Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 22, 2026, Altimmune, Inc. (the
“Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Leerink Partners
LLC and Barclays Capital Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”) pursuant
to which the Company agreed to issue and sell (i) 64,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share
(the “Common Stock”)
and accompanying common stock warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock
(the “Common Stock Warrants”), to the Underwriters at a public offering price
of $3.00 per share and (ii) in lieu of Common Stock to certain investors that so choose, pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded
Warrants” and together with the Common Stock Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 10,750,000 shares
of Common Stock to the Underwriters at a public offering price of $2.999 per Pre-Funded Warrant (the “Offering”). Each
share of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrant is being offered and sold with an accompanying Common Stock Warrant to purchase shares of
Common Stock (or Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof). The Offering closed on April 24, 2026.
The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering
are expected to be approximately $211.2 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses
payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with its existing cash, cash equivalents
and marketable securities assuming the closing of the Offering, to continue to advance the clinical development of pemvidutide, including
funding and preparation for its global pivotal Phase 3 trial in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (“MASH”),
to initiate pre-commercial activities for its lead program, and for general corporate purposes.
Each Common Stock Warrant is exercisable for one
share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The Common Stock Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original
issuance and may be exercised until the date that is the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date and (ii) 45
days following the Company’s public announcement of a successful data readout of Phase 3 trial of pemvidutide in MASH. The “Beneficial
Ownership Limitation” shall be either 4.99% or 9.99% (at the election of the holder of the Common Stock Warrant (the “Holder”))
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 the Common Stock Warrant. The Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation provisions, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 19.99% 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 the Common Stock Warrant,
with additional provisions continuing 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.
Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one
share of common stock. The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will equal the price per share at which shares of the Company’s
common stock are being sold to the public in this offering, less the $0.001 exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded
Warrants do not expire, and each Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable at any time after the date of issuance, subject to an ownership
limitation. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant. The Holder, upon written
notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions, provided that the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation in no event exceeds 19.99% 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 the Pre-Funded Warrant, with additional provisions continuing 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 Company does not intend to list the Warrants
on the Nasdaq Global Market, any other national securities exchange or any other nationally recognized trading system. The foregoing summaries
of the Common Stock Warrant and of the Pre-Funded Warrant are qualified in their entirety by reference to the form of Common Stock Warrant
and the form of Pre-Funded Warrant, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively, and incorporated
herein by reference.
The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s
registration statements on Form S-3 (File No. 333-291329) declared effective as of December 5, 2025, a registration statement
on Form S-3 (File No. 333-285355), effective March 13, 2025 and a registration statement on Form S-3MEF (File No. 333-295254)
effective as of April 22, 2026 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant
to Rule 462(b) (collectively, the “Registration Statements”), each of which contains a prospectus. The preliminary
prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to and describing the terms of the Offering were filed with the Commission
on April 22, 2026 and a final prospectus was filed on April 23, 2026.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary
representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and also provides for customary indemnification obligations of the Company and
the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The representations, warranties and covenants
contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates and were solely for the
benefit of the parties to such agreement. The foregoing summary of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Introductory. Altimmune, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule A (the
“Underwriters”) (i) an aggregate of 64,250,000 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock,
par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”); (ii) pre-funded warrants of the Company to purchase an aggregate

Stock (or Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof) at an exercise price of $3.00 per share in a form to be mutually agreed upon by the Company

The Shares and the Warrants are collectively referred to as the “Offered Securities.” Leerink Partners LLC (“Leerink

(in such capacity, the “Representatives”) in connection with the offering and sale of the Offered Securities. To the

“Final Prospectus Supplement”), together with the Base Prospectuses in the form first used by the Underwriters to
confirm sales of the Offered Securities or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers
pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act. References herein to the Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus and the
Prospectus shall refer to both the prospectus supplement and the Base Prospectuses of such prospectus. As used herein, the “Applicable
Time” is [9:30] p.m. (New York City time) on April 22, 2026. As used herein, “free writing prospectus”
has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the Preliminary
Prospectus, as amended or supplemented immediately prior to the Applicable Time, together with the free writing prospectus identified
in Schedule B hereto, if any, and the pricing information identified in Schedule C hereto. As used herein, “Road

Act). As used herein, “Marketing Materials” means any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the

or supplements to the Registration Statements, the Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, the Base Prospectuses, the Time
of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”)
that is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statements, the Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus,
the Base Prospectuses, or the Prospectus, as the case may be. All references in this Agreement to (i) the Registration Statements,

The Company hereby confirms its agreements with
the Underwriters as follows:
Section 1. Representations
and Warranties.
The Company hereby represents, warrants and covenants
to each Underwriter, as of the date of this Agreement, as of the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), as follows:
(a) Compliance
with Registration Requirements. The Registration Statements have become effective under the Securities Act. The Company has complied,
to the Commission’s satisfaction, with all requests of the Commission for additional or supplemental information, if any. No stop
orders suspending the effectiveness of either registration statement comprising the Registration Statements is in effect and no proceedings
for such purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated or threatened by the Commission.
At the time the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report”)
was filed with the Commission, or, if later, at the time each registration statement comprising the Registration Statements was originally
filed with the Commission, the Company met the then applicable requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act. As of
the date of this Agreement, the Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act specified in FINRA Conduct
Rule 5110(h)(1)(C). The Commission has not notified the Company of any objection to the use of the form of either registration statement
comprising the Registration Statements or any post-effective amendment thereto. The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, at the time they were or hereafter are filed
with the Commission, or became effective under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, complied and will comply in all material respects
with the requirements of the Exchange Act.
(b) Disclosure.
Each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus when filed complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and, if filed by
electronic transmission pursuant to EDGAR, was identical (except as may be permitted by Regulation S-T under the Securities Act)
to the copy thereof delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offer and sale of the Offered Securities. Each of the
registration statements comprising the Registration Statements and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time it became or becomes
effective, complied and will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and did not and will not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
As of the Applicable Time, the Time of Sale Prospectus did not, and at the Closing Date, will not, contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. The Prospectus, as of its date, did not, and at the Closing Date, will not, contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. The representations and warranties set forth in the three immediately preceding sentences do not
apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statements or any post-effective amendment thereto, or the Prospectus or the
Time of Sale Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating
to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed
that the only such information consists of the information described in Section 9(b) below. The documents incorporated by reference
in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus did not, and any further documents filed and incorporated by reference therein will
not, when filed with the Commission, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. There are no contracts or other

the Securities Act has been, or will be, filed with the Commission in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Each free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required

the Company complies or will comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 433 under the Securities Act, including
timely filing with the Commission, retention and legending, as applicable, and each such free writing prospectus, as of its issue date
and at all subsequent times through the completion of the offer and sale of the Offered Securities did not, does not and will not include
any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statements, the Prospectus
or any preliminary prospectus unless such information has been superseded or modified as of such time. Except for the free writing prospectuses,

Company has not prepared, used or referred to, and will not, without the Representatives’ prior written consent, prepare, use or
refer to, any free writing prospectus. Each Road Show, when considered together with the Time of Sale Prospectus, did not, as
of the Applicable Time, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(d) Distribution

the Offered Securities and (ii) the expiration of 30 days after the date of the Prospectus, the Company has not distributed and

Agreement, will be valid and legally binding agreements of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms
except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws

the Warrants in a number sufficient to meet the current exercise requirements. The Warrant Shares, when issued and delivered upon exercise
of the Warrants in accordance therewith, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance,

or debt securities registered for sale under the Registration Statements or included in the offering contemplated by this Agreement,
except for such rights as have been duly waived.

any transactions not in the ordinary course of business; and (iii) there has not been any material decrease in the capital stock
or any material increase in any short-term or long-term indebtedness of the Company or its subsidiaries and there has been no dividend
or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company or, except for dividends paid to the Company or other subsidiaries,
by any of the Company’s subsidiaries on any class of capital stock, or any repurchase or redemption by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries of any class of capital stock.
(j) Independent
Accountants. Ernst & Young LLP, which has expressed its opinion with respect to the financial statements (which term

of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and the results of their operations, changes in stockholders’ equity

of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied
on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved, except as may be expressly stated in the related notes thereto. The interactive

information called for in all material respects and has been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines
applicable thereto. No other financial statements or supporting schedules are required to be included in the Registration Statements,
the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus. The financial data incorporated by reference into each of the registration statements
comprising the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus fairly presents the information set forth therein
on a basis consistent with that of the audited financial statements contained in the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus
and the Prospectus. To the Company’s knowledge, no person who has been suspended or barred from being associated with a registered
public accounting firm, or who has failed to comply with any sanction pursuant to Rule 5300 promulgated by the PCAOB, has participated
in or otherwise aided in the preparation of, or audited, the financial statements, supporting schedules or other financial data filed
with the Commission as a part of the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus, and the Prospectus.
5
(l) Company’s
Accounting System. The Company and each of its subsidiaries make and keep accurate books and records and maintain a system of
internal accounting controls designed, and which the Company reasonably believes is sufficient, to provide reasonable assurance that:
(i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets;
(iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (iv) the
recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect
to any differences; and (v) the interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus fairly presents the information called for in all material
respects and is prepared in accordance with the Commission's rules and guidelines applicable thereto.
(m) Disclosure
Controls and Procedures; Deficiencies in or Changes to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The Company has established
and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act), which (i) are
designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s
principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in which
the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared; (ii) have been evaluated by management of the Company for
effectiveness as of the end of the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter; and (iii) are effective in all material respects
to perform the functions for which they were established. Since the end of the Company’s most recent audited fiscal year, there
have been no significant deficiencies or material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether
or not remediated) and no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company is not aware of any
fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the internal controls of the
Company and each of its subsidiaries or any change in its internal control over financial reporting that has occurred during its most
recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting.
(n) Incorporation
and Good Standing of the Company. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has the corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties
and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus and to enter
into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and
is in good standing in the State of Delaware and each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of
the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Change.
(o) Subsidiaries.
Each of the Company’s “subsidiaries” (for purposes of this Agreement, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act) has been duly incorporated or organized, as the case may be, and is validly existing as a corporation, partnership or limited liability
company, as applicable, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and has the power and
authority (corporate or other) to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration
Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, except where the failure to be in good standing could not reasonably be expected,
individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Change. Each of the Company’s subsidiaries is duly qualified as a
foreign corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as applicable, to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction
in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except
where the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Change.
All of the issued and outstanding capital stock or other equity or ownership interests of each of the Company’s subsidiaries have
been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company, directly or through subsidiaries,
free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or adverse claim. None
of the outstanding capital stock or equity interest in any subsidiary of the Company was issued in violation of preemptive or similar
rights of any security holder of such subsidiary. The constitutive or organizational documents of each of the Company’s subsidiaries
comply in all material respects with the requirements of applicable laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and are
in full force and effect. The Company does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any corporation, association or other entity
other than the subsidiaries listed in Exhibit 21 to the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
6
(p) Capitalization
and Other Capital Stock Matters. The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company is as set forth in the Registration
Statements and the Time of Sale Prospectus (other than for subsequent issuances, if any, pursuant to employee benefit plans, or upon
the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, in each case described in the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus and
the Prospectus). All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid
and nonassessable and have been issued in compliance with all federal and state laws and conform to the description thereof contained
in the Time of Sale Prospectus. None of the outstanding shares of Common Stock was issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights
of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company. There are no authorized or outstanding
options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase, or equity or debt securities convertible into
or exchangeable or exercisable for, any capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than those described in the Registration
Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus and, if any, they have been duly authorized and validly issued, conform to
the description thereof contained in the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus and were issued in compliance
with federal and state securities laws. The descriptions of the Company’s stock option, stock bonus and other stock plans or arrangements,
and the options or other rights granted thereunder, set forth in the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus
accurately and fairly presents, in all material respects, the information required to be shown with respect to such plans, arrangements,
options and rights. The description of the Offered Securities, including the Warrant Shares, in the Registration Statements, the Time
of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus is complete and accurate in all material respects. Except as disclosed in or contemplated by the
Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus or Prospectus, as of the date referred to therein, the Company does not have outstanding
any options to purchase, or any rights or warrants to subscribe for, or any securities or obligations convertible into, or exchangeable
for, or any contracts or commitments to issue or sell, any shares of capital stock or other securities.
(q) Stock
Exchange Listing. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and is
listed on The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”), and the Company has taken no action designed to, or likely to have
the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or delisting the Common Stock from Nasdaq, nor
has the Company received any notification that the Commission or the Nasdaq is contemplating terminating such registration or listing.
To the Company’s knowledge, it is in compliance with all applicable listing requirements of Nasdaq.
7
(r) Non-Contravention
of Existing Instruments; No Further Authorizations or Approvals Required. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is
in violation of its charter or by-laws, partnership agreement or operating agreement or similar organizational documents, as applicable,
or is in default (or, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, would be in default) (“Default”) under any indenture,
loan, credit agreement, note, lease, license agreement, contract, franchise or other instrument (including, without limitation, any pledge
agreement, security agreement, mortgage or other instrument or agreement evidencing, guaranteeing, securing or relating to indebtedness)
to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of their respective
properties or assets are subject (each, an “Existing Instrument”), except for such Defaults as would not reasonably
be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change. The Company’s execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement and the Warrants, consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Registration Statements, the Time
of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus and the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities (including the use of proceeds from the sale
of the Offered Securities as described in the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption
“Use of Proceeds”) and the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants (i) have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action and will not result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws, partnership agreement
or operating agreement or similar organizational documents, as applicable, of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) will not conflict
with or constitute a breach of, or Default or a Debt Repayment Triggering Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or
imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, or require
the consent of any other party to, any Existing Instrument, and (iii) will not result in any violation of any law, administrative
regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except in the case of clauses (ii) and
(iii), as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Change. No consent, approval,
authorization or other order of, or registration or filing with, any court or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency, is
required for the Company’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Warrants and consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and by the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, except such as have been obtained
or made by the Company and are in full force and effect under the Securities Act and such as may be required under applicable state securities
or blue sky laws or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) or Nasdaq. As used herein, a
“Debt Repayment Triggering Event” means any event or condition which gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse
of time would give, the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s
behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company or any of
its subsidiaries.
(s) Compliance
with Laws. The Company and its subsidiaries have been and are in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations,
except where failure to be so in compliance could not be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Change.
(t) No
Material Actions or Proceedings. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus and
the Prospectus, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation brought by or before any legal or governmental entity
now pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which could
be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Change or materially and adversely affect the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder; and the aggregate
of all pending legal or governmental proceedings to which the Company or any such subsidiary is a party or of which any of their respective
properties or assets is the subject, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, if determined adversely to the
Company, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change. No material labor dispute with the employees of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries, or with the employees of any principal supplier, manufacturer, customer or contractor of the Company, exists
or, to the knowledge of the Company, is threatened or imminent.
8
(u) Intellectual
Property Rights. The Company and its subsidiaries own, or have obtained valid and enforceable licenses for, the inventions, patent
applications, patents, trademarks, trade names, service names, copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property described in
the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus as being owned or licensed by them or which are necessary
for the conduct of their respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted (collectively, “Intellectual
Property”) except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Change.
To the Company’s knowledge, and except for such third-party rights or infringements that could not reasonably be expected, individually
or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Change, and the conduct of their respective businesses does not and will not infringe,
misappropriate or otherwise conflict in any material respect with any such rights of others. The Intellectual Property of the Company
has not been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and the Company is unaware
of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such adjudication. To the Company's knowledge: (i) there are no third parties
who have rights to any Intellectual Property, except for customary reversionary rights of third-party licensors with respect to Intellectual
Property that is disclosed in the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus as licensed to the Company
or one or more of its subsidiaries; and (ii) there is no infringement by third parties of any Intellectual Property. There is no
pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others: (A) challenging the Company’s
rights in or to any Intellectual Property, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such action,
suit, proceeding or claim; (B) challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of any Intellectual Property, and the Company is
unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such action, suit, proceeding or claim; or (C) asserting that the
Company or any of its subsidiaries infringes or otherwise violates, or would, upon the commercialization of any product or service described
in the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus as under development, infringe or violate, any patent,
trademark, trade name, service name, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary rights of others, and the Company is unaware of any
facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such action, suit, proceeding or claim. The Company and its subsidiaries have complied
with the terms of each agreement pursuant to which Intellectual Property has been licensed to the Company or any subsidiary, and all
such agreements are in full force and effect. To the Company’s knowledge, there are no material defects in any of the patents or
patent applications included in the Intellectual Property. All employees or contractors engaged on behalf of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries in the development of Intellectual Property Rights have executed an invention assignment agreement whereby such employees
or contractors presently assign all of their right, title and interest in and to such Intellectual Property Rights to the Company or
the applicable subsidiary, and no such agreement has been breached or violated. The Company and its subsidiaries have taken all reasonable
steps to protect, maintain and safeguard their Intellectual Property, including the execution of appropriate employment contracts, patent
disclosure agreements, invention assignment agreements, invention assignments, non-competition agreements, non-solicitation agreements,
and nondisclosure agreements with their employees, and no employee of the Company is in or has been in violation of any term of any employment
contract, patent disclosure agreement, invention assignment agreement, non-competition agreement, non-solicitation agreement, nondisclosure
agreement, or any restrictive covenant to or with a former employer where the basis of such violation relates to such employee’s
employment with the Company. The duty of candor and good faith as required by the United States Patent and Trademark Office during the
prosecution of the United States patents and patent applications included in the Intellectual Property have been complied with; and in
all foreign offices having similar requirements, all such requirements have been complied with. None of the Company owned Intellectual
Property or technology (including information technology and outsourced arrangements) employed by the Company or its subsidiaries has
been obtained or is being used by the Company or its subsidiary in violation of any contractual obligation binding on the Company or
its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors or employees or otherwise in violation of the rights of any persons.
The product candidates described in the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus as under development
by the Company or any subsidiary fall within the scope of the claims of one or more patents or patent applications owned by, or exclusively
licensed to, the Company or any subsidiary.
9
(v) All
Necessary Permits, etc. The Company and its subsidiaries possess such valid and current certificates, authorizations or
permits required by state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies to conduct their respective businesses as currently conducted
and as described in the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus (“Permits”), except
where failure to so possess would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of, or in default under, any of the Permits or has received any notice
of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of, or non-compliance with, any such certificate, authorization or permit,
except as where such violation, default, revocation, modification or non-compliance could not reasonably be expected, individually or
in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Change.
(w) Title
to Properties. The Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all of the real and personal property and other
assets reflected as owned in the financial statements referred to in Section 1(k) above (or elsewhere in the Registration Statements,
the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus), in each case free and clear of any security interests, mortgages, liens, encumbrances,
equities, adverse claims and other defects, except where failure to so possess would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in
the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change. The real property, improvements, equipment and personal property held under lease
by the Company or any of its subsidiaries are held under valid and enforceable leases, with such exceptions as are not material and do
not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such real property, improvements, equipment or personal property
by the Company or such subsidiary.
(x) Tax
Law Compliance. The Company and its subsidiaries have filed all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns required to be
filed by the Company and its subsidiaries or have properly requested extensions thereof (and such returns were when filed complete and
correct in all material respects), and have paid all taxes required to be paid by any of them and, if due and payable, any related or
similar assessment, fine or penalty levied against any of them, except as may be being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings
or where the failure to file such tax returns or to pay such taxes would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material
Adverse Change. The Company has made adequate charges, accruals and reserves in the applicable financial statements referred to in Section 1(k) in
respect of all taxes for all periods as to which the tax liability of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has not been finally determined.
The Company and its subsidiaries do not have any tax deficiencies or claims outstanding or assessed or, to the Company’s knowledge,
proposed against them, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.
(y) Insurance.
Each of the Company and its subsidiaries are insured by recognized, financially sound and reputable institutions with policies in such
amounts and with such deductibles and covering such risks as are generally deemed adequate and customary for their businesses including,
but not limited to, policies covering real and personal property owned or leased by the Company and its subsidiaries against theft, damage,
destruction, acts of vandalism and earthquakes and policies covering the Company and its subsidiaries for product liability claims and
clinical trial liability claims. The Company has no reason to believe that it or any of its subsidiaries will not be able (i) to
renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions
as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that could not be expected to have a Material
Adverse Change. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought or for which
it has applied.
10
(z) Compliance
with Environmental Laws. Except as could not be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Change:
(i) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, law, rule,
regulation, ordinance, code, policy or rule of common law or any judicial or administrative interpretation thereof, including any
judicial or administrative order, consent, decree or judgment, relating to pollution or protection of human health, the environment (including,
without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata) or wildlife, including, without limitation,
laws and regulations relating to the release or threatened release of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, wastes, toxic substances,
hazardous substances, petroleum or petroleum products (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) or to the manufacture,
processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials (collectively, “Environmental
Laws”); (ii) the Company and its subsidiaries have all permits, authorizations and approvals required under any applicable
Environmental Laws and are each in compliance with their requirements; (iii) there are no pending or threatened administrative,
regulatory or judicial actions, suits, demands, demand letters, claims, liens, notices of non-compliance or violation, investigation
or proceedings relating to any Environmental Law against the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and (iv) to the Company’s
knowledge, there are no events or circumstances that might reasonably be expected to form the basis of an order for clean-up or remediation,
or an action, suit or proceeding by any private party or governmental body or agency, against or affecting the Company or any of its
subsidiaries relating to Hazardous Materials or any Environmental Laws.
(aa) ERISA
Compliance. The Company and its subsidiaries and any “employee benefit plan” (as defined under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (collectively, “ERISA”))
established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Company, their “ERISA Affiliates”
(as defined below) are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to
the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any member of any group of organizations described in Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or
(o) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the “Code”)
of which the Company or such subsidiary is a member. No “reportable event” (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably
expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries
or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or
any of their ERISA Affiliates, if such “employee benefit plan” were terminated, would have any “amount of unfunded
benefit liabilities” (as defined under ERISA). Neither the Company, its subsidiaries nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred
or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from,
any “employee benefit plan” or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each employee benefit plan established
or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Code is so qualified and, nothing has occurred, to the Company’s knowledge, whether by action or failure to act, which would
cause the loss of such qualification.
(bb) Company
Not an “Investment Company.” The Company is not, and will not be, either after receipt of payment for the Offered
Securities or after the application of the proceeds therefrom as described under “Use of Proceeds” in the Registration Statements,
the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).
(cc) No
Price Stabilization or Manipulation; Compliance with Regulation M. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has taken,
directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would reasonably be expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation
of the price of the Shares or of any “reference security” (as defined in Rule 100 of Regulation M under the Exchange
Act (“Regulation M”)) with respect to the Shares, whether to facilitate the sale or resale of the Offered Securities
or otherwise, and has taken no action which would directly or indirectly violate Regulation M.
11

and compliant with FINRA’s rules and any letters, filings or other supplemental information provided to FINRA pursuant to

of the Company prior to the end of the Lock-up Period (as defined below), the Company shall cause each such person, prior to or contemporaneously
with their appointment or election as a director or officer of the Company, to execute and deliver to the Representatives a Lock-up Agreement.
(gg) Statistical
and Market-Related Data. All statistical, demographic and market-related data included or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus are based on or derived from sources that the Company believes, after reasonable
inquiry, to be reliable and accurate in all material respects. To the extent required, the Company has obtained the written consent to
the use of such data from such sources.
(hh) Sarbanes-Oxley

promulgated in connection therewith (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), including Section 402 related to loans and Sections
302 and 906 related to certifications.
(ii) No
Unlawful Contributions or Other Payments. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries nor, to the best of the Company’s

Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.
(jj) Anti-Corruption
and Anti-Bribery Laws. (A) None of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any director, officer or employee

or receipt of money, property, gifts or anything else of value, directly or indirectly, to any government official (including any officer
or employee of a government or government-owned or controlled entity or of a public international organization, or any person acting
in an official capacity for or on behalf of any of the foregoing, or any political party or party official or candidate for political
office) in order to influence official action, or to any person in violation of any applicable anti-corruption laws; (B) the Company
and each of its subsidiaries and affiliates have conducted their respective businesses in compliance with applicable anti-corruption

with such laws and with the representations and warranties contained herein; and (C) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries
will use, directly or indirectly, the proceeds of the offering in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization
of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any person in violation of any applicable anti-corruption laws.
12

Laundering Laws. The operations of the Company and each of its subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance
with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements, including those of the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by Title III
of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA

and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively,

any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority or third party alleging that any product operation or activity is in
violation of any Health Care Laws nor, to the Company’s knowledge, is any such claim, action, suit, proceeding, hearing, enforcement,
investigation, arbitration or other action threatened. The Company and each of the subsidiaries possesses all licenses, certificates,
authorizations and permits issued by, and has made all declarations and filings with, the appropriate local, state, federal or foreign

of their respective properties or the conduct of their respective businesses (collectively, the “Governmental Authorizations”).
The Company and the subsidiaries are in material compliance with all such Governmental Authorizations and all such Governmental Authorizations

stock of the Company.
(uu) No

Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries and delivered to any Underwriter or to counsel for the Underwriters in connection with the offering, or the
purchase and sale, of the Offered Securities shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company to each Underwriter as to the
matters covered thereby.
The Company has a reasonable basis for making
each of the representations set forth in this Section 1. The Company acknowledges that the Underwriters and, for purposes of the
opinions to be delivered pursuant to Section 6 hereof, counsel to the Company and counsel to the Underwriters, will rely upon the
accuracy and truthfulness of the foregoing representations and hereby consents to such reliance.
Section 2. Purchase,
Sale and Delivery of the Offered Securities.
(a) The
Offered Securities. Upon the terms herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the several Underwriters an aggregate
of 64,250,000 Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,750,000 shares of Common Stock and accompanying Common Warrants
to purchase an aggregate of 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock (or Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof). On the basis of the representations,
warranties and agreements herein contained, and upon the terms but subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Underwriters agree,
severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective number of Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants and accompanying Common
Warrants set forth opposite their names on Schedule A. The purchase price per Share and accompanying Common Warrant to be paid
by the several Underwriters to the Company shall be $2.82 per unit, which shall be allocated as $2.8199999 per Share and $0.0000001 per
Common Warrant (the “Share Purchase Price”) and the purchase price per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Common
Warrant to be paid by the several Underwriters to the Company shall be $2.819, which shall be allocated as $2.8189999 per Pre-Funded
Warrant and $0.0000001 per Common Warrant (the “Warrant Purchase Price”).
(b) The
Closing Date. Delivery of certificates for the Offered Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters and payment therefor shall
be made at the offices of Cooley LLP (or such other place as may be agreed to by the Company and the Representatives) at 9:00 a.m. New
York City time, on April 24, 2026 or such other time and date not later than 1:30 p.m. New York City time, on May 1,
2026 as the Representatives shall designate by notice to the Company (the time and date of such closing are called the “Closing
Date”). The Company hereby acknowledges that circumstances under which the Representatives may provide notice to postpone the
Closing Date as originally scheduled include, but are not limited to, any determination by the Company or the Representatives to recirculate
to the public copies of an amended or supplemented Prospectus or a delay as contemplated by the provisions of Section 11.
(c) Offering
of the Offered Securities. The Representatives hereby advise the Company that the Underwriters intend to offer for sale to the
purchasers, initially on the terms set forth in the Registration Statements, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, their respective
portions of the Offered Securities as soon after this Agreement has been executed as the Representatives, in their sole judgment, have
determined is advisable and practicable.
17
(d) Payment
for the Offered Securities. Payment for the Offered Securities shall be made at the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the order of the Company. It is understood that the Representatives have been authorized, for their own accounts and
the accounts of the several Underwriters, to accept delivery of and receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Shares,
the Pre-Funded Warrants and the accompanying Common Warrants, the Underwriters have agreed to purchase. Each of Leerink Partners and
Barclays, individually and not as the Representatives of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment for any Offered
Securities to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds shall not have been received by the Representatives by the Closing Date for
the account of such Underwriter, but any such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from any of its obligations under this Agreement.
(e) Delivery
of the Offered Securities. The Company shall (i) deliver, or cause to be delivered through the facilities of Depositary
Trust Company (“DTC”) unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct, to the Representatives for the accounts
of the several Underwriters the Shares at the Closing Date and (ii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Representatives or
to the purchasers thereof the Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants in definitive form, in accordance with the Underwriters’
instruction at the Closing Date, in each case, against release of a wire transfer of immediately available funds for the amount of the
purchase price therefor. If the Representatives so elect, delivery of the Offered Securities may be made by credit to the accounts designated
by the Representatives through DTC’s full fast transfer or DWAC programs. The Offered Securities shall be registered in such names
and denominations as the Representatives shall have requested at least one full business days prior to the Closing Date. Time shall be
of the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified in this Agreement is a further condition to the obligations of the Underwriters.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Representatives shall instruct purchasers of the Pre-Funded Warrants to make payment
for the Pre-Funded Warrants and accompanying Common Warrants on the Closing Date to the Company by wire transfer in immediately available
funds to the account specified by the Company at a purchase price of $2.999 per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Common Warrant, in
lieu of payment by the Underwriters for such Pre-Funded Warrants and accompanying Common Warrants, and the Company shall deliver the
Pre-Funded Warrants and accompanying Common Warrants to such purchasers on the Closing Date in definitive form against such payment,
in lieu of the Company’s obligation to deliver the Pre-Funded Warrants and accompanying Common Warrants to the Representatives;
provided that, the Underwriters shall withhold $0.18 per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Common Warrant with respect to such Pre-Funded
Warrants and accompanying Common Warrant as an offset against the payment owed by the Underwriters to the Company for the Shares against
the Company’s obligation to pay the amount so withheld with respect to such Pre-Funded Warrants and accompanying Common Warrant
to the Underwriters. In the event that any purchaser of the Pre-Funded Warrants and accompanying Common Warrant fails to make payment
to the Company for all or part of the Pre-Funded Warrants and accompanying Common Warrant on the Closing Date, the Representatives shall
either (i) make payment to the Company for such Pre-Funded Warrants and accompanying Common Warrant at the Warrant Purchase Price
or (ii) elect, by written notice to the Company, to receive Shares at the Share Purchase Price in lieu of all or a portion of such
Pre-Funded Warrants and accompanying Common Warrant contemplated to be sold under this Agreement.
18

prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities
Act or any similar rule) in connection with sales of the Offered Securities (but in any event if at any time through and including the
Closing Date) there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf
of, used by, or referred to by the Company conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statements
or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances prevailing at such time, not misleading, the Company shall promptly amend
or supplement such free writing prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict or so that the statements in such free writing prospectus
as so amended or supplemented will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances prevailing at such time, not misleading, as the case may be; provided,
however, that prior to amending or supplementing any such free writing prospectus, the Company shall furnish to the Representatives
for review, a reasonable amount of time prior to the proposed time of filing or use thereof, a copy of such proposed amended or supplemented
free writing prospectus, and the Company shall not file, use or refer to any such amended or supplemented free writing prospectus without
the Representatives’ prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
19
(d) Filing
of Underwriter Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company shall not take any action that would result in an Underwriter or the Company
being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act a free writing prospectus prepared
by or on behalf of such Underwriter that such Underwriter otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder.
(e) Amendments
and Supplements to Time of Sale Prospectus. If the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy the Offered
Securities at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers, and any event shall occur or condition exist
as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the Time of Sale Prospectus does not
include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances when delivered to a prospective purchaser, not misleading, or if any event shall occur or condition exist
as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statements, or if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to comply with applicable
law, the Company shall (subject to Section 3(b) and Section 3(c) hereof) promptly prepare, file with the Commission
and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of
Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not include an untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
when delivered to a prospective purchaser, not misleading or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no

supplemented, will comply with applicable law.
(f) Certain
Notifications and Required Actions. After the date of this Agreement, the Company shall promptly advise the Representatives in
writing of: (i) the receipt of any comments of, or requests for additional or supplemental information from, the Commission; (ii) the
time and date of any filing of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statements or any amendment or supplement to any preliminary
prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any free writing prospectus or the Prospectus; (iii) the time and date that any post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statements becomes effective; and (iv) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of either registration statement comprising the Registration Statements or any post-effective amendment thereto or
any amendment or supplement to any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus or of any order preventing or
suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any free writing prospectus or the Prospectus, or of any
proceedings to remove, suspend or terminate from listing or quotation the Common Stock from any securities exchange upon which they are
listed for trading or included or designated for quotation, or of the threatening or initiation of any proceedings for any of such purposes.
If the Commission shall enter any such stop order at any time, the Company will use its best efforts to obtain the lifting of such order
at the earliest possible moment. Additionally, the Company agrees that it shall comply with all applicable provisions of Rule 424(b),
Rule 433 and Rule 430B under the Securities Act and will use its reasonable efforts to confirm that any filings made by the
Company under Rule 424(b) or Rule 433 were received in a timely manner by the Commission.

and Supplements to the Prospectus and Other Securities Act Matters. If any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of
which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus so that the Prospectus does not include an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances when the Prospectus
is delivered (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act or any similar rule) to a purchaser,

the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, the Company agrees (subject to Section 3(b) and Section 3(c)) hereof to
promptly prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to any dealer upon request, amendments
or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not include an untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
when the Prospectus is delivered (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act or any similar
rule) to a purchaser, not misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law. Neither
the Representatives’ consent to, nor delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the Company’s
obligations under Section 3(b) or Section 3(c).
20
(h) Blue
Sky Compliance. The Company shall cooperate with the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters to qualify or register
the Offered Securities for sale under (or obtain exemptions from the application of) the state securities or blue sky laws or Canadian
provincial securities laws (or other foreign laws) of those jurisdictions designated by the Representatives, shall comply with such laws
and shall continue such qualifications, registrations and exemptions in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Offered
Securities. The Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to take any action that would subject it to general
service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not presently qualified or where it would be subject to taxation as a foreign
corporation. The Company will advise the Representatives promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any such
exemption relating to) the Offered Securities for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation or threat of any proceeding

under the Securities Act or any similar rule), file on a timely basis with the Commission and Nasdaq all reports and documents required

the Prospectus filed pursuant to EDGAR or otherwise with the Commission and in the Registration Statements at the time it was declared
effective an undertaking that, upon receipt of a request by an investor or his or her representative, the Company shall transmit or cause
to be transmitted promptly, without charge, a paper copy of the Prospectus.
(o) Agreement
Not to Offer or Sell Additional Shares. During the period commencing on and including the date hereof and continuing through
and including the 90th day following the date of the Prospectus (such period, as extended as described below, being referred to herein
as the “Lock-up Period”), the Company will not, without the prior written consent of Leerink Partners and Barclays
(which consent may be withheld in their sole discretion), directly or indirectly: (i) sell, offer to sell, contract to sell or lend

Statement for Common Warrants. The Company shall, at all times while any Common Warrants are outstanding, use its commercially reasonable

by the Representatives and the Underwriters in connection with the proposed purchase and the offering and sale of the Offered Securities,

Section 9. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification
of the Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors, officers,
employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Underwriter or such affiliate, director, officer,
employee, agent or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, other federal or state statutory
law or regulation, or the laws or regulations of foreign jurisdictions where Offered Securities have been offered or sold or at common
law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company),
insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based
upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statements, or any amendment
thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading; or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary
prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any free writing prospectus that the Company has used, referred to or filed, or is required
to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act, any Marketing Material or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
to the foregoing), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or
failure to act by any Underwriter in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Offered Securities or the offering contemplated
hereby, and which is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon
any matter covered by clause (i) or (ii) above; and to reimburse each Underwriter and each such affiliate, director, officer,
employee, agent and controlling person for any and all reasonable expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements
of counsel) as such expenses are incurred by such Underwriter or such affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person
in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action;
provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to
the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company by the Representatives
in writing expressly for use in the Registration Statements, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any such free writing
prospectus, any Marketing Material or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the
only such information consists of the information described in Section 9(b) below. The indemnity agreement set forth in this
Section 9(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company may otherwise have.
27
(b) Indemnification
of the Company, its Directors and Officers. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statements and each person, if any, who controls
the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred,
to which the Company, or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation,
if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Underwriter), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense
(or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statements, or any amendment thereto, or any omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included or incorporated by reference in any preliminary prospectus,
the Time of Sale Prospectus, any free writing prospectus that the Company has used, referred to or filed, or is required to file, pursuant
to Rule 433 of the Securities Act or the Prospectus (or any such amendment or supplement) or the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission was made in the Registration Statements, such preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, such free writing
prospectus or the Prospectus (or any such amendment or supplement), in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to such
Underwriter furnished to the Company by the Representatives in writing expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company, or any
such director, officer or controlling person for any and all reasonable expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements
of counsel) as such expenses are incurred by the Company, or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating,
defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. The Company hereby acknowledges
that the only information that the Representatives have furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Registration Statements, any
preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file,
pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to the foregoing) are the concession
figure appearing in the third paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” and the information contained in the thirteenth
paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 9(b) shall
be in addition to any liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.
28
(c) Notifications
and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under
this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying
party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party to the extent the indemnifying
party is not materially prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure and shall not in any event relieve the indemnifying party from
any liability that it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will
be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified,
by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume
the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants
in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any
such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional
to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume
such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt
of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election to so assume the defense
of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party
under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence
(it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel
(together with local counsel), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action), which counsel (together with any
local counsel) for the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representatives (in the case of counsel for the indemnified parties
referred to in Section 9(a) above) or by the Company (in the case of counsel for the indemnified parties referred to in Section 9(b) above)
or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing
the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party, in each of which cases the fees and expenses
of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party and shall be paid as they are incurred.
(d) Settlements.
The indemnifying party under this Section 9 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify
the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party
for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 9(c) hereof, the indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement
of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt
by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party
in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent
of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action,
suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought
hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such indemnified
party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and does not include an admission of
fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.
29
Section 10. Contribution.
If the indemnification provided for in Section 9 is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless
an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party
shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by
the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Agreement
or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the
one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company,
on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities pursuant to this
Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total proceeds from the offering of the Offered Securities
pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions
received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the front cover page of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial
offering price of the Offered Securities as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters,
on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand,
or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent such statement or omission.
The amount paid or payable by a party as a result
of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 9(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or
defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 9(c) with respect to notice of commencement of any action
shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 10; provided, however, that no additional notice
shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 9(c) for purposes of indemnification.
The Company and the Underwriters agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the
Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in this Section 10.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10,
no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter
in connection with the Offered Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the purchasers. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty
of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several,
and not joint, in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments as set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule
A. For purposes of this Section 10, each affiliate, director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter and each person,
if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution
as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed any registration statement comprising the
Registration Statements, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
30
Section 11. Default
of One or More of the Several Underwriters. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the several Underwriters shall fail
or refuse to purchase Offered Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of
Offered Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of
the aggregate number of the Offered Securities to be purchased on such date, the Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to
the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements
are made by such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, in the proportions that the number of Offered
Securities set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate number of Offered Securities set forth opposite
the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Representatives with the consent
of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase the Offered Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed
or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Offered
Securities and the aggregate number of Offered Securities with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate number
of Offered Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase
of such Offered Securities are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party
to any other party except that the provisions of Section 4, Section 7, Section 9 and Section 10 shall at all times
be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone
the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days in order that the required changes, if any, to the Registration Statements
and the Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.
As used in this Agreement,
the term “Underwriter” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 11.
Any action taken under this Section 11 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of
such Underwriter under this Agreement.
Section 12. Termination
of this Agreement. Prior to the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters on the Closing Date, this Agreement
may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to the Company if at any time: (i) trading or quotation in any of the Company’s
securities shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by Nasdaq, or trading in securities generally on either the Nasdaq
or the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established
on any of such stock exchanges; (ii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of federal, New York or Maryland
authorities; (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or
calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a
prospective substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment
of the Representatives is material and adverse and makes it impracticable to market the Offered Securities in the manner and on the terms
described in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities; (iv) in the judgment
of the Representatives there shall have occurred any Material Adverse Change; or (v) the Company shall have sustained a loss by
strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other calamity of such character as in the judgment of the Representatives may interfere
materially with the conduct of the business and operations of the Company regardless of whether or not such loss shall have been insured.
Any termination pursuant to this Section 12 shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Company to any Underwriter, except
that the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Representatives and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 4
or Section 7 hereof or (b) any Underwriter to the Company; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 9
and Section 10 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.
31
Section 13. No
Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship; Research Analyst Independence. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase
and sale of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Offered Securities
and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and
the several Underwriters, on the other hand, and does not constitute a recommendation, investment advice, or solicitation of any actions
by the Underwriters, (b) in connection with the offering contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction, each Underwriter
is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, or its stockholders, creditors, employees
or any other party, (c) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company
with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised
or is currently advising the Company on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company with respect to the offering
contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates
may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, (e) the Underwriters
have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby, and the Company has
consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate, and (f) none of the activities
of the Underwriters in connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment advice or solicitation
of any action by the Underwriters with respect to any entity or natural person.
The Company acknowledges
that the Underwriters’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment
banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such Underwriters’ research analysts may
hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company and/or the offering
that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Underwriters with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise
from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent
with the views or advice communicated to the Company by such Underwriters’ investment banking divisions. The Company acknowledges
that each of the Underwriters is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws,
may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities
of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 14. Representations
and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements
of the Company, of its officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force
and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of its or their partners, officers
or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, will survive delivery
of and payment for the Offered Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.
Section 15. Notices.

Underwriters merely by reason of such purchase.
Section 17. Partial
Unenforceability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other section, paragraph or provision hereof. If any section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement

changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable.
Section 18. Recognition
of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer
from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent
as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation,
were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under
a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to

suit, action or proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s address set forth above

RE: Altimmune, Inc. (the “Company”)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned is a holder of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001
per share, of the Company (“Shares”) or of Related Securities. The Company proposes to conduct an offering (the “Offering”)
of Shares and Related Securities for which Leerink Partners LLC and Barclays Capital Inc. will act as the representatives (the “Representatives”)
of the underwriters (the “Underwriters”). The undersigned recognizes that the Offering will benefit each of the Company
and the undersigned. The undersigned acknowledges that the Underwriters are relying on the representations and agreements of the undersigned
contained in this letter agreement in conducting the Offering and, at a subsequent date, in entering into an underwriting agreement (the
“Underwriting Agreement”) and other underwriting arrangements with the Company with respect to the Offering.
Annex A sets forth definitions for capitalized terms used in
this letter agreement that are not defined in the body of this letter agreement. Those definitions are a part of this letter agreement.
In consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that, during the Lock-up Period,
the undersigned will not (and will cause any Family Member not to), without the prior written consent of the Representatives, which may
withhold their consent in their sole discretion:
· Sell
or Offer to Sell any Shares or Related Securities currently or hereafter owned either of
record or beneficially (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by the undersigned
or such Family Member,
· enter
into any Swap,
· make
any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration under the Securities
Act of the offer and sale of any Shares or Related Securities, or cause to be filed a registration
statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement (or an amendment or supplement thereto) with
respect to any such registration, or
· publicly
announce any intention to do any of the foregoing.
The foregoing will not apply to the registration of the offer and
sale of the Shares and the Related Securities, and the sale of the Shares and the Related Securities to the Underwriters, in each case
as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement. In addition, the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:
(i) transactions relating to Shares and Related
Securities acquired in the Offering or in open market transactions after the completion of the Offering;
(ii) transfers of Shares or Related Securities
by gift, including, without limitation, to a charitable organization, or by will or intestate succession to the legal representative,
heir, beneficiary or any Family Member of the undersigned, or to a trust whose beneficiaries consist exclusively of one or more of the
undersigned and/or a Family Member;
(iii) transfers or dispositions of Shares
or Related Securities to a Family Member, a trust formed for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or an Immediate Family
Member or any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity all of the beneficial ownership interests of which,
in each case, are held by the undersigned or any Family Member;
(iv) transfers of Shares or Related Securities
by operation of law pursuant to a qualified domestic order or other court order or in connection with a divorce settlement;
(v) if the undersigned is a corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity, transfers or distributions of Shares or Related Securities to
(x) another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is a direct or indirect affiliate
(as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) of the undersigned, (y) any investment fund or other entity controlling,
controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control with the undersigned or affiliates of the undersigned, or (z) limited
partners, general partners, members, managers, managing members, directors, officers, employees, stockholders or other equity holders
of the undersigned or of the entities described in the preceding clauses (x) and (y);
(vi) transfers or dispositions of Shares
as (x) forfeitures to satisfy tax withholding and remittance obligations of the undersigned in connection with the vesting or exercise
of equity awards granted pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans, (y) forfeitures pursuant to a net exercise or cashless
exercise by the undersigned of outstanding equity awards pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans or (z) open market
sales of Shares to the extent necessary to satisfy tax and fee obligations of the undersigned in connection with the exercise of stock
options granted pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans expiring during the Lock-up Period;
(vii) transfers of Shares or Related Securities
pursuant to a change of control of the Company (meaning the consummation of any bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation
or other similar transaction made to all holders of Shares the result of which is that any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of
the Exchange Act), or group of persons, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of
more than 50% of the voting capital stock of the Company) after the Offering that has been approved by the independent members of the
Company’s board of directors, provided, that in the event that such change of control is not completed, the Shares or Related
Securities owned by the undersigned shall remain subject to the restrictions herein;
2
(viii) transfers of Shares or Related Securities
arising as a result of the termination of employment of the undersigned to the Company pursuant to agreements under which the Company
has the option to repurchase such Shares or Related Securities or a right of first refusal with respect to transfers of such Shares or
Related Securities; or
(ix) transfers or dispositions of Shares
under a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer or disposition of Shares that is existing as
of the date hereof provided that to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of
or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned such transfer, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect
that such dispositions were made pursuant to such plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a condition to such transfer
that:
· in
any such case as provided in clauses (ii) through (v), each transferee or distributee
executes and delivers to the Representatives an agreement in form and substance satisfactory
to the Representatives stating that such transferee or distributee is receiving and holding
such Shares and/or Related Securities subject to the provisions of this letter agreement
and agrees not to Sell or Offer to Sell such Shares and/or Related Securities, engage in
any Swap or engage in any other activities restricted under this letter agreement except
in accordance with this letter agreement (as if such transferee or distribute had been an
original signatory hereto), and
· in
any such case as provided in clauses (i) through (iii), (v) and (viii), prior to
the expiration of the Lock-up Period, no public disclosure or filing under the Exchange Act
by any party to the transfer (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall be required,
or made voluntarily, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Shares in connection
with such transfer (other than, in connection with a repurchase of Shares or Related Securities
by the Company pursuant to clause (viii), a Form 4 or Form 5 required to be filed
under the Exchange Act if the undersigned is subject to Section 16 reporting with respect
to the Company under the Exchange Act, provided, however, that if such Form 4
or Form 5 is filed during the Lock-up Period, such Form 4 or Form 5 shall
indicate by footnote disclosure or otherwise that such Form 4 or Form 5 relates
to a repurchase of Shares or Related Securities by the Company in connection with the termination
of the undersigned’s employment with the Company, and that any Shares or Related Securities
subject to this letter agreement that continue to be held by the undersigned remain subject
to the terms of this letter agreement), and
· in
any such case as provided in clauses (ii), (iii) and (v), each such transfer does not
involve a disposition for value, and
· in
any such case as provided in clauses (iv) and (vi) and, prior to the expiration
of the Lock-up Period, (1) that if a Form 4 or Form 5 is required to be filed
during the Lock-up Period, such Form 4 or Form 5 shall clearly indicate in the
footnotes thereto that (A) the filing relates to the circumstances described in such
clause and (B) no securities were sold by the undersigned, except for as allowed by
clause (vi)(z), and (2) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any other
public filing or report regarding such transfers during the Lock-up Period.
Furthermore, notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by this letter
agreement, the undersigned may (i) exercise an option to purchase Shares granted under any equity incentive plan or stock purchase
plan of the Company, provided that the Shares issued upon such exercise shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer
set forth in this letter agreement and (ii) establish a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (a “10b5-1
Plan”) for the transfer of Shares, provided that (x) such 10b5-1 Plan shall not provide for or permit any transfers,
sales or other dispositions of Shares during the Lock-up Period and (y) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the
Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment
of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Shares may be made under such plan
during the Lock-up Period. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives on behalf
of the Underwriters, it will not, during the Lock-up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration
of any Shares or Related Securities. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s
transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of Shares or Related Securities held by the undersigned and the undersigned’s
Family Members, if any, except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions. With respect to the Offering only, the undersigned waives
any registration rights relating to registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any Shares and/or any Related Securities
owned either of record or beneficially by the undersigned, including any rights to receive notice of the Offering.
3
The undersigned confirms that the undersigned has not, and has no
knowledge that any Family Member has, directly or indirectly, taken any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause
or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale of the Shares. The
undersigned will not, and will cause any Family Member not to take, directly or indirectly, any such action.
The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters
are relying upon this letter agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Offering. The undersigned further understands that this
letter agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that, although the Underwriters
may provide certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures or other related documentation to the undersigned in connection
with the Offering, the Underwriters have not provided any recommendation or investment advice nor have the Underwriters solicited any
action from the undersigned with respect to the Offering and the undersigned has consulted their own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory
and tax advisors to the extent deemed appropriate.
Whether or not the Offering occurs as currently contemplated or at
all depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. The Offering will only be made pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement,
the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters.
If (i) prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement,
the Company, on the one hand, or the Representatives, on the other hand, notify the other in writing that they do not intend to proceed
with the Offering, (ii) the Company files an application to withdraw the registration statement related to the Offering, (iii) the
Underwriting Agreement is not executed on or before May 15, 2026, or (iv) the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions
thereof that survive termination) terminates or is terminated prior to the closing date of the Offering, then in each case, this letter
agreement shall automatically, and without any action on the part of any other party, terminate and be of no further force and effect,
and the undersigned shall automatically be released from the obligations under this letter agreement.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned
has full power, capacity and authority to enter into this letter agreement. This letter agreement is irrevocable and will be binding
on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned.
This letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of New York.

market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets. If the Closing Sale Price cannot
be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date
shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. If the Company and the Holder are unable to agree
upon the fair market value of such security, then the board of directors of the Company shall use its good faith judgment to determine
the fair market value. The determination of the board of directors of the Company shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable

selected in good faith by the holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company,
the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
2. Issuance of Securities; Registration of
Warrants. The Warrant, as initially issued by the Company, is offered and sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. As of the Initial
Exercise Date, the Warrant Shares are issuable under the Registration Statement. Accordingly, the Warrant and, assuming issuance pursuant
to the Registration Statement or an exchange meeting the requirements of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act as in effect
on the Initial Exercise Date, the Warrant Shares, are not “restricted securities” under Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act. The Company shall register ownership of this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the
“Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder (which shall include the initial Holder or, as the case may be,
any assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder) 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.
3. Registration of Transfers. Subject to
compliance with all applicable securities laws, the Company shall, or will cause its Transfer Agent to, register the transfer of all or
any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached
hereto as Schedule 2 duly executed by the Holder, and payment for all applicable transfer taxes (if any). Upon any such registration
or transfer, a new warrant in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”) evidencing
the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee, and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this
Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof
shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has
in respect of this Warrant. The Company shall, or will cause its Transfer Agent to, prepare, issue and deliver at the Company’s
own expense any New Warrant under this Section 3. Until due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company may treat
the registered Holder hereof as the owner and holder for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
4. Exercise of Warrants.
(a) All or any part
of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by this Warrant (including Section 11)
at any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date.
(b) The Holder may exercise
this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached as Schedule 1 hereto (the “Exercise
Notice”), completed and duly signed by an authorized officer of the Holder, of the Holder’s election to exercise this
Warrant for, at the Holder’s sole discretion, either (A) Warrant Shares or (B) Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase a number
of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant would otherwise be exercised in substantially
the same form of Pre-Funded Warrant attached hereto as Schedule 3 (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) with an exercise price
of $0.0001 per share of Common Stock and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant
is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” under certain limited circumstances pursuant to the terms
of Section 10 below), or, if this Warrant is being exercised for Pre-Funded Warrants, the Exercise Price, less $0.0001, multiplied
by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant would otherwise be exercised, and the date on which the last of such items is
delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The
Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise
Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase
the remaining number of Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants, if any. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing
the number of Warrant Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants purchased and the dates of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection
to any Exercise Notice 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 and Pre-Funded Warrants hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants available for purchase hereunder at any
given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
(a) If this Warrant
is being exercised for Warrant Shares, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, or shall cause the Transfer Agent to, promptly
(but in no event later than the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following the Exercise Date), upon the
request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified by the Holder in the Exercise Notice and to which
the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise (the “Exercise Shares”) to (i) the Holder’s or its designee’s
balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system or (ii) in
book-entry form via a direct registration system (“DRS”) maintained by or on behalf of the Transfer Agent, in each
case, so long as either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or the
resale of such Warrant Shares by the Holder, or (B) the Exercise Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale
restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. If (A) and (B) above are not true, the Company
shall cause the Transfer Agent to either (i) record the Exercise Shares in the name of the Holder or its designee on the certificates
reflecting the Exercise Shares with an appropriate legend regarding restriction on transferability, which shall be issued and dispatched
by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, and on the Company’s share register or (ii) issue
such Exercise Shares in the name of the Holder or its designee in restricted book-entry form in the Company’s share register. If
this Warrant is being exercised for Pre-Funded Warrants, the Company shall issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address specified
in the Exercise Notice, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Warrant Shares with
respect to which this Warrant would otherwise be exercised. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares
or Pre-Funded Warrants, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants as of the Exercise
Date, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants are credited to the Holder’s DTC account, the date of
the book entry positions or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Exercise Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants, as the case
may be.
(b) In addition to any
other rights available to the Holder, if this Warrant is being exercised for Warrant Shares and if the Company fails to deliver, or cause
the Transfer Agent to deliver, to the Holder or its designee Exercise Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a) within
the Standard Settlement Period following the Exercise Date (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided
by Holder to the Company) and the Holder or the Holder’s broker on its behalf purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
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”) but did not receive within the Standard Settlement Period, then the Company shall,
within two (2) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s sole discretion, promptly honor its obligation
to deliver to the Holder or its designee the Exercise Shares pursuant to Section 5(a) and pay cash to the Holder in an
amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares
of Common Stock so purchased in the Buy-In, less the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock purchased in the Buy-In,
times (B) the Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date. The Holder shall provide the Company with written
notice promptly after the occurrence of a Buy-In, indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In together with
the applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the cash payment contemplated
by this Section 5(b) constitutes a damages remedy for the Company's failure to timely deliver Exercise Shares and does
not constitute a cash settlement of this Warrant or any portion thereof; the Company's primary obligation to deliver Exercise Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant remains absolute and unconditional in accordance with Section 5(c); and no payment made pursuant
to this Section 5(b) shall reduce, extinguish or otherwise affect the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon any future
exercise of this Warrant.
(c) To the extent permitted
by law and subject to Section 5(b), the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants,
as the case may be, in accordance with and subject to the terms hereof (including the limitations set forth in Section 11
below) are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent
with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation
to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance
that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded
Warrants. Subject to Section 5(b), nothing herein shall limit the 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 Exercise Shares; provided, however, that the Holder shall not be entitled to both (i) require
the Company to reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants for which such exercise
was not timely honored and (ii) receive the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely
complied with its delivery requirements under Section 5(a).
6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance
and delivery of Exercise Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer
agent fee or other incidental tax or expense (excluding any applicable stamp duties) in respect of the issuance of such shares, all of
which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay
any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any Exercise Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants or the
Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability
that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Exercise Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant
is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of such loss, theft or destruction (in such case) and, in each case, a customary and reasonable contractual indemnity, if requested
by the Company. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated
Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.
8. Reservation of Warrant Shares.
(a) The Company covenants
that it will, at all times while this Warrant is outstanding, reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued
and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as
herein provided (or upon the exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants issued as contemplated hereby), the number of Warrant Shares that are initially
issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights
of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that
all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon delivery of this Warrant and the issuance and the payment of the applicable
Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof (and the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants, if applicable), be duly and validly authorized,
issued and fully paid and non-assessable. The Company will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary to assure that such shares
of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any
securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company further covenants that it will
not, without the prior written consent of the Holder, take any actions to increase the par value of the Common Stock at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding.
9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price
and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Number of Warrant Shares”) are subject to
adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Stock Dividends
and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise
makes a distribution on any class of capital stock issued and outstanding on the Initial Exercise Date and in accordance with the terms
of such stock on the Initial Exercise Date or as amended, that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of capital stock any additional shares of
Common Stock of the Company, then in each such case the Number of Warrant Shares shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph
shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid on the date fixed therefor, the
Number of Warrant Shares shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Number of
Warrant Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends. Any adjustment pursuant
to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision,
combination or issuance.
(b) Pro Rata Distributions.
If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other pro rata 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, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets by way
of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction, but, for the avoidance
of doubt, excluding any distribution of shares of Common Stock subject to Section 9(a), any distribution of Purchase Rights
(as defined below) subject to Section 9(c) and any Fundamental Transaction (as defined below) subject to Section 9(d))
(a “Distribution”) 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 or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation,
the Maximum Percentage (as defined below)) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such
record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such
Distribution; provided that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder
and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution
to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and
beneficial ownership) to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until
such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage,
at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution
or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.
(c) Purchase Rights.
If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to
purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property, in each case pro rata to the record holders of any class 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 or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without
limitation, the Maximum Percentage) 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 Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issuance
or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would
result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate
in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Common Stock as a result of such Purchase
Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the
Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum
Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial
Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.
As used in this Section 9(c), (i) “Options” means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities and (ii) “Convertible Securities” mean any stock or securities (other
than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock.
(d) Fundamental Transactions. If,
at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
Person, in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger
or consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately after such merger
or consolidation, (ii) the Company effects any sale to another Person of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction
or a series of related transactions, (iii) pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person),
holders of capital stock tender shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company and the Company
or such other Person, as applicable, accepts such tender for payment, (iv) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement or
other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with
another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company (except for any
such transaction in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction maintain, in substantially the same proportions,
the voting power of such Person immediately after the transaction), or (v) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common
Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities,
cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) above)
and, in connection with or following such reclassification or share exchange, any Person or Group acquires more than 50% of the voting
power of the capital stock of the Company or any successor entity (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”),
then following such Fundamental Transaction the Holder shall have the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount
and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction
if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise
in full of this Warrant (including any Distributions or Purchase Rights then held in abeyance pursuant to Sections 9(b) or
9(c) above) without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein (the “Alternate Consideration”).
The Company shall not effect any Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the Alternate Consideration
includes securities of another Person unless (i) the Alternate Consideration is solely cash and the Company provides for the simultaneous
“cashless exercise” of this Warrant pursuant to Section 10 below or (ii) prior to or simultaneously with
the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or other Person (including any purchaser of assets of the Company)
shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the
Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (d) shall similarly
apply to subsequent transactions analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. If the Company undertakes a Fundamental Transaction in which
the Company is not the surviving entity and the Alternate Consideration includes securities of another Person, then the Company shall
provide that, prior to or simultaneously with the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, any successor to the Company, surviving
entity or other Person (including any purchaser of assets of the Company) (“the Successor Entity”) shall assume the
obligation to deliver to the Holder such Alternate Consideration as the Holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, and to assume the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (d) shall similarly apply to
subsequent transactions analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable
at any time concurrently with, or within thirty (30) days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date
of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an
amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of
the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s
control, including a transaction that is not approved by the Company’s board of directors, then the Holder shall only be entitled
to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion) delivered in the
Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing
Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period
equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an
expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization
factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying
price per share used in such calculation shall be the last VWAP immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction,
(D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction
and the Termination Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately
available funds within five Trading Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction).
The terms of any agreement
pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply
with the provisions of this Section 9(d) and ensuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any Successor Entity to assume in writing all of the obligations
of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9(d) pursuant to written agreements
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to 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 adjustments
to the 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 the
Company (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company”
shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations
of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and without limiting Section 11 hereof, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice
to the Company to waive this Section 9(d) to permit a Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Warrant.
(e) Number of Warrant
Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Number of Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 9, the Exercise Price shall
be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased
or decreased Number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Exercise Price be adjusted below the par value of the Common Stock then in effect.
(f) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth of one cent or the nearest share in accordance
with Section 12.
(g) Notice of Adjustments.
Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment,
in good faith, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement
of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
(as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment
is based. The Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Transfer Agent.
(h) Notice of Corporate
Events. If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities
or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase any capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of the affairs of the Company, then, except if such notice and the contents thereof shall be deemed to constitute material non-public
information, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice of such transaction at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable
record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction;
provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action
required to be described in such notice. In addition, if while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company authorizes or approves, enters
into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction contemplated by Section 9(d),
other than a Fundamental Transaction under clause (iii) of Section 9(d), then, except if such notice and the contents
thereof shall be deemed to constitute material non-public information, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice of such Fundamental
Transaction at least ten (10) days prior to the date such Fundamental Transaction is consummated.
(i) Notice of Milestone
Event. Promptly following (and in any event within one (1) Trading Day after) the occurrence of the Milestone Event, the
Company shall deliver written notice thereof to the Holder at the electronic mail address previously provided by the Holder to the Company
(or, if no such address has been provided, at such address as may appear in the Warrant Register or such other address as the Holder shall
have specified by written notice to the Company). The failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity
of the Milestone Event or the commencement of the Termination Date as set forth in the definition thereof;. Any such failure shall not
impair the Holder's right to exercise this Warrant during the applicable exercise period.
(j) Voluntary Adjustment
By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Principal Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term
of this Warrant, reduce the then-current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors
of the Company.
10. Payment of Exercise Price. This Warrant
may only be exercised for cash; provided, however, if at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective Registration Statement registering,
with a current prospectus available for, the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder, then this Warrant may be exercised, in whole
or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise.” In the event of a “cashless exercise,” the Company
shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares (which term, for all purposes of this Section 10, shall be deemed to include
Pre-Funded Warrants, mutatis mutandis, if this Warrant is being exercised for Pre-Funded Warrants) in an exchange of securities
effected pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, determined as follows:
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
“X” equals the
number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;
“Y” equals the
total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised;
“A” equals the
Closing Sale Price as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exercise Date; and
“B” equals the
Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a “cashless exercise” transaction
shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced,
on the Initial Exercise Date (provided that the Commission continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of
such exercise). If the Registration Statement or another registration statement registering the issuance of Warrant Shares is, for any
reason, not effective at the time of exercise of this Warrant, then the Warrant may only be exercised through a cashless exercise, as
set forth in this Section 10. If the Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the Company acknowledges and agrees
that, in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Exercise Shares issued in such exercise shall take on the
registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised and may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrants being exercised.
Except as set forth in Section 5(b) (Buy-In) and Section 12 (No Fractional Shares), in no event will the
exercise of this Warrant be settled in cash.
11. Limitations on Exercise.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant (other than for Pre-Funded
Warrants), and the Holder of the Warrant shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant (other than for Pre-Funded Warrants),
and any such exercise shall be null and void ab initio and treated as if the exercise had not been made, to the extent that immediately
prior to or following such exercise, the Holder, together with the Attribution Parties, beneficially owns or would beneficially own as
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, in excess of [4.99%][9.99%]
(the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock that would be issued and outstanding following such exercise. For purposes
of calculating beneficial ownership for determining whether the Maximum Percentage is or will be exceeded, the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder together with the Attribution Parties, shall include the number of shares
of Common Stock held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder together with the Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the relevant Warrant with respect to which the determination is being made but shall exclude the number
of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrant held and/or beneficially
owned by the Holder or the Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any
other securities of the Company held and/or beneficially owned by such Holder or any Attribution Party (including, without limitation,
any convertible notes, convertible stock or warrants) that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein. For purposes of this Section 11(a), beneficial ownership of the Holder or the Attribution Parties shall,
except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, be calculated and determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock, a Holder of this Warrant may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s
most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer
Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (such issued and outstanding shares, the “Reported Outstanding
Share Number”). For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within three
(3) Trading Days confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.
The Holder shall disclose to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock that it, together with the Attribution Parties, holds and/or
beneficially owns and has the right to acquire through the exercise of derivative securities and any limitations on exercise or conversion
analogous to the limitation contained herein contemporaneously or immediately prior to submitting an Exercise Notice. If the Company
receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported
Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding
and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s, together with the Attribution Parties’,
beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 11(a), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify
the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such
purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return
to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. 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 and the Attribution Parties since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. If the issuance
of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder, together with the Attribution Parties, being deemed
to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined
under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s, together with the Attribution
Parties’, aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed
null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder and/or the Attribution Parties shall not have the power to vote or to
transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void,
the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. By written notice to the Company,
the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% specified
in such notice; provided that any increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such
notice is delivered to the Company and shall not negatively affect any partial exercise effected prior to such change.
(b) This Section 11
shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder or the Attribution Parties may receive or beneficially own in order
to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder or the Attribution Parties may receive in the event of a
Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 9(d) of this Warrant. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common
Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned
by the Holder or the Attribution Parties for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or Section 16
of the Exchange Act and Rule 16a-1(a)(1) promulgated thereunder. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this
Section 11 shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 11 with respect to any
subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this Section 11 shall be construed and implemented in a manner
otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 11 to the extent necessary to correct this Section 11
or any portion of this Section 11 which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation
contained in this Section 11 or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
The limitation contained in this Section 11 may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
12. No Fractional Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants.
No fractional Warrant Shares or fractional Pre-Funded Warrants will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu
of any fractional shares or fractional Pre-Funded Warrants that would otherwise be issuable, the number of Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded
Warrants to be issued shall be rounded down to the next whole number (after aggregating all Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants so issued)
and the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the fair market value (based on the Closing Sale Price) for any such fractional share or
fractional Pre-Funded Warrant.
13. Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered
confirmed e-mail at the e-mail address specified in the books and records of the Transfer Agent prior to 5:30 P.M., New York City time,
on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via confirmed
e-mail at the e-mail address specified in the books and records of the Transfer Agent 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 Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized
overnight courier service specifying next business day delivery, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the Person to whom such notice is
required to be given, if by hand delivery. Notice to the Company shall be delivered, mailed or sent to Altimmune, Inc., at 910 Clopper
Road, Suite 201S, Gaithersburg, MD 20878, Attention: Gregory Weaver and Robin Abrams, E-mail: gweaver@altimmune.com and rabrams@altimmune.com;
with a copy to Goodwin Procter LLP, 100 Northern Avenue, Boston, MA 02210, Attention: Joseph Theis, Justin Anslow E-mail: jtheis@goodwinlaw.com;
janslow@goodwinlaw.com.
14. Warrant Agent. The Company shall initially
serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent.
Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially
all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further
act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail,
postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
15. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Rights as
a Stockholder. Except as otherwise set forth in this Warrant, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this
Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor
shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder
of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action
(whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, conveyance or otherwise),
receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant
Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant
shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or
as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
(b) Further Assurances.
Except as and to the extent waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its certificate or articles 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 (a) 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, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in
order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and
(c) 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 that would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price,
the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory
body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
(c) Successors and
Assigns. This Warrant may not be assigned by the Company without the written consent of the Holder, except to a Successor Entity in
the event of a Fundamental Transaction. This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Holder and their
respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person
other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant.
(d) Amendment and
Waiver. This Warrant may be amended or waived only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder, or their respective successors
and permitted assigns.. In the event an amendment or waiver is agreed to under this Section 15(d) or an adjustment to
the Exercise Price or otherwise is made by the Company under the terms of this Warrant with respect to another holder of a warrant comparable
to this Warrant and issued in the same transaction or series of related transactions in which this Warrant was issued, and such amendment,
waiver or adjustment would be favorable to the Holder, such amendment, waiver or adjustment shall apply to this Warrant.
(e) Acceptance.
Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.
(f) Governing Law;
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 LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW
THEREOF. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER 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

CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER 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 PERSON AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO
IT 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 MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY WAIVES
ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
(g) Remedies.
Each of the Holder and the Company acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Warrant agreement by the other party may cause irreparable
harm to the non-breaching party and that money damages may be an inadequate remedy to protect the non-breaching party therefrom, and that
the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any
such breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for any breach by a party or any of its representatives of
this Warrant agreement but shall be in addition to any and all other remedies available to the non-breaching party at law or in equity.
(h) Headings.
The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.
(i) Severability.
If any part or provision of this Warrant is held unenforceable or in conflict with the applicable laws or regulations of any jurisdiction,
the invalid or unenforceable part or provisions shall be replaced with a provision which accomplishes, to the extent possible, the original
business purpose of such part or provision in a valid and enforceable manner, and the remainder of this Warrant shall remain binding upon
the parties hereto.
(j) Electronic Execution.
This Warrant may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal

price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock
is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on the Pink Open Market
(or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common
Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors.
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant.
Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial
Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment)
of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two
(2) Business Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein)
following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in
the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise
procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is applicable and specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice
of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise
be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to
the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in
which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on
which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion
of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing
the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. This Warrant, as initially issued by the Company, is offered and
sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. As of the Initial Exercise Date, the Warrant Shares are issuable under the Registration Statement.
Accordingly, the Warrant and, assuming issuance pursuant to the Registration Statement or an exchange meeting the requirements of Section 3(a)(9) of
the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares are not “restricted securities” under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act as in effect on the Initial Exercise Date. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business
Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason
of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares
available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price. The
aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except for a nominal exercise price of $0.001 per Warrant Share, was pre-funded to
the Company on or prior to the Initial Exercise Date and, consequently, no additional consideration (other than the nominal exercise price
of $0.001 per Warrant Share) shall be required to be paid by the Holder to any Person to effect any exercise of this Warrant. The Holder
shall not be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-paid aggregate exercise price under any circumstance
or for any reason whatsoever. The remaining unpaid exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.001, subject
to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
c) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through
a “cashless exercise”, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares in an exchange of
securities effected pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act 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. 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 registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. In the event that a registration statement registering
the issuance of Warrant Shares is, for any reason, not effective at the time of exercise of this Warrant, then the Warrant may only be
exercised through a cashless exercise, as set forth in this Section 2(c). 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 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 Holder, (B) the
Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act or (C) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by either (x) issuance
of the Warrant Shares in the name of the Holder or its designee in restricted book-entry form in the Company’s share register or
(y) 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) Business Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice
of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Business Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number
of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the
“Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate
purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective
of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless
exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Business Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the
Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant
in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period”
means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect
to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon
Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this
Warrant, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase
the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission Rights. If
the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the
Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. Compensation for Buy-In on
Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails
to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above
pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information
provided by the Holder to the Company and subject to receipt of the aggregate exercise price for the applicable exercise (other than in
the case of a cashless exercise)), and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by
the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company
shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number
of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price
at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate
the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise
shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely
complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase
price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price
giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required
to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect
of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right
to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant
as required pursuant to the terms hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the cash payment contemplated by clause (A) of this Section 2(d)(iv) constitutes
a damages remedy for the Company’s failure to timely deliver Warrant Shares and does not constitute a cash settlement of this Warrant
or any portion thereof; the Company’s primary obligation to deliver Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant remains absolute
and unconditional, and no payment made pursuant to clause (A) of this Section 2(d)(iv) shall, except where the Holder elects
to rescind the exercise pursuant to clause (B), reduce, extinguish or otherwise affect the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon any
future exercise of this Warrant.
v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of
a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise (after aggregating all Warrant Shares so issued),
the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction
multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses.
Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect
of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be
issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however,
that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for
exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as
a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all
Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company
(or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the
Warrant Shares.
vii. Closing of Books. The
Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to
the terms hereof.
e) Holder’s Exercise
Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion
of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set
forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a
group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would
beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude
the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised
or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject
to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance
therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant
is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which
portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall
be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the
Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject
to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.
In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the
Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement
by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm in writing to the Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined
after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates
or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial
Ownership Limitation” shall be [4.99%]/[9.99%] of the 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 written notice to the Company,
may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation in no event exceeds 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance
of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue
to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice
is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict
conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent
with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly
give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Splits.
If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions
on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance
of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital
stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment
made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or re-classification.
b) Subsequent Rights Offerings.
In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time 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) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its
right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
c) Pro Rata Distributions.
During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets
(or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation,
any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement,
scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant,
then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have
participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without
regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the
date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares
of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent
that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation,
then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares
of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the
benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation). To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion
of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant.
d) Fundamental Transaction.
If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects
any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly,
effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one
or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the
Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares
for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of (after giving effect to such transaction) more than 50%
of the outstanding Common Stock or more than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly
or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock
or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash
or property and, in connection with or following such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or share exchange, any Person
or group of Persons acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or more than 50% of the voting power of the common
equity of the Company, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share
purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger
or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock or more than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”),
then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without
regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the securities, cash and other consideration of the
successor or acquiring corporation (or the ultimate parent thereof) or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional
consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without
regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination
of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration
issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among
the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.
If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such
Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor
(the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements 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 the Company (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction,
the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every
right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such
Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
e) Calculations. All calculations
under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest thousandth of a cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For
purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be
the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
f) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price.
Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder
by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares
and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by
Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the
Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize
the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class
or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of
the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all
or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash
or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall
appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter
specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption,
rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to
such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected
that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other
property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to
deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to
be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a
Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date
of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. This
Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon
delivery, at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, of a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the
form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon
the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument
of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant
shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender
this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant
to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning
this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant
Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New Warrants. This Warrant
may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written
notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject
to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.
All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance 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 initially serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may
appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting
from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new
warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent
under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant
agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”),
in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the
absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual
notice to the contrary.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder
Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as
a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.
Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or
to receive cash payments constituting damages pursuant to Section 2(d)(iv) herein or cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant
to Section 2(d)(v), in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction
or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft
or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting
of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver
a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc.
If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business
Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that, during
the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to
provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants
that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be
necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or
of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which
may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any
transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as waived
or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation
or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights
of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not
increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in
par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully
paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all
such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable
the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would
result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall
obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies
having jurisdiction thereof.
e) Governing Law. All questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced
in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party
agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant
(whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees
or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication
of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably
waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof
via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices
to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party
shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding
shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
f) RESERVED.
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses.
No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right
or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company
willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company
shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto
or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
h) Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice
of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service,
addressed to the Company, at 910 Clopper Road, Suite 201S, Gaithersburg, MD 20878, Attention: Gregory Weaver, email address: gweaver@altimmune.com,
or such other email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders. Any
and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally,
by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the e-mail address
or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed
given and effective on the earliest of (i) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at
the e-mail address set forth in this Section 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 e-mail at the e-mail 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. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes,
or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file
such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.
i) Limitation of Liability.
No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of
any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
j) Remedies. The Holder,
in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance
of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by
reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for
specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
k) Successors and Assigns.
Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and
be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions
of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder
or holder of Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment. This Warrant
may be modified or amended, or the provisions hereof waived, only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
m) Severability. Wherever
possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if
any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
n) Headings. The headings
used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
o) Electronic Execution. This
Warrant may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN
Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or other applicable law) or other transmission method and any Warrant so delivered shall
be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

Re: Securities Registered under Registration Statements on Form
S-3
We have acted as counsel to you in
connection with your filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-291329), as amended, initially filed on
November 6, 2025 and declared effective on December 5, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”), a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-285355) filed on February 27, 2025 and declared
effective on March 13, 2025 with the Commission and a Registration Statement on Form S-3MEF (File No. 333-295254) filed on April 22,
2026 and declared effective on April 22, 2026 with the Commission (collectively, the “Registration Statements”), each
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the registration of the offer by
Altimmune, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), of any combination of securities of the types specified
therein. Reference is made to our opinion letters dated November 6, 2025, February 28, 2025 and April 22, 2026 respectively, and
included as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statements. We are delivering this supplemental opinion letter in connection with
the prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) filed on April 23, 2026 by the Company with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act. The Prospectus Supplement relates to the offering by the Company of (i)
64,250,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common
Stock”), (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 10,750,000 shares of Common Stock,
(iii) warrants (the “Common Warrants”, and together with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”) to
purchase up to 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock (or Pre-Funded Warrants, in lieu thereof), (iv) the shares of Common Stock issuable from
time to time upon exercise of any Pre-Funded Warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) and (v) the shares of Common
Stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Common Warrants (the “Common Warrant Shares” and together with the
Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”), covered by the Registration Statements. The Shares and the Warrants
are being sold to the several underwriters named in, and pursuant to, an underwriting agreement among the Company and such
underwriters (the “Underwriting Agreement”).
We have reviewed such documents and made such
examination of law as we have deemed appropriate to give the opinions set forth below. We have relied, without independent verification,
on certificates of public officials and, as to matters of fact material to the opinions set forth below, on certificates of officers of
the Company. For purposes of the opinion set forth in paragraph 3 below, we have assumed that before the Warrant Shares are issued, the
Company does not issue shares of Common Stock or reduce the total number of shares of Common Stock the Company is authorized to issue
under its certificate of incorporation such that the number of unissued shares of Common Stock authorized under the Company’s certificate
of incorporation is less than the number of Warrant Shares.
Altimmune, Inc.
April 24, 2026
Page 2
The opinions set forth below are limited to the
Delaware General Corporation Law, and with respect to the opinion in paragraph 2, the law of the State of New York.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion
that:
1. The Shares have been duly authorized and, when delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of
the Underwriting Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
2. The Warrants have been duly authorized and executed by the Company and, when delivered and paid for in
accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company.
3. Assuming sufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock are available for issuance when the
Warrants are exercised, the Warrant Shares, when issued upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will
be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
The opinions expressed above are subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies
of creditors and to general principles of equity.
This opinion letter and the opinions it contains
shall be interpreted in accordance with the Core Opinion Principles as published in 74 Business Lawyer 815 (Summer 2019).
We hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion
as Exhibit 5.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K and to the references to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters”
in the Registration Statements. In giving our consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required
under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Goodwin Procter LLP
