Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 29, 2026, authID Inc. (the “Company”)
closed a private placement (the “Offering”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated April 29, 2026 (the “Purchase
Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”). The Company issued and sold an aggregate
of approximately $3,765,000 principal amount of its Senior Secured Debentures (the “Debentures”) together with accompanying
Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”).
The Offering was conducted on a best-efforts basis
with Madison Global Partners, LLC acting as the non-exclusive placement agent.
Material Terms of the Debentures
The Debentures are senior secured obligations
of the Company, maturing six months from issuance (October 2026). The Debentures do not bear interest. The obligations under the Debentures
are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to a Security Agreement
dated as of April 29, 2026, subject only to customary permitted liens.
The Debentures contain customary events of default,
including failure to pay principal at maturity, bankruptcy events, and material breaches of the Transaction Documents. Upon an event of
default, the principal amount becomes immediately due and payable at the Holder’s election.
Material Terms of the Warrants
The Company issued Warrants to purchase a number
of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 100% of the principal amount invested by each investor, at an exercise price of
$1.50 per share. The Warrants have a five-year term from issuance, are exercisable beginning six months after issuance, and include a
cashless exercise provision. The Warrants are subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments and contain a beneficial ownership limitation
of 4.99% or 9.99% (or 19.99 % in the case of one Director) as elected by each individual Investor.
Fee Shares
In addition to the Debentures and Warrants, the
Company issued to the Investors “Fee Shares” equal to 15% of the principal amount invested by each investor divided by $1.00
(or the Nasdaq Consolidated Closing Bid Price if the Investor is a director of the Company).
1
Registration Rights
The Company entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement with the Investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to register for resale the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants and the Fee Shares (the “Registrable Securities”) within ten days of the 60 day anniversary of the
closing date in the event the Company does not consummate a subsequent financing before then. The Company has also granted the Investors
standard piggyback registration rights.
Most Favored Nation and Conversion/Exchange
Feature
The Debentures contain a most-favored-nation provision
with respect to subsequent financings and provide for automatic conversion/exchange into securities issued in a subsequent financing on
substantially similar economic terms (subordinate in right of payment and priority to the security issued to the lead investor in the
subsequent financing).
Nasdaq 19.99% Limitation
The aggregate shares of common stock issuable
pursuant to the Debentures (upon conversion/exchange) and the Fee Shares, together with the Warrant Shares (if applicable), shall not
exceed 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement without stockholder
approval, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635.
The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement,
form of Debenture, form of Warrant, Security Agreement, and Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference
to the full text of such agreements, which will be filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K or incorporated by reference from
the Company’s subsequent periodic filings.
The securities offered and sold in the Offering
were issued and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Investors represented that they are accredited investors within the meaning
of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation
or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth under Item 1.01 above
is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03. The issuance of the Debentures creates a direct financial obligation of the Company.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information set forth under Item 1.01 above
is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The issuance of the Warrants and Fee Shares constitutes an unregistered sale of equity
securities.

Each Subsidiary is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction

as currently conducted. The Company and each Subsidiary is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation
or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary,

on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken
as a whole, or any of its material assets or lines of business, individually; or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s
ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii),

or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.
(c) Authorization;

duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors
or the Company’s stockholders in connection therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals. Each Transaction Document
to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with
the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) as limited by laws relating to

and sale of the Securities hereunder and the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do
not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s certificate of formation bylaws or other organizational
or charter documents; (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become

case of each of clause (ii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) Filings,
Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to,
or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other Person
in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, other than: (i) such consents,

under the Exchange Act and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of Common Shares Equivalents outstanding as of the date of the most
recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act. No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation,
or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports,
there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to,
or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe
for or acquire, any Common Shares or the capital stock of any Subsidiary, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by
which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional Common Shares or Common Shares Equivalents or capital stock
of any Subsidiary. The issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company or any Subsidiary to issue Common Shares or other
securities to any Person (other than the Investors) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise,
conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. There are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or
any Subsidiary that contain any redemption or similar provisions, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements
by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to redeem a security of the Company or such Subsidiary. The Company does
not have any stock appreciation rights or “phantom stock” plans or agreements or any similar plan or agreement. All of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued
in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive
rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. Except for the Required Approvals, no further approval or authorization
of any stockholder, the Board of Managers or others is required for the issuance and sale of the Securities. There are no members agreements,

liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as
now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the
business conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow
of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account
all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required
to be paid. The Company will not, after the Closing Date, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into
account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company
has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the

similar coverage from similar insurers.

Regarding Investors’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Investors is acting solely
in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby.

(kk) Representations.
The representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, and the certificate(s) furnished or to be furnished to

Section 3.02 Representations
and Warranties of the Investors.
Each Investor,
for itself and for no other Investor, hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as
follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case they shall be accurate as of such date):
(a) Authority;
Organization. Such Investor has full power and authority (and, if such Investor is an individual, the capacity) to enter into this
Agreement and to perform all obligations required to be performed by it hereunder. If an entity, such Investor is an entity duly organized,
validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or partnership power and authority
to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations
hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such Investor of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action on the part of such Investor.
Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Investor, and when delivered by such Investor in accordance

with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to
the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution
provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(b) Own
Account. Such Investor understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under
the Securities Act or any applicable State Securities Law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with
a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable State

is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
(c) Non-Transferrable.
Such Investor agrees: (i) that the Investor will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities or any

Securities Act and all applicable State Securities Laws, or in a transaction which is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities
Act and all applicable State Securities Laws, (ii) that the certificates representing the Securities will bear a legend making reference
to the foregoing restrictions, and (iii) that the Company and its Affiliates shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer
of such Securities except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
13
(d) Investor
Status. Such Investor is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under Regulation D of the Securities Act.
The undersigned agrees to furnish any additional information requested by the Company or any of its Affiliates to assure compliance with
applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities. The undersigned has completed
the Confidential Investor Questionnaire contained in Appendix A and the information contained therein is complete and accurate
as of the date thereof and is hereby affirmed as of the Closing Date. Any information that has been furnished or that will be furnished
by the undersigned to evidence its status as an accredited investor is accurate and complete, and does not contain any misrepresentation
or material omission.
(e) Experience
of Such Investor. Such Investor, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication, and experience
in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities,
and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Investor is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(f) No
Trading Market. Such Investor acknowledges that there is currently no active trading market for the Securities and that none is expected
to develop.
(g) General
Solicitation. Such Investor undersigned acknowledges that neither the Company nor any other person offered to sell the Securities
to it by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to: (i) any advertisement, article, notice,
or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar
or meeting whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.
(h) Confidentiality.
Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement and its advisors who have agreed to keep information confidential or have a fiduciary
obligation to keep such information confidential, such Investor has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection
with the transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).
(i) Foreign
Investor. If such Investor is not a United States person, such Investor represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance
of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Agreement, including:
(i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable
to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences,
if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities. The Investor further represents
that its payment for, and its continued beneficial ownership of the Securities, will not violate any applicable securities or other laws
of its jurisdiction.
(j) Information
from Company. Such Investor and its investment managers, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to obtain any information necessary
to verify the accuracy of any representations or information presented by the Company in this Agreement and have had all inquiries to
the Company answered, and have been furnished all requested materials, relating to the Company and the Offering and sale of the Securities
and anything set forth in the Transaction Documents. Neither the Investor nor the Investor’s investment managers, if any, have been
furnished any offering literature by the Company or any of its Affiliates, associates, or agents other than the Transaction Documents,
and the agreements referenced therein.
14
(k) Speculative
Nature of Investment; Risk Factors. SUCH INVESTOR UNDERSTANDS THAT AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.
Such Investor acknowledges that: (i) any projections, forecasts or estimates as may have been provided to the Investor are purely speculative
and cannot be relied upon to indicate actual results that may be obtained through this investment; any such projections, forecasts and
estimates are based upon assumptions which are subject to change and which are beyond the control of the Company or its management, (ii)
the tax effects which may be expected by this investment are not susceptible to absolute prediction, and new developments and rules of
the Internal Revenue Service, audit adjustment, court decisions or legislative changes may have an adverse effect on one or more of the
tax consequences of this investment, and (iii) the Investor has been advised to consult with his own advisor regarding legal matters and
tax consequences involving this investment. The Investor represents that the Investor’s investment objective is speculative in that
the Investor seeks the maximum total return through an investment in a broad spectrum of securities, which involves a higher degree of
risk than other investment styles and therefore the Investor’s risk exposure is also speculative. The Securities offered hereby
are highly speculative and involve a high degree of risk and Investor should only purchase these securities if Investor can afford to
lose their entire investment.
(l) Money
Laundering. If an entity, the operations of such Investor are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial
record-keeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, applicable money
laundering statutes and applicable rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”), and
no Action or Proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company with
respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, threatened.
(m)
Independent Evaluation. Such Investor confirms and agrees that (i) it has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to
purchase the Securities referenced hereinabove, (ii) it has not relied on the advise of, or any representation by the Placement Agent
or any affiliate thereof or any representative of the Placement Agent or its affiliates in making such decision, and (iii) neither the
Placement Agent nor any of its representatives has any responsibility with respect to the completeness or accuracy of any information
or materials furnished to such Investor in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.02 shall not modify, amend or affect such Investor’s right to rely on
the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any
other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation
of the transaction contemplated hereby.

it is so required, upon receipt of customary documentation from Investor’s broker (if the Securities are sold in brokers transactions),
the Company shall, at its own cost and effort, retain legal counsel to provide an opinion letter to the Company’s transfer agent
opining that the Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated thereunder,
so long as the requirements of Rule 144 are met for any Securities to be resold thereunder. The Company shall arrange for any such opinion
letter to be provided not later than two (2) Business Days after the date of delivery to and receipt by the Company of a written request
by any Investor together with (if required in order to render the opinion) any broker’s representation letter of other customary
documentation reasonably requested by the Company evidencing compliance with Rule 144 (the “Legend Removal Date”),
and such opinion letter may be a “blanket” opinion letter covering Securities held by more than one Investor (if applicable
to more than one Investor).
(d) Each
Investor, severally and not jointly with the other Investors, agrees that such Investor will sell any Securities only pursuant to either
the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom,
and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set
forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this
Section 4.01 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.
Section 4.02 Use
of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder to: (a) cover the expenses related to
the Offering; and (b) for general working capital purposes in order to fund the operations of the Company pending closing of the Subsequent
Financing and shall not use such proceeds: (i) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of
trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices); (ii) for the redemption of any Common Shares
or Common Shares Equivalents; (iii) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation; (iv) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations; or
(v) to lend, give credit or make advances to any officers, managers, directors, employees or Affiliates of the Company other than as stated
in Section 4.02(b).
Section 4.03 Integration.
The Company shall not sell, offer for sale, or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in
Section 2 of the Securities Act), including in or as any Subsequent Financing, that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the
Securities to the Investors in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to
the Investors.
16
Section 4.04 Publicity.
The Company and each Investor shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby, and neither the Company nor any Investor shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without
the prior consent of the Company with respect to any press release of any Investor, or without the prior consent of each Investor with
respect to any press release of the Company mentioning such Investor, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except
if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of
such public statement or communication.
Section 4.05 Indemnification
of Investors. The Company shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Investors and their respective partners, members, stockholders,
officers, directors, managers, employees and agents (and any other persons with other titles that have similar functions) (collectively,
“Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses,
of any kind or nature, (including fees relating to the cost of investigating and defending any of the foregoing) imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against such Indemnitee in any way related to or arising from or alleged to arise from: (i) any breach of any of the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents and (ii) any action instituted
against such Indemnitee in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an
Affiliate of such Indemnitee, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is
based upon a breach of such Indemnitee’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements
or understandings such Indemnitee may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Indemnitee of state or federal securities
laws or any conduct by such Indemnitee which results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee as determined by
a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction).
Section 4.06 Reservation
of Shares.
(a) The
Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Shares for issuance pursuant to the Securities.
(b) If,
on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) Common Shares is less than the minimum amount of shares
to be issued pursuant to this Agreement, on such date, then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend
the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued Common Shares to at least
the necessary amount in accordance with the applicable subscription amount, at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later
than the 60th day after such date.
Section 4.07 Warrants.
The Company shall issue to the Holder warrants (the “Warrants”)
to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock with (i) an exercise price of $1.50 per share, (ii) a term of five (5) years from
the date of issuance, and (iii) coverage equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Holder’s investment (calculated as the principal
amount divided by $1.00). The Warrants shall be exercisable on a cashless basis at the Holder’s discretion.
Section 4.08 Certain
Subsequent Financings; Conversion/Exchange Feature. Upon the consummation by the Company of any subsequent financing (a “Subsequent
Financing”), the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture shall be automatically converted/exchanged into a security having
substantially similar economic terms to the security issued in connection with such Subsequent Financing, subject to Section 4.11 below;
provided, that upon such conversion/exchange, the converted Debenture amount shall be subordinate in right of payment and priority to
the security issued to the lead investor in the Subsequent Financing. In the event the Subsequent Financing is not consummated, the Holder
may elect, in its sole discretion, either (i) to have the Debenture remain outstanding in accordance with its terms, (ii) to be repaid
from the proceeds of any other Subsequent Financing; or (iii) to elect to roll over and reinvest all or any portion of the outstanding
principal amount (and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, if applicable) into the next Subsequent Financing consummated by the Company,
in exchange for the securities issued in such financing (including, without limitation, price per security) as are offered to new investors
therein, subject to customary documentation and closing conditions. For the avoidance of doubt, the inclusion of any warrants or similar
rights in connection with such Subsequent Financing, with respect to the Holder, shall be at the discretion of the lead investor in such
financing, and shall not be guaranteed. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate of (x) any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant
to any security into which all the Debentures of this series may be converted or exchanged and (y) all Fee Shares to be issued hereunder
shall not exceed 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, without stockholder consent
in accordance with Nasdaq rules.
17
Section 4.09
Fee Shares. In consideration of the Holder’s investment, at
the soonest practicable date, the Company shall issue to the Holder, for no additional consideration, fee shares (the “Fee Shares”)
equal to (i) fifteen percent (15%) of the principal amount of the Holder’s investment, divided by (ii) $1.00, or in the case of
any Holder who is a Director of the Company, the Nasdaq Consolidated Closing Bid Price. The issuance of the Fee Shares shall remain subject
to compliance with applicable securities laws, Nasdaq rules and the Company’s governing documents.
Section 4.10 Registration
Rights. All shares of capital stock issued or issuable hereunder, including
without limitation upon exercise of the Warrants, or issuance of any Fee Shares (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”),
shall, at the Holder’s sole discretion, be deemed Registrable Securities. The Company agrees to include such Registrable Securities
for resale in any registration statement on Form S-1 filed in connection with the Company’s Subsequent Financing in accordance with
the any Registration Rights granted pursuant to this Offering or, in the event the Company consummates a merger, reverse merger, business
combination, recapitalization, reorganization, direct listing, or similar transaction, in any registration statement (including, without
limitation, on Form S-1, Form S-4, Form F-4, Form S-3, or any successor or comparable form) filed by the Company in connection with or
following such transaction to register securities for resale or issuance, and to cause such registration statement to be declared effective
by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Section 4.11
Most Favored Nation. The Company hereby covenants and agrees from and after the date hereof that none of the terms offered to any
other investor in any agreement in connection with a Subsequent Financing (“Other Agreement”) shall be, or shall be deemed
to be, more favorable, in the aggregate, to such other investor than those of the Holder and this Agreement, except as expressly set forth
in this Section 4.11. If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company enters into any Other Agreement in connection with a Subsequent
Financing, then (i) the Company shall provide prompt written notice thereof to the Holder, and (ii) upon execution of such Other Agreement,
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Securities shall be automatically amended and modified by way of conversion, without
any further action by the Holder or the Company, to provide the Holder with economic terms that are substantially equivalent to those
provided in such Subsequent Financing.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Holder acknowledges and agrees that such economic equivalence shall not entitle the Holder to, and the Most Favored
Nation provisions set forth herein shall expressly exclude, any rights, preferences or privileges granted to any lead investor or strategic
investor in such Subsequent Financing, including, without limitation, (A) any rights to appoint or designate members of the board of directors
or observers thereto, (B) any special voting rights, consent rights or approval rights, (C) any warrants, options or other equity kickers
or similar instruments, and (D) any other rights that are not primarily economic in nature or that are granted in consideration of such
investor’s status as a lead investor or for strategic, governance or similar purposes.
18
For the avoidance
of doubt, the intent of this Section 4.11 is that the Holder shall be entitled to receive securities in connection with a Subsequent Financing
that reflect the same core economic terms (including, without limitation, price, conversion mechanics and seniority (subject to agreed
subordination)) as the securities issued in such Subsequent Financing, but on a subordinated basis to the lead investor thereof and without
the additional rights and privileges described above. The Holder may, upon written notice to the Company, elect not to accept any such
amended or modified term, in which case this Agreement and the Securities shall remain in effect without giving effect to such amendment
or modification.
For the avoidance
of doubt, “economic terms” shall exclude any governance, control, information, participation, or similar non-economic rights,
whether or not such rights have an incidental economic effect.
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS

on the obligations between the Company and the other Investors, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated

by the other party (or parties).

Section 5.05 Amendments;
Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented, or amended except in a written instrument signed, in
the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Investors holding at least a majority in principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding
including the Lead Investor; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver, or majority action shall require
or result in the mandatory conversion of any individual Investor’s Debentures without the prior written consent of such Investor,
and each Investor shall retain the sole and independent right to determine whether or not to convert its own Debentures. In the case of
a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision,
condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default
or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right
hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
Section 5.06 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Investor (other
than by merger). Any Investor may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Investor assigns or
transfers any Securities, provided that such transfer complies with all applicable federal and State Securities Laws and that such transferee
agrees in writing with the Company to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents
that apply to the “Investors.”
Section 5.07 No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for sole the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
20
Section 5.08 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed
by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict
of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, managers, directors,
officers, stockholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the federal and state courts sitting in the County of New
York, New York (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby
or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and
agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York
Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal
service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered
or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this
Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising
out of or relating to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby. If any party shall commence an action or proceeding
to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by
the other party for its reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution
of such action or proceeding.
Section 5.09 Survival.
The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
Section 5.10 Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that
both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery
of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose
behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page was an original
thereof.
Section 5.11 Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force
and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts
to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
Section 5.12 Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of
the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Investor exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and
the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Investor may rescind or withdraw,
in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part
without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that in the case of a rescission of a conversion of a Debenture,
the Investor shall be required to return any Common Shares subject to any such rescinded conversion or exercise notice.
21
Section 5.13 Replacement
of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall
issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of
and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable
third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
Section 5.14 Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors
and the Company will be entitled to seek specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages
may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and
hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
Section 5.15 Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document or an Investor
enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required
to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without
limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
Section 5.16 Independent
Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and
not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance
of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document,
and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a
joint venture, or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction
Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
Each Investor has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The
Company has elected to provide all Investors with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not
because it was required or requested to do so by the Investors.
Section 5.17 Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents
and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall
not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto. In addition, each and every reference to
share prices and Common Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock
dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement.
Section 5.18 Headings.
The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.
Section 5.19 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH
KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY
WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(3) OPTIONAL CONVERSION.
(a) Conversion.
Upon the consummation by the Company of any subsequent financing (a “Subsequent Financing”), the outstanding principal
amount of the Debenture shall be automatically converted/exchanged into a security having substantially similar economic terms to the
security issued in connection with such Subsequent Financing; provided, that upon such conversion/exchange, the converted Debenture amount
shall be subordinate in right of payment and priority to the security issued to the lead investor in the Subsequent Financing. In the
event the Subsequent Financing is not consummated, the Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, either (i) to have the Debenture remain
outstanding in accordance with its terms, (ii) to be repaid from the proceeds of any other Subsequent Financing; or (iii) to elect to
roll over and reinvest all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount (and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, if applicable)
into the next Subsequent Financing consummated by the Company, in exchange for the securities issued in such financing (including, without
limitation, price per security) as are offered to new investors therein, subject to customary documentation and closing conditions. For
the avoidance of doubt, the inclusion of any warrants or similar rights in connection with such Subsequent Financing, with respect to
the Holder, shall be at the discretion of the lead investor in such financing, and shall not be guaranteed. For the avoidance of doubt,
the aggregate of (x) any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any security into which the Debentures may be converted or exchanged
and (y) any Fee Shares to be issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement shall not exceed 19.99% of the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, without stockholder consent in accordance with Nasdaq rules.
(b) Most
Favored Nation.
(i) The
Company hereby covenants and agrees from and after the date hereof that none of the terms offered to any other investor in any agreement
in connection with a Subsequent Financing (“Other Agreement”) shall be, or shall be deemed to be, more favorable, in the aggregate,
to such other investor than those of the Holder and this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in this Section (3)(c). If, and whenever
on or after the date hereof, the Company enters into any Other Agreement in connection with a Subsequent Financing, then (i) the Company
shall provide prompt written notice thereof to the Holder, and (ii) upon execution of such Other Agreement, the terms and conditions of
this Debenture shall be automatically amended and modified by way of conversion, without any further action by the Holder or the Company,
to provide the Holder with economic terms that are substantially equivalent to those provided in such Subsequent Financing.
(ii) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Holder acknowledges and agrees that such economic equivalence shall not entitle the Holder to, and the Most Favored
Nation provisions set forth herein shall expressly exclude, any rights, preferences or privileges granted to any lead investor or strategic
investor in such Subsequent Financing, including, without limitation, (A) any rights to appoint or designate members of the board of directors
or observers thereto, (B) any special voting rights, consent rights or approval rights, (C) any warrants, options or other equity kickers
or similar instruments, and (D) any other rights that are not primarily economic in nature or that are granted in consideration of such
investor’s status as a lead investor or for strategic, governance or similar purposes.
(iii) For
the avoidance of doubt, the intent of this Section (3)(c) is that the Holder shall be entitled to receive securities in connection with
a Subsequent Financing that reflect the same core economic terms (including, without limitation, price, conversion mechanics and seniority
(subject to agreed subordination)) as the securities issued in such Subsequent Financing, but on a subordinated basis to the lead investor
thereof and without the additional rights and privileges described above. The Holder may, upon written notice to the Company, elect not
to accept any such amended or modified term, in which case this Agreement and the Securities shall remain in effect without giving effect
to such amendment or modification.
(iv) For
the avoidance of doubt, “economic terms” shall exclude any governance, control, information, participation, or similar non-economic
rights, whether or not such rights have an incidental economic effect.
3
(c) Share Reservation. The
Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a reserve
of shares equal to the number of shares required for full exercise of the securities offered under the Securities Purchase Agreement,
dated April [__], 2026, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (the
“Minimum Reserve”). The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue,
be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable. The Company shall take commercially reasonable steps to authorize
additional shares upon reasonable request.
(4) REISSUANCE OF THIS DEBENTURE.
(a) Transfer.
If this Debenture is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Debenture to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith
issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Debenture (in accordance with Section 4(d)), registered in the name of the registered
transferee or assignee, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder (along with any accrued and unpaid interest
thereof) and, if less than the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Debenture (in accordance with Section 4(d)) to
the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Debenture,
acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this Debenture, the outstanding Principal represented by this Debenture may
be less than the Principal stated on the face of this Debenture.
(b) Lost, Stolen or
Mutilated Debenture. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of this Debenture, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the
Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Debenture, the Company shall execute
and deliver to the Holder a new Debenture (in accordance with Section 4(d)) representing the outstanding Principal.
(c) Debenture Exchangeable
for Different Denominations. This Debenture is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the
Company, for a new Debenture or Debentures (in accordance with Section 4(d)) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of
this Debenture, and each such new Debenture will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at
the time of such surrender.
(d) Issuance of New
Debentures. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Debenture pursuant to the terms of this Debenture, such new Debenture
(i) shall be of like tenor with this Debenture, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Debenture, the Principal remaining
outstanding (or in the case of a new Debenture being issued pursuant to Section 4(a) or Section 4(c), the Principal designated by the
Holder which, when added to the Principal represented by the other new Debentures issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed
the Principal remaining outstanding under this Debenture immediately prior to such issuance of new Debentures), (iii) shall have an issuance
date, as indicated on the face of such new Debenture, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Debenture, (iv) shall have the same
rights and conditions as this Debenture, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest from the Issuance Date.

The term “Warrant Shares,”
as used herein, refers to the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. The Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment
as provided in Paragraph 4 hereof.
This Warrant is subject to the following terms,
provisions, and conditions:
1. Manner of Exercise; Issuance
of Shares; Payment for Shares.
(a) Subject to the
provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant, together with a
completed notice of exercise in the form attached hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”), to the Company during normal business
hours on any business day at the Company’s principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may
designate by notice to the Holder), and upon payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer for
the account of the Company of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the Notice of Exercise. The Warrant Shares so purchased
shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder or such Holder’s designee, as the record owner of such Shares, as of the close of business
on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed Notice of Exercise shall have been delivered, and payment
shall have been made for such Shares as set forth above. The Company will direct the Company’s Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder
the Warrant Shares to which Holder is entitled within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) business days, after this Warrant shall
have been so exercised. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall,
at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates or other evidence, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant representing the number
of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised.
1
(b) If at any time
after the issuance the date of this Warrant, there is no Registration Statement effective and available for use by the Holder to resell
the Warrant Shares immediately upon exercise of this Warrant, this Warrant may also be exercised in whole or in part by means of a “cashless”
or net exercise, in the following manner. Under a cashless exercise the Holder shall be entitled to receive the number of Warrant Shares
which is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) X (C)] by (A) where:
A =
The Market Price of the Warrant Shares defined as the average of the last reported sale prices on the principal trading market for the Common Stock during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding such exercise date.
B =
The Exercise Price hereunder (as adjusted).
C =
The number of Warrant Shares that the Holder wishes to exercise as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise.
(c) All Warrant
Shares will be issued in “Book Entry” form and no certificates will be issued, unless the Warrant Shares are then registered
under the Securities Act, or if the Company receives a written opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel are acceptable to the Company,
to the effect that such Warrant Shares may be freely transferred without registration under said Act and under applicable state securities
or blue sky laws, in which case they may be issued to the Holder by DWAC, upon Holder providing the necessary information. Unless the
Warrant Shares are then so registered, the Warrant Shares will be “restricted securities” under applicable securities laws
and pursuant to these laws, Holder must hold the Warrant Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by
state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Holder acknowledges that the
Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Warrant Shares for resale.
(d) Unless the Warrant
Shares are then registered under the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect (as
well as any legends required by applicable state corporate law or federal or state securities laws):
“THESE SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (“THE ACT”) AND ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED
IN RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT. THESE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT (I) PURSUANT
TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, OR (II) UNLESS THE ISSUER HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO IT
THAT THESE SHARES MAY BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION UNDER THE ACT AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER.”
To ensure compliance with the restrictions referred
to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything in this Warrant to the contrary, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise a number of Warrants (or portions thereof)
in excess of the number of Warrants (or portions thereof) upon exercise of which the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership
of the unexercised Warrants and the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation
on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein) and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants (or portions thereof) with respect to which the determination described herein is being made, would result in beneficial
ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99/9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the immediately
preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and Regulation 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (i) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, the limitation on exercise of this Warrant set forth herein may not be amended without the written consent
of the Holder and the Company.
2
2. Period
of Exercise. This Warrant shall not be exercisable until the date that is six (6) months following the date on which this
Warrant is issued and delivered (the “Initial Exercise Date”). From and after the Initial Exercise Date, this Warrant shall
be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, until 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on the date set forth
in paragraph (f) under “Warrant Details” above (the “Exercise Period”).
3. Certain
Agreements of the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) Shares to be
Fully Paid. All Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully
paid, and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(b) Reservation of
Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance
upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.
(c) Successors and
Assigns. This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation, or acquisition
of all or substantially all the Company’s assets.
(d) Nasdaq Compliance. The
Company shall ensure that the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, including the 19.99% limitation
on issuances without stockholder approval unless otherwise permitted.
4. Adjustment
Provisions. During the Exercise Period, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time as provided in this Paragraph 4. In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein results in
a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded up to the nearest cent.
(a) Subdivision or
Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then,
after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately
reduced. If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise)
the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination,
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.
(b) Adjustment in
Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 4(a), the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately
prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
(c) Consolidation,
Merger or Sale. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into any other corporation, or
in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than in connection with a plan of complete
liquidation of the Company, then as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance, adequate provision will be made whereby
the Holder will have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately
theretofore acquirable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with
respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of
this Warrant had such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance not taken place. In any such case, the Company will make appropriate
provision to insure that the provisions of this Paragraph 4 hereof will thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be in relation to any
shares of stock or securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company will not effect any consolidation,
merger or sale or conveyance unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) assumes by
written instrument the obligations under this Paragraph 4 and the obligations to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities
or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to acquire.
3
5. Issue
Tax. The issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder or such
shares for any issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may
be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than the Holder.
6. No
Rights or Liabilities as a Shareholder. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as
a shareholder of the Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Warrant Shares,
and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Exercise
Price or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
7. Transfer,
Exchange, and Replacement of Warrant.
(a) Procedure on
Transfer. This Warrant and the rights granted to the Holder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this
Warrant, together with a properly executed assignment in the form attached hereto, at the office or agency of the Company. Until due presentment
for registration of transfer on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered Holder as the owner and holder of this
Warrant for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
(b) Warrant Exchangeable
for Different Denominations. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the office or agency
of the Company, for new Warrants of like tenor representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock
which may be purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of shares as shall be designated
by the Holder at the time of such surrender.
(c) Replacement of
Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory
in form and amount to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company,
at its expense, will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
(d) Cancellation. Upon
the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer, exchange, or replacement as provided in this Paragraph 7, this Warrant
shall be promptly canceled by the Company.

including, but not limited to, any financing statements, including amendments, authorized to be filed under the UCC, without signature
of the Grantor where permitted by law, including the filing of a financing statement describing the Collateral as all assets now owned
or hereafter acquired by the Grantor, or words of similar effect. The Grantor also hereby ratifies any previously filed documents or recordings
regarding the Collateral, including but not limited to, any and all previously filed financing statements. The Secured Party agrees to
promptly file termination statements upon full satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.
10. REMEDIES.

Secured Party by law, and shall be cumulative and may be exercised simultaneously. No delay, omission, or failure on the part of the Secured
Party to exercise or enforce any of its rights or remedies, either granted under this Agreement or by law, shall constitute an estoppel

inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns.
12. SEVERABILITY
AND MODIFICATION. If any of the provisions in this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such determination

effective by the SEC. In the event that a Holder sells or otherwise transfers any of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, each
transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration
Statement for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any person
or entity which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Holders,
pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Holders which are covered by such Registration Statement. In

consent of the Majority Holders.

upon for the registration of the resale of any or all of the Registrable Securities, and/or (z) a Holder of any Registrable Securities
must be named as an underwriter, the Holders understand and agree the Company may reduce, on a pro rata basis, the total number
of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of each such Holder. In any such pro rata reduction, the number of Registrable
Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered
Shares. The Holders acknowledge and agree the provisions of this paragraph may apply to more than one Registration Statement; and
5
(2) For not more than fifteen
(15) consecutive days or for a total of not more than thirty (30) days in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may suspend the use
of any prospectus included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Section in the event that the Company determines in good
faith that such suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of MNPI concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time
is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company or (B) amend or supplement the affected Registration
Statement or the related prospectus so that (i) such Registration Statement shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein or (ii) such prospectus shall
not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, including in connection with the filing of a post-effective amendment
to such Registration Statement in connection with the Company’s filing of an Annual Report on Form 10-K for any fiscal year (an
“Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (a) notify each Holder in writing of the commencement of
an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of an Holder) disclose to such Holder any MNPI giving rise to an Allowed
Delay, (b) advise the Holders in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (c)
use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable.

for Registrable Securities. The Company will keep each Holder reasonably advised as to the filing and effectiveness of the Registration
Statement. At its expense with respect to the Registration Statement, the Company will:
(a) prepare and file with
the Commission with respect to the Registrable Securities, a Registration Statement on Form S-1, Form S-3, or any other form for which
the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of the
Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended methods of distribution thereof, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such Registration Statement to become effective and shall remain effective during the Effectiveness Period. Thereafter,
the Company shall be entitled to withdraw such Registration Statement and the Holders shall have no further right to offer or sell any
of the Registrable Securities registered for resale thereon pursuant to the respective Registration Statement (or any prospectus relating
thereto);
(b) if the Registration Statement
is subject to review by the Commission, respond in a commercially reasonable manner to all comments and diligently pursue resolution of
any comments to the satisfaction of the Commission;
(c) prepare and file with
the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement
effective during the Effectiveness Period;
(d) furnish, without charge,
to each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (i) a reasonable number of copies of such Registration
Statement (including any exhibits thereto other than exhibits incorporated by reference), each amendment and supplement thereto as such
Holder may reasonably request, (ii) such number of copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary
prospectus and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 of the Securities Act) as such Holders may reasonably request, in conformity
with the requirements of the Securities Act, and (iii) such other documents as such Holder may require to consummate the disposition of
the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder, but only during the Effectiveness Period;
6
(e) use its commercially
reasonable efforts to register or qualify such registration under such other applicable securities laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder
of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement reasonably requests and as may be necessary for the marketability of
the Registrable Securities (such request to be made by the time the applicable Registration Statement is deemed effective by the Commission)
and do any and all other acts and things necessary to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Holder; provided, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction,
or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(f) notify each Holder of
Registrable Securities, the disposition of which requires delivery of a prospectus relating thereto under the Securities Act, of the happening
of any event (as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event), which comes to the Company’s attention, that will
after the occurrence of such event cause the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, if not amended or supplemented, to contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and the Company shall promptly thereafter prepare and furnish to
such Holder a supplement or amendment to such prospectus (or prepare and file appropriate reports under the Exchange Act) so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, unless suspension of the use of such prospectus otherwise is authorized herein or in the event of a Blackout
Period, in which case no supplement or amendment need be furnished (or Exchange Act filing made) until the termination of such suspension
or Blackout Period;
(g) comply, and continue
to comply during the Effectiveness Period, in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and with all applicable
rules and regulations of the Commission with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement;
(h) as promptly as practicable
after becoming aware of such event, notify each Holder of Registrable Securities being offered or sold pursuant to the Registration Statement
of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of the Registration Statement;
(i) use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause all the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be quoted on such Approved Market
on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed or quoted;
(j) provide a transfer agent
and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the shares of Common Stock registered hereunder;
7
(k) (i) cause its legal counsel,
at the Company’s expense, (a) to, within the time frame set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated on even date
herewith, between the Company and the Purchasers, issue to the Transfer Agent for the Common Stock, after the effective date of a Registration
Statement, a “blanket” legal opinion in customary form to the effect that the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
Statement have been registered for resale under the Securities Act and, if such counsel has requested and received a signed certificate
(a “Legend Removal Certificate”) from a Holder of the Registrable Securities, may then be reissued without any legend
or restriction relating to their status as “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 (“Legend Removal Shares”)
upon resale pursuant to such Registration Statement; and (b) promptly to amend such opinion to cause the Registrable Securities to be
Legend Removal Shares after later receipt of a Legend Removal Certificate from the Holder, and (ii) cause the Transfer Agent for the Common
Stock to issue such Registrable Securities without any such legend as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than three (3) Trading
Days after the effective date of a Registration Statement; and
(l) take all other reasonable
actions necessary to expedite and facilitate the disposition by the Holders of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement.
4. Suspension of Offers
and Sales. Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described
in Section 3(f) hereof or of the commencement of a Blackout Period, such Holder shall discontinue the disposition of Registrable Securities
included in the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated
by Section 3(f) hereof or notice of the end of the Blackout Period, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the
Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies (including, without limitation, any and all drafts), other than permanent file copies,
then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such
notice.
5. Registration Expenses.
The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with any registration obligation provided herein, including, without limitation, all
registration, filing, stock exchange fees, printing expenses, all fees and expenses of complying with applicable securities laws, and
the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and of its independent accountants; provided, that, in any registration,
each party shall pay for its own underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes. Except as provided in this Section 5 and Section
8, the Company shall not be responsible for the expenses of any attorney or other advisor employed by a Holder.
6. Assignment of Rights.
The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Holders to any transferee of all or any portion of such Holder’s
Registrable Securities if: (i) the Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such
agreement is furnished to the Company promptly after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer
or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect
to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned and (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further
disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws;
(iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee
agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein.
8
7. Information by Holder.
A Holder with Registrable Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company (and any managing underwriter(s), where
applicable) such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, the intended method of disposition of such securities,
and such other information as shall be required in order to comply with any applicable law or regulation in connection with the registration
of such Holder’s Registrable Securities or any qualification or compliance with respect to such Holder’s Registrable Securities
and referred to in this Agreement. A form of Selling Stockholder Questionnaire is attached as Exhibit A hereto.
8. Indemnification.
(a) In the event of the offer
and sale of Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company shall, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, each Holder, its directors, officers, partners, each other person or entity who participates as an underwriter
in the offering or sale of such securities, and each other person or entity, if any, who controls or is under common control with such
Holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, and expenses to which the Holder or any such director, officer, partner or underwriter or controlling person may become
subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or expenses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (1), in the
case of any registration statement prepared and filed by the Company under which Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities
Act, if such registration statement contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (2) in the case of any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus
or summary prospectus contained in such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such preliminary prospectus,
final prospectus or summary prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in
order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company
of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with this Agreement; and the Company shall reimburse the Holder, and each such
director, officer, partner, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably and actually incurred by
them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided,
that such indemnity agreement found in this Section 8(a) shall in no event exceed the net proceeds from the Offering received by the Company;
and provided further, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case (i) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement in or omission from
such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof
or (ii) if the person or entity asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) who purchased
the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof did not receive a copy of the preliminary prospectus or the final prospectus (or
the final prospectus as amended or supplemented) at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Securities to
such person or entity because of the failure of such Holder or underwriter to so provide such preliminary or final prospectus and the
untrue statement or omission of a material fact made in such preliminary prospectus was corrected in the amended preliminary or final
prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended or supplemented). Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Holders, or any such director, officer, partner, underwriter or controlling person and shall
survive the transfer of such shares by the Holder.
9
(b) As a condition to including
Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder agrees to be bound by the terms of
this Section 8 and to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers, and
each other person or entity, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such director or officer or controlling person may become
subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state law, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon:
(x) such Holder’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (y)(1), in the case of any
registration statement prepared and filed by the Company under which Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act,
if such registration statement contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (2) in the case of any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus
or summary prospectus contained in such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, such preliminary prospectus, final
prospectus or summary prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (i) to the extent, but only to the
extent, that such untrue statement or omission referred to in (y)(1) or (y)(2) above is contained in any information so furnished in writing
by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in the registration statement or such prospectus or (ii) to the extent that (1)
such untrue statements or omissions referred to in (y)(1) or (y)(2) above are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished
in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such
Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder
expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such prospectus or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(f) hereof, the use by such Holder of an outdated or
defective prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the
receipt by such Holder of the advice contemplated in Section 3(f). Each Holder’s obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not
joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder, whether pursuant to indemnification, contribution
or otherwise, be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable
Securities giving rise to such obligation.
10
(c) Promptly after receipt
by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in this Section (including
any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give
written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided, that the failure of any indemnified party
to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section, except to the extent
that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified
party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense
thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict
of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the assumption of the defenses thereof
or the indemnifying party fails to defend such claim in a diligent manner. If, in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a
conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the assumption of the defenses
thereof, the indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall
have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party. No indemnifying
party shall be liable for any settlement of any action or proceeding effected without its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without
the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement, unless such consent to entry of judgment or settlement includes as an unconditional term thereof
the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and without limiting any of the rights set forth above, in any event any party
shall have the right to retain, at its own expense, counsel with respect to the defense of a claim.
(d) If an indemnifying party
does or is not permitted to assume the defense of an action pursuant to Section 8(c) or in the case of the expense reimbursement obligation
set forth in Sections 8(a) and (b), the indemnification required by Sections 8(a) and 8(b) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount
thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills received or expenses, losses, damages, or liabilities are
incurred provided that the indemnifying party is provided appropriate documentation.
11
(e) If the indemnification
provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect
to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party hereunder, shall (i) contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim,
damage or expense as is appropriate to reflect the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified
party on the other (determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or omission relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission), or (ii) if the allocation provided
by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated,
not only the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, but also the relative benefits received
by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled
to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
9. Transfer Restrictions.
(a) Disposition of Securities.
The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with provincial, state and federal securities laws in the United States, as the case
may be. In connection with any transfer of Securities (other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, or to an affiliate
of such Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 9(c)), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide
to the Company, at the Company’s expense, an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company,
the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require
registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing
to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of such Purchaser under this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents.
(b) Legend.
Each Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 9, of a legend on any of the Securities in the form set
forth in the Purchase Agreement.
(c) Legend Removal.
Book entry statements evidencing the Registrable Securities shall not contain any legend (“Unlegended Shares”) (including
the legends set forth in Section 9(b) hereof): (i) required under the Securities Act while a registration statement covering the resale
of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) if such Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without volume
or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including
judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of any agency or Trading Market with regard to applicable law). The Company
shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent
to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If the Shares are converted at a time when there is an effective registration statement
to cover the resale of the Registrable Securities, or if such Registrable Securities may be sold under Rule 144 or if such legend is not
otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by
the staff of the Commission) then such Registrable Securities shall be issued free of all United States legends. The Company agrees that
following such time as all such legends are no longer required under this Section 9(d), it will, no later than five (5) Trading Days following
the delivery by such Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Registrable Securities, as applicable,
issued with a restrictive legend (such fifth (5th) Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be
delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends (however, the Company
shall use reasonable efforts to deliver such shares within two (2) Trading Days). The Company may not make any notation on its records
or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 9. Certificates for Registrable
Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall, if possible, be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to such Purchaser by crediting
the account of such Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser.
12
(d) DWAC; DRS.
In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, upon request of such Purchaser, and so long as the certificates
therefor do not bear a legend and such Purchaser is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the
Company shall cause its Transfer Agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by either (i) crediting the account of such Purchaser’s
prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system, provided
that the Common Stock is DTC eligible and the Company’s Transfer Agent participates in the Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian system,
or (ii) crediting the account of such Purchaser’s prime broker via the Direct Registration System (“DRS”). In
either case, such delivery must be made on or before the Legend Removal Date.
(e) Plan of
Distribution. Each Purchaser agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if
Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein,
and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 9 is
predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.
10. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
11. Rule 144. With
a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time
permit the Holders to sell the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts: (i) to make and keep public information available as those terms are understood in SEC Rule 144, (ii) to file with the SEC in
a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by an issuer of securities registered under the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act pursuant to SEC Rule 144, (iii) as long as any Holder owns any Registrable Securities, to furnish in writing upon such
Holder’s request a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 and of
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and to furnish to such Holder a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company,
and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as may be reasonably requested in availing such Holder of any rule or regulation
of the SEC permitting the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration, (iv) with respect to the sale of any Registrable
Securities by a Holder pursuant to SEC Rule 144 and subject to Holder providing necessary documentation to meet the requirements of such
rule, to promptly furnish, without any charge to such Holder, a written legal opinion of its counsel to facilitate such sale and, if necessary,
instruct its Transfer Agent in writing that it may rely on said written legal opinion of counsel with respect to said sale and (v) undertake
any additional actions commercially necessary to maintain the availability of Rule 144.
13
12. Independent Nature
of Each Purchaser’s Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint
with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and each Purchaser shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations
of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed
to constitute such Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption
that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights
arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding
for such purpose.
13. Miscellaneous.
(a) Governing Law.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal
laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of
New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State 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 brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue
of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. 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 to such party at the address for such notices to it under
this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement
shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION
OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
14
(b) Remedies. In the
event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company,
as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of
damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary
damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement
and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or
shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(c) Successors and Assigns.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, permitted
transferees and assignees, executors and administrators of the parties hereto.
(d) No Inconsistent Agreements.
The Company has not entered, as of the date hereof, and shall not enter, on or after the date of this Agreement, into any agreement with
respect to its securities that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts
with the provisions hereof.
(e) Entire Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof.
(f) Notices, etc.
All notices or other communications which are required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and sufficient if delivered
by hand, by facsimile transmission, by registered or certified mail, postage pre-paid, by electronic mail, or by courier or overnight

(g) Delays or Omissions.
No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Holder, upon any breach or default of the Company under this
Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such Holder nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or
default, or an acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach or default thereunder occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach
or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval
of any kind or character on the part of any Holder of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any Holder
of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth
in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement, or by law or otherwise afforded to any holder, shall be cumulative and not
alternative.
(h) Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing
such counterparts, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission or electronic transmission via .PDF file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing
(or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or electronic signature page were
an original thereof.
(i) Severability.
In the case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
(j) Amendments. The
provisions of this Agreement may be amended at any time and from time to time, and particular provisions of this Agreement may be waived,
with and only with an agreement or consent in writing signed by the Company and the Majority Holders; provided that no such amendment,
action or omission that adversely affects, alters or changes the interests of any Holder in a manner disproportionate to the other Holders
shall be effective against such adversely impacted Holder without the prior written consent of such Holder (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned, or delayed). The Purchasers acknowledge that by the operation of this Section, the Majority Holders may have the
right and power to diminish or eliminate all rights of the Holders under this Agreement.
