Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Private Offering
On May 4, 2026, CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the
“Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with institutional investors
(the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Investors purchased in a private placement: (i) 650,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $2.30 per share; and (ii) pre-funded warrants
to purchase 9,143,479 shares of the Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) at a purchase price of $2.299 per Pre-Funded
Warrant (the “Offering”).
Subject to certain ownership limitations, the
Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance into one share of Common Stock at an exercise price per share of $0.001
(as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof) and expire once such Pre-Funded Warrant is fully exercised. The holder
of a Pre-Funded Warrant is prohibited from exercising any Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in the number
of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates exceeding 4.99% (or 9.99% as applicable) of the total number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, which percentage may be increased or decreased
at the holder’s election not to exceed 9.99%.
The closing of the Offering is expected to occur
on May 5, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), subject to customary closing conditions. The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering
will be approximately $22.5 million, before deducting the Placement Agent’s fees and other offering expenses. The Company intends
to use the net proceeds from the Offering to identify, acquire, and advance new assets and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the
Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) and agreed to file a registration statement
(the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Common Stock and the Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants,
within 15 days following the Closing Date, and to use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by
the SEC within 60 days from the filing date of the Registration Statement (or 90 days from the filing date if the SEC reviews the Registration
Statement).
With limited exceptions, the Company has agreed
not to enter into or announce any transaction for the sale of any of its equity securities or securities convertible into its equity securities
for a period of 120 days from the effective date of the Registration Statement. In addition, the Company has agreed not to effect or enter
into an agreement to effect any issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares
of Common Stock involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Agreement) until one year after the Closing Date; provided that
after 120 days from the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company will be permitted to make sales under its existing “at-the-market
offering” sales agreement.
The Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants issued
in the Offering and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants were offered in a private placement under
Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder
and have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.
On May 4, 2026, the Company entered into a placement
agency agreement (the “Placement Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant
to which the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent an aggregate cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company
from the sale of the securities in the transaction. The Company also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for up to $75,000 for the
Placement Agent’s fees and expenses and up to $15,000 for non-accountable expenses.
The forms of the Securities Purchase Agreement,
the Registration Rights Agreement, the Placement Agreement, and the Pre-Funded Warrant are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 1.1, and 4.1,
respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing summaries of the terms of these documents are subject to, and qualified

CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Attention: Rami Levin

Houston, Texas
Dear Mr. Levin:
This letter (the “Agreement”)
constitutes the agreement between A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.” or the “Placement Agent”)
and CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), that the Placement Agent shall serve as the exclusive
placement agent for the Company, on a reasonable “best efforts” basis, in connection with the proposed placement (the “Placement”)
of (i) shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”),
and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants” and together with the Shares, the “Securities”)
to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”). The Securities actually placed by the Placement
Agent are referred to herein as the “Placement Agent Securities.” The terms of the Placement shall be mutually agreed
upon by the Company and the purchasers of the Securities (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”),
and nothing herein constitutes that the Placement Agent would have the power or authority to bind the Company or any Purchaser, or an
obligation for the Company to issue any Securities or complete the Placement. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Placement
Agent’s obligations hereunder are on a reasonable “best efforts” basis only and that the execution of this Agreement
does not constitute a commitment by the Placement Agent to purchase the Securities and does not ensure the successful placement of the
Securities or any portion thereof or the success of the Placement Agent with respect to securing any other financing on behalf of the
Company. The Securities shall be offered and sold in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation
D promulgated thereunder. The Placement Agent may retain other brokers or dealers to act as sub-agents or selected dealers on its behalf
in connection with the Placement. Certain affiliates of the Placement Agent may participate in the Placement by purchasing some of the
Placement Agent Securities. The sale of Placement Agent Securities to any Purchaser will be evidenced by a securities purchase agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and such Purchaser, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and
the Purchaser. Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
Prior to the signing of any Purchase Agreement, officers of the Company will be available to answer inquiries from the prospective Purchasers.
The Placement Agent may retain other brokers or dealers to act as sub-agents or selected-dealers on its behalf in connection with the
Placement.
SECTION 1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY; COVENANTS
OF THE COMPANY.
A. Representations of the
Company. With respect to the Placement Agent Securities, each of the representations and warranties (together with any related disclosure
schedules thereto) and covenants made by the Company to the Purchasers in the Purchase Agreement in connection with the Placement, is
hereby incorporated herein by reference into this Agreement (as though fully restated herein) and is, as of the date of this Agreement
and as of the date of the sale of the Placement Agent Securities (the “Closing Date”), hereby made to, and in favor
of, the Placement Agent, as applicable. In addition to the foregoing, the Company represents and warrants that (i) there are no affiliations
with any Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) member firm among the Company’s officers, directors
or, to the knowledge of the Company, any five percent (5.0%) or greater stockholder of the Company, except as set forth in the Purchase
Agreement; (ii) neither the Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any Person acting on its behalf (other than the Placement Agent,
as to which no representation is made) has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Rule
502(c) under the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities; (iii) no registration under the Securities Act
is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, and the
issuance and sale of the Securities is exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation
D promulgated thereunder; (iv) the Company is eligible to register the resale of the Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares on Form
S-3 under the Securities Act and is not aware of any fact or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay
the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement; and (v) neither
the Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any Covered Person (as that term is used in Rule 506(d) under the Securities Act) is
subject to any Disqualification Event (as defined in Rule 506(d) under the Securities Act) that would disqualify the Company from relying
on Rule 506 under the Securities Act for the offer and sale of the Securities. The Purchasers shall be third-party beneficiary of the
representations and warranties of the Company in subsections (ii)-(v) in this Section 1.A.
1
B. Covenants of the Company.
The Company covenants and agrees to continue to retain (i) a firm of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board independent registered
public accountants for a period of at least two (2) years after the Closing Date and (ii) a reputable transfer agent with respect to the
Common Stock for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date, provided in each case that the Company is then subject to the reporting
requirement of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Furthermore, except as set forth
below, from the date hereof until one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Effective Date, without the prior written consent of the
Placement Agent, 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 amendment or supplement
thereto, other than filing the registration statement as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and a registration statement
on Form S-8 in connection with any employee benefit plan; provided, however, such restrictions shall not apply with respect to an Exempt
Issuance as defined in the Purchase Agreement; provided that (i) the issuance of securities pursuant to subsection (c) of the definition
of Exempt Issuance shall be limited to such convertible securities as have been disclosed in the SEC Reports; and (ii) the issuance of
securities pursuant to subsection (d) of the definition of Exempt Issuance shall be limited to issuances only 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. In addition,
from the date hereof until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall not effect or enter into an agreement to effect
any issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents involving an at-the-market offering or Variable Rate Transaction (as defined
in the Purchase Agreement). No Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing on the
120th day following the Effective Date, the Company will be permitted to make any sales under any “at-the-market offering”
sales agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners. The Company agrees that if all or any portion of a Pre-Funded Warrant is exercised
at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, or if such Pre-Funded
Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule
144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant), or if the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the
requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Pre-Funded Warrant
Shares or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations
and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Pre-Funded Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The
Company shall not, prior to the Closing Date, and shall not, for so long as required to preserve the availability of the exemption from
registration under the Securities Act relied upon for the offer and sale of the Securities, directly or indirectly 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 sale of the Securities for purposes of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
including Regulation D. The Company shall file with the Commission a notice on Form D with respect to the offer and sale of the Securities
as required under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, within the time period required by such Regulation D, and shall provide
a copy of such Form D to the Purchasers promptly upon filing. The Purchasers shall be third-party beneficiary of the covenants of the
Company in the preceding three sentences.
SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PLACEMENT
AGENT. The Placement Agent represents and warrants that it (i) is a member in good standing of FINRA, (ii) is registered as a broker/dealer
under the Exchange Act, (iii) is licensed as a broker/dealer under the laws of the United States of America applicable to the offers and
sales of the Placement Agent Securities by the Placement Agent, (iv) is and will be a corporate body validly existing under the laws of
its place of incorporation, and (v) has full power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Placement
Agent will immediately notify the Company in writing of any change in its status with respect to subsections (i) through (v) above. The
Placement Agent covenants that it will use its reasonable best efforts to conduct the Placement hereunder in compliance with the provisions
of this Agreement and the requirements of applicable law.
SECTION 3. COMPENSATION. In consideration
of the services to be provided for hereunder, the Company shall pay to the Placement Agent and/or its respective designees a cash fee
of 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from the sale of the Placement Agent Securities. The Placement Agent reserves the right
to reduce any item of compensation or adjust the terms thereof as specified herein in the event that a determination shall be made by
FINRA to the effect that the Placement Agent’s aggregate compensation is in excess of FINRA Rules or that the terms thereof require
adjustment.
SECTION 3A. TAIL FEE. Following the Termination
Date (as defined below), the Placement Agent shall be entitled to compensation under Section 3, calculated in the manner set forth therein,
with respect to any public or private offering or other financing or capital-raising transaction of any kind, but excluding the exercise
of any Pre-Funded Warrants in the Placement (“Tail Financing”) to the extent that such financing is both (i) provided
to the Company by investors that were contacted by the Placement Agent or directly or indirectly introduced by the Placement Agent to
the Company; and (ii) such Tail Financing is consummated at any time within the six (6) month period following the Termination Date. Within
five (5) days of the earlier of the Closing and the Termination Date, the Placement Agent will provide to the Company a list of investors
whom the Placement Agent has contacted or introduced to the Company in connection with the Placement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the compensation due hereunder shall expressly not include any stock or equity of the Company issued to its officers,
directors, employees, consultants, nor shall it include any securities issued to holders of the Company’s currently outstanding
options or warrants upon exercise thereof.
2
SECTION 4. EXPENSES. The Company agrees
to pay all costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder and in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation: (i) all expenses incident to the issuance, delivery and qualification
of the Placement Agent Securities (including all printing and engraving costs); (ii) all fees and expenses of the registrar and transfer
agent of the Shares; (iii) all necessary issue, transfer and other stamp taxes in connection with the issuance and sale of the Placement
Agent Securities; (iv) all fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel, independent public or certified public accountants and other
advisors; (v) all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, printing, filing, shipping and distribution of the Registration
Statement (including financial statements, exhibits, schedules, consents and certificates of experts), Preliminary Prospectus and the
Prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto, and this Agreement; (vi) all filing fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses incurred by the Company in connection with qualifying or registering (or obtaining exemptions from the qualification or registration
of) all or any part of the Placement Agent Securities for offer and sale under the state securities or blue sky laws or the securities
laws of any other country; (vii) the fees and expenses associated with including the Placement Agent Securities on the Trading Market;
(viii) up to $75,000 for the reasonable, documented, and accountable expenses related to legal fees of counsel to the Placement Agent
specifically incurred in connection with the Placement; and (ix) non-accountable expenses in an amount of not more than $15,000; provided,
that this sentence in no way limits or impairs the indemnification or contribution provisions contained herein. The Placement Agent reserves
the right to reduce any item of compensation or adjust the terms thereof as specified herein in the event that a determination shall be
made by FINRA to the effect that the Placement Agent’s aggregate compensation is in excess of FINRA Rules or that the terms thereof
require adjustment.
SECTION 5. INDEMNIFICATION.
A. To the extent permitted by
law, with respect to the Placement Agent Securities, the Company will indemnify the Placement Agent and its affiliates, stockholders,
directors, officers, employees, members, counsel and controlling persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act) (each such person, an “Indemnified Person”) against all losses, claims, damages, expenses and
liabilities, as the same are incurred (including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel) (“Claims”),
relating to or arising out of its activities hereunder, its status, title or role as Placement Agent, pursuant to this Agreement, except
to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) are found in a final judgment
(not subject to appeal) by a court of law to have resulted from the Placement Agent’s fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence,
recklessness, or violation of law or insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or omission or alleged
untrue statement or omission in disclosure in the SEC Reports or the registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement,
preliminary prospectus or the prospectus furnished to the Company in writing by the Placement Agent expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding
anything set forth herein to the contrary, the Company agrees to indemnify the Placement Agent and its counsel, Sullivan & Worcester
LLP, to the fullest extent set forth in this Section 5, against any and all claims asserted by any person or entity alleging that the
Placement Agent was not permitted or entitled to act as a placement agent herein, or that the Company was not permitted to hire or retain
the Placement Agent herein, including but not limited to any claims arising out of any purported right of first refusal another person
or entity claims to have to act as a placement agent or any similar role with respect to the Company or its securities.
B. Promptly after receipt by
the Placement Agent of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which the Placement Agent is
entitled to indemnity hereunder, the applicable Placement Agent will notify the Company in writing of such claim or of the commencement
of such action or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any obligation it may have hereunder,
except and only to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by the Company of substantial rights and defenses. If the Company
so elects or is requested by the Placement Agent, the Company will assume the defense of such action or proceeding and will employ counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Placement Agent and will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, the Placement Agent will be entitled to employ its own counsel separate from counsel for the Company and from
any other party in such action if counsel for the Placement Agent reasonably determines that it would be inappropriate under the applicable
rules of professional responsibility for the same counsel to represent both the Company and the Placement Agent. In such event, the reasonable
and documented fees and disbursements of no more than one (1) such separate counsel will be paid by the Company, in addition to fees of
local counsel. The Company will have the right to settle the claim or proceeding, provided that the Company will not settle any such claim,
action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless
such settlement provides for an unconditional and irrevocable release of the Indemnified Persons from any and all liability arising out
of such claim or proceeding.
3
C. The Company agrees to notify
the Placement Agent promptly of the assertion against it or any other person of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding
relating to a transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
D. If for any reason the foregoing
indemnity is unavailable to the Placement Agent or insufficient to hold the Placement Agent harmless, then the Company shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by the Placement Agent as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other,
but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other that resulted in such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The amounts paid or payable by a party in respect of losses,
claims, damages and liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees and expenses incurred in defending
any litigation, proceeding or other action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, the Placement Agent’s share of the liability
hereunder shall not be in excess of the amount of fees actually received, or to be received, by the Placement Agent under this Agreement.
E. These indemnification provisions
shall remain in full force and effect whether or not the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is completed and shall survive the
termination of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have to any indemnified party
under this Agreement or otherwise.
SECTION 6. ENGAGEMENT TERM. The Placement
Agent’s engagement hereunder will be until the earlier of (i) May 19, 2026, and (ii) the Closing Date (such earlier date, the “Termination
Date”). In the event, however, in the course of the Placement Agent’s performance of due diligence it deems it necessary
to terminate the engagement, the Placement Agent may do so prior to the Termination Date. The Company may elect to terminate the engagement
hereunder for any reason prior to the Termination Date but will remain responsible for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 3 and Section
4 hereof and fees and expenses with respect to the Placement Agent Securities, if sold in the Placement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the provisions concerning the Company’s obligation to pay any fees or expenses actually earned pursuant
to Section 3 and Section 4 hereof and the provisions concerning confidentiality, indemnification and contribution, no fiduciary duty and
governing law (including the waiver of the right to trial by jury) contained herein will survive any expiration or termination of this
Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the completion of the Placement, all fees or expenses due to the Placement Agent shall
be paid by the Company to the Placement Agent on or before the Termination Date (in the event such fees or expenses are earned or owed
as of the Termination Date). The Placement Agent agrees not to use any confidential information concerning the Company provided to the
Placement Agent by the Company for any purposes other than those contemplated under this Agreement.
SECTION 7. PLACEMENT AGENT INFORMATION.
The Company agrees that any information or advice rendered by the Placement Agent in connection with this engagement is for the confidential
use of the Company only in their evaluation of the Placement and, except as otherwise required by law, the Company will not disclose or
otherwise refer to the advice or information in any manner without the Placement Agent’s prior written consent.
SECTION 8. NO FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP. This
Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating rights enforceable by any person or entity not a party hereto, except
those entitled hereto by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent
is not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary of the Company and shall have no duties or liabilities to the equity holders or the creditors
of the Company or any other person by virtue of this Agreement or the retention of the Placement Agent hereunder, all of which are hereby
expressly waived.
4
SECTION 9. CLOSING. The obligations of
the Placement Agent, and the closing of the sale of the Placement Agent Securities hereunder, are subject to the accuracy, when made and
on the Closing Date, of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company contained herein and in the Purchase Agreement,
to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and in the Purchase Agreement, and to each of the following additional
terms and conditions, except as otherwise disclosed to and acknowledged and waived by the Placement Agent:

the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and
their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any right to trial by jury with respect to any dispute arising under this Agreement
or any transaction or conduct in connection herewith is waived. Any dispute arising under this Agreement may be brought into the courts

not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or a .pdf format file, such signature

EX-4.1
Filename: cns_ex0401.htm · Sequence: 3
Exhibit 4.1
NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES FOR
WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY
STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”),
AND, ACCORDINGLY, NEITHER MAY BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT
TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE
WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION
WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
FORM
OF PRE-FUNDED COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
CNS
PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
Warrant Shares: [__]
Initial Exercise Date: [__], 2026
Issue Date: [__], 2026
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 CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”),
up to [__] shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) (as subject to adjustment hereunder,
the “Warrant Shares”). 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 [__], 2026, among the Company and each purchaser
signatory thereto.
Section 2.
Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant.
Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial
Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail
attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto 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 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 this 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. For the avoidance
of doubt, there is no circumstance that would require the Company to net cash settle this Warrant.
b) Exercise Price.
The aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except for a nominal exercise price of $0.001 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 $0.001
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 Warrant Share under this Warrant shall be $0.001, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
1
c) Cashless Exercise.
This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled
to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A)
=
as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) 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 Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;
(B)
=
the Exercise Price, 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 this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section
2(c), except to the extent required by applicable law, rules, or regulations.
“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 (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 and OTCQB or OTCQX, as applicable, is not a Trading Market, the VWAP of the Common Stock
for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX, as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for
trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency
succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other
cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders
of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall
be paid by the Company.
“Trading Day”
means any day on which the Trading Market is open for trading, including any day on which the Trading Market is open for trading for a
period of time less than the customary time.
2
“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 (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, and OTCQB or OTCQX, as applicable, is not a Trading Market, the volume
weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX, as applicable, (c) if the
Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and 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.
d) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery of Warrant
Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the
Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through
its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A)
there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder
or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate representing the Warrant
Shares, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares set
forth in the Notice of Exercise to the address specified by the Holder in such Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of
(i) one (1) Trading Day after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate
Exercise Price to the Company, and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the
Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise,
the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which
this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received 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 third 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 (which may be the
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 9:00 a.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, or cause
to be delivered, 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. 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 will be less than the
amount stated on the face hereof.
3
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, 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 that 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 Warrant Shares 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
this 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 shares of 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 this 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 that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall round up to the next
whole share of Common Stock.
vi. Charges, Taxes and
Expenses. The issuance and delivery 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 that 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 (i) the Holder’s Affiliates, (ii) any other Persons acting as a
group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates, and (iii) any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common
Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for the purposes of determination of beneficial ownership pursuant to Section 13(d)
and Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act (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 Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Warrant Shares that 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 this Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation, except to the extent the Holder has detrimentally relied on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock that was provided
in writing 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 this 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 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 [4.99/9.99]%
of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
The Holder, upon 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 Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect
to the issuance of Warrant Shares 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 not 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) that 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. To the extent that this Warrant
is unexercisable as a result of the Holder’s Beneficial Ownership Limitation, no alternate consideration is owing to the Holder.
5
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 Warrant Shares 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 remains 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) Reserved.
c) Subsequent Rights Offerings.
In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents
or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to 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 that 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).
d) 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 on 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
e) 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 in which the Company is not the surviving entity, (ii) the Company,
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 more than 50% of the voting
power of the common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification,
reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively
converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization,
recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group
acquires more than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”),
then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without
regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”)
receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant).
For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate
Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction,
and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value
of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash
or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. 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(e) 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 that
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 that 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 that is reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to the Holder. 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 and the other Transaction
Documents 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 and the other Transaction Documents with the
same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
f) 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
g) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise
Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to
the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant
Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise
by Holder. If, while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company declares a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form)
on the Common Stock, (B) the Company declares a special nonrecurring cash dividend on, or a redemption of, the Common Stock, (C) the Company
authorizes the granting to all holders of shares of 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 is required in connection with a Fundamental
Transaction, or (E) the Company authorizes the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company,
then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the
Warrant Register of the Company, at least five (5) Trading 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 shares of 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
shares of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of 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; and provided, further, that no notice shall be required if the information is disseminated in a press release or a document filed
with the Commission. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any of its 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 on which the Common Stock is then listed, 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 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 on the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the
Company assigning this Warrant in full. This 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. Subject
to compliance with applicable securities laws, 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 that 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 Issue Date
and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
8
c) Warrant Register.
The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”),
in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the
absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual
notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer Restrictions.
If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not
be (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue
sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant
to Rule 144, the Company shall cause Company Counsel to provide an opinion of counsel, the form and substance of which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the transferor, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act. As
a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Warrant.
e) Representation by the
Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof,
will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling
such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, except pursuant to
sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section 5.Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder
Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as
a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.
Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to
receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) or 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an
exercise of this Warrant.
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction
or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft
or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of this 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,
during the period this Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number
of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares underlying 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 this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares
may be issued and delivered 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 that may be issued and delivered upon
the exercise of this Warrant will, upon exercise of 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
will (i) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock 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 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use best 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 that
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. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase
Agreement, if the Company fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, 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 hereunder 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 (without posting a bond or other security). 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. Remedies provided for in this Warrant
or any other Transaction Document shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, any other Transaction
Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).
10
k) Successors and Assigns.
Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and
be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions
of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder
or holder of Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment. This
Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
m) Severability. Wherever
possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if
any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
n) Headings. The headings
used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
o) Currency. All dollar
amounts referred to in this Warrant are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”). All amounts owing under this Warrant
shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies shall be converted in the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in
accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency
to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Warrant, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal (New
York edition) on the relevant date of calculation.
p) Exercise Procedures.
The form of Notice of Exercise included herein sets forth the totality of the procedures required of the Holder in order to exercise this
Warrant. No additional legal opinion, other information, or instructions shall be required of the Holder to exercise this Warrant. 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 this Warrant. The Company shall honor exercises
of this Warrant and shall deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions, and time periods set forth herein and in the
other Transaction Documents.
q) No Avoidance. The
Company shall not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but shall at all times in good faith assist
in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect
the Holder’s rights hereunder against impairment.
r) Listing. The Company
shall use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed,
and shall promptly secure the listing of all Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant 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 include in such application
all Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary free and clear of any Liens, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock or equity interests, as applicable, of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free

extra-provincial corporation, partnership, company or limited liability company in each jurisdiction in which the character or
location of its properties (owned, leased or licensed) or the nature or conduct of its business makes such qualification necessary,
except for those failures to be so qualified or in good standing which (individually and in the aggregate) would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. No 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. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation nor default of
any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter

or similar right that entitles any person to acquire from the Company any Common Stock or other security of the Company or any

or reset price under any of such securities. There are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company with any provision

compliance with all federal and state securities laws where applicable, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation
of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. Except for the Required Approvals, no further
approval or authorization of any shareholder, the Board of Directors or others is required for the issuance and sale of Securities.
Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, there are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with
respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among
any of the Company’s stockholders.

accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved, except as may
be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not
contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended,

circumstance, occurrence or development has occurred or exists or is reasonably expected to occur or exist with respect to the
Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, prospects, properties, operations, assets or financial condition that

an “Action”) that (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the
Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) would, if there were an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(m), neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any
director or executive officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under
federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, which could result in a Material Adverse Effect. There has

contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or
agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does
not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and
its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to
employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in

protection, occupational health and safety, product quality and safety and employment and labor matters, except in each case of (i),
(ii) and (iii) as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(p) Environmental
Law. There has been no storage, generation, transportation, handling, use, treatment, disposal, discharge, emission,
contamination, release or other activity involving any kind of hazardous, toxic or other wastes, pollutants, contaminants, petroleum
products or other hazardous or toxic substances, chemicals or materials (“Hazardous Substances”) by, due to, on
behalf of, or caused by the Company or any Subsidiary (or, to the Company’s knowledge, any other entity for whose acts or
omissions the Company is or may be liable) upon any property now or previously owned, operated, used or leased by the Company or any
Subsidiary, or upon any other property, that would be a violation of or give rise to any liability under any applicable law, rule,
regulation, order, judgment, decree or permit, common law provision or other legally binding standard relating to pollution or
protection of human health and the environment (“Environmental Law”), except for violations and liabilities
which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no disposal, discharge, emission,
contamination or other release of any kind at, onto or from any such property or into the environment surrounding any such property
of any Hazardous Substances with respect to which the Company or any Subsidiary has knowledge, except as would not, individually or
in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no pending or, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, threatened
administrative, regulatory or judicial action, claim or notice of noncompliance or violation, investigation or proceedings relating
to any Environmental Law against the Company or any Subsidiary, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, no property of the Company or any Subsidiary is subject to
any Lien under any Environmental Law, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary is subject to any order, decree, agreement or other individualized legal requirement related to any
Environmental Law, that, in any case (individually or in the aggregate), would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each
Subsidiary has all permits, authorizations and approvals required under any applicable Environmental Laws and are each in compliance
with their requirements, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. In the ordinary
course of its business, the Company periodically reviews the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties
of the Company and the Subsidiaries and identifies and evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation,
any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure or remediation of properties or compliance with Environmental
Laws, or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third
parties). On the basis of such review, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
12
(q) Title to
Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them and
good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property
and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries and
(ii) Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in accordance
with GAAP and, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities currently held
under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the
Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects.
(r) Regulatory
Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate
federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC
Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect
(“Material Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating
to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.
(s) Intellectual
Property. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, to the Company’s knowledge, the Company and the Subsidiaries have, or
have rights to use (or can acquire on reasonable terms), all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications,
service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar
rights necessary or required for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the
failure to so have would have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). None
of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual Property
Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from
the date of this Agreement except where the failure to be in compliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest financial statements included within the
SEC Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe
upon the rights of any Person, or is aware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim, except as would not
have or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property
Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The
Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of
their intellectual properties except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in their
respective businesses has been obtained or is being used by the Company or such Subsidiary in violation of any contractual
obligation binding on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or in violation of the rights of any Person. The Company and its
Subsidiaries have taken all reasonable steps in accordance with normal industry practice to protect and maintain the Intellectual
Property Rights including, without limitation, the execution of appropriate nondisclosure and invention assignment agreements. The
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in the loss or impairment of, or payment of, any
additional amounts with respect to, nor require the consent of, any other Person regarding the Company’s or any of its
Subsidiaries’ right to own or use any of the Intellectual Property Rights as owned or used in the conduct of such
party’s business as currently conducted. To the knowledge of the Company and its Subsidiaries, no employee of any of the
Company or its Subsidiaries is the subject of any pending claim or proceeding involving a violation of any term of any employment
contract, invention disclosure agreement, patent disclosure agreement, noncompetition agreement, non-solicitation agreement,
nondisclosure agreement or restrictive covenant to or with a former employer, where the basis of such violation relates to such
employee’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries or actions undertaken by the employee while employed with the
Company or its Subsidiaries. The Company has no knowledge of any facts that would preclude it from having valid license rights or
clear title to the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company has no knowledge that it lacks or will be unable to obtain any rights
or licenses to use all Intellectual Property Rights that are necessary to conduct its business.
13
(t) Insurance.
The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in
such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including, but
not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the aggregate Subscription Amount. Neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such
coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a
significant increase in cost.
(u) Transactions With
Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(u), none of the executive officers or directors of the Company or
any Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary is presently a party to
any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, executive officers and directors),
including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of
real or personal property to or from, providing for the borrowing of money from or lending of money to or otherwise requiring
payments to or from any executive officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any
executive officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee, stockholder,
member or partner, in each case in excess of $120,000 other than for (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered,
(ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company or a Subsidiary and (iii) other employee benefits, including stock
option agreements under any stock option or omnibus incentive plan of the Company.
(v) Sarbanes-Oxley;
Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable requirements of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder,
except as disclosed in the SEC Reports. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls
sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity
with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at
reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company and the Subsidiaries have
established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the
Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure 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. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the
disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently
filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”), and, except as disclosed in the SEC
Reports, the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in all material respects to perform the functions for which they were
established. The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the
certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the
Evaluation Date. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal
control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) of the Company and its Subsidiaries that have
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company and
its Subsidiaries.
(w) Certain Fees.
Except for fees payable to the Placement Agent, no brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the
Company or any Subsidiary 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. Other than to Persons engaged by any Purchaser,
the Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons
for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.
14
(x) Investment
Company. The Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will not be required to register as an
“investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company shall conduct its
business in a manner so that it will not be required to register as an “investment company” subject to registration
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(y)Registration Rights.
Other than to each of the Purchasers pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, no Person has any right to cause the Company or any
Subsidiary to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company or any Subsidiary that has not been satisfied
or waived prior to the date hereof.
(z)Listing and Maintenance

the Commission; the Common Stock is registered with the Commission under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and the Company is not in breach
of any filing or other requirements under the Exchange Act. The Company has not received any notice from the Commission that it is contemplating
terminating such registration. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof,
received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not
in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company
is in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The Common Stock is currently 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.
(aa) Application of Takeover
Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order 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 jurisdiction 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.
(bb) 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. 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, is true and correct in all material respects 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
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve
months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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 and when 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.
15
(cc) 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 (i) the Securities Act, or (ii) except as set forth in the SEC Reports, any applicable stockholder
approval provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(dd) 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 that lead it to believe
that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one (1) year
from the Closing Date. All outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or
any Subsidiary has commitments, is set forth on Schedule 3.1(dd). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness”
means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (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 $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.
(ee) Tax Status. Except
for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the
Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all U.S. federal, state and local income and all foreign tax returns, reports
and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges,
fines or penalties 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 no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority
of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.
(ff) Foreign Corrupt Practices;
Criminal Acts. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any agent or other person
acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment
or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government
officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully
any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which
is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of FCPA.

Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is as set forth in the SEC Reports. To the knowledge and belief of the Company,
such accounting firm is a registered public accounting firm as required by the Exchange Act.
(hh) Acknowledgment Regarding
Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the
capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Company
further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with
respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective
representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental
to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision
to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions
contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.
(ii) Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding
(except for Sections 3.2(e) and 4.15 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged by the Company that: (i) none of the Purchasers has
been asked by the Company to agree, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short,
securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the
Securities for any specified term; (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including,
without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after the closing of this or future securities
offering transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities; (iii) any
Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Purchaser is a party, directly or
indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock, and (iv) each Purchaser shall not be deemed to
have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction. The
Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities (in material
compliance with applicable laws) at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, and (z) such hedging
activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after the time
that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not
constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.
(jj) Regulation M Compliance.
The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf (other than the Placement Agent, as to which no representation is
made) has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price
of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or, paid any
compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting
another to purchase any other securities of the Company, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), compensation paid to the Placement
Agent pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement.

not limited to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”)
and the Company will not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the Offering hereunder, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available
such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person
currently subject to any Sanctions, including but not limited to U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.
(ll) Stock Option and Omnibus

and (ii) with an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date such stock option would be considered
granted under GAAP and applicable law. No stock option granted under the Company’s stock option or omnibus incentive plan has been
backdated. The Company has not knowingly granted, and there is no and has been no Company policy or practice to knowingly grant, stock
options prior to, or otherwise knowingly coordinate the grant of stock options with, the release or other public announcement of material
information regarding the Company or the Subsidiaries or their financial results or prospects.

(a) Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited
liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction

Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser.
Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in
accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable
against it 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.
19
(b) Understandings or
Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect
arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this
representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement
or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws).
(c) Experience of
Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and
experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in
the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an
investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(d) Access to
Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all
exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed
necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the
Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial
condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment;
and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable
effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Such Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate of the Placement Agent has provided such Purchaser with
any information or advice with respect to the Securities nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. Neither the
Placement Agent nor any Affiliate of the Placement Agent has made or makes any representation as to the Company or the quality of
the Securities and the Placement Agent and any Affiliate of the Placement Agent 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 of the Placement Agent nor any of its Affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to such
Purchaser.
(e) 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 against, or a prohibition of, any actions with respect to the
borrowing of, arrangement to borrow, identification of the availability of, and/or securing of, securities of the Company in order
for such Purchaser (or its broker or other financial representative) to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the
future.
20
(f) No Voting
Agreements. The Purchaser is not a party to any agreement or arrangement, whether written or oral, between the Purchaser and any
other Purchaser and any of the Company’s stockholders as of the date hereof, regulating the management of the Company, the
stockholders’ rights in the Company, the transfer of shares in the Company, including any voting agreements, stockholder
agreements or any other similar agreement, even if its title is different or has any other relations or agreements with any of the
Company’s stockholders, directors or officers.
(g) Brokers.
Except for the Placement Agent, no agent, broker, investment banker, person or firm acting in a similar capacity on behalf of or
under the authority of the Purchaser is or will be entitled to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any other commission or
similar fee, directly or indirectly, for which the Company or any of its Affiliates after the Closing could have any liabilities in
connection with this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or on account of any action taken by the
Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(h )Independent
Advice. Each Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the
Company to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.
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, except as set forth in this Agreement, with respect to locating or borrowing shares
in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
ARTICLE IV OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1. Transfer
Restrictions.
(a) The Securities may only
be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant
to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as
contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company shall cause Company Counsel to provide an opinion of counsel, the form and substance of which
opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the transferor, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities
Act. As a condition of transfer (other than pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or Rule 144), any such transferee shall agree
in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.
(b) The Purchasers agree,
so long as is required by this Section 4.1, to the imprinting of a legend on, or the book-entry registrations bearing a legend for, any
of the Securities substantially in the following form:
NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES FOR WHICH
THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE
IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND,
ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO
AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE
WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION
WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED
INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
21
The Company acknowledges and
agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant
a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined
in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer
pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company
and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no
notice shall be required of such pledge. The Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party
of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject
to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under
Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling
stockholders thereunder. The Company shall be responsible for any Transfer Agent fees, DTC fees, or fees of counsel to the Company associated
with the issuance of any opinion or the removal of any legends on any of the Securities.
(c) Book-entry registrations
for the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof), (i)
while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such Shares or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares
is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 and the
Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144, (iii) if such Shares or Pre-Funded Warrant
Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information
required under Rule 144 as to such Shares or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iv) if such
legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued
by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser promptly
after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a Purchaser,
respectively. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section
4.1(c), it will, no later than (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period
(as defined below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a written request by the Purchaser to
the Company or the Transfer Agent (“Request Notice”) (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), and
provided that the Purchaser delivered a letter of representation as the Company’s counsel may reasonably request on the date of
the Request Notice, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser confirmation that such shares are free from all restrictive and
other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions
on transfer set forth in this Section 4.1. Book-entry registrations for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted
by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company
as directed by such Purchaser. 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 a certificate representing Shares or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend.
22
(d) In addition to such Purchaser’s
other available remedies, (i) if the Company fails to issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Purchaser by the Legend Removal
Date confirmation that such shares identified in the Request Notice are free from all restrictive and other legends pursuant to Section
4.1(c) above, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Securities
(based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive
legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages
have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date (or, if later, four (4) days after the Request Notice date) until
such certificate is delivered without a legend, and (ii) (A) if the Company fails to issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a
Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date confirmation that such shares identified in the Request Notice are free from all restrictive and
other legends pursuant to Section 4.1(c) above and (B) if after the Legend Removal Date such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of all or any portion of the number of shares
of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock that
such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Purchaser’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
(including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of
(I) such number of Shares or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend
Removal Date multiplied by (II) the lowest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the
date of the delivery by such Purchaser to the Company of the applicable Securities and ending on the date of such delivery and payment
under this Section 4.1(d).
(e) Each Purchaser, severally
and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom,
and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set
forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from book-entry registrations representing Securities as set
forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.
4.2.[Reserved.]
4.3. Furnishing of Information;
Public Information.
(a)
Until the earlier of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities, or (ii) the Pre-Funded Warrants have expired, the Company
covenants to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and 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 event that the Company consummates (in each case on or after the date as of which the Purchasers may sell all of their Securities
without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144) (a) 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; (b) a merger or reorganization of the Company with one or more other entities in which the Company
is not the surviving entity; or (c) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, where the consummation of such transaction
results in the Company no longer subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
(b)
At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all
of the Shares or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares of a Purchaser may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with
Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company (i) shall fail for any reason to satisfy
the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes
such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Public Information
Failure”) then, in addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to that Purchaser, in
cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Shares
or the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, an amount in cash equal to $1,000 per day of a Public Information Failure until the earlier of (a) the
date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for that Purchaser
to transfer the Shares or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant
to this Section 4.3(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure
Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments
are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is
cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, other than during the pendency of
any bona fide dispute over whether an alleged Public Information Failure has occurred, such Public Information Failure Payments shall
bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s
right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available
to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
23
4.4. 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 sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and
regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction
unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
4.5. 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 thereto
as deemed by Company Counsel, with the Commission within the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of such
press release, the Company 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 the Subsidiaries or Affiliates, 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 the Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers,
directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, including without limitation, the Placement Agent, on the one hand, and any of the
Purchasers or any of their Affiliates on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby shall terminate and be
of no further force or effect. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor
otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any
Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly
provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 applicable Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required by
federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) to the extent such
disclosure is required by applicable law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with
prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).
4.6. Stockholder
Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any
Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any
distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company,
or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities
under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.
4.7. 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 4.5, 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 to the
receipt of such information and agreed 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 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 the Subsidiaries,
or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, any of the Subsidiaries
or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade on the basis of, such material,
non-public information, provided that 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 material non-public information 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.
24
4.8. Use of
Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder to identify, acquire, and advance new
assets and for working capital and general corporate 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 and accrued liabilities in the ordinary course of the
Company’s business and repayment of obligations outstanding as of the date of this Agreement and consistent with prior
practices), (b) for the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (other than in connection with the net exercise
of outstanding stock options or the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations in connection with equity awards, in each case, in
the ordinary course of business), (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation, or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC
regulations.
4.9. Indemnification
of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.9, the Company will defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each
Purchaser and its directors, officers, stockholders, 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, stockholders, 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, and any of the
foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (each, a “Purchaser Party”) from and against any and all actions, causes of
action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities, obligations, contingencies, damages, and expenses in
connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Purchaser Party is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder
is sought), including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements
and costs of investigation (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Purchaser Party as a
result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the
Company or any Subsidiary in any of the Transaction Documents, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the
Company or any Subsidiary contained in any of the Transaction Documents, (c) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought
or made against such Purchaser Party by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the
Company or any Subsidiary) or which otherwise involves such Purchaser Party that arises out of or results from (A) the execution,
delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents, (B) any transaction financed or to be financed in
whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, or (C) the status of such Purchaser
Party as an investor in the Company, (except to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are solely attributable to any Purchaser
Party’s material breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction
Documents or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party that
is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct). To the extent that the foregoing
undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. 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 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 (x) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (y)
the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (z) in such action there
is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the applicable Purchaser Party, 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 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 (1) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (2) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is
attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such
Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.9 shall be
made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or
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 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.
25
4.10. Reservation of
Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved 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
the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants.
4.11. Listing of
Common Stock. For as long as any Pre-Funded Warrants are outstanding and exercisable, the Company hereby agrees to use
commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is
currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all of the Shares and Pre-Funded
Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares on such
Trading Market to the extent required by the rules of 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 Pre-Funded Warrant
Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrant 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. For so long as the Company maintains a
listing or quotation of the Common Stock on a 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.
4.12. Subsequent
Equity Sales.
(a) From the date hereof
until one hundred twenty (120) days after the Effective Date (the “Restriction Period”), except as permitted
pursuant to Section 4.12(b), 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 amendment or supplement thereto, in each case (A) other than filing the Registration Statement and a registration statement on
Form S-8 in connection with any employee benefit plan, or (B) a prospectus supplement for an “at the market” offering
provided no sales are made pursuant to such prospectus supplement during the Restriction Period.
(b) From the date hereof until
one year after the Closing Date, (the “VRT Restriction Period”), 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 shares 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 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 (other than in connection with a stock split
or stock dividend or similar event) 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 or an “at-the-market offering”, 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 cancelled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day following the
Effective Date, (i) the Company will be permitted to make any sales under any “at-the-market offering” sales agreement with
A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, and (ii) the issuance of Common Stock purchase warrants with price protection only provisions shall not
be deemed Variable Rate Transactions.
26
(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 .Equal Treatment
of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person
to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also
offered to all of the parties to such Transaction Documents. 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 Shares or otherwise.
4.14. 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 4.5. 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 4.5, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information
included in this Agreement, including the schedules hereto. 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 4.5, (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 4.5 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of
confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company to the Company or the Subsidiaries after the issuance of the
initial press release as described in Section 4.5. 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.
4.15. Exercise
Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Pre-Funded Warrants sets forth the totality of the procedures
required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Pre-Funded Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information, or
instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Pre-Funded 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 Pre-Funded Warrants. The Company shall
honor exercises of the Pre-Funded Warrants and shall deliver Pre-Funded Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms,
conditions, and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.
4.16. Capital
Changes. From the date hereof until ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Company shall not undertake a reverse or
forward stock split or reclassification of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority
in interest of the Securities, except for any reverse or forward stock split or reclassification previously approved by the
Company’s stockholders and expressly contemplated by the SEC Reports.
27
4.17. 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.
4.19. Participation Rights.
(a) For a period of one year
from the Closing Date, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash
consideration, excluding (i) any issuances pursuant to an “at-the-market offering”, and (ii) any offerings for greater than
$50.0 million in gross proceeds (a “Subsequent Placement”), each Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to its
Pro Rata Portion of such Subsequent Placement on the same terms, conditions and price as offered to other investors in the Subsequent
Placement. For purposes of this Section 4.19, “Pro Rata Portion” means, with respect to each Purchaser, the percentage determined
by dividing (x) the Subscription Amount of such Purchaser by (y) the aggregate Subscription Amount of all Purchasers, and multiplying
such percentage by 20%.
(b) Between the time period
of 4:00 pm (New York City time) and 6:00 pm (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Trading Day of the expected
announcement of the Subsequent Placement (or, if the Trading Day of the expected announcement of the Subsequent Placement is the first
Trading Day following a holiday or a weekend (including a holiday weekend), between the time period of 4:00 pm (New York City time) on
the Trading Day immediately prior to such holiday or weekend and 2:00 pm (New York City time) on the day immediately prior to the Trading
Day of the expected announcement of the Subsequent Placement ), the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of the Company’s
intention to effect a Subsequent Placement (a “Subsequent Financing Notice”), which notice shall describe in reasonable detail
the proposed terms of such Subsequent Placement, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through
or with whom such Subsequent Placement is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet and transaction documents relating thereto
as an attachment.
(c) Any Purchaser desiring
to participate in such Subsequent Placement must provide written notice to the Company by 6:30 am (New York City time) on the Trading
Day following the date on which the Subsequent Financing Notice is delivered to such Purchaser (the “Notice Termination Time”)
that such Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Placement , the amount of such Purchaser’s participation, and representing
and warranting that such Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent
Financing Notice. If the Company receives no such notice from an Purchaser as of such Notice Termination Time, such Purchaser shall be
deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate in such Subsequent Placement.
(d) The Company must provide
the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the right of participation set forth above
in this Section 4.19, if the definitive agreement related to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not entered into for any reason
on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within three (3) Trading Days after the date of delivery of the initial Subsequent
Financing Notice.
(e) The Company and each Purchaser
agree that, if any Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Placement, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Placement
shall not include any term or provision that, directly or indirectly, will, or is intended to, exclude one or more of the Purchasers from
participating in a Subsequent Placement. In addition, the Company and each Purchaser agree that, in connection with a Subsequent Placement
, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Placement shall include a requirement for the Company to issue a widely disseminated
press release by 9:30 am (New York City time) on the Trading Day of execution of the transaction documents in such Subsequent Placement
(or, if the date of execution is not a Trading Day, on the immediately following Trading Day, or if the time of execution is after 4:00
pm, New York City time, on a Trading Day, on the immediately following Trading Day) that discloses the material terms of the transactions
contemplated by the transaction documents in such Subsequent Placement.
28
(f) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 4.19 and unless otherwise agreed to by such Purchaser, the Company shall either confirm in writing to
such Purchaser that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention
to issue the securities in the Subsequent Placement, in either case in such a manner such that such Purchaser will not be in possession
of any material, non-public information, by 9:30 am (New York City time) on the second (2nd) Trading Day following date of delivery of
the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by 9:30 am (New York City time) on such second (2nd) Trading Day, no public disclosure regarding a
transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been
received by such Purchaser, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Purchaser shall not be deemed to be in possession
of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(g) The restrictions contained
in this Section 4.19 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Company shall not circumvent the provisions of this Section
4.19 by providing more favorable terms or conditions to any other investor in a Subsequent Placement than those offered to the Purchasers.
ARTICLE V MISCELLANEOUS
5.1. Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect
whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing
has not been consummated on or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date hereof; provided, however, that no such
termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).
5.2. Fees and
Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses
of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the
negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; provided, however, that at the Closing, the Company
shall reimburse counsel to the lead Purchaser for legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby in an amount equal to $75,000. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees (including, without limitation, any fees
required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any exercise notice delivered by a
Purchaser). The Company shall pay any issuance, stamp or documentary taxes (other than transfer taxes) or charges imposed by any
governmental body, agency or official (other than income taxes) by reason of the issuance of Shares to the Purchasers.
5.3. Entire
Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto contain the entire understanding of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or
written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and
schedules.
5.4. Notices. Any
and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall

5.5. Amendments;
Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed,
in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchasers that purchased at least 50.1% in interest of the Securities 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 group of Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately impacted
Purchaser (or at least 50.1% in interest of such group of 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 relative to the comparable rights
and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any amendment
effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities and the Company. 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 file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a
Current Report on Form 8-K.
5.6. Headings.
The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect
any of the provisions hereof.
5.7. Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted
assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each
Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such
Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the
transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”
5.8. Third-Party
Beneficiaries. The Placement Agent shall be the third-party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of the Company in
Section 3.1 and the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof
be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.9 and this Section 5.8.
5.9. Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents 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 Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party
hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, 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 (including with respect
to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action
or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of 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
Agreement 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 any party shall
commence a suit, action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations
of the Company under Section 4.9, the prevailing party in such suit, 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 of such suit, action or proceeding.
30
5.10. Survival.
The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities until the
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. All covenants and agreements of the parties contained herein shall survive the
Closing in accordance with their terms.
5.11. Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, 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, by other electronic signing created on an electronic platform (such as DocuSign) or by digital
signing (such as Adobe Sign), 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 other electronic or digital 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 provided, however, that in the case of a rescission of an
exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to
any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently (if such shares were delivered to the applicable Purchaser) with the return to such
Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to
acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Pre-Funded Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant
certificate evidencing such restored right).
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, any Person
having any rights under any provision of the Transaction Documents will be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without
posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of the Transaction Documents and to
exercise all other rights granted by law. 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. Remedies provided
for in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under
this Agreement, any other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other
injunctive relief).
31
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
nonperformance 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 Sullivan & Worcester LLP, the
legal counsel of the Placement Agent, and Sullivan & Worcester LLP, as 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 partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction
Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other
amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or
other 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 Trading Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding
Trading Day.
5.20. Currency.
Unless otherwise stated, all dollar amounts and references to “$” in this Agreement refer to the lawful currency of the
United States.
5.21. 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.
5.22.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.

2. Registration.
(a) On or prior to
each Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable
Securities that are not then registered on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant
to Rule 415 (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect). Each Registration Statement filed hereunder
shall be on Form S-3 or such other appropriate form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration of Registrable
Securities, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e), and shall contain a prospectus in such form as to permit the Holders to sell such
Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission
then in effect) beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement. The Initial Registration Statement shall not include
any shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of any person other than the Holders without the prior written consent
of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities. Each Registration Statement shall contain substantially the “Plan
of Distribution” and “Selling Shareholder” sections attached hereto as Annex A and Annex B,
respectively; provided, however, that no Holder shall be required to be named as an “underwriter” without such
Holder’s express prior written consent. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause
a Registration Statement to be filed under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section 3(c)) to be declared effective
under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness
Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act, and to be supplemented
and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration
Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until the date that all Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) otherwise cease to be Registrable
Securities under this Agreement and any restrictive legend is removed to permit the delivery of the securities via the facilities of DTC
(the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as
of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders via facsimile or by e-mail of the effectiveness
of a Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that such Registration Statement is declared effective (or if applicable, on the same
Trading Day that such Registration Statement automatically becomes effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act). The
Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final
Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424. When effective, a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2(a)
(including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements
of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein
(b) Notwithstanding
the registration obligations set forth in Section 2(a), if the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot,
as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company
agrees to promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and use its best efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement
as required by the Commission, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on
Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering, subject to the provisions
of Section 2(e); with respect to filing on Form S-3 or other appropriate form, and subject to the provisions of Section 2(d) with respect
to the payment of liquidated damages; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall be obligated
to use best efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC
Guidance, including without limitation, Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation Question 612.09.
3
(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(d), if the Commission or
any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration
Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission
for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its
Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows:
(i) First, the Company
shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included other than Registrable Securities; and
(ii) Second, the Company
shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants, and/or the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares (pro rata among
the Holders based on the total number of unregistered Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants, and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares).
In the event of
a cutback hereunder (such shares cutback pursuant to this Section 2(c), the “Cut Back Shares”), the Company shall give
the Holder at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment. In the
event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its commercially reasonable
efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of
securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable
Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended, and to use its reasonable best efforts
to cause the Commission to declare such registration statement covering the Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale
on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended, effective as soon as practicable after such filing.
(d) If: (i) the Initial
Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date (if the Company files the Initial Registration Statement without affording
the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(a), the Company shall be deemed to have not satisfied
this clause (i)), or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance
with Rule 461 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, within five (5) Trading Days of the date that the Company
is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed”
or will not be subject to further review, or (iii) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file
a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement
within fifteen (15) calendar days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such amendment is required in order
for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, or (iv) a Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Registrable
Securities, subject to the cutback limitations set forth in Section 2(c) of this Agreement, is not declared effective by the Commission
by the Effectiveness Date of the Initial Registration Statement, or (v) after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration
Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement,
or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than ten
(10) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of fifteen (15) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during
any 12-month period, or (vi) if on or after the Effectiveness Date a Registration Statement is not effective for any reason or the Prospectus
contained therein is not available for use for any reason, and either (x) the Company fails for any reason to satisfy the requirements
of Rule 144(c)(1), including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c),
or (y) the Company has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall
fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2), as a result of which any of the Holders are unable to sell Registrable Securities
without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) (any such failure or breach being referred to
as an “Event”, and for purposes of clauses (i) and (iv), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause
(ii) the date on which such five (5) Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such fifteen (15)
calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (v) the date on which such ten (10) or fifteen (15) calendar day period, as
applicable, is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (vi) the date on which such failure first occurs, being referred to as “Event
Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date
and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable
Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the
product of one percent (1.0%) multiplied by the aggregate Subscription Amount paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven (7) days after the date payable,
the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable
law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon,
are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of
a month prior to the cure of an Event.
4
(e) If Form S-3 is
not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall register the resale of the Registrable
Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, or on another appropriate form, provided that the Company shall maintain the
effectiveness of and update as required the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form
S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name any Holder or affiliate of a Holder as an
Underwriter without the prior written consent of such Holder.
3. Registration Procedures.
In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:
(a) Not less than
two (2) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement, the Company shall (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all materials
to be filed with the Commission as part of such Registration Statement, including all amendments and supplements thereto (except for Annual
Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports), and (ii) use
best efforts to cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries as
shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning
of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file a Registration Statement to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
shall reasonably object in good faith, provided that, the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than two (2) Trading
Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement. Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed
questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex C (a “Selling Shareholder Questionnaire”) on a
date that is not less than two (2) Trading Days prior to the Filing Date or by the end of the fourth (4th) Trading Day following
the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section. The Company shall not be required to include any
Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement for any Holder that has not provided such Selling Shareholder Questionnaire.
(b) (i) Prepare and
file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities
for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for
resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by
any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the receipt
of comments by or notice from the Commission, to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a Registration Statement or
any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably practicable to the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence
from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided that, the Company shall excise any information contained therein
which would constitute material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and (iv) comply in all material
respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with
the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus
as so supplemented.
(c) If during the
Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock then registered
in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior to the applicable Filing
Date, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of such Registrable Securities.
5
(d) Notify the Holders
of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction
to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case
of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in
writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review”
of such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become
effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to
a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or
state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable
Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect
to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction,
or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes
the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration
Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect
or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement
or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company
believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued
availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided, however, that in no event shall any such notice contain
any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(e) Use its best efforts
to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale
in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment, and notify the Holders of the issuance of such order or suspension and the resolution
thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
(f) Furnish to each
Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial
statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested by such
Holder, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Holder (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly
after the filing of such documents with the Commission, provided that any such item which is available on the EDGAR system (or successor
thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.
(g) Subject to the
terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of
the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment
or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).
(h) The Company shall
cooperate with any broker-dealer through which a Holder proposes to resell its Registrable Securities in effecting a filing with the FINRA
Corporate Financing Department pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, as requested by any such Holder, and the Company shall pay the filing fee
required by such filing within two (2) Business Days of receipt of a request therefor.
6
(i) Prior to any resale
of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection
with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale
by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in
writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and
all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by
each Registration Statement, provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where
it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file
a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
(j) If requested by
a Holder, use best efforts to cause the Transfer Agent to remove any restrictive legend from any Registrable Securities in accordance
with the Purchase Agreement.
(k) Upon the occurrence
of any event contemplated by Section 3(d), as promptly as reasonably practicable under the circumstances taking into account the Company’s
good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its shareholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare
a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus
or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will 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 light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(d) above to
suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of
such Prospectus. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.
The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(k) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and
Prospectus, subject to the payment of partial liquidated damages otherwise required pursuant to Section 2(d), for a period not to exceed
10 consecutive calendar days or for a total of 30 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month period; provided
that the first day of any suspension period must be at least five (5) Trading Days after the last day of any prior suspension period,
and no suspension period may exist during the sixty (60) Trading Day period immediately following the effective date of the applicable
Registration Statement.
(l) Otherwise use
best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including,
without limitation, Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof, with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the Holders in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness
Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Holders are required to deliver
a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to
facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.
(m) The Company shall
use its best efforts to obtain and maintain eligibility for use of Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) for the registration of the
resale of the Registrable Securities.
(n) Within one (1)
Business Day after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the Commission, the Company shall
deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the Transfer Agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies
to the Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement
has been declared effective by the Commission.
7
(o) The Company shall
hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning a Holder provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such
information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid
or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required to be disclosed in such Registration Statement
pursuant to the Securities Act, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable
order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public
other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning
that disclosure of such information concerning a Holder is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through
other means, give prompt written notice to such Holder and allow such Holder, at such Holder’s expense, to undertake appropriate
action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
(p) Neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof shall identify any Holder as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the Commission
or any Trading Market.
(q) The Company may
require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by such Holder and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control over the shares.
During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the Registrable Securities
solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within three (3) Trading Days of the Company’s request, any liquidated
damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of
such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the Company.
4. Registration
Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by
the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to
in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees
and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made with the Commission,
(B) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed for trading,
(C) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including, without
limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable
Securities) and (D) if not previously paid by the Company with respect to any filing that may be required to be made by any broker through
which a Holder intends to make sales of Registrable Securities with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, so long as the broker is receiving
no more than a customary brokerage commission in connection with such sale, (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses
of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses

contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal
or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable
Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. The Company shall also be responsible for all reasonable and documented legal
fees and disbursements of one counsel incurred by the Holders in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement (which counsel shall be selected by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities in the applicable Registration
Statement). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be responsible for (x) any broker or similar commissions of any Holder,
(y) any fees, costs, or expenses incurred by any Holder in connection with any litigation or dispute arising out of or relating to this
Agreement (other than as provided in Section 5), or (z) any Holder's own internal costs or expenses.
8
5. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification
by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Holder,
the officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal
as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call), advisors and 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 each of them, each Person
who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers,
directors, members, shareholders, partners, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented
attorneys’ fees) and expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”),
as incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim arising out of or relating
to (1) 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 with respect to any of the foregoing 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
or (2) 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 with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or (3) any violation of this Agreement,
except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding
such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder (or such Holder’s representatives or counsel) expressly for use therein,
or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities
and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder (or such Holder’s representatives or counsel) expressly for use
in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved
Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi),
the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing
that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of
the Advice contemplated in Section 6(c). Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall reimburse the indemnified persons, promptly as such
expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating
or defending any such claim. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising
from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain
in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer
of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with Section 6(f).
(b) Indemnification
by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents
and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange
Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any Registration Statement, any 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 (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished
in writing by such Holder (or such Holder’s representatives or counsel) to the Company expressly for inclusion in such Registration
Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information is contained in such Holder’s
information provided in the Selling Shareholder Questionnaire or the proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was
reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the
Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall
the liability of a selling Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder
in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration
Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
9
(c) Conduct of
Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an
“Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying
Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred
in connection with defense thereof, provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially
and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing
to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including
any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably
believe that an actual conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying
Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at
the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable
fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall
not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of
any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release
of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
Subject to the terms
of this Agreement, all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable and documented fees
and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent
with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the
Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees
and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which
determination is not subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(d) Contribution.
If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party
harmless for any Losses (except where such indemnification is unavailable due to the Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence, willful
misconduct, or fraud), then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions,
statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such
Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including
any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by,
or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party
as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’
or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified
for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.
10
The parties hereto
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or
by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a Holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount
of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the amount of any
damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission)
received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
The indemnity and
contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified
Parties.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies.
Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or
remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations
under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by
law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement
(without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required). Each of the Company and each Holder
agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the
provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach,
it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) Piggyback on
Registrations; Prohibition on Filing Other Registration Statements. Except as approved by the Holders of at least a majority of the
Registrable Securities, the Company shall not file any other registration statements until all Registrable Securities are registered pursuant
to a Registration Statement that is declared effective by the Commission; provided, however, that this Section 6(b) shall not prohibit
the Company from filing (i) a registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with any employee benefit plan, (ii) a registration statement
on Form S-4 (or any successor form) in connection with any merger, acquisition, exchange offer, or other business combination, (iii) a
registration statement in connection with an at-the-market offering program, or (iv) any other registration statement with the prior written
consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed). This Section 6(b) shall automatically terminate on the date that is 12 months following the Closing Date.
(c) Discontinued
Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the
occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company
that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its best
efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company agrees and acknowledges that
any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be subject
to the provisions of Section 2(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to deliver
unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of a Holder in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with
any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which such Holder has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the
Prospectus included as part of the applicable Registration Statement to the extent applicable, prior to such Holder’s receipt of
notice of a suspension and for which the Holder has not yet settled.
11
(d) Piggyback Registrations.
If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities
and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account
under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities
Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business
or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall
deliver to the Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date of the delivery of such notice,
any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable
Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable
Securities pursuant to this Section 6(d) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public
information requirements) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration
Statement.
(e) Amendments
and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Company and the Holders of 50.1% or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (for purposes of clarification, this includes
any Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of any security), provided that, if any amendment, modification or waiver
disproportionately and adversely impacts a Holder (or group of Holders), the prior written consent of such disproportionately impacted
Holder (or group of Holders) shall be required. If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant
to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for
each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities
shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof
with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect
the rights of other Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent
relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in
accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 6(e). No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to
amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of
the parties to this Agreement.
(f) Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth
in the Purchase Agreement.
(g) Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the
parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger, subject to any successor entity assuming
in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the
manner and to the Persons as permitted under Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
(h) No Inconsistent
Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect
of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities
to any Person that have not been satisfied in full.
12
(i) Execution and
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one
and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it
being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file or 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 facsimile or “.pdf”
or Docusign signature page were an original thereof.
(j) Consent to Electronic
Notice. Each Holder consents to the delivery of any shareholder notice at the e-mail address set forth below the Holder’s name on
their signature page hereto, as updated from time to time by notice to the Company. To the extent that any notice given by means of electronic
mail is returned or undeliverable for any reason, the foregoing consent shall be deemed to have been revoked until a new or corrected
e-mail address has been provided, and such attempted electronic notice shall be ineffective and deemed to not have been given. Each party
agrees to promptly notify the other parties of a change in its e-mail address, and that failure to do so shall not affect the foregoing.
(k) Governing Law.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(l) Cumulative
Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
(m) 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.
(n) Headings.
The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or
affect any of the provisions hereof.
(o) Independent
Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations
of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder
hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder
pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind
of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to
such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders
are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions.
Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement,
and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of
a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or
decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by
any Holder. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder,
solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.
13
(p) Further Acts.
Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all
such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent
and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(q) Reports Under
the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees to: (i) make and keep
public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; (ii) file with the Commission in a timely manner
all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject
to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and (iii)
furnish to each Holder so long as such Holder owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (A) a written statement by the Company,
if true, that it has complied with the reporting, submission and posting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act, (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company
with the Commission if such reports are not publicly available via EDGAR, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested
to permit the Holders to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
(r) Prospectus
Deliver. Each Holder severally and not jointly with the other Holders agrees with the Company that such Holder will sell any Registrable
Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements
or an exemption therefrom and that if the Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement they will be sold in compliance
with the plan of distribution set forth therein and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing
Registrable Securities as set forth in this Agreement is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

Annex A
Plan of Distribution
Each Selling Shareholder (the
“Selling Shareholder”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from
time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal Trading Market or any other stock exchange, market or
trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling
Shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
●
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
●
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
●
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
●
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
●
privately negotiated transactions;
●
settlement of short sales;
●
in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
●
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
●
in distributions to members, limited partners or stockholders of the selling shareholders;
●
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
●
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The Selling Shareholders may
also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
17
The Selling Shareholders may,
from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default
in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time
to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities
Act, by amending the list of Selling Shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Shareholders
under this prospectus. The Selling Shareholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the
transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling shareholders for purposes of this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by
the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts
from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts
to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a
customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in
compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
In connection with the sale
of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling
Shareholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities
to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities, and if such short sale shall take place after the date that this Registration
Statement is declared effective by the Commission, the Selling Shareholders may deliver securities covered by this prospectus. The Selling
Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more
derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus,
which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended
to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Shareholders and
any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning
of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any
profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities
Act. Each Selling Shareholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly
or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The Company is required to
pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify
the Selling Shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to keep this prospectus
effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Shareholders without registration and
without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance
with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities
have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities
will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in
certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable
state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and
regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market
making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to
the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the shares of Common
Stock by the Selling Shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Shareholders and
have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by
compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
18
Annex B
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The shares of Common Stock
being offered by the selling shareholders are those previously issued to the selling shareholders. For additional information regarding
the issuances of those shares of Common Stock, see “Private Placement” in the Purchase Agreement. We are registering the shares
of Common Stock in order to permit the selling shareholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership
of the shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants, the selling shareholders have not had any material relationship with us within
the past three years.
The table below lists the
selling shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling shareholders.
The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling shareholder, based on its ownership of
the shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants, as of ________, 2026, assuming exercise of the pre-funded warrants held by the selling
shareholder on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercise.
The third column lists the
shares of Common Stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders.
In accordance with the terms
of a registration rights agreement with the selling shareholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) the number
of shares of common stock issued to the selling shareholders in the “Private Placement” described above and (ii) the maximum
number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants, determined as if the outstanding pre-funded warrants were
exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each
as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration
right agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the pre-funded warrants. The fourth column assumes the sale of all
of the shares offered by the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the pre-funded
warrants, a selling shareholder may not exercise the pre-funded warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such selling shareholder,
together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99%
or 9.99%, as applicable, of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares
of common stock issuable upon exercise of such pre-funded warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second and
fourth columns do not reflect this limitation. The selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See
"Plan of Distribution."
