1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
June 16, 2026, bioAffinity Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), consummated a best efforts public
offering (the “Offering”) of an aggregate of (i) 1,040,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.007
per share (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,960,000
shares of Common Stock (“Pre-Funded Warrants Shares”) in lieu of Shares. Each Share was sold at a public offering price of
$0.80. Each Pre-Funded Warrant was sold at a public offering price of $0.793.
The
aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering were approximately $3.2 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering
expenses. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The
Securities Purchase Agreement
In
connection with the Offering, on June 16, 2026, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”)
with certain investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed not to effect or enter into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company
or any of its subsidiaries of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents for a period of thirty (30) days from the closing of
the Offering and will not enter into variable rate transactions for a period of three (3) months following the closing of the Offering,
subject to certain exceptions, including that the prohibition against entering into an “at the market” offering will expire
thirty (30) days following the closing of the Offering.
The
foregoing does not purport to be a complete description of the Purchase Agreement, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of such document, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
The
Placement Agency Agreement
Also,
in connection with the Offering, on June 16, 2026, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency
Agreement”) with WallachBeth Capital LLC (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to act
as placement agent on a “best efforts” basis in connection with the Offering. The Company paid the Placement Agent an aggregate
fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering and reimbursed the Placement Agent $120,000 for its expenses in connection
with the Offering.
The
Placement Agency Agreement and the Purchase Agreement each contain customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company,
customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, the Placement Agent, or the purchasers in the Offering,
as the case may be, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Placement
Agency Agreement, the Company’s executive officers and directors have entered into agreements providing that, for a period of thirty
(30) days from the closing of the Offering, each of these persons may not, subject to customary exceptions, offer, issue, sell, transfer
or otherwise dispose of the Company’s securities without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent. The Placement Agency
Agreement also provides that the Company will not effect or enter into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents for a period of thirty (30) days from the closing of the Offering
and will not enter into variable rate transactions for a period of three (3) months following the closing of the Offering, subject to
certain exceptions, including that the prohibition against entering into an “at the market” offering will expire thirty (30)
days following the closing of the Offering.
The
foregoing does not purport to be a complete description of the Placement Agency Agreement, and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the full text of such document, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
The
Securities Offered
Each
Pre-Funded Warrant is immediately exercisable for one (1) share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.007 per share and will remain
exercisable until the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrants and number of Pre-Funded
Warrant Shares will adjust in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications
or similar events.
The
Pre-Funded Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis at any time. A holder of the Pre-Funded Warrants (together with its affiliates)
may not exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% (or 9.99%, at the election
of the holder) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice
from the holder to the Company, the holder may increase the amount of beneficial ownership of outstanding shares after exercising the
holder’s Pre-Funded Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of the Company’s shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to the exercise.
The
Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants, and the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares were offered and sold by the Company pursuant to the Company’s
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-296764), filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) that became effective on June 16,
2026.
The
foregoing does not purport to be a complete description of each of the Pre-Funded Warrants and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the full text of such document, which is filed as Exhibits 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Subject
to the terms and conditions herein (this “Agreement”), bioAffinity Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), hereby agrees to sell up to an aggregate of up to $3,200,000 of registered securities of the Company,
consisting of an aggregate of up to 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) par value
$0.007 per share (the “Common Stock”) and/or pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to
purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”, and together with the Shares, the
Pre-Funded Warrants, and the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the “Securities”) directly to various investors (each, an
“Investor” and, collectively, the “Investors”) through WallachBeth Capital, LLC as placement agent
(the “Placement Agent”). The documents executed and delivered by the Company and the Investors in connection with
the Offering (as defined below), including, without limitation, a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”),
shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” The purchase price to the Investors for each
Share is $0.80 and $0.793 for each Pre-Funded Warrant and for each Pre-Funded Warrant Share is $0.007. The Placement Agent may retain
other brokers or dealers to act as sub-agents or selected-dealers on its behalf in connection with the Offering. Capitalized terms used
and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement.
The
Company hereby confirms its agreement with the Placement Agent as follows:
Section
1. Agreement to Act as Placement Agent.
(a)
On the basis of the representations, warranties, and agreements of the Company herein contained, and subject to all the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, the Placement Agent shall be the exclusive placement agent in connection with the offering and sale by the Company
of the Securities pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-296764) (the “Registration
Statement”), to be subject to market conditions and negotiations between the Company, the Placement Agent and the prospective
Investors. The Placement Agent will act on a reasonable best-efforts basis and the Company agrees and acknowledges that there is no guarantee
of the successful placement of the Securities, or any portion thereof, in the prospective Offering. Under no circumstances will the Placement
Agent or any of its “Affiliates” (as defined below) be obligated to underwrite or purchase any of the Securities for its
own account or otherwise provide any financing. The Placement Agent shall act solely as the Company’s agent and not as principal.
The Placement Agent shall have no authority to bind the Company with respect to any offer to purchase Securities and the Company shall
have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Securities and may reject any such offer, in whole or in part. Subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the Securities shall be made at one or more closings (each
a “Closing” and the date on which each Closing occurs, a “Closing Date”). The Closing of the issuance
of the Securities shall occur via “Delivery Versus Payment”, i.e., on the Closing Date, the Company shall issue the Securities
directly to the account designated by the Placement Agent and, upon receipt of such Securities, the Placement Agent shall electronically
deliver such Securities to the applicable Investor and payment shall be made by the Placement Agent (or its clearing firm) by wire transfer
to the Company. As compensation for services rendered, on each Closing Date, the Company shall pay to the Placement Agent the fees and
expenses set forth below:
(i)
Cash Fee. A cash fee (the “Cash Fee”) equal to seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the gross proceeds from
the sale of Securities at the Closing by deduction from the proceeds thereof.
1
(ii)
Expenses. The Company agrees to reimburse the Placement Agent’s expenses up to a maximum of One Hundred Twenty Thousand
Dollars ($120,000) payable immediately upon the Closing of the Offering.
(iii)
Placement Agent Warrants. The Company agrees to issue to the Placement Agent or its designee(s) that number of warrants equal
to three percent (3%) of the number of shares of common stock sold in the Offering in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (“Placement
Agent Warrants”).
(b)
The term of the Placement Agent’s engagement will be until the earlier of (i) the final closing of the Offering and (ii) a party
hereto terminating the engagement with respect to itself upon ten (10) days written notice to the other parties. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, the provisions concerning confidentiality, indemnification, and contribution contained herein and the
Company’s obligations contained in the indemnification provisions will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement,
and the Company’s obligation to pay fees actually earned and payable and to reimburse expenses actually incurred and reimbursable
pursuant to Section 1 hereof and which are permitted to be reimbursed under FINRA Rule 5110(g), will survive any expiration or
termination of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the ability of the Placement Agent or its Affiliates
to pursue, investigate, analyze, invest in, or engage in investment banking, financial advisory, or any other business relationship with
Persons (as defined below) other than the Company. As used herein (i) “Persons” means an individual or corporation, partnership,
trust, incorporated, or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an
agency or subdivision thereof), or other entity of any kind and (ii) “Affiliate” means any Person that, directly or indirectly
through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a Person as such terms are used in and
construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The rules and regulations
of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) promulgated under the Securities Act are
referred to as (the “Rules and Regulations”).
Section
2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the Placement
Agent as of the date hereof, and as of each Closing Date, as follows:
(a) Securities Law Filings. The Company has prepared and filed the Registration Statement in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, which became effective on June 16, 2026, including the Preliminary Prospectus, and such amendments and supplements thereto as may have been required to the date of this Agreement. The Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act and no stop order preventing or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or suspending or preventing the use of the preliminary prospectus including in the Registration Statement at the time it was declared effective (the “Preliminary Prospectus”) or the final prospectus related to the Registration Statement (the “Final Prospectus”) has been issued by the Commission and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company, are threatened by the Commission. The Company shall file the Final Prospectus with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b). At the time the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto became effective as determined under the Securities Act, at the date of this Agreement and at the Closing Date, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto conformed and will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and the Final Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, at the time the Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto was issued and at the Closing Date, conformed and will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
Any
“issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) relating to the Securities is hereafter
referred to as an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.” Any reference herein to the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final
Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein as of the date of filing thereof;
and any reference herein to any “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to any of the Preliminary Prospectus
and the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include (i) the filing of any document with the Commission incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated therein by reference after the date of filing of such Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus and (ii) any such document
so filed.
All
references in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, shall be deemed to include any copy thereof filed with the Commission
on EDGAR.
The
Registration Statement complies, and the Final Prospectus and any further amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or
the Final Prospectus will comply, in all material respects, with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, and do not, and will
not, as of the applicable effective date as to each part of the Registration Statement and as of the applicable filing date as to the
Final Prospectus and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, contain 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 light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.
No
order preventing or suspending the use of the Final Prospectus has been issued by the Commission.
2
(b)
Assurances. The Registration Statement, as amended (and any further documents to be filed with the Commission), contained in all
material respects at the time of filing and contains all exhibits and schedules as required by the Securities Act. The Registration Statement,
at the time it became effective, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations and
did not knowingly contain any untrue statement of a material fact or knowingly omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, each as of its respective
date, comply or will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations. Each of the Preliminary
Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, did not and will not knowingly contain as of the date thereof any untrue
statement of a material fact or knowingly omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that this representation and warranty
shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company
by the Placement Agent expressly for use therein. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements, and other documents
required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof,
for the two (2) years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law or regulation to file such
material) (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, together with the
Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a
timely basis or has received a valid extension (or waiver from the Commission) of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports
prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, 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.
(c)
Offering Materials. Neither the Company nor any of its directors and officers has distributed and none of them will distribute,
prior to each Closing Date, any offering material in connection with the Offering other than the Registration Statement and the Preliminary
Prospectus and any other materials permitted by the Securities Act.
(d)
Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Statement and the Preliminary Prospectus and otherwise to carry out its obligations
hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated hereby and under the Final Prospectus have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no
further action is required by the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) or the
Company’s shareholders in connection therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals. This Agreement has been duly
executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, assuming due authorization, execution, and delivery
by the Placement Agent, will constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to
the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution
provisions may be limited by applicable law.
3
(e)
No Conflicts. The execution, delivery, and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated pursuant
to the Registration Statement and the Preliminary Prospectus, the issuance and sale of the Securities and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to which it is a party do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of
the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws or other organizational or charter
documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default)
under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration, or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt, or
other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company is a party or by
which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, or (iii) assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties
of the Placement Agent set forth in Section 3 hereof and subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation
of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree, or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which
the Company is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company
is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.
(f)
Certificates. Any certificate signed by an officer of the Company and delivered to the Placement Agent or to counsel for the Placement
Agent shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Company (and not in such officer’s personal capacity) to the Placement
Agent as to the matters set forth therein.
(g)
Reliance. The Company acknowledges that the Placement Agent will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of the foregoing representations
and warranties and hereby consents to such reliance.
(h)
Forward-Looking Statements. No forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section
21E of the Exchange Act) contained in the Registration Statement and the Preliminary Prospectus has been made or reaffirmed without a
reasonable basis or has been disclosed other than in good faith.
(i)
Statistical or Market-Related Data. Any statistical, industry-related, and market-related data included or incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement and the Preliminary Prospectus, are based on or derived from sources that the Company reasonably and in
good faith believes to be reliable and accurate, and such data agree with the sources from which they are derived.
(j)
FINRA Affiliations. Except as set forth in the Registration Statement and Preliminary Prospectus, no brokerage or finder’s
fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company to any broker, financial advisor
or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. There are no other arrangements, agreements or understandings of the Company or, to the Company’s knowledge,
any of its shareholders that may affect the Placement Agent’s compensation, as determined by FINRA. Other than payments to the
Placement Agent for this Offering or as set forth in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, the Company has not made and has no agreements,
arrangements or understanding to make any direct or indirect payments (in cash, securities or otherwise) to: (i) any person, as a finder’s
fee, consulting fee or otherwise, in consideration of such person raising capital for the Company or introducing to the Company persons
who raised or provided capital to the Company; (ii) any FINRA member participating in the offering as defined in FINRA Rule 5110 (a “Participating
Member”); or (iii) any person or entity that has any direct or indirect affiliation or association with any Participating Member,
within the 180-day period preceding the initial filing of the Registration Statement through the 60-day period after the Effective Date.
None of the net proceeds of the Offering will be paid by the Company to any Participating Member or its affiliates, except as specifically
authorized herein. To the Company’s knowledge, no officer, director or any beneficial owner of 10% or more of the Company’s
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) has any direct or indirect affiliation or
association with any Participating Member in the Offering. Except for securities purchased on the open market, no Company Affiliate is
an owner of stock or other securities of any Participating Member. No Company Affiliate has made a subordinated loan to any Participating
Member. No proceeds from the sale of the Securities (excluding Placement Agent compensation as disclosed in the Registration Statement
and the Final Prospectus) will be paid to any Participating Member, any persons associated with a Participating Member or an affiliate
of a Participating Member. Except as disclosed in the Final Prospectus, the Company has not issued any warrants or other securities or
granted any options, directly or indirectly, to the Placement Agent within the 180-day period prior to the initial filing date of the
Final Prospectus. Except for securities issued to the Placement Agent as disclosed in the Final Prospectus, no person to whom securities
of the Company have been privately issued within the 180-day period prior to the initial filing date of the Final Prospectus is a Participating
Member, is a person associated with a Participating Member or is an affiliate of a Participating Member. To the Company’s knowledge,
no Participating Member in the Offering has a conflict of interest with the Company. For this purpose, a “conflict of interest”
exists when a Participating Member, the parent or affiliate of a Participating Member or any person associated with a Participating Member
in the aggregate beneficially own 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding subordinated debt or common equity, or 10% or more of
the Company’s preferred equity. “FINRA member participating in the Offering” includes any associated person of a Participating
Member in the Offering, any member of such associated person’s immediate family and any affiliate of a Participating Member in
the Offering. When used in this Section 2(j) the term “affiliate of a FINRA member” or “affiliated with a FINRA member”
means an entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with a FINRA member. The Company will advise the Placement
Agent and its legal counsel, Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel LLP if it learns that any officer, director or owner of 10% or more of the
Company’s outstanding Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents is or becomes an affiliate or associated person of a Participating
Member.
4
(k)
Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is comprised of the persons set forth under the heading “Directors and Executive
Officers” in the Company’s SEC Reports. The qualifications of the persons serving as board members and the overall composition
of the Board of Directors comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and
the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Trading Market”). In addition, at least a majority of the persons serving on
the Board of Directors qualify as “independent” as defined under the rules of the Trading Market.
(l)
[Reserved].
(m)

to the terms and conditions hereof, at each Closing payment of the purchase price for the Securities sold on such Closing Date shall
be made by Federal Funds wire transfer, against delivery of such Securities, and such Securities shall be registered in such name or
names and shall be in such denominations, as the Placement Agent may each request at least one business day before the time of purchase.
Deliveries
of the documents with respect to the purchase of the Securities, if any, shall be made at such place as shall be agreed upon by the parties.
All actions taken at a Closing shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously.
Section
5. Covenants and Agreements of the Company. The Company further covenants and agrees with the Placement Agent as follows:
(a)
Registration Statement Matters. Additionally, the Company agrees, in connection with the Offering, that it shall comply with the
provisions of Rules 424(b), 430A, 430B, and 430C, as applicable, under the Securities Act, including with respect to the timely filing
of documents thereunder, and will use its reasonable efforts to confirm that any filings made by the Company under such Rule 424(b) are
received in a timely manner by the Commission.
(b)
Blue Sky Compliance. If applicable, the Company will reasonably cooperate with the Placement Agent and the Investors in endeavoring
to qualify the Securities for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions (United States and foreign) as the Placement Agent
and the Investors may reasonably request and will make such applications, file such documents, and furnish such information as may be
reasonably required for that purpose, provided the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file
a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or required to file such a consent, and
provided further that the Company shall not be required to produce any new disclosure document. The Company will, from time to
time, prepare and file such statements, reports, and other documents as are or may be required to continue such qualifications in effect
for so long a period as the Placement Agent may reasonably request for distribution of the Securities. The Company will advise the Placement
Agent promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any such exemption relating to) the Securities for offering,
sale, or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance
of any order suspending such qualification, registration, or exemption, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.
(c)
Amendments and Supplements to a Prospectus and Other Matters. The Company will comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Securities
as contemplated in this Agreement, the SEC Reports and any prospectus. If during the period in which a prospectus is required by law
to be delivered in connection with the distribution of Securities contemplated by the SEC Reports, this Agreement, and any prospectus
(the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), any event shall occur as a result of which, in the judgment of the Company or
in the reasonable opinion of the Placement Agent or counsel for the Placement Agent, it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the
SEC Reports or any prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, as the
case may be, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the SEC Reports or any prospectus or to file under
the Exchange Act any SEC Report to comply with any law, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, and furnish at
its own expense to the Placement Agent and to dealers, an appropriate amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the Registration
Statement, the SEC Reports, or any prospectus that is necessary in order to make the statements in the SEC Reports and any prospectus
as so amended or supplemented, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, as the case may be, not misleading, or so that
the Registration Statement, the SEC Reports or any prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, will comply with law. Before amending the
Registration Statement or supplementing the SEC Reports or any prospectus in connection with the Offering, the Company will furnish the
Placement Agent with a copy of such proposed amendment or supplement and will not file any such amendment or supplement to which the
Placement Agent reasonably objects.
6
(d)
Copies of any Amendments and Supplements to a Prospectus. The Company will furnish the Placement Agent, without charge, during
the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the later of the last Closing Date of the Offering, as many copies of any prospectus

Commission and the Trading Market all reports and documents required to be filed under the Exchange Act within the time periods and in
the manner required by the Exchange Act.
(j)
Additional Documents. The Company agrees that the Placement Agent may rely upon, and each is a third party beneficiary
of, the representations and warranties, and applicable covenants, set forth in the securities purchase agreements entered into with Investors
in the Offering.
(k)
No Manipulation of Price. The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in,
or that has constituted or might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities
of the Company.
(l)
Acknowledgment. The Company acknowledges that any advice given by the Placement Agent to the Company is solely for the benefit
and use of the Board of Directors of the Company and may not be used, reproduced, disseminated, quoted, or referred to, without the Placement
Agent’s prior written consent.
(m)
Announcement of Offering. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent may, subsequent to the Closing, make public
its involvement with the Offering.
(n)
Reliance on Others. The Company confirms that it will rely on its own counsel and accountants for legal and accounting advice.
(o)
Research Matters. By entering into this Agreement, the Placement Agent does not provide any promise, either explicitly or implicitly,
of favorable or continued research coverage of the Company and the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent’s
selection as a placement agent for the Offering was in no way conditioned, explicitly or implicitly, on the Placement Agent providing
favorable or any research coverage of the Company. In accordance with FINRA Rule 2241(b)(2), the parties acknowledge and agree that the
Placement Agent has not directly or indirectly offered favorable research, a specific rating or a specific price target, or threatened
to change research, a rating or a price target, to the Company or inducement for the receipt of business or compensation. The Company
hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Placement Agent
with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts
and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company by the Placement
Agent’s investment banking divisions. The Company acknowledges that the Placement Agent is a full service securities firm and as
such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers
and hold long or short position in debt or equity securities of the Company.
7
(p)
Subsequent Equity Sales.
(i)
From the date hereof until 30 days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (i) issue, enter into any agreement
to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or (ii) file any registration
statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, other than the Final Prospectus or as contemplated pursuant to Section 4.17 herein,
supplements or amendments to registration statements or supplements previously filed, or filing a registration statement on Form S-8
in connection with any employee benefit plan.
(ii)
From the date hereof until 3 months after the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement
to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of thereof)
involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or
sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional
shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies
with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity
securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial
issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the
business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including,
but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price, provided,
however, that, following the expiration of the restrictive period set forth in Section 5(p)(i) above, the entry into and/or issuance
of shares of Common Stock in an “at the market” offering shall not be deemed a Variable Rate Transaction. Any Purchaser shall
be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right
to collect damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prohibition on “at-the-market offerings” and the issuance of shares
of Common Stock pursuant to an equity line of financing shall no longer apply following the expiration of the restrictive period set
forth in Section 5(p)(i) above.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 5(p)(i) and Section 5(p)(ii) shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate
Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance. An “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or
options to employees, officers or directors or consultants of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such
purpose, by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee
directors established for such purpose for services rendered to the Company, (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion
of any Securities issued hereunder and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, and (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved
by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that such securities are issued as “restricted securities”
(as defined in Rule 144) and carry no registration rights that require or permit the filing of any registration statement in connection
therewith during the prohibition period in Section 4.12(a) herein, and provided that any such issuance shall only be to a Person (or
to the equityholders of a Person) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business
synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds,
but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an
entity whose primary business is investing in securities.
8
(iii)
Right of First Refusal; Tail.
(i)
The Company hereby grants a right of first refusal until September 18, 2026 to the Placement Agent to act as lead underwriter or book-
running manager or placement agent for each and every future public and private equity, equity-linked, convertible or debt (excluding
commercial bank debt) offerings of the Company, or any successor to or any subsidiary of the Company during such period. If the Placement
Agent fails to accept an offer within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of a notice containing the material terms of a proposed
financing by registered mail or overnight courier service addressed to the Placement Agent, then the Placement Agent shall have no further
claim or right with respect to the financing proposal contained in such notice. If, however, the terms of such financing proposal are
subsequently modified in any material respect, the preferential right referred to herein shall apply to such modified proposal as if
the original proposal had not been made. The Placement Agent’s failure to exercise its preferential right with respect to any particular
proposal shall not affect its preferential rights relative to future proposals.
(ii)
For a period of 12 months after the closing of the Offering, the Placement Agent will receive a cash fee equal to the Cash Fee and the
Placement Agent Warrants set forth herein (to the extent allowable by FINRA) with respect to any sale, warrant inducement, merger, acquisition
or other similar transactions (each, a “Transaction”) occurring with a party that was brought “over-the-wall”
by the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering; provided, that the Placement Agent shall deliver to the Company a written list
identifying each party brought “over-the-wall” by the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering no later than five
(5) Business Days following the Closing Date, and the tail fee set forth in this Section 5(p)(iii)(ii) shall apply solely with respect
to parties identified on such list. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the agreement with the Placement Agent, if
the engagement of the Placement Agent is terminated for cause, the Placement Agent shall not have the right to receive any tail fee pursuant
to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(5).
The
term “Transaction” shall include, without limitation, any investment in (whether in one or a series of transactions) the
assets or the capital stock of the Company, through any proposed merger, consolidation, joint venture or other business/strategic combination
with or involving the Company or any event which results in the transfer of control of or a material interest in the Company or of all
or a substantial amount of the assets thereof, as well as any recapitalization or restructuring of the Company by the current owners,
a third party or any combination thereof, or any other form of transaction which results in the effective acquisition of the principal
business and operations of the Company.
(q)
Lock-Up Agreements. The Company shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any of the Lock-Up Agreements except
to extend the term of the lock-up period and shall enforce the provisions of each Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with its terms. If
any party to a Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Lock-Up Agreement, the Company shall promptly use its best efforts to seek
specific performance of the terms of such Lock-Up Agreement.
(r)
FINRA. The Company shall advise the Placement Agent (who shall make an appropriate filing with FINRA) if it is aware that any
officer, director, 10% or greater shareholder of the Company or Person that received the Company’s unregistered equity securities
in the past 180 days is or becomes an affiliate or associated person of a FINRA member firm prior to the earlier of the termination of
this Agreement or the 60-day period after the Effective Date.

Section
6. Conditions of the Obligations of the Placement Agent. The obligations of the Placement Agent hereunder shall be subject to the
accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company set forth in Section 2 hereof, in each case as of the date
hereof and as of each Closing Date, to the timely performance by each of the Company of its covenants and other obligations hereunder
on and as of such dates, and to each of the following additional conditions:
(a)
Compliance with Registration Requirements; No Stop Order; No Objection from the FINRA. Each Prospectus (in accordance with Rule
424(b)) and “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act), if any, shall have been duly
filed with the Commission, as appropriate; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any part thereof
shall have been issued and no proceeding for that purpose shall have been initiated or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened
by the Commission; no order preventing or suspending the use of any prospectus shall have been issued and no proceeding for that purpose
shall have been initiated or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened by the Commission; no order having the effect of ceasing or
suspending the distribution of the Securities or any other securities of the Company shall have been issued by any securities commission,
securities regulatory authority or stock exchange and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or shall be pending
or, to the knowledge of the Company, contemplated by any securities commission, securities regulatory authority or stock exchange; all
requests for additional information on the part of the Commission shall have been complied with; and the FINRA shall have raised no objection
to the fairness and reasonableness of the placement terms and arrangements.
(b)
Corporate Proceedings. All corporate proceedings and other legal matters in connection with this Agreement, the Registration Statement,
and any prospectus, and the registration, sale, and delivery of the Securities, shall have been completed or resolved in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Placement Agent’s counsel, and such counsel shall have been furnished with such papers and information as it
may reasonably have requested to enable such counsel to pass upon the matters referred to in this Section 6.
(c)
No Material Adverse Effect. Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to each Closing Date, in the
Placement Agent’s sole judgment after consultation with the Company, there shall not have occurred any Material Adverse Effect.

assurance of Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton, LLP, counsel to the Company, dated as of such Closing Date, addressed to the Placement
Agent and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agent.
(e)
Comfort Letter from Auditor and Letter from Chief Financial Officer. On the date of this Agreement, the Placement Agent shall
receive a signed letter from the Chief Financial Officer of the Company addressed to the Placement Agent and the Purchasers, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agent and its counsel, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily
included in chief financial officer certificates to placement agents with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information
contained in or incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or the Preliminary Prospectus. The letter shall not disclose
any change in the condition (financial or other), earnings, operations, business or prospects of the Company from that set forth in the
SEC Reports or the applicable prospectus, which, in the Placement Agent’s sole judgment, is material and adverse and that makes
it, in the Placement Agent’s sole judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the Offering of the Securities as contemplated
by such prospectus. Within two days of the Closing Date, the Placement Agent shall have received a “comfort” letter from
WithumSmith+Brown, PC as of such date, addressed to the Placement Agent and in form and substance satisfactory in all respects to the
Placement Agent and Placement Agent’s counsel.
(f)
Officers’ Certificate. The Placement Agent shall have received on each Closing Date a certificate of the Company, dated
as of such Closing Date, signed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, to the effect that, and
the Placement Agent shall be satisfied that, the signers of such certificate have reviewed the Registration Statement, the SEC Reports,
any prospectus, and this Agreement and to the further effect that:
(i)
The representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct, as if made on and as of such Closing Date,
and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or
prior to such Closing Date;

for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened under the Securities Act; no order
having the effect of ceasing or suspending the distribution of the Securities or any other securities of the Company has been issued
by any securities commission, securities regulatory authority or stock exchange in the United States and no proceedings for that purpose
have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, contemplated by any securities commission, securities regulatory
authority or stock exchange in the United States;
10
(iii)
When the Registration Statement became effective, at the time of sale, and at all times subsequent thereto up to the delivery of such
certificate, the Registration Statement, when it became effective and the Preliminary Prospectus and Final Prospectus, contained or will
contain all material information required to be included therein by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable rules
and regulations of the Commission thereunder, as the case may be, and in all material respects conformed to the requirements of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, as the case may be, and the Registration
Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, did not or will not and do not include 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
under which they were made, not misleading (provided, however, that the preceding representations and warranties contained in this paragraph
(iii) shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to
the Company by the Placement Agent expressly for use therein) and, since the effective date of the Registration Statement, there has
occurred no event required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder to be set forth in the SEC
Reports which has not been so set forth; and
(iv)
Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the SEC Reports and any prospectus,
there has not been: (a) any Material Adverse Effect; (b) any transaction that is material to the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as
a whole, except transactions entered into in the ordinary course of business; (c) any obligation, direct or contingent, that is material
to the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, incurred by the Company or any Subsidiary, except obligations incurred in the ordinary
course of business; (d) any material change in the capital stock (except changes thereto resulting from the exercise of outstanding stock
options or warrants) or outstanding indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary; (e) any dividend or distribution of any kind declared,
paid or made on the capital stock of the Company; or (f) any loss or damage (whether or not insured) to the property of the Company or
any Subsidiary which has been sustained or will have been sustained which has a Material Adverse Effect.
(g)
Secretary’s Certificate. At each Closing Date, the Placement Agent shall have received a certificate of the Company signed
by the Secretary or another authorized officer of the Company, dated such Closing Date certifying on behalf of the Company and not in
an individual capacity: (i) that the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company is true and complete, has not been
modified and is in full force and effect; (ii) that the resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors relating to the Offering
are in full force and effect and have not been modified; and (iii) as to the incumbency of the officers of the Company. The documents
referred to in such certificate shall be attached to such certificate.
(h)
Lock-Up Agreements. On the Closing Date (and, if there is more than one Closing Date, then on only the initial Closing Date),
the Placement Agent shall have received the executed lock-up agreements from each of the directors and officers of the Company.
(i)
Stock Exchange Listing. The Common Stock shall be registered under the Exchange Act and shall be listed on the Trading Market,
and the Company shall not have taken any action designed to terminate, or likely to have the effect of terminating, the registration

11
(k)
Additional Documents. On or before each Closing Date, the Placement Agent and counsel for the Placement Agent shall have received
such information and documents as they may reasonably require for the purposes of enabling them to pass upon the issuance and sale of
the Securities as contemplated herein, or in order to evidence the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties, or the satisfaction
of any of the conditions or agreements, herein contained.
If
any condition specified in this Section 6 is not satisfied when and as required to be satisfied, this Agreement may be terminated
by the Placement Agent by notice to the Company at any time on or prior to a Closing Date, which termination shall be without liability
on the part of any party to any other party, except that Section 7 (Payment of Expenses), Section 8 (Indemnification and
Contribution), and Section 9 (Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery) shall at all times be effective and shall survive
such termination.
Section

the Registration Statement.
Section
8. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a)
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent, its affiliates and each person controlling the Placement Agent
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act), and the directors, officers, agents assisting with the Offering, and employees
of the Placement Agent, their affiliates and each such controlling person (the Placement Agent, and each such entity or person. an “Indemnified
Person”) from and against any losses, claims, damages, judgments, assessments, costs, and other liabilities (collectively,
the “Liabilities”), and shall reimburse each Indemnified Person for all reasonable and documented out of pocket fees
and expenses (including the reasonable documented and out of pocket fees and expenses of one counsel for all Indemnified Persons, except
as otherwise expressly provided herein) (collectively, the “Expenses”) as they are incurred by an Indemnified Person
in investigating, preparing, pursuing, or defending any Actions, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, (i) caused
by, or arising out of or in connection with, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, or any prospectus or by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than untrue statements or alleged untrue statements
in, or omissions or alleged omissions from, information relating to an Indemnified Person furnished in writing by or on behalf of such
Indemnified Person expressly for use in the SEC Reports) or (ii) otherwise arising out of or in connection with advice or services rendered
or to be rendered by any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby or any Indemnified Person’s
actions or inactions in connection with any such advice, services or transactions; provided, however, that, in the case
of clause (ii) only, the Company shall not be responsible for any Liabilities or Expenses of any Indemnified Person that are finally
judicially determined to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Person’s (x) negligence, gross negligence, willful misconduct,
or bad faith in connection with any of the advice, actions, inactions, or services referred to above or (y) use of any offering materials
or information concerning the Company in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities in the Offering which were not authorized
for such use by the Company and which use constitutes negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company also agrees to
reimburse each Indemnified Person for all Expenses as they are incurred in connection with enforcing such Indemnified Person’s
rights under this Agreement.
12
(b)
Upon receipt by an Indemnified Person of actual notice of an Action against such Indemnified Person with respect to which indemnity may
be sought under this Agreement, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing; provided that failure by
any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have on account
of this indemnity or otherwise to such Indemnified Person, except to the extent the Company shall have been prejudiced by such failure.
The Company shall, if requested by the Placement Agent, assume the defense of any such Action including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Placement Agent, which counsel may also be counsel to the Company. Any Indemnified Person shall have the right to
employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be
at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company has failed promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel; or (ii)
the named parties to any such Action (including any impeded parties) include such Indemnified Person and the Company, and such Indemnified
Person shall have been advised in the reasonable opinion of counsel that there is an actual conflict of interest that prevents the counsel
selected by the Company from representing both the Company (or another client of such counsel) and any Indemnified Person; provided
that the Company shall not in such event be responsible hereunder for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of separate counsel
for all Indemnified Persons in connection with any Action or related Actions, in addition to any local counsel. The Company shall not
be liable for any settlement of any Action effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). In addition,
the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle, compromise,
or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened Action in respect of which indemnification
or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise,
consent, or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from all Liabilities arising out of such Action
for which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder. The indemnification required hereby shall be made by periodic payments
of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage, or liability is incurred and
is due and payable.
(c)
In the event that the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to an Indemnified Person other than in accordance with this Agreement, the Company
shall contribute to the Liabilities and Expenses paid or payable by such Indemnified Person in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
(i) the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and to the Placement Agent and any other Indemnified Person, on the other
hand, of the matters contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by the immediately preceding clause is not permitted
by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent
and any other Indemnified Person, on the other hand, in connection with the matters as to which such Liabilities or Expenses relate,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that in no event shall the Company contribute less than the amount
necessary to ensure that all Indemnified Persons, in the aggregate, are not liable for any Liabilities and Expenses in excess of the
amount of fees actually received by the Placement Agent pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, the relative benefits
to the Company, on the one hand, and to the Placement Agent on the other hand, of the matters contemplated by this Agreement shall be
deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value paid or contemplated to be paid to or received or contemplated to be received
by the Company in the transaction or transactions that are within the scope of this Agreement, whether or not any such transaction is
consummated, bears to (b) the fees to be received by the Placement Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, no person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act, as amended, shall be entitled to contribution
from a party who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.
13
(d)
The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise)
to the Company for or in connection with advice or services rendered or to be rendered by any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement,
the transactions contemplated thereby or any Indemnified Person’s actions or inactions in connection with any such advice, services,
or transactions except for Liabilities (and related Expenses) of the Company that are finally judicially determined to have resulted
primarily from such Indemnified Person’s negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with any such advice,
actions, inactions or services.
(e)
The reimbursement, indemnity, and contribution obligations of the Company set forth herein shall apply to any modification of this Agreement
and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any termination of, or the completion of any Indemnified Person’s services
under or in connection with, this Agreement.
Section
9. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties, and
other statements of the Company or any person controlling the Company, of its officers, and of the Placement Agent set forth in or made
pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Placement
Agent, the Company, or any of its or their respective partners, officers, or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be,
and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement. A successor to the
Placement Agent, or to the Company, its directors or officers or any person controlling the Company, shall be entitled to the benefits
of the indemnity, contribution, and reimbursement agreements contained in this Agreement.

PRE-FUNDED
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
BIOAFFINITY
TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Warrant
Shares:
Issue
Date:
THIS
PRE-FUNDED COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, [__] or its assigns (the
“Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set
forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and until this Warrant is exercised in
full (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from bioAffinity Technologies,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to [*] shares
(as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of the common stock, par value $0.007 per share, of the
Company (“Common Stock”). The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the
Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated [*], among the Company and the purchasers signatory
thereto.
Section
2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the attached Notice of Exercise. The Company shall have no obligation to inquire with respect to or otherwise confirm the authenticity of the signature(s) contained on any Notice of Exercise nor the authority of the person so executing such Notice of Exercise. The Company shall have no obligation to inquire with respect to or otherwise confirm the authenticity of the signature(s) contained on any Notice of Exercise nor the authority of the person so executing such Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price. The aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except for a nominal exercise price of $0.007 per Warrant Share, was pre-funded to the Company on or prior to the Initial Exercise Date and, consequently, no additional consideration (other than the nominal exercise price of $0.007 per Warrant Share) shall be required to be paid by the Holder to any Person to effect any exercise of this Warrant. The Holder shall not be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-paid aggregate exercise price under any circumstance or for any reason whatsoever, including in the event this Warrant shall not have been exercised prior to the Termination Date. The remaining unpaid exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.007, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
c) Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A)
=
as
applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of
Exercise is (1) delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) delivered pursuant to Section
2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation
NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on
the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the highest Bid Price of the Common Stock
on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) within two (2) hours of the time of
Holder’s delivery of the Notice of Exercise pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof if such Notice of Exercise is delivered during
“regular trading hours” or within two (2) hours thereafter the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading
Day or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and
such Notice of Exercise is delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof within two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading
hours” on such Trading Day;
(B)
=
the
Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X)
=
the
number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such
exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
“Bid
Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock
is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date)
on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30
a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on a Trading Market
and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on OTCQB or OTCQX, as applicable, the volume weighted average price of the Common
Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX, as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted
for trading on a Trading Market or on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or
a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common
Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser
selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company,
the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
“VWAP”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed
or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date)
on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30
a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on a Trading Market
and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on OTCQB or OTCQX, as applicable, the volume weighted average price of the Common
Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted
for trading on a Trading Market or on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or
a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common
Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser
selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company,
the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
If
Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the
Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. The Company agrees not
to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).
2
d) Mechanics of Exercise.
i.
Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by
the transfer agent to the Holder (the “Transfer Agent”) by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s
balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if
the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance
of the Warrant Shares or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate,
registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which
the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is
the earlier of (A) the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of days comprising the Standard Settlement Period, in each
case after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and (B) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise
Price to the Company (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”) provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price (other than in the instance of a cashless exercise) is received by the Company by such date. Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise,
the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which
this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by the Warrant Share Delivery Date. If the Company fails for any reason
to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, provided that payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the instance of a cashless exercise) is received by the Company by such date, the Company
shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise
(based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per
Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date
until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant
in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period”
means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect
to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any
Notice(s) of Exercise delivered on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date, which may be delivered at
any time after the time of execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver the Warrant Shares subject to such notice(s)
by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date and the Initial Exercise Date shall be the Warrant Share Delivery Date
for purposes hereunder, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received
by such Warrant Share Delivery Date.
ii.
Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of
a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in
all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii.
Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section
2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
3
iv.
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to
the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions
of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder
is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases,
shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving
upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which
(x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds
(y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection
with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B)
at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise
was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the
Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrants
with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence
the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable
to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit
a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree
of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock
upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v.
No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise
of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company
shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
vi.
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax
or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company,
and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided,
however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when
surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed by the Holder
and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental
thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the
Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic
delivery of the Warrant Shares.
vii.
Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise
of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
4
e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability for exercises of the Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, except to the extent the Holder relies on a number of outstanding shares of Common Stock that was provided by the Company. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability for exercises of the Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, except to the extent the Holder relies on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock that was provided by the Company. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, upon election by a Holder prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. If the Warrant is unexercisable as a result of the Holder’s Beneficial Ownership Limitation, no alternate consideration is owing to the Holder.

Section
3. Certain Adjustments.
a)
Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise
makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares
of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this
Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse
stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the
Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which
the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of
shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant
shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after
the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b)
Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or
other property pro rata to all of the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”),
then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the
Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant
(without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately
before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the
date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights
(provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result
in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right
to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase
Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the
Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
c)
Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or
other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital
or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend,
spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”),
at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution
to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the
date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided,
however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in
the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution
shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder
exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
6
d)
Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or
more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (or any Subsidiary),
directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the Company’s assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer
or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to
sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of greater than 50%
of the voting power of the outstanding common and preferred stock of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or
more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share
exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other
than a stock split), or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase
agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme
of arrangement (other than a stock split)) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires greater
than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding common and preferred stock of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”),
then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without
regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor
or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section
2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately
adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of
Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in
a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock
are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given
the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.
The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor
Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option
of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument
substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock
of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this
Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise
price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares
of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital
stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation
of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any
such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from
and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents
referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity, or Successor Entities, jointly
and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and
power of the Company prior thereto, and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company
prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity
or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein.
e)
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share,
as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as
of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
7
f)
Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company may satisfy this notice requirement in this Section 3(f) by filing such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form other than a stock split) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights (excluding any granting or issuance of rights to all of the Company’s shareholders pursuant to a shareholder rights plan), (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least four (4) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
iii. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, subject to the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.
Section
4. Transfer of Warrant.
a)
Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including,
without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office
of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto
duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.
Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the
assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall
issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company
unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three
(3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant,
if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new
Warrant issued.
8
b)
New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of
the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by
the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such
division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be
divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Initial Exercise
Date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c)
Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the
“Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the
registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder,
and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
a)
No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights,
dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except
as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting the rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise”
only as permitted in Section 2(c), and to receive the cash payments contemplated pursuant to Sections 2(d)(i) and 2(d)(iv),
in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
b)
Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares,
and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant,
shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the
Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant
or stock certificate.
c)
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required
or granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading
Day.
d)
Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, at all times during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from
its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise
of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority
to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under
this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as
provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common
Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance
herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the
Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
9
Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending
its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale
of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant,
but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary
or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment (it being understood that this Warrant
shall not in any case prevent the Company from effecting any such amendment, reorganization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issuance or sale). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares
above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may
be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon
the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under
this Warrant.
Before
taking any action, which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from
any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e)
Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined
in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
f)
Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and
the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g)
Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall
operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that
the right to exercise this Warrant terminates on the Termination Date. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company
willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the
Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto
or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
h)
Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall
be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
i)
Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant
to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of
the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company
or by creditors of the Company.
j)
Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will
be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate
compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to
assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
k)
Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns
of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall
be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
l)
Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and
the Holder.
m)
Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining
provisions of this Warrant.
n)
Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed
a part of this Warrant.

a)
Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the provisions of Section 2(e) herein, exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant
may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Original Issuance Date and on or before close of business on the
Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to
the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy
submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”).
Within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined
in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the
Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank
unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original
Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of
Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this
Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised
in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the
date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a
portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant
Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall
maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection
to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this
Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant
Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated
on the face hereof.
b)
Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $[*]4, subject to adjustment
hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
c)
Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise”
in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by
(A), where:
(A)
=
At
the Holder’s discretion, either (i) the last VWAP immediately preceding the time of delivery of the Notice of Exercise giving
rise to the applicable “cashless exercise”, as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise (to clarify, the “last
VWAP” will be the last VWAP as calculated over an entire Trading Day such that, in the event that this Warrant is exercised
at a time that the Trading Market is open, the prior Trading Day’s VWAP shall be used in this calculation) or (ii) the last
reported per share sale price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of delivery of the Notice of
Exercise;
(B)
= the
Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X)
=
the
number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such
exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If
Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the
Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. The Company agrees not
to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

Mechanics of Exercise.
i.
Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by
the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository
Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant
in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale
of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery
of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant
Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by
the date that is the earlier of: (i) one (1) Trading Day after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, and (ii) the number
of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, all subject to
receipt of any cash payments required by the Holder (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery
of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares
with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading
Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the
Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery
Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject
to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing
to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such
Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain
a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein,
“Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s
primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
ii.
Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of
a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in
all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii.
Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section
2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv.
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to
the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions
of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date (other than any such failure that is solely
due to any action or inaction by the Holder with respect to such exercise), and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker
to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock
to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a
“Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained
by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise
at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the
Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in
which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been
issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with
an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the
Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable
to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit
a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree
of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock
upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
4
v.
No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise
of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company
shall round up or down, as applicable, to the nearest whole share.
vi.
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax
or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company,
and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided,
however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when
surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may
require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company
shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company
(or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
vii.
Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise
of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
e)
Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the
right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance
after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other
Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)),
would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude
the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject
to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership
shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being
acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent
that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to
other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable
shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination
of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution
Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company
shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status
as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed
with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by
the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of
a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion
or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date
as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”
shall be 4.99% (or, upon election by a Holder prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder,
upon at least 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of
this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common
Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the
Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not
be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and
implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion
hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes
or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply
to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section
3. Certain Adjustments.
a)
Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise
makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares
of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this
Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse
stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the
Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which
the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of
shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant
shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for
the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b)
Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time after the issuance
of this Warrant the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or
other property pro rata to all of the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”),
then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the
Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant
(without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately
before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the
date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights
(provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder
exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent
(or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to
such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
c)
Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or
other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to all of the holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return
of capital or otherwise (payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise than out of retained earnings,
as indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of the Company, including, without limitation,
any distribution of stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement,
scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant,
then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have
participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without
regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the
date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares
of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that
the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation,
then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares
of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the
benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation).
6
d)
Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or
more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly
or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of
its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer
(whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange
their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock,
(iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization
of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for
other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock
or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off
or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated
or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each
a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right
to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number
of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional
consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without
regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the
Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration
issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price
among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.
If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such
Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor
(the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option
of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument
substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock
of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this
Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise
price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares
of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital
stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation
of such Fundamental Transaction). Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and
be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the
“Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume
all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company
herein. For the avoidance of doubt, if, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, a Fundamental Transaction occurs, pursuant to
the terms of this Section 3(d), the Holder shall not be entitled to receive more than one of (i) the consideration receivable as a result
of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, or (ii) the assumption by the Successor Entity of all of the obligations of the Company under
this Warrant and the option to receive a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in
form and substance to this Warrant.
7
e)
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the
case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date
shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
f)
Notice to Holder.
i.
Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company
shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting
adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii.
Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on
the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the
Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with
any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities,
cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile
number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice (unless such information is filed with the Commission, in which case
a notice shall not be required) stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution,
redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to
be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected
that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other
property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to
deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to
be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a
Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such
notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section
4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. The registered Holder of this Warrant, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110 it will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate this Warrant (or the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant), or cause the Warrant (or the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant) to be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the Warrant by any person, for a period of 180 days from the commencement of sales of the Offering (“Commencement Date”) to anyone other than WallachBeth or a placement agent or selected dealer in connection with the Offering, or an officer, partner, registered person or affiliate of WallachBeth or of any such placement agent or selected dealer so long as all transferred securities remain subject to the lock-up restriction in Rule 5110(e)(1) for the remainder of the 180 days following the Commencement Date. On and after the 181st day following the Commencement Date, transfers to others may be made subject to compliance with or exemptions from applicable securities laws. In order to make any permitted assignment, the Holder must deliver to the Company the assignment form attached hereto duly executed and completed, together with the Warrant and payment of all transfer taxes, if any, payable in connection therewith. The Company shall within five (5) business days transfer this Warrant on the books of the Company and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor to the appropriate assignee(s) expressly evidencing the right to purchase the aggregate number of Shares purchasable hereunder or such portion of such number as shall be contemplated by any such assignment.
Subject
to the foregoing, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form
attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the
making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants
in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment,
and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly
be cancelled. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant
Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b)
New Warrants. If this Warrant is not held in global form through DTC (or any successor depository), this Warrant may be divided
or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying
the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance
with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a
new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants
issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except
as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
9
c)
Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the
“Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the
registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder,
and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
Section
5. Demand Registration Rights
a) Grant of Right. Upon written demand (“Initial Demand Notice”) of the Holder(s) of at least 51% (“Majority Holders”) of the Warrants and all of the securities underlying the Warrants, (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”), the Company agrees to use its best efforts to register (the “Demand Registration”) under the Act on one occasion, all or any portion of the Warrants requested by the Majority Holders in the Initial Demand Notice and all Registrable Securities. On such occasion, the Company will use its best efforts to file a registration statement or a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities as expeditiously as possible within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Initial Demand Notice and use its best efforts to have such registration statement or post-effective amendment declared effective as soon as possible thereafter. The demand for registration may be made at any time during a period of five (5) years from the Commencement Date. The Initial Demand Notice shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Company will notify all holders of the Warrants and/or Registrable Securities of the demand within ten (10) days from the date of the receipt of any such Initial Demand Notice. Each holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to include all or a portion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration (each such holder including shares of Registrable Securities in such registration, a “Demanding Holder”) shall so notify the Company within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by the holder of the notice from the Company. Upon any such request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Demand Registration, subject to Section 5(d). The Company shall not be required to effect more than one (1) Demand Registrations under this Section 5 in respect of all Registrable Securities during the five (5) year period commencing on the Commencement Date.
b) Effective Registration. A registration will not count as a Demand Registration until the registration statement filed with the Commission, with respect to such Demand Registration, has been declared effective and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Warrant with respect thereto. The Company is not obligated to initiate a Demand Registration if a prior Demand Registration filed with the Commission is still pending before the Commission.
c) Underwritten Offering. If the Majority Holders so elect and such holders so advise the Company as part of the Initial Demand Notice, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering. In such event, the right of any holder to include its 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 Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Majority Holders.
10
d) Reduction of Offering. If the managing underwriter or underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other securities which the Company desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other stockholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in such 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 shares, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Shares”), then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares that each such person has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares held by each such person (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.
e) Withdrawal. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwriting or are not entitled to include all of their Registrable Securities in any offering, such majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to the Company and the underwriter or underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration. If the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration, then the Company does not have to continue its obligations under Section 5, provided that, any such withdrawal will not count as the Demand Registration if the Demanding Holders pay all of the Company’s out-of-pocket expenses, with respect to such withdrawn registration.
f) Terms. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the Registrable Securities, including the reasonable expenses of one legal counsel selected by the Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities, but the Holders shall pay any and all underwriting commissions. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to qualify or register the Registrable Securities in such states as are reasonably requested by the Majority Holder(s); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to register the Registrable Securities in a state in which such registration would cause (i) the Company to be obligated to qualify to do business in such state, or would subject the Company to taxation as a foreign corporation doing business in such jurisdiction or (ii) the principal stockholders of the Company to be obligated to escrow their shares of the Company. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause any registration statement or post-effective amendment filed pursuant to the demand rights granted under Section 5(a) to remain effective for a period of nine (9) consecutive months from the effective date of such registration statement or post-effective amendment.

Section
6. Piggy-Back Registration Rights.
a) Piggy-Back Rights. If at any time during the five (5) year period commencing on the Commencement Date the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for stockholders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 5, other than a registration statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall 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 or underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an underwriter or underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.
b) Reduction of Offering. If the managing underwriter or underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock which the Company desires to sell, taken together with shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual arrangements with persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 6, and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company shall include in any such registration:
i. If the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (A) first, shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or other securities, if any, comprised of Registrable Securities, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the applicable written contractual piggy-back registration rights of such security holders, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares;
ii. Intentionally Omitted.
iii. If the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities, (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of the demanding persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), collectively the shares of Common Stock or other securities comprised of Registrable Securities, Pro Rata, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.
12
c) Withdrawal. Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a registration statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 6(d).
d) Terms. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the Registrable Securities, including the reasonable expenses of one legal counsel selected by the Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities but the Holders shall pay any and all underwriting commissions related to the Registrable Securities. In the event of such a proposed registration, the Company shall furnish the then Holders of outstanding Registrable Securities with not less than fifteen (15) days written notice prior to the proposed date of filing of such registration statement. Such notice to the Holders shall continue to be given for each applicable registration statement filed (during the period in which the Warrant is exercisable) by the Company until such time as all of the Registrable Securities have been registered and sold. The Holders of the Registrable Securities shall exercise the “piggy-back” rights provided for herein by giving written notice within ten days of the receipt of the Company’s notice of its intention to file a registration statement. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause any registration statement filed pursuant to the above “piggyback” rights to remain effective for at least nine (9) months from the date that the Holders of the Registrable Securities are first given the opportunity to sell all of such securities.
Section
7. Registration Rights General Terms.
a) Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Holder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to any registration statement hereunder and each person, if any, who controls such Holders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever whether arising out of any action between the underwriter and the Company or between the underwriter and any third party or otherwise) to which any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration statement but only to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify the underwriters contained in Section 8 of the Placement Agency Agreement (as defined below). The Holder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such registration statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from information furnished by or on behalf of such Holders, or their successors or assigns for specific inclusion in such registration statement or arising from any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement contained therein not misleading in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions contained in Section 8 of the Placement Agency Agreement pursuant to which the underwriters have agreed to indemnify the Company.
13
b) Exercise of Warrant. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as requiring the Holder(s) to exercise their Warrant prior to or after the initial filing of any registration statement or the effectiveness thereof.
c) Documents Delivered to Holders. The Company shall furnish WallachBeth, for as long as it is a Holder, as representative of the Holders participating in any of the foregoing offerings, a signed counterpart, addressed to the participating Holders, of (i) an opinion of counsel to the Company, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, an opinion dated the date of the closing under any underwriting agreement related thereto), and (ii) a “cold comfort” letter dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, a letter dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement) signed by the independent public accountants who have issued a report on the Company’s financial statements included in such registration statement, in each case covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of such accountants’ letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities. The Company shall also deliver promptly to WallachBeth, as representative of the Holders participating in the offering, the correspondence and memoranda described below and copies of all correspondence between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff with respect to the registration statement and permit WallachBeth, as representative of the Holders, to do such investigation, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information contained in or omitted from the registration statement as it deems reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities laws or rules of FINRA. Such investigation shall include access to books, records and properties and opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at such reasonable times and as often as WallachBeth, as representative of the Holders, shall reasonably request. The Company shall not be required to disclose any confidential information or other records to WallachBeth, as representative of the Holders, or to any other person, until and unless such persons shall have entered into reasonable confidentiality agreements (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company), with the Company with respect thereto.
d) Underwriting/Placement Agreement. The Company shall enter into a placement agency agreement with the placement agent(s), if any, selected by any Holders whose Registrable Securities are being registered pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6, which placement agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. Such agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, each Holder and such placement agent(s), and shall contain such representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and such other terms as are customarily contained in agreements of that type used by the placement agent. The Holders shall be parties to any placement agency agreement relating to a sale of their Registrable Securities and may, at their option, require that any or all the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company to or for the benefit of such placement agent(s) shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Holders. Such Holders shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the placement agent(s) except as they may relate to such Holders and their intended methods of distribution. Such Holders, however, shall agree to such covenants and indemnification and contribution obligations for selling stockholders as are customarily contained in agreements of that type used by the placement agent. Further, such Holders shall execute appropriate custody agreements and otherwise cooperate fully in the preparation of the registration statement and other documents relating to any offering in which they include securities pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6. Each Holder shall also furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities.
14
e) Rule 144 Sale. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation pursuant to Sections 5 or Section 6 to use its best efforts to obtain the registration of Registrable Securities held by any Holder (i) where such Holder would then be entitled to sell under Rule 144 within any three-month period (or such other period prescribed under Rule 144 as may be provided by amendment thereof) all of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder, or (ii) where the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder is within the volume limitations under paragraph (e) of Rule 144 (calculated as if such Holder were an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144).
f) Supplemental Prospectus. Each Holder agrees, that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus, and, if so desired by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of such destruction) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.
Section
8. Miscellaneous.
a)
No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights,
dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly
set forth in Section 3. Without limiting the rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise,” and to
receive the cash payments contemplated pursuant to Sections 2(d)(i) and 2(d)(iv), In no event, including if the Company is for any reason
unable to issue and deliver Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof, shall the Company
be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant or cash settle in any other form.
b)
Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares,
and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant,
shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the
Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant
or stock certificate.
c)
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required
or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business
Day.
15
d)
Authorized Shares.
The
Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a
sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.
The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with
the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all
such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof
(other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending
its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale
of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant,
but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary
or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise
immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof,
as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from
any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e)
Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed
by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts
of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York.
Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York,
Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby
or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is
not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient
venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any
such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery)
to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant,
the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’
fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
f)
Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and
the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
16
g)
Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall
operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision
of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material
damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting
any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
h)
Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without
limitation, any Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized

the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom
such notice is required to be given. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, where this Warrant provides for notice of any
event to the Holder, if this Warrant is held in global form by DTC (or any successor depositary), such notice shall be sufficiently given
if given to DTC (or any successor depositary) pursuant to the procedures of DTC (or such successor depositary), subject to a Holder’s
right to elect to receive a Warrant in certificated form, in which case this sentence shall not apply. To the extent that any notice
provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any subsidiaries, the Company
shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.
i)
Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant
to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of
the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company
or by creditors of the Company.
j)
Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will
be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate
compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to
assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
k)
Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns
of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall

be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining
provisions of this Warrant.
n)

PURCHASE AND SALE
2.1

On
the Closing Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to sell, and the Purchasers, severally
and not jointly, agree to purchase, up to an aggregate of $3,200,000 of Shares (or Pre-Funded Warrants). Each Purchaser’s Subscription
Amount as set forth on the signature page hereto executed by such Purchaser shall be made available for “Delivery Versus Payment”
settlement with the Company or its designee. The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser its respective Shares (or Pre-Funded Warrants)
as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(a), and the Company and each Purchaser shall deliver the other items set forth in Section 2.2 deliverable
at the Closing. Upon satisfaction of the covenants and conditions set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3, the Closing shall take place remotely
by electronic transfer of the Closing documentation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time on or after the
time of execution of this Agreement by the Company and an applicable Purchaser, through, and including the time immediately prior to
the Closing (the “Pre-Settlement Period”), such Purchaser sells to any Person all, or any portion, of the Shares to
be issued hereunder to such Purchaser at the Closing (collectively, the “Pre-Settlement Shares”), such Purchaser shall,
automatically hereunder (without any additional required actions by such Purchaser or the Company), be deemed to be unconditionally bound
to purchase, such Pre-Settlement Shares at the Closing; provided, that the Company shall not be required to deliver any Pre-Settlement
Shares to such Purchaser prior to the Company’s receipt of the purchase price of such Pre-Settlement Shares hereunder; and provided
further that the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the forgoing shall not constitute a representation or covenant by such Purchaser
as to whether or not during the Pre-Settlement Period such Purchaser shall sell any shares of Common Stock to any Person and that any
such decision to sell any shares of Common Stock by such Purchaser shall solely be made at the time such Purchaser elects to effect any
such sale, if any. Unless otherwise directed by the Placement Agent, settlement of the Shares shall occur via “Delivery Versus
Payment” (“DVP”) (i.e., on the Closing Date, the Company shall issue the Shares registered in the Purchasers’
names and addresses and released by the Transfer Agent directly to the account(s) at the Placement Agent identified by each Purchaser;
upon receipt of such Shares, the Placement Agent shall promptly electronically deliver such Shares to the applicable Purchaser, and payment
therefor shall be made by the Placement Agent (or its clearing firm) by wire transfer to the Company). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein and a Purchaser’s Subscription Amount set forth on the signature pages attached hereto, the number of Shares purchased
by a Purchaser (and its Affiliates) hereunder shall not, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such Purchaser
(and its Affiliates) at such time, result in such Purchaser beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act) in excess of 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock outstanding at the Closing (the “Beneficial
Ownership Maximum”), and such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount, to the extent it would otherwise exceed the Beneficial
Ownership Maximum immediately prior to the Closing, shall be conditioned upon the issuance of Shares at the Closing to the other Purchasers
signatory hereto. To the extent that a Purchaser’s beneficial ownership of the Shares would otherwise be deemed to exceed the Beneficial
Ownership Maximum, such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount shall automatically be reduced as necessary in order to comply with this
paragraph.

be deemed a part hereof and shall qualify any representation or otherwise made herein to the extent of the disclosure contained in the

and warranties to each Purchaser:
(a)
Subsidiaries. All of the direct and indirect significant subsidiaries (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X

other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good
standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned
by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and no material Proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction
revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit, or curtail such power and authority or qualification. For the purposes
of this Agreement, a “Material Adverse Effect” means (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity, or enforceability

that, in the case of clause (i), the following shall be deemed to constitute, alone or in combination, or be taken into account in the
determination of whether, there has been or will be a Material Adverse Effect: any actions taken or not taken by the Company as required
by this Agreement.

the Required Approvals. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have
been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and
binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable
principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement
of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief,

No Conflicts. The execution, delivery, and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to
which it is a party, the issuance and sale of the Securities, and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and

(iii), such as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation and the Company is
current in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such
electronic transfer.

to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement)
or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the
laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company
fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of
the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.

(x)
Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or
counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information which is not otherwise
disclosed in the Prospectus. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding
the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules
to this Agreement and the SEC Reports, is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.
(y)
No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2,
neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers
or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities
to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market
on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(aa)
Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt
by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds
the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known
contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its
business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements
of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii)
the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after
taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when
such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature
(taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any
facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization
laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. Schedule 3.1(aa) sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding
secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For

of $100,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other
contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection
or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $100,000 due
under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to

to permanent extensions (ii) has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or
determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for
the payment of all material taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are

or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.

the periods that the value of the Warrant Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities

of the Transaction Documents.

or makes any representation as to the Company or the quality of the Securities and the Placement Agent and any Affiliate may have acquired
non-public information with respect to the Company which such Purchaser agrees need not be provided to it. In connection with the issuance
of the Securities to such Purchaser, neither the Placement Agent nor any of its Affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary
to such Purchaser.

(f)
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has
not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, 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 such Purchaser
first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material
terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of
such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers
managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion
of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other
than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers,
directors, partners, legal, and other advisors, employees, agents, and Affiliates, such Purchaser 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 the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions,
with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
(g)
Information Regarding Purchaser. The Purchaser has provided the Company with true, complete, and correct information regarding
all applicable items set forth on the Purchaser’s signature page to this Agreement.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend, or affect such
Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations
and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection
with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of
doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing
shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

cover the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares or if the Warrant is exercised via cashless exercise, the Warrant Shares issued pursuant
to any such exercise shall be issued free of all legends. If at any time following the date hereof the Registration Statement (or any
subsequent registration statement registering the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares) is not effective or is not otherwise available
for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall immediately notify the holders of the Warrants in writing that such registration
statement is not then effective and thereafter shall promptly notify such holders when the registration statement is effective again
and available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not limit the ability
of the Company to issue, or any Purchaser to sell, any of the Warrant Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities
laws and that the issuance of any Warrant Shares that are issuable as a result of the operation of Section 3(b) of the Warrants are subject
to Stockholder Approval). The Company shall use best efforts to keep a registration statement (including the Registration Statement)
registering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares effective during the term of the Warrants.
4.2
Furnishing of Information. Until the earlier of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the Warrants have expired,
the Company covenants to timely file (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 the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act except in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, a merger
or reorganization of the Company with one or more other entities in which the Company is not the surviving entity or any transaction
or series of related transactions as a result of which any Person (together with its Affiliates) acquires then outstanding securities
of the Company representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting control of the Company.
19
4.3
Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security
(as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or that would be integrated with the offer or

prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
4.4
Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall (a) by the Disclosure Time, issue a press release disclosing the material
terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits

represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, or agents in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective upon the issuance of such press release, the Company acknowledges
and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company,
any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, or Affiliates on the one hand, and any of
the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate and be no further force and effect. The Company shall not
publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory
agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as required by federal securities law in connection
with the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading
Market or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior
notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (ii).
4.5
Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting
on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes
constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have consented in writing to the receipt of such
information and agreed in writing with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each
Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company,
any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates delivers any material, non-public
information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall
not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees,
Affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of
their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, not to trade
on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent
that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the
Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously with the delivery of such notice file such notice with the Commission pursuant
to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant
in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
4.6
Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company will reserve on or prior to the Closing Date and the Company shall
continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the
purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.
4.7
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that
neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including
Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at
such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as
described in Section 4.3. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time
as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described
in Section 4.3, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction (other than as
disclosed to its legal and other representatives).
20
4.8
Use of Proceeds. Except as set forth in the Prospectus, the Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities
hereunder for working capital purposes and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s
debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), or the debt of
any officer, director, or executive management of the Company, or any sponsor, general partner, manager, or advisor or any of the Company’s
affiliates, (b) for the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation
or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulation.
4.9
Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.9, the Company will indemnify and hold each
Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally
equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such
Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders,
agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding
a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any
and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in
settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or
incur as a result of or relating to (a) any material breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by
the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any
capacity (including a Purchaser Party’s status as an investor), or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by the Company or
any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, arising out of or relating to any of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification provided herein is intended to, and shall
also cover, direct claims brought by the Company against the Purchaser Parties; provided, however, that such indemnification shall not
cover any loss, claim, damage or liability to the extent it is finally judicially determined to be attributable to any Purchaser Party’s
breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in any Transaction Document or
any conduct by a Purchaser Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The Company will also indemnify each Purchaser Party, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses, as incurred,
arising out of or relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement, any
prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or
relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
(in the case of any prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except
to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Purchaser
Party furnished in writing to the Company by such Purchaser Party expressly for use therein, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation
by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder in connection
therewith. If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement,
such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and, except with respect to direct claims brought by the Company,
the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser
Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment
thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to
assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the applicable Purchaser
Party (which may be internal counsel), a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position
of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the actual and documented reasonable fees and expenses of
no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement for any settlement
by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
In addition, if any Purchaser Party takes actions to collect amounts due under any Transaction Documents or to enforce the provisions
of any Transaction Documents, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by such Purchaser Party for such collection, enforcement
or action, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and disbursements. The indemnification and other payment obligations
required by this Section 4.9 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation, defense,
collection, enforcement or action, as and when bills are received or are incurred; provided, that if any Purchaser Party is finally judicially
determined not to be entitled to indemnification or payment under this Section 4.9, such Purchaser Party shall promptly (but in no event
later than five (5) Business Days) reimburse the Company for any payments that are advanced under this sentence. The indemnity agreements
contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and
any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
21
4.10
Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the
Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and prior to the Closing, the Company shall have applied to list
or quote all of the Shares and the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants on such Trading Market and
promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares and the maximum number of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market,
it will then include in such application all of the Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares
to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary
to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s
reporting, filing, and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established
clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established
clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer except in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company, a merger or reorganization of the Company with one or more other entities in which the Company is not the surviving entity
or any transaction or series of related transactions as a result of which any Person (together with its Affiliates) acquires then outstanding
securities of the Company representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting control of the Company.
4.11
Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of this any Transaction Documents) shall be offered
or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any Transaction Documents unless the same consideration
is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted
to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers
as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition,
or voting of Securities or otherwise.
4.12
Subsequent Equity Sales.
(a)
From the date hereof until 30 days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (i) issue, enter into any agreement
to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or (ii) file any registration
statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, other than the Prospectus or as contemplated pursuant to Section 4.17 herein, supplements
or amendments to registration statements or supplements previously filed (so long as no new securities are being registered or issued
thereby) or filing a registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with any employee benefit plan.
22
(b)
From the date hereof until 3 months after the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from entering into an agreement to effect
any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof)
involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues
or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional
shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies
with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity
securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial
issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the
business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including,
but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price regardless of whether
shares pursuant to such agreement have actually been issued and regardless of whether such agreement is subsequently canceled, provided,
however, that, following the expiration of the restrictive period set forth in Section 4.12(a) above, the entry into and/or issuance
of shares of Common Stock in an “at the market” offering shall not be deemed a Variable Rate Transaction. Any Purchaser shall
be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right
to collect damages.
(c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction
shall be an Exempt Issuance.
4.13
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that
neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including
Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at
such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as
described in Section 4.3. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time
as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described
in Section 4.3, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information
included in the Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty, or covenant hereby that it will
not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.3, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted
or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and
after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release
as described in Section 4.3, and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities
of the Company to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents
after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser
that is a multi- managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets
and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions
of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the
portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
4.14
Intentionally Omitted
4.15
Exercise Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures required
of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required
of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required,
nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required in order to
exercise the Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms,
conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.
4.16
Blue Sky Filings. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain
an exemption for, or to qualify the Warrant and Warrant Shares for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities
or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of
any Purchaser.
23
4.17
Reserved.
4.18
Lock-Up. The Company shall not amend, modify, waive, or terminate any provision of any of the Lock- Up Agreements except to extend
the term of the lock-up period and shall enforce the provisions of each Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with its terms. If any officer
or director of the Company that is a party to a Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Lock-Up Agreement, the Company shall promptly
use its commercially reasonable best efforts to seek specific performance of the terms of such Lock-Up Agreement.

and (ii) the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares initially issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any, based on the initial Subscription
Amounts hereunder (or, prior to the Closing, the Company and each Purchaser) or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement
of any such waived provision is sought, provided that if any amendment, modification, or waiver disproportionately and adversely
impacts a Purchaser (or multiple Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Purchaser (or multiple Purchasers) shall
also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition, or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed
to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition, or requirement
hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser

Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities
and the Company.
5.6
Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to

exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the courts of the State of New York and of the United States of America sitting in the City and County of New York, for the adjudication
of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect
to the enforcement of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in
any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding
is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents
to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery
(with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service

way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any
provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing
party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation, and prosecution

5.11
Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one

it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery
of a “.pdf” format data file, or by electronic signature (including DocuSign), such signature shall create a valid and binding
obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf”
or electronic signature page were an original thereof.
5.12
Severability. If any term, provision, covenant, or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, illegal, void, or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants, and restrictions set forth herein
shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their
commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that
contemplated by such term, provision, covenant, or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties
that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void, or unenforceable.
5.13
Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions
of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand, or option under a Transaction
Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may
rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand, or election
in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
5.14
Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed,
the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation),
or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also
pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15
Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages,
each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that
monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction
Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that
a remedy at law would be adequate.
26
5.16
Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document
or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise
or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by,
or are required to be refunded, repaid, or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law, or equitable cause of action), then to the extent
of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force
and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.17
Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document
are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance
or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as
a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way
acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each
Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of
this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional
party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation
of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to
communicate with the Company through the legal counsel of the Placement Agent. The legal counsel of the Placement Agent does not represent
any of the Purchasers and only represents the Placement Agent. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms
and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers.
It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between
the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.18
Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation
of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid amounts due and owing have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument
or security pursuant to which such amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.
5.19
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required
or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business
Day.
5.20
Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise
the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against
the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each
and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse
and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the
date of this Agreement.
5.21
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY,
THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY,
IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

About
CyPath® Lung
CyPath®
Lung by bioAffinity Technologies is a noninvasive test designed to improve the early detection of lung cancer in patients at high risk
for the disease. CyPath® Lung uses advanced flow cytometry and proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) to identify cell
populations in patient sputum that indicate malignancy. CyPath® Lung incorporates a fluorescent porphyrin that is preferentially
taken up by cancer and cancer-related cells. In a published clinical trial of high-risk patients, CyPath® Lung
demonstrated 92% sensitivity, 87% specificity, 88% accuracy and 99% negative predictive value (NPV) in detecting lung cancer in patients
at high risk for the disease who had small indeterminate lung nodules less than 20 millimeters. The high NPV gives physicians greater
confidence that a negative result is truly negative, potentially sparing patients from unnecessary invasive and costly procedures. CyPath®
Lung is marketed as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) and is not intended for use as a sole diagnostic tool and should be considered
alongside other clinical findings.

reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Such forward-looking statements are based on facts and conditions as they exist at the time such statements
