Merger
Agreement
On
March 26, 2026, Pulmatrix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pulmatrix” or the “Company”),
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Pulmatrix,
PUOS Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pulmatrix (“Merger Sub”) and
Eos SENOLYTIX, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Eos”), pursuant to which, and subject to the satisfaction or
waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, among other things, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Eos, with Eos
continuing as the surviving corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Pulmatrix (the “Merger”). The Merger
is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Subject
to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time (the “Effective Time”), (A) each
then-outstanding share of Eos common stock or preferred stock (collectively, the “Eos Capital Stock”) will
be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Pulmatrix common stock calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement
(the “Exchange Ratio”), (B) each Company Convertible Note (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that is outstanding
and unconverted as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares
of Pulmatrix common stock equal to (x) the number Eos Capital Stock that the holder of such Company Convertible Note would have been
entitled to had the Company Convertible Note converted into Eos Capital Stock prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Exchange
Ratio, (C) each Investor Financing Warrant (as defined in the Merger Agreement), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and
unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be converted into and become a warrant to purchase Pulmatrix common stock and
may be exercised for such number of shares of Pulmatrix common stock calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement,
(D) each option or other right to purchase Eos Capital Stock, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time, shall be converted into an option to purchase shares of Pulmatrix common stock, and may be exercised for such number
of shares of Pulmatrix common stock calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, and (E) the CEO RSUs (as defined
in the Merger Agreement), whether vested or unvested, that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be converted
into and become the appropriate options, restricted stock units, restricted stock, stock appreciation right, or other similar right to
purchase, acquire or obtain (as applicable) Pulmatrix common stock and may be exercised for such number of shares of Pulmatrix common
stock calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
Under
the Exchange Ratio formula set forth in the Merger Agreement, upon the closing of the merger (the “Closing”),
on a pro forma basis and based upon the number of shares of Pulmatrix common stock expected to be issued in the Merger, pre-Merger
Eos stockholders, including investors participating in the financings and holders of shares issued in payment of placement agent and
M&A advisory fees will own approximately 94% of the combined company and Pulmatrix stockholders will own approximately 6% of
the combined company on a fully-diluted basis (excluding any shares reserved for future grants under Pulmatrix’s equity incentive
plans).
In
connection with the Merger, Pulmatrix will seek the approval of its stockholders to, among other things, (a) issue the shares of Pulmatrix
common stock issuable in connection with the Merger pursuant to the rules of Nasdaq, (b) amend its amended and restated certificate of
incorporation to change Pulmatrix’s name to “Eos SENOLYTIX, Inc.”, and (c) effect a reverse stock split of Pulmatrix
common stock, to the extent applicable and deemed necessary by Pulmatrix and Eos (collectively, the “Pulmatrix Voting Proposals”
and such stockholder meeting, the “Pulmatrix Stockholder Meeting”). The Stockholder Meeting shall be held as
soon practicable after the date that the Registration Statement (as defined herein) is declared effective under the Securities Act, and
in any event, no later than 45 days after the effective date of the Registration Statement.
Each
of Pulmatrix and Eos has agreed to customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others,
covenants relating to (1) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite approval of their respective stockholders, (2)
non-solicitation of alternative acquisition proposals, (3) the conduct of their respective businesses during the period between the date
of signing the Merger Agreement and the Closing, (4) Pulmatrix using commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the existing listing
of Pulmatrix common stock on Nasdaq and cause the shares of Pulmatrix common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger to be approved
for listing on Nasdaq prior to the Closing and (5) Pulmatrix filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
and causing to become effective a registration statement on Form S-4 to register the shares of Pulmatrix common stock to be issued in
connection with the Merger (the “Registration Statement”).
Consummation
of the Merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other things, (1) approval by Pulmatrix stockholders of the
Pulmatrix Voting Proposals, (2) approval by the requisite Eos stockholders of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby, (3) Nasdaq’s approval of the listing of the shares of Pulmatrix common stock to be issued in
connection with the Merger, and (4) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Each party’s obligation to consummate the
Merger is also subject to other specified customary conditions, including regarding the accuracy of the representations and warranties
of the other party, subject to the applicable materiality standard, and the performance in all material respects by the other party of
its obligations under the Merger Agreement required to be performed on or prior to the date of the Closing.
The
Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights of each of Pulmatrix and Eos. At the Effective Time, the board of directors of Pulmatrix
is expected to consist of six members, one of which will be a director designated by Pulmatrix, and the remainder of which will be designated
by Eos.
Palladium
Capital Group, LLC served as Pulmatrix’s financial advisor in connection with the above transactions.
Support
Agreements and Lock-Up Agreements
Concurrently
and in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Senotherapeutix, Inc., sole holder of the issued and outstanding shares
of Eos Capital Stock has entered into a support agreement with Pulmatrix and Eos to vote all of its shares of Eos capital stock in favor
of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Eos Support Agreements”).
Concurrently
and in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Senotherapeutix, Inc. has entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up
Agreement”) pursuant to which, and subject to specified exceptions, Senotherapeutix, Inc. has agreed not to transfer their
shares of Pulmatrix common stock for the 180-day period following the Closing.
The
preceding summaries of the Merger Agreement, the Eos Support Agreements and the Lock-Up Agreements do not purport to be complete and
are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, the form of Eos Support Agreement, and the form of Lock-Up Agreement,
which are filed as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which are incorporated herein by
reference. The Merger Agreement has been attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide investors and securityholders
with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Pulmatrix or Eos or to modify
or supplement any factual disclosures about Pulmatrix in its public reports filed with the SEC. The Merger Agreement includes representations,
warranties and covenants of Pulmatrix, Eos, and Merger Sub made solely for the purpose of the Merger Agreement and solely for the benefit
of the parties thereto in connection with the negotiated terms of the Merger Agreement. Investors should not rely on the representations,
warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions
of Pulmatrix, Eos or any of their respective affiliates. Moreover, certain of those representations and warranties may not be accurate
or complete as of any specified date, may be modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules which are not filed publicly,
may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to SEC filings or may have been used
for purposes of allocating risk among the parties to the Merger Agreement, rather than establishing matters of fact.
Pulmatrix
Securities Purchase Agreement and Voting Agreement
In
connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, Pulmatrix entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Pulmatrix
Purchase Agreement”), dated as of March 26, 2026, with an affiliate of Eos (the “Buyer”),
pursuant to which Pulmatrix agreed to sell to the Buyer an aggregate of 1,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), with a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Stated
Value”) and a conversion price of $2.20 per share (the “Pulmatrix Financing”). The closing of
the Pulmatrix Financing is expected to occur as soon as practicable and subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The aggregate gross proceeds from the Pulmatrix Financing are expected to be $1,000,000 and Pulmatrix has agreed that prior to the date
of the consummation of the Merger, Pulmatrix shall be permitted to use up to $250,000 of the net proceeds for working capital and other
general corporate purposes and shall not use the remainder of the net proceeds, subject to certain exceptions. Pursuant to the terms
of the Pulmatrix Purchase Agreement, Pulmatrix has agreed to file as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event, 60 days following
the closing date of the Pulmatrix Financing, a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of Pulmatrix common stock
issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.
In
connection with the Pulmatrix Financing, the Company and the Buyer entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”),
pursuant to which the Buyer has agreed to vote, at any annual or special meeting of Pulmatrix called with respect to matters the Board
of Directors of Pulmatrix has recommended the stockholders of Pulmatrix to vote in favor of, including but not limited to, any
matters as related to the Pulmatrix Voting Proposals to be put forth at the Stockholder Meeting, and at every adjournment or postponement
thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent or consents of the Company stockholders with respect to such matter, to vote
or cause the holder of record to vote its shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or any shares of Pulmatrix common stock, in favor of providing
the requisite stockholder approval. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, the Buyer has agreed that for a period
commencing upon the execution of the Pulmatrix Purchase Agreement and ending at the date of termination of the Voting Agreement, the
Buyer will not, directly or indirectly transfer, sell, offer, exchange, assign, pledge, convey any legal or beneficial ownership interest
in or otherwise dispose of (by merger (including by conversion into securities or other consideration), by tendering into any tender
or exchange offer), or encumber any of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock or shares of Pulmatrix common stock, or enter into any
contract, option, or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a transfer of, any such shares or the Buyers voting or economic
interest.
The
foregoing description of the Pulmatrix Purchase Agreement and Voting Agreement do not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4, respectively,
to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock
The
terms of the Series B Preferred Stock are as set forth in the form of Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations
of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”), attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1
to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware on March 26, 2026, prior to
the closing of the Pulmatrix Financing. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into the shares of Pulmatrix common stock at the
election of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Holders”) at any time at an initial conversion
price of $2.20 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments
for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, stock combinations and the like (subject to certain exceptions).
Dividends.
Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate per share (as a percentage of the
Stated Value per share) of 8% per annum, payable on each Conversion Date (with respect only to Preferred Stock being converted) in duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect in accordance
with the terms of the Certificate of Designations.
Voting.
The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote upon, in the same manner and with the same effect as the holders
of Pulmatrix common stock, voting together with the holders of Pulmatrix common stock as a single class. Subject to the provisions of
the Certificate of Designations, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast that number of votes
per share of Series B Preferred Stock as is equal to the stated value of the Series B Preferred Stock, divided by the Conversion Price,
and subject to adjustments for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions.
As long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Holders
of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or
rights given to the Series B Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Certificate of Designations, (b) amend its certificate of incorporation
or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the Holders, (c) increase the number of authorized shares
of Series B Preferred Stock, or (d) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
Optional
and Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock, plus accrued and unpaid dividend thereon, shall be convertible, at any time
and from time to time from and after the date that is 90 days following the initial date of issuance (the “Original Issuance
Date”), into that number of shares of Pulmatrix common stock, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. Effective
as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the fifth business day after the date that is the earlier of (i) the one year anniversary from the Original
Issuance Date (ii) the closing date of the Merger, each share of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall automatically convert
into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), subject to certain
beneficial ownership limitations.
The
Pulmatrix Purchase Agreement and the Voting Agreement contain certain representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities customary
for similar transactions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Pulmatrix Purchase Agreement and the Voting
Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Pulmatrix Purchase Agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed
upon by the contracting parties. The Pulmatrix Financing is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant
to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule
506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. The Buyer has represented
to Pulmatrix that it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and that it is acquiring the securities
for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The Series
B Preferred Stock are being offered without any general solicitation by Pulmatrix or its representatives.
Eos
Securities Purchase Agreement
In
connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, Eos entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2026 (the
“Eos Purchase Agreement”), with an affiliate of Eos for the purchase and sale of certain convertible
promissory notes ( the “Eos Notes” and shares of Eos common stock for up to $18 million (the “Eos
Gross Proceeds”) in aggregate gross proceeds in several closings (the “Eos Financing”). Additionally,
Eos intends to initiate another private placement for further investment into Eos shortly after the signing of the Merger Agreement,
but in any event prior to the closing of the Merger, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement for the purchase of Series A Preferred
Stock of Eos (the “Series A Preferred Financing”).
At
the initial closing (the “Initial Closing”), each purchaser will deliver to Eos an aggregate of $2,500,000
for certain Initial Bridge Notes (the “Initial Bridge Notes”). Following the Initial Closing, the Company may
deliver written notice to the purchasers requiring such purchasers to fund certain Additional Bridge Notes if, prior to the date that
is three months following the Initial Closing, Eos has not received aggregate proceeds of $2,500,000 or more from any closings of the
Series A Preferred Financing (each, an “Additional Closing”). Upon receipt by the purchasers of written notice
from Eos that approval of the Merger Agreement has occurred, each purchaser shall fund its pro rata share of the Eos Gross Proceeds,
less the amounts funded in the Initial Closing and any Additional Closing; provided, however, that if, as of the date of such notice,
Eos has received aggregate proceeds from the Series A Preferred Financing equal to or greater than $15,500,000, the purchasers shall
have no obligation to fund any amounts pursuant to the terms of the Eos Purchase Agreement.
The
Eos Notes have a maturity date that is 18 months following the date of the issuance of the Initial Bridge Notes (the “Maturity
Date”) and accrue interest at a rate of 8%. In the event that the Merger has not been consummated prior to the Maturity
Date, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to convert the outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest
on the Eos Notes into shares of Eos common stock upon the earlier of: (a) the closing of an IPO; or (b) the closing of a Next Equity
Financing (as defined in the Eos Purchase Agreement). Eos may, in its sole discretion, prepay all (but not less than all) of the outstanding
principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on all outstanding Eos Notes, subject to proper notice. The Eos Notes contain certain
customary events of default, and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default, the outstanding principal balance
of the Eos Notes shall bear interest at a rate equal to 15% per annum.
Per
the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Eos Note that is outstanding and unconverted as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall
be converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of Pulmatrix common stock equal to (x) the number Eos Capital Stock
that the holder of such Eos Note would have been entitled to had the Eos Note converted into Eos Capital Stock prior to the Effective
Time, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio. The Eos Agreement and Eos Notes additionally contain certain customary representations, warranties
and covenants customary for transactions of such nature.

“predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions (including

transactions will be those that have been anticipated.
The
forward-looking statements contained in this communication are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments

consummation of the Merger and the ability of each of Pulmatrix and Eos to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger, risks
associated with Pulmatrix’s continued listing on Nasdaq until closing of the Merger, the failure or delay in obtaining required
approvals from any governmental or quasi-governmental entity necessary to consummate the Merger; the occurrence of any event, change
or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the Merger prior to the closing or consummation of the
Merger, risks associated with the possible failure to realize certain anticipated benefits of the Merger, including with respect to future

company’s ability to replicate in later clinical trials positive results found in preclinical studies and early-stage clinical
trials of its product candidates; the combined company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of its research and development

to clinical trial designs and regulatory pathways; competitive responses to the Merger and changes in expected or existing competition;
unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the Merger; potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting
from the completion of the Merger; legislative, regulatory, political and economic developments. A discussion of these and other factors,

Conversion of Company and Merger Sub Equity Securities.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any stockholder
of the Company or Parent:
(i)
any shares of Company Capital Stock held as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and
shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;
(ii)
subject to Section 2.5(c), each share of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding
(x) shares of Company Capital Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(i), and (y) Dissenting Shares) shall be converted
solely into the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio; and
(iii)
subject to Section 2.5(c), each Company Convertible Note that is outstanding and unconverted as of immediately prior to the Effective
Time shall be converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (x) the number of Company
Capital Stock that the holder of such Company Convertible Note would have been entitled to had the Company Convertible Note converted
into Company Capital Stock prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio.
18
(b)
If any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase
option or a risk of forfeiture under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other similar agreement with the Company,
then the shares of Parent Capital Stock issued in exchange for such shares of Company Capital Stock will to the same extent be unvested
and subject to the same repurchase option or risk of forfeiture, and such shares of Parent Capital Stock shall accordingly be marked
with appropriate legends. The Company shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time,
Parent is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase agreement or
other agreement.
(c)
No fractional shares of Parent Capital Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such

of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall receive from Parent,
in lieu of such fractional share and upon surrender by such holder of a letter of transmittal in accordance with Section 2.7(b)
and any accompanying documents as required therein: (i) one share of Parent Common Stock if the aggregate amount of fractional shares
of Parent Common Stock such holder of Company Capital Stock would otherwise be entitled to is equal to or exceeds 0.50; or (ii) no shares
of Parent Common Stock if the aggregate amount of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock such holder of Company Capital Stock would
otherwise be entitled to is less than 0.50, with no cash being paid for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding.
(d)
Each share of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, $0.001 par value per
share, of the Surviving Corporation. Each book entry share of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall, as of the Effective
Time, evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(e)
If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Company Capital Stock or Parent Capital Stock shall have
been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision,
reclassification, recapitalization, split (including the Nasdaq Reverse Split to the extent such split has not previously been taken
into account in calculating the Exchange Ratio), combination or exchange of shares or other like change, the Exchange Ratio shall, to
the extent necessary, be equitably adjusted to reflect such change to the extent necessary to provide the holders of Company Capital
Stock, Company Options and Parent Capital Stock with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock dividend,
subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares or other like change; provided, however,
that nothing herein will be construed to permit the Company or Parent to take any action with respect to Company Capital Stock or Parent
Capital Stock, respectively, that is prohibited or not expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
2.6
Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (a) all Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall be treated in accordance with Section 2.5(a), and all holders of certificates representing Company
Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company
and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such Company Capital Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective
Time.
19
2.7
Surrender of Company Capital Stock.
(a)
Prior to the Closing Date, Parent and the Company shall jointly select a reputable bank, transfer agent or trust company to act as exchange
agent in the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). At the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent evidence
of book-entry shares representing the shares of Parent Capital Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.5(a) in exchange for Company
Capital Stock.
(b)
Promptly after the Effective Time, the Parties shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the Persons who were record holders of shares
of Company Capital Stock that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary
form and containing such provisions as Parent may reasonably specify (including a provision confirming that delivery of physical stock
certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock (the “Company Stock Certificates”) shall be effected, and
risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon delivery of such Company Stock Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions
for effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates, or uncertificated shares of Company Capital Stock, in exchange for book-entry
shares of Parent Capital Stock. Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate or other reasonable evidence of the ownership of uncertificated
Company Capital Stock to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents
as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or Parent: (A) the holder of such Company Stock Certificate or uncertificated shares
of Company Capital Stock shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor book-entry shares representing the Merger Consideration (in
a number of whole shares of Parent Capital Stock) that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section
2.5(a) and Section 2.5(c) and (B) the Company Stock Certificate or uncertificated shares of Company Capital Stock so surrendered
shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.7(b), each Company Stock Certificate or uncertificated
shares of Company Capital Stock shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive book-entry
shares of Parent Capital Stock representing the Merger Consideration. If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of any shares of Parent Capital Stock, require
the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an applicable affidavit with respect to such Company
Stock Certificate and post a bond indemnifying Parent against any claim suffered by Parent related to the lost, stolen or destroyed Company
Stock Certificate or any Parent Capital Stock issued in exchange therefor as Parent may reasonably request.
(c)
No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Capital Stock with a record date after the Effective Time
shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Capital Stock that such
holder has the right to receive in the Merger until such holder surrenders such Company Stock Certificate or uncertificated shares of
Company Capital Stock or provides an affidavit of loss or destruction in lieu thereof in accordance with this Section 2.7 (at
which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, to receive
all such dividends and distributions, without interest).
(d)
Any shares of Parent Capital Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent that remain undistributed to holders of Company Stock Certificates
as of the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Company Stock Certificates
who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates or uncertificated shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance
with this Section 2.7 shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for Parent Capital Stock and any dividends
or distributions with respect to shares of Parent Capital Stock.
20
(e)
No Person shall be liable to any holder of any Company Stock Certificate or uncertificated shares of Company Capital Stock or to any
other Person with respect to any shares of Parent Capital Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or for any cash
amounts delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property Law, escheat Law or similar Law.
2.8
Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by the Surviving Corporation
to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title
and possession of and to all rights and property of the Company, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be
fully authorized, and shall use their and its commercially reasonable efforts (in the name of the Company, in the name of Merger Sub,
in the name of the Surviving Corporation and otherwise) to take such action.
2.9
Intended Tax Treatment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income
Tax purposes, the Merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (the “Intended
Tax Treatment”). The Parties adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3.
2.10
Withholding. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold
from any consideration deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld from
such consideration under applicable Law; provided that the Exchange Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, other than
with respect to amounts that are taxable as wages, use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify such Persons of any intention
to withhold any portion of such consideration and cooperate with such Persons to reduce or eliminate any such withholding to the extent
permitted by applicable Law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority,
such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise
have been paid. All payments made under this agreement that constitute compensation to employees for services for Tax purposes shall
be made through the payroll of the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as applicable.
2.11
Appraisal Rights.
(a)
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock that are outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time and which are held by stockholders or owned by beneficial owners who have exercised and perfected appraisal rights
for such shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall
not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration described in Section 2.5 attributable to such
Dissenting Shares. Such stockholders or beneficial owners shall be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such shares of Company
Capital Stock held by them in accordance with the DGCL, unless and until such stockholders or beneficial owners fail to perfect or effectively
withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the DGCL. All Dissenting Shares held by stockholders or owned by beneficial owners
who shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their right to appraisal of such shares of Company Capital
Stock under the DGCL (whether occurring before, at or after the Effective Time) shall thereupon be deemed to be converted into and to
have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, attributable
to such Dissenting Shares upon their surrender in the manner provided in Sections 2.5 and 2.7.
21
(b)
The Company shall give Parent prompt written notice of any demands by dissenting stockholders or beneficial owners received by the Company,
withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served on the Company and any material correspondence received by the Company in
connection with such demands, and Parent shall have the right to be reasonably informed of material negotiations and proceedings with
respect to such demands.

or supplement to any Parent SEC Document to correct any material misstatement or omission contained therein or to update any information
disclosed therein in order for any such Parent SEC Document to comply with applicable requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act. As used in this Section 4.7, the term “file” and variations thereof shall be broadly construed to include any
manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC.

report or amendment based on such evaluation. Parent has disclosed to Parent’s auditors and the Audit Committee of the Parent Board
(and made available to the Company a summary of the significant aspects of such disclosure) (A) all significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect Parent’s
ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
or other employees who have a significant role in Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting.

received since January 1, 2023, any written notice or other communication relating to property owned or leased at any time by Parent

5.3
Access and Investigation.
(a)
Subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement,
which the Parties agree will continue in full force following the date of this Agreement, during the Pre-Closing Period, upon reasonable
notice, Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
Party’s Representatives to: (a) provide the other Party and such other Party’s Representatives with reasonable access during
normal business hours to such Party’s Representatives, personnel, property and assets and to all existing books, records, Tax Returns,
work papers and other documents and information relating to such Party and its Subsidiaries, (b) provide the other Party and such other
Party’s Representatives with such copies of the existing books, records, Tax Returns, work papers, product data, and other documents
and information relating to such Party and its Subsidiaries, and with such additional financial, operating and other data and information
regarding such Party and its Subsidiaries as the other Party may reasonably request, (c) permit the other Party’s officers and

other document filed with or sent to or received from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Contemplated Transactions. Any
investigation conducted by either Parent or the Company pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be conducted in such manner as not
to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the other Party.
63
(b)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this
Section 5.3, no access or examination contemplated by this Section 5.3 shall be permitted to the extent that it would require
any Party or its Subsidiaries to waive the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product privilege, or violate any applicable Law;
provided, that such Party or its Subsidiary (i) shall be entitled to withhold only such information that may not be provided without
causing such violation or waiver, (ii) shall provide to the other Party all related information that may be provided without causing
such violation or waiver (including, to the extent permitted, redacted versions of any such information) and (iii) shall enter into such
effective and appropriate joint-defense agreements or other protective arrangements as may be reasonably requested by the other Party
in order that all such information may be provided to the other Party without causing such violation or waiver.
5.4
No Solicitation.
(a)
Each of Parent and the Company agrees that, during the
Pre-Closing Period, neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall it or any of its Subsidiaries authorize or permit any of
its Representatives to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage, induce or facilitate the communication,
making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, (ii) furnish any non-public information regarding
such Party to any Person in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, (iii) engage in discussions
or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, (iv) execute or enter into any letter
of intent or any Contract contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Transaction or (v) publicly propose to do any of the
foregoing; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5.4 and subject to compliance
with this Section 5.4, prior to the approval of this Agreement by a Party’s stockholders (i.e., the Required Company Stockholder
Vote, in the case of the Company and its Subsidiaries, or the Required Parent Stockholder Vote in the case of Parent), such Party may
furnish non-public information regarding such Party and its Subsidiaries to, and enter into discussions or negotiations with, any Person
in response to a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal by such Person which such Party’s board of directors determines in good
faith, after consultation with such Party’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel, constitutes, or is reasonably likely
to result in, a Superior Offer (and is not withdrawn) if: (A) such Acquisition Proposal was not obtained or made as a direct or indirect
result of a breach of this Agreement, (B) the board of directors of such Party concludes in good faith based on the advice of outside
legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the board of directors’
fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (C) at least two (2) Business Days prior to initially furnishing any such nonpublic information
to, or entering into discussions with, such Person, such Party gives the other Party written notice of the identity of such Person and
of such Party’s intention to furnish nonpublic information to, or enter into discussions with, such Person, (D) such Party receives
from such Person an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and (E) at least two (2) Business Days prior to furnishing any such
nonpublic information to such Person, such Party furnishes such nonpublic information to the other Party (to the extent such information
has not been previously furnished by such Party to the other Party). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party acknowledges
and agrees that, in the event any Representative of such Party takes any action that, if taken by such Party, would constitute a breach
of this Section 5.4 by such Party, the taking of such action by such Representative shall be deemed to constitute a breach of
this Section 5.4 by such Party for purposes of this Agreement.
64
(b)
If any Party or any Representative of such Party receives
an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry at any time during the Pre-Closing Period, then such Party shall promptly (and in no event
later than one (1) Business Day after such Party becomes aware of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry) advise the other
Party in writing of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry (including the identity of the Person making or submitting such
Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, and the terms thereof). Such Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed with respect
to the status and terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry and any material modification or material proposed modification
thereto.
(c)
Each Party shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated
any existing discussions, negotiations and communications with any Person that relate to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry
as of the date of this Agreement and request the destruction or return of any nonpublic information provided to such Person.
(d)
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary
herein, in the event that the initial End Date has passed (without taking into account extensions provided for in Section 10.1(b)),
the Parent and the Company shall be, without further action on the part of any party, released from any and all of its obligations under
this Section 5.4. For the avoidance of doubt, in such a case, the Parent and the Company shall be free to pursue, solicit or otherwise
participate in, without liability hereunder, any offer or transaction, whether or not it would constitute a Superior Offer or an Acquisition
Proposal, without providing notice to or seeking consent or a waiver from the other Party.
5.5
Notification of Certain Matters. During the Pre-Closing Period, each of the Company, on the one
hand, and Parent, on the other hand, shall promptly notify the other (and, if in writing, furnish copies of) if any of the following
occurs: (a) any notice or other communication is received from any Person alleging that the Consent of such Person is or may be required
in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions, (b) any Legal Proceeding against or involving or otherwise affecting such Party
or its Subsidiaries is commenced, or, to the Knowledge of such Party, threatened against such Party or, to the Knowledge of such Party,
any director or officer of such Party, (c) such Party becomes aware of any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by such
Party in this Agreement or (d) the failure of such Party to comply with any covenant or obligation of such Party; in each case that could
reasonably be expected to make the timely satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7, Section 8 or Section
9, as applicable, impossible or materially less likely. No such notice shall be deemed to supplement or amend the Company Disclosure
Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter for the purpose of (x) determining the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties made
by the Company in this Agreement or (y) determining whether any condition set forth in Section 7, Section 8 or Section
9 has been satisfied. Any failure by either Party to provide notice pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall not be deemed to be
a breach for purposes of Section 8.2 or Section 9.2, as applicable, unless such failure to provide such notice was knowing
and intentional.
65
Section
6. Additional Agreements of the Parties.
6.1
Registration Statement, Proxy Statement.
(a)
As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date
of this Agreement, Parent, in cooperation with and subject to the written consent of the Company, shall prepare and file with the SEC
a registration statement on Form S-4 (including a prospectus) (the “Form S-4”) to vote on the approval of the Parent
Stockholder Approval Matters and in which a proxy statement relating to the Parent Stockholder Meeting to be held in connection with
the Merger (together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement”) shall be included
as a part (the Proxy Statement and the Form S-4, collectively, the “Registration Statement”), in connection with the
registration under the Securities Act of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued by virtue of the Contemplated Transactions. Parent
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the Registration Statement to comply with applicable rules and regulations promulgated
by the SEC, (ii) cause the Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable, and (iii) respond promptly to any comments
or requests of the SEC or its staff related to the Registration Statement. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all
actions required under any applicable federal, state, securities and other Laws in connection with the issuance of shares of Parent Capital
Stock pursuant to the Contemplated Transactions. Each of the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party and furnish all
information concerning itself and its Affiliates, as applicable, to the other Parties that is required by law to be included in the Registration
Statement as the other Parties may reasonably request in connection with such actions and the preparation of the Registration Statement
and Proxy Statement.
(b)
Parent covenants and agrees that the Registration Statement
(and the letter to stockholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy included therewith) will (i) comply as to form in all material respects
with the requirements of applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the DGCL, and (ii) will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company covenants and agrees that the information supplied by or
on behalf of the Company to Parent for inclusion in the Registration Statement (including the Company Audited Financial Statements) will
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make such information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
neither Party makes any covenant, representation or warranty with respect to statements made in the Registration Statement (and the letter
to stockholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy included therewith), if any, based on information provided by the other Party or
any of its Representatives regarding such other Party or its Affiliates for inclusion therein.
(c)
Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to Parent’s stockholders as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is
declared effective under the Securities Act. If at any time before the Effective Time, (i) Parent, Merger Sub or the Company (A) become
aware of any event or information that, pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement
to the Registration Statement or Proxy Statement, (B) receives notice of any SEC request for an amendment or supplement to the Registration
Statement or for additional information related thereto, or (C) receives SEC comments on the Registration Statement, or (ii) the information
provided in the Registration Statement has become “stale” (financial or otherwise) and new information should be disclosed
in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, as the case may be, then such Party, as the case may be, shall promptly
inform the other Parties thereof and shall cooperate with such other Parties in Parent filing such amendment or supplement with the SEC
(and, if appropriate, in mailing such amendment or supplement to Parent stockholders) or otherwise addressing such SEC request or comments
and each Party and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective, if required. Parent
shall promptly notify the Company if it becomes aware (1) that the Registration Statement has become effective, (2) of the issuance of
any stop order or suspension of the qualification or registration of the Parent Capital Stock issuable in connection with the Contemplated
Transactions for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or (3) any order of the SEC related to the Registration Statement, and shall promptly
provide to the Company copies of all written correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or
staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Registration Statement and all orders of the SEC relating to the Registration
Statement.
66
(d)
The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Parent and
provide, and cause its Representatives to provide, Parent and its Representatives, with all true, correct and complete information regarding
the Company that is required by Law to be included in the Registration Statement or reasonably requested by Parent to be included in
the Registration Statement (collectively, the “Company Required S-4 Information”). Without limiting the foregoing,
the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent a consent letter of the Company’s independent
accounting firm, dated no more than two (2) Business Days before the date on which the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC (and
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent), that is customary in scope and substance for consent letters delivered by independent
public accountants in connection with registration statements similar to the Registration Statement. The Company and its legal counsel
shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Registration Statement, including all amendments and supplements thereto,
and final approval over the contents of the Registration Statement, prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and on the response to
any comments of the SEC on the Registration Statement, prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. If the prior consent of the Company
is not obtained in contravention of this Section 6.1, then notwithstanding anything else herein, the Company makes no covenant
or representation regarding the portion of such information supplied by or on behalf of the Company to Parent for inclusion in such Registration
Statement that the Company reasonably identifies prior to such filing of the Registration Statement.
(e)
The Company will, within forty-five (45) days following
the date hereof (the “Initial Financial Delivery Period”), furnish to Parent (i) audited financial statements for
each of its fiscal years required to be included in the Registration Statement, or an audited period balance sheet, as applicable (the
“Company Audited Financial Statements”) and (ii) unaudited interim financial statements for each interim period completed
prior to Closing that would be required to be included in the Registration Statement or any periodic report due prior to the Closing
if the Company were subject to the periodic reporting requirements under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (the “Company
Interim Financial Statements”). Each of the Company Audited Financial Statements and the Company Interim Financial Statements
shall be suitable for inclusion in the Registration Statement and prepared in accordance with GAAP as applied on a consistent basis during
the periods involved (except in each case as described in the notes thereto) and on that basis will present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position and the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company as of the dates
of and for the periods referred to in the Company Audited Financial Statements or the Company Interim Financial Statements, as the case
may be.
6.2
Company Stockholder Written Consent.
(a)
Promptly after the Registration Statement has been declared
effective under the Securities Act, and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall obtain the approval
by written consent from Company stockholders sufficient for the Required Company Stockholder Vote in lieu of a meeting pursuant to Section
228 of the DGCL, for purposes of (i) adopting and approving this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, (ii) acknowledging that
the approval given thereby is irrevocable and that such stockholder is aware of its rights to demand appraisal for its shares pursuant
to Section 262 of the DGCL, and that such stockholder has received and read a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL and (iii) acknowledging
that by its approval of the Merger it is not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to its shares in connection with the Merger and
thereby waives any rights to receive payment of the fair value of its capital stock under the DGCL (the “Company Stockholder
Written Consents”). Under no circumstances shall the Company assert that any other approval or consent is necessary by its
stockholders to approve this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.
(b)
Reasonably promptly following receipt of the Required
Company Stockholder Vote, the Company shall prepare and mail a notice (the “Stockholder Notice”) to every stockholder
of the Company that did not execute the Company Stockholder Written Consent that satisfies the requirements of Sections 228 and 262 of
the DGCL.
67
(c)
The Company agrees that, subject to Section 6.2(d):
(i) the Company Board shall recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt and approve this Agreement and the Contemplated
Transactions and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit such approval within the time set forth in Section 6.2(a)
(the recommendation of the Company Board that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt and approve this Agreement being referred
to as the “Company Board Recommendation”) and (ii) the Company Board Recommendation shall not be withdrawn or modified
(and the Company Board shall not publicly propose to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation) in a manner adverse to Parent,
and no resolution by the Company Board or any committee thereof to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse
to Parent or to adopt, approve or recommend (or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend) any Acquisition Proposal shall be adopted
or proposed.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 6.2(c), and subject to compliance with Section 5.4 and Section 6.2, if at any time prior to approval and
adoption of this Agreement by the Required Company Stockholder Vote, (i) the Company receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal
that the Company Board determines, following consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, to be a Superior Offer,
or (ii) as a result of a material development or change in circumstances (other than any such event, development or change to the extent
related to any Acquisition Proposal, Acquisition Inquiry, Acquisition Transaction or the consequences thereof) that affects the business,
assets or operations of the Company that occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement (a “Company Intervening Event”),
the Company Board may withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation (or publicly propose to withhold, amend, withdraw
or modify the Company Board Recommendation) in a manner adverse to Parent (collectively, a “Company Board Adverse Recommendation
Change”) if, but only if, (x) in the case of a Superior Offer, following the receipt of and on account of such Superior Offer,
(i) the Company Board determines in good faith, based on the advice of its outside legal counsel (oral advice to suffice), that the failure
to withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary
duties under applicable Law, (ii) the Company has, during the Notice Period (as defined below), negotiated with Parent in good faith
to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior
Offer and (iii) if, Parent has delivered to the Company a written offer to alter the terms or conditions of this Agreement during the
Notice Period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, based on the advice of its outside legal counsel and financial
advisor, that the failure to withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be
inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (after taking into account such alterations of the terms and conditions of
this Agreement); provided that (1) Parent receives written notice from the Company confirming that the Company Board has determined
to change its recommendation at least four (4) Business Days in advance of the Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change (the “Notice
Period”), which notice shall include a description in reasonable detail of the reasons for such Company Board Adverse Recommendation
Change, and written copies of any relevant proposed transaction agreements with any party making a potential Superior Offer (which may
be redacted to the extent necessary to comply with the confidentiality obligations contained therein, or as may be necessary or advisable,
as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, to remove information concerning sources of financing), (2) during any Notice Period,
Parent shall be entitled to deliver to the Company one or more counterproposals to such Acquisition Proposal and the Company will, and
cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments
in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the applicable Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Offer and (3)
in the event of any material amendment to any Superior Offer (including any revision in the amount, form or mix of consideration the
Company’s stockholders would receive as a result of such potential Superior Offer), the Company shall be required to provide Parent
with notice of such material amendment and the Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least three (3) Business
Days remain in the Notice Period following such notification during which the parties shall comply again with the requirements of this
Section 6.2(d) and the Company Board shall not make a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change prior to the end of such Notice
Period as so extended (it being understood that there shall be no more than two (2) extensions) or (y) in the case of a Company Intervening
Event, the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing, within the Notice Period before making a Company Board Adverse Recommendation
Change, which notice shall state expressly the material facts and circumstances related to the applicable Company Intervening Event and
that the Company Board intends to make a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change.
68
(e)
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary
herein, in the event that the initial End Date has passed (without taking into account extensions provided for in Section 10.1(b)),
the Company shall be, without further action on the part of any party, released from any and all of its obligations under this Section
6.2. For the avoidance of doubt, in such a case, the Company shall be free to pursue, solicit or otherwise participate in, without
liability hereunder, any offer or transaction, whether or not it would constitute a Superior Offer, without providing notice to or seeking
consent or a waiver from Parent or Merger Sub.
6.3
Parent Stockholder Meeting.
(a)
Parent shall take all action necessary under applicable
Law to call, give notice of and hold a meeting of the holders of Parent Common Stock to consider and vote to approve this Agreement and
thereby approve the Parent Stockholder Matters, this Agreement, and the Contemplated Transactions (such meeting, the “Parent
Stockholder Meeting”). The Parent Stockholder Meeting shall be held as promptly as practicable after the date that the Registration
Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, and in any event, no later than forty five (45) days after the effective date
of the Registration Statement. Parent shall take reasonable measures to ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the Parent
Stockholder Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if
on the date of the Parent Stockholder Meeting, or a date preceding the date on which the Parent Stockholder Meeting is scheduled, Parent
reasonably believes that (i) it will not receive proxies sufficient to obtain the Required Parent Stockholder Vote, whether or not a
quorum would be present, (ii) it will not have sufficient shares of Parent Common Stock represented (whether in person or by proxy) to
constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Parent Stockholder Meeting or (iii) that the failure to postpone or adjourn
the Parent Stockholder Meeting would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law, Parent
may postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the Parent Stockholder Meeting as long as the
date of the Parent Stockholder Meeting is not postponed or adjourned more than an aggregate of thirty (30) days in connection with any
postponements or adjournments.
(b)
Parent agrees that (i) the Parent Board shall recommend
that the holders of Parent Common Stock vote to approve the Parent Stockholder Matters, this Agreement, and the Contemplated Transactions
and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit such approval within the timeframe set forth in Section 6.3(a) above
and (ii) the Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the Parent Board recommends that Parent’s stockholders
vote to approve the Parent Stockholder Matters, this Agreement, and the Contemplated Transactions (the recommendation of the Parent Board
being referred to as the “Parent Board Recommendation”).
69
(c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 6.3(a), and subject to compliance with Section 5.4 and Section 6.3, if at any time prior to approval and
adoption of this Agreement by the Required Parent Stockholder Vote, (i) Parent receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that
the Parent Board determines, following consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, to be a Superior Offer or (ii)
as a result of a material development or change in circumstances (other than any such event, development or change to the extent related
to (A) any Acquisition Proposal, Acquisition Inquiry, Acquisition Transaction or the consequences thereof, or (B) the fact, in and of
itself, that Parent meets or exceeds internal budgets, plans or forecasts of its revenues, earnings or other financial performance or
results of operations (a “Parent Intervening Event”), the Parent Board may withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the
Parent Board Recommendation (or publicly propose to withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Parent Board Recommendation) in a manner
adverse to the Company (collectively, a “Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change”) if, but only if, (x) in the
case of a Superior Offer, following the receipt of and on account of such Superior Offer, (i) the Parent Board determines in good faith,
based on the advice of its outside legal counsel, that the failure to withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Parent Board Recommendation
would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (ii) Parent has, and has caused its financial
advisors and outside legal counsel to, during the Parent Notice Period (as defined below), negotiated with the Company in good faith
to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior
Offer, and (iii) if, after the Company has delivered to Parent a written offer to alter the terms or conditions of this Agreement during
the Parent Notice Period, the Parent Board shall have determined in good faith, based on the advice of its outside legal counsel and
financial advisor, that the failure to withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Parent Board Recommendation would reasonably be expected
to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (after taking into account such alterations of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement); provided that (1) the Company receives written notice from Parent confirming that the Parent Board has determined
to change its recommendation at least four (4) Business Days in advance of the Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change (the “Parent
Notice Period”), which notice shall include a description in reasonable detail of the reasons for such Parent Board Adverse
Recommendation Change, and written copies of any relevant proposed transaction agreements with any party making a potential Superior
Offer, (2) during any Parent Notice Period, the Company shall be entitled to deliver to Parent one or more counterproposals to such Acquisition
Proposal and Parent will, and cause its Representatives to, negotiate with the Company in good faith (to the extent the Company desires
to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the applicable Acquisition Proposal ceases
to constitute a Superior Offer and (3) in the event of any material amendment to any Superior Offer (including any revision in the amount,
form or mix of consideration Parent’s stockholders would receive as a result of such potential Superior Offer), Parent shall be
required to provide the Company with notice of such material amendment and the Parent Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable,
to ensure that at least three (3) Business Days remain in the Parent Notice Period following such notification during which the parties
shall comply again with the requirements of this Section 6.3(c) and the Parent Board shall not make a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation
Change prior to the end of such Parent Notice Period as so extended (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions) or (y)
in the case of a Parent Intervening Event, Parent promptly notifies the Company, in writing, within the Parent Notice Period before making
a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change, which notice shall state expressly the material facts and circumstances related to the
applicable Parent Intervening Event and that the Parent Board intends to make a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change.
(d)
Parent’s obligation to call, give notice of and
hold the Parent Stockholder Meeting in accordance with Section 6.3(a) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement,
disclosure, announcement or submission of any Superior Offer, Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, or by any Parent Board Adverse
Recommendation Change.
70
(e)
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Parent
or the Parent Board from (i) complying with Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however,
that any disclosure made by Parent or the Parent Board pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) shall be limited to a statement that Parent
is unable to take a position with respect to the bidder’s tender offer unless the Parent Board determines in good faith, after
consultation with its outside legal counsel, that such statement would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties
under applicable Law; (ii) complying with Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act; (iii) informing any Person
of the existence of the provisions contained in Section 5.4; or (iv) making any disclosure to the stockholders of Parent that
the Parent Board (or a committee thereof), after consultation with its outside legal counsel, has determined in good faith is required
by applicable Law.
(f)
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary
herein, in the event that the initial End Date has passed (without taking into account extensions provided for in Section 10.1(b)),
Parent shall be, without further action on the part of any party, released from any and all of its obligations under this Section
6.3. For the avoidance of doubt, in such a case, Parent shall be free to pursue, solicit or otherwise participate in, without liability
hereunder, any offer or transaction, whether or not it would constitute a Superior Offer, without providing notice to or seeking consent
or a waiver from the Company.
6.4
Efforts; Regulatory Approvals.
(a)
The Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to consummate
the Contemplated Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party: (i) shall make all filings and other submissions
(if any) and give all notices (if any) required to be made and given by such Party in connection with the Contemplated Transactions,
(ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each Consent (if any) reasonably required to be obtained (pursuant to any applicable
Law or Contract, or otherwise) by such Party in connection with the Contemplated Transactions or for such Contract to remain in full
force and effect, (iii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to lift any injunction prohibiting, or any other legal bar to, the
Contemplated Transactions and (iv) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions precedent to the consummation
of this Agreement.
(b)
Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, each
Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file or otherwise submit, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement,
all applications, notices, reports and other documents reasonably required to be filed by such Party with or otherwise submitted by such
Party to any Governmental Authority with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, and to submit promptly any additional information
requested by any such Governmental Authority. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties shall prepare and file, if
required, (a) the notification and report forms required to be filed under the Hart–Scott–Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act
of 1976 and (b) any notification or other document required to be filed in connection with the Merger under any applicable foreign Law
relating to antitrust or competition matters, no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date the Company and Parent receive notification
(in writing or otherwise) from the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice, any state attorney general, foreign antitrust
or competition authority or other Governmental Authority that a filing is required in connection with antitrust or competition matters.
(c)
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent
shall give the Company prompt written notice (email being sufficient) of any litigation against Parent and/or its directors relating
to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions (“Transaction Litigation”) (including by providing copies of all
pleadings with respect thereto) and keep the Company reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof. Parent will (i) give the
Company the opportunity to participate in, but not control, the defense, settlement or prosecution of any Transaction Litigation (to
the extent that the attorney-client privilege is not undermined or otherwise adversely affected; provided that Parent and the
Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to find alternative solutions to not undermine or adversely effect the privilege such
as entering into common interest agreements, joint defense agreements or similar agreements), (ii) consult with the Company with respect
to the defense, settlement and prosecution of any Transaction Litigation and (iii) consider in good faith the Company’s advice
with respect to such Transaction Litigation. Parent will obtain the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to settling or satisfying any such claim.
71
6.5
Company Options; Company Warrants; CEO RSU.
(a)
At the Effective Time, Parent shall assume each Company
Equity Incentive Plan and each Company Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time,
which shall, at the Effective Time, cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted, at the
Effective Time, into an option to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock (an “Assumed Option”), on the same terms
and conditions (including any vesting provisions and any provisions providing for accelerated vesting upon certain events) as were applicable
under such Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for administrative or ministerial changes as determined
by the Company Board (or, following the Effective Time, the Parent Board or compensation committee thereof). The number of shares of
Parent Common Stock subject to each such Assumed Option shall be equal to (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to
the respective Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down, if
necessary, to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock, and such Assumed Option shall have an exercise price per share (rounded
up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of the Company Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to
the respective Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, that
in the case of any Company Option to which Section 421 of the Code applies as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (taking into
account the effect of any accelerated vesting thereof, if applicable) by reason of its qualification under Section 422 of the Code, the
exercise price, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option
shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code; provided further, that in the
case of any Assumed Option to which Section 409A of the Code applies as of the Effective Time, the exercise price, the number of shares
of Parent Common Stock subject to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in a manner
consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid the imposition of any additional taxes thereunder. The
Company Board shall, prior to the Effective Time, take all actions necessary to effect the foregoing.
(b)
At the Effective Time, each Investor Financing Warrant,
whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be converted into and become
a warrant to purchase Parent Common Stock (each, an “Assumed Warrant”), and Parent shall assume the terms of
the Investor Financing Warrant by which such Investor Financing Warrant is evidenced (but with changes to such documents as Parent and
Company mutually agree are appropriate to reflect the substitution of the Investor Financing Warrant by Parent to purchase shares of
Parent Common Stock). All rights with respect to Company Common Stock under the Investor Financing Warrant assumed by Parent will thereupon
be converted into rights with respect to Parent Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (i) each Investor Financing
Warrant assumed by Parent may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock
subject to each Investor Financing Warrant assumed by Parent will be determined by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Company Common
Stock that were subject to such Investor Financing Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange
Ratio and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; (iii) the per share exercise
price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Investor Financing Warrant assumed by Parent will be determined by dividing
(x) the per share exercise price of Company Common Stock subject to such Investor Financing Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to
the Effective Time, by (y) the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest thousandth of a cent; and (iv)
any restriction on the exercise of any Investor Financing Warrant assumed by Parent will continue in full force and effect, and the term,
exercisability, method of exercise, vesting schedule, and other provisions of such Investor Financing Warrant will otherwise remain unchanged;
provided, however, that to the extent provided under the terms of a Investor Financing Warrant assumed by Parent in accordance
with this Section 6.5(b) will, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock
split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization
or other similar transaction with respect to Parent Common Stock subsequent to the Effective Time.
72
(c)
At the Effective Time, the CEO RSUs, whether vested
or unvested, that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be converted into and become the appropriate options,
restricted stock units, restricted stock, stock appreciation right, or other similar right to purchase, acquire or obtain (as applicable)
Parent Common Stock (the “Assumed CEO RSUs”), and Parent shall assume the terms of the CEO RSUs by which such
CEO RSUs is evidenced (but with changes to such documents as Parent and Company mutually agree (during the Pre-Closing Period) are appropriate
to reflect the substitution of the CEO RSUs by Parent to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock; provided, however, that
Parent shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent or agreement to the foregoing). All rights with respect to Company
Common Stock under the CEO RSUs assumed by Parent will thereupon be converted into rights with respect to Parent Common Stock. Accordingly,
from and after the Effective Time: (i) if the CEO RSUs are structured as options or warrants, each of the CEO RSUs assumed by Parent
may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each CEO RSUs
assumed by Parent will be determined by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such CEO RSUs,
as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest
whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; (iii) if the CEO RSUs are structured as options or warrants, the per share exercise price
for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each CEO RSUs assumed by Parent will be determined by dividing (x) the per share
exercise price of Company Common Stock subject to such CEO RSUs, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Exchange
Ratio and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest thousandth of a cent; and (iv) any restriction on the exercise (if
applicable) of any CEO RSUs assumed by Parent will continue in full force and effect, and the term, exercisability, method of exercise,
vesting schedule, and other provisions of such CEO RSUs will otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that to the
extent provided under the terms of a CEO RSUs assumed by Parent in accordance with this Section 6.5(c), such Assumed CEO RSUs
will, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision
of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction
with respect to Parent Common Stock subsequent to the Effective Time.
6.6
Employee Benefits.
(a)
Parent shall comply with the terms of any employment,
severance, retention, change of control, or similar agreement specified on Section 4.17(d) or contemplated by Section 5.1(b)
of the Parent Disclosure Letter, subject to the provisions of such agreements.
73
(b)
From and after the Effective Time, with respect to each
benefit plan maintained by Parent or the Surviving Corporation that is an “employee welfare benefit plan” as defined in Section
3(1) of ERISA (each, a “Post-Closing Welfare Plan”) in which any current or former employee of Parent is or becomes
eligible to participate (including under COBRA), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause
each such Post-Closing Welfare Plan to (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations
and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable under such Post-Closing Welfare Plan for such current
or former Parent employee and his or her eligible dependents to the same extent that such pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required
physical examinations and exclusions would not have applied or would have been waived under the corresponding Parent Employee Plan in
which such current or former Parent employee was a participant immediately prior to his or her commencement of participation in such
Post-Closing Welfare Plan, and (ii) provide each such current or former Parent employee and his or her eligible dependents with credit
for any co-payments and deductibles paid in the plan year that includes the Effective Time, and prior to the date that, such current
or former Parent employee commences participation in such Post-Closing Welfare Plan in satisfying any applicable co-payment or deductible
requirements under such Post-Closing Welfare Plan for the applicable plan year, to the extent that such expenses were recognized for
such purposes under the comparable Parent Employee Plan.
(c)
Nothing in this Section 6.6, express or implied,
shall (i) establish, or constitute an amendment, termination or modification of, or an undertaking to amend, establish, terminate or
modify, any Post-Closing Welfare Plan or other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (ii) alter or limit the ability of Parent
or the Surviving Corporation to amend, modify or terminate any Post-Closing Welfare Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement
or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them, (iii) create any obligation on the part of Parent
or the Surviving Corporation to employ or engage any former Parent employee for any period following the Closing Date, or (iv) create
any third party beneficiary rights in any current or former employee, director, consultant or other service provider of Parent.
6.7
Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
(a)
From the Effective Time through the sixth (6th)
anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless
each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer
of Parent or the Company, respectively (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities,
damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Costs”),
incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the D&O Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of Parent or of the Company,
whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. Each
D&O Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding
or investigation from each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, jointly and severally, upon receipt by Parent or the Surviving Corporation
from the D&O Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided that any such person to whom expenses are advanced provides
an undertaking to Parent, to the extent then required by the DGCL, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person
is not entitled to indemnification.
(b)
From and after the Effective Time, (i) the Surviving
Corporation shall fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company to its D&O Indemnified Parties as of immediately
prior to the Closing pursuant to any indemnification provisions under the Company’s Organizational Documents and pursuant to any
indemnification agreements between the Company and such D&O Indemnified Parties, with respect to claims arising out of matters occurring
at or prior to the Effective Time and (ii) Parent shall fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of Parent to its D&O Indemnified
Parties as of immediately prior to the Closing pursuant to any indemnification provisions under Parent’s Organizational Documents
and pursuant to any indemnification agreements between Parent and such D&O Indemnified Parties, with respect to claims arising out
of matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time.
74
(c)
From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, with an effective date as of the Closing Date, on commercially reasonable
terms and conditions and with coverage limits customary for U.S. public companies similarly situated to Parent. In addition, Parent shall
purchase at its sole expense, prior to the Effective Time, a six (6) year prepaid “D&O tail policy” (the “D&O
Tail Policy”) for the non-cancelable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of Parent’s
existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years
from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time with terms,
conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under Parent’s existing policies
as of the date of this Agreement, or otherwise acceptable to Parent, except that Parent will not commit or spend on such D&O Tail
Policy annual premiums in excess of 250% of the annual premiums paid by Parent in its last full fiscal year prior to the date hereof
for Parent’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (nor,
for the avoidance of doubt, shall Parent be obligated to spend any specific amount), and if such premiums for such D&O tail Policy
would exceed 250% of such annual premium, then Parent shall purchase policies that provide the maximum coverage available at an annual
premium equal to 250% of such annual premium. The Company shall in good faith cooperate with Parent prior to the Effective Time with
respect to the procurement of such D&O Tail Policy.
(d)
From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall pay,
or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay, all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that are incurred by the persons
referred to in this Section 6.7 in connection with their enforcement of the rights provided to such persons in this Section
6.7.
(e)
The provisions of this Section 6.7 are intended
to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current and former officers and directors of Parent and the Company by Law,
charter, statute, bylaw or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified
Parties, their heirs and their Representatives.
(f)
In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or
any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or
surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets
to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving
Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7. Parent shall cause the Surviving
Corporation to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.7.
(g)
Unless directed otherwise by the Company in writing
no less than three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to take all actions as are necessary
to terminate any 401(k) or other plan(s) with a cash or deferred arrangement (as defined in Section 401(k) of the Code), effective as
of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Parent shall provide the Company copies of all such corporate actions
or documentation related to the same at least three (3) Business Days before their adoption or approval for the Company’s reasonable
review and comment.
6.8
Disclosure. The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to agree to the text of
any initial press release and Parent’s Form 8-K announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Without limiting any Party’s
obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement, no Party shall, and no Party shall permit any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Representatives
to, issue any press release or make any public disclosure regarding the Contemplated Transactions unless: (a) the other Party shall have
approved such press release or disclosure in writing, such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed; or (b) such
Party shall have determined in good faith, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, that such disclosure is required by applicable Law
and, to the extent practicable, before such press release or disclosure is issued or made, such Party advises the other Party of, and
consults with the other Party regarding, the text of such press release or disclosure; provided, however, that each of
the Company and Parent may make any public statement in response to specific questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending
industry conferences or financial analyst conference calls, so long as any such statements are consistent with previous press releases,
public disclosures or public statements made by the Company or Parent in compliance with this Section 6.8. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a Party need not consult with any other Parties in connection with such portion of any press release, public statement or
filing to be issued or made pursuant to Section 6.2(d) or Section 6.3(e).
75
6.9
Listing. Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (a) maintain its listing on Nasdaq
and to obtain approval of the listing of the combined corporation on Nasdaq, (b) to the extent required by the rules and regulations
of Nasdaq, prepare and submit to Nasdaq a notification form for the listing of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in connection
with the Contemplated Transactions, and to cause such shares to be approved for listing (subject to official notice of issuance); (c)
prepare and timely submit to Nasdaq a notification form for the Nasdaq Reverse Split (if required) and to submit a copy of the amendment
to Parent’s certificate of incorporation effecting the Nasdaq Reverse Split, certified by the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware, to Nasdaq on the Closing Date; and (d) to the extent required by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5110, assist the Company in preparing
and filing an initial listing application for the Parent Common Stock on Nasdaq (the “Nasdaq Listing Application”)
and to cause such Nasdaq Listing Application to be conditionally approved prior to the Effective Time. Each Party will reasonably promptly
inform the other Party of all verbal or written communications between Nasdaq and such Party or its representatives. The Parties will
use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with respect to compliance with Nasdaq rules and regulations (such transactions, collectively,
the “Parent Listing Transactions”). The Party not filing the Nasdaq Listing Application will cooperate with the other
Party as reasonably requested by such filing Party with respect to the Nasdaq Listing Application and promptly furnish to such filing
Party all information concerning itself and its members that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated
by this Section 6.9.
6.10
Registration, Listing, and Proxy Fees and Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, Parent and Company shall split equally: (a) all fees paid to the SEC in connection with the filing of the Registration
Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto, (b) all fees and expenses in connection with the printing, mailing, and distribution
of the Proxy Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto, and (c) all Nasdaq fees associated with any action contemplated by
Section 6.9, including any fees related to the engagement of a consultant.
6.11
Tax Matters.
(a)
The Parties shall use reasonable best efforts (and each
shall cause its Affiliates) to cause the Merger to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. No Party shall take any actions, or fail to
take any action, which action or failure to act would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Intended Tax Treatment. The Parties
shall report the Contemplated Transactions for all applicable Tax purposes in a manner that is consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment.
No Party shall take any position that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment during the course of any audit, litigation or other
proceeding with respect to Taxes, in each case, unless otherwise required by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of
the Code. The Parties shall comply with the recordkeeping and information reporting requirements imposed on them, including, but not
limited to, those set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-3.
(b)
Parent shall promptly notify the Company if, at any
time before the Effective Time, Parent becomes aware of any fact or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to prevent, cause
a failure of, or impede the Intended Tax Treatment. The Company shall promptly notify Parent if, at any time before the Effective Time,
the Company becomes aware of any fact or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to prevent, cause a failure of, or impede the
Intended Tax Treatment.
76
(c)
If the SEC requires that an opinion with respect to
the Intended Tax Treatment be prepared and submitted in connection with the Registration Statement and Proxy Statement, (i) the Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Wilk Auslander LLP (or such other nationally recognized law or accounting firm reasonably
satisfactory to the Company) to furnish an opinion (as so required and subject to customary assumptions and limitations), (ii) Parent
shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Haynes and Boone, LLP (or such other nationally recognized law or accounting firm reasonably
satisfactory to Parent) to furnish an opinion (as so required and subject to customary assumptions and limitations), and (iii) Parent
and the Company shall each deliver to each of Wilk Auslander LLP (or such other nationally recognized law or accounting firm reasonably
satisfactory to the Company) and Haynes and Boone, LLP (or such other nationally recognized law or accounting firm reasonably satisfactory
to Parent) a Tax certificate, dated as of the date the Registration Statement and Proxy Statement shall have been declared effective
by the SEC and signed by an officer of Parent or the Company, as applicable, containing customary representations and covenants reasonably
acceptable to the Company and Parent, as applicable, in each case, as reasonably necessary and appropriate to enable such advisors to
render such opinions (the “Tax Certificates”). Each of Parent and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts not to take or cause to be taken any action that would cause to be untrue (or fail to take or cause not to be taken any action
which would cause to be untrue) any of the Tax certifications, covenants or representations included in the Tax Certificates.
(d)
Parent and the Company shall reasonably cooperate in
the preparation, execution and filing of all Tax Returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents regarding any real property
transfer, sales, use, transfer, value added, stock transfer and stamp taxes, and transfer, recording, registration and other fees and
similar Taxes which become payable in connection with the Merger that are required or permitted to be filed on or before the Effective
Time. Each of Parent and the Company shall pay, without deduction from any consideration or other amounts payable or otherwise deliverable
pursuant to this Agreement and without reimbursement from the other Party, any such Taxes or fees imposed on it by any Governmental Authority,
which becomes payable in connection with the Merger.
6.12
Legends. To the extent required by applicable Law, Parent shall place appropriate legends on the
book entries and/or certificates evidencing any shares of Parent Capital Stock to be received in the Merger by equityholders of the Company
who may be considered “affiliates” of Parent for purposes of Rules 144 and 145 under the Securities Act reflecting the restrictions
set forth in Rules 144 and 145 and to issue appropriate stop transfer instructions to the transfer agent for any such shares of Parent
Capital Stock.
6.13
Officers and Directors. Until successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable Law, the Parties
shall use commercially reasonable efforts and take all necessary action so that the Persons listed on Section 6.13 of the Parent
Disclosure Letter are elected or appointed, as applicable, to the positions of officers or directors of Parent and the Surviving Corporation,
as set forth therein, to serve in such positions effective as of the Effective Time. If any Person listed on Section 6.13 of the
Parent Disclosure Letter is unable or unwilling to serve as officer or director of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as set forth
therein, the Party appointing such Person (as set forth on Section 6.13 of the Parent Disclosure Letter) shall designate a successor.
The Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to have each of the Persons that will serve as directors and officers of Parent following
the Closing to execute and deliver a Lock-Up Agreement prior to Closing.
77
6.14
Termination of Certain Agreements and Rights. Each of Parent and the Company shall cause any stockholder
agreements, voting agreements, registration rights agreements, co-sale agreements and any other similar Contracts between either Parent
or the Company and any holders of Parent Common Stock or Company Capital Stock, respectively, including any such Contract granting any
Person investor rights, rights of first refusal, registration rights or director registration rights, to be terminated immediately prior
to the Effective Time, without any liability being imposed on the part of Parent or the Surviving Corporation.
6.15
Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall take all such steps as may be required
to cause any acquisitions of Parent Common Stock and any options to purchase Parent Common Stock in connection with the Contemplated
Transactions, by each individual who is reasonably expected to become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange
Act with respect to Parent, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.
6.16
Allocation Information. The Company will prepare and deliver to Parent prior to the Closing a spreadsheet
setting forth (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) (a) each holder of Company Capital Stock, (b) such holder’s name
and address, (c) the number or percentage and type of Company Capital Stock held as of the Closing Date for each such holder and (d)
the number of shares of Parent Capital Stock to be issued to such holder pursuant to this Agreement in respect of the Company Capital
Stock held by such holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Allocation Certificate”).
6.17
Parent SEC Documents. From the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, Parent shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to timely file with the SEC all registration statements, proxy statements, Certifications, reports, schedules, exhibits,
forms and other documents required to be filed by Parent with the SEC under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (“SEC Documents”).
As of its filing date, or if amended after the date of this Agreement, as of the date of the last such amendment, each SEC Document filed
by Parent with the SEC (a) shall comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities
Act, and (b) except for information in such SEC Documents that is “furnished” instead of “filed” under Items
2.02 or 7.01 in the Parent’s Current Reports on Form 8-K, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
6.18
Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent will take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub to, and Merger
Sub shall, perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

this Agreement, and in any event within the time period as set forth in the Parent Warrant, Parent shall deliver notice to the holders
of such Parent Warrants with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the rights of the holders thereof in connection
therewith, subject to the review and approval of Company (not to be unreasonably withheld). At the Effective Time, each Parent Warrant
that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall survive the Closing and remain outstanding in accordance
with its terms.

a particular date (which representations and warranties shall have been true and correct, subject to the qualifications as set forth
in the preceding clause (x), as of such particular date). The representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement
(other than the Company Fundamental Representations and the Company Capitalization Representations) shall have been true and correct
as of the date of this Agreement and shall be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if made
on the Closing Date except (a) in each case, or in the aggregate, where the failure to be so true and correct would not reasonably be
expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect (without giving effect to any references therein to any Company Material Adverse Effect
or other materiality qualifications) or (b) for those representations and warranties which address matters only as of a particular date
(which representations shall have been true and correct, subject to the qualifications as set forth in the preceding clause (a), as of
such particular date) (it being understood that, for purposes of determining the accuracy of such representations and warranties, any
update of or modification to the Company Disclosure Letter made or purported to have been made after the date of this Agreement shall
be disregarded).

date (which representations shall have been true and correct, subject to the qualifications as set forth in the preceding clause (a),

stockholders and whether before or after approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters, this Agreement, and the Contemplated Transactions
by Parent’s stockholders, unless otherwise specified below):
(a)
by mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;
(b)
by either Parent or the Company if the Merger shall
not have been consummated by the date that is the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof (subject to possible extension as provided
in this Section 10.1(b), the “End Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this
Agreement under this Section 10.1(b) shall not be available to the Company or Parent if such Party’s (or in the case of
Parent, Merger Sub’s) action or failure to act has been a principal cause of the failure of the Merger to occur on or before the
End Date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement, provided further, however, that, in
the event that the SEC has not declared effective under the Securities Act the Registration Statement then either the Company or Parent
shall be entitled to extend the End Date for an additional sixty (60) days;
(c)
by either Parent or the Company if a court of competent
jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority shall have issued a final and nonappealable Order having the effect of permanently restraining,

not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(d);
(e)
by Parent if the Company has failed to deliver to Parent
the Company Audited Financial Statements and the Company Interim Financial Statements within the time period required by Section 6.1(e);

by either Parent or the Company if (i) the Parent Stockholder
Meeting (including any adjournments and postponements thereof) shall have been held and completed and Parent’s stockholders shall

Matters, this Agreement, and the Contemplated Transactions shall not have been approved at the Parent Stockholder Meeting (or at any
adjournment or postponement thereof) by the Required Parent Stockholder Vote; provided, however, that the right to terminate
this Agreement under this Section 10.1(f) shall not be available to Parent where the failure to obtain the Required Parent Stockholder
Vote shall have been caused by the action or failure to act of Parent and such action or failure to act constitutes a material breach
by Parent of this Agreement;
(g)
by the Company (at any time prior to the approval of
the Parent Stockholder Matters, this Agreement, or the Contemplated Transactions by the Required Parent Stockholder Vote) if a Parent
Triggering Event shall have occurred;
(h)
by Parent (at any time prior to the adoption of this
Agreement and the approval of the Contemplated Transactions by the Required Company Stockholder Vote) if a Company Triggering Event shall
have occurred;
82
(i)
by the Company, upon a breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub or if any representation or warranty of Parent or
Merger Sub shall have become inaccurate, in either case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2
would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become inaccurate;
provided, that the Company is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement;
provided further, that if such inaccuracy in Parent’s or Merger Sub’s representations and warranties or breach by
Parent or Merger Sub is curable by Parent or Merger Sub, then the Company shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to this Section 10.1(i) as a result of such particular breach or inaccuracy until the earlier of (i) the expiration of a thirty
(30) day period commencing upon delivery of written notice from the Company to Parent or Merger Sub of such breach or inaccuracy and
its intention to terminate pursuant to this Section 10.1(i) and (ii) Parent or Merger Sub (as applicable) ceasing to exercise
commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach following delivery of written notice from the Company to Parent or Merger Sub of
such breach or inaccuracy and its intention to terminate pursuant to this Section 10.1(i) (it being understood that the Company
shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(i) as a result of such particular breach or inaccuracy
if such breach by Parent or Merger Sub is cured prior to such termination becoming effective); or
(j)
by Parent, upon a breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement by the Company or if any representation or warranty of the Company shall have become
inaccurate, in either case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 would not be satisfied as
of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become inaccurate; provided that Parent
is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement; provided, further,
that if such inaccuracy in the Company’s representations and warranties or breach by the Company is curable by the Company then
Parent shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(j) as a result of such particular breach
or inaccuracy until the earlier of (i) the expiration of a thirty (30) day period commencing upon delivery of written notice from Parent
to the Company of such breach or inaccuracy and its intention to terminate pursuant to this Section 10.1(j) and (ii) the Company
ceasing to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach following delivery of written notice from Parent to the Company
of such breach or inaccuracy and its intention to terminate pursuant to this Section 10.1(j) (it being understood that Parent
shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(j) as a result of such particular breach or inaccuracy
if such breach by the Company is cured prior to such termination becoming effective);
The
Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1 (other than pursuant to Section 10.1(a)) shall
give a notice of such termination to the other Party specifying the provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is made and
the basis therefor described in reasonable detail.
10.2
Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section
10.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect; provided, however, that (a) this Section 10.2,
Section 10.3 and Section 11 (other than Section 11.8) and the related definitions of the defined terms in such sections
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect and (b) the termination of this Agreement and
the provisions of Section 10.3 shall not relieve any Party of any liability for fraud or for any willful and material breach of
any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or other provision contained in this Agreement; provided, further, that
no Party shall have any liability under this Section 10.2(b) for any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty
to the extent the other Party had Knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach as of the date of this Agreement.
83
10.3
Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 6.10, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the
Contemplated Transactions shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.
10.4
Effect of Knowledge on Representations and Warranties. No Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section
10.1(i) or Section 10.1(j), refuse to consummate the Closing, or assert that any condition set forth in Sections 8.1
or 9.1, as applicable, has not been satisfied, in each case, to the extent based upon any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation
or warranty of another Party contained in this Agreement of which such Party had Knowledge as of the date of this Agreement. For the
avoidance of doubt, no Party may rely on any such inaccuracy or breach that such Party had Knowledge of as of the date of this Agreement
to (a) fail to satisfy the condition set forth in Sections 8.1 or 9.1, as applicable, or (b) exercise any termination right
under Section 10.1(i) or Section 10.1(j), as applicable, based on the failure of the conditions set forth in Sections
8.1 or 9.1, as applicable. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, whether
conducted before or after the date of this Agreement, shall not affect any representation or warranty made by any Party herein; provided,
however, that this Section 10.4 shall limit a Party’s ability to assert or rely upon a known inaccuracy or breach
of a representation or warranty as set forth above. Nothing in this Section 10.4 shall limit any Party’s rights or remedies
with respect to any breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement).
Section
11. Miscellaneous Provisions.
11.1
Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Company,
Parent and Merger Sub contained in this Agreement or any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate
at the Effective Time, and only the covenants that by their terms survive the Effective Time and this Section 11 shall survive
the Effective Time.
11.2
Amendment. This Agreement may be amended with the approval of the respective boards of directors
of the Company, Merger Sub and Parent at any time (whether before or after the adoption and approval of this Agreement by the Company’s
stockholders or before or after obtaining the Required Parent Stockholder Vote); provided, however, that after any such
approval of this Agreement by a Party’s stockholders, no amendment shall be made which by Law requires further approval of such
stockholders without the further approval of such stockholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing
signed on behalf of each of the Company, Merger Sub and Parent.
11.3
Waiver.
(a)
Any provision hereof may be waived by the waiving Party
solely on such Party’s own behalf, without the consent of any other Party. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise any
power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Party in exercising any power, right, privilege
or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise
of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege
or remedy.
(b)
No Party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising
out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right,
privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Party and any such waiver
shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.
84
11.4
Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Exchanges by Electronic Transmission or Facsimile. This Agreement
and the other schedules, exhibits, certificates, instruments and agreements referred to in this Agreement constitute the entire agreement
and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the Parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded and shall
remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms; provided, further, that only Exhibit C (including Exhibit
A to such Exhibit) is incorporated by reference and made a part hereof for purposes of Section 251 of the DGCL. This Agreement may be
executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by all Parties by facsimile or electronic transmission in PDF
format shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
11.5
Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws.
In any action or proceeding between any of the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions,
each of the Parties: (a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State
of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or
proceeding shall be heard and determined exclusively in accordance with clause (a) of this Section 11.5, (c) waives any objection
to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in such courts, (d) waives any objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum
or do not have jurisdiction over any Party, (e) agrees that service of process upon such Party in any such action or proceeding shall
be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 11.7 of this Agreement and (f) irrevocably and unconditionally waives
the right to trial by jury.
11.6
Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely
to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither this
Agreement nor any of a Party’s rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by such Party without the prior written
consent of the other Party, and any attempted assignment or delegation of this Agreement or any of such rights or obligations by such
Party without the other Party’s prior written consent shall be void and of no effect.
11.7
Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed
to have been duly delivered and received hereunder (a) one (1) Business Day after being sent for next Business Day delivery, fees prepaid,
via a reputable international overnight courier service, (b) upon delivery in the case of delivery by hand or (c) on the date delivered

11.8
Cooperation. Each Party agrees to cooperate fully with the other Party and to execute and deliver
such further documents, certificates, agreements and instruments and to take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the
other Party to evidence or reflect the Contemplated Transactions and to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
11.9
Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation
in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity
or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the
court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace
such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the
invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court
does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision
with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of
such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
86
11.10
Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies
herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by
law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy; provided,
however, that in no event shall any Party be liable to another Party for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special, exemplary
or punitive damages (including damages for loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of use, or loss of business opportunity), whether based
on contract, tort, strict liability, or any other theory, even if such Party had been advised of the possibility of such damages. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including Section 10.2), no Party shall be entitled to
recover any damages, or to bring or maintain any claim, action, or proceeding against another Party, based upon or arising out of any
inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of such other Party contained in this Agreement to the extent such Party had
Knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach as of the date of this Agreement and nevertheless elected to execute and deliver this Agreement;
provided that this limitation shall apply to claims for damages, whether characterized as claims for breach of contract, fraud
(other than intentional fraud committed with the intent to deceive), negligent misrepresentation, or any other theory of recovery, but
shall not limit any Party’s right to specific performance or injunctive relief as otherwise provided in this Section 11.10.
The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur
in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms (including failing
to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed
that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions hereof in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent such court does not have subject
matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, this
being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and each of the Parties waives any bond, surety
or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Each of the Parties further agrees that it will not
oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other Party has an adequate
remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.
11.11
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall
confer upon any Person (other than the Parties and the D&O Indemnified Parties to the extent of their respective rights pursuant
to Section 6.7) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

a) Dividends.
Holders shall be entitled to receive, and the Corporation shall pay, cumulative dividends at the rate per share (as a percentage of the
Stated Value per share) of eight percent (8.0%) per annum, payable on each Conversion Date (with respect only to Preferred Stock being
converted) (each such date, a “Dividend Payment Date”) in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect in accordance with Section 6(c)(i) herein, (the dollar amount to be paid
in shares of Common Stock, the “Dividend Share Amount”).Dividends accrued on the Preferred Stock may be included in
an optional conversion by the Holder on each Conversion Date. No other dividends shall be paid on shares of Preferred Stock.
b) Dividend
Calculations. Dividends on the Preferred Stock shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and shall accrue daily commencing
on the Original Issue Date, and shall be deemed to accrue from such date whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are
profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. Dividends shall cease to accrue with
respect to any Preferred Stock converted, provided that, the Corporation actually delivers the Conversion Shares within the time period
required by Section 6(c)(i) herein.

Fees. Any dividends, whether paid in cash or shares of Common Stock, that are not paid within three Trading Days following a Dividend
Payment Date shall continue to accrue and shall entail a late fee, which must be paid in cash, at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per

of the Corporation at such times when the Corporation is in compliance with its payment and other obligations hereunder), nor shall any
distribution be made in respect of, any Junior Securities as long as any dividends due on the Preferred Stock remain unpaid, nor shall
any monies be set aside for or applied to the purchase or redemption (through a sinking fund or otherwise) of any Junior Securities or
shares pari passu with the Preferred Stock.
6
Section
4. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by applicable law and subject to the provisions of
Section 6(d) hereof, Holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote with holders of the Common Stock on all matters that such
holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote upon, in the same manner and with the same effect as the holders of Common Stock, voting
together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class. Subject to the provisions of Section 6(d) hereof, each share of Preferred
Stock shall entitle the Holder thereof to cast that number of votes per share of Preferred Stock as is equal to the Stated Value of such
share of Preferred Stock divided by the Conversion Price, and subject to adjustments for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations,
recapitalizations or other similar transactions following the date hereof (the “Conversion Ratio”). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that under the DGCL the vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class or series,
as applicable, is required to authorize a given action of the Company, the affirmative vote or consent of the Required Holders of the
shares of the Preferred Stock, voting together in the aggregate and not in separate series unless required under the DGCL, represented
at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present or by written consent of the Required Holders (except as otherwise may be required
under the DGCL), voting together in the aggregate and not in separate series unless required under the DGCL, shall constitute the approval
of such action by both the class or the series, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the presence of
a quorum at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which the Preferred Stock is entitled to vote, the number of shares of
Preferred Stock and votes represented by such shares shall be counted on an as converted to Common Stock basis, subject to any limitations
on conversion set forth herein. Holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to written notice of all stockholder meetings or written
consents (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to stockholders) with respect to which they would be entitled to vote,
which notice would be provided pursuant to the Company’s bylaws and the DGCL. As long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding,
the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Preferred
Stock (the “Required Holders”), (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Preferred
Stock or alter or amend this Certificate of Designation, (b) amend its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the Holders, (c) increase the number of authorized shares
of Preferred Stock, or (d) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
Section
5. Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a
“Liquidation”), the Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Corporation
an amount equal to the Stated Value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and any other fees or liquidated damages then due
and owing thereon under this Certificate of Designation, for each share of Preferred Stock before any distribution or payment shall be
made to the holders of any Junior Securities, and if the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts,
then the entire assets to be distributed to the Holders shall be ratably distributed among the Holders in accordance with the respective
amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. A Fundamental Transaction or Change of
Control Transaction shall not be deemed a Liquidation. The Corporation shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation, not less than
forty-five (45) days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each Holder.
7
Section
6. Conversion.
a) Conversions
at Option of Holder. Each share of Preferred Stock, plus accrued and unpaid dividend thereon, shall be convertible, at any time and
from time to time from and after the date that is ninety (90) days following the Original Issue Date (the “Optional Conversion
Standstill Period”) at the option of the Holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 6(d) and Section 6(e)) determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Preferred Stock, plus accrued and
unpaid dividends thereon, by the Conversion Price. For the avoidance of doubt, no Holder shall be permitted to effect any optional conversion
of shares of Preferred Stock during the Optional Conversion Standstill Period. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation
with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”). Each Notice of Conversion
shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, the number
of shares of Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the
conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder
delivers by .pdf via email such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no
Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation
is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type
of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion
shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. To effect conversions of shares of Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not
be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing the shares of Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of
Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares
of Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Shares of Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or redeemed
in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued. The conversion price for the Preferred Stock shall equal
$2.20, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”).
b) Automatic
Conversion. Effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date that is the earlier of (i) the
one (1) year anniversary from the Original Issuance Date (ii) the Merger Closing Date (such date, the “Automatic Conversion
Deadline”), each share of Preferred Stock then outstanding shall automatically convert into a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to the Conversion Ratio (as defined below), subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (the “Automatic Conversion”).
The Corporation shall (i) inform each Holder of the occurrence of the Merger Closing Date, if such date occurs prior to the one (1) year
anniversary of the initial date of issuance and (ii) confirm to each Holder the effective date of the Automatic Conversion, in each case,
within one (1) Business Day of such Automatic Conversion Deadline. In determining the application of the Beneficial Ownership Limitations
solely with respect to the Automatic Conversion, the Corporation shall assume the beneficial ownership for each Holder to be equal to
the Beneficial Ownership Limitiation designated by such Holder on its signature page to the Purchase Agreement, unless the Holder otherwise
informs the Corporation with written notice within two (2) Business Days of Automatic Conversion Deadline of such other beneficial ownership
limitation chosen by the Holder. The Conversion Shares shall be issued as follows:
(i) Converted
Stock that is registered in book entry form shall be automatically cancelled upon the Automatic
Conversion and converted into the corresponding Conversion Shares, which shares shall be
issued in book entry form and without any action on the part of the Holders and shall be
delivered to the Holders within one (1) Business Day of the effectiveness of the Automatic
Conversion.
8
(ii) Converted
Stock that is issued in certificated form shall be deemed converted into the corresponding
Conversion Shares on the date of Automatic Conversion and the Holder’s rights as a
holder of such shares of Converted Stock shall cease and terminate on such date, excepting
only the right to receive certificates representing the Conversion Shares within two (2)
Business Days of the effectiveness of the Automatic Conversion. The Holder shall tender to
the Corporation (or its designated agent) within three (3) Trading Days of the date of the
Automatic Conversion, the stock certificate(s) (duly endorsed) representing such certificated
Converted Stock.
(iii) Notwithstanding
the cancellation of the Converted Stock upon the Automatic Conversion, Holders of Converted
Stock shall continue to have any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or
in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms
of this Certificate of Designation. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights
and remedies for the Corporation’s failure to convert the Converted Stock.
c) Mechanics
of Conversion.
i. Delivery
of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising
the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation
shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion
of the Preferred Stock (including, if the Corporation has given continuous notice pursuant to Section 3(b) for payment of dividends in
shares of Common Stock at least 20 Trading Days prior to the date on which the Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Corporation,
shares of Common Stock representing the payment of accrued dividends otherwise determined pursuant to Section 3(a)), which, on or after
the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends
and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Purchase Agreement). On or after the earlier of (i) the
six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, the Corporation shall deliver the Conversion Shares required
to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 6 electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing
corporation performing similar functions. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement
period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Corporation’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as
in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Conversion.
9
ii. Failure
to Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed
by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any
time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return
to the Holder any original Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation
the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Conversion.
iii. Obligation
Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion
of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder
to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any
action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such
Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other
person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection
with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the
Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against such Holder. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or
all of the Stated Value of its Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any
one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an
injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Preferred Stock of such Holder
shall have been sought and obtained. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares and, if applicable,
cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Corporation fails to deliver to a Holder such Conversion Shares pursuant to Section
6(c)(i) by the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Corporation shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Stated Value of Preferred Stock being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per
Trading Day on the third Trading Day) for each Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such Conversion Shares are delivered or
Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare a Triggering Event
pursuant to Section 10 hereof for the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and
such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation,
a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to
enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
10
iv. Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder,
if the Corporation fails for any reason to deliver to a Holder the applicable Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to
Section 6(c)(i), and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm 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 such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery
Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Corporation shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available
to or elected by such Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions)
for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was
entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such
purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered)
the shares of Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Preferred Stock submitted for conversion (in which case, such conversion
shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation
had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6(c)(i). For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having
a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Preferred Stock with respect
to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation
was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000.
The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon
request of the Corporation, 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 Corporation’s failure to timely deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the shares of Preferred
Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
11
v. Reservation
of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and payment of dividends
on the Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons
other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Preferred Stock), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock
as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and
restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and payment of dividends hereunder.
The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public
resale in accordance with such Registration Statement.
vi. Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock.
As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation 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 Conversion
Price or round up to the next whole share. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but consistent with the provisions
of this subsection with respect to fractional Conversion Shares, nothing shall prevent any Holder from converting fractional shares of
Preferred Stock.
vii. Transfer
Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder
for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided
that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and
delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Preferred Stock and
the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the
issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation
that such tax has been paid. The Corporation shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion
and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for
same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.
12
d) Beneficial
Ownership Limitation. The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right
to convert any portion of the Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable
Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such
Holder or any of such 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 such Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares
of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Stated Value of Preferred Stock beneficially owned
by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion
of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein
(including, without limitation, the Preferred Stock) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties.
Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained
in this Section 6(d) applies, the determination of whether the Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned
by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of how many shares of Preferred Stock are convertible shall
be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination
of whether the shares of Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates
and Attribution Parties) and how many shares of the Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers
a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Corporation
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 6(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Corporation’s most recent
periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or
(iii) a more recent written notice by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to such 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 Corporation, including the Preferred Stock, by such 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 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 conversion of Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder.
A Holder, upon notice to the Corporation, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 6(d)
applicable to its Preferred Stock 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 conversion of this Preferred
Stock held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 6(d) shall continue to apply. Any such increase in the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation and shall only apply
to such Holder and no other Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in
strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent
with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein 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 Preferred Stock.
13
Section
7. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock
Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while this Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend
or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock
Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of,
or payment of a dividend on, this Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares,
(iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv)
issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion
Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury
shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(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 7(a) above, if at any time the Corporation 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 conversion of such Holder’s Preferred Stock (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 or the Issuable Maximum, 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 or the Issuable Maximum).
d) Pro
Rata Distributions. During such time as this Preferred Stock is outstanding, if the Corporation declares or makes 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 Preferred Stock, 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 conversion of this Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion 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, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution
would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or the Issuable Maximum, 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 or the Issuable Maximum).
14
e) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more
related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person, (ii) the Corporation (and all
of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), 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 Corporation 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 Common Stock, (iv) the Corporation, 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 Corporation, 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 or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person
acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any
subsequent conversion of this Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have
been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation
in Section 6(d) and Section 6(e) on the conversion of this Preferred Stock), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or
acquiring corporation or of the Corporation, 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 Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in
Section 6(d) and Section 6(e) on the conversion of this Preferred Stock). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the
Conversion 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 Corporation shall apportion the Conversion
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 conversion of this
Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor
to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designation with the same terms
and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’
right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The Corporation shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental
Transaction in which the Corporation is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the
obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(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 Preferred Stock a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument
substantially similar in form and substance to this Preferred Stock which is convertible 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 conversion
of this Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Preferred Stock) prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
and with a conversion price which applies the conversion 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 conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Preferred
Stock 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 Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction
Documents referring to the “Corporation” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power
of the Corporation and shall assume all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction
Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Corporation herein.
15
f) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 7 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 7, 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 any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.
g) Notice
to the Holders.
i. Adjustment
to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall
promptly deliver to each Holder by email a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice
to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the
Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the
Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of 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 Corporation shall be required in connection
with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), or any compulsory share
exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary
or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause
to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be delivered
by email to each Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at least twenty (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
hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Corporation or any of the Subsidiaries, the Corporation
shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled
to convert the Conversion Amount of this Preferred Stock (or any part hereof) during the twenty (20) day period commencing on the date
of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

into and perform this Agreement.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of, and as a condition to, Parent entering into the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder, Parent and the Company
agree as follows:
1.
Certain Definitions. Capitalized terms used but
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement. For all purposes of this Agreement, the
following terms shall have the following respective meanings:
(a)
“Shares” means (i) all shares of
Company Capital Stock owned, beneficially or of record, by the Stockholder as of the date hereof, (ii) all additional shares of Company
Capital Stock acquired by the Stockholder, beneficially or of record, during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and expiring on the Expiration Date (as defined below) and (iii) any shares of capital stock or other equity securities

(including any proxy) after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and expiring on the Expiration Date, whether by exercise of
any Company Options or otherwise, including, without limitation, by gift, succession, in the event of a stock split or as a dividend
or distribution of any Shares.
(b)
“Transfer” or “Transferred”
means, with respect to securities of the Company, the direct assignment, sale, transfer, tender, exchange, pledge or hypothecation, or
the grant, creation or suffrage of a lien, security interest or encumbrance in or upon, or the gift, grant or placement in trust, or

order or other court order, or otherwise by operation of law) or any right, title or interest therein (including any right or power to
vote to which the holder thereof may be entitled, whether such right or power is granted by proxy or otherwise), or the record or beneficial
ownership thereof, the offer to make such a sale, transfer, or other disposition, and each agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether
or not in writing, to effect any of the foregoing; provided, however, that “Transfer” shall not include any
issuance, sale or other disposition by the Stockholder of its own equity interests (including membership interests, partnership interests
or capital stock of the Stockholder).
2.
Transfer and Voting Restrictions. The Stockholder
covenants to the Company and Parent as follows:
(a)
Except as otherwise permitted by Section 2(c),
during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and expiring on the Expiration Date, the Stockholder shall
not Transfer, in the aggregate, such that Stockholder has fewer than fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting rights of the Company after
such Transfer.
Page 1
(b)
Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement (including
aggregate Transfers such that Stockholder has more than fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting rights of the Company after such Transfer)
or otherwise permitted or required or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a Governmental Authority, the Stockholder will
not commit any act that would restrict the Stockholder’s legal power, authority and right to vote all of the Shares held by the
Stockholder or otherwise prevent or disable the Stockholder from performing any of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for this Agreement, the Stockholders’ Agreement of the Company, dated
as of October 15, 2024, and as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, the Stockholder shall not enter into any voting agreement with
any person or entity with respect to any of the Stockholder’s Shares, grant any person or entity any proxy (revocable or irrevocable)
or power of attorney with respect to any of the Shares, deposit any Shares in a voting trust or otherwise enter into any agreement or
arrangement with any person or entity limiting or affecting the Stockholder’s legal power, authority or right to execute and deliver
the Company Stockholder Written Consent.
(c)
Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement (including
aggregate Transfers such that Stockholder has more than fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting rights of the Company after such Transfer)
or otherwise permitted or required by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a Governmental Authority, the Stockholder will not
enter into any Contract, option, commitment or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the direct Transfer of any right, title
or interest (including any right or power to vote to which the holder thereof may be entitled whether such right or power is granted
by proxy or otherwise) to any Shares or take any action that would reasonably be expected to make any representation or warranty of such
Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of restricting the Stockholder’s legal power, authority and
right to vote all of the Shares or would otherwise prevent or disable such Stockholder from performing any of such Stockholder’s
obligations under this Agreement.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary,
the Stockholder may, at any time, Transfer Shares (i) to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the Stockholder,
the investment adviser or managing member of the Stockholder, or an entity under common control or management with the Stockholder (in
each case, directly or indirectly), (ii) by pro rata distributions from the Stockholder to its members, partners, or shareholders pursuant
to the Stockholder’s organizational documents, (iii) with respect to the Stockholder’s Company Options (and any Shares underlying
such Company Options) which expire on or prior to the Expiration Date, Transfers of Shares (or effecting a “net exercise”
of a Company Option) as payment for the (a) exercise price of such Stockholder’s Company Options and (b) taxes applicable to the
exercise of such Stockholder’s Company Options, (iv) transfers to another holder of capital stock of the Company that has signed
a support agreement that is reasonably acceptable to Parent, (v) transfers, sales or other dispositions as Parent may otherwise agree
in writing in its sole discretion, (vi) purchased from the Company on or about the Closing Date but prior to the Closing, or (vii) to
the extent required by applicable Law; provided, that in the cases of clauses (i)-(iv), (1) such Transferred Shares shall continue
to be bound by this Agreement and (2) the applicable direct transferee (if any) of such Transferred Shares shall have executed and delivered
to Parent and the Company a support agreement substantially identical to this Agreement, or a joinder agreement hereto agreeing to be
bound as if such transferee was an original party hereto upon consummation of the Transfer; provided, however, that the
Stockholder shall have no responsibility or liability for any act or omission by a transferee of Shares if such transferee had executed
and delivered either a joinder agreement thereto or a standalone support agreement in substantially the same form as this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, the issuance or transfer of equity interests of the Stockholder
by the Stockholder or its equityholders shall not be restricted by the Transfer limitations set forth herein, notwithstanding that it
might constitute an indirect Transfer of Shares.
(e)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing
in this Agreement shall obligate the Stockholder to exercise any option or any other right to acquire any shares of Company Capital Stock.
Page 2
3.
Agreement to Vote Shares. The Stockholder covenants
to the Company and Parent as follows:
(a)
Until the Expiration Date, at any meeting of the stockholders
of the Company, however called, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent
of the stockholders of the Company, the Stockholder shall (i) appear at such meeting as present (in person or by proxy) for purposes
of calculating a quorum and (ii) vote, or exercise its right to consent with respect to, all Shares held by the Stockholder (A) in favor
of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including any matter that could reasonably be
expected to facilitate the Contemplated Transactions and (B) against any Acquisition Proposals, or any agreement, transaction or other
matter that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or materially and adversely affect
the consummation of the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions. Stockholder shall not take or commit or agree to take any action
inconsistent with the foregoing.
(b)
The Stockholder represents, as of the date hereof, that
the Stockholder is sole beneficial owner and record holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, and accordingly
the Stockholder agrees to take all actions necessary to cause the record holder and any nominees to be present (in person or by proxy)
and vote all the Stockholder’s Shares in accordance with this Section 3.
(c)
In the event of a stock split, stock dividend or distribution,
or any change in the capital stock of the Company by reason of any split-up, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification,
reincorporation, exchange of shares or the like, the term “Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares as
well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of such shares may be changed
or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.
4.
Action in Stockholder Capacity Only. The Stockholder
is entering into this Agreement solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as a record holder and/or beneficial owner, as applicable,
of its Shares and not in the Stockholder’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company. Nothing herein shall limit or affect
the Stockholder’s ability to act as an officer or director of the Company.
5.
Irrevocable Proxy. In the event and to the extent
that the Stockholder fails to vote the Shares in accordance with Section 3 at any applicable meeting of the stockholders of the
Company or pursuant to any applicable written consent of the stockholders of the Company, the Stockholder shall be deemed to have irrevocably
granted to, and appointed, the Company, and any individual designated in writing by it, and each of them individually, as his, her or
its proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in its name, place and stead, to vote his, her or its Shares
in any action by written consent of Company stockholders or at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders called with respect to
any of the matters specified in, and in accordance and consistent with, Section 3 of this Agreement. The Company agrees not to
exercise the proxy granted herein for any purpose other than the purposes described in this Agreement and the Stockholder affirms that
the proxy set forth in this Section 5 is given in connection with, and granted in consideration of, and as an inducement to the
Company, Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement and that such proxy is given to secure the obligations of the Stockholder
under Section 3. Except as otherwise provided for herein, the Stockholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy is coupled
with an interest and may under no circumstances be revoked and that such irrevocable proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable.
The irrevocable proxy and power of attorney granted herein shall survive the death or incapacity of such Stockholder and the obligations
of such Stockholder shall be binding on such Stockholder’s heirs, personal representatives, successors, transferees and assigns.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the irrevocable proxy granted hereunder shall automatically terminate upon the
termination of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement.
6.
No Solicitation. Subject to Section 4,
the Stockholder agrees not to, including through any of its officers, directors or agents, cause or permit the Company to take any action
that the Company is prohibited from taking pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement (subject to the exceptions set forth therein).
7.
Documentation and Information. The Stockholder
shall permit and hereby authorizes Parent and the Company to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC,
and any press release or other disclosure document that Parent or the Company reasonably determines to be necessary in connection with
the Merger and any of the Contemplated Transactions, a copy of this Agreement, the Stockholder’s identity and ownership of the
Shares and the nature of the Stockholder’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement; provided, that, Parent

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, such
party has full power, legal capacity and authority to make, enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement.

This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by such party and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto) constitutes a valid
and binding agreement enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. The execution and
delivery of this Agreement by such party and the performance by it of the agreements and obligations hereunder will not result in any
breach or violation of or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any term of any Contract or if applicable any provision of
an organizational document (including a certificate of incorporation) to or by which it is a party or bound, or any applicable law to
which it (or any of its assets) is subject or bound, except for any such breach, violation, conflict or default which, individually or

obligations under this Agreement.
(d)
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
by such party do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, action by, filing with or notification to,
any Governmental Authority, except for any such consent, approval, authorization, permit, action, filing or notification the failure
of which to make or obtain, individually or in the aggregate, has not and would not materially impair its ability to perform its obligations
under this Agreement.
(e)
As of the date hereof, there is no action, suit, investigation
or proceeding pending against, or, to the knowledge of such party, threatened against, such party or any of its properties or assets
(including the Shares) that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair the ability of such party to perform
its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

of the parties to terminate this Agreement (clauses (a)-(c), the “Expiration Date”); provided, however,

Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)
Amendments. No amendment of this Agreement shall be effective against any party unless it shall be in writing and signed by each
of the parties hereto.
(b)
Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Exchanges by Electronic Transmission or Facsimile. This Agreement and the other schedules, exhibits,
certificates, instruments and agreements referred to in this Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties to this Agreement
and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded and shall
remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts
or otherwise) by all parties hereto by facsimile or electronic transmission in PDF format shall be sufficient to bind the parties hereto
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(c)
Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws. In any action or proceeding
between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the parties:
(i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State
of Delaware or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or the
United States District Court for the District of Delaware, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall
be heard and determined exclusively in accordance with clause (i) of this Section 11(c), (iii) waives any objection to laying
venue in any such action or proceeding in such courts, (iv) waives any objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or do not
have jurisdiction over any party, (v) agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective
if notice is given in accordance with Section 11(h) of this Agreement and (vi) irrevocably and unconditionally waives the right
to trial by jury.
(d)
Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the parties
and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any of a party’s
rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by such party without the prior written consent of the other parties, and
any attempted assignment or delegation of this Agreement or any of such rights or obligations by such party without the other parties’
prior written consent shall be void and of no effect.
(e)
No Third Party Rights. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person any right,
benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
(f)
Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of
the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination
shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a
term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term
or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted
to it in the prior sentence, the parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable
term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable
term or provision.

(g)
Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be
deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise
by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy; provided, however, that in no event shall
any party be liable to another party for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special, exemplary or punitive damages (including damages
for loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of use, or loss of business opportunity), whether based on contract, tort, strict liability,
or any other theory, even if such party had been advised of the possibility of such damages. The parties agree that irreparable damage
for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any of the provisions of
this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms (including failing to take such actions as are required of
it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to
an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court
of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy
to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and each of the parties waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required
of any other party with respect thereto. Each of the parties further agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific
performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance
is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.
(h)
Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly delivered and
received hereunder (i) one (1) Business Day after being sent for next Business Day delivery, fees prepaid, via a reputable international

FORM
OF LOCK-UP AGREEMENT
[●],
2026
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
The
undersigned signatory of this lock-up agreement (this “Lock-Up Agreement’’) understands that Pulmatrix, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), is entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of [●], 2026 (as
the same may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with PUOS Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation
and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and Eos SENOLYTIX, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Capitalized
terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.
As
a condition and inducement to each of the parties to enter into the Merger Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated
thereby, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned
hereby irrevocably agrees that, subject to the exceptions set forth herein, without the prior written consent of Parent, the undersigned
will not, during the period commencing upon the Closing and ending on the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date (the “Restricted

(1)
offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option,
right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Parent Common Stock or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Parent Common Stock (including without limitation, shares of Parent Common
Stock or such other securities of Parent which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules
and regulations of the SEC and securities of Parent which may be issued upon exercise or vesting, as applicable, of a stock option or
warrant or settlement of a restricted stock unit or restricted stock award and Parent Common Stock or such other securities to be issued
to the undersigned in connection with the Merger, in each case, that are currently or hereafter owned of record or beneficially (including
holding as a custodian)) by the undersigned, except as set forth below (collectively, the “Undersigned’s Shares”);
(2)
enter into any swap, short sale, hedge or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership
of the Undersigned’s Shares regardless of whether any such transaction described in clause (1) above or this clause (2) is to be
settled by delivery of shares of Parent Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise;
(3)
make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Parent Common Stock or any security convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Parent Common Stock (other than such rights set forth in the Merger Agreement); or
(4)
except for any support agreement entered into as of the date hereof by the undersigned with Parent and the Company, grant any proxies
or powers of attorney with respect to any Parent Common Stock, deposit any Parent Common Stock into a voting trust or enter into a voting
agreement or similar arrangement or commitment with respect to any Parent Common Stock; or
(5)
publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

family member of the undersigned, or by marriage or domestic partnership (a “Family Member”), or to a trust formed
for the benefit of the undersigned or any of the undersigned’s Family Members, (B) to the undersigned’s estate, following

by operation of Law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement or (E) to any partnership,
corporation, limited liability company or other entity, in each case, the beneficial ownership interests of all of which are held by
or otherwise under common control (via beneficial ownership, contract or otherwise) with the undersigned or a Family Member of the undersigned;
(ii)
if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, (A) to another corporation, partnership,
limited liability company or other entity that is a direct or indirect affiliate (as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) of

is controlled or managed by, the undersigned (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where the undersigned is a partnership, to its general
partner or a successor partnership or fund, or any other funds managed by such partnership), (B) as a distribution or dividend to equity
holders, current or former partners, members, stockholders or managers (or to the estates of any of the foregoing), as applicable, of
the undersigned (including upon the liquidation and dissolution of the undersigned pursuant to a plan of liquidation approved by the
undersigned’s equity holders), (C) as a bona fide gift or a charitable contribution, as such term is described in Section 501(c)(3)

provided
that, in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to this clause (a), such transfer is not for value (other than transfers pursuant
to clauses (a)(i)(A), (a)(i)(E) or (a)(ii)(A) hereto) and each donee, heir, beneficiary or other transferee or distributee shall sign
and deliver to Parent either a joinder hereto agreeing to be bound hereby as if he, she or it was an original party hereto, or a lock-up
agreement in the form of this Lock-Up Agreement, with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock or such other securities that have
been so transferred or distributed and if a filing pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act is required, such filing shall describe
the nature of the transfer or distribution; provided, further, that the transferor pursuant to this clause (a) shall not
be responsible or liable for any act or omission by its transferee or distributee in the event that such transferee or distributee signs
and delivers a joinder hereto or a standalone lock-up agreement in substantially the form of this Lock-Up Agreement;
(b)
the exercise of an option to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock (including a net or cashless exercise of an option to purchase shares

options or for paying taxes (including estimated taxes) due as a result of the exercise of such options or for paying taxes (including
estimated taxes) due as a result of the exercise of such options; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the other underlying
shares of Parent Common Stock which were subject to such option shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth
in this Lock-Up Agreement;
(c)
transfers to Parent or any other Person (to the extent permitted under applicable Law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Securities
Act) in connection with the net settlement of any other equity award that represents the right to receive in the future shares of Parent

of doubt, the other underlying shares of Parent Common Stock which were subject to such right to receive future shares shall continue
to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Lock-Up Agreement;
(d)

(g)
transfers pursuant to a bona-fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of
Parent’s capital stock involving a change of control of Parent, provided that in the event that such tender offer, merger,

in this Lock-Up Agreement;
(h)

(k)
transfers, distributions sales or other transactions to any Person if the closing price on Parent Common Stock equals or exceeds 150%
of the closing price on the Closing Date for any ten (10) consecutive trading days, and upon the occurrence of an event described in
this clause (k), this Lock-Up Agreement shall be of no further force or effect; or
(l)
pledges of the Undersigned’s Shares as collateral for a bona fide loan or margin agreement; provided that any foreclosure or other
transfer of such pledged Shares shall remain subject to the restrictions of this Lock-Up Agreement;
provided,
that, with respect to each of (b), (c), and (d) above, no filing by any party (including any donor, donee, transferor, transferee, distributor
or distributee) under Section 16 of the Exchange Act or other public announcement shall be made voluntarily reporting a reduction in
beneficial ownership of shares of Parent Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Parent Common
Stock in connection with such transfer or disposition during the Restricted Period (other than any exit filings) and if any filings under
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, or other public filing, report or announcement reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares
of Parent Common Stock in connection with such transfer or distribution, shall be legally required during the Restricted Period, such
filing, report or announcement shall clearly indicate in the footnotes therein, in reasonable detail, a description of the circumstances
of the transfer and that the shares remain subject to this Lock-Up Agreement.
For
purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “change of control” shall mean the transfer (whether by tender offer, merger, consolidation
or other similar transaction), in one transaction or a series of related transactions to a person or group of affiliated persons, of
the Parent’s voting securities if, after such transfer, the Parent’s stockholders as of immediately prior to such transfer
do not hold a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Parent (or the surviving entity).
Any
attempted transfer in violation of this Lock-Up Agreement will be of no effect and null and void, regardless of whether the purported
transferee has any actual or constructive knowledge of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Lock-Up Agreement, and will not be
recorded on the share register of Parent. In furtherance of the foregoing, the undersigned agrees that Parent and any duly appointed
transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described herein are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer
of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Lock-Up Agreement. Parent may cause the legend set forth
below, or a legend substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) or other documents, ledgers or instruments
evidencing the undersigned’s ownership of Parent Common Stock; provided that Parent shall promptly remove such legend and
any related stop transfer instructions upon the expiration of the Restricted Period:
THE
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AND MAY ONLY BE TRANSFERRED IN COMPLIANCE WITH A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH
IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.
The
undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement, and
that upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional documents reasonably necessary to ensure the validity or enforcement of
this Lock-Up Agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding
upon the successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives of the undersigned.
The
undersigned understands that if the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason, the undersigned shall be released from all obligations
under this Lock-Up Agreement. The undersigned understands that Parent and the Company are proceeding with the transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement in reliance upon this Lock-Up Agreement.
Any
and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon Parent or the Company will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other
remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity, and the exercise by Parent or the Company of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise
of any other remedy. The undersigned agrees that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, may not be an adequate
remedy, may occur to Parent and/or the Company in the event that any provision of this Lock-Up Agreement was not performed in accordance
with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that Parent and/or the Company shall be entitled to seek
an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Lock-Up Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof
in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Parent or the
Company is entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the parties further agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific
performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance
is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.
In
the event that any holder of Parent’s securities that are subject to a substantially similar agreement entered into by such holder,
other than the undersigned, is permitted by Parent to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of shares of Parent Common Stock for value
other than as permitted by this or a substantially similar agreement entered into by such holder (whether in one or multiple releases
or waivers), the same percentage of shares of Parent Common Stock held by the undersigned on the date of such release or waiver as the
percentage of the total number of outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock held by such holder on the date of such release or waiver
that are the subject of such release or waiver shall be immediately and fully released on the same terms from any remaining restrictions
set forth herein (the “Pro-Rata Release”); provided, however, that such Pro-Rata Release shall not be
applied unless and until permission has been granted by Parent to an equity holder or equity holders to sell or otherwise transfer or
dispose of all or a portion of such equity holders shares of Parent Common Stock in an aggregate amount in excess of 0.5% of the number
of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to a substantially similar agreement. In the event of any Pro-Rata Release, the Company shall
promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days of such release) inform each relevant holder of Parent Common Stock of the terms
of such Pro-Rata Release.
Upon
the release of any of the Undersigned’s Shares from this Lock-Up Agreement, Parent will facilitate the timely preparation and delivery
of certificates or the establishment of book-entry positions at Parent’s transfer agent representing the Undersigned’s Shares
without the restrictive legend above or the withdrawal of any stop transfer instructions.
This
Lock-Up Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of Laws principles thereof. In any action or proceeding
between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Lock-Up Agreement, each of the parties: (i) irrevocably and unconditionally
consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent such

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

modification of any Material Permit.

be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

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

SEC Reports, the Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance

(or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer.

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.

Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms
that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information
that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers
will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by
or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions
contemplated hereby 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.
(aa) 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 any
such Securities 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.
(bb) Solvency.
Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company

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

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.

Underlying 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.

described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification
Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). The Company has exercised reasonable best efforts to determine whether any Issuer Covered
Person is subject to a Disqualification Event by making inquiry of each Issuer Covered Person. The Company has complied, to the extent
applicable, with its disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e), and has furnished to the Purchasers a copy of any disclosures provided
thereunder.
(vv) Other
Covered Persons. Other than the Placement Agent, the Company is not aware of any person (other than any Issuer Covered Person) that
has been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the sale of any Securities.
(ww) Notice
of Disqualification Events. The Company will notify the Purchasers and the Placement Agent in writing, prior to the Closing Date
of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become
a Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person.
22
3.2 Representations
and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as of the
date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case they shall be accurate
as of such date):
(a) Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company
or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise
to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such
Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership,
limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a
party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute
the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited
by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable
law.
(b) Own
Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under
the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with
a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the
distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty
not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
(c) Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which
it converts any shares of Preferred Stock, it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),
(a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), (a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12), or (a)(13) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer”
as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.
(d) Experience
of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience
in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities,
and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e) General
Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not, to such Purchaser’s knowledge, 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.
23
(f) Access
to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits
and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary
of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities
and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results
of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity
to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary
to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Placement
Agent nor any Affiliate of the Placement Agent has provided such Purchaser with any information or advice with respect to the Securities
nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. Neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate 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.
(g) Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has
any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or
sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first
received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms
of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s
assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other
portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets
managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to
other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors,
partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures
made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty against, or a prohibition of, preclude
any actions, with respect to the locating or borrowing of, arrangement to borrow, identification of the availability of, and/or securing
of, securities of the Company shares in order for such Purchaser (or its broker or other financial representative) to effect Short Sales
or similar transactions in the future .
24
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 Transfer
Restrictions.
(a) The
Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities
other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection
with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company 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 Securities under the
Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and
the Voting Agreements and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Voting Agreements.
(b) The
Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following
form:
[NEITHER]
THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [CONVERTIBLE] 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 [CONVERSION]
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.
25
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered
broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor”
as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer
pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company
and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no
notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable
documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a
registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities
Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under
Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as
to such Underlying Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements
of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall
cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser promptly after the Effective Date if required by the
Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a Purchaser, respectively. If all or any shares of Preferred
Stock are converted at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such
Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under
Rule 144, or if the Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the
current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Underlying Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions 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 Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees
that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than
the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day 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 Underlying Shares 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. Certificates
for Underlying 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 Underlying
Shares issued with a restrictive legend.
26
(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 Underlying 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 five (5) 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 Securities 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 (x) such number of Underlying Shares that the Company was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend Removal
Date multiplied by (y) 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 Underlying Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such
delivery and payment under this clause (ii).
(e) Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell any Securities
pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or
an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the
plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities
as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.
27
4.2 Acknowledgment
of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under
the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents,
are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of
any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may
have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
4.3 Furnishing
of Information; Public Information.
(a) Until the such time that no Purchaser owns Securities, the Company covenants to maintain the
registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect
thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to
the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
(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 Securities 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 Securities,
an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount of such Purchaser’s Securities 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 Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled
pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information
Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure
Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information
Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, 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.
28
4.4 Integration.
The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in
Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the
registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities 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.
4.5 Conversion
Procedures. The form of Notice of Conversion included in the Certificate of Designation sets forth the totality of the procedures
required of the Purchasers in order to convert the Preferred Stock. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice
of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion
form be required in order to convert the Preferred Stock. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required
of the Purchasers to convert their Preferred Stock. The Company shall honor conversions of the Preferred Stock and shall deliver Underlying
Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.
4.6 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,
agents, 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 (i) the Registration Statement and (ii) 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.
29
4.7 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.
4.8
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 4.6, 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, director, 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.

proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes and shall not use the remainder of the net proceeds from the sale of
the Securities unless otherwise consented to by majority of the Purchasers, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld
or conditioned. From and after the date of the consummation of the Merger, the Company shall use the remainder of the net proceeds from
the sale of the Securities for general corporate purposes and working capital. Upon any termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance
with its terms, the Company shall be authorized and entitled, without further action or consent by the Purchasers, to retain and use
the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.
30
4.10 Indemnification
of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, 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). 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 (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable
period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) 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 (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior
written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) 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 4.10
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.
4.11 Reservation
and Listing of Securities. The Company shall maintain a reserve of the Required Minimum from its duly authorized shares of Common
Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under
the Transaction Documents.
31
4.12 [Reserved.]
4.13 [Reserved.]
4.14 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.
4.15 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 4.6. 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 4.6,
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 4.6, (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 4.6 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 4.6. 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.

D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities 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 Securities 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.
4.17. Registration Statement. As soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event, within
sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, the Company shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or other appropriate form if
the Company is not then S-3 eligible) providing for the resale by the Purchasers of the Underlying Shares issued and issuable upon conversion
of the Preferred Stock. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective
following the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the Commission within one hundred twenty days (120) following the Closing
Date and to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times until no Purchaser owns any shares of Preferred Stock or Underlying
Shares issuable upon conversion thereof.

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

of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation,

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 Preferred Stock 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% 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.
5.6 Headings.
The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.
5.7 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser
(other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns
or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities,
by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”
5.8 No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Placement Agent shall be the third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of the
Company in Section 3.1 hereof and with respect to the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2 hereof. 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 4.10 and this Section 5.8.
34
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 4.10, 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.
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.
35
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 a conversion of the Preferred Stock, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any
such rescinded conversion.
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 Usury.
To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will
resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter
in force, in connection with any Action or Proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under
any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed
and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not
exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing,
in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest
that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract
rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental
action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to
the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any
circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness
evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness
or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.
36
5.18 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. The
Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not
because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained
in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company
and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.19 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.
5.20 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.
5.21 Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents
and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall
not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to
share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits,
stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.
5.22 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH
KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND
EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

AGREEMENT
This
VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 26, 2026, is entered into by and between the undersigned
stockholder (the “Stockholder”) of Pulmatrix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
the Company. The Company and the Stockholder are each sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively
as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in
the Purchase Agreement (as defined below).
RECITALS
A.
Concurrently with or following the execution of this Agreement, the Company has entered, or will enter, into a Securities Purchase Agreement
(as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), providing for, among other things, the issuance
of the Securities (as defined therein) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and the Transaction Documents.
B.
In order to induce entry into the Purchase Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency
of which is hereby acknowledged, the Stockholder hereby makes certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements as set forth
in this Agreement with respect to the shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share
(“Preferred Stock”) Beneficially Owned (as defined below) by the Stockholder (the “Original Shares”
and, together with any Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the “Shares”).
AGREEMENT
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1.
Definitions.
When used in this Agreement, the following terms in all of their tenses, cases, and correlative forms shall have the meanings assigned
to them in this Section 1.
(a)
“Beneficially Own” or “Beneficial Ownership” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3
under the 1934 Act, and a Person’s beneficial ownership of securities shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of
such rule (in each case, irrespective of whether or not such rule is actually applicable in such circumstance). For the avoidance of
doubt, “Beneficially Own” and “Beneficial Ownership” shall also include record ownership of securities.
(b)
“Beneficial Owner” shall mean the Person who Beneficially Owns the referenced securities.
2.
Representations of Stockholder.
The Stockholder represents and warrants to the Company that (a) the Stockholder has requisite organizational power and authority to enter
into, execute, and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder (including the proxy described
in Section 3(b) below). And (b) this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and, when signed
by the other party, constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights.
3.
Agreement to Vote Shares; Irrevocable Proxy.
(a)
Agreement to Vote and Approve. The Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees during the term of this Agreement, at any
annual or special meeting of the Company called with respect to matters the Board has recommended the stockholders of the Company vote
in favor of, including but not limited to, any matters as related to the Merger and the Merger Agreement (the “Requisite Stockholder
Approval”), and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent or consents
of the Company stockholders with respect to such matter, to vote or cause the holder of record to vote the Shares in favor of providing
the Requisite Stockholder Approval.
(b)
Irrevocable Proxy. In the event and to the extent that the Stockholder fails to vote the Shares in accordance with Section
3(a) at any applicable meeting of the stockholders of the Company or pursuant to any applicable written consent of the stockholders
of the Company, the Stockholder shall be deemed to have irrevocably granted to, and appointed, the Company, and any individual designated
in writing by it, and each of them individually, as his, her or its proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for
and in its name, place and stead, to vote his, her or its Shares in any action by written consent of Company stockholders or at any meeting
of the Company’s stockholders called with respect to any of the matters specified in, and in accordance and consistent with, Section
3(a) of this Agreement. The Company agrees not to exercise the proxy granted herein for any purpose other than the purposes described
in this Agreement and the Stockholder affirms that the proxy set forth in this Section 3(b) is given in connection with, and granted
in consideration of, and as an inducement to the parties to the Merger Agreement to enter into the Merger Agreement and that such proxy
is given to secure the obligations of the Stockholder under Section 3(a). Except as otherwise provided for herein, the Stockholder
hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest and may under no circumstances be revoked and that such irrevocable
proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable. The irrevocable proxy and power of attorney granted herein shall survive the death
or incapacity of such Stockholder and the obligations of such Stockholder shall be binding on such Stockholder’s heirs, personal
representatives, successors, transferees and assigns. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the irrevocable proxy granted
hereunder shall automatically terminate upon the termination of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, or the occurrence of the End Date
(as defined in the Merger Agreement).
4.
No Voting Trusts or Other Arrangement.
The Stockholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement the Stockholder will not, and will not permit any entity under the Stockholder’s
control to, deposit any of the Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxies with respect to the Shares, or subject any of the Shares to
any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Shares other than agreements entered into with the Company.
5.
Transfer and Encumbrance. The Stockholder
agrees that for a period commencing upon the execution of the Purchase Agreement and ending at the Expiration Time, the Stockholder will
not, directly or indirectly transfer, sell, offer, exchange, assign, pledge, convey any legal or Beneficial Ownership interest in or
otherwise dispose of (by merger (including by conversion into securities or other consideration), by tendering into any tender or exchange
offer), or encumber (“Transfer”) any of the Shares or enter into any contract, option, or other agreement with respect
to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any of the Shares or the Stockholder’s voting or economic interest therein. Any attempted Transfer
of Shares or any interest therein in violation of this Section 5 shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither
this Section 5 nor any other provision hereof shall prohibit, limit or restrict (a) indirect Transfers by means of transferring
any shares of capital stock of the Company or any other entity, other than the Shares, it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt,
that any transfers of equity interests of the Stockholder or the equity interests of the Stockholder’s direct or indirect equityholders
shall be expressly permitted by this Agreement without liability hereunder, nor the consent of, or notice to, any other person hereunder,
or (b) a Transfer or Transfers of the Shares by the Stockholder to (i) any member of the Stockholder’s immediate family, (ii) to
a trust for the benefit of the Stockholder or any member of the Stockholder’s immediate family, (iii) upon the death of the Stockholder
or (iv) to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Stockholder.
6.
Additional Shares. In the event of any
stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares, or the like
of the capital stock of the Company affecting the Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities and such
resulting securities shall be deemed to be “Shares” for all purposes of this Agreement.
7.
Termination. This Agreement shall terminate
upon the earliest to occur of (the “Expiration Time”): (a) the date on which the Purchase Agreement is terminated
in accordance with its terms; (b) the termination of this Agreement by mutual written consent of the Parties; (c) the date on which the
Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained; and (d) the End Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement). Nothing in this Section 7
shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party for any intentional breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.
8.
Further Assurances. The Stockholder agrees,
from time to time, and without additional consideration, to execute and deliver such additional proxies, documents, and other instruments
and to take all such further action as the Company may reasonably request to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.
9.
Stop Transfer Instructions. At all times
commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the Expiration Time, in furtherance of this Agreement,
the Stockholder hereby authorizes the Company or its counsel to notify the Company’s transfer agent that there is a stop transfer
order with respect to all of the Shares (and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and transfer of the Shares), subject to
the provisions hereof and provided that any such stop transfer order and notice will immediately be withdrawn and terminated by the Company
following the Expiration Time.
10.
Specific Performance.
Each Party hereto acknowledges that it may be difficult to measure in money the damage to the other Party if a Party hereto fails to
comply with any of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, that every such obligation is material and that, in the event of any such
failure, the other Party will not have an adequate remedy at law or damages. Accordingly, each Party hereto agrees that injunctive relief
or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at law or damages, may be the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not
oppose the seeking of such relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law.
11.
Amendment; Assignment.
No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Stockholder. No Party
to this Agreement may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party
hereto. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties
and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Any assignment contrary to the provisions of this Section 11 shall be null
and void.
12.
No Third Party Beneficiaries.
This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for
the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
13.
Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers
or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to
have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by electronic mail (provided

LLC, and a bridge component for Eos from RCM Eos Holdings, LLC, both managed by Rapha Capital Management, LLC. The net proceeds
are expected to support advancement of Eos’s proprietary MitoXcel™ platform, including its lead clinical candidate,
PTC-2105, for sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity. The proposed Merger has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both
companies and is currently expected to close in mid-2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the stockholders
of each company and the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Following the closing of the proposed Merger and payment of all placement and M&A advisory fees, the pre-Merger Pulmatrix stockholders
are expected to own approximately 6% of the combined company, while pre-Merger Eos stockholders, including investors participating in
the Financings and holders of shares issued in payment of placement agent and M&A advisory fees, are expected to own approximately
94%.
Eos
SENOLYTIX Background and Highlights
The
combined company will be positioned as a leader in the emerging field of gerotherapeutics — medicines that target the root biological
mechanisms of aging to improve healthspan. Strong scientific evidence shows that obesity is associated with aging, and in many cases
can accelerate biological aging. Therapies targeting obesity have expanded rapidly in recent years, with most focused on GLP-1 receptor
agonists, which are associated with both fat and lean mass loss, gastrointestinal side effects, and a rapid “rebound” weight
regain following discontinuation. Unlike GLP-1 receptor agonists that focus on weight reduction alone, Eos’s lead MitoXcel™
clinical candidate, PTC-2105, targets underlying aging-associated mitochondrial dysfunction that in preclinical studies leads
to dramatic improvements in body composition, including reductions in fat mass greater than seen with GLP-1s, increases in lean
mass, and improvements in physical function without reduced food intake or rebound weight gain following discontinuation in animals
approaching one year of treatment with a once-a-week SC injection either as monotherapy or in combination with GLP-1s. PTC-2105 brings
a unique, proprietary alternative to GLP-1s that may provide significant improvements in healthspan when administered either as monotherapy
or in combination with GLP-1s:
● First-in-class
AI-driven geropeptide platform targeting the biology of aging. Eos’s proprietary
MitoXcel™ platform leverages AI-driven mitochondrial peptide design to improve body
composition by increasing lean mass while reducing harmful abdominal/visceral fat, without
directly targeting muscle or fat regulatory pathways, supporting a shift in obesity treatment,
redefining healthy weight loss as the achievement of an optimal body composition rather than
simply an optimal BMI.
● Lead
clinical candidate targeting sarcopenia/sarcopenic obesity and aging-related disease. Eos’s
lead program, PTC-2105, is a mitochondrial-targeted geropeptide designed to both enhance
mitochondrial efficiency and selectively induce apoptotic self-elimination of senescent cells.
In preclinical studies, PTC-2105 has demonstrated improvements in body composition,
including increased lean muscle mass and reduced fat accumulation, along with enhanced physical
performance, supporting a differentiated profile beyond traditional weight-loss approaches.
● Sarcopenia
and sarcopenic obesity represent a large and growing unmet medical need. These conditions
are characterized by progressive loss of muscle mass and function in aging populations, often
accompanied by obesity, affecting tens of millions globally. They are associated with increased
frailty, morbidity, and healthcare burden, with no approved therapies currently available.
While GLP-1 receptor agonists reduce fat, approximately 25–40% of weight loss is lean
mass, underscoring the need for therapies that lead to a healthy weight loss that improves
overall body composition.
● Broad
gerotherapeutic potential across age-related diseases. By targeting mitochondrial dysfunction
and senescent cells, Eos’s MitoXcel™ platform has potential applicability across
multiple age-related diseases beyond sarcopenia, including metabolic, cognitive and neurodegenerative,
and mitochondrial disorders, among many others to improve healthspan.
● Well-capitalized
to advance clinical development. Merger-associated financings are anticipated to support
advancement of the combined company’s pipeline through key clinical milestones.
● Experienced
leadership and scientific team. Eos is led by Kevin Slawin, M.D., Founder and Chief Executive
Officer, a physician-scientist and serial biotechnology entrepreneur with decades of experience
in translational medicine, drug development and company formation. Dr. Slawin was the founder
of Bellicum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., an early pioneer in CAR T cell therapies, and has founded
and is currently leading multiple life sciences ventures focused on aging biology and mitochondrial
therapeutics. He is supported by a team of experienced biotechnology executives, scientists
and advisors with prior leadership roles at major pharmaceutical companies, academic medical
centers and emerging biotechnology firms.
“We
believe the focus in obesity will shift from percentage body weight loss to the composition of that weight loss, including effects on
visceral fat and lean mass, which are important predictors of overall health and long-term survival. In multiple well-controlled preclinical
studies, PTC-2105 reduced overall and visceral fat and increased lean mass in naturally aged mice, while also driving significant
improvements across multiple measures of physical function, all by targeting the underlying mitochondrial-mediated mechanism of aging
experienced by all living organisms.” said Dr. Kevin Slawin, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Eos, who will lead the merged
entity as CEO. “This proposed Merger represents an important step forward in advancing our mission to develop therapies that target
the root causes of aging-related disease, positioning our MitoXcel™ gerotherapeutic platform to advance PTC-2105 and our
broader pipeline toward clinical development,” Slawin added.
Peter
B. Ludlum, Chief Executive Officer of Pulmatrix, said: “We believe this transaction provides Pulmatrix stockholders the opportunity
to participate in the future growth of a company developing a differentiated platform addressing diseases with significant unmet medical
need. Eos’s innovative approach to targeting mitochondrial dysfunction and senescent cells represents a compelling scientific and
strategic opportunity that builds on the recent approval of FORZINITYTM (elamipretide), the first FDA-approved mitochondrial-targeted
therapeutic.”
About
the Proposed Transaction
Under
the terms of the merger agreement, Pulmatrix will acquire Eos pursuant to the Merger. At closing, Eos stockholders will receive newly
issued shares of Pulmatrix common stock, with the exchange ratio to be determined based on the outstanding number of shares of the two
companies at closing. Immediately following closing, the combined company is expected to operate as Eos SENOLYTIX, Inc.

About
Eos SENOLYTIX
Eos
SENOLYTIX is a biotechnology company focused on developing first-in-class gerotherapeutic peptide medicines that target the underlying
biological mechanisms of aging. Eos’s lead clinical candidates, PTC-2105 and PTC-2107, both proprietary MitoXcel™
geropeptides, have demonstrated the ability to rejuvenate naturally aged mice via two separate mechanisms, both via a single, aging-specific
target, the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), also called the “Δψm”. These two mechanisms include (1) the
return of the efficiency of mitochondrial function in aging cells almost immediately back to their younger, more efficient phenotype,
and (2) the profound elimination of senescent cells throughout every organ in the body, including the brain, reducing their negative
systemic inflammatory effects. Extensive preclinical studies suggest the MitoXcel™ platform may be a broad gerotherapeutic that
improves body composition, increasing lean muscle mass, and enhancing physical function in aging animals. By targeting fundamental processes
driving aging and aging-related diseases, Eos SENOLYTIX is pursuing a unique therapeutic opportunity to intervene in the aging process
in ways that were once thought impossible. Eos SENOLYTIX is headquartered in Houston, Texas and operates within the broader SENOTHERAPEUTIX/GEROTHERAPEUTIX
group of longevity companies, which focuses on developing therapeutics targeting fundamental drivers of aging to improve healthspan and
lifespan. For more information, visit https://www.eossenolytix.com
