Entry

into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Agreement

and Plan of Merger

On

August 5, 2026, Ensysce Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or

the “Company”), acquired Cy Biopharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cy”), in accordance with the terms of

an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 5, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, PHRMA Merger

Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“First Merger Sub”), PHRMA Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability

company (“Second Merger Sub”), and Cy. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, First Merger Sub merged with and into Cy,

pursuant to which Cy was the surviving corporation and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “First

Merger”). Immediately following the First Merger, Cy merged with and into Second Merger Sub, pursuant to which Second Merger

Sub was the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Second Merger” and together with the

First Merger, the “Merger”). The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax

purposes.

Under

the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the consummation of the Merger on August 5, 2026 (the “Closing”), in exchange for

the outstanding shares of capital stock of Cy immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger, the Company issued to the

equityholders of Cy the right to receive 282,122 shares of Series C Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share

(the “Series C Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of common

stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), subject to certain conditions described below.

Reference

is made to the discussion of the Series C Preferred Stock in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current

Report”), which is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

Pursuant

to the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to hold a stockholders’ meeting to submit the following matters to its

stockholders for their consideration: (i) the approval of the conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares

of Common Stock in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Conversion Proposal”) and (ii) if

deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company or as otherwise required by applicable law or contract, the approval of an amendment

to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), to authorize sufficient shares of

Common Stock for the conversion of Series C Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement and/or to effectuate a reverse

stock split for the purpose of maintaining compliance with Nasdaq listing standards (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”

and together with the Conversion Proposal, the “Meeting Proposals”). In connection with these matters, the Company has

agreed to file a proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The

Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the related transactions, and

the consummation of the Merger and the concurrent Financing (as defined and described below) was not subject to approval of Company stockholders.

The

foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference

to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein

by reference.

The

Merger Agreement has been filed herewith to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended

to provide any other factual information about the Company or Cy. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants

that the Company and Cy made to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants

were made solely for purposes of the Merger Agreement between the Company and Cy and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations

agreed to by the Company and Cy in connection with negotiating its terms, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged

between the parties in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement. Moreover, the representations and warranties may be subject

to a contractual standard of materiality that may be different from what may be viewed as material to investors or security holders.

In addition, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger

Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures. For the foregoing

reasons, no person should rely on the representations and warranties as statements of factual information at the time they were made

or otherwise.

Tungsten

Partners LLC (“Tungsten”) acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Merger. As compensation for

services rendered by Tungsten, the Company paid Tungsten $100,000, and issued 100,000 restricted stock units for Common Stock and a

$15,000 monthly advisory fee that has been paid since the engagement in March 2026. H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC

(“Wainwright”) was engaged by the Company and received an advisory transaction fee of $250,000 and a fairness opinion

delivery fee of $400,000.

Support

Agreements

In

connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company and Cy entered into stockholder support agreements (the “Company

Stockholder Support Agreements”) with certain of the Company’s stockholders (solely in their capacity as stockholders of

the Company). Pursuant to the Company Stockholder Support Agreements, among other things, each of the Company stockholder parties thereto

has agreed to vote or cause to be voted all of the shares of Common Stock owned by such stockholder in favor of the Meeting Proposals.

The

foregoing description of the Company Stockholder Support Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety

by reference to the full text of the form of the Company Stockholder Support Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit D

In

connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company and Cy entered into stockholder support agreements (the “Cy

Stockholder Support Agreements”) with certain Cy stockholders (solely in their capacity as stockholders of Cy). Pursuant to the

Cy Stockholder Support Agreements, among other things, each of the Cy stockholders has agreed to the terms and conditions of the Merger

Agreement, to waive any dissenters’ rights and to release any claims such stockholder may have against the Company and Cy.

The

foregoing description of the Cy Stockholder Support Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference

to the full text of the form of the Cy Stockholder Support Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit E to the Merger Agreement,

by each such stockholder at the Closing, including those shares of Series C Preferred Stock (including the shares of Common Stock

into which such Series C Preferred Stock is convertible) received by each such stockholder in the Merger (the “Lock-up Agreements”).

The

foregoing description of the Lock-up Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the

full text of the form of the Lock-up Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit B to the Merger Agreement, which is filed

as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.

Private

Placement and Securities Purchase Agreement

On

August 5, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers

party thereto (the “Investors”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell an aggregate

of 120,260 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “PIPE Securities”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately

$43 million (the “Financing”) over two tranches. At the initial closing of the Financing (the “Initial Closing”),

the Company will issue to the Investors 66,811 shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a price of $321.79 per share (or $0.32179 per share

on an as-converted basis), and subject to achievement of a clinical trial milestone, the Company will issue to the Investors 53,449 shares

of Series C Preferred Stock at a price of $402.24 per share (or $0.40224 per share on an as-converted basis) (the “Milestone Closing”).

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to certain conditions described

in this Current Report. The powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions applicable to the Series C

Preferred Stock are set forth in the Certificate of Designation (as defined and described below).

Initial Closing is expected to occur on August 7, 2026 (the “Financing Closing Date”), and the Milestone Closing will occur

subject to achievement of a clinical trial milestone.

Rights Agreements

Registration

Rights Agreement with the Investors

On

August 5, 2026, in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “PIPE

to prepare and file a resale registration statement with the SEC within 90 calendar days following the Financing Closing Date (subject

to certain extensions set forth therein), with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the PIPE Securities. The Company will

On

August 5, 2026, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “3i/Cy Registration Rights Agreement”) with

certain security holders of the Company and Cy as of immediately prior to the Closing. Pursuant to the 3i/Cy Registration Rights Agreement,

Omnibus

Amendment and Termination Agreement

On

August 5, 2026, the Company and 3i, LP (“3i”) entered into an Omnibus Amendment and Termination Agreement (the “OATA”)

pursuant to which the Company and 3i agreed, among other things, to terminate all continuing requirements under all agreements and understandings

among the Company, subsidiaries of the Company and 3i, including eliminating by amendment the Company’s Certificate of Designation

of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), cancelling the securities purchase agreement entered into by

the Company and 3i on November 13, 2025 and converting any outstanding Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock. The OATA will have

no effect if the Company does not acquire Cy within 30 days of August 5, 2026. Under the OATA, all outstanding shares of the Series B

Preferred Stock will be converted into 3,229,276 shares of Common Stock, of which 910,905 shares of Common Stock will be issued directly

to 3i and 2,318,371 shares of Common Stock will be issued to a bona fide financial institution to be held in an abeyance account.

In

addition, all warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock held by 3i will be converted into 7,182.517 shares of Series C Preferred Stock

at an initial conversion ratio of one share of Series C Preferred Stock to 1,000 shares of Common Stock. The OATA also includes a payment

of $250,000 to 3i and the imposition of a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% (or up to 9.99%, which increase shall not take effect

until notice of the increase is provided by 3i and 61 days then elapse) of the Company’s then outstanding shares of Common Stock

(the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”), with the shares exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation held in abeyance for

the benefit of 3i until such time, if ever, as 3i’s right to such shares would not result in 3i exceeding the Beneficial Ownership

Limitation.

The

OATA requires 3i to execute (i) a Company Stockholder Support Agreement and (ii) the 3i/Cy Registration Rights Agreement. The OATA includes

a mutual general release of claims by each of 3i and the Company against the other.

The

foregoing summary of the OATA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the OATA,

a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

of such securities may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities

On

Stock (the “Certificate of Elimination”). The Certificate of Elimination has the effect of eliminating from the Company’s

Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, all matters set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Series

B Preferred Stock previously filed by the Company. The sole holder of the Series B Preferred Stock consented to an amendment of the Series

B Preferred Stock to eliminate such certificate.

All

shares of Series B Preferred Stock previously issued or issuable have been converted into shares of Common Stock. The shares of preferred

stock previously designated as Series B Preferred Stock, having been redeemed, purchased or acquired, have been eliminated and returned

to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, without designation. No shares of Series B Preferred Stock were issued

and outstanding as of the date of filing of the Certificate of Elimination.

The

foregoing is a summary of the terms of the Certificate of Elimination. The summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in

Certificate

of Designation (Issuance of Series C Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock)

On

August 5, 2026, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series C Non-Voting

Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware

in connection with the Merger referenced in Item 1.01 above. The Series C Certificate of Designation provides for the designation of

shares of the Company’s Series C Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series C

Preferred Stock”).

The

Series C Preferred Stock is redeemable for cash at the option of the holder thereof at any time following approval of the Conversion

Proposal if there is any failure to deliver shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock,

at a price per share equal to the then-current fair value of the Series C Preferred Stock, as described in the Series C Certificate

of Designation.

Holders

of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on shares of Series C Preferred Stock equal to, on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock

basis, and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock.

Except

as otherwise required by law, the Series C Preferred Stock does not have voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series C

Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company will not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding

shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series C

Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Series C Certificate of Designation, amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to,

the Charter or bylaws of the Company, or file any articles of amendment, certificate of designations, preferences, limitations and relative

rights of any series of preferred stock, in each case if any such action would adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges

or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Series C Preferred Stock, regardless of whether any of the foregoing

actions shall be by means of amendment to the Charter or by merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, conversion or

otherwise, (ii) issue further shares of Series C Preferred Stock, (iii) prior to the earlier of stockholder approval of

the Conversion Proposal or at any time while at least 30% of the originally issued Series C Preferred Stock remains issued and outstanding,

consummate either: (A) any Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designation) or (B) any stock

sale to, or any merger, consolidation or other business combination of the Company with or into, another entity in which the stockholders

of the Company immediately before such transaction do not hold at least a majority of the capital stock of the Company immediately after

such transaction, (iv) prior to the stockholder approval, authorize or issue any class or series of stock that has powers, preferences

or rights that are senior to those of the Series C Preferred Stock, (v) amend, waive or modify the Merger Agreement in any manner that

would be reasonably likely to prevent, impede or materially delay the stockholder approval or the automatic conversion of the Series

C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock or (vi) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

The

Series C Preferred Stock does not have a preference upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company.

Following

stockholder approval of the Conversion Proposal, each share of Series C Preferred Stock will automatically convert into 1,000 shares

of Common Stock, subject to certain limitations, including that a holder of Series C Preferred Stock is prohibited from converting

shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, such holder, together with its

affiliates, would beneficially own more than a specified percentage (to be established by the holder between 4.9% and 19.9%) of the total

number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.

The

foregoing description of the Series C Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference

Forward-Looking

Statements

This

Current Report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements may be made directly in this report. Some of the forward-looking statements

can be identified by the use of forward-looking words. Statements that are not historical in nature, including the words “anticipate,”

“expect,” “suggests,” “plan,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimates,”

“targets,” “projects,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “will,”

“forecast” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements

include, but are not limited to: statements regarding the Company, Cy, the Financing (including expectations regarding the achievement

of the clinical trial milestone required for the Milestone Closing) and the Merger, and the expected effects, perceived benefits or opportunities

and related timing with respect thereto; statements regarding stockholder approval of the Meeting Proposals and changes in Company management

in connection with such stockholder approval; expectations regarding or plans for the combined company’s pipeline, including clinical

trials and research and development programs; and expectations regarding the use of proceeds from the Financing and cash runway expectations

therefrom, including such proceeds funding the combined company through key clinical milestones and the expected timing of such milestones.

All forward-looking statements are based upon management estimates and forecasts and reflect the views, assumptions, expectations, and

opinions of the Company as of the date of this Current Report, and may include, without limitation, changes in general economic and political

conditions, all of which are accordingly subject to change. Any such estimates, assumptions, expectations, forecasts, views or opinions

set forth in this Current Report constitute the Company’s judgments and should be regarded as indicative, preliminary and for illustrative

purposes only. The forward-looking statements and projections contained in this Current Report are subject to several factors, risks

and uncertainties, some of which are not currently known to the Company, that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance

or financial condition to be materially different from the expectations of future results, performance or financial condition. Although

such forward-looking statements have been made in good faith and are based on assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable,

there is no assurance that the expected results will be achieved. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from the results

discussed in forward-looking statements. Additional information on factors that may cause actual results and the Company’s performance

to differ materially is included in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Copies of such filings with the SEC are available publicly

on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or may be obtained by contacting the Company. Readers are cautioned not to place undue

reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. These forward-looking statements are made only as

of the date hereof, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as

a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

No

Offer or Solicitation; Important Information About the Merger and Where to Find It

This

Current Report is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect

of the Merger and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of the Company or Cy, nor

shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful

prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made,

except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom.

The

to all Company stockholders. Before making any voting decision, investors and security holders of the Company are urged to read the proxy

statement and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the Meeting Proposals as they

become available because they will contain important information about the Merger Agreement and related transactions and the Meeting

Proposals to be voted upon. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement and all other relevant

documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by the Company through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

Participants

Company, Cy, and their respective directors, executive officers and employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of

proxies in respect of the Merger. Information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be deemed participants

and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“First Merger Sub”), PHRMA MERGER SUB II, LLC, a Delaware limited

liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Second Merger Sub” and together with First Merger

Sub, “Merger Subs”), and CY BIOPHARMA, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),

(each, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”). Certain capitalized terms used

in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.

RECITALS

A.

Parent and the Company desire to enter into a business combination as contemplated by this Agreement based on the mutually agreed values

of each of Parent and the Company.

B.

Parent and the Company intend to effect a merger of First Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “First Merger”)

in accordance with this Agreement and the DGCL. Upon consummation of the First Merger, First Merger Sub will cease to exist and the Company

will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

C.

Immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Company will merge with and

into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Merger”),

with Second Merger Sub being the surviving entity of the Second Merger.

D.

The Parties intend that: (i) the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, will constitute an integrated transaction described

in Rev. Rul. 2001-46, 2001-2 C.B. 321, that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code,

and (ii) this Agreement will constitute, and is hereby adopted as, a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Treasury Regulations

Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).

E.

The Parent Board has: (i) determined that the Contemplated Transactions are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of Parent and

its stockholders (“Parent Stockholders”), (ii) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the Contemplated

Transactions, including the issuance of the Parent Preferred Stock Payment Shares to the stockholders of the Company (“Company

Stockholders”) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) determined to recommend, upon the terms and subject to

the conditions set forth in this Agreement, that the Parent Stockholders vote to approve the Parent Stockholder Matters at the Parent

Stockholders’ Meeting to be convened following the Closing.

F.

The First Merger Sub Board has: (i) determined that the Contemplated Transactions are fair to, advisable, and in the best interests of

First Merger Sub and its sole stockholder, (ii) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, and

(iii) determined to recommend, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, that the sole stockholder of

First Merger Sub votes to adopt this Agreement and thereby approve the Contemplated Transactions.

G.

The sole member of the Second Merger Sub has (i) determined that the Contemplated Transactions are fair to, advisable, and in the best

interests of Second Merger Sub and its sole member, (ii) approved and

declared advisable this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, and (iii) determined to recommend,

upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, that the sole member of Second Merger Sub votes to adopt

this Agreement and thereby approve the Contemplated Transactions.

H.

The Company Board has: (i) determined that the Contemplated Transactions are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of the Company

Stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, and (iii) recommended, upon the

Matters (collectively, the “Board Approval”).

I.

Subsequent to the Board Approval, but prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Company Stockholders holding a majority

of the outstanding Company Capital Stock, by written consent and in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation,

the Company’s bylaws and the DGCL: (i) approved and adopted this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, (ii)

acknowledged that the approval given thereby is irrevocable and that such stockholder is aware of its rights to demand appraisal for

its shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, a true and correct copy of which was attached thereto, and that such Company Stockholder

has received and read a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL, and (iii) acknowledged that by its approval of the Merger it is not entitled

to appraisal rights with respect to its shares in connection with the Merger and thereby waives any rights to receive payment of the

fair value of its capital stock under the DGCL (such matters, the “Company Stockholder Matters” and the consent,

the “Stockholder Written Consent”), and the Stockholder Written Consent is to become effective by its terms

immediately following the execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto.

The Company hereby covenants and agrees that, if any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective

Time are subject to a repurchase option or a risk of forfeiture under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other similar

agreement with the Company, the Company will cause such shares of Company Common Stock to no longer be subject to any right of repurchase,

risk of forfeiture or other such conditions as of the First Effective Time.

(c)

No fractional shares of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock shall be issued in connection with the First Merger, and no certificates or

scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued and no cash shall be paid for any such fractional shares. Any fractional shares

of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock that a holder of Company Capital Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive, including without

limitation any conversion of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock into Parent Common Stock, shall be aggregated with all fractional shares

of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock issuable to such holder and any remaining fractional shares shall be rounded down to the nearest

whole share.

(d)

At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Subs, the Company

or any member of the Company or stockholder of Parent, each share of common stock of First Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately

prior to the First Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one share of common stock of the First Step Surviving Corporation.

If applicable, each stock certificate of First Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares of common stock of First Merger Sub

shall, as of the First Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the First Step Surviving Corporation.

(e)

If, between the date of this Agreement and the First Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Parent Common

Stock or Parent Convertible Preferred Stock shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different

class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares or

other like change, the Exchange Ratio shall, to the extent necessary, be equitably adjusted to reflect such change to the extent necessary

to provide the holders of Company Common Stock and Parent Convertible Preferred Stock, with the same economic effect as contemplated

by this Agreement prior to such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares

or other like change; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement will be construed to permit the Company or Parent to take

any action with respect to Company Common Stock or Parent Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively, that is prohibited or not expressly

permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(f)

At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the First Step Surviving Corporation,

Second Merger Sub or their respective stockholders, each share of the First Step Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately

prior to the Second Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall

be made with respect thereto.

1.7

Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the First Effective Time: (a) all holders of (i) certificates representing

shares of Company Capital Stock, and (ii) book-entry shares representing shares of Company Capital Stock (“Book-Entry Shares”),

in each case, that were outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as Company Stockholders,

and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately

prior to the First Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Capital Stock shall be made on such stock transfer

books after the First Effective Time. If, after the first Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any shares of Company

Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (a “Company Stock Certificate”) is

presented to the Exchange Agent or to the Surviving Entity, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as

provided in Sections 1.6 and 1.8.

1.8

Exchange of Shares.

(a)

Parent and the Company have selected Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a trust company formed under the banking laws of

the State of New York, to act as exchange agent in the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). At the First Effective

Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent certificates or evidence of book-entry shares representing Parent Convertible Preferred

Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.6(a). The Parent Convertible Preferred Stock so deposited with the Exchange Agent, together

with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange

Fund.”

(b)

Promptly following the First Effective Time, the Parties shall cause the Exchange Agent to email to the Persons who are record holders

of Company Stock Certificates, Book-Entry Shares, or Company SAFEs that will be converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration:

(i) a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit

F (“Letter of Transmittal”) and an accredited investor questionnaire in customary form and containing such

provisions as Parent may reasonably specify, and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Company Stock Certificates, Book-Entry

Shares, or Company SAFEs in exchange for book-entry shares of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock representing the Merger Consideration.

Upon surrender of a duly executed Letter of Transmittal, accredited investor questionnaire, and such other documents as may be reasonably

required by the Exchange Agent or Parent, each such former holder of Company Stock Certificates, Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled

to receive, and the Exchange Agent shall issue, in exchange therefor, book-entry shares of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock, as applicable,

representing the Merger Consideration that such holder of Company Capital Stock has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of

Section 1.6(a), and each Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be canceled. The Merger Consideration and any dividends

or other distributions as are payable pursuant to Section 1.8(d) shall be deemed to have been in full satisfaction of all rights

pertaining to Company Capital Stock formerly represented by such Company Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

(c)

No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Convertible Preferred Stock with a record date on or after

the First Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Shares with respect

to the shares of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock that such holder has the right to receive in the Merger until such holder surrenders

such Company Stock Certificate or transfers such Book-Entry Shares or provides an affidavit of loss or destruction in lieu thereof in

accordance with this Section 1.8 (at which time (or, if later, on the applicable payment date) such holder shall be entitled,

subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar

Laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

7

(d)

Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Capital Stock as of the date that is one year

after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Company Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who

have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates or transferred their Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this Section

1.8 shall thereafter look only to Parent as general creditors for satisfaction of their claims for Parent Convertible Preferred Stock

and any dividends or distributions with respect to shares of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock.

(e)

No Party shall be liable to any holder of any shares of Company Capital Stock or to any other Person with respect to any shares of Parent

Convertible Preferred Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or for any cash amounts delivered to any public official

pursuant to any applicable abandoned property Law, escheat Law or similar Law. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed

by holders of shares of Company Capital Stock as of the date that is two years after the Closing Date (or immediately prior to such earlier

date on which the related Exchange Funds (and all dividends or other distributions in respect thereof) would otherwise escheat to or

become the property of any Governmental Body) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving

Entity, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

1.9

Appraisal Rights.

(a)

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Company Capital Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the

First Effective Time and which are held by stockholders who have exercised and perfected appraisal rights for such shares of Company

Capital Stock in accordance with the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares” and such stockholders “Dissenting

Stockholders”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration described in Section

1.5 attributable to such Dissenting Shares. Dissenting Stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of

such shares of Company Capital Stock held by them in accordance with the DGCL, unless and until Dissenting Stockholders fail to perfect

or effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the DGCL. All Dissenting Shares held by Dissenting Stockholders

who shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their right to appraisal of such shares of Company Capital

Stock under the DGCL (whether occurring before, at or after the First Effective Time) shall thereupon be deemed to be converted into

and to have become exchangeable for, as of the First Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest,

attributable to such Dissenting Shares upon their surrender in the manner provided in Section 1.5 and Section 1.7.

(b)

The Company shall give Parent prompt written notice of any demands by Dissenting Stockholders received by the Company, withdrawals of

such demands and any other instruments served on the Company and any material correspondence received by the Company in connection with

such demands, and Parent shall have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands; provided that

the Company shall have the right to participate in such negotiations and proceedings. Neither the Parent nor the Company shall, except

with the other party’s prior written consent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such

demands, or approve any withdrawal of any such demands or agree to do any of the foregoing.

8

1.10

Further Action. If, at any time after the First Effective Time, any further action is determined by the Surviving Entity

to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Entity with full right, title and possession

of and to all rights and property of the Company, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Entity shall be fully authorized,

and shall use their and its reasonable best efforts (in the name of the Company, in the name of Merger Subs, in the name of the Surviving

Entity and otherwise) to take such action.

1.11

Withholding. The Parties and the Exchange Agent (each, a “Withholding Agent”) shall be entitled

to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Capital Stock or

any other Person such amounts as such Party or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold under the Code or any other Law

with respect to the making of such payment; provided, however, that if a Withholding Agent determines that any payment to any stockholder

of the Company hereunder is subject to deduction and/or withholding, then, except with respect to compensatory payments, or as a result

of a failure to deliver the certificate described in Section 6.2, such Withholding Agent shall: (a) provide notice to such stockholder

as soon as reasonably practicable after such determination (and no later than three Business Days prior to undertaking such deduction

and/or withholding), and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such stockholder prior to Closing to reduce or eliminate

any such deduction and/or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Body,

such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction

and withholding was made.

constitutes a “listed transaction” within the meaning of Section 6707A(c)(2) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section

1.6011-4(b)(2).

(m)

Section 3.16(m) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule sets forth the entity classification of Parent and each of its Subsidiaries

for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has made an election or taken any other action to change

its federal and state income tax classification from such classification.

For

purposes of this Section 3.16, each reference to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to include any Person that

was liquidated into, merged with, or is otherwise a predecessor to, Parent.

3.17

Employee and Labor Matters; Benefit Plans.

(a)

Section 3.17(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule is a list of all Parent Benefit Plans, other than employment offer letters on

Parent’s standard form and other than individual Parent Options or other compensatory equity award agreements made pursuant to

the Parent’s standard forms, in which case only representative standard forms of such agreements shall be scheduled. “Parent

Benefit Plan” means each: (i) “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, and (ii) other pension,

retirement, deferred compensation, excess benefit, profit sharing, bonus, incentive, equity or equity-based, phantom equity, employment,

consulting, severance, change-of-control, retention, health, life, disability, group insurance, paid time off, holiday, welfare and fringe

benefit plan, program, agreement, Contract, or arrangement (whether written or unwritten, qualified or nonqualified, funded or unfunded,

subject or not subject to ERISA and including any that have been frozen), in each case, sponsored, maintained, administered, contributed

to, or required to be contributed to, by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries for the benefit of any current or former employee, director,

officer or independent contractor of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or under which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries has any actual

or contingent liability (including, without limitation, by reason of having a Parent ERISA Affiliate). Section 3.17(a) of the

Parent Disclosure Schedule indicates which of the Parent Benefit Plans are maintained by a professional employer organization (“Parent

PEO Plans”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all representations pursuant to this Section 3.17

in respect of any Parent PEO Plan shall only be made to Parent’s Knowledge.

(b)

As applicable with respect to each material Parent Benefit Plan, and to the extent provided to Parent from the professional employer

organization, Parent has made available to the Company true and complete copies of (i) each material Parent Benefit Plan, including all

amendments thereto, and in the case of an unwritten material Parent Benefit Plan, a written description thereof, (ii) all current trust

documents, investment management Contracts, custodial agreements, administrative services agreements

and insurance and annuity Contracts relating thereto, (iii) the current summary plan description and each summary of material modifications

thereto, (iv) the most recently filed annual reports with any Governmental Body (e.g., Form 5500 and all schedules thereto), (v)

the most recent IRS determination, opinion or advisory letter, (vi) the most recent summary annual reports, nondiscrimination testing

reports, actuarial reports, financial statements and trustee reports, and (vii) all notices and filings from the IRS or Department of

Labor or other Governmental Body concerning audits or investigations, or “prohibited transactions” within the meaning of

Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

45

(c)

Each Parent Benefit Plan has been maintained, operated and administered in compliance in all material respects with its terms and the

applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and all other Laws.

(d)

The Parent Benefit Plans which are “employee pension benefit plans” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA and which

are intended to meet the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code have received determination or opinion letters from

the IRS on which they may currently rely to the effect that such plans are qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the related

trusts are exempt from federal income Taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code, respectively, and nothing has occurred that would reasonably

be expected to materially adversely affect the qualification of such Parent Benefit Plan or the tax exempt status of the related trust.

(e)

Neither Parent, any of its Subsidiaries nor any Parent ERISA Affiliate maintains, contributes to, is required to contribute to, or has

any actual or contingent liability with respect to, (i) any “employee pension benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section

3(2) of ERISA) that is subject to Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code, (ii) any “multiemployer plan”

(within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA), (iii) any “multiple employer plan” (within the meaning of Section 413 of

the Code) or (iv) any “multiple employer welfare arrangement” (within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA).

(f)

There are no pending audits or investigations by any Governmental Body involving any Parent Benefit Plan, and no pending or, to the Knowledge

of Parent, threatened claims (except for routine individual claims for benefits payable in the normal operation of the Parent Benefit

Plans), suits or proceedings involving any Parent Benefit Plan, or, to the Knowledge of Parent, any fiduciary thereof or service provider

thereto, in any case except as would not be reasonably expected to result in material liability to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

All contributions and premium payments required to have been made under any of the Parent Benefit Plans or by applicable Law (without

regard to any waivers granted under Section 412 of the Code), have been timely made and neither Parent nor any Parent ERISA Affiliate

has any material liability for any unpaid contributions with respect to any Parent Benefit Plan.

(g)

None of Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or any Parent ERISA Affiliates, or to the Knowledge of Parent, any fiduciary, trustee or administrator

of any Parent Benefit Plan, has engaged in, or in connection with the Contemplated Transactions will engage in, any transaction with

respect to any Parent Benefit Plan which would subject any such Parent Benefit Plan, Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or Parent ERISA

Affiliates to a material Tax, material penalty or material liability for a “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of

ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

(h)

No Parent Benefit Plan provides death, medical, dental, vision, life insurance or other welfare benefits beyond termination of service

or retirement other than coverage mandated by Law and to the Knowledge

of Parent, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has made a written representation promising the same.

46

(i)

Except as set forth in Section 3.17(i) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution of this Agreement, nor the performance

of the Contemplated Transactions (either alone or when combined with the occurrence of any other event, including without limitation,

a termination of employment) will: (i) result in any payment becoming due to any current or former employee, director, officer, or independent

contractor of Parent or any Subsidiary thereof pursuant to any Parent Benefit Plan, (ii) increase any amount of compensation or benefits

otherwise payable under any Parent Benefit Plan, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment, funding or vesting of any benefits

under any Parent Benefit Plan, (iv) require any contribution or payment to fund any obligation under any Parent Benefit Plan or (v) limit

the right to merge, amend or terminate any Parent Benefit Plan.

(j)

Except as set forth in Section 3.17(j) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution of, nor the consummation of the

Contemplated Transactions (either alone or when combined with the occurrence of any other event, including without limitation, a termination

of employment) will result in the receipt or retention by any person who is a “disqualified individual” (within the meaning

of Code Section 280G) with respect to Parent and its Subsidiaries of any payment or benefit that is or could be characterized as a “parachute

payment” (within the meaning of Code Section 280G), determined

without regard to the application of Code Section 280G(b)(5).

(k)

No current or former employee, officer, director or independent contractor of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries has any “gross

up” agreements with the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or other assurance of reimbursement by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries

for any Taxes imposed under Code Section 409A or Code Section 4999.

(l)

To the Knowledge of Parent, each Parent Benefit Plan maintained for the benefit of service providers located outside of the United States

(each, a “Parent Foreign Plan”) has obtained from the Governmental Body having jurisdiction with respect to

such plan any required determinations that such plan is in compliance with the Laws of any such Governmental Body.

(m)

The assets of each of the Parent Foreign Plans that is similar to an employee pension benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA

(whether or not subject to ERISA)) or that otherwise provides retirement, medical or life insurance benefits following retirement or

other termination of service or employment are at least equal to the liabilities of such plans.

(n)

Parent has provided to the Company a true and correct list, as of the date of this Agreement, containing the names of all current full-time,

part-time or temporary employees and independent contractors (and indication as such), and, as applicable: (i) the annual dollar amount

of all cash compensation in the form of wages, salary, fees, commissions, or director’s fees payable to each person, (ii) dates

of employment or service, (iii) title and, with respect to independent contractors, a current written description of such person’s

contracting services, (iv) visa status, if applicable; and (v) with respect

to employees, (A) a designation of whether they are classified as exempt or non-exempt for purposes of FLSA and any similar state, federal

or Foreign law and (B) whether such an employee is on leave, and if so, the expected return date.

47

(o)

Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is or has ever been a party to, bound by, or has a duty to bargain under, any collective bargaining

agreement or other Contract with a labor union or similar labor organization

representing any of its employees, and there is no labor union or similar labor organization representing or, to the Knowledge of Parent,

purporting to represent or seeking to represent any employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries, including through the filing of a petition

for representation election. There is not and has not been in the past five years, nor, to the Knowledge of Parent, is there or has there

been in the past five years any threat of, any strike, slowdown, work stoppage, lockout, union election petition, demand for recognition,

or any similar activity or dispute, or any union organizing activity, against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

(p)

Parent and each of its Subsidiaries is, and since December 31, 2022 has been, in material compliance with all applicable Laws respecting

labor, employment, employment practices, and terms and conditions of employment, including worker classification, discrimination, harassment

and retaliation, equal employment opportunities, fair employment practices, meal and rest periods, immigration, employee safety and health,

payment of wages (including overtime wages), unemployment and workers’ compensation, leaves of absence, and hours of work. Except

as would not be reasonably likely to result in a material liability to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, with respect to employees of

Parent and its Subsidiaries, each of Parent and its Subsidiaries, since December 31, 2022, has withheld and reported all amounts required

by Law to be withheld and reported with respect to wages, salaries and other payments, benefits, or compensation to employees. There

is no material Legal Proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened or reasonably anticipated against Parent or any of

its Subsidiaries relating to any current or former employee, applicant for employment, or consultant of Parent.

(q)

Within the preceding two years, Parent has complied in all material respects with the WARN Act.

3.18

Environmental Matters. Parent and each of its Subsidiaries are in compliance and since December 31, 2022 have complied

with all applicable Environmental Laws, which compliance includes the possession by Parent of all permits and other Governmental Authorizations

required under applicable Environmental Laws and compliance with the terms and conditions thereof, except for any failure to be in such

compliance that, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to be material to Parent or its business.

Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has received since December 31, 2022 (or prior to that time, which is pending and unresolved),

any written notice or other communication (in writing or otherwise), whether from a Governmental Body or other Person, that alleges that

Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is not in compliance with or has liability pursuant to any Environmental Law and, to the Knowledge

of Parent, there are no circumstances that would reasonably be expected to prevent or interfere with Parent’s or any of its Subsidiaries’

compliance in any material respects with any Environmental Law, except where such failure to comply would not reasonably be expected

to be material to Parent or its business. No current or (during the time a prior property was leased or controlled by Parent or any of

its Subsidiaries) prior property leased or controlled by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries has had a release of or exposure to Hazardous

Materials in material violation of or as would reasonably be expected to result in any material liability of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries

pursuant to Environmental Law. No consent, approval or Governmental Authorization of or registration or filing with any Governmental

Body is required by Environmental Laws in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the Contemplated

Transactions by Parent or Merger Subs. Prior to the date hereof, Parent has provided or otherwise made available to the Company true

and correct copies of all material environmental reports, assessments, studies and audits in the possession or control of Parent or any

of its Subsidiaries with respect to any property leased or controlled by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any business operated by

them.

48

3.19

Transactions with Affiliates. Except as set forth in the Parent SEC Documents filed prior to the date of this Agreement,

since the date of Parent’s last proxy statement filed in December 2025 with the SEC, no event has occurred that would be required

to be reported by Parent pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K. Section 3.19 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule identifies each

Person who is (or who may be deemed to be) an Affiliate of Parent as of the date of this Agreement.

3.20

and all self-insurance programs and arrangements relating to the business, assets, liabilities and operations of Parent and each of its

Subsidiaries. Each of such insurance policies is in full force and effect and Parent and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance in

all material respects with the terms thereof. Other than customary end of policy notifications from insurance carriers, since December

31, 2022, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice or other communication regarding any actual or possible:

(a) cancellation or invalidation of any insurance policy, or (b) refusal or denial of any coverage, reservation of rights or rejection

of any material claim under any insurance policy. Parent and each of its Subsidiaries has provided timely written notice to the appropriate

insurance carrier(s) of each Legal Proceeding that is currently pending against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries for which Parent or

such Subsidiary has insurance coverage, and no such carrier has issued a denial of coverage or a reservation of rights with respect to

any such Legal Proceeding, or informed Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of its intent to do so.

3.21

Opinion of Financial Advisor. The Parent Board has received an opinion of H.C. Wainwright & Co., dated on or about

the date of the Agreement, to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations

and other matters set forth therein, the Transaction (as specified in such opinion) is fair, from a financial point of view, to Parent

Stockholders. It is agreed and understood that such opinion is furnished solely for the use of the Parent Board and may not be relied

upon by the Company or any other party.

3.22

No Financial Advisors. No broker, finder or investment banker, other than Tungsten Partners LLC, H.C. Wainwright &

Co., LLC, UBS Securities LLC, and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., is entitled to any brokerage fee, finder’s fee, opinion fee, success

fee, transaction fee or other fee or commission in connection with the Contemplated Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on

behalf of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

3.23

Anti-Bribery. None of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or,

to Parent’s Knowledge, agents or any other Person acting on its behalf has directly or indirectly made any bribes, rebates, payoffs,

influence payments, kickbacks, illegal payments, illegal political contributions, or other payments, in the form of cash, gifts, or otherwise,

or taken any other action, in violation of Anti-Bribery Laws. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is or has been the subject of

any investigation or inquiry by any Governmental Body with respect to potential violations of Anti-Bribery Laws.

3.24

Valid Issuance. The Parent Common Stock and Parent Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued in the Merger will, when issued

in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. To the Knowledge of Parent as of

the date of this Agreement, no “bad actor” disqualifying event described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i)–(viii) of the Securities

Act (a “Disqualifying Event”) is applicable to Parent or, to Parent’s Knowledge, any Parent Covered Person,

except for a Disqualifying Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii)–(iv) or (d)(3) of the Securities Act is applicable.

49

3.25

3i Agreement. Parent represents and warrants that the 3i Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the parties

thereto and is in full force and effect.

3.26

Disclaimer of Other Representations or Warranties.

(a)

Except as previously set forth in this Section 3 or in any certificate delivered by Parent or Merger Subs to the Company pursuant

to this Agreement, neither Parent nor any Merger Sub makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, at law or in equity, with

respect to it or any of its assets, liabilities or operations, and any such other representations or warranties are hereby expressly

disclaimed.

(b)

Each of Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties of

the Company set forth in Section 2 or in any certificate delivered by the Company to Parent or the Merger Subs pursuant to this

Agreement, none of Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives is relying on any other representation

or warranty of the Company or any other Person made outside of Section 2 or such certificates, including regarding the accuracy

or completeness of any such other representations or warranties or the omission of any material information, whether express or implied,

in each case, with respect to the Contemplated Transactions.

SECTION 4.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF

THE PARTIES

4.1

Parent Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a)

As promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall take all action necessary under applicable Law to

call, give notice of and hold a meeting of the holders of Parent Common Stock for the purpose of seeking:

(i)

approval of the Preferred Stock Conversion Proposal;

(ii)

if deemed necessary or appropriate by Parent or as otherwise required by applicable Law or Contract, (a) such additional matters as may

be agreed to by Parent and Company to facilitate approval of the Preferred Stock Conversion Proposal, and (b) as may be agreed to by

Parent and Company to authorize the amendment of Parent’s certificate of incorporation to authorize sufficient Parent Common Stock

in Parent’s certificate of incorporation for the conversion of the Parent Convertible Preferred Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement

and/or to effectuate the Nasdaq Reverse Split (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”) (the matters contemplated

by the clauses 4.1(a)(i) and 4.1(a)(ii) are referred to as the “Parent Stockholder Matters,” and such

meeting, the “Parent Stockholders’ Meeting”).

50

(b)

Parent agrees to use reasonable best efforts to: (i) call and hold the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting as soon as practicable after

the date hereof, and (ii) to solicit and obtain the Required Parent Stockholder Vote, including without limitation: (A) engaging a nationally

recognized proxy solicitation firm and information agent, (B) actively attempting to contact and obtain votes from the Parent’s

Stockholders (including its retail stockholders with meaningful holdings of Parent Common Stock), and (C) working with the Parent’s

transfer agent and inspector of elections to facilitate an appropriate and straightforward process for obtaining the Required Parent

Stockholder Vote. If the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters is not obtained at the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting or if on

a date preceding the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, Parent reasonably

believes that (x) it will not receive proxies sufficient to obtain the Required Parent Stockholder Vote, whether or not quorum would

be present, or (y) it will not have sufficient shares of Parent Common Stock represented (whether in person or by proxy) to constitute

a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, then, in each case, Parent will use its reasonable

best efforts to adjourn the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting one or more times to a date or dates no more than 30 days after the scheduled

date for such meeting, and to obtain such approvals at such time. If the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting is not so adjourned, and/or

if the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters is not then obtained, Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such approvals

as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event to obtain such approvals at the next occurring annual meeting of the Parent Stockholders

or, if such annual meeting is not scheduled to be held within six months after the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, a special meeting

of the Parent Stockholders to be held within six months after the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting. Parent will hold an annual meeting

or special meeting of Parent Stockholders, at which a vote of the Parent Stockholders to approve the Parent Stockholder Matters will

be solicited and taken, at least once every six months until Parent obtains approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters.

(c)

Parent agrees that: (i) the Parent Board shall recommend that the holders of Parent Common Stock vote to approve the Parent Stockholder

Matters and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit and obtain such approval within the time frames set forth in Section

4.2(b), and (ii) the Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the Parent Board recommends that the Parent Stockholders

vote to approve the Parent Stockholder Matters.

(d)

The Company and Parent acknowledge that, under Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, the Parent Preferred Stock Payment Shares will not be entitled

to vote on the Preferred Stock Conversion Proposal.

4.2

Proxy Statement.

(a)

As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date and subject to Section 4.2(d), Parent and Company shall prepare and Parent shall

file with the SEC a proxy statement relating to the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting to be held in connection with the Parent Stockholder

Matters (together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement”). The Proxy Statement

will include AICPA audited financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with GAAP, pro forma financial statements of the

Company as required by all securities Laws, and, as applicable, reviewed but unaudited interim financial statements of the Company. Parent

shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) cause the Proxy Statement to comply with applicable rules and regulations promulgated by

the SEC, and (ii) respond promptly to any comments or requests of the SEC or its staff related to the Proxy Statement. Parent shall not

file the Proxy Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or respond to SEC comments or requests, without providing the Company

a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon (which comments shall be reasonably considered by Parent).

(b)

Parent covenants and agrees that the Proxy Statement (and the letters to stockholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy included therewith)

will: (i) comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of applicable U.S. federal securities Laws and the DGCL, and

(ii) will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit

to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances

under which they were made, not misleading.

51

(c)

Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to Parent Stockholders as promptly as practicable

after the Proxy Statement has been filed with the SEC and either: (i) the SEC has indicated that it does not intend to review the Proxy

Statement or that its review of the Proxy Statement has been completed, or (ii) at least ten (10) days shall have passed since the Proxy

Statement was filed with the SEC without receiving any correspondence from the SEC commenting upon, or indicating that it intends to

review, the Proxy Statement, all in compliance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the DGCL. If Parent, First Merger Sub,

Second Merger Sub or the Surviving Entity: (A) become aware of any event or information that, pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange

Act, should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, (B)

receives notice of any SEC request for an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or for additional information related thereto,

or (C) receives SEC comments on the Proxy Statement, as the case may be, then such Party, as the case may be, shall promptly inform the

other Parties thereof and shall cooperate and consult with such other Parties in Parent filing such amendment or supplement with the

SEC and, if appropriate, in mailing such amendment or supplement to the Parent Stockholders.

(d)

The Parties shall reasonably cooperate and consult with each other and provide, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their

respective Representatives to provide, the other Party and its Representatives, with all true, correct and complete information regarding

such Party that is required by Law to be included in the Proxy Statement or reasonably requested by the other Party to be included in

the Proxy Statement. If at any time the information provided in Proxy Statement has or will become “stale” and new information

should, as determined by Parent acting reasonably, be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, then Parent shall

promptly inform the Company thereof and each such Party shall cooperate and consult with one another, and shall use reasonable best efforts

to cause their accounting and other outside professionals to so cooperate and consult, (i) in providing the financial reporting necessary

for such filing and (ii) in filing such amendment or supplement with the SEC (and, if related to the Proxy Statement, mailing such amendment

or supplement to the Parent Stockholders).

4.3

Reservation of Parent Common Stock; Issuance of Shares of Parent Common Stock. For as long as any Parent Preferred Stock

Payment Shares remain outstanding, Parent shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized

but unissued Parent Common Stock or shares of Parent Common Stock held in treasury by Parent, for the purpose of effecting the conversion

of the Parent Preferred Stock Payment Shares, the full number of shares of Parent Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of all

Parent Preferred Stock Payment Shares then outstanding. All shares of Parent Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Parent Preferred

Stock Payment Shares shall be newly issued shares or shares held in treasury by Parent, shall have been duly authorized and validly issued

and shall be fully paid and nonassessable, and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any Encumbrance.

52

4.4

Employee Benefits.

(a)

For purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate, and level of benefits (other than for purposes of determining awards under an equity

incentive plan or accrued benefits under any defined benefit pension plan) under the benefit plans, programs, Contracts or arrangements

of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries) (the “Post-Closing

Plans”), Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each employee of the Company who remains employed by Parent

or the Surviving Entity, or any of their respective Subsidiaries following the Closing, (collectively, the “Continuing Employees”)

to be credited with his or her years of service with the Company or any

of its predecessors; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication

of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for purposes of each Post-Closing Plan providing medical,

dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to a Continuing Employee, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all pre-existing

condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Post-Closing Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or

her covered dependents to the extent and unless such conditions would have been waived or satisfied under the employee benefit plan whose

coverage is being replaced under the Post-Closing Plan, and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any eligible expenses

incurred by a Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of such plan year in which coverage is replaced

with coverage under a Post-Closing Plan to be taken into account under such Post-Closing Plan with respect to the plan year in which

participation in such Post-Closing Plan begins for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements

applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for such plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance

with such Post-Closing Plan.

(b)

The provisions of this Section 4.4 are for the sole benefit of Parent and the Company and no provision of this Agreement shall:

(i) create any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any Person, including rights in respect of any benefits that may be provided,

directly or indirectly, under any Company Benefit Plan, Parent Benefit Plan or Post-Closing Plan or rights to continued employment or

service with the Company or the Parent (or any Subsidiary thereof), (ii) be construed as an amendment, waiver or creation of or limitation

on the ability to terminate any Company Benefit Plan, Parent Benefit Plan or Post-Closing Plan, or (iii) limit the ability of the Parent

to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee or modify the at-will status of any Continuing Employees.

4.5

Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a)

From the First Effective Time through the sixth anniversary of the date on which the First Effective Time occurs, each of Parent and

the Surviving Entity shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who

becomes prior to the First Effective Time, a director or officer of Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, respectively

(the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and

reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim, action,

suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact

that the D&O Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of Parent or of the Company, or any Subsidiary thereof, asserted or

claimed prior to the First Effective Time, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. Except in the case of

fraud, each D&O Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action,

suit, proceeding or investigation from each of Parent and the Surviving Entity, jointly and severally, upon receipt by Parent or the

Surviving Entity from the D&O Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided that any such person to whom expenses are

advanced provides an undertaking to Parent, to the extent then required by the DGCL and DLLCA, as applicable, to repay such advances

if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.

(b)

The provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Parent with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and

exculpation of present and former directors and officers of Parent that are presently set forth in the certificate of incorporation and

bylaws of Parent shall not be amended, modified or repealed for a period of six years from the First Effective Time in a manner

that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the First Effective Time, were officers or directors

of Parent, unless such modification is required by applicable Law. The certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement

of the Surviving Entity shall contain, and Parent shall cause the certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement of

the Surviving Entity to so contain, provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation

of present and former directors and officers as those presently set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Parent.

53

(c)

From and after the First Effective Time: (i) the Surviving Entity shall fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company

to its D&O Indemnified Parties as of immediately prior to the Closing pursuant to any indemnification provisions under the Company’s

Organizational Documents and pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company and such D&O Indemnified Parties set

forth on Schedule 4.5(c)(i) hereto, with respect to claims arising out of matters occurring at or prior to the First Effective

Time, and (ii) Parent shall fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of Parent to its D&O Indemnified Parties as of immediately

prior to the Closing pursuant to any indemnification provisions under Parent’s Organizational Documents and pursuant to any indemnification

agreements between Parent and such D&O Indemnified Parties set forth on Schedule 4.5(c)(ii) hereto, with respect to

claims arising out of matters occurring at or prior to the First Effective Time.

(d)

From and after the First Effective Time, Parent shall continue to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies,

with an effective date as of the Closing Date, on commercially available terms and conditions and with coverage limits customary for

U.S. public companies similarly situated to Parent. From and after the First Effective Time, Parent shall pay all expenses, including

reasonable attorneys’ fees, that are incurred by the persons referred to in this Section

4.5 in connection with their successful enforcement of the rights provided to such persons in this Section 4.5.

(e)

The provisions of this Section 4.5 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current and former

and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives.

(f)

In the event Parent or the Surviving Entity or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any

other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all

or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that

the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this

Section 4.5. Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Entity under this Section

4.5.

4.6

Additional Agreements. The Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to cause to be taken all actions necessary to consummate

the Contemplated Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party to this Agreement: (a) shall make all filings

and other submissions (if any) and give all notices (if any) required to be made and given by such Party in connection with the Contemplated

or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 4.7.

4.8

Tax Matters.

(a)

For U.S. federal income Tax purposes: (i) the Parties intend that the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, constitute

an integrated transaction described in Rev. Rul. 2001-46, 2001-2 C.B. 321 that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the

meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Intended Tax Treatment”),

and (ii) this Agreement is intended to be, and is hereby adopted as, a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections

354 and 361 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a), to which the Parent, Merger Subs and the Company

are parties under Section 368(b) of the Code. The Parties shall treat and shall not take any tax reporting position (including during

the course of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes) inconsistent with the treatment of the Merger as a reorganization

within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal, state and other relevant Tax purposes, unless otherwise required pursuant

to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. The Parties shall (and shall cause their Affiliates

to) not take any action or cause any action to be taken, or fail to take or cause to be taken any action, which action or failure to

act would reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying, for the Intended Tax Treatment.

4.9

Legends. Parent shall be entitled to place appropriate legends, including the legend noted in Section 4.15, on the

book entries and/or certificates evidencing any shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Convertible Preferred Stock to be received in

the Merger by equity holders of the Company who may be considered “affiliates” of Parent for purposes of Rules 144 and 145

under the Securities Act reflecting the restrictions set forth in Rules 144 and 145 and to issue appropriate stop transfer instructions

to the transfer agent for Parent Common Stock and Parent Convertible Preferred Stock.

4.10

Directors and Officers. The Parties shall take all necessary action so that immediately after the Second Effective Time,

(a) the Parent Board is comprised of six members, with five such members designated by Parent, and one such members designated by the

Company, as set forth on Schedule 4.10(a) hereto, which includes a majority of independent directors (in accordance with

Nasdaq requirements) and (b) the Person set forth on Schedule 4.10(b)

hereto under the heading “Officer” is elected or appointed, as applicable, to the position of officer of Parent, as set forth

therein, to serve in such positions effective as of the Second Effective Time until a successor is duly appointed and qualified in accordance

with applicable Law.

55

4.11

Section 16 Matters. Prior to the First Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall take all such steps as may be required

(to the extent permitted under applicable Laws) to cause any acquisitions of Parent Common Stock, restricted stock awards to acquire

Parent Common Stock and any Parent Options to purchase Parent Common Stock in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, by each

individual who is reasonably expected to become subject to the reporting requirements of Section

16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to Parent, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

4.12

Closing Certificates.

(a)

The Company will prepare and deliver to Parent prior to the Closing a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company

(“Company Closing Certificate”) in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent setting forth, as of immediately

prior to the First Effective Time: (i) each holder of Company Common

Stock, Company Preferred Stock and Company Options, (ii) such holder’s name and address, (iii) the number and type of Company Common

Stock held and/or underlying the Company Options as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time for each such holder, and the number

and type of Company Preferred Stock held, and (iv) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock and/or Parent Convertible Preferred Stock

to be issued to such holder, or to underlie any Parent Option to be issued to such holder, pursuant to this Agreement in respect of the

Company Capital Stock, Company Preferred Stock or Company Options held by such holder as of immediately prior to the First Effective

Time, which shall be calculated using the Exchange Ratio (the “Allocation Certificate”).

(b)

Parent will prepare and deliver to the Company prior to the Closing a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of Parent (“Parent

Closing Certificate”) in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, setting forth, as of immediately prior to the Reference

Date: (i) the number of Parent Common Stock outstanding and (ii) (A) each record holder of Parent Options or Parent RSUs, (B) such record

holder’s name, (C) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock underlying the Parent Options or Parent RSUs as of the First Effective

Time for such holder (the “Parent Outstanding Shares Certificate”).

4.13

Takeover Statutes. If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the Contemplated Transactions, each of the Company,

the Company Board, Parent and the Parent Board, as applicable, shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that

the Contemplated Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise

act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the Contemplated Transactions.

4.14

Obligations of Merger Subs. Parent will take all action necessary to cause Merger Subs to perform their obligations under

this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

56

4.15

Private Placement. Each of the Company and Parent shall take all reasonably necessary action on its part such that the

issuance of Parent Common Stock and Parent Preferred Stock Payment Shares

pursuant to this Agreement and the 3i Agreement constitutes a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act in compliance

with Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Each certificate representing Parent Common Stock Payment Shares and the Parent

Preferred Stock Payment Shares comprising Merger Consideration shall, until such time that such shares are not so restricted under the

Securities Act, bear a legend identical or similar in effect to the following legend (together with any other legend or legends required

by applicable state securities applicable Law or otherwise, if any):

“THE

SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) AND MAY NOT

BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM

THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT IS AVAILABLE.”

4.16

Issuance of Parent RSUs. Parent agrees to take all necessary steps, including obtaining approval from the Parent Board

and increasing the share available for future grant under the Parent Stock Plans, as necessary, to grant 1,786,402 Parent RSUs to Roger

Sawhney and 2,353,883 Parent RSUs to Richard Langford, as soon as practicable following the Closing. Such Parent RSUs shall be subject

to the terms and conditions of the applicable Parent Stock Plans and standard vesting provisions as determined by James Morrison and

the compensation committee of the Parent Board.

4.17

Use of Proceeds. Parent covenants and agrees that the proceeds from the Parent Financing and the Cy Convertible Note Financing

8.9

Cooperation. Each Party agrees to cooperate fully with the other Party and to execute and deliver such further documents,

certificates, agreements and instruments and to take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to evidence

or reflect the Contemplated Transactions and to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

8.10

Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction

shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability

of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction

declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making such determination

shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a

term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term

or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted

to it in the prior sentence, the Parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable

term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable

term or provision.

61

8.11

Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred

upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party,

and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable

damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any Party does not

perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement)

in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breaches such provisions. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the

Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement

and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in

equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief

on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy

for any reason at law or in equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement shall not be

required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

8.12

No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person

(other than the Parties and the D&O Indemnified Parties to the extent of their respective rights pursuant to Section 4.5)

any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Agreement, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision

of this Agreement.

(d)

As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to

are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement, respectively.

disclosure is applicable to such other sections and subsections.

(i)

FOURTH.

In accordance with Section 151(g) of the DGCL, all matters set forth in the previously filed Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred

Stock are hereby eliminated.

Except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise required by the DGCL, the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall have no voting

rights. However, as long as any shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the

affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock: (i) alter or

change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate

of Designation, amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws

of the Corporation, or file any articles of amendment, certificate of designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of any

provided for the benefit of the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock, regardless of whether any of the foregoing actions shall be by means

of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, conversion or otherwise,

(ii) issue further shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock or increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the number of authorized

shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock, (iii) other than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, prior to the Stockholder

Approval (as defined below) or at any time while at least 30% of the originally issued Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock remains issued

and outstanding, consummate either: (A) any Fundamental Transaction (as defined below) or (B) any merger or consolidation of the Corporation

with or into another entity or any stock sale to, or other business combination in which the stockholders of the Corporation immediately

before such transaction do not hold at least a majority of the capital stock of the Corporation immediately after such transaction, (iv)

prior to the Stockholder Approval, authorize or issue any class or series of stock that has powers, preferences or rights that are senior

to those of the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock, (v) amend, waive or modify the Merger Agreement in any manner that would be reasonably

likely to prevent, impede or materially delay the Stockholder Approval or the Automatic Conversion (as defined below) or (vi) enter into

any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. Holders of shares of Common Stock acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series

C Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the same voting rights as each other holder of Common Stock, except that such holders

may not vote such shares upon the proposal for Stockholder Approval in accordance with Rule 5635 of the listing rules of The Nasdaq Stock

Market LLC.

4.2

Any vote required or permitted under Section 4.1 may be taken at a meeting of the Holders or through the execution of an action

by written consent in lieu of such meeting, provided that the consent is executed by Holders representing a majority of the outstanding

shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock.

5.

Rank; Liquidation.

5.1

The Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall rank on parity with the Common Stock as to distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution

or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.

5.2

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”),

each Holder shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Corporation the same amount that a holder

of Common Stock would receive if the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock were fully converted (disregarding for such purpose any Beneficial

Ownership Limitations) to Common Stock which amounts shall be paid pari passu with all holders of Common Stock, plus an additional

amount equal to any dividends declared on but unpaid to such shares. If, upon any such Liquidation, the assets of the Corporation shall

be insufficient to pay the Holders of shares of the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock the amount required under the preceding sentence,

then all remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed ratably to the Holders and the holders of Common Stock in accordance

with the respective amounts that would be payable on all such securities if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the avoidance

of any doubt, a Fundamental Transaction shall not be deemed a Liquidation unless the Corporation expressly declares that such Fundamental

Transaction shall be treated as if it were a Liquidation.

C-3

6.

Conversion.

6.1

Automatic Conversion on Stockholder Approval. Effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the third Business Day after the date

that the Corporation’s stockholders approve the conversion of the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock

in accordance with the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, as set forth in Section 4.1 of the Merger Agreement (the “Stockholder

Approval”), each share of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall automatically convert into a number

of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio (as defined below), subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (the “Automatic

Conversion”). In determining the application of the Beneficial Ownership Limitations solely with respect to the Automatic

Conversion, the Corporation shall calculate beneficial ownership for each Holder assuming beneficial ownership by such Holder of: (x)

the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to such Holder in such Automatic Conversion, plus (y) any additional shares of Common Stock

for which a Holder has provided the Corporation with prior written notice of beneficial ownership within 30 days prior to the date of

Stockholder Approval (a “Beneficial Ownership Statement”) and assuming the conversion of all shares of Series

C Non-Voting Preferred Stock held by all other Holders less the aggregate number of shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock held

by all other Holders that will not convert into shares of Common Stock on account of the application of any Beneficial Ownership Limitations

applicable to any such other Holders. If a Holder fails to provide the Corporation with a Beneficial Ownership Statement within 30 days

prior to the date of Stockholder Approval, then the Corporation shall presume the Holder’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock

(excluding the Conversion Shares) to be zero. The shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock that are converted in the Automatic Conversion

are referred to as the “Converted Stock”. For the avoidance of doubt, any shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred

Stock that are not automatically converted pursuant to the Automatic Conversion as a result of a Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall

remain outstanding until such shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock are converted pursuant to Section 6.2. The Conversion Shares

shall be issued as follows:

6.1.1

Converted Stock that is registered in book entry form shall be automatically cancelled upon the Automatic Conversion and converted into

the corresponding Conversion Shares, which shares shall be issued in book entry form and shall be delivered to the Holders within one

Business Day of the effectiveness of the Automatic Conversion without any action on the part of the Holders.

6.1.2

Converted Stock that is issued in certificated form shall be deemed converted into the corresponding Conversion Shares on the date of

Automatic Conversion and the Holder’s rights as a holder of such shares of Converted Stock shall cease and terminate on such date,

excepting only the right to receive the Conversion Shares within one (1) Business Day of the effectiveness of the Automatic Conversion.

Without delaying the delivery of the Conversion Shares, the Holder shall as soon as practicable following the effectiveness of the Automatic

Conversion, tender to the Corporation (or its designated agent) the stock certificate(s) (duly endorsed) representing such certificated

Converted Stock.

6.1.3

Notwithstanding the cancellation of the Converted Stock upon the Automatic Conversion, Holders of Converted Stock shall continue to have

any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply

with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies for the Corporation’s

failure to convert the Converted Stock.

C-4

6.2

Conversion at Option of Holder. Subject to Section 6.1, Section 6.4 and Section 6.5.3, each share of Series

C Non-Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time following 5:00 p.m. Eastern time

on the third Business Day after the date that the Stockholder Approval is obtained by the Corporation, at the option of the Holder thereof,

into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (each, an “Optional

Conversion”). Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached

hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”), duly completed and executed. Provided the Corporation’s

transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer

program, the Notice of Conversion may specify, at the Holder’s election, whether the applicable Conversion Shares shall be credited

to the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (a “DWAC

Delivery”). The date on which an Optional Conversion shall be deemed effective (the “Conversion Date”)

shall be the Trading Day that the Notice of Conversion, completed and executed, is sent via email to, and received during regular business

hours by, the Corporation. The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender any stock certificate to the Corporation until the

Holder has converted all of the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock represented by such certificate in full without regard to the Beneficial

Ownership Limitation, in which case, the Holder shall surrender its stock certificate to the Corporation for cancellation within three

(3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Corporation. Execution and delivery of a Notice of Conversion

shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original stock certificate and issuance of a new stock certificate evidencing the right

to purchase the remaining number of Conversion Shares, if any. The calculations set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in

the absence of manifest or mathematical error.

6.3

Conversion Ratio. The “Conversion Ratio” for each share of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall

be shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion (the “Conversion”) of each share of Series C Non-Voting

Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

6.4

Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion

of any share of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock, including pursuant to Section 6.1, and a Holder shall not have the right

to convert any portion of the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6.2, to the extent that, after giving effect

to such attempted conversion set forth on an applicable Notice of Conversion (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) with respect

to the Series C Preferred Stock, such Holder (or any of such Holder’s affiliates or any other Person who would be a beneficial

owner of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the applicable

rules and regulations of the Commission, including any “group” of which the Holder is a member (the foregoing, “Attribution

Parties”)) would beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Attribution

Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock subject

to the Notice of Conversion or the Automatic Conversion, as applicable, with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall

exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Series C Non-Voting

Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Attribution Parties, and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised

or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including any warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of

its Attribution Parties that are subject to and would exceed a limitation on conversion or exercise similar to the limitation contained

herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6.4, beneficial ownership shall be calculated

in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and the terms “beneficial

ownership” and “beneficially own” have the meanings ascribed to such terms therein. In addition, for purposes hereof,

“group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.

For purposes of this Section 6.4, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number

of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (A) the Corporation’s most recent periodic

or annual filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation that is filed with

the Commission, or (C) a more recent notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent to the Holder setting forth

the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Upon the written request of a Holder (which may be by email), the Corporation

shall, within two (2) Trading Days thereof, confirm in writing to such Holder (which may be via email) 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 any

actual conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock, by such Holder

or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was last publicly reported or

confirmed to the Holder. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall initially be set at 19.9% for each Holder

and its Attribution Parties and (A) at any time by written notice to the Corporation may be adjusted at the discretion of the Holder

to a percentage between 4.9% and 19.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance

of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Automatic Conversion or such Notice of Conversion (as applicable), to the extent permitted

by this Section 6.3, and (B) at any time following Stockholder Approval, by written notice to the Corporation, may be adjusted at the

discretion of the Holder to any percentage at or above 4.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving

effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Second Automatic Conversion or such Notice of Optional Conversion (as

applicable); provided, that to the extent such adjustment is solely permitted in accordance with (A) and (B), such notice must

be delivered not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effectiveness of such adjustment. The Corporation shall be entitled to rely on

representations made to it by the Holder in any Notice of Conversion regarding its Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, by written notice to the Corporation, (i) which will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such written

notice is delivered to the Corporation, the Holder may reset the Beneficial Ownership Limitation percentage to a higher percentage, which

prior to Stockholder Approval shall not exceed 19.9%, to the extent then applicable and (ii) which will be effective immediately after

such notice is delivered to the Corporation, the Holder may reset the Beneficial Ownership Limitation percentage to a lower percentage

(but in no event less than 4.9%) provided that such decrease shall not become effective until the later of (x) 5:00 p.m. Eastern time

on the third Business Day after the date of the Stockholder Approval and (y) if Stockholder Approval is not obtained within six months

after the initial issuance of the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock, the date that is three Business Days after the date that is six

months after the initial issuance of the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock. Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership

Limitation, which prior to Stockholder Approval shall not exceed 19.9%, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further amended

by such Holder without first providing the minimum notice required by this Section 6.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any

time following notice of a Fundamental Transaction, the Holder may waive and/or change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation effective

immediately upon written notice to the Corporation and may reinstitute a Beneficial Ownership Limitation at any time thereafter effective

immediately upon written notice to the Corporation. The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall be construed, corrected and implemented

in a manner so as to effectuate the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained and the shares of Common Stock underlying

the securities in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose

including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act.

C-5

6.5

Mechanics of Conversion.

6.5.1

Delivery of Certificate or Electronic Issuance. Upon Conversion not later than two (2) Trading Days after the applicable Conversion

Date, or if the Holder requests the issuance of physical certificate(s), two (2) Trading Days after receipt by the Corporation of the

original certificate(s) representing such shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock being converted, duly endorsed, and the accompanying

Notice of Conversion (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall either: (a) deliver, or cause to be

delivered, to the converting Holder a physical certificate or certificates representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired

upon the conversion of shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock, or (b) in the case of a DWAC Delivery (if so requested by the Holder),

electronically transfer such Conversion Shares by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its DWAC

system. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates for the Conversion Shares are not delivered to or

as directed by or, in the case of a DWAC Delivery, such shares are not electronically delivered to or as directed by, the applicable

Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the applicable Holder shall be entitled to elect to rescind such Notice of Conversion by written notice

to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates for Conversion Shares or electronic receipt

of such shares, as applicable, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to such Holder any original Series C Non-Voting Preferred

Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and such Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation any Common Stock certificates

or otherwise direct the return of any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Holder through the DWAC system, representing the shares

of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the Corporation.

6.5.2

Obligation Absolute. Subject to Section 6.4 and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant

to Section 6.5.1, the Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series C Non-Voting

Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder

to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any

action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such

Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other

Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection

with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. Subject to Section 6.4 and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of

Conversion pursuant to Section 6.5.1, in the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of its Series C Non-Voting Preferred

Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder

has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder,

restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought

and obtained by the Corporation, and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 150% of the

value of the Conversion Shares into which would be converted the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock which is subject to such injunction,

which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which

shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall, subject

to Section 6.4 and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6.5.1, issue Conversion

Shares upon a properly noticed conversion.

C-6

6.5.3

Cash Settlement. If at any time after Stockholder Approval after the initial issuance of the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock,

the Corporation fails to deliver to a Holder such certificate or certificates, or electronically deliver (or cause its transfer agent

to electronically deliver) such shares in the case of a DWAC Delivery, pursuant to Section 6.5.1 on or prior to the third (3rd)

Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion (other than a failure caused by (i) materially incorrect or incomplete

information provided by Holder to the Corporation or (ii) the application of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation), then, unless the Holder

has rescinded the applicable Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6.5.1, the Corporation shall, at the request of the Holder,

pay an amount equal to the Fair Value (as defined below) of such undelivered shares, with such payment to be made within two Business

Days from the date of request by the Holder, whereupon the Corporation’s obligations to deliver such shares underlying the Notice

of Conversion shall be extinguished upon payment in full of the Fair Value of such undelivered shares. For purposes of this Section

6.5.3, the “Fair Value” of shares shall be fixed with reference to the last reported Closing Sale Price on the principal

Trading Market on which the Common Stock is listed as of the Trading Day immediately prior to, in the case of the Automatic Conversion,

the date of the Stockholder Approval, and in the case of an Optional Conversion, the Conversion Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the

cash settlement provisions set forth in this Section 6.5.3 shall be available irrespective of the reason for the Corporation’s

failure to timely deliver Conversion Shares (other than a failure caused by (i) materially incorrect or incomplete information provided

by Holder to the Corporation or (ii) the application of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation), including due to limitations set forth

in Section 6.5.6 or due to applicable Trading Market rules.

6.5.4

Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates. If the Corporation fails to deliver to a Holder the applicable certificate or

certificates or to effect a DWAC Delivery, as applicable, by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 6.5.1 (other than a failure

caused by materially incorrect or incomplete information provided by Holder to the Corporation or the application of the Beneficial Ownership

Limitation), and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm 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 such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery

Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Corporation shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies

available to or elected by such Holder) the amount by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions)

for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder

was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such

purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered)

the shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock submitted for

conversion or deliver to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied

with its delivery requirements under Section 6.5.1. For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase

price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock with respect

to which the actual sale price (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under

clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide

the Corporation written notice, within three (3) Trading Days after the occurrence of a Buy-In, indicating the amounts payable to such

Holder in respect of such Buy-In together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Corporation. 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 Corporation’s failure to timely deliver

certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock as required pursuant

to the terms hereof or the cash settlement remedy set forth in Section 6.5.3; provided, however, that the Holder shall not be

entitled to both (i) require the reissuance of the shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock submitted for conversion for which such

conversion was not timely honored and (ii) receive the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation

had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6.5.1.

C-7

6.5.5

Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that at all times it will reserve and keep available

out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series C Non-Voting

Preferred Stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of the

Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into

account the adjustments of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock. The

Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued,

fully paid and non-assessable.

6.5.6

Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock,

no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued and no cash shall be paid for any such fractional shares. Any

fractional shares of Common Stock that a Holder of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive shall be

aggregated with all fractional shares of Common Stock issuable to such Holder and any remaining fractional shares shall be rounded up

to the nearest whole share. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis

of the total number of shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock the Holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate

number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

6.5.7

Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series C Non-Voting Preferred

Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue

or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of

any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the registered

Holder(s) of such shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates

unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall

have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

6.6

Status as Stockholder. Upon each Conversion Date, (i) the shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock being converted shall

be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a holder of such converted shares of Series C Non-Voting

Preferred Stock 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 Corporation to comply

with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies for the Corporation’s

failure to convert Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock. In no event shall the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock convert into shares

of Common Stock prior to the Stockholder Approval.

7.

Certain Adjustments.

7.1

Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while this Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock is outstanding:

(A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance

of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of this Series C Non-Voting Preferred

Stock) with respect to the then outstanding shares of Common Stock; (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number

of shares; or (C) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,

then the Conversion Ratio shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding

any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately after such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of

shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation). Any adjustment made

pursuant to this Section 7.1 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

or combination.

C-8

7.2

Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock is outstanding, (A) the Corporation effects

any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person or any stock sale to, or other business combination (including,

without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, share exchange or scheme of arrangement) with or into another Person

(other than such a transaction in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing entity and its Common Stock is not exchanged for

or converted into other securities, cash or property), (B) the Corporation effects any sale, lease, transfer or exclusive license of

all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer

(whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which more than 50% of the Common Stock not held by the Corporation

or such Person is exchanged for or converted into other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Corporation effects any reclassification

of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant (other than as a result of a dividend, subdivision or combination covered

by Section 7.1) to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in

any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series C Non-Voting

Preferred Stock the Holders shall have the right to receive, in lieu of the right to receive Conversion Shares, for each Conversion Share

that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard

to any Beneficial Ownership Limitation), the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive

upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of

one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such subsequent conversion,

the determination of the Conversion Ratio 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 Corporation shall

adjust the Conversion Ratio 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 Holders shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Series C Non-Voting

Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor

to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new certificate of designations with the same terms

and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’

right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement to which the Corporation is a party and

pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply

with the provisions of this Section 7.2 and insuring that this Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security)

will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. The Corporation shall cause to be

delivered to each Holder, at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, written notice of any Fundamental

Transaction at least 20 calendar days prior to the date on which such Fundamental Transaction is expected to become effective or close.

7.3

Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 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 7, 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 any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and

outstanding.

C-9

8.

Redemption. The shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable; provided, however, that the foregoing shall

not limit the ability of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise deal in such shares to the extent otherwise permitted hereby and by

law, nor shall the foregoing limit the Holder’s rights under Section 6.5.3.

9.

Transfer. A Holder may transfer any shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock together with the accompanying rights set forth

herein, held by such holder without the consent of the Corporation; provided that such transfer is in compliance with applicable securities

laws. The Corporation shall in good faith (a) do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and

(b) execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, in each case, as any holder of Series C Non-Voting

Preferred Stock may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Section 9. The transferee

of any shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall be subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to the transferor

as of the time of such transfer.

10.

Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock Register. The Corporation shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other

office or agency of the Corporation as it may designate by notice to the Holders in accordance with Section 11), a register for

the Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock, in which the Corporation shall record (a) the name, address, and electronic mail address of

each holder in whose name the shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock have been issued and (b) the name, address, and electronic

mail address of each transferee of any shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock. The Corporation may deem and treat the registered

Holder of shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of any conversion thereof and for

all other purposes. The Corporation shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection by any

holder of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock or his, her or its legal representatives.

11.

Notices. Any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Certificate of Designation to be given to a Holder of shares

of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the

Corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and shall

be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.

12.

Book-Entry; Certificates. The Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock will be issued in book-entry form; provided that, if a Holder

requests that such Holder’s shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock be issued in certificated form, the Corporation will

instead issue a stock certificate to such Holder representing such Holder’s shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock. To the

extent that any shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form, references herein to “certificates”

shall instead refer to the book-entry notation relating to such shares.

13.

Waiver. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder of a breach of any provision of this Certificate of Designation 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 Certificate of

Designation or a waiver by any other Holders, other than as expressly set forth herein. The failure of the Corporation or a Holder to

insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Certificate of Designation on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver

or deprive that party (or any other Holder) of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of

this Certificate of Designation. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder must be in writing. Notwithstanding any provision in this

Certificate of Designation to the contrary, any provision contained herein and any right of the Holders of Series C Non-Voting Preferred

Stock granted hereunder may be waived as to all shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock (and the Holders thereof) upon the written

consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding, provided, however,

that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to a Holder, and any provisions contained herein that are related to such Beneficial

Ownership Limitation, cannot be modified, waived or terminated without the consent of such Holder, provided further, that any proposed

waiver that would, by its terms, have a disproportionate and materially adverse effect on any Holder shall require the consent of such

Holder(s).

14.

Severability. Whenever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable

law, but if any provision hereof is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, then such provision shall be ineffective

only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or otherwise adversely affecting the remaining provisions

hereof.

15.

Status of Converted Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock. If any shares of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall be converted

or redeemed by the Corporation, such shares shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be retired and cancelled upon such

acquisition, and shall not be reissued as a share of Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock. Any share of Series C Non-Voting Preferred

Stock so acquired shall, upon its retirement and cancellation, and upon the taking of any action required by applicable law, resume the

status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and shall no longer be designated as Series C Non-Voting Preferred Stock.

shall promptly (but no later than one (1) Business Day thereafter) return the previously wired Aggregate Initial Purchase Amount to

each respective Investor by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by each

Investor, and any book entries for the Preferred Shares shall be deemed cancelled; provided that, unless this Agreement has been

terminated pursuant to Section 7, such return of funds shall not terminate this Agreement or relieve such Investor of its

obligation to purchase, or the Company of its obligation to issue and sell, the Preferred Shares at the Initial Closing. Notwithstanding

the foregoing and anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may amend Exhibit A following

the Initial Closing, without the consent of the other parties hereto, to reflect the number of Preferred Shares actually purchased

and the Aggregate Initial Purchase Amount paid at the Initial Closing in accordance with this Section 2.2(a), in each case,

by each such applicable Investor, and shall provide such updated Exhibit A to an

Investor upon request.

(b) Milestone

Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1, the milestone closing of the

purchase and sale of the Preferred Shares (the “Milestone Closing” and, the date on which the Milestone Closing

occurs, the “Milestone Closing Date”) shall occur remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures

simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, or at such other time and place as mutually agreed by the Company

and the Investors, but in no event later than the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date of fulfillment of all of the

conditions set forth in this Agreement. The term “Closing” shall apply to both the Initial Closing and the

Milestone Closing, and the term “Closing Date” shall apply to both the Initial Closing Date and the Milestone

Closing Date. Five (5) Business Days prior to the Milestone Closing Date, the Company will

provide written notice to the Investors (the “Milestone Funding Notice”) of the anticipated Milestone Closing

Date and the wire instructions for delivery of the Aggregate Milestone Purchase Amount. At the Milestone Closing, the

Preferred Shares shall be issued and registered in the name of the Investor, or in such nominee name(s) as designated by such

Investor, representing the number of Preferred Shares to be purchased by the Investor at such Milestone Closing, as set forth in Exhibit

A, in each case against payment to the Company of the purchase price therefor (the “Aggregate Milestone Purchase

Amount”) in full, by wire transfer to the Company of immediately available funds, at or prior to the Milestone Closing, in

accordance with wire instructions provided by the Company to the Investors in the Milestone Funding Notice at least one (1) Business

Day prior to the Milestone Closing. On the Milestone Closing Date, the Company will cause the Transfer Agent to issue the Preferred

Shares in book-entry form, free and clear of all restrictive and other legends (except as expressly provided in Section 4.10)

and the Company shall provide evidence of such issuance from the Company’s Transfer Agent as soon as reasonably practical

following the Milestone Closing Date to each Investor. In the event that the Milestone Closing has not occurred within five (5)

Business Days after the expected Milestone Closing Date, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and such Investor, the Company shall

promptly (but no later than one (1) Business Day thereafter) return the previously wired Aggregate Milestone Purchase Amount to each

respective Investor by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by each

Investor, and any book entries for the Preferred Shares shall be deemed cancelled; provided that, unless this Agreement has been

terminated pursuant to Section 7, such return of funds shall not terminate this Agreement or relieve such Investor of its

obligation to purchase, or the Company of its obligation to issue and sell, the Preferred Shares at the Milestone Closing. Notwithstanding

the foregoing and anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may amend Exhibit A following

the Milestone Closing, without the consent of the other parties hereto, to reflect the number of Preferred Shares actually purchased

and the Aggregate Milestone Purchase Amount paid at the Milestone Closing in accordance with this Section 2.2(b), in each

case, by each such applicable Investor, and shall provide such updated Exhibit A to

an Investor upon request.

and Warranties of the Company. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports or the Disclosure Schedules, which Disclosure Schedules

shall be deemed a part hereof and shall qualify any representation or otherwise made herein to the extent of the disclosure

contained in the corresponding section of the Disclosure Schedules, the Company hereby represents and warrants to each of the

Investors and the Placement Agents that the statements contained in this Section 3 are true and correct as of the date of

3.1 Organization

and Power. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of

Delaware, has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now

conducted and described in the SEC Reports and is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its

properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification, except where such failure to be in good standing or to have

such power and authority or to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the

Company’s subsidiaries is (i) duly incorporated and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction

of its incorporation and has the requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and to own or lease its

properties and (ii) qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such

qualification is required, except in each case as would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

3.2 Capitalization.

The Company’s disclosure of its authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock in the SEC Reports containing such disclosure

was accurate in all material respects as of the date indicated in such SEC Reports. All of the issued and outstanding shares of

Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. None of the outstanding shares of

capital stock of the Company were issued in violation of any preemptive or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company

which have not been waived, and such shares were issued in compliance in all material respects with applicable state and federal

securities law and any rights of third parties. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement,

there are no outstanding rights (including, without limitation, pre-emptive rights), warrants or options to acquire, or instruments

convertible into or exchangeable for, any shares of capital stock or other equity interest in the Company or any of its

subsidiaries, or any contract, commitment, agreement, understanding or arrangement of any kind relating to the issuance of any

capital stock of the Company or any such subsidiary, any such convertible or exchangeable securities or any such rights, warrants or

options; the capital stock of the Company conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the SEC Reports;

and all the outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of each subsidiary owned, directly or indirectly, by the

Company have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non-assessable (except, in the case of any foreign

subsidiary, for directors’ qualifying shares) and are owned directly or indirectly by the Company, free and clear of any lien,

charge, encumbrance, security interest, restriction on voting or transfer or any other claim of any third party. There are no

securities or instruments issued by or to which the Company is a party containing anti-dilution, rights of first refusal, rights of

participation or similar provisions that will be triggered (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes any such anti-dilution,

rights of first refusal, rights of participation or similar provision that will be waived in connection with the transactions

contemplated by this Agreement and the Merger Agreement) by the issuance of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement.

3.3 Registration

Rights. Except as set forth in the Transaction Agreements, contemplated by the Merger Agreement or as disclosed in the SEC Reports,

the Company is presently not under any obligation, and has not granted any rights, to register under the Securities Act any of the Company’s

presently outstanding securities or any of its securities that may hereafter be issued, other than such rights and obligations that have

expired or been satisfied or waived.

obligations under the terms of the Transaction Agreements, including the issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares and,

subject to obtaining the Required Parent Stockholder Vote (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Parent Stockholder Matters (as

in accordance with Section 144(a)(1) of the DGCL (as defined below). This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company

and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by each Investor of this Agreement and that this Agreement constitutes the

legal, valid and binding agreement of each Investor, this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company,

enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,

reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors generally or by general equity principles (regardless

of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Upon its execution by the Company and the other parties

thereto and assuming that it constitutes legal, valid and binding agreements of the other parties thereto, the Registration Rights Agreement

will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except

as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting

creditors generally or by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity

Conversion Shares will be duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon issuance in accordance with the Certificate

of Designation, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will be issued free and clear of any liens or other

restrictions (other than restrictions on transfer under applicable state and federal securities laws) and the holder of the Conversion

Shares shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. Subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties

made by the Investors in Section 4 hereof, the offer and sale of the Preferred Shares to the Investors is and will be, and the

of the United States.

at the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, approval of the Nasdaq Listing of Additional Shares Notification Form and, to the extent required

by Nasdaq rules and regulations, the Nasdaq Listing Application (as defined in the Merger Agreement), as applicable, and the related

filing and effectiveness of an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation approved at the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, the

ordinance, rule or regulations, applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets, or (iii)

authority to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) and

the rules and regulations of any self-regulatory organization to which the Company or its securities are subject, or by which any property

or asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or affected, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), as would not,

individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9

3.7 Consents.

Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each Investor set forth in Section 4 hereof, no consent, approval,

authorization, filing with or order of or registration with, any court or governmental agency or body is required in connection with

the authorization, execution or delivery by the Company of the Transaction Agreements, the issuance and sale of the Securities and the

performance by the Company of its other obligations under the Transaction Agreements, except (a) as have been or will be obtained or

Effect. All notices, consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Company is required to deliver or obtain prior

to the applicable Closing pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained or made or will be delivered or obtained or effected,

and shall remain in full force and effect, on or prior to the applicable Closing.

3.8 SEC

Filings; Financial Statements.

(a) The

Company has filed all forms, statements, certifications, reports and documents required to be filed by it with the SEC under Section

13, 14(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act for the one year preceding the date of this Agreement and is in compliance with General Instruction

I.A.3 of Form S-3. As of the time it was filed with the SEC (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement,

then on the date of such filing), each of the filed SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of

the Exchange Act, and, as of the time they were filed, none of the filed SEC Reports 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. There are no outstanding or unresolved comments from the SEC staff with respect

to the SEC Reports. To the Company’s knowledge, none of the SEC Reports are the subject of an ongoing SEC review. The interactive

data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included in the SEC Reports fairly presents the information called for in all material

respects and has been prepared in accordance with the SEC’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto. The Company is not, and has

never been, an issuer subject to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act.

10

(b) The

consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports (collectively, the “Financial Statements”)

comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto

as in effect at the time of filing (or to the extent corrected by a subsequent restatement) and fairly present in all material respects

the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the dates indicated, and the results of its operations

and cash flows for the periods therein specified, and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting

principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods therein specified (except as otherwise noted

therein, and except that any unaudited financial statements may not contain certain footnotes and are subject to normal and recurring

year-end adjustments). Except as set forth in the Financial Statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company has not

incurred any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, except (i) those incurred in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past

practices since the date of such financial statements or (ii) liabilities not required under GAAP to be reflected in the Financial Statements,

in either case, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, have had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse

Effect.

3.9 Absence

of Changes. Since December 31, 2025, (a) the Company has conducted its business only in the ordinary course of business and there

have been no material transactions entered into by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (except for the execution and performance of

this Agreement and the discussions, negotiations and transactions related thereto); (b) no material change to any material contract or

arrangement by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of its assets or properties is subject has been

entered into that has not been disclosed in the SEC Reports; and (c) there has not been any other event or condition of any character

that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that none of the following will be

deemed in themselves, either alone or in combination, to constitute, and that none of the following will be taken into account in determining

whether there has been or will be, a Material Adverse Effect under this Section 3.9:

(i) any

change generally affecting the economy, financial markets or political, economic or regulatory conditions in the United States or any

other geographic region in which the Company conducts business, provided that the Company is not disproportionately affected thereby;

(ii) general

financial, credit or capital market conditions, including interest rates or exchange rates, or any changes therein, provided that the

Company is not disproportionately affected thereby;

(iii) any

change that generally affects industries in which the Company and its subsidiaries conduct business, provided that the Company is not

disproportionately affected thereby;

(iv) earthquakes,

hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, floods, mudslides, fires or other natural disasters, weather conditions, global pandemics, epidemic

or similar health emergency, and other force majeure events in the United States or any other location, provided that the Company is

not disproportionately affected thereby;

(v) national

or international political or social conditions (or changes in such conditions), whether or not pursuant to the declaration of a national

emergency or war, or the occurrence of any military or terrorist attack, provided that the Company is not disproportionately affected

thereby;

11

(vi) material

changes in laws after the date of this Agreement; and

(vii) in

and of itself, any material failure by the Company to meet any published or internally prepared estimates of revenues, expenses, earnings

or other economic performance for any period ending on or after the date of this Agreement (it being understood that the facts and circumstances

giving rise to such failure may be deemed to constitute, and may be taken into account in determining whether there has been, a Material

Adverse Effect to the extent that such facts and circumstances are not otherwise described in clauses (i)-(vi) of this definition).

3.10 Absence

of Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, claim, investigation, charge, complaint or inquiry pending or,

to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries which, individually or in the aggregate,

has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor are there any orders, writs, injunctions, judgments or

decrees outstanding of any court or government agency or instrumentality and binding upon the Company or any of its subsidiaries that

have had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary, nor to the knowledge

of the Company, any director or officer of the Company or any subsidiary, is, or within the last ten years has been, the subject of any

action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws relating to the Company or such subsidiary

or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty relating to the Company or such subsidiary.

3.11 Compliance

with Law; Permits. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of, or has received any notices of violations

with respect to, any laws, statutes, ordinances, rules or regulations of any governmental body, court or government agency or instrumentality,

except for violations which, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse

Effect. The Company and its subsidiaries have all required licenses, permits, certificates and other authorizations (collectively, “Governmental

Authorizations”) from such federal, state or local government or governmental agency, department or body that are currently

necessary for the operation of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries as currently conducted, except where the failure to possess

currently such Governmental Authorizations has not had and is not reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the

Company nor any subsidiary has received any written (or, to the Company’s knowledge, oral) notice regarding any revocation or material

modification of any such Governmental Authorization, which, individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision,

ruling or finding, has or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

3.12 Intellectual

Property. The Company and its subsidiaries own, or have rights to use, all material inventions, patent applications, patents, trademarks,

trade names, service names, service marks, copyrights, trade secrets, know how (including unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary

or confidential information, systems or procedures) and other intellectual property as described in the SEC Reports necessary for, or

used in the conduct of their respective businesses (including as described in the SEC Reports) (collectively, “Intellectual

Property”), except where any failure to own, possess or acquire such Intellectual Property has not had, and would not, individually

or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Intellectual Property of the Company and its subsidiaries

has not been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. To the Company’s

knowledge: (i) there are no third parties who have rights to any Intellectual Property, including no liens, security interests, or other

encumbrances; and (ii) there is no infringement by third parties of any Intellectual Property, except, in each case, which, individually

or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No action, suit, or other proceeding

is pending, or, to the Company’s knowledge, is threatened: (A) challenging the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ rights

in or to any Intellectual Property; (B) challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of any Intellectual Property; or (C) alleging

that the Company or any of its subsidiaries infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any patent, trademark, trade name, service

name, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary rights of others, except, in each case, which, individually or in the aggregate, have

not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its subsidiaries have complied in all

material respects with the terms of each agreement pursuant to which Intellectual Property has been licensed to the Company or any of

its subsidiaries in all material respects, and to the Company’s knowledge all such agreements are in full force and effect. To

the Company’s knowledge, there are no material defects in any of the patents or patent applications included in the Intellectual

Property. The Company and its subsidiaries have taken all reasonable steps to protect, maintain and safeguard their Intellectual Property.

12

3.13 Employee

Benefits. Except as would not be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each Benefit Plan has been established

and administered in accordance with its terms and in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code, the Patient Protection

and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended, and other applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Company and its subsidiaries are in

compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations regarding employment, except for any failures to

comply that are not reasonably likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no labor dispute,

strike or work stoppage against the Company or its subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened which may interfere

with the business activities of the Company, except where such dispute, strike or work stoppage is not reasonably likely, individually

or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.14 Taxes.

The Company and its subsidiaries have filed all federal, state and foreign income Tax Returns and other Tax Returns required to have

been filed under applicable law (or extensions have been duly obtained) and have paid all Taxes required to have been paid by them, except

for those which are being contested in good faith and except where failure to file such Tax Returns or pay such Taxes would not, individually

or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No assessment in connection with United States federal

tax returns has been made against the Company. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company in respect of any income

and corporation tax liability for any years not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments or reassessments for additional

income tax for any years not finally determined, except to the extent of any inadequacy that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

No audits, examinations, or other proceedings with respect to any material amounts of Taxes of the Company and its subsidiaries are presently

in progress or have been asserted or proposed in writing without subsequently being paid, settled or withdrawn. There are no liens on

any of the assets of the Company. At all times since inception, the Company has been and continues to be classified as a corporation

for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has been a United States real property holding

corporation within the meaning of Code Section 897(c)-2 during the period specified in Code Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii).

or contaminants (“Environmental Laws”), (ii) have received all permits and other Governmental Authorizations required

under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their business and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit,

license or approval, except where such noncompliance with Environmental Laws, failure to receive required permits, licenses or other

approvals or failure to comply with the terms and conditions of such permits, licenses or approvals would not, individually or in the

aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received since

January 1, 2025, any written notice or other communication (in writing or otherwise), whether from a governmental authority or other

Person, that alleges that the Company or any subsidiary is not in compliance with any Environmental Law and, to the knowledge of the

Company, there are no circumstances that may prevent or interfere with the Company’s or any subsidiary’s compliance in any

material respects with any Environmental Law in the future, except where such failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have

a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company: (i) no current or (during the time a prior property was leased or controlled

by the Company) prior property leased or controlled by the Company or any subsidiary has received since July 1, 2024, any written notice

or other communication relating to property owned or leased at any time by the Company, whether from a governmental authority, or other

Person, that alleges that such current or prior owner or the Company or any subsidiary is not in compliance with or violated any Environmental

Law relating to such property and (ii) the Company has no material liability under any Environmental Law.

13

3.16 Title.

Each of the Company and its subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all personal property owned by it that is material to the business

of the Company, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as do not materially and adversely affect the value

of such property and do not materially and adversely interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company

or its subsidiaries, as the case may be. Any real property and buildings held under lease by the Company or its subsidiaries is held

and tangible assets, and each of such insurance policies is in full force and effect and the Company is in compliance in all material

respects with the terms of such insurance policies. Other than customary end-of-policy notifications from insurance carriers, since July

1, 2024, the Company has not received any notice or other communication regarding any actual or possible: (i) cancellation or invalidation

of any material insurance policy or (ii) refusal or denial of any coverage, reservation of rights or rejection of any material claim

under any insurance policy.

tests and clinical trials and other studies used to support regulatory approval (collectively, “Studies”) being conducted

instrument, undertaking, credit facility, franchise, license, judgment, order, ruling, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulations,

Transaction Agreements.

it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities and is an “institutional account” as defined by FINRA

Rule 4512(c). The Investor understands and agrees that the offering and sale of the Securities has not been registered under the Securities

Act or any applicable state securities laws and is being made in reliance upon federal and state exemptions for transactions not involving

a public offering which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Investor’s

representations as expressed herein.

4.7 Intent.

The Investor is purchasing the Preferred Shares solely for the Investor’s own account and not for the account of others, and not

with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act, and the Investor has no present intention

of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act without prejudice, however,

to the Investor’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with applicable

federal and state securities laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Investor is purchasing the Preferred Shares as a fiduciary or

agent for one or more investor accounts, the Investor has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full

power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account.

The Investor has no present arrangement to sell the Preferred Shares to or through any person or entity. The Investor understands that

the Securities must be held indefinitely unless such Conversion Shares are resold pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities

Act or an exemption from registration is available. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by the Investor

19

4.8 Investment

Experience; Ability to Protect Its Own Interests and Bear Economic Risks. The Investor acknowledges that it can bear the economic

risk and complete loss of its investment in the Securities and has knowledge and experience in finance, securities, taxation, investments

and other business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investments of the kind described in this Agreement

and contemplated hereby, and the Investor has had an opportunity to seek, and has sought, such accounting, legal, business and tax advice

as the Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. The Investor acknowledges that the Investor (i) is

a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in private placements of equity securities and capable of evaluating investment risks

independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities and (ii)

has exercised independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the purchase of the Securities, and (iii) is not acting in concert

with any other Investor in the offering, such the investors would constitute a group for purposes of the federal securities laws. The

Investor acknowledges that the Investor is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase of the Preferred Shares and

ownership of the Securities, including those set forth in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Alone, or together with any professional

advisor(s), the Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Securities and determined that

the Securities are a suitable investment for the Investor. The Investor is, at this time and in the foreseeable future, able to afford

the loss of the Investor’s entire investment in the Securities and the Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of

total loss exists.

Investment Decision. The Investor understands that nothing in the Transaction Agreements or any other materials presented by or on

behalf of the Company to the Investor in connection with the purchase of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.

The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in such Investor’s sole discretion, has deemed necessary

or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Securities. In connection with the offer and sale of Securities, none of the Placement

Agents has acted as the Investor’s financial advisor or fiduciary. The Investor understands that the Placement Agents and their

respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling person have made no independent investigation with respect

to the Company or the Securities or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to the Investors by the Company.

4.10 Securities

Not Registered; Legends. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Preferred Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving

any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the Investor understands that the Securities have not been registered

under the Securities Act, by reason of their issuance by the Company in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the

Securities Act, and that the Securities must continue to be held and may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed

of by the Investor unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration

and in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. The Investor understands that the

exemptions from registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to it) promulgated under the Securities Act depend

on the satisfaction of various conditions including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period and on requirements

relating to the Company which are outside of the Investor’s control and which the Company may not be able to satisfy, and that,

if applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales only in limited amounts. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has been

advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition of any of the Securities. The Investor

acknowledges that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Preferred Shares or made any

findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.

Investor understands that any certificates or book entry notations evidencing the Securities may bear one or more legends in substantially

the following form and substance:

“THE

SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”),

PURSUANT TO RULE 144, (III) THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE LAWFULLY

MADE WITHOUT REGISTRATION, OR (IV) THE SECURITIES ARE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT CONSIDERATION TO AN AFFILIATE OF SUCH HOLDER OR A CUSTODIAL

NOMINEE (WHICH FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT SHALL REQUIRE NEITHER CONSENT NOR THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION).”

In

addition, the Securities may contain a legend regarding affiliate status of the Investor, if applicable.

4.11 No

General Solicitation. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is purchasing the Preferred Shares directly from the

Company. Investor became aware of this offering of the Securities solely by means of direct contact from the Placement Agents or directly

from the Company as a result of a pre-existing, substantive relationship with the Company or the Placement Agents, and/or their respective

advisors (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, bankers, consultants and financial advisors), agents, control persons,

representatives, Affiliates, directors, officers, managers, members, and/or employees, and/or the representatives of such persons. The

Preferred Shares were offered to Investor solely by direct contact between Investor and the Company, the Placement Agents and/or their

receive such answers and obtain such information from the Company regarding the Company, its business and the terms and conditions of

the offering of the Preferred Shares as the Investor and the Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary

to make an investment decision with respect to the Securities and that the Investor has independently made its own analysis and decision

to invest in the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by the Investor shall modify, limit

or otherwise affect the Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

4.13 Certain

Trading Activities. Other than consummating the transaction contemplated hereby, the Investor has not, nor has any Person acting

on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short

Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that the Investor was first contacted by the Company

or any other Person regarding the transaction contemplated hereby and ending immediately prior to the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding

the foregoing, in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate

portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the

portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with

respect to the portion of the assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered

by this Agreement. Furthermore, in the case of an Investor whose investment advisor utilized an information barrier with respect to the

for which the Investor’s investment advisor is also an investment advisor or sub-advisor was informed of the information regarding

the transactions contemplated hereunder. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement and to its advisors and agents who had a

need to know such information, the Investor has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this

transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained

herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability

of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

the legend set forth in Section 4.10 above, (i) following any transfer or sale of such Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares once

such Securities are eligible for transfer or sale pursuant to Rule 144 or any other applicable exemption from the registration requirements

of the Securities Act, or (ii) if such Conversion Shares are eligible for resale under Rule 144(b)(1) or any successor provision (or,

in the event that Conversion Shares are issued upon conversion after the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Conversion

Shares shall be issued without restrictive legends). Without limiting the foregoing, upon request of an Investor and upon receipt by

the Company of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such legend is no longer required under

the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Company shall promptly cause the legend to be removed from any certificate

for any Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and deliver, or cause to be delivered, to

any Investor new certificate(s) representing the Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares that are free from all restrictive and other legends

or, at the request of such Investor, via DWAC transfer to such Investor’s account.  In connection with any sale, assignment,

transfer or other disposition of the Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares by an Investor pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any other

exemption under the Securities Act such that the purchaser acquires freely tradable shares and upon compliance by the Investor with the

requirements of this Agreement, if requested by the Investor by notice to the Company, the Company shall request the Transfer Agent to

remove any restrictive legends related to the book entry account holding such shares and make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry

shares sold or disposed of without restrictive legends as soon as reasonably practicable following any such request therefor from the

Investor, provided that the Company has timely received from the Investor customary representations and other documentation reasonably

acceptable to the Company in connection therewith. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its Transfer Agent and its legal

counsel associated with such legend removal.

and sold under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective registration statement; (ii) have been sold pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii)

are eligible for resale under Rule 144(b)(1) without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information

requirements under Rule 144(c)(1) (or any successor provision), the Company shall, in accordance with the provisions of this Section

5.5(b) and as soon as reasonably practicable following any request therefor from an Investor accompanied by such customary and reasonably

acceptable documentation acceptable to the Company and its counsel, (A) deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the

Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry shares, and (B) cause its counsel to deliver to the Transfer Agent

one or more opinions to the effect that the removal of such legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act if

members, managers, employees, investment advisors and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), from and against

any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable and documented attorney fees and

disbursements and other documented out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending

under the Transaction Agreements, (ii) as a result of or arising out of any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened, against

an Indemnified Person in any capacity by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of the Indemnified Person, whether directly

person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect

to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably

satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ

failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment

employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense

of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give written notice as provided

herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall

materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying

party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate

firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified

party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement

unless such judgment or settlement (i) imposes no liability or obligation on, (ii) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving

of a complete, explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such indemnified claims of all liability of the indemnified

party in respect of such claim or litigation in favor of, and (iii) does not include any admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing

8.12 Independent

Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Right. The obligations of each Investor under this Agreement are several and not joint

Investor under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute

the Investors as, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture

or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group, and the Company

will not assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Company acknowledges

that the Investors are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this

Agreement. It is expressly understood that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and an Investor, solely,

and not between the Company and the Investors collectively and not between and among the Investors. The Company acknowledges and each

Investor confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of

its own counsel and advisors. Each Investor also acknowledges that Troutman Pepper Locke LLP has not rendered legal advice to such Investor.

Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out

of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such

purpose. The Company has elected to provide all Investors with the same terms and Transaction Agreements for the convenience of the Company

and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor.

pdf signature including any electronic signatures complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com shall be

considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original,

not a facsimile or pdf (or other electronic reproduction of a) signature.

8.15 Entire

Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements (including all schedules and exhibits hereto and thereto),

together with any side letter agreements with any of the Investors, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto respecting

the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations, understandings, representations and statements

respecting the subject matter of this Agreement, whether written or oral. No amendment, modification, alteration, or change in any of

the terms of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the parties hereto unless made in writing and duly executed by the Company

and the Investors of at least a majority in interest of the Securities then held by the Investors, provided that prior to the Milestone

Closing the consent of all Investors shall be required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) this Agreement may not be amended and the

observance of any term of this Agreement may not be waived with respect to any Investor without the written consent of such Investor

unless such amendment or waiver applies to all Investors in the same fashion and (ii) any amendment to Section 2.1, Section

2.2, Section 5.5, Section 5.9, Section 6.1, Section 7.1 or this Section 8.15 shall require the

consent of each Investor. The Company, on the one hand, and each Investor, on the other hand, may by an instrument signed in writing

by such parties waive the performance, compliance or satisfaction by such Investor or the Company, respectively, with any term or provision

of this Agreement or any condition hereto to be performed, complied with or satisfied by such Investor or the Company, respectively.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, no amendment, modification, alteration, change or waiver of this

Section 8.15 shall be valid without the prior written consent of the Placement Agents, which consent may be granted or withheld

in the sole discretion of the Placement Agents.

8.16 Survival.

The covenants, representations and warranties made by each party hereto contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the

delivery of the Securities in accordance with their respective terms. Each Investor shall be responsible only for its own representations,

warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

2. REGISTRATION.

(a) Mandatory

Registration. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than ninety (90) calendar days after

the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), prepare and file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement (the “Initial

Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all Registrable Securities; provided, however, if Cy Biopharma has not delivered

the financial statements required to be included in the Initial Registration Statement pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC

to Company by seventy-five (75) days after closing of the Merger, such Filing Deadline shall be extended by one calendar day for each

day that Cy Biopharma has not delivered such financial statements. Before filing the Registration Statement, the Company shall furnish

to the Investors a copy of the Registration Statement. The Investors and their counsel shall have at least three (3) Business Days prior

to the anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement to review and comment upon such Registration Statement and any amendment or

supplement to such Registration Statement and any related Prospectus, prior to its filing with the SEC. Subject to any SEC comments,

such Registration Statement shall include the plan of distribution substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Such

Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including

Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions

with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such Registration Statement shall not include any shares of Common Stock or other securities

for the account of any other holder of securities of the Company without the prior written consent of the Required Investors; provided,

however, that such Registration Statement may also include the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred

Stock issued to the equityholders of Cy Biopharma pursuant to the Merger Agreement without the need to obtain prior written consent of

the Required Investors. The Company shall (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to address in each such document prior to being so

filed with the SEC such reasonable comments as the Investor or its counsel reasonably proposed by the Investor, and (b) not file any

Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto containing information regarding the Investor to which Investor

reasonably objects, unless such information is required to comply with any applicable law or regulation. The Investors shall furnish

all information reasonably requested by the Company and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration referred

to in this Agreement.

(b) Effectiveness.

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement and any amendment declared effective

by the SEC at the earliest possible date but no later than the earlier of (1) the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following

the initial filing date of the Initial Registration Statement if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Initial

Registration Statement, (2) the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever

is earlier) by the SEC that the Initial Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review

(the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, however that (i) any Business Day that the SEC is not open because of a

shutdown of the government or otherwise shall not count against the ninety (90) calendar day period and (ii) if Cy Biopharma has not

delivered the financial statements required to be included in the Initial Registration Statement pursuant to the rules and regulations

of the SEC to Company by seventy-five (75) days after closing of the Merger, such Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by one calendar

day for each day that Cy Biopharma has not delivered such financial statements. The Company shall notify the Investors by e-mail as promptly

as practicable, and in any event, within 24 hours, after the Registration Statement is declared effective or is supplemented and shall

provide the Investors with copies of any Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered

thereby. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Initial Registration Statement continuously effective pursuant

to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and available for the resale by the Investors of all of the Registrable Securities covered

thereby at all times until the earliest to occur of the following events: (i) the date on which the Investors shall have resold all the

Registrable Securities covered thereby; and (ii) the date on which the Registrable Securities may be resold by the Investors without

registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company

to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar

effect (the “Registration Period”). The Initial Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto

and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required

to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

3

(c) Sufficient

Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under the Initial Registration Statement at any time is

insufficient to cover the Registrable Securities, the Company shall, to the extent necessary and permissible, use its commercially reasonable

efforts to amend the Initial Registration Statement or file a new registration statement (together with any prospectuses or prospectus

supplements thereunder, a “New Registration Statement”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities as soon

as reasonably practicable, but in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after the necessity therefor arises (the “New

Registration Filing Deadline”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such amendment and/or New

Registration Statement become effective as soon as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof but no later than the earlier

of the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the initial filing date of the New Registration Statement if the SEC notifies

the Company that it will “review” the New Registration Statement and (b) the fifth (5th) Business Day after the

date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the New Registration Statement will not be

“reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (the earlier of such dates, the “New Registration Effectiveness

Deadline”). The provisions of Section 2(a) and (b) shall apply to the New Registration Statement, except as modified

hereby.

(d) Liquidated

Damages. If (i) the Initial Registration Statement has not been filed by the Filing Deadline, (ii) the Initial Registration Statement

has not been declared effective by the Effectiveness Deadline, (iii) the New Registration Statement has not been filed by the New Registration

Filing Deadline, (iv) the New Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the New Registration Effectiveness Deadline or

(v) after any Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement

for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a stop order, or the Company’s failure to update such Registration Statement),

but excluding any Allowed Delay (as defined below) or, if the Registration Statement is on Form S-1, for a period of 20 days following

the date on which the Company files a post-effective amendment to incorporate the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (a “Maintenance

Failure”), then the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor then holding Registrable Securities, as liquidated damages

and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount paid pursuant to the Purchase Agreement by such Investor for

such Registrable Securities then held by such Investor for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof during which the failure

continues (the “Blackout Period”), provided that no liquidated damages shall be payable (i) if as of the relevant date, the

Registrable Securities may be sold by the Investor without volume or manner of sale restrictions under Rule 144, as determined by counsel

to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and reasonably acceptable to the Investor and the Company’s

transfer agent (regardless of whether the restrictive legend has been actually removed from the certificates representing such Registrable

Securities), (ii) to an Investor in the event it is unable to lawfully sell any of its Registrable Securities because of possession of

material non-public information, (iii) if and to the extent to, despite best efforts by the Company to avoid a breach hereof, the Company’s

failure was caused by a government shutdown resulting in the SEC’s inability to review or declare effective the Registration Statement,

(iv) to an Investor causing an event that relates to or is caused by any action or inaction taken by such Investor, or (v) with respect

to any period after the expiration of the Registration Period. The Company shall not be liable for liquidated damages under this Agreement

as to any Registrable Securities which are not permitted by the SEC to be included in a Registration Statement due solely to SEC Guidance;

in such case, the liquidated damages shall be calculated to only apply to the percentage of Registrable Securities which are permitted

in accordance with SEC Guidance to be included in such Registration Statement. Such payments shall constitute the Investors’ exclusive

monetary remedy for such events, but shall not affect the right of the Investors to seek injunctive relief. The amounts payable as liquidated

damages pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid in cash no later than twenty (20) Business Days after each such 30-day period following

the commencement of the Blackout Period until the termination of the Blackout Period (the “Blackout Period Payment Date”).

Interest shall accrue at the rate of 0.5% per month (pro rated for any period less than a month) on any such liquidated damages payments

that shall not be paid by the Blackout Period Payment Date until such amount is paid in full. Notwithstanding the above, in no event

shall the aggregate amount of liquidated damages (or interest thereon) paid under this Agreement to any Investor exceed, in the aggregate,

5.0% of the aggregate purchase price of the Shares purchased by such Investor under the Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding anything

in this Section 2(d) to the contrary, during any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to

the registration of the Registrable Securities because any Investor fails to furnish information required to be provided pursuant to

Section 2(a) or Section 4(a) within three Business Days of the Company’s request, any liquidated damages that would otherwise accrue

as to such Investor only shall be tolled until such information is delivered to the Company. The Effectiveness Deadline or New Registration

Effectiveness Deadline, as applicable, shall be extended without default or liquidated damages hereunder in the event that the Company’s

failure to obtain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on a timely basis results from the failure of such Investor to timely

provide the Company with information requested by the Company and necessary to complete the Registration Statement.

4

(e) Allowable

Delays. On no more than two occasions and for not more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days or for a total of not more than

ninety (90) calendar days in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may delay the effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement

or any other Registration Statement, or suspend the use of any Prospectus, in the event that the Company or Board of Directors determines,

in good faith and upon advice of legal counsel, that such delay or suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of material non-public

information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best

interests of the Company or (B) amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such Registration

Statement or Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated

therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were

made, not misleading (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (a) notify each Investor in writing

of the commencement of an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of an Investor) disclose to such Investor any

material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Investors in writing to cease all sales under the applicable

Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as

promptly as practicable.

(f) Rule

415; Cut-back. If at any time the SEC takes the position that (1) the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in any

Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 (provided, however,

the Company shall be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all of the Registrable

Securities) or (2) certain Registrable Securities cannot be registered until stockholder approval has been obtained, or the SEC requires

any Investor to be named as an “underwriter,” the Company shall (i) promptly notify each holder of Registrable Securities

thereof and (ii) make commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement

is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of

the Investors is an “underwriter.” The Investors shall have the right to select one legal counsel, which counsel shall be

selected by the Required Investors, to review and oversee any registration or matters pursuant to this Section 2(f), including

participation in any meetings or discussions with the SEC regarding the SEC’s position and to comment on any written submission

made to the SEC with respect thereto. No such written submission with respect to this matter shall be made to the SEC to which any Investor’s

counsel reasonably objects. In the event that, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts and compliance with the terms

of this Section 2(f), the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from such Registration Statement such

portion of the Registrable Securities and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable

Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC

Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Company shall not name any Investor as an “underwriter” in such Registration

Statement without the prior written consent of such Investor (provided that, in the event an Investor withholds such consent, the Company

shall have no obligation hereunder to include any Registrable Securities of such Investor in any Registration Statement covering the

resale thereof until such time as the SEC no longer requires such Investor to be named as an “underwriter” in such Registration

Statement or such Investor otherwise consents in writing to being so named). Any cut-back imposed on the Investors pursuant to this Section

2(f) shall be allocated among the Investors on a pro rata basis and shall be applied first to any of the Registrable Securities of

such Investor as such Investor shall designate, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or provide or the Investors otherwise agree.

3. RELATED COMPANY

OBLIGATIONS.

With

respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be Registered pursuant to Section 2, including

on the Initial Registration Statement or on any New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable 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) Notifications.

The Company will promptly notify the Investors of the time when any subsequent amendment to the Initial Registration Statement or any

New Registration Statement, other than documents incorporated by reference, has been filed with the SEC and/or has become effective or

where a receipt has been issued therefor or any subsequent supplement to a Prospectus has been filed and of any request by the SEC for

any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any Prospectus or for additional information.

5

(b) Amendments.

The Company will prepare and file with the SEC any amendments, post-effective amendments or supplements to the Initial Registration Statement,

any New Registration Statement or any Prospectus, as applicable, that, (a) as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective

for the Registration Period and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the distribution

of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby, or (b) in the reasonable opinion of the Investors and the Company, as may be necessary

or advisable in connection with any acquisition or sale of Registrable Securities by the Investors.

(c) Investor

Review. The Company will not file any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any

Prospectus, other than documents incorporated by reference, relating to the Investors, the Registrable Securities or the transactions

contemplated hereby unless (A) the Investors and their counsel shall have been advised and afforded the opportunity to review and comment

thereon at least three (3) Business Days prior to filing with the SEC and (B) the Company shall have given reasonable due consideration

to any comments thereon received from the Investors or their counsel.

(d) Copies

Available. The Company will furnish to any Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement and its

counsel copies of the Initial Registration Statement, any Prospectus thereunder (including all documents incorporated by reference therein),

any Prospectus supplement thereunder, any New Registration Statement and all amendments to the Initial Registration Statement or any

New Registration Statement that are filed with the SEC during the Registration Period (including all documents filed with or furnished

to the SEC during such period that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein), each letter written by or on behalf of the Company

to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such

Registration Statement (other than any portion thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment)

and such other documents as Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition

of the Registrable Securities owned by Investor that are covered by such Registration Statement, in each case as soon as reasonably

practicable upon such Investor’s request and in such quantities as such Investor may from time to time reasonably request; provided,

however, that the Company shall not be required to furnish any document to the Investor to the extent such document is available on EDGAR.

(e) Notification

of Stop Orders; Material Changes. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order

or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order as soon as practicable.

The Company shall advise the Investors promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) and shall confirm such advice in

writing, in each case: (A) of the Company’s receipt of notice of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental

authority for amendment of or a supplement to the Registration Statement or any Prospectus or for any additional information; (B) of

the Company’s receipt of notice of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order

suspending the effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement or prohibiting or suspending the use of any Prospectus or Prospectus

supplement, or any New Registration Statement, or of the Company’s receipt of any notification of the suspension of qualification

of the Registrable Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or contemplated initiation of any proceeding

for such purpose; and (C) of the Company becoming aware of the happening of any event, which makes any statement of a material fact made

in any Registration Statement or any Prospectus untrue or which requires the making of any additions to or changes to the statements

then made in any Registration Statement or any Prospectus in order to state a material fact required by the Securities Act to be stated

therein or necessary in order to make the statements then made therein (in the case of any Prospectus, in light of the circumstances

under which they were made) not misleading, or of the necessity to amend any Registration Statement or any Prospectus to comply with

the Securities Act or any other law. The Company shall not be required to disclose to the Investors (and shall not so disclose to any

Investor without such Investor’s prior written consent) the substance of specific reasons of any of the events set forth in clauses

(A) to (C) of the immediately preceding sentence (each, a “Suspension Event”), but rather, shall only be

required to disclose that the event has occurred; provided that the Company shall not provide any material non-public information to

the Investors in such notice.. If at any time the SEC, or any other federal or state governmental authority shall issue any stop order

suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or prohibiting or suspending the use of any Prospectus or Prospectus supplement,

the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest practicable time. The

Company shall furnish to the Investors, without charge, a copy of any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, or any other

federal or state governmental authority to the Company or its representatives relating to the Initial Registration Statement, any New

Registration Statement or any Prospectus, or Prospectus supplement as the case may be. In the event of a Suspension Event set forth in

clause (C) of the first sentence of this Section 3(e), the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to publicly

disclose such event as soon as reasonably practicable, or otherwise resolve the matter such that sales under Registration Statements

may resume; provided, however, that if the Company has a bona fide business purpose for not making such information public, the Company

may suspend the use of all Registration Statements for up to sixty (60) consecutive calendar days; provided, further, that the Company

may not suspend the use of all Registration Statements more than twice, or for more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case

during any twelve (12)-month period. The Company shall not provide any specific information regarding the Suspension Event unless requested

by the Investor, which in any event shall not include any material nonpublic information unless such specific information constitutes

material non-public information.

6

(f) Confirmation

of Effectiveness. If reasonably requested by an Investor at any time in respect of any Registration Statement, the Company shall

deliver to such Investor a written confirmation (email being sufficient) from Company’s counsel of 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 such Registration Statement is currently effective and available to the Company for sale of Registrable Securities.

(g) Listing.

The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on

the Nasdaq Capital Market.

(h) Compliance.

The Company shall otherwise use best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the Securities Act

and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172, file any final prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof,

with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424, promptly inform the Investor in writing if, at any time during the Registration Period, the Company

does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Investor is required to deliver a prospectus in connection

with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration

of the Registrable Securities hereunder, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later

than the Availability Date (as defined below), an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve (12) months, beginning after

the effective date of each Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities

Act, including Rule 158 promulgated thereunder (for the purpose of this Section 3(h), “Availability Date” means

the forty-fifth (45th) calendar day following the end of the fourth (4th) fiscal quarter that includes the effective

date of such Registration Statement, except that, if such fourth (4th) fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the Company’s

fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the ninetieth (90th) calendar day after the end of such fourth (4th)

fiscal quarter).

(i) Blue-Sky.

The Company shall register or qualify or cooperate with the Investor and their counsel in connection with the registration or qualification

of such Registrable Securities for the offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions reasonably requested

by the Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify

to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(i), (ii) subject

itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be so subject but for this Section 3(i), or (iii)

file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

7

(j) Rule

144. With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation

of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell shares of Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company covenants

and agrees to: use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) make and keep adequate current public information available, as those terms

are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) six (6) months after such date as all of the Registrable Securities

may be sold without restriction by the holders thereof pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as there

are no longer Registrable Securities; and (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company

under the Exchange Act; (iii) furnish electronically to each Investor upon request, as long as such Investor owns any Registrable Securities,

(A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, (B) a copy of or electronic

access to the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information

as may be reasonably requested in order to avail such Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such

Registrable Securities without registration.

(k) Cooperation.

The Company shall cooperate with the holders of the Registrable Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates

or uncertificated shares representing the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such Registration Statement or Rule 144 free

of any restrictive legends and representing such number of shares of Common Stock and registered in such names as the holders of the

Registrable Securities may reasonably request to the extent permitted by such Registration Statement or Rule 144 to effect sales of Registrable

Securities; for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may satisfy its obligations hereunder without issuing physical stock certificates

through the use of The Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System.

(l) Removal

of Restrictive Legends. Without limiting Section 5.5 of the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause

the Company’s transfer agent to remove any restrictive legend from any Registrable Securities, as promptly as practicable following

effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement, without any request for removal being required from any holder of Registrable

Securities.

4. OBLIGATIONS OF

THE INVESTORS.

(a) Investor

Information. Each Investor shall provide a completed Investor Questionnaire in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B in connection

with the registration of the Registrable Securities. If the Company has not received such completed Questionnaire from an Investor within

three (3) Business Days of the Company’s request, the Company may file the Registration Statement without including such Investor’s

Registrable Securities.

(b) Suspension

of Sales. Each Investor, severally and not jointly with any other Investor, agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company

of the existence of an Allowed Delay or a Suspension Event as set forth in Section 2(d) and Section 3(e), the Investor

will promptly discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities

until the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company confirming the resolution of such Allowed Delay or Suspension Event and

that such dispositions may again be made; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Investor

to sell or otherwise dispose of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 or any other exemption from the registration requirements

of the Securities Act or to settle a transaction pursuant to a Registration Statement as to which a contract for such sale was entered

into prior to such Investor’s receipt of the notice from the Company of the existence of the Allowed Delay or Suspension Event.

(c) Investor

Cooperation. Each Investor, severally and not jointly with any other Investor, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably

requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any amendments and supplements to any Registration Statement

or New Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its

Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

8

5. EXPENSES

OF REGISTRATION.

All

Registration Expenses incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne by the Company. All Selling

Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Investors shall be borne by the Investors pro rata on the basis of the number

of Registrable Securities so registered.

6. INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) To

the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investors, each Person,

if any, who controls the Investors, the members, the directors, officers, partners, employees, members, managers, agents, representatives

and advisors of the Investors and each Person, if any, who controls the Investors within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange

Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, obligation, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies,

judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, court costs and costs of preparation), reasonable and documented

attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or reasonable and documented expenses (collectively, “Claims”) reasonably

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 or 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 or omission or alleged omission of any material fact contained in

any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or (ii) any violation

or alleged violation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any other state securities or other

“blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder

applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration

of the Registrable Securities (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being, collectively, “Violations”).

The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable

out-of-pocket legal fees or other reasonable and documented 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):

(A) 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 furnished in writing to the Company by the Investors or such Indemnified Person specifically for use in such

Registration Statement or prospectus and was reviewed and approved in writing by such Investor or such Indemnified Person expressly for

use in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, any prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto,

in each case if the foregoing was timely made available by the Company; (B) 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 other Indemnified 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, and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised

in writing not to use the outdated, defective or incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a Violation; (C) 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, conditioned or delayed. 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 Investor pursuant

to Section 8.

9

(b) In

connection with the Initial Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any prospectus, the Investors, severally and not

jointly, agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Initial

Registration Statement or signs any New Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the

Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities

and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that

such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information about an Investor furnished in writing by such Investor to

the Company and reviewed and approved in writing by such Investor or such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the

preparation of the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement, any prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement

thereto. In no event shall the liability of an Investor be greater in amount than the U.S. dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all

expense paid by such Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such Investor

has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable

Securities included in such Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(b), shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any

Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,

conditioned or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of

such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by any Investor pursuant to Section 8.

(c) 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 party with an indemnification obligation under this Section 6 (an “Indemnifying

Party”), 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, and upon such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person

or the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party in

connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (together with all other Indemnified

Persons and Indemnified Parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one counsel with

the reasonable 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 a material conflict of interest being likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying

Party or any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying

Party in writing that the Indemnified Party elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying

Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel

shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate 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 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 effected

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 unless such judgment or settlement (i) imposes no liability or obligation on, (ii) includes

as an unconditional term thereof the giving of a complete, explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such indemnified

claims of all liability of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person in respect to or arising out of such claim or litigation in favor

of, and (iii) does not include any admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing or malfeasance by or on behalf of, the Indemnified Party

or Indemnified Person. 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.

10

(d) 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. Any Person receiving a payment pursuant to this Section

6 which person is later determined to not be entitled to such payment shall return all such payments (including reimbursement of

expenses) to the person making it.

(e) 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.

If

the indemnification under Section 6 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless

for any damages, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion

as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements

or omissions that resulted in such damages as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying

Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue

or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates

to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to

information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result

of any damages shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or

other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified

for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

The

parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro

rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the

immediately preceding paragraph. In no event shall the contribution obligation of an Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount

of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 7 and the amount

of any damages such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged

omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

8. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION

RIGHTS.

The

Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the

prior written consent of the Required Investors; provided, however, that in any transaction, whether by merger, reorganization, restructuring,

consolidation, financing or otherwise, whereby the Company is a party and in which the Registrable Securities are converted into the

equity securities of another Person, from and after the effective time of such transaction, such Person shall, by virtue of such transaction,

be deemed to have assumed the obligations of the Company hereunder, the term “Company” shall be deemed to refer to such Person

and the term “Registrable Securities” shall be deemed to include the securities received by the Investor in connection with

such transaction unless such securities are otherwise freely tradable by the Investor after giving effect to such transaction, and the

prior written consent of the Required Investors shall not be required for such transaction. An Investor may transfer or assign its rights

hereunder, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more Persons in connection with the transfer of not fewer than 75,000 (subject

to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization) Registrable

Securities by such Investor to such Person, provided that such Investor complies with all laws applicable thereto, and the provisions

of the Purchase Agreement, and provides written notice of assignment to the Company promptly after such assignment is effected, and such

Person agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon

and inure to the benefit of the Investor and its successors and permitted assigns.

11

9. AMENDMENTS AND

WAIVERS.

The

provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 9, may be amended, modified or supplemented, or waived

only by a written instrument executed by (i) the Company and (ii) the Required Investors, provided that (1) any party may give a waiver

as to itself, (2) any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver that disproportionately and adversely affects the rights and obligations

of any Investor relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Investors shall require the prior written consent of such

adversely affected Investor or each Investor, as applicable, and (3) any amendments to Section 6 or to the definitions of “Filing

Deadline,” “Effectiveness Deadline,” or “Registration Period” shall require the written consent of each

Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates

exclusively to the rights of one or more Investors and that does not adversely directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Investors

may be given by Investors holding all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates.

10. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Notices.

Any notices or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be given (a)

2.

Registration Rights. The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

2.1

Registration Statement Filing.

(a)

The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date

(the “Filing Deadline”), prepare and file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement (the “Initial Registration

Statement”) covering the resale of all Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to

Rule 415; provided, however, if Cy Biopharma has not delivered the financial statements required to be included in the Initial Registration

Statement pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC to the Company by seventy-five (75) days after closing of the Merger, such

Filing Deadline shall be extended by one calendar day for each day that Cy Biopharma has not delivered such financial statements. The

Initial Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is then ineligible to register for resale the Registrable

Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable

Securities as a secondary offering) subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(e). Notwithstanding the registration obligations

set forth in this Section 2.1, in the event the SEC informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result

of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees

to promptly (i) inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration

Statement as required by the SEC and/or (ii) withdraw the Initial Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New

Registration Statement”), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by

the SEC, on Form S-3 or, if the Company is ineligible to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, such other form available to

register for resale the Registrable Securities for sale by the Holders; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment

or New Registration Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the SEC for

the registration of all of the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering in accordance with the SEC Guidance. Notwithstanding any

other provision of this Agreement, if the SEC or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted

to be registered on a particular registration statement (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with

the SEC for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder

as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such registration statement will be reduced

in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder, subject to a determination by

the SEC that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders. In the event of

a cutback hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing as soon as practicable, and in any event within (1) Business Day

of such determination, together with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment. In the event the Company amends the Initial

Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will

use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC or SEC Guidance provided to the Company

or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register

for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended, or the

New Registration Statement (the “Remainder Registration Statements”). No Holder shall be named as an “underwriter”

in any registration statement without such Holder’s prior written consent.

3

(b)

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement and any amendment declared effective

by the SEC at the earliest possible date but no later than the earlier of (1) the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the initial

filing date of the Initial Registration Statement if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Initial Registration

Statement, (2) the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the

SEC that the Initial Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (the “Effectiveness

Deadline”); provided, however that any Business Day that the SEC is not open because of a shutdown of the government or otherwise

shall not count against the ninety (90) calendar day period. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Initial

Registration Statement continuously effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and available for the resale

by the Holders of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby at all times until the earliest to occur of the following events:

(i) the date on which the Holders shall have resold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby; and (ii) the date on which the Registrable

Securities may be resold by the Holders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason

of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144

under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall request

effectiveness of a registration statement as of 4:00 P.M. New York City time on a Business Day. The Company shall promptly notify the

Holders via e-mail of the effectiveness of a registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto on the same Business Day

that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the SEC, which date of confirmation shall initially be the date requested

for effectiveness of such registration statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 A.M. New York City time on the first Business Day after

the Effective Date, file a final prospectus with the SEC, as required by Rule 424(b) and shall provide the Holders with copies of the

final prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby. The Company shall promptly

inform each Holder in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified

in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Holder is required to deliver a prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable

Securities.

(c)

On no more than two occasions and for not more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days or for a total of not more than ninety (90)

calendar days in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may delay the effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement or any other

Registration Statement, or suspend the use of any prospectus, in the event that the Company or Board of Directors determines, in good

faith and upon advice of legal counsel, that such delay or suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of material non-public

information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best

interests of the Company or (B) amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related prospectus so that such Registration

Statement or prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated

therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were

made, not misleading (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (a) notify each Holder in writing

of the commencement of an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of an Investor) disclose to such Investor any

material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Holders in writing to cease all sales under the applicable

Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as

promptly as practicable.

4

(d)

Each Holder of Registrable Securities to be sold agrees to furnish to the Company a completed form of questionnaire in the form attached

hereto as Exhibit A, or equivalent information, provided to the Company in connection with the preparation of a registration statement

(the “Selling Shareholder Questionnaire”) not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date

of such registration statement. Each Holder further agrees that it shall not be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the

registration statement or use the prospectus for offers and resales of Registrable Securities at any time, unless such Holder has provided

such information to the Company and responded to any reasonable requests for further information. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees

that the information in the Selling Shareholder Questionnaire or any request for further information as described in this Section

2.1(d) will be used by the Company in the preparation of the registration statement and hereby consents to the inclusion of such

information in the registration statement (subject to such Holder’s right to timely review the registration statement as set forth

herein).

(e) In

the event that Form S-3 ceases to be available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall

(i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Holders and (ii) undertake

to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 promptly after such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain

the effectiveness of the registration statement then in effect until such time as a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable

Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

(f)

Registrations effected by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall not be counted as demand registrations effected pursuant

to Section 2.2 hereof.

2.2

Demand Registration.

(a)

Form S-1 Demand. If, at any time after February 1, 2027, the Company is not eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement

and the Company receives a request from Holders of at least forty percent (40%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, then

the Company shall file a Form S-1 registration statement with respect to at least forty percent (40%) of the Registrable Securities then

outstanding as further described below. In such case, the Company shall (x) within five (5) days after the date such request is given,

give notice thereof (the “Demand Notice”) to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders (if any); and (y) as soon

as practicable, and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form

S-1 registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders requested

to be registered and, if applicable, any additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other

Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within ten (10) days of the date the Demand Notice is given

and, in each case, subject to the limitations of Sections 2.2(c) and 2.4. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable

efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable after filing, but no later than the earlier of

(i) forty-five (45) calendar days after the filing of such registration statement (or seventy-five (75) calendar days after the filing

of such registration statement if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” such registration statement) and (ii)

five (5) Business Days after the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such registration statement

will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review.

5

(b)

Form S-3 Demand. If, at any time after February 1, 2027, the Company is eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement and

the Company receives a request from Holders of at least thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, then the

Company shall file a Form S-3 registration statement with respect to outstanding Registrable Securities of such Holders having an anticipated

aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, of at least $20,000,000 as further described below. In such case, the Company shall

(i) within five (5) days after the date such request is given, give a Demand Notice to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders

(if any); and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within fifteen (15) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating

Holders, file a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of all Registrable Securities that the Initiating

Holders requested to be registered and, if applicable, any additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration

by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within five (5) days of the date the Demand Notice

is given and, in each case, subject to the limitations of Sections 2.2(c) and 2.4. The Company shall use its commercially

reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable after filing, but no later than the

earlier of (i) thirty (30) calendar days after the filing of such registration statement (or forty-five (45) calendar days after the

filing of such registration statement if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” such registration statement)

and (ii) five (5) Business Days after the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such registration

statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to Holders requesting a registration pursuant to this Section

2.2 a certificate signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of

Directors, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to either become effective

or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action would

(i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction involving the Company;

(ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential;

or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, then the Company shall have

the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than forty-five (45) days after the request of

the Initiating Holders is given; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than twice in any twelve (12)

month period.

(d)

The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (i)

after the Company has effected three (3) registrations pursuant to Section 2.2(a); or (ii) if the Initiating Holders propose to

dispose of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.2(b).

The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.2(b) (i)

if the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to Section 2.2(b) within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding

the date of such request.

6

(e)

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.2 or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration pursuant to Section 2.2(a)

or (b) shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the registration statement filed with the SEC with respect to a

Registration pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or (b) has been declared effective by the SEC and remains effective for not less

than 180 days (or such shorter period as shall terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have

been sold or withdrawn), or if such registration statement relates to an underwritten offering, such longer period as, in the opinion

of counsel for the managing underwriter, a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of Registrable Securities

by an underwriter or dealer and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto;

provided, further, however, that if, after such registration statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable

Securities in a Registration pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or (b) is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction

of the SEC, federal or state court or any other governmental agency, the registration statement with respect to such Registration shall

be deemed not to have been declared effective unless and until (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated,

and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Initiating Holders initiating such request for registration under Section 2.2(a) or (b)

thereafter affirmatively elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no event later

than five (5) days, of such election.

2.3

Company Registration. If the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company

for stockholders of the Company other than the Holders) any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public

offering of such securities solely for cash, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders

of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such registration

statement, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s)

of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter(s), if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders

of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in

writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”).

Upon the request of each Holder the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.4, cause to be registered all of the

Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate

or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.3 before the effective date of such registration, whether or

not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such

withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.7. Any Registration effected pursuant to this

Section 2.3 shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a demand registration effected under Section 2.2 hereof,

and there shall be no limit on the number of Piggyback Registrations.

7

2.4

Underwriting Requirements.

(a)

If, pursuant to Section 2.2, the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by

means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 2.2, and the Company

shall include such information in the Demand Notice. The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable

Securities to be included in such underwritten offering and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. The right of any Holder to

include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in

such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.

All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section

2.5(d)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding

any other provision of this Section 2.4, if the underwriter(s) advise(s) the Initiating Holders in writing that the dollar amount

or number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that

can be sold in the underwritten offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method,

or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum

Number of Securities”), then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that otherwise would be underwritten

pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated as follows: (i)

first, the Registrable Securities of each participating Holder, if any, that has requested in writing to be included in such underwritten

offering in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Holder or in such other

proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

(ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), Common Stock or

other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii)

third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), Common Stock

or other equity securities of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to separate

written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

(b)

In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to Section 2.2,

the Company shall not be required to include any of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Holders

accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters.

(c)

If the underwriter(s) in an underwritten offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advise the Company and the Holders

of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of equity securities

that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) Common Stock and other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration

has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable

Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or

(b) hereof, and (iii) Common Stock and other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to

separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities,

then

8

(i)

If the Registration is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first,

Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of

Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the

Registrable Securities of all Holders who have requested in writing to be included in such Piggyback Registration, in proportion (as

nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder or in such other proportion as shall mutually be

agreed to by all such selling Holders that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the

extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), Common Stock and equity

securities, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of

other shareholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

(ii)

If the Registration is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the

Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting

persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of

Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the

Registrable Securities of all Holders who have requested in writing to be included in such Piggyback Registration, in proportion (as

nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder or in such other proportion as shall mutually be

agreed to by all such selling Holders that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent

that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), Common Stock or other equity

securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth,

to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), Common Stock

or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to

separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of

Securities.

For

the purposes of the provisions in Section 2.1, and 2.4(a), (b) and (c) concerning apportionment, for any

selling Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members,

stockholders and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and Immediate Family Members of any such partners, retired partners, members

and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,”

and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate number of Registrable

Securities owned by all Persons included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

2.5

Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities,

the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

offering.

In

addition, the Company shall ensure that, at all times after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the

Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, its insider trading policy shall provide that the Company’s directors

may implement a trading program under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.

2.6

Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section

2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information

regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required

to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

2.7

Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications

with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.), fees of the securities exchange on which Common Stock is then listed and any

other qualification fees; printers’ and accounting fees; fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; and the reasonable

fees and disbursements, not to exceed $25,000, of one counsel for the selling Holders (“Selling Holder Counsel”),

shall be borne and paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any

registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.2 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of

the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all selling Holders shall bear such expenses

pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless the Holders

of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Sections 2.2(a) or 2.2(b),

as the case may be; provided further that if, at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders shall have learned of a material adverse

change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn

the request with reasonable promptness after learning of such information, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such

expenses and shall not forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Sections 2.2(a) or 2.2(b), as the case may be.

All Selling Expenses set forth in clause (a) of the definition of Selling Expenses, relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant

to this Section 2, shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered

on their behalf. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.7 shall survive the completion of any offering

of Registrable Securities in a Registration under this Section 2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11

2.8

Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration

pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of

this Section 2.

2.9

Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2:

(a)

To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder, and the partners, members, directors,

officers and stockholders of each such Holder; legal counsel and accountants for each such Holder; any underwriter (as defined in the

Securities Act) for each such Holder; and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities

Act or the Exchange Act, against any Damages, and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person or other

aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim

or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained

in this Section 2.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected

without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages

to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information

furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection

with such registration.

(b)

To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each

of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Company within

the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act),

any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement, and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder,

against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance

upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with

such registration; and each such selling Holder will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses

reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such

expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(b) shall not

apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder,

which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any

Holder by way of indemnity or contribution under Sections 2.9(b) and 2.9(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received

by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.

12

(c)

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any

governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect

thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.9, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement

thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires,

participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel

mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties

that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses

to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would

be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such

counsel in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such

action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.9, to the extent that

such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying

party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.9.

(d)

To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (i) any party

otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.9 but it is judicially

determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the

denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Section

2.9 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party

hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section 2.9, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute

to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such

proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection

with the statements, omissions or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as well as to reflect

any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined

by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged

omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’

relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however,

that, in any such case (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable

Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation

(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such

fraudulent misrepresentation; provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 2.9(d),

when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.9(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering

received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such

Holder.

(e)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in an underwriting agreement

entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in such

underwriting agreement shall control.

13

(f)

Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering, the obligations

of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a

registration under this Section 2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

2.10

Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting

company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace

period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act

and to, upon request, promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants that

it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder

to sell Registrable Securities held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions

provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the SEC), including using

commercially reasonable efforts to provide any legal opinions (including any opinion of outside counsel to the Company), instruction

letters and certificates to the Company’s transfer agent (i) in connection with a sale of such Holder’s Registrable Securities

in compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable and legally permissible to do so, removing

any restrictive legends from such Holder’s Registrable Securities and facilitating the transfer of such securities to a brokerage

account. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer

as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

2.11

“Market Stand-off” Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the

managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the registration by the Company for

its own behalf, in connection with an underwritten offering, of shares of its Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable

or exchangeable for Common Stock under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3, and ending on the date

specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed ninety (90) days), (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract

to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase;

or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable

or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Common Stock (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the Holder or

are thereafter acquired) or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the

economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled

by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise, subject to exceptions to be agreed in connection with the applicable

underwritten offering. The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section

2.11 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Holder

further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that

are consistent with this Section 2.11, or that are necessary to give further effect thereto, or that are customary under the circumstances.

Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Company or the underwriters shall

apply pro rata to all Company stockholders that are subject to such agreements, based on the number of shares subject to such agreements.

2.12

Limitations on Registration Rights. As of the date hereof, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has entered into any

agreement with respect to its securities that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement

or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities

which is inconsistent with or violates the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement and in the event

of any conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

14

3.

Miscellaneous.

3.1

Successors and Assigns. The rights under this Agreement may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to

a transferee of Registrable Securities that (i) is an Affiliate of a Holder; (ii) is a Holder’s Immediate Family Member or trust

for the benefit of an individual Holder or one or more of such Holder’s Immediate Family Members; or (iii) after such transfer,

holds at least 100,000 shares of Registrable Securities (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations,

and other recapitalizations); provided, however, that (x) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer,

furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee and the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights

are being transferred; and (y) such transferee agrees in a written instrument delivered to the Company to be bound by and subject to

the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the provisions of Section 2.11. For the purposes of determining the number

of Registrable Securities held by a transferee, the holdings of a transferee (1) that is an Affiliate or stockholder of a Holder; (2)

who is a Holder’s Immediate Family Member; or (3) that is a trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or such Holder’s

Immediate Family Member shall be aggregated together and with those of the transferring Holder; provided further that all transferees

who would not qualify individually for assignment of rights shall, as a condition to the applicable transfer, establish a single attorney-in-fact

for the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving notices, or taking any action under this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this

Agreement inure to the benefit of and are binding upon the respective successors and permitted assignees of the parties. Nothing in this

Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and

permitted assignees any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided

herein.

any successor thereto) at the e-mail address set forth below the Holder’s name on the signature page hereto, as updated from time

to time by notice to the Company. To the extent that any notice given by means of e-mail is returned or undeliverable for any reason,

the foregoing consent shall be deemed to have been revoked until a new or corrected e-mail address has been provided, and such attempted

electronic notice shall be ineffective and deemed to not have been given. Each party agrees to promptly notify the other parties of any

change in its e-mail address, and that failure to do so shall not affect the foregoing.

3.6

Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended, modified or terminated and the observance of any term of this

consent of the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding; provided that any provision

hereof may be waived by a Holder of Registrable Securities on such party’s own behalf, without the consent of any other party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) this Agreement may not be amended, modified or terminated and the observance of any term hereof may

not be waived with respect to any Holder without the written consent of such Holder, unless such amendment, modification, termination,

or waiver applies to all Holders in the same fashion. Any amendment, modification, termination, or waiver effected in accordance with

this Section 3.6 shall be binding on all parties hereto, regardless of whether any such party has consented thereto. No waivers

of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed

as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.

3.7

Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule

of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so

long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any

party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto

shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a

mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest

extent possible.

3.8

Aggregation of Stock. All Registrable Securities held or acquired by Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of

determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement and such Affiliates may apportion such rights as among themselves in

any manner they deem appropriate.

16

3.9

Confidentiality. Pending any required public disclosure and subject to applicable legal requirements, the parties will maintain

appropriate confidentiality of their discussions and any notifications regarding a prospective Registration or offering of Registrable

Securities.

3.10

Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any Schedules and Exhibits hereto) constitutes the full and entire understanding and

agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject

matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled.

3.11

Dispute Resolution. In any action of proceeding between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each

of the parties (a) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of

Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District

Court for the District of Delaware or, to the extent that neither of the foregoing courts has jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the

State of Delaware; (b) agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined exclusively in accordance

with clause (a) of this Section 3.11, and (c) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise,

in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that

its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum,

that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced

in or by such court.

Waiver

upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such nonbreaching

or nondefaulting party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence to any such breach or default, or to any similar

breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or

default theretofore or thereafter occurring. All remedies, whether under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party,

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION AGREEMENT

This

(the “Company”) and 3i, LP (“3i” and together with the Company, the “Parties”),

whose signatures are set forth on the signature pages hereto.

RECITALS

WHEREAS,

the Company wishes to acquire 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Cy Biopharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its

subsidiaries, “Target”) for shares of common stock, par value $.0001 (“Common Stock”) and Series

C Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 (“Series C Preferred Stock”) of the Company (the “Transaction”), with

the date and time that the Transaction occurs to be referred to as the “Closing” for purposes of this Termination;

WHEREAS,

as a condition to the Transaction, the parties to the Transaction require that all instruments and understandings governing the relationship

between the Company and 3i, with the exception of the agreements set forth below, be terminated; and

WHEREAS,

the Parties desire to satisfy that condition for the Transaction to occur.

NOW,

THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Termination.

Subject to Section 2, the Parties hereby agree:

(a)

to terminate all continuing requirements under all agreements and understandings between the Company, subsidiaries of the Company

and 3i, including, but not limited to, those referenced in the form attached as Exhibit A;

(b) that

the Company is authorized and granted power of attorney to terminate all existing liens, security interests and guarantees held by 3i,

including those held through Patent Security Agreements filed with the Patent and Trademark Office under 35 U.S.C. Section 261 and Security

Agreements and Subsidiary Guarantees recorded under the Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in any states where currently filed,

with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries that were granted beginning in 2021. 3i represents that it has not assigned any of its

rights with respect to the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries;

(c) that

this Termination constitutes a written consent without a meeting by 3i, voting separately as a single class, to amend the Certificate

of Designation of Series B preferred stock, par value $0.0001 of the Company (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) to eliminate

such certificate upon conversion or cancellation of such Series B Preferred Stock; and

(d) that

certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 13, 2025, between the Company and 3i, including without limitation, all rights that

3i has to purchase additional shares of Common Stock and warrants of the Company thereunder shall be cancelled. Provided, however, that

the Company shall use reasonable efforts to keep any existing registration statement covering existing Common Stock effective.

2. Consideration.

The Parties agree that the following shall apply:

(a) all

outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock owned by 3i and/or any affiliate, including shares issuable upon accrual of dividends

and otherwise, shall be converted into 3,229,276 shares of Common Stock, of which 910,905 shall be issued to 3i at Closing, and 2,318,371

shall be issued to a bona fide financial institution in an abeyance account at Closing;

(b)

all outstanding warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock, as set forth on Exhibit A, shall be converted into 7,182,517

shares of Series C Preferred Stock at an initial conversion ratio of Series C Preferred Stock to Common Stock of 1:1; provided further,

that if any additional rights are vested in the Series C Preferred Stock in the Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and

Target in the Transaction (the “Series C Preferred Agreement”), a similar right shall apply to the Series C Preferred

Stock issued hereunder.

extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such rights in contract or otherwise to such extent)

and the portion of such issuance shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of 3i until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would

Stock, upon issuance, shall be freely tradable and transferable and without restriction on resale, and (ii) cause its counsel to issue

a legal opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to 3i, to the effect that the shares of Common Stock converted may be

Exhibit 99.1

Ensysce

Biosciences Announces Acquisition of Cy Biopharma and up to $77 Million Private Financing

Acquisition

includes clinical-stage neuroplastogenic therapy with U.S. FDA Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

(CRPS)

$21.5

million in private placement financing at initial close plus $17.1 million of Cy Biopharma’s cash and cash equivalents from a pre-acquisition

convertible note financing and up to $38.6 million upon achievement of clinical trial milestone

Pro

forma cash expected to fund CY-200 through Phase 2 proof-of-concept data and into registrational development

SAN

DIEGO, CA, August 6, 2026 — Ensysce Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENSC) (“Ensysce” or the “Company”)

today announced it has completed the acquisition of Cy Biopharma, Inc. (“Cy Biopharma”), a privately held clinical-stage

biotechnology company developing novel neuroplastogenic therapies for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (“CRPS”). Concurrent

with the acquisition that brought in $17.1 million in cash from a pre-acquisition convertible note financing, Ensysce entered into a

definitive agreement for the sale of Series C non-voting convertible preferred stock (with a conversion ratio of preferred to common

at 1:1,000) (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) in a private placement financing, which is expected to result in gross proceeds

to the Company of approximately $21.5 million at the initial close before deducting placement agent fees and other offering and transaction

expenses, and includes up to a $38.6 million follow-on tranche that is expected to fund development of CY-200 into 2028.

The

private placement financing was led by Ally Bridge Group and included participation from Perceptive Advisors, Dellora Investments, Ikarian

Capital and Adage Capital Partners, L.P.

The

proceeds from the investment will support the advancement of CY-200 as a novel approach to treating CRPS Type 1, which has received U.S.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Orphan Drug Designation. The funds are expected to carry CY-200 through key clinical milestones, including

topline data from a randomized Phase 2 clinical trial assessing the efficacy, safety and tolerability of CY-200 for symptom alleviation

in participants with CRPS Type 1, and to prepare for registrational development. Importantly, the Company believes the Orphan Drug Designation

will provide critical regulatory and commercial advantages.

“Cy

Biopharma’s neuroplastogenic approach to CRPS was the most compelling opportunity we evaluated, and the Board of Directors of Ensysce

believes this acquisition represents a significant value creation opportunity for Ensysce stockholders. The clinical data supporting

CY-200 and Cy Biopharma’s approach to treating the devastating condition of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome reinforced our conviction

for this program. The concurrent private placement financing was intentionally sized to support Cy Biopharma’s immediate strategic

objectives while maintaining financial discipline, and allow Cy Biopharma to progress its lead candidate in a pain market valued over

$1 billion for which there is currently no approved therapy. Concurrently, Ensysce intends to continue progressing PF614-MPAR, which

represents what we believe is a fundamentally new approach to opioid safety, through its PF614-MPAR-102 study with the financial support

of the National Institute on Drug Abuse,” said Dr. Lynn Kirkpatrick, Chief Executive Officer of Ensysce.

CRPS

is among the most severe chronic pain disorders, with few effective treatment options and significant physical, psychological and socioeconomic

burden. Cy Biopharma has developed therapies designed to address the underlying neurobiology of CRPS rather than simply managing symptoms.

Cy Biopharma’s development strategy combines rigorous clinical science with an efficient regulatory pathway intended to accelerate

the delivery of innovative therapies to patients with significant unmet medical need.

“Our

mission has always been straightforward: to develop a therapy capable of meaningfully changing the lives of patients living with Complex

Regional Pain Syndrome,” said James Morrison, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cy Biopharma. “This transaction provides

the capital, public market platform and strategic flexibility to help us execute that mission. We believe the upcoming Phase 2 topline

data for CY-200 will demonstrate the potential of this approach for patients who today have no approved treatment option. Beyond CY-200,

our pipeline of differentiated new chemical entities is designed to increase stress resilience, strengthen descending pain control and

promote neuroplasticity. We believe we are entering the public markets at the point where clinical execution – not financing –

can be our primary near-term focus, and we are looking forward to an exciting second half of the year.”

Management

and Organization

Following

completion of the transaction, James Morrison, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cy Biopharma, will serve as President of the Company

and will join its Board of Directors.

About

the Acquisition and Private Placement Financing

The

acquisition is structured as a stock-for-stock merger, pursuant to which all outstanding equity interests of Cy Biopharma will be exchanged

based on a fixed exchange ratio for an aggregate of 282,122 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (representing 282,122,000 shares on an

as-converted-to-common basis and without giving effect to any beneficial ownership limitations). Concurrent with the acquisition, the

Company entered into a definitive agreement for a private placement financing to raise an aggregate of approximately $43 million in gross

proceeds over two tranches, in which the investors will be issued an aggregate of 120,260 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (representing

120,260,000 shares on an as-converted-to-common basis and without giving effect to any beneficial ownership limitations) at a price of

$321.79 per share (or $0.32179 per share on an as-converted basis) for the initial tranche of 66,811 shares of Series C Preferred Stock,

and a price of $402.24 per share (or $0.40224 per share on an as-converted basis) for the second tranche of up to 53,449 shares of Series

C Preferred Stock (the “Milestone Closing”). The first tranche of the private placement is expected to close on August 7,

2026, and the Milestone Closing will close subject to achievement of a clinical trial milestone. Concurrently, the Company also resolved

all existing contractual matters with a third party in exchange for the conversion of its outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and warrants

into common stock and Series C Preferred Stock, subject to beneficial ownership limitations. Subject to Company stockholder approval

in accordance with Nasdaq listing rules, each share of Series C Preferred Stock will automatically convert into 1,000 shares of common

stock, subject to beneficial ownership limitations. Following stockholder approval, ownership of the Company, on a fully diluted basis

not including any shares that may be issued in the Milestone Closing, will be approximately 73.86% for Cy Biopharma’s former equityholders,

approximately 7.57% for the Company and approximately 17.49% for new investors in the private placement with a combined fully diluted

equity value of approximately $101.4 million (excluding transaction fees).

The

acquisition was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Directors and stockholders of Cy Biopharma. The closings

of the acquisition and the private placement are not subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders. The approval of the

Company’s stockholders is required, among other things, under Nasdaq listing rules in order for the Series C Preferred Stock to

be converted into shares of Company common stock, and the Company is required under the terms of the financing to hold a stockholder

meeting to obtain this vote.
