Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive

Agreement.

On

April 15, 2026, Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement

(the “Purchase Agreement”) with the investors named therein (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company

agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering by the Company directly to the Investors (the “Registered Offering”)

(i) 816,068 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”)

at a purchase price of $3.03 per share and (ii) pre-funded common stock purchase warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to

purchase up to 9,017 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) at a purchase price of $3.029 per share for

aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million, before deducting the placement agent fees and related offering expenses. The

Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations

and warranties and agreements of the Company and the Investors and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. Pursuant

to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to certain restrictions on the issuance and sale of its Common Stock or

Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) during the 15-day period following the closing of the Registered Offering

(the “Lock-up Period”). Additionally, the Company agreed not to enter into a variable rate transaction for a period of one

year following the closing of the Registered Offering, provided, however, that following the Lock-up Period, (i) the Company may enter

into and/or issue shares of Common Stock in an “at-the-market” facility with Wainwright (as defined below) as sales agent,

and (ii) the Company may enter into, or effect a transaction under, an equity line of credit.

The Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants and Pre-Funded

Warrant Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-288595), which was filed with

the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 9, 2025 and was declared effective by the Commission on

January 6, 2026 (the “Registration Statement”).

In a concurrent private placement (the “Private

Placement” and together with the Registered Offering, the “Offering”), the Company agreed to issue to the Investors

series H common warrants (the “Series H Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,650,170 shares of Common Stock. The

Series H Warrants will have an exercise price of $2.78 per share and will be immediately exercisable and will expire twenty-four months

following the effective date of the registration statement registering the resale of the Common Stock underlying the Series H Warrants. The Series H Warrants and the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Series

H Warrants are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), were not offered

pursuant to the Registration Statement and were offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act,

and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.

A holder (together with its affiliates) may not

exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants or Series H Warrants to the extent that such holder would own more than 4.99% (or, at

such holder’s option upon issuance, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise. However,

upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to the Company, a holder with a 4.99% ownership blocker may increase the amount

of ownership of outstanding Common Stock after exercising the holder’s Pre-Funded Warrant or Series H Warrant, as applicable, up

to 9.99% of the number of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage

ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrant or Series H Warrant, as applicable.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement,

the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a registration statement on Form S-1 providing for the resale by holders

of shares of its Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Series H Warrants, to become effective within 60 calendar days following

the date of the Purchase Agreement (or within 90 calendar days following the date of the Purchase Agreement in case of a “full

review” by the Commission) and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until the Investors do not own any Series

H Warrants or shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof.

2

The Offering is expected to close on or about

April 16, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. On March 23, 2026, the Company entered into an engagement letter, in connection

with the Registered Offering (the “Engagement Letter”), with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), pursuant

to which Wainwright agreed to serve as the exclusive placement agent for the issuance and sale of securities of the Company pursuant to

the Purchase Agreement. As compensation for such placement agent services, the Company has agreed to pay Wainwright an aggregate cash

fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the Offering, up to $50,000 for its fees and expenses of legal counsel

and $15,950 for clearing expenses. The Engagement Letter also includes indemnification obligations of the Company and other provisions

customary for transactions of this nature.

The Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital

Market. There is no established trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Series H Warrants, and the Company does not intend

to list the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Series H Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. Without

a trading market, the liquidity of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Series H Warrants may be extremely limited.

The foregoing summaries of the form of Purchase

Agreement, the form of Pre-Funded Warrant, and the form of Series H Warrant do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified

in their entirety by, such documents attached as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1, and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which

Exhibit 4.1

PRE-FUNDED COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

ACURX PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

Warrant Shares: _______

Issue Date: April 16, 2026

Initial Exercise Date: April 16, 2026

THIS PRE-FUNDED COMMON STOCK

PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, _____________ or its assigns (the “Holder”)

is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after

the date set forth above (the “Initial Exercise Date”) until this Warrant is exercised in full, to subscribe for and

purchase from Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware (the “Company”),

up to ______ shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock. The purchase price

of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

Section 1.     Definitions.

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement

(the “Purchase Agreement”), dated April 15, 2026, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.

Section 2.      Exercise.

a)  Exercise

of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on

or after the Initial Exercise Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of

the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading

Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein)

following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable

Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified

in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required,

nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding

anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder

has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall

surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise

is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares

available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal

to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased as set forth in the applicable Notice(s) of Exercise. The Holder and the Company

shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection

to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance

of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the

Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount

stated on the face hereof.

b)   Exercise

Price. The aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except for a nominal exercise price of $0.001 per Warrant Share, was pre-funded

to the Company on or prior to the Initial Exercise Date and, consequently, no additional consideration (other than the nominal exercise

price of $0.001 per Warrant Share) shall be required to be paid by the Holder to any Person to effect any exercise of this Warrant. The

Holder shall not be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-paid aggregate exercise price under any circumstance

or for any reason whatsoever, including in the event this Warrant shall not have been exercised in full. The remaining unpaid exercise

price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.001, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

c)   Cashless

Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which

the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

(A) = as

applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of

Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both

executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours”

(as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at

the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise

or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”)

as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular

trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after

the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on

the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both

executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading

Day;

(B) = the

Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X) = the

number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise

were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

If Warrant Shares

are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities

Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. The Company agrees not to take any

position contrary to this Section 2(c).

“Bid

Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common

Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding

date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from

9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the OTCQB Venture Market (“OTCQB”),

the OTCQX Best Market (“OTCQX”) or the OTCID Basic Market (“OTCID”) is not a Trading Market, the

volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB, OTCQX or OTCID as applicable,

(c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB, OTCQX or OTCID and if prices for the Common Stock are

then reported on the Pink Limited Market (“Pink Market”) (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions

of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market

value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest

of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

“VWAP”

means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed

or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date)

on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30

a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB, OTCQX or OTCID is not a Trading Market, the

volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB, OTCQX or OTCID as applicable,

(c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB, OTCQX or OTCID and if prices for the Common Stock are

then reported on the Pink Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent

bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock

as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding

and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

d)   Mechanics

of Exercise.

i. Delivery

of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer

Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company

through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system

and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant

Shares by the Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate,

registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which

the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is

the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company (if applicable) and (ii) the

number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period, in each case (i) or (ii), after the delivery to the Company of

the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the

Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this

Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise

Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by the Warrant Share Delivery Date. If the Company fails for any reason

to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay

to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based

on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading

Day on the third Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until

such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant

in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period”

means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect

to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any

Notice(s) of Exercise delivered on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date, which may be delivered

at any time after the time of execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver the Warrant Shares subject to such notice(s) by

4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date and the Initial Exercise Date shall be the Warrant Share Delivery Date

for purposes hereunder, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received

by such Warrant Share Delivery Date.

ii. Delivery

of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and

upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing

the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects

be identical with this Warrant.

iii. Rescission

Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by

the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

iv. Compensation

for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if

the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above

pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase

(in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver

in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”),

then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price

(including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying

(1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue

times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the

Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in

which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been

issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common

Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with

an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence

the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable

to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit

a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree

of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock

upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

v. No Fractional

Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As

to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election,

either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or

round up to the next whole share.

vi. Charges,

Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental

expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant

Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however,

that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for

exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as

a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all

Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another

established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

vii. Closing

of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,

pursuant to the terms hereof.

e) Holder’s

Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise

any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise

as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting

as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)),

would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the

number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number

of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude

the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant

beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised

or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject

to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its

Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership

shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,

it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of

the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that

the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation

to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is

exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s

determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates

and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation,

and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any

group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and

regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common

Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent

periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or

(C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the

number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after

giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution

Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership

Limitation” shall be [4.99%/9.99%] of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to

the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or

decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in

no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares

of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply.

Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered

to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with

the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with

the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give

effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3. Certain

Adjustments.

a)    Stock

Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes

a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of

Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this

Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way

of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of

shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction

of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before

such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the

number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this

Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the

record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately

after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b)    [RESERVED]

c)    Subsequent

Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues

or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders

of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the

terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the

number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof,

including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant,

issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common

Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent

that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership

Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such

shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance

for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

d)   Pro

Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution

of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including,

without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification,

corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after

the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent

that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise

of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)

immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the

record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however,

that, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial

Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership

of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance

for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership

Limitation). To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion

of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant.

e)    Fundamental

Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related

transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (or any Subsidiary),

directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially

all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange

offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender

or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding

shares of Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification,

reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively

converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related

transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization,

recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group

acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any

subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable

upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to

any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring

corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”)

receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable

immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this

Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such

Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental

Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the

relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities,

cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration

it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in

a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all

of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant

to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay)

prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security

of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable

for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common

Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior

to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock

(but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such

shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic

value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in

form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and

be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction

Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power

of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the

same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

f)   Calculations.

All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For

purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be

the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

g)     Notice

to Holder.

i. Adjustment

to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly

deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number

of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii. Notice

to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the

Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the

Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of

capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection

with any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially

all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or

(E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company,

then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the

Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice

stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants,

or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions,

redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,

transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common

Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon

such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any

defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.

To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company

or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date

of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 4. Transfer

of Warrant.

a) Transferability.

Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration

rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated

agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its

agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if

required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable,

and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing

the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,

the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full,

in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder

delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may

be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

b) New

Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company,

together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or

its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination,

the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance

with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be

identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

c) Warrant

Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant

Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder

of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other

purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

a) No

Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends

or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly

set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant

to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in

no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

b) Loss,

Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory

to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case

of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include

the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make

and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

c) Saturdays,

Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or

granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading

Day.

d) Authorized

Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued

Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights

under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who

are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company

will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation

of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company

covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon

exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized,

validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue

thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

Except and to

the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate

of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or

any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all

times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate

to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the

Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately

prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly

and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable

efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may

be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

Before taking

any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise

Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public

regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

e) Jurisdiction.

All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance

with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

f) Restrictions.

The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not

utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

g) Nonwaiver

and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as

a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this

Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results

in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and

expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder

in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

h) Notices.

Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in

accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

i) Limitation

of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant

Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase

price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the

Company.

j) Remedies.

The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific

performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss

incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any

action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

k) Successors

and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the

benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.

The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable

by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

l) Amendment.

This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

m) Severability.

Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,

but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the

extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

n) Headings.

The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

SERIES H COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

ACURX

PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

Warrant Shares: _______ Issue Date: April 16, 2026

Initial Exercise Date: April 16, 2026

THIS SERIES H COMMON STOCK PURCHASE

WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, _______ or its assigns (the “Holder”)

is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after

the date set forth above (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the

date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Date, provided that, if such date is not a Trading Day, the date that is the

immediately following Trading Day (the “Termination Date”), but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from

Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware (the “Company”),

up to _______ shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock. The purchase price

of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

Section 1.         Definitions.

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement

(the “Purchase Agreement”), dated April 15, 2026, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.

Section 2.         Exercise.

a)       Exercise

of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on

or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed PDF copy submitted

by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within

the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as

defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise

Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States

bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise.

No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of

any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender

this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised

in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of

the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of

a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant

Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased as set forth in the applicable Notice(s) of

Exercise. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.

The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The

Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following

the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given

time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

1

b)            Exercise

Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $2.78, subject to adjustment hereunder

(the “Exercise Price”).

c)            Cashless

Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering the resale of the Warrant Shares

by, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the resale of the Warrant Shares by, the Holder, then this Warrant may also

be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to

receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

(A) = as applicable:

(i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is

(1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed

and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as

defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the

option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise

or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”)

as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular

trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after

the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on

the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both

executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading

Day;

2

(B) = the

Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X) = the

number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise

were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

If Warrant Shares

are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities

Act, the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees

not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c), except to the extent required by applicable law, rules, or regulations.

“Bid

Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common

Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding

date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from

9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the OTCQB Venture Market (“OTCQB”),

the OTCQX Best Market (“OTCQX”) or the OTCID Basic Market (“OTCID”) is not a Trading Market, the

volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB, OTCQX or OTCID as applicable,

(c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB, OTCQX or OTCID and if prices for the Common Stock are

then reported on the Pink Limited Market (“Pink Market”) (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions

of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market

value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest

of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

“VWAP”

or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date)

on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30

a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB, OTCQX or OTCID is not a Trading Market, the

Notwithstanding

anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant

to this Section 2(c).

d)            Mechanics

of Exercise.

i.    Delivery

of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer

Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company

through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system

and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant

Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations

pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered

in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder

is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earlier

of (i) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company (if applicable) and (ii) the number

of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period, in each case (i) or (ii), after the delivery to the Company of the Notice

of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall

be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has

been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other

than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by the Warrant Share Delivery Date. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver

to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder,

in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of

the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third

Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares

are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program

so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the

standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common

Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

4

ii.   Delivery

of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and

upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing

the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects

be identical with this Warrant.

iii.   Rescission

Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by

the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

iv.   Compensation

for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if

the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above

pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase

(in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver

in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”),

then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price

(including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying

(1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue

times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the

Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in

which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been

issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common

Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with

an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence

the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable

to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit

a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree

of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock

upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

5

v.    No

Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this

Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall,

at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the

Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

vi.   Charges,

Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental

expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant

Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however,

that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for

exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as

a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all

Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another

established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

vii.  Closing

of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,

pursuant to the terms hereof.

6

e)            Holder’s

Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise

any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise

as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting

as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)),

would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence,

the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number

of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude

the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant

beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised

or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject

to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its

Affiliates or Attribution Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial

ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated

thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance

with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance

therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant

is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which

portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall

be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the

Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject

to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of

the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the

number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the

Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement

by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common

Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in

writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common

Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the

Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be [4.99%/9.99%] of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding

immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice

to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial

Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect

to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall

continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after

such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than

in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective

or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable

to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

7

Section 3.       Certain

Adjustments.

a)     Stock

Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes

a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of

Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this

Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way

of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of

shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction

of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before

such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the

number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this

Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the

record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately

after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b)     Reserved.

c)     Subsequent

Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues

or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders

of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the

terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the

number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof,

including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant,

issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common

Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent

that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership

Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such

shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance

for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

8

d)       Pro

Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution

of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including,

without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification,

corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after

the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent

that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise

of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)

immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the

record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however,

that, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial

Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership

of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance

for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership

Limitation). To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion

of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant.

9

e)      Fundamental

Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related

transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary,

directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially

all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange

offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender

or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding

shares of Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification,

reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively

converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related

transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization,

recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group

acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any

subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable

upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to

any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring

corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”)

receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable

immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this

Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such

Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental

Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the

relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities,

cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration

it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in

a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all

of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant

to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay)

prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security

of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable

for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common

Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior

to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock

(but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such

shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic

value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in

form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and

be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction

Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power

of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the

same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

10

f)      Calculations.

All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For

purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be

the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

g)      Notice

to Holder.

i.       Adjustment

to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly

deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number

of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii.       Notice

to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the

Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the

Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of

capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection

with any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially

all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or

(E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company,

then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the

Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice

stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants,

or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions,

redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,

transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common

Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon

such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any

defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.

To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company

or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date

of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

11

Section 4.       Transfer

of Warrant.

a)       Transferability.

Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions

of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration

rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated

agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its

agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if

required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable,

and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing

the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,

the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full,

in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder

delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may

be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

b)       New

Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company,

together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or

its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination,

the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance

with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be

identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

c)       Warrant

Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant

Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder

of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other

purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

12

d)       Transfer

Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this

Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable

state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information

requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee

of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.

e)       Representation

by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise

hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or

reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant

to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

Section 5.    Miscellaneous.

a)    No

Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends

or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly

set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant

to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in

no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

b)    Loss,

Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory

to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case

of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include

the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make

and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

c)    Saturdays,

Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or

granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading

Day.

d)    Authorized

Shares.

The Company covenants

that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number

of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further

covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the

necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action

as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation,

or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares

which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented

by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable

and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any

transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

13

Except and to the

extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate

of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or

any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all

times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate

to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the

Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately

prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly

and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable

efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may

be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

Before taking any

action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price,

the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory

body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

e)            Jurisdiction

All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance

with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

f)            Restrictions.

The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not

utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

14

g)            Nonwaiver

and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as

a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this

Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results

in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and

expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder

in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

h)            Notices.

Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in

accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

i)            Limitation

of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant

Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase

price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the

Company.

j)            Remedies.

The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific

performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss

incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any

action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

k)            Successors

and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the

benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.

The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable

by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

l)            Amendment.

This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

m)            Severability.

Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,

but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the

extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

15

n)            Headings.

The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Acurx Pharmaceuticals,

Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and

Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a Prospectus Supplement, dated April 15, 2026, to a Prospectus, dated January

6, 2026 (the “Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement”), filed pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3, Registration

No. 333-288595 (the “Registration Statement”) and filed by the Company with the Commission under the Securities Act

of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Prospectus Supplement relates to the sale of (a) 816,068 shares (the

“Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and

(b) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 9,017 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant

Shares” and collectively with the Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Securities”), pursuant to a Securities

Purchase Agreement, dated April 15, 2026, between the Company and the purchasers named therein (the “Purchase Agreement”).

The form of Purchase Agreement will be filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into the Registration

Statement. This opinion is being rendered in connection with the filing of the Prospectus Supplement with the Commission. All capitalized

terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Registration Statement.

In connection with this opinion, we have (i) examined

and relied upon: (A) the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, (B) the form of Pre-Funded Warrant to be

filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, (C) the Company’s

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as currently in effect, and (D) the originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of such

records, documents, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render

the opinion expressed below; and (ii) assumed that the Securities to be sold by the Company will be sold at a price and on terms established

by the Board of Directors of the Company or a duly constituted pricing committee thereof in accordance with Section 153 of the Delaware

General Corporation Law. As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon a certificate of an officer of the Company and have not independently

verified such matters. In rendering this opinion, we have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on signed documents;

the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies;

the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials; and the due authorization, execution and delivery of

all documents where due authorization, execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof (except we have not made

such assumption with respect to the Company).

Our opinion is limited to the General Corporation

Law of the State of Delaware and, as to the Pre-Funded Warrants constituting valid and binding obligations of the Company, the laws of

the State of New York, and we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction. No opinion is expressed herein with

respect to the qualification of the Securities under the securities or blue sky laws of any state or any foreign jurisdiction.

With regard to our opinion concerning the Pre-Funded Warrants constituting

valid and binding obligations of the Company:

(i) Our opinion is subject to, and may

be limited by, (a) applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, debtor and creditor, and similar

laws which relate to or affect creditors’ rights generally, and (b) general principles of equity (including, without limitation,

concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing) regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at

law.

(ii) Our opinion is subject to the qualification

that the availability of specific performance, an injunction or other equitable remedies is subject to the discretion of the court before

which the request is brought.

(iii) We express no opinion as to any

provision of the Pre-Funded Warrants that: (a) provides for liquidated damages, buy-in damages, monetary penalties, prepayment or make-whole

payments or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions may constitute unlawful penalties, (b) relates to advance waivers of

claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitations, trial

by jury, or procedural rights, (c) restricts non-written modifications and waivers, (d) provides for the payment of legal and other professional

fees where such payment is contrary to law or public policy, (e) relates to exclusivity, election or accumulation of rights or remedies,

or (f) provides that provisions of the Pre-Funded Warrants are severable to the extent an essential part of the agreed exchange is determined

to be invalid and unenforceable.

(iv) We express no opinion as to whether

a state court outside of the State of New York or a federal court of the United States would give effect to the choice of New York law

provided for in the Pre-Funded Warrants.

With respect to the Warrant Shares, we express

no opinion to the extent that, notwithstanding its current reservation of shares of Common Stock, future issuances of securities, including

the Warrant Shares, of the Company and/or adjustments to outstanding securities, including the Pre-Funded Warrants, of the Company may

cause the Pre-Funded Warrants to be exercisable for more shares of Common Stock than the number that remain authorized but unissued. Further,

we have assumed the Exercise Price (as defined in the Pre-Funded Warrants) will not be adjusted to an amount below the par value per share

of the Common Stock.

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance

thereon, we are of the opinion that (i) the Shares, when sold and issued in accordance with the Registration Statement, the Prospectus

and the Prospectus Supplement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (ii) provided that the Pre-Funded Warrants have been

duly executed and delivered by the Company and duly delivered to the purchasers thereof against payment therefor, the Pre-Funded Warrants,

when sold and issued as contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, will be valid and binding

obligations of the Company, and (iii) the Warrant Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants,

will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion

as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities

Act and to the use of this Firm’s name therein and in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Legal Matters.” In

giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities

Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C.

On the Closing Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to sell, and the Purchasers, severally

and not jointly, agree to purchase, an aggregate of approximately $2.5 million of Shares and Common Warrants; provided, however, that

to the extent that a Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that such Purchaser (together with such Purchaser’s Affiliates,

by so indicating such election prior to their issuance, to purchase Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu of Shares in such manner to result in

the same aggregate purchase price being paid by such Purchaser to the Company. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”

shall be 4.99% (or, with respect to each Purchaser, at the election of such Purchaser at Closing, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the

Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Shares on the Closing Date. In each case, the election

to receive Pre-Funded Warrants is solely at the option of the Purchaser. Each Purchaser’s Subscription Amount as set forth on the

signature page hereto executed by such Purchaser shall be made available for “Delivery Versus Payment” (“DVP”)

settlement with the Company or its designee. The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser its respective Shares and a Common Warrant (and,

if applicable, a Pre-Funded Warrant) as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(a), and the Company and each Purchaser shall deliver the

other items set forth in Section 2.2 deliverable at the Closing. Upon satisfaction of the covenants and conditions set forth in Sections

2.2 and 2.3, the Closing shall occur at the offices of Company Counsel or such other location (including remotely by electronic transmission)

or as the Company and the Placement Agent shall mutually agree. Unless otherwise directed by the Placement Agent, settlement of the Shares

shall occur via DVP (i.e., on the Closing Date, the Company shall issue the Shares registered in the Purchasers’ names and addresses

and released by the Transfer Agent directly to the account(s) at the Placement Agent identified by each Purchaser; upon receipt of

such Shares, the Placement Agent shall promptly electronically deliver such Shares to the applicable Purchaser, and payment therefor shall

be made by the Placement Agent (or its clearing firm) by wire transfer to the Company). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,

if at any time on or after the time of execution of this Agreement by the Company and an applicable Purchaser, through, and including

the time immediately prior to the Closing (the “Pre-Settlement Period”), such Purchaser sells to any Person all, or

any portion, of the Shares to be issued hereunder to such Purchaser at the Closing (collectively, the “Pre-Settlement Shares”),

such Purchaser shall, automatically hereunder (without any additional required actions by such Purchaser or the Company), be deemed to

be unconditionally bound to purchase, and the Company shall be deemed unconditionally bound to sell, such Pre-Settlement Shares to such

Purchaser at the Closing; provided, that the Company shall not be required to deliver any Pre-Settlement Shares to such Purchaser prior

to the Company’s receipt of the purchase price of such Pre-Settlement Shares hereunder; and provided further that the Company hereby

acknowledges and agrees that the forgoing shall not constitute a representation or covenant by such Purchaser as to whether or not during

the Pre-Settlement Period such Purchaser shall sell any shares of Common Stock to any Person and that any such decision to sell any shares

of Common Stock by such Purchaser shall solely be made at the time such Purchaser elects to effect any such sale, if any.

with respect to any Notice(s) of Exercise (as defined in the Pre-Funded Warrants) delivered on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York

All of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company are set forth in the SEC Reports. The Company owns, directly or indirectly,

all of the capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary free and clear of any Liens, and all of the issued and outstanding

shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights

violation nor default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational

or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign

corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification

necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected

to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a

material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company

and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, 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), a “Material Adverse

Effect”) and no Proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke,

limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.

transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been 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 herewith or therewith other

than in connection with the Required Approvals. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party has been (or

upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute

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.

(d)             No

Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it

is a party, the issuance and sale of the Securities and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do

not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles

property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such

as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

11

pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents

or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional

shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or capital stock of any Subsidiary. The issuance and sale of the Securities will not

obligate the Company or any Subsidiary to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers).

There are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any Subsidiary with any provision that adjusts the exercise, conversion,

exchange or reset price of such security or instrument upon an issuance of securities by the Company or any Subsidiary. There are no outstanding

Changes; Undisclosed Events, Liabilities or Developments. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within

SEC Reports, no event, liability, fact, circumstance, occurrence or development has occurred or exists or is reasonably expected to occur

or exist with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, prospects, properties, operations, assets or

financial condition that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws at the time this representation

Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, there is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending or,

decision, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any director

or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities

laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated,

any investigation by the Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer of the Company. The Commission

has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary

under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.

to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement

or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued

employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any

of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and

regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the

failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement

or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default

or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree or order of any court, arbitrator or other governmental

authority or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority, including

product quality and safety and employment and labor matters, except in each case as could not have or reasonably be expected to result

in a Material Adverse Effect.

15

(m)            Environmental

Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance

with all federal, state, local and foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including ambient

air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened

releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”)

into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport

or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands, or demand letters, injunctions, judgments,

licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations, issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder (“Environmental

Laws”); (ii) have received all permits licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws

to conduct their respective businesses; and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or

approval where in each clause (i), (ii) and (iii), the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually or

in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(n)            Regulatory

Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,

state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except

where the failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material

Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification

of any Material Permit.

(o)            Title

to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them and good

and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each

case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially

interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries, and (ii) Liens for the

payment of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in accordance with GAAP and, the payment

of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries

are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance.

(p)            Intellectual

Property. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications,

service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights

necessary or required for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure to

so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). None of, and neither

the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired,

terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC

Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the

rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the

Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual

Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and

value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has no knowledge of any facts that would preclude it from having valid license

rights or clear title to the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company has no knowledge that it lacks or will be unable to obtain any

rights or licenses to use all Intellectual Property Rights that are necessary to conduct its business.

16

(q)             Insurance.

The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such

amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including, but not limited

to, directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the aggregate Subscription Amount. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary

has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain

similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in cost.

Act of 2002, as amended, that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, and any and all applicable rules and

regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. The Company

and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions

are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary

the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by

the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented

in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of

that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company

and its Subsidiaries.

from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance

with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company is, and has no

any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar

anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state

of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations

or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of

the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.

(y)            Disclosure.

Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms

that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information

that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information which is not otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement.

The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities

of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries,

their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of

a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances

under which they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date

of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to

be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made and

when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties with

respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

(z)            No

Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2,

neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers

or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities

to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would require the registration

of the Common Warrants or Common Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions

of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.

19

(aa)           Solvency.

Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company

of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the

amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known

contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on

its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements

of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the

current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after

taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when

such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking

into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or

circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws

of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. The SEC Reports set forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and

unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes

of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000

(other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent

obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated

balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar

transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases

required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material

Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local income and

all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has

paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns,

reports and declarations and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all material taxes

for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material

amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no

basis for any such claim.

20

(cc)           Foreign

Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any agent or other

(ee)           Acknowledgment

Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely

in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby.

The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity)

with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their

respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely

incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s

decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions

contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified

term; (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales

impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities; (iii) any Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative”

transactions to which any such Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the

Common Stock, and (iv) each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party

in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers

may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation,

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

hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders' equity interests in the Company at and after the time

that the hedging activities are being conducted.  The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute

a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate of the Placement Agent has provided such Purchaser with any information or advice with respect

to the Securities nor is such information or advice necessary or desired.  Neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate has made

or makes any representation as to the Company or the quality of the Securities and the Placement Agent and any Affiliate may have acquired

non-public information with respect to the Company which such Purchaser agrees need not be provided to it.  In connection with the

issuance of the Securities to such Purchaser, neither the Placement Agent nor any of its Affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or

fiduciary to such Purchaser.

(f)            Certain

Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has

any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or

sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first

received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms

of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the

case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s

assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions

of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by

the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons

party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners,

legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made

to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for

the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect

to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

27

(g)            General

Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication

regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any

seminar or, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

The Company acknowledges

and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right

to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained

in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the

consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein

shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect

Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

ARTICLE IV.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1            Removal

of Legends.

(a)            The

Common Warrants and Common Warrant Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection

with any transfer of Common Warrants or Common Warrant Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144,

to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may

require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company 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 Warrant under the Securities Act.

(b)            The

Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Common Warrants or Common

Warrant Shares in the following form:

NEITHER THIS SECURITY

NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES

COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES

ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES

ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT

AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE

PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT

IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

28

The Company acknowledges

and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant

a security interest in some or all of the Common Warrants or Common Warrant Shares to a financial institution that is an “accredited

investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such

Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Common Warrants or Common Warrant Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or

transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor

shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense,

the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Common Warrants and Common Warrant

Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Common Warrants or Common Warrant Shares.

(c)            Certificates

evidencing the Common Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof):

(i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following

any sale of such Common Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Common Warrants), or (iii) if

such Common Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Common Warrants), or (iv) if

such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements

issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser

promptly if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a Purchaser, respectively.

If all or any portion of a Common Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale

of the Common Warrant Shares, or if such Common Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Common

Warrants) 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 Common Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company

agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), the Company will, no later than the

earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined

below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Common Warrant Shares,

as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such date, 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. The Company may not make

any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.

Common Warrant Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the

account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser. As used herein,

“Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s

primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing Common Warrant

Shares issued with a restrictive legend.

29

(d)            In

addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated

damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Common Warrant Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities

are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading

Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day three (3) Trading Days after the Legend Removal Date) for each Trading Day after the Legend

Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or

cause to be delivered) to a Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Common Warrant Shares so delivered to

the Company by such Purchaser that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date such Purchaser

purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of

all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion

of the number of shares of Common Stock, that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then

an amount equal to the excess of such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket

expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any)

(the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of Common Warrant Shares that the Company was required

to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any

Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Purchaser to the Company of the applicable Common Warrant

Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this Section 4.1(d).

(e)            The

Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares shall be issued free of legends. If all or any portion of a Pre-Funded

Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the issuance or resale of the Pre-Funded Warrant

Shares or if the Pre-Funded Warrant is exercised via cashless exercise, the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares issued pursuant to any such exercise

shall be issued free of all legends. If at any time following the date hereof the Registration Statement (or any subsequent registration

statement registering the sale or resale of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares) is not effective or is not otherwise available for the sale

or resale of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the Company shall immediately notify the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants in writing that

such registration statement is not then effective and thereafter shall promptly notify such holders when the registration statement is

effective again and available for the sale or resale of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing

shall not limit the ability of the Company to issue, or any Purchaser to sell, any of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares in compliance with

applicable federal and state securities laws). The Company shall use best efforts to keep a registration statement (including the Registration

Statement) registering the issuance or resale of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares effective during the term of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

30

4.2            Furnishing

of Information.

(a) Until the earlier of

the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities and (ii) the Common Warrants have expired, the Company covenants to timely file

(or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company

after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange

Act.

(b) At any time during the

period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all of the Common Warrant Shares

(assuming cashless exercise) may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and

otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company (i) shall fail for any reason to satisfy the

current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or

becomes an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Public

Information Failure”) then, in addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser,

in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Common

Warrant Shares, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Exercise Price of such Purchaser’s Common Warrants

on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter

until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is

no longer required for the Purchasers to transfer the Common Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a Purchaser

shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.”

Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public

Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public

Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner,

such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in

full. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and such Purchaser

shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance

and/or injunctive relief.

4.3            Integration.

The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2

of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration

under the Securities Act of the sale of the Common Warrants or Common Warrant Shares or that would be integrated with the offer or sale

of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval

prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

31

4.4            Securities

Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall (a) by the Disclosure Time, issue a press release disclosing the material terms

of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits

thereto, with the Commission within the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of such press release, the Company

represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers

by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents, including,

without limitation, the Placement Agent, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective

upon the issuance of such press release, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under

any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees,

Affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates

on the other hand, shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall

be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult

with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor

any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company,

with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release

of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case

the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding

the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with

the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required

by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) to the extent

such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice

of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b) and reasonably cooperate with such Purchaser regarding such disclosure.

4.5            Shareholder

Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser

is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution

under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser

could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents

or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.

32

4.6            Non-Public

Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,

which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on

its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes

constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have consented in writing to the receipt of such

information and agreed in writing with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each

Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company,

any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates delivers any material, non-public

information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not

have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates

or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective

officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, not to trade on the basis of,

such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice

provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any

Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously with the delivery of such notice file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current

Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting

transactions in securities of the Company.

4.7            Use

of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital and general corporate

purposes and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment

of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), (b) for the redemption of any Common

Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC

regulations.

33

4.8            Indemnification

of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors,

officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person

holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning

of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents,

members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding

a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any

and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in

settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur

as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company

in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity,

or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with

respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is solely based upon a material breach

of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings

such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws

or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct),

or (c) in connection with any registration statement of the Company providing for the resale by the Purchasers of the Common Warrant

Shares issued and issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants, the Company will indemnify each Purchaser Party, to the fullest extent

permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation,

reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement

of a material fact contained in such registration statement, any prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement

thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required

to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of

the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements

or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Purchaser Party furnished in writing to the Company by such Purchaser Party

expressly for use therein, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any

state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder in connection therewith. If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser

Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in

writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to

the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense

thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (x) the

employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (y) the Company has failed after a reasonable period

of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (z) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material

conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company

shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to

any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (1) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written

consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (2) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage

or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements

made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.8

shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received

or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser

Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

34

4.9            Reservation

of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all

times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares

pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.

4.10            Listing

of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading

Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all of the Shares

and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market.

The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in

such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and

Pre-Funded Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all

action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects

with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees

to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing

corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing

corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

35

4.11            Reserved.

4.12            Subsequent

Equity Sales.

(a)             From

the date hereof until fifteen (15) days following the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (i) issue, enter

into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or

(ii) file any registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto, other than (w) any prospectus or prospectus supplement,

or any amendment or supplement thereto in connection with an at-the-market facility with the Placement Agent as the sales agent, (x) the

Prospectus Supplement, the filing of a registration statement or any amendment thereto with respect to the Common Warrant Shares, or (y) a

registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with any employee benefit plan.

(b)             From

the date hereof until the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering

into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination

of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the

Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include

the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other

price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial

issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at

some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly

or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction

under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit or an “at-the-market” facility”, whereby

the Company may issue securities at a future determined price regardless of whether shares pursuant to such agreement have actually been

issued and regardless of whether such agreement is subsequently canceled; provided, however, that, following the expiration of the restrictive

period set forth in Section 4.12(a) above, (i) the entry into and/or issuance of shares of Common Stock in an “at-the-market”

facility with the Placement Agent as sales agent shall not be deemed a Variable Rate Transaction, and/or (ii) the Company may enter

into, or effect a transaction under, an equity line of credit. For the avoidance of doubt, following the expiration of the restrictive

period set forth in Section 4.12(a) above, the Lincoln Park Agreement and any issuances, sales or other transactions thereunder

shall not constitute a Variable Rate Transaction and shall be permitted hereunder. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive

relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.

36

(c)             Notwithstanding

the foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall

be an Exempt Issuance.

4.13            Equal

Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of this Agreement) shall be offered or paid to any Person to

amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration is also offered to all of

the parties to this Agreement. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the

Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not

in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities

or otherwise.

4.14            Certain

Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor

any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales

of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that

the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4.

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated

by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser

will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction (other than as disclosed to its legal and other representatives).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary,

the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it

will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted

or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and

after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release

as described in Section 4.4 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities

of the Company to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agent,

including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.4.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio

managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment

decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall

only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities

covered by this Agreement.

Changes. Until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification

of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority in interest of the Securities other than a

reverse stock split that is required, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors, to maintain the listing of the Common

Stock on the Trading Market.

4.16            Exercise

Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers

in order to exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers

to exercise their Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall

any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required in order to exercise the

Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions

and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

4.17            Lock-Up

Agreements. The Company shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any of the Lock-Up Agreements except to extend

the term of the lock-up period and shall enforce the provisions of each Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with its terms. If any party to

a Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Lock-Up Agreement, the Company shall promptly use its best efforts to seek specific performance

of the terms of such Lock-Up Agreement.

4.18            Form D;

Blue Sky Filings. If applicable, the Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Common Warrant and Common Warrant

Shares as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such

action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Common Warrant and

Common Warrant Shares for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states

of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

4.19            Registration

Statement. As soon as practicable (and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of this Agreement), the Company shall

file a registration statement on Form S-1 providing for the resale by the Purchasers of the Common Warrant Shares issued and issuable

upon exercise of the Common Warrants. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become

effective (the “Effective Date”) within sixty (60) calendar days following the date of this Agreement (or within ninety

(90) calendar days following the date of this Agreement in case of “full review” of such registration statement by the Commission)

and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until no Purchaser owns any Common Warrants or Common Warrant Shares issuable

upon exercise thereof.

MISCELLANEOUS

5.1            Termination.

This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever

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

on or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date hereof; provided, however, that no such termination

will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).

5.2            Fees

and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses

of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation,

preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees (including, without

limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any exercise notice delivered

by a Purchaser), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.

5.3            Entire

Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement,

contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements

and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents,

exhibits and schedules.

5.4            Notices.

Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall

be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via

email attachment at the email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York

City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered

Report on Form 8-K.

5.5            Amendments;

Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in

the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchasers which purchased at least 50.1% in interest of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants

based on the initial Subscription Amounts hereunder (or, prior to the Closing, the Company and each Purchaser) or, in the case of a waiver,

by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought, provided that if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately

and adversely impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of at least 50.1% in interest of such disproportionately impacted

Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) shall also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement

of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other

provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner

impair the exercise of any such right. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the

rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior

written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding

upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities and the Company.

39

5.6            Headings.

The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any

of the provisions hereof.

5.7            Successors

and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other

transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by

the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”

5.8            No

Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Placement Agent shall be the third-party beneficiary of the representations, warranties and covenants

of the Company in this Agreement and the representations, warranties and covenants of the Purchasers in this Agreement. This Agreement

is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of,

nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.8 and this Section 5.8.

5.9            Governing

Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed

by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts

of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions

contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates,

directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts

sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting

in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction

contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably

waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such

court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives

personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered

or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this

Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein

shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action

or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.8,

the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’

fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.

40

5.10            Survival.

The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.

5.11            Execution.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement

and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that

the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery (including any electronic

signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act

or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method, such signature shall be deemed to have been duly and validly

delivered and shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with

the same force and effect as if such “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

5.12            Severability.

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,

void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force

and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts

to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,

covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining

terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

5.13            Rescission

and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of

the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and

the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw,

in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part

without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that in the case of a rescission of an exercise of

a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded exercise notice

concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration

of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement

warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

41

5.14            Replacement

of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall

issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of

and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of

such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable

third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

5.15            Remedies.

In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers

and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may

not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby

agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would

be adequate.

5.16            Payment

Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser

enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part

thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required

to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without

limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration

the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such

payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

5.17            Independent

Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and

not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance

of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document,

and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association,

a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group

with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently

protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction

Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.

Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For

reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through

the legal counsel of the Placement Agent. The legal counsel of the Placement Agent does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents

the Placement Agent. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience

of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that

each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and

not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

42

5.18            Liquidated

Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents

is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been

paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due

and payable shall have been canceled.

5.19            Saturdays,

Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for

the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may

be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

5.20            Construction.

The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents

and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party

shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference

to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits,

stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.

5.21            WAIVER

OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES

EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY

AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

Exhibit 99.1

Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces up to

$7.1 Million Registered Direct Offering Priced At-The-Market Under Nasdaq Rules

$2.5 million upfront with up to an additional

$4.6 million of potential aggregate gross proceeds upon the exercise in full of short-term warrants

Staten Island, NY, April 16, 2026 — Acurx

Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACXP) (“we” or “Acurx” or the “Company”), a late-stage biopharmaceutical

company developing a new class of antibiotics for difficult-to-treat bacterial infections, today announced that it has entered into a

definitive agreement for the purchase and sale of an aggregate of 825,085 shares of its common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof)

at a purchase price of $3.03 per share (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) in a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under

Nasdaq rules. In addition, in a concurrent private placement, the Company will issue unregistered short-term warrants to purchase up to

1,650,170 shares of common stock. The short-term warrants will have an exercise price of $2.78 per share, will be immediately exercisable

upon issuance and will expire twenty-four months following the effective date of the registration statement registering the resale of

the shares of common stock underlying the short-term warrants. The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about April 16,

2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

H.C. Wainwright & Co. is acting as the exclusive

placement agent for the offering.

The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from

the offering are expected to be approximately $2.5 million, before deducting the placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable

by the Company. The potential additional gross proceeds to the Company from the unregistered short-term warrants, if fully-exercised on

a cash basis, will be approximately $4.6 million. No assurance can be given that any of such short-term warrants will be exercised. The

Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The shares of common stock (or pre-funded warrants)

(but not the short-term warrants issued in the private placement or the shares of common stock underlying such short-term warrants) are

being offered by the Company pursuant to a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-288595) filed with the

Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 9, 2025, and became effective on January 6, 2026. The registered direct

offering of the shares of common stock (or pre-funded warrants) is being made only by means of a prospectus, including a prospectus supplement,

forming a part of the effective registration statement. The prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to the securities

being offered in the registered direct offering will be filed with the SEC and be available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Electronic

copies of the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to the registered direct offering may also be obtained,

when available, by contacting H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC at 430 Park Avenue, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10022, by telephone at (212)

856-5711 or e-mail at placements@hcwco.com.

The short-term warrants described above are being

issued in a concurrent private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),

and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and, along with the shares of common stock underlying the short-term warrants, have not been registered

under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the short-term warrants and underlying shares of common stock

may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from

the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer

to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities

in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under

the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

About Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Acurx Pharmaceuticals is a late-stage biopharmaceutical

company focused on developing a new class of small molecule antibiotics for difficult-to-treat bacterial infections. The Company's approach

is to develop antibiotic candidates with a Gram-positive selective spectrum (GPSS®) that blocks the active site of the Gram+ specific

bacterial enzyme DNA polymerase IIIC (pol IIIC), inhibiting DNA replication and leading to Gram-positive bacterial cell death. Its R&D

pipeline includes antibiotic product candidates that target Gram-positive bacteria, including Clostridioides difficile, methicillin- resistant

Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin resistant Enterococcus (VRE), drug- resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (DRSP) and B. anthracis

(anthrax; a Bioterrorism Category A Threat-Level pathogen).

Acurx's lead product candidate, ibezapolstat,

for the treatment of C. difficile Infection (CDI) is Phase 3 ready to advance to international clinical trials subject to obtaining appropriate

financing. The Company recently announced the launch of a ground-breaking clinical trial with ibezapolstat in patients with multiply-recurrent

CDI (rCDI) that has the potential to shift the paradigm of treatment and prevention of rCDI from two agents to one. This new clinical

trial in rCDI begins with an open-label pilot trial to gain experience with IBZ in patients with multiply-recurrent CDI with at least

3 episodes of CDI within the past 12 months. This will inform elements of a planned active-controlled, Phase 3 registration trial in the

rCDI indication to be implemented following favorable results from the open-label 20 patient trial. Upon subsequent successful completion

of the Ph3 pivotal rCDI trial, and per the operative FDA procedure, Acurx plans to request FDA approval for treatment and prevention of

rCDI under the FDA's Limited Population Pathway for Antibacterial and Antifungal Drugs (Guidance for Industry, 2020).

The Company's preclinical pipeline includes development

of an oral product candidate for treatment of ABSSSI (Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections), upon which a development program

for treatment of inhaled anthrax is being planned in parallel.
