Membership
Interests Purchase Agreement
On
April 15, 2026, Soluna Digital Inc. (the “Purchaser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Soluna Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”),
entered into a Membership Interests Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”), with Soluna SLC Fund I Projects Holdco LLC (the “Seller”)
and Soluna DVSL JVCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Dorothy 1A Project Company”), pursuant to which the
Purchaser acquired 85.4% of the issued and outstanding Class B Membership Interests in the Dorothy 1A Project Company from the Seller.
The Dorothy 1A Project Company owns a wind-powered data center campus in Silverton, Texas focused on bitcoin hosting. The MIPA contains
customary representations and warranties of the Seller and the Purchaser.
The
closing of the acquisition (the “Closing”) occurred simultaneously with the execution of the MIPA on April 15,
2026. At the Closing, the Purchaser paid $6.0 million to the Seller and an additional $10.5 million payment is due to the Seller no later
than July 1, 2026. Upon the Closing, the Purchaser owns 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Dorothy 1A Project
Company.
Securities
Purchase Agreement and Promissory Note
In
connection with the MIPA, on April 15, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with YA
II PN, LTD. (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Company issued to the Lender a Promissory Note (the “Note”)
payable to the Lender, providing for an unsecured loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $12,000,000 (the “Principal Amount”).
The outstanding Principal Amount will mature on May 15, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”) and bears interest at a rate per annum
of 5%, based on a 365-day year, which interest rate shall increase to a rate per annum of 18% upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default (as defined in the Note) for so long as such event remains uncured. Under the Note,
the Company is required to make monthly payments (“Amortization Payments”) of $1.2 million per month, beginning sixty (60)
days after closing until the Note is repaid in full. Each Amortization Payment shall include a 5% premium of the principal amount of
such payment.
The
Company may, upon at least one Business Day’s prior written notice to the Lender, prepay the outstanding Principal Amount and an
additional 5% of such Principal Amount (solely in respect of a redemption in full), and any accrued and unpaid interest, at any time
prior to the Maturity Date. If
the Company consummates a financing transaction, or series of financing transactions within a thirty (30) day period, with aggregate
gross proceeds in excess of $20 million (excluding any (i) transaction with the Lender or its affiliates, (ii) sales under the At the
Market Offering Agreement entered into between the Company and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC on April 29, 2025, (iii) issuance under
the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement entered into between the Company and the Lender on August 12, 2024 or the Standby Equity Purchase
Agreement entered into between the Company and the Lender on March 24, 2026, or (iv) exercises of options, warrants, or convertible securities
outstanding as of April 15, 2026), then, unless waived by the Lender, the Company shall be required to redeem the Note in an amount equal
to (a) 20% of the outstanding Principal Amount and (b) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Note.
The
Note includes customary representations, warranties and covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the outstanding
Principal Amount may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default
involving the Company after which the outstanding Principal Amount becomes automatically due and payable.
Guaranty
Pursuant
to the SPA, Soluna Wind Holding, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Guarantor”), entered into a Guaranty,
dated April 15, 2026 (the “Guaranty”). Pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty, the Guarantor agreed
to guarantee the complete performance and fulfillment of the Company’s obligations under the SPA and the Note.
Private
Placement
Pursuant
to the SPA, the Company issued to the Lender in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) a common warrant (the “Warrant”)
to purchase up to 2,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
The
Warrant issued to the Lender in the Private Placement was issued and sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), or state securities laws in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities
Act promulgated thereunder and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.
The
Warrant has an exercise price of $1.06 per share of Common Stock, is exercisable upon issuance and expires on the twelve-month anniversary
of its date of issuance. The Warrant is exercisable, at the option of the Lender, in whole or in part by delivering to the Company a
duly executed exercise notice and, at any time a registration statement registering the resale or other disposition of the shares of
Common Stock underlying the Warrant under the Securities Act is effective and available for such shares, or an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act is available for such shares, by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of
Common Stock purchased upon such exercise. If at the time of exercise more than six months after the issuance date there is no effective
registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the resale or other disposition of the shares
of Common Stock underlying the Warrant, then the Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a cashless
exercise, in which case the Lender would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to
the formula set forth in the Warrant.
The
Lender does not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant if the Lender, together with its affiliates, would beneficially
own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. The Lender
may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation up to 9.99%, provided, however, that any increase in the beneficial ownership
limitation shall not be effective until 61 days following notice of such change to the Company.

foregoing descriptions of the Note, form of Warrant, MIPA, SPA and Guaranty are not complete and are qualified in their entireties by

FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, SOLUNA HOLDINGS, INC., an entity organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Company”),
hereby promises to pay to the order of YA II PN, LTD., or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), the amount set out
above as the Original Principal Amount (or such lesser amount as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to repayment, redemption,
conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) and the Payment Premium, as applicable, in each case when due, and to pay
interest (“Interest”) on any outstanding Principal at the applicable Interest Rate (as defined below) from the date
set out above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon the
Maturity Date or acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). Certain capitalized
terms used herein are defined in Section (10). This Promissory Note (as amended, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise
modified in writing from time to time, this “Note”) was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement
dated as of April 15, 2026, between the Company and the Holder (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”).
The Company and the Holder are referred to herein at times, collectively, as the “Parties,” and each, a “Party.”
(1)
GENERAL TERMS
(a)
Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal,
accrued and unpaid Interest, and any other amounts outstanding pursuant to the terms of this Note. The “Maturity Date”
shall be May 15, 2027, as may be extended at the option of the Holder.
(b)
Interest Rate and Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding Principal balance hereof at an annual rate equal
to 5% (“Interest Rate”), which Interest Rate shall increase to an annual rate of 18% upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default (for so long as such event remains uncured). Interest shall be calculated based on a 365-day year and the actual number of
days elapsed, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(c)
Monthly Payments. On or before each date (each, an “Installment Date”) set forth on the repayment schedule
attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Repayment Schedule”), the Company shall repay a portion of the outstanding balance
of this Note in an amount equal to (i) the installment principal amount set forth on the Repayment Schedule as of such Installment Date
(or the outstanding Principal if less than such amount (the “Installment Principal Amount”)), plus (ii) the Payment
Premium in respect of such Installment Principal Amount (if applicable), and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest hereunder as of each Installment
Date (collectively, the “Installment Amount”). With respect to the payment of any applicable Installment Amount by
the Company hereunder, the Company shall, at its own option, repay each applicable Installment Amount either (i) in cash on or before
the Installment Date, or (ii) by submitting an Advance Notice (an “Advance Repayment”), or a series of Advance Notices,
each with an Advance Date on or before the applicable Installment Date, or any combination of (i) or (ii) as determined by the Company.
In respect of any applicable Installment Amount, or portion thereof, to be repaid by the Company in cash, the Company shall pay such
applicable Installment Amount to the Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds in cash on or before such Installment Date.
If the Company elects an Advance Repayment in accordance with this Section for all or a portion of an applicable Installment Amount,
then the Company shall deliver an Advance Notice to the Holder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SEPA, that will have
an Advance Date on or before the applicable Installment Date. Upon the closing of such Advance Notice in accordance with the SEPA, the
Holder shall offset the amount due to be paid by the Holder to the Company under the SEPA against an equal amount of the applicable Installment
Amount to be paid by the Advance Repayment, and any additional proceeds from any Advance Notice shall be remitted to the Company. If,
on the Installment Date any portion of the applicable Installment Amount remains unpaid, the Company shall repay such outstanding applicable
Installment Amount as a cash repayment in accordance with this Section. If the Company is issuing or selling Common Shares for the purposes
of generating proceeds to make a monthly payment hereunder, the Company shall utilize the SEPA to the fullest extent possible with respect
to the Installment Amount being paid in connection with raising the proceeds to make such monthly payment and any Advance Notice used
in furtherance thereof (or for any Advance repayment) shall utilize an Option 2 Pricing Period (as defined in the SEPA). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company may continue to use its ATM Agreement to raise proceeds from time to time for working capital, project-level
equity, and general corporate purposes.
(d)
Monthly Payment Deferral. The Company may elect, at its sole option, to defer the Installment Amount due on one Installment Date
by providing written notice to the Holder (“Deferral Notice”) no fewer than five (5) Business Days prior to the Installment
Date of the Installment Amount being deferred. With respect to a deferred Installment Amount, the Company shall elect in writing in the
Deferral Notice, at its sole option, that such Installment Amount shall either (i) be due and payable at the next Installment Date, or
(ii) remain outstanding and be due and payable on the Maturity Date, or otherwise upon acceleration in accordance with the terms of this
Note. Promptly following the receipt of a Deferral Notice, the Holder will provide the Company with an updated Repayment Schedule reflecting
the election made by the Company in the Deferral Notice.
2
(e)
Company Redemption. The Company at its option shall have the unconditional right, but not the obligation, to redeem (“Company
Redemption”) early all or any portion of the amounts outstanding under this Note as described in this Section; provided,
that the Company provides the Holder with 1 Business Day prior written notice (each, a “Redemption Notice”) of its
desire to exercise a Company Redemption. Each Redemption Notice shall specify whether the Company Redemption will be for all amounts
outstanding under this Note (“Redemption in Full”) or be for a portion of the amounts outstanding under this Note
(“Redemption in Part”) and shall specify the applicable Redemption Amount. The “Redemption Amount”
shall be an amount equal to (a) the outstanding Principal balance being redeemed by the Company plus (b) solely in respect of
a Redemption in Full, the Payment Premium in respect of such Principal amount plus (c) all accrued and unpaid interest on this
Note. A Redemption in Part shall be applied to future monthly payments in reverse chronological order.
(f)
Mandatory Redemption. If the Company consummates a financing transaction, or series of financing transactions within a thirty
(30) day period, with aggregate gross proceeds in excess of $20 million (excluding (i) any transaction with the Holder or its affiliates,
(ii) sales under the Company’s ATM Agreement, (iii) issuance under the SEPA, or (iv) exercises of options, warrants, or convertible
securities outstanding as of the Issuance Date), then, unless waived by the Holder, the Company shall be required to make a Company Redemption
in cash which shall be a Redemption in Part in a Redemption Amount equal to (a) an amount equal to 20% of the outstanding Principal balance
of this Note plus (b) all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note.
(g)
Payment Dates. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
(2)

not cured within the time prescribed by the documents governing such indebtedness or if no time is prescribed, within ten (10) Trading
Days, and as a result, such indebtedness is declared due and payable;
(iv)
A final judgment or judgments for the payment of money aggregating in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate are rendered against the
Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and which judgments are not, within sixty (60) days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged,
settled or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within sixty (60) days after the expiration of such stay; provided, however,
any judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity from a credit worthy party shall not be included in calculating the $1,000,000

if a basis for federal jurisdiction exists, the non-exclusive personal jurisdiction of any United States District Court for the Governing
Jurisdiction.
(ii)
Each Party agrees that venue shall be proper in any court of the Governing Jurisdiction or, if a basis for federal jurisdiction exists,
in any United States District Court in the Governing Jurisdiction. Each Party waives any right to object to the maintenance of any suit,
claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise,
in any of the state or federal courts of the Governing Jurisdiction on the basis of improper venue or inconvenience of forum.
(iii)
Any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or tort or
otherwise, brought by either Party against the other arising out of or based upon this Note or any matter relating to this Note, or any
other Transaction Document, or any contemplated transaction, shall be brought in a court only in the Governing Jurisdiction. Each Party
agrees that any forum outside the Governing Jurisdiction is an inconvenient forum and that any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding
brought by either Party against the other in any court outside the Governing Jurisdiction should be dismissed or transferred to a court
located in the Governing Jurisdiction. Furthermore, each Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not bring or commence
any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort
or otherwise, against the other Party arising out of or based upon this Note or any matter relating to this Note, or any other Transaction
Document, or any contemplated transaction, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and
the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the Parties
irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such suit, claim,
action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State Court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, in such federal court. The Parties agree that a final judgment in any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
(iv)

or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail postage prepaid, to it at the address provided for notices
in this Note, such service to become effective thirty (30) days after the date of mailing.
8
(v)
Nothing herein shall affect the right of either Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings
or to otherwise proceed against the other Party or any other Person in the Governing Jurisdiction or in any other jurisdiction.
(c)
THE PARTIES MUTUALLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS NOTE OR ANY MATTER
RELATING TO THIS NOTE, OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A WAIVER OF A LEGAL RIGHT AND THAT THE
PARTIES EACH MAKE THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY AFTER CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR RESPECTIVE CHOICE. THE PARTIES AGREE
THAT ALL SUCH CLAIMS SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE OF A COURT HAVING JURISDICTION, WITHOUT A JURY.
(7)
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Company shall reimburse the Holder promptly for all fees,
costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Holder in any action in connection
with this Note, including, without limitation, those incurred: (i) during any workout, attempted workout, and/or in connection with the

Holder, (iii) defending or prosecuting any proceeding or any counterclaim to any proceeding or appeal; or (iv) the protection, preservation
or enforcement of any rights or remedies of the Holder.
(8)
Any waiver by the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach
of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to
any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist
upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note. Any waiver must be in writing.
(9)
If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision
is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If it
shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing usury, the applicable
rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest. The Company covenants
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take
the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all
or any portion of the Principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in
force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay
or imped the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though

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 attached hereto as Annex 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, in either case in immediately available funds, 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. The Company shall have no obligation to inquire with
respect to or otherwise confirm the authenticity of the signature(s) contained on any Notice of Exercise nor the authority of the person
so executing such Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically
surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has
been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading
Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases
of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant
Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall
maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection
to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this
Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant
Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated
on the face hereof.
b)
Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $1.06, but not less than the Minimum
Price as defined in Nasdaq Rule 5635(d), subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
c)
Cashless Exercise. If at any time after the six (6) month anniversary of the Issue Date, there is no effective registration statement
registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, this Warrant may
also be exercised, in whole or in part and at the sole discretion of the Holder, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise”
in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by
(A), where:
(A)
=
as
applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of
Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed
and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined
in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) 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 of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X)
=
the
number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such
exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If
Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the
Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrant being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant
Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this
Section 2(c).
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’s transfer agent is
then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant
Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume
or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrant), and otherwise by physical delivery
of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant
Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise
by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days 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 the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case
of a cashless exercise) within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard
Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the
Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash,
as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the
Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth
Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant
Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the
FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period”
means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect
to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of the delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
ii.
Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder
and upon surrender of this Warrant, 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 remaining available under this Warrant, which new Warrant shall
in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii.
Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)
by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv.
No
Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company
shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
v.
Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue, transfer, stamp, documentary
or similar 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 Annex
B (the “Assignment Form”) duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto,
the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent
fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established
clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
vi.
Closing
of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this
Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
vii.
Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder,
if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is
required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases,
shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving
upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x)
the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds
(y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in
connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed,
and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which
such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares
of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.
Any such reinstated Warrant or delivery to the Holder of shares of Common Stock shall be subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
set forth in Section 2(e). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a
Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase
obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000.
The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon
request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other
remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive
relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required
pursuant to the terms hereof.
e)
Beneficial Ownership Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right
to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance
after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other
Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)),
would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude
the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject
to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership
shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being
acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith and the calculations
required under this Section 2(e). To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether
this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties)
and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of
Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities
owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each
case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such
determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A)
the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement
by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing
to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or
its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The
“Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the
Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance
of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to
apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to
the Company. The provisions of this Section 2(e) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with
the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this Section 2(e) (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended
Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to
such limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 2(e) shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Section
3. Certain Adjustments.
a)
Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise
makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares
of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this
Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse
stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the
Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which
the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of
shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant
shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for
the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b)
Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or
other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then
the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder
could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without
regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the
date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as
of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided,
however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder
exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent
(or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent); provided, that such Purchase
Right shall terminate on, and shall not be held in abeyance for any period subsequent to the Termination Date.
c)
Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or
other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital
or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend,
spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”),
at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution
to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the
date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided,
however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in
the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent); provided, that such Purchase
Right shall terminate on, and shall not be held in abeyance for any period subsequent to the Termination Date.
d)
Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or
more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person (other than for the purpose
of changing the Company’s name), (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer,
conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct
or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which
holders of the outstanding equity securities of the Company having voting power are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares
for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of outstanding securities representing more than 50% of the
aggregate voting power of the issued and outstanding equity securities 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 securities representing more than 50% of the aggregate voting
power, including the power to vote on the election of directors of the Company, of the issued and outstanding equity securities 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 require any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the
survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and
the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and
shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by
a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares
of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon
exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and
with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative
value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number
of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately
prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder.
Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall 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.
e)
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the
case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date
shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
f)
Notice to Holder.
i.
Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company
shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment
to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii.
Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on
the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the
Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with
any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (and all of its subsidiaries, taken as a whole)
is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the
Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the
Holder at its last email or other address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior
to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for
the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the
holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined
or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective
or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares
of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer
or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect
the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant
during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise
be expressly set forth herein.
Section
4. Transfer of Warrant.
a)
Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof,
this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of
this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay
any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations
specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not
so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required
to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers a duly executed Assignment
Form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new
holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b)
New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of
the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by
the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division
or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided
or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Issue Date of this Warrant
and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c)
Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the
“Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the
registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder,
and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
d)
Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant
and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to
or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

ii.
(A)
This Warrant has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and (B) this Warrant constitutes the valid and binding obligations
of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except, in the case of clause (B) above, as such enforceability

of creditors generally as well as to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law).
c)
No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Warrant, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, do not and will not: (i) violate any provision of the organizational documents of the Company; (ii) violate any

their respective properties may be bound or affected or any material order, injunction, writ or decree of any governmental authority
or any arbitral award to which the Company or any of their respective properties is subject.
d)
Consents, Approvals or Waivers. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Warrant (including the authorization,
issuance and delivery of the Warrant Shares) will not be subject to or require any approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other

general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) of investors with respect to
offers or sales of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares, and neither the Company nor any Person acting on its behalf has made any offers
or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that could cause the offering or issuance of
the Warrant or the Warrant Shares to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act that could
result in none of Regulation D or any other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act to be available, nor will
the Company take any action or steps that could cause the offering or issuance of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares to be integrated
with other offerings by the Company.
f)
Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and is listed
on Nasdaq, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or is reasonably likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration

the Commission or Nasdaq regarding the termination of such registration or listing. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company
is in compliance in all material respects with the listing and listing maintenance requirements of Nasdaq applicable to it for the continued
trading of its Common Stock on Nasdaq. “SEC Reports” means (a) the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report

following the end of the most recent fiscal year for which an Annual Report on Form 10-K has been filed and prior to the date hereof,
together in each case with any documents incorporated by reference therein or exhibits thereto.
g)
No “Bad Actor” Disqualification. With respect to the Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be offered and sold hereunder
in reliance on Regulation D under the Securities Act, none of the Company, any of their predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director,
executive officer, other officer of the Company participating in the offering of Warrant and the Warrant Shares hereunder, any beneficial
owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, nor any promoter
(as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) connected with the Company in any capacity at the time of sale (each,
an “Issuer Covered Person” and, together, “Issuer Covered Persons”) is subject to any of the “Bad
Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”),
except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether
any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company has complied, to the extent applicable, with its disclosure
obligations under Rule 506(e) and has furnished to the Holder a copy of any disclosures provided thereunder.
Section
6. Tax Matters.
a)
The Company will maintain its status as an entity classified as a C corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes through the Termination
Date.
b)
The Company and the Holder intend to treat the Warrants as Common Stock and the exercise of the Warrant for Warrant Shares as a nonevent
for U.S. federal and applicable state and local tax purposes.
c)
If the Company determines that U.S. federal withholding of tax with respect to the Warrants or the Warrant Shares held by the Holder
is necessary, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Holder reasonably in advance of such withholding, and
provide the Holder with a reasonable opportunity to establish an exemption or other basis for reducing or eliminating such U.S. federal
withholding tax. The Company shall cooperate with the Holder, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Holder with
information that the Holder may request, in connection with the Holder’s tax reporting and U.S. federal withholding tax obligations
relating to the Warrants and the Warrant Shares, including with respect to each distribution payable on the Warrant Shares (whether in
cash or in kind) or deemed distribution on the Warrant or Warrant Shares, providing the Holder with a contemporaneous reasonable estimate
as to the amount of any such distribution that is expected to be treated as a dividend pursuant to Section 301(c)(1) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
d)
Each of the parties hereto agree that, for U.S. federal and applicable state income tax purposes, the Holder will, promptly following
the issue date, determine the fair market value of the Warrants as of the issue date (the “Warrant Fair Market Value”).
The parties hereto further agree to file all U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax returns consistent with the foregoing
sentence in this clause (d) except as otherwise required following a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a)
of the Code to the contrary.
e)
The Company will determine each year whether the Company is reasonably expected to become a “United States real property holding
corporation” (as defined in Section 897(c)(2) of the Code) (a “USRPHC”) for such year, and shall notify the
Holder of this determination as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of such year, provided that (i) the Company shall not
be required to make such determination in a year following such determination if the Company has determined that the relevant valuations
and any other relevant facts or information has not changed in a manner reasonably expected to impact such determination and (ii) to
the extent the Company becomes aware of any facts or other information that would reasonably be expected to result in the Company becoming
a USRPHC, the Company shall provide notice to the Holder as soon as reasonably practicable.
Section
7. 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) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash
settle an exercise of this Warrant.
b)
Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares,
and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant,
shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the
Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant
or stock certificate.
c)
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required
or granted herein shall not be a 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 the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a
sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.
The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with
the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take such
reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable
law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that
all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other
than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending
its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale
of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant,
but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary
or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise
immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may
be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from
any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e)
Nasdaq Listing. At any time that any Warrant or Warrant Shares are outstanding, the Company shall not effect any voluntary deregistration
under the Exchange Act or any voluntary delisting with Nasdaq (or any other national securities exchange upon which the Common Stock
may subsequently be listed) in respect of the Common Stock other than in connection with a Fundamental Transaction.
f)
Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed
by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts
of law thereof. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Holder each agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations,
enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against the Company or the Holder or their
respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the
state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Holder each hereby irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication
of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. The Company and, by
accepting this Warrant, the Holder each hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in
any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of
delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good
and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law. If the Company or the Holder shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any
provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their
reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action
or proceeding.
g)
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.
h)
Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall
operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision
of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material
damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting
any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
i)
Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holder hereunder including, without limitation,
any Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by email or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service,
addressed to the Company, at Soluna Holdings, Inc., 325 Washington Ave Extension, Albany, New York 12205 (Attention: Chief Financial
Officer), or such other email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holder. Any and all notices
or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by email,
or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to the Holder at the email address or address of the Holder appearing

prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication
is delivered via email at the email address set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New
York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized
overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
j)
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.
k)
Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will
be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate
compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to
assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
l)
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 such Holder.
m)
Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company on
the one hand, and the Holder of this Warrant on the other hand.
n)
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.
o)
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.
p)
Electronic Signatures. This Warrant may be executed in any number of original or facsimile counterparts, each of which shall for
all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The words

agreement or document related to this Warrant shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other
electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf,” “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures

limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of
the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based recordkeeping system to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New
York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on

Company’s and its subsidiaries’ financial condition, business, results of operations and prospects sufficient to enable the
Purchaser to evaluate this investment in the Purchased Membership Interests.

and the Warrant, duly executed on behalf of the Company.
2. INVESTOR’S
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
The
Investor represents and warrants to the Company that as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:
(a) Investment
Purpose. The Investor is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view towards, or for
resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered under or exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Investor does not agree, or make
any representation or warranty, to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose
of the Securities at any time in accordance with, or pursuant to, a registration statement covering such Securities or an available exemption
under the Securities Act. The Investor does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person
(as defined below) to distribute any of the Securities in violation of applicable securities laws. As used herein, “Person”
means a corporation, a limited liability company, an association, a partnership, an organization, a business, an individual, a governmental
or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency
(b) Accredited
Investor Status. The Investor is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.
(c) Reliance
on Exemptions. The Investor understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from
the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth
and accuracy of, and the Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings
of the Investor set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Investor to acquire
the Securities.
2
(d) Information.
The Investor and its advisors (and its counsel), if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and
operations of the Company and information the Investor deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding its purchase
of the Securities, which have been requested by the Investor. The Investor and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity
to ask questions of the Company and its management and have received answers to such questions. Neither such inquiries nor any other
due diligence investigations conducted by the Investor or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect
the Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below. The Investor acknowledges
and agrees that the Company has not made to the Investor, and the Investor acknowledges and agrees it has not relied upon, any representations
and warranties of the Company, its employees or any third party other than the representations and warranties of the Company contained
in this Agreement. The Investor understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. The Investor has sought
such accounting, legal and tax advice, as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition
of the Securities.
(e) Transfer
or Resale. The Investor understands that: (i) the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities
laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) the Investor
shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such Securities to be sold,
assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements, or (C) the
Investor provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and broker representation letters) that such Securities
can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended (or a successor rule thereto)
(collectively, “Rule 144”), in each case following the applicable holding period set forth therein; and (ii) any sale
of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is
not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may
be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under
the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may be pledged in
connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities
shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and the Investor effecting a pledge of Securities
shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document, including, without limitation, this Section 2(e).
3
(f) Legends.
The Investor agrees to the imprinting, so long as its required by this Section 2(f), of a restrictive legend on the Securities in substantially
the following form:
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE [AND THOSE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THEY ARE EXERCISABLE] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES [AND THOSE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THEY ARE EXERCISABLE]
HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED SOLELY FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TOWARD RESALE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED
OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID
ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE
MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
Certificates
evidencing the Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth above), (i) while a registration statement
covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Warrant Shares pursuant to
Rule 144, (iii) if such Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, 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 SEC). If a legend
is not required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall no later than two (2) Trading Days (or such earlier date as required pursuant
to the Exchange Act (as defined below) or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the date
the Investor delivers such legended certificate representing such securities to the Company) following the delivery by the Investor to
the Company or the transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing such securities (endorsed or with
stock powers attached, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), together with any other
deliveries from the Investor as may be required above in this Section 2(f), as directed by the Investor, either: (A) provided that the
Company’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit the aggregate number of
shares of Common Shares to which the Investor shall be entitled to the Investor’s or its designee’s balance account with
DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (B) if the Company’s transfer agent is not participating in the DTC Fast
Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the Investor, a certificate representing
such securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of the Investor or its designee. The Investor
agrees that the removal of a restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 2(f) is predicated
upon the Company’s reliance that the Investor 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.
(g) Organization;
Authority. The Investor is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of
its organization with the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction

4
(h) Authorization,
Enforcement. The Transaction Documents to which the Investor is a party have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered

in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable
creditors’ rights and remedies.
(i) No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Agreement and the consummation by the Investor of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Investor, (ii) conflict with,
or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Investor is a
party or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities
laws) applicable to the Investor, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations
which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Investor
to perform its obligations hereunder.

General Solicitation. The Investor is not purchasing or acquiring the Securities as a result of any general solicitation or general
advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.

qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the

rights and remedies and except as rights to indemnification and to contribution may be limited by federal or state securities law. “Transaction

any Governmental Entity (as defined below) or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for it to execute,
deliver or perform any of its material obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in each case, in accordance with

(f) Acknowledgment
Regarding the Investor’s Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is acting solely in
the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby and that the Investor is not (i) an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) to its knowledge, an
“affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule
144”)) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) to its knowledge, a “beneficial owner” of more than 10%

(nor any affiliate of the Investor) is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or in any
similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and any advice given
by the Investor or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby is merely incidental to the Investor’s purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to the Investor
that the Company’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents to which it is a party has been based solely on the independent
evaluation by the Company and its representatives.
(g) No
Integrated Offering. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their affiliates, nor any Person acting on 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 require approval of shareholders of the Company under any applicable shareholders approval
provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on which any
of the securities of the Company are listed or designated for quotation. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates nor
any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps that would cause the offering of any of the Securities to be integrated
with other offerings of securities of the Company.
(h) Dilutive
Effect. The Company understands and acknowledges that the number of Warrant Shares may increase in certain circumstances. The Company
further acknowledges its obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms thereof is,

of the Company.

(i) [Reserved].
(j) SEC
Documents; Financial Statements. During the two (2) years prior to the date hereof, the Company has filed all reports, schedules,
forms, proxy statements, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits and appendices included therein and financial
statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the “SEC
Documents”). The Company has delivered or has made available to the Investor or their respective representatives true, correct
and complete copies of each of the SEC Documents not available on the EDGAR system. As of their respective dates (or, if amended or superseded
by a subsequent filing prior to the date hereof, as of the date of such subsequent filing), the SEC Documents complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they
were filed with the SEC (or, if amended or superseded by a subsequent filing prior to the date hereof, as of the date of such subsequent
filing), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective
dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with applicable accounting
requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect as of the time of filing. Such financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), consistently applied,
during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the
case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly
present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and
cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments which will not
be material, either individually or in the aggregate). The reserves, if any, established by the Company or the lack of reserves, if applicable,
are reasonable based upon facts and circumstances known by the Company on the date hereof and there are no loss contingencies that are
required to be accrued by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board which are
not provided for by the Company in its financial statements or otherwise. No other information provided by or on behalf of the Company
to any of the Investor which is not included in the SEC Documents (including, without limitation, information referred to in Section
2(d) or in the Disclosure Schedule to this Agreement) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or were
made. The Company is not currently contemplating to amend or restate any of the financial statements (including, without limitation,
any notes or any letter of the independent accountants of the Company with respect thereto) included in the SEC Documents (the “Financial
Statements”), nor is the Company currently aware of facts or circumstances which would require the Company to amend or restate
any of the Financial Statements, in each case, in order for any of the Financials Statements to be in compliance with GAAP and the rules
and regulations of the SEC. The Company has not been informed by its independent accountants that they recommend that the Company amend
or restate any of the Financial Statements or that there is any need for the Company to amend or restate any of the Financial Statements.
9
(k) Absence
of Certain Changes. Since the date of the Company’s most recent audited financial statements contained in a Form 10-K and other
than as disclosed in the Company’s SEC filings, there has been no Material Adverse Effect, nor any event or occurrence specifically
affecting the Company or its Subsidiaries that would be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of
the Company’s most recent audited financial statements contained in a Form 10-K and other than as disclosed in the Company’s
SEC filings, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has (i) declared or paid any dividends, (ii) sold any material assets, individually
or in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business or (iii) made any material capital expenditures, individually or in the
aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business, in each case, except as disclosed in the SEC Documents. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
receivership, liquidation or winding up, nor does the Company or any Subsidiary have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of their
respective creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably
lead a creditor to do so. The Company and its Direct and Indirect Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are not as of the date hereof,
and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the Closing, will not be Insolvent (as defined below). For
purposes of this Section 3(k), “Insolvent” means, with respect to the Company and its Direct and Indirect Subsidiaries
on a consolidated basis, that the present fair saleable value of the Company’s and its Direct and Indirect Subsidiaries’
assets, taken as a whole, is less than the amount required to pay the Company’s and its Direct and Indirect Subsidiaries’
total Indebtedness (as defined below) as such Indebtedness becomes absolute and matured in accordance with its terms or (B) the Company
and its Direct and Indirect Subsidiaries are unable to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such
debts and liabilities become absolute and matured. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any business or in
any transaction, and is not about to engage in any business or in any transaction, for which the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s
remaining assets constitute unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is
now conducted and is proposed to be conducted.
(l) No
Undisclosed Events, Liabilities, Developments or Circumstances. Except as disclosed in any Company filed Form 10-K and/or Form 8-K,
no event, liability, development or circumstance has occurred or exists, or is reasonably expected to exist or occur specific to the
Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, properties, liabilities, prospects, operations (including results
thereof) or condition (financial or otherwise), that (i) would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities
laws on a registration statement filed with the SEC relating to an issuance and sale by the Company of its Common Shares and which has
not been publicly announced, or (ii) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
10
(m) Conduct
of Business; Regulatory Permits. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term under its Articles
of Incorporation, any certificate of designation, preferences or rights of any other outstanding series of preferred stock of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries or Bylaws or their organizational charter, certificate of formation, memorandum of association, articles of
association, Articles of Incorporation or certificate of incorporation or bylaws, respectively. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
is in violation of any judgment, decree or order or any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will conduct its business in violation of any of the foregoing, except
in all cases for violations which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Company is not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of the Principal Market and has no
knowledge of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of trading of the Common Shares by the
Principal Market in the foreseeable future. During the one year prior to the date hereof, (i) the Common Shares have been listed or designated
for quotation on the Principal Market, (ii) trading in the Common Shares has not been suspended by the SEC or the Principal Market and
(iii) other than as disclosed in the Company’s SEC filings, the Company has received no communication, written or oral, from the
SEC or the Principal Market regarding the suspension or delisting of the Common Shares from the Principal Market, which has not been
publicly disclosed. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate
regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations
or permits would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate,
authorization or permit. There is no agreement, commitment, judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries or to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party which has or would reasonably be expected to have the
effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any acquisition of property
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the conduct of business by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as currently conducted
other than such effects, individually or in the aggregate, which have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(n) Foreign
Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor to the Company’s knowledge, any director, officer, agent,
or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (individually and collectively, a “Company Affiliate”) has violated
the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”) or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption laws, nor
has any Company Affiliate offered, paid, promised to pay, or authorized the payment of any money, or offered, given, promised to give,
or authorized the giving of anything of value, to any officer, employee or any other Person acting in an official capacity for any Governmental
Entity to any political party or official thereof or to any candidate for political office (individually and collectively, a “Government
Official”) or to any Person under circumstances where such Company Affiliate knew or was aware of a high probability that all
or a portion of such money or thing of value would be offered, given or promised, directly or indirectly, to any Government Official,
for the purpose, in violation of applicable law, of: (i) (A) influencing any act or decision of such Government Official in his/her official
capacity, (B) inducing such Government Official to do or omit to do any act in violation of his/her lawful duty, (C) securing any improper
advantage, or (D) inducing such Government Official to influence or affect any act or decision of any Governmental Entity, or (ii) assisting
the Company or its Subsidiaries in obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing business to, the Company or its Subsidiaries.

who are “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and calculated based on the assumption that only officers,
directors and holders of at least 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares are “affiliates” without
conceding that any such Persons are “affiliates” for purposes of federal securities laws) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
To the Company’s knowledge, no Person owns 10% or more of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares (calculated
based on the assumption that all Convertible Securities (as defined below), whether or not presently exercisable or convertible, have
been fully exercised or converted (as the case may be) taking account of any limitations on exercise or conversion (including “blockers”)
contained therein without conceding that such identified Person is a 10% shareholder for purposes of federal securities laws). “Convertible
Securities” means any capital stock or other security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is at any time and under
any circumstances directly or indirectly convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or which otherwise entitles the holder thereof
to acquire, any capital stock or other security of the Company (including, without limitation, Common Shares) or any of its Subsidiaries.

than those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses and which, individually
or in the aggregate, do not or would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement: (x)
“Indebtedness” of any Person means, without duplication all indebtedness for borrowed money.
13
(q) Litigation.
There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory

rights, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, service names, service marks, service mark registrations, or trade
secrets, except as has not had and would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

foreign, federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject,

would have or would be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect..

The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks
and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its
Subsidiaries are engaged. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and

that would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

bank or financial institution, temporarily or otherwise, as a result of OFAC concerns.
(z) Disclosure.
The Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Investor or their agents or counsel
with any information that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute material, non-public information concerning the Company

any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) in connection with

(i) Indemnification.
(i) In
consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and
in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify
and hold harmless the Investor and each holder of any Securities and their respective affiliates, and each of the foregoing’s respective
officers, directors, managers, members, partners, employees and each person who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any
and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and reasonable and documented
expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder
is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred
by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any material misrepresentation or material breach of any representation
or warranty made by the Company in any of the Transaction Documents or (ii) any material breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation
of the Company or any Subsidiary contained in any of the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable
to the extent that any Indemnified Liabilities arise out of or result from (A) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith
of such Indemnitee, (B) any material breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, or (C) any inaccuracy
in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by such Indemnitee in any of the Transaction Documents.
29
(ii) Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 9(i) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental
action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against
the Company under this Section 9(i), deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company shall have
the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain
its own counsel with the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Company if: (A) the Company has
agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (B) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified
Liability and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (C) the named parties
to any such Indemnified Liability (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the Company, and such Indemnitee
shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee
and the Company (in which case, if such Indemnitee notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense
of the Company, then the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the
Company), provided further, that in the case of clause (C) above the Company shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses
of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for the Indemnitees. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection
with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liability by the Company and shall furnish to the Company all information
reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or Indemnified Liability. The Company shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably
apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Company shall not be liable
for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the Company
shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee,
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof
the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability or
litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification
as provided for hereunder, the Company shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or
corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within
a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnitee under this
Section 9(i), except to the extent that the Company is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(iii) The
indemnification required by this Section 9(i) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, within ten (10) days after bills supporting the Indemnified Liabilities are received by the Company.
(iv) The
indemnity agreement contained herein shall be in addition to (A) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against the Company
or others, and (B) any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to the law; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company
be liable for any consequential, special, incidental, indirect or punitive damages.
(j) No
Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their
mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
(k) No
Waiver. Any waiver by a party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver
of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure of a party to insist upon
strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the
right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may
be waived or amended other than by a written agreement signed by the parties to this Agreement. No custom or practice of the parties
at variance with the terms hereof shall constitute a waiver by any party of its right to exercise any right, power or remedy available
to it hereunder or any other right, power or remedy or to demand strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

GUARANTY
AGREEMENT
This
Guaranty (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Guaranty”)
is made as of April 15, 2026, by SOLUNA WIND HOLDINGS, INC., a Nevada corporation, and any subsequent party that may join in this
Guaranty, the “Guarantors”) in favor of YA II PN, LTD. (“YA II” or the “Creditor”),
with respect to all obligations of SOLUNA HOLDINGS, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Debtor”) owed to the Creditor.
RECITALS
WHEREAS,
the Creditor and the Debtor have entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Agreement”) on April 15, 2026 pursuant to which the Creditor shall provide a loan
to the Debtor to be evidenced by a promissory note issued to the Creditor (the “Promissory Note”) pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the Agreement, in the amount of $12.0 million;
WHEREAS,
it is a condition precedent to the Creditor’s obligation to provide the loan to the Debtor that each Guarantor guarantees all of
the Debtor’s obligations under the Agreement, the Promissory Note issued thereunder, and all other instruments, agreements or other
items, in each case, executed or delivered in connection with the Agreement and the Promissory Note (collectively, the “Transaction
Documents”) by the Debtor to the Creditor in connection with or related to the Agreement. The Creditor is only willing to enter
into the Agreement and provide loans to the Creditor if each Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver to the Creditor this Guaranty; and
WHEREAS,
the Guarantors are majority owned subsidiaries of the Creditor and will benefit, directly or indirectly, from the Debtor entering into
the Agreement, the making of the loan, and other Transaction Documents and extensions of credit the Creditor will make to Debtor;
NOW,
THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor covenants
and agrees as follows:
1.
Guaranty of Payment and Performance. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby guarantees to the Creditor the full,
prompt and unconditional payment when due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), of all obligations of the Debtor to the
Creditor under the Transaction Documents (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Obligations”). This Guaranty is an
absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual payment of the Obligations and not of their collectability only
and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that the Creditor first attempt to collect any of the Obligations from the Debtor or
resort to any security or other means of obtaining their payment. Should the Debtor default in the payment of any of the Obligations,
the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall become immediately due and payable to the Creditor, without demand or notice of any
nature, all of which are expressly waived by the Guarantors.
2. Limited
Guaranty. The liability of the Guarantors hereunder shall be limited to the amount of the Obligations due to the Creditor. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the Obligations shall not include, and the Guarantors shall have no liability for:
(a) any consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages or (b) any obligations arising from the Creditor’s bad faith, gross
negligence, or willful misconduct.
3. Waivers
by Guarantors; Creditor’s Freedom to Act. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that the Obligations will be paid and performed
strictly in accordance with their terms regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting
any of such terms or the rights of the Creditor with respect thereto. Each Guarantor waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceptance,
notice of Obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind, all defenses that may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay,
moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect (other than payment in full of the Obligations), any right to require
the marshalling of assets of the Debtor, and all suretyship defenses generally. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Guarantor agrees to the provisions of any instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any Obligation and
agrees that the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected
by (i) the failure of the Creditor to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Debtor; (ii) any extensions
or renewals of any Obligation for a period not exceeding one hundred eighty (180) days, or any non-material alteration of the terms of
any Obligation; provided that any material alteration of the terms of any Obligation (including any increase in the principal amount,
interest rate, or acceleration of maturity schedule) shall require the prior written consent of the Guarantors; (iii) any non-material
rescissions, waivers, amendments or modifications of any of the terms or provisions of any agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise
executed in connection with any Obligation; (iv) the substitution or release of any entity primarily or secondarily liable for any Obligation;
or (v) the adequacy of any rights the Creditor may have against any collateral or other means of obtaining payment or performance of
the Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, the Guarantors shall not be liable for, and shall retain all defenses
arising from, any act or omission of the Creditor constituting bad faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.
4. Unenforceability
of Obligations Against Debtor. If for any reason the Debtor is under no legal obligation to discharge or perform any of the Obligations,
or if any of the Obligations have become irrecoverable from the Debtor by operation of law or for any other reason, this Guaranty shall
nevertheless be binding on the Guarantors to the same extent as if the Guarantors at all times had been the principal obligors on all
such Obligations. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization of the Debtor, or for any other reason, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement
evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any Obligation shall be immediately due and payable by the Guarantors.
5. Subrogation;
Subordination. Until the payment and performance in full of all Obligations, the Guarantors shall not exercise any rights against
the Debtor arising as a result of payment by the Guarantors hereunder, by way of subrogation or otherwise, and will not prove any claim
in competition with the Creditor in respect of any payment hereunder in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of any nature; the Guarantors
will not claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Debtor in respect of any liability of the Guarantors to the Debtor; and the Guarantors
waive any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral that may be held by the Creditor. The payment of any amounts due
with respect to any indebtedness of the Debtor now or hereafter held by the Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in
full of the Obligations. The Guarantor agrees that after the occurrence of any default in the payment or performance of the Obligations,
the Guarantors will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of the Debtor to the Guarantors until the
Obligations shall have been paid or performed in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Guarantors shall collect, enforce
or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by the Guarantor as trustee
for the Creditor and be paid over to the Creditor on account of the Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of the
Guarantors under the other provisions of this Guaranty.
2
7.
Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is irrevocable and shall continue until such time as the Obligations have been
paid or performed in full. Upon such payment in full, this Guaranty shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.
This Guaranty shall be reinstated if at any time any payment made or value received with respect to an Obligation is rescinded or must
otherwise be returned by the Creditor upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Debtor, or otherwise, all as though such
payment had not been made or value received.
8.
Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns, and shall inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Creditor and the Creditor’s shareholders, officers, directors, agents, successors and
assigns.
9. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty
nor consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Creditor.
No failure on the part of the Creditor to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof;
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right.
10. Notices.
All notices and other communications called for hereunder to the Creditor or the Debtor shall be made in writing as provided in the Agreement.
All notices and other communications called for hereunder to the Guarantors shall be made in writing as provided on Schedule I attached
hereto or as the Guarantors may otherwise notify the Creditor.
11. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Guaranty is
intended to take effect as a sealed instrument and shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York (excluding the laws applicable to conflicts or choice of law). The Guarantor agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this Guaranty
may be brought in the courts of the State of New York, New York County and consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such court and
to service of process in any such suit’s being made upon any Guarantor by mail at the address set forth at the head of this Guaranty.
The Guarantor hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such
suit was brought in an inconvenient court. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT
IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF OR THE FINANCINGS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,
THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE
OTHER PARTY HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
PARAGRAPH.
12. Counterparts;
Effectiveness. This Guaranty may be executed in identical counterparts, both which 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. Facsimile or other electronically
scanned and delivered signatures (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com), including by e-mail
attachment, shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes of this Guaranty.
