceeds of ATM Financings directly to the DACA Account and confirming
that such direction supersedes any prior remittance instruction given to AGP under the Payment Direction Agreement; the Company’s
failure to deliver such amendment, or any revocation or modification thereof without the Lender’s prior written consent, shall
constitute an immediate Event of Default. Promptly following receipt of any net proceeds of ATM Financings in the DACA Account, the Lender
shall apply eighty percent (80%) thereof (or, in the case of net proceeds of sales effected prior to September 15, 2026, ninety percent
(90%) thereof) in the order of priority set forth above and shall remit the remainder to the Company. Until the August 31 Note, this
Note and the Existing Note have each been paid in full, the Company shall effect sales of Common Stock under the ATM Financing, and shall
maintain the ATM Financing in effect together with a currently effective registration statement and prospectus supplement covering such
sales, in amounts sufficient to deliver to the Lender net proceeds sufficient to pay the August 31 Note in full, then the Payment Amount
of this Note in full and, thereafter, to pay all Existing Note Installment Payments then past due and to keep the Existing Note current
until the Existing Note has been paid in full. The Company shall not suspend, terminate, reduce or fail to instruct sales under the ATM
Financing without the Lender’s prior written consent, and any failure to comply with this paragraph shall constitute an immediate
Event of Default under this Note and the Existing Note. This paragraph shall survive the payment in full, satisfaction and cancellation
of this Note.
(h) Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding Section 2.3 of the Second Amendment, the Company shall file with the SEC, on or before September 15, 2026,
a registration statement registering for resale (i) two hundred percent (200%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion in full of the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, hereon through
the Maturity Date, and (ii) two hundred percent (200%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion in full of the
outstanding principal balance of the Existing Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through its stated maturity,
in each case calculated at the Floor Price in effect on the date of filing and without regard to the Maximum Conversion Shares, any exchange
cap or the Beneficial Ownership Cap, together with all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise in full of the Warrant and
of each other warrant previously issued by the Company to the Lender, including the Common Stock Purchase Warrant dated June 11, 2026
and the Common Stock Purchase Warrant issued in connection with the Third Amendment, and any Make Whole Shares. All shares so registered
shall constitute Registrable Securities under the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company shall cause such registration statement
to be declared effective by the SEC on or before October 15, 2026. No Registration Event shall be deemed to occur under Section 3.13
of the Third Amendment by reason of (i) the filing of such registration statement occurring on or before September 15, 2026 or (ii) the
effectiveness thereof occurring on or before October 15, 2026, in each case in respect of all outstanding balances of this Note and the
Existing Note and all Registrable Securities registered or required to be registered thereunder.
9
(i) Stockholder
Approval Upon Request. If at any time while this Note or the Warrant remains outstanding the Lender so requests in writing, the Company
shall, within forty-five (45) days after such request, call a special meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the approval
of the Company’s stockholders, under applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, of the issuance of the Conversion Shares
and the Warrant Shares, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to hold such meeting as promptly as practicable thereafter, to solicit
proxies in favor of such approval and to cause its board of directors to recommend that stockholders vote in favor thereof. If the approval
obtained at the Company’s stockholder meeting held in August 2026 does not by its terms extend to the issuance of the Conversion
Shares and the Warrant Shares issuable under this Note and the Warrant, the Company shall call such a meeting on or before October 31,
2026 without the need for any request from the Lender. Otherwise, the Company shall have no obligation under this paragraph absent such
written request from the Lender.
(j) Conversion
Mechanics; Floor Price. (i) Subject to the Maximum Conversion Shares and the Beneficial Ownership Cap, the Lender may convert all
or any portion of the Payment Amount into Conversion Shares at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price” for purposes of
this Note, notwithstanding Section 1) equal to the greater of (A) seventy percent (70%) of the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock during
the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable conversion date and (B) the Floor Price then in effect.
(ii) The “Floor Price” means $0.05, being twenty percent (20%) of $0.25, the closing price of the Common Stock on September
11, 2026, as adjusted pursuant to clause (iii); and notwithstanding Section 1, the term “Floor Price” as used in this Note

of the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding such Floor Reset Date. (iv)
Effective as of the date hereof, the Floor Price applicable to the Existing Note is reset to $0.05 and shall thereafter adjust on each
Floor Reset Date on the same basis, and this clause (iv) shall constitute an amendment of the Loan Agreement and the Existing Note to
that effect, made in accordance with Section 5.05 of the Loan Agreement, which amendment the Company and the Lender confirm by their
execution of this Note and to which the Subsidiary Guarantor consents by its execution of the acknowledgment hereto.
(k) Share
Reservation. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for
issuance upon conversion of this Note and exercise of the Warrant, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to two hundred percent (200%)
of the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion in full of the Payment Amount at the Floor Price then in effect, plus all
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant in full. Such reservation is in addition to, and shall not reduce, the share reservation
applicable to the Existing Note under Section 3.6 of the Second Amendment as measured by Section 3.5 of the Third Amendment. If at any
time the number of authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved shares of Common Stock is insufficient to satisfy the reservation
required by this Section 2(k), the Company shall promptly, and in any event within ninety (90) days, take all corporate action necessary

into any agreement or commitment with respect to any of the foregoing.
Section
5. Events of Default.
(a) “Event

of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
(i) any
default in the payment of any Principal Amount, or Default Amount (as applicable) as and when the same shall become due and payable (whether
on a Scheduled Payment Date, the Maturity Date, on Mandatory Prepayment Date, acceleration or otherwise) which default, solely in the
case of required payment of the Minimum Installment Payment on any Scheduled Payment Date, is not fully cured within two (2) Business
Days (the “Grace Period”); provided, that there shall only be two (2) Grace Periods permitted under
this Note;
(ii) the
Company shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the Loan Agreement, the Existing Note or this Note,

it being understood that the non-payment of Existing Note Installment Payments, any failure to satisfy the weekly ATM Financing net proceeds
covenant, or from any failure to file or cause to be declared effective any registration statement, whether arising before, on or after
the date hereof, shall constitute an Event of Default under this Note;
(iv) a
party to the Ascent-Sarborg Purchase Agreements, other than the Company, shall declare a default by the Company under either or both
of the Ascent-Sarborg Purchase Agreements;
(v) any
representation or warranty made in this Note, the Existing Note any other Transaction Documents, any written statement pursuant hereto
or thereto or any other report, financial statement or certificate made or delivered to the Holder or any other Holder shall be untrue
or incorrect in any material respect as of the date when made;
(vi) the
Company shall breach or violate in any respect the provisions of the Payment Direction Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Registration
Rights Agreement, the Warrant or the Transfer Agent Instructions;
(vii) the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary shall be subject to a Bankruptcy Event;
(viii) the
Company shall default (following the expiration of all cure or waiting periods and the provision of all notices required under the applicable
agreement(s)) on any of its obligations under any mortgage, credit agreement or other facility, indenture agreement, capital lease, factoring
agreement or other instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any Indebtedness for borrowed
money or money due under any long term leasing or factoring arrangement (but excluding the Company’s headquarters lease under which
the Company is in default as of the date of this Agreement as disclosed in the SEC Reports) that (a) involves an obligation greater than
$50,000, whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, and (b) results in such Indebtedness becoming or being declared
due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise become due and payable;
(ix) a
final non-appealable judgment by any competent court for the payment of money in an amount of at least $100,000 is rendered against the
Company, and the same remains undischarged and unpaid for a period of 45 days during which execution of such judgment is not effectively
stayed;
(x) the
Company shall fail to timely file with the SEC its Form 10-Q Quarterly Report for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2026, or shall
be delinquent in the filing of any of its other SEC Reports, including its Form 8-K, interim reports or Form 10-Q quarterly report or
Form 10-K annual financial reports required to be filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act (beyond any period of grace granted by the
SEC with respect thereto); or
13
(xi) the
Common Stock shall have ceased to be listed or quoted on Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE American.
(b) Remedies
Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, this Note shall become, at the Holder’s election,
immediately due and payable in the Default Amount, and the Holder shall have the right to convert all or any portion of this Note into
Conversion Shares at the applicable Conversion Price up to the Maximum Conversion Shares or such number of Conversion Shares based on
the then Default Amount of this Note, and shall be entitled to exercise its rights and remedies in connection therewith under the other
Transaction Documents, including enforcing its rights under the Subsidiary Guarantee and Security Agreement. Upon the conversion in full
of the Default Amount in accordance with the terms of this Note, the Holder shall promptly surrender this Note to or as directed by the
Company. In connection with such acceleration or exercise described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives,
any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period
enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration
may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the
Note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this section 5(b). No such rescission or annulment shall
affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
(c) Default
Make Whole Shares. The Event of Default Conversion Price shall be equal to the greater of (a) seventy percent (70%) of the lowest
VWAP of the Common Stock during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable conversion date and (b)
the Floor Price (in each case, as defined in the Loan Agreement). In the event the Event of Default Conversion Price is determined by
reference to the Floor Price (that is, seventy percent (70%) of such lowest VWAP is less than the Floor Price), the Company shall issue
to the Holder additional Conversion Shares (the “Make Whole Shares”) in a number equal to (i) the number of Conversion
Shares that would have been issuable upon conversion of the applicable portion of the Default Amount at seventy percent (70%) of such
lowest VWAP, without giving effect to the Floor Price, minus (ii) the number of Conversion Shares actually issued upon such conversion
at the Floor Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the issuance of any Make Whole Shares would cause the aggregate number
of Conversion Shares issued under this Note to exceed the Maximum Conversion Shares (representing 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding
shares of Common Stock) absent approval of the Company’s stockholders, the Company shall settle the value of such excess Make Whole
Shares (i) in cash, payable within three (3) Business Days following the applicable conversion date and valued at the closing price of
the Common Stock on such conversion date, or (ii) if the Lender so approves in writing, by delivery of shares of Common Stock that are,
at the time of delivery, freely tradable by the Lender without restrictive legend and without volume or manner-of-sale limitations, valued
at the closing price of the Common Stock on such conversion date.
14
Section
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Due
Authorization and No Stockholder Approval Required. The issuance of this Note and the Warrant annexed as Exhibit B hereto
has been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor and no stockholder approval is required
in connection with the issuance of such securities, other than the stockholder approval contemplated by Section 2(i) with respect to
the issuance of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in excess of the Maximum Conversion Shares.
(b) Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holder hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally,
by email attachment, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at the address set forth
in the Loan Agreement, or such other email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holder delivered
in accordance with this Section 6(b). Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder
shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, by email attachment, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier
service addressed to each Holder at the facsimile number, email address or address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company,
or if no such facsimile number or email attachment or address appears on the books of the Company, at the principal place of business
of such Holder, as set forth in the Loan Agreement. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and
effective on the earliest of: (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile
number or email attachment to the email address set forth on the signature pages attached hereto prior to 5:30 p.m. (Eastern time) on
any date, (ii) the next Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number or email attachment to the email address set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Business
Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (Eastern time) on any Business Day, (iii) the second Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent
by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to
be given.
(c) Absolute
Obligation, Security and Ranking. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation
of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, liquidated damages and accrued interest, as applicable,
on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This Note is a direct debt obligation of the
Company and is secured by and under the Subsidiary Guarantee and Security Agreement. This Note is a direct debt obligation of the Company,
and ranks senior to all other evidence of Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(d) Lost
or Mutilated Note. If this Note shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange
and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Note, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Note,
a new Note for the Principal Amount of this Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss,
theft or destruction of such Note, and of the ownership hereof, and customary indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
15
(e) Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by and construed
and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Utah, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.
Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated
by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the County of Salt Lake, Utah (the “Utah
Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Utah Courts for the adjudication
of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect
to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, Action
or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such Utah Courts, or such Utah Courts are improper
or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such suit, Action or Proceeding 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 this Note 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 applicable law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or the transactions
contemplated hereby. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Note, then the prevailing
party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses
incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.
(f) Waiver.
Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver
of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Company or the Holder
to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party
of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note on any other occasion. Any waiver
by the Company or the Holder must be in writing.
(g) Severability.
If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision
is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it
shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable
rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. The
Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company
from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully
do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law,
hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such
as though no such law has been enacted.
16
(h) Remedies,
Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and
in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including
a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual
and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that
there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided
for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the
Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof).
The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy
at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach,
the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened
breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide
all information and documentation to the Holder that is reasonably requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s
compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note.
(i) Most
Favored Nation. From the date hereof and for so long as this Note or the Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall not enter
into any agreement for the sale or issuance of its securities (including securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock
or Common Stock Equivalents) with any Person that provides such Person with rights, terms or benefits more favorable in any material
respect than those granted to the Lender under the Transaction Documents, without offering such more favorable rights, terms or benefits
to the Lender. The Company shall promptly provide written notice to the Lender of any such more favorable rights, terms or benefits.
This paragraph supplements, and does not limit, Section 3.11 of the Third Amendment.
(j) Lender
Consent and Limited Waiver. The Lender, by its execution of the acknowledgment to this Note, hereby consents to the transactions
contemplated hereby and waives compliance with the covenant added to Article IV of the Loan Agreement by Section 3.9 of the Third Amendment,
solely to the extent necessary to permit (i) the incurrence by the Company of the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note, (ii) the issuance
of the Warrant and of the Warrant Shares upon exercise thereof, and (iii) the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this
Note. No Default or Event of Default shall arise under this Note, the Existing Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document
by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby. Except as expressly provided in this paragraph, Section 3.9 of the Third Amendment
remains in full force and effect, and the foregoing consent and waiver is limited to the transactions expressly described herein and
shall not constitute a consent to or waiver of any other or future transaction. In addition, during the period from the date hereof until
payment in full of this Note (the “Forbearance Period”): (i) no Default or Event of Default shall arise under this Note,
including under Section 5(a)(iii), by reason of any failure of the Company to make Existing Note Installment Payments, to satisfy the
weekly ATM Financing net proceeds covenant set forth in Section 3.4(b) of the Second Amendment as continued by Section 3.6 of the Third
Amendment, or to file or cause to be declared effective any registration statement required by Section 2.3 of the Second Amendment or
Section 3.13 of the Third Amendment, in each case whether such failure arose before, on or after the date hereof and regardless of the
cause thereof; and (ii) the Lender shall forbear from exercising any right or remedy under the Existing Note, the Loan Agreement or any
other Transaction Document in respect of any such failure. The foregoing is a forbearance only and shall not constitute a waiver, cure
or forgiveness of any Default or Event of Default under the Existing Note, all of which shall continue to exist, and default interest,
the default premium and all other amounts shall continue to accrue under the Existing Note during the Forbearance Period. Following payment
in full of this Note, the Company shall apply all amounts thereafter payable to the Lender under Section 2(g) to the Existing Note until
all Existing Note Installment Payments that came due and remain unpaid, together with all accrued default interest thereon, have been
paid in full and the Existing Note is current, and shall thereafter resume payment of Existing Note Installment Payments in accordance
with the Third Amendment until the Existing Note has been paid in full. The obligations set forth in this paragraph, including the Company’s
obligation to pay all Existing Note Installment Payments that came due during the Forbearance Period together with all default interest,
the default premium and other amounts accrued under the Existing Note, shall survive the payment in full, satisfaction and cancellation
of this Note.
(k) Preceding
Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall
be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
(l) Headings.
The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Note and shall not be deemed to limit or affect
any of the provisions hereof.
Section
7. Amendments; Waivers. Any modifications, amendments or waivers of the provisions hereof shall be subject to Section 5.05
of the Loan Agreement.
