Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
On March 30, 2026, Aprea Therapeutics, Inc. (the
“Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain
accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers,
and the Purchasers agreed to purchase from the Company (i) pre-funded Common Stock purchase warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”)
to purchase up to approximately 37.2 million shares (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of
the Company (“Common Stock”) at a purchase price per Pre-Funded Warrant equal to $0.808, less the Pre-Funded Warrant
Exercise Price, and (ii) common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to approximately 37.2 million shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”)
at an exercise price of $0.683 per share (the “Common Warrants” and together with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”).
The closing of the private placement (the “Private Placement”) is expected to occur on March 31, 2026, subject to satisfaction
of customary closing conditions (the “Closing Date”). The expected gross proceeds of the Private Placement are approximately
$30 million, before deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
The Common Warrants will be exercisable immediately
until December 31, 2029 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that, if the holder exercises all or any portion
of the holder’s Pre-Funded Warrant, then, with respect to each such exercise of the holder’s Pre-Funded Warrant, the Termination
Date of the Common Warrant with respect to such number of Warrant Shares as correspond to the number of shares of Common Stock issued
upon such exercise of such Pre-Funded Warrant by the holder shall be the thirtieth (30th) calendar day after the date upon
which the holder exercises such Pre-Funded Warrant. If a resale registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock underlying
the Common Warrants is not effective and available at the time of exercise, the Common Warrants may be exercised by means of a “cashless”
exercise formula. The Common Warrants may not be exercised to the extent that immediately following such exercise, the holder would beneficially
own greater than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, greater than 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.
The unfunded exercise price of each Pre-Funded
Warrant will be fixed at a nominal amount of $0.001 per underlying Pre-Funded Warrant Share (the “Pre-Funded
Warrant Exercise Price”). The Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable from the date of issuance until exercised in full
and may not be exercised to the extent that immediately following such exercise, the holder would beneficially own greater than 4.99%
(or, at the election of the holder, greater than 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. The Pre-Funded Warrants may
be exercised by means of a “cashless” exercise formula at any time while outstanding.
The Warrants do not contain any Black Scholes
cash payment obligations, any “price protection” anti-dilution protection or any “price reset” provisions pursuant
to which the exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment or reset at a future date or upon the occurrence of specified or
contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market prices for the Common Stock, or upon any
future issuance or sale by the Company of shares of its capital stock or securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into
shares of the Company’s capital stock at exercise or conversion prices below the exercise price of the warrants, other than standard
pro rata adjustments for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction
that would impact the Common Stock generally.
In connection with the Private Placement, the
Company and the Purchasers entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated March 30, 2026 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”),
providing for the registration for resale of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Common Warrants
that are not then registered on an effective registration statement, pursuant to a registration statement (the “Registration
Statement”) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or prior to the 30th
day after the Closing Date. The Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared
effective as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the earlier of (i) the fifth trading day following the date on which
the Company is notified by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to further review and
comments and (ii) the 45th calendar day following the date on which the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC (or, in
the event of a “full review” by the SEC, the 60th calendar day following the filing date), and to keep the Registration
Statement continuously effective from the date on which the SEC declares the Registration Statement to be effective until such date that
all Registrable Securities (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covered by the Registration Statement have been
sold pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act or under Rule 144 as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities
Act. The Company has granted the Purchasers customary indemnification rights in connection with the Registration Statement. The Purchasers
have also granted the Company customary indemnification rights in connection with the Registration Statement.
The Purchase Agreement also prohibits the Company
from: (a) for 90 days following the date the Registration Statement has been declared effective, issuing, entering into any agreement
to issue or announcing the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in
the Purchase Agreement) or filing any registration statement other than the Registration Statement contemplated by the Purchase Agreement,
or (b) for 180 days following the date the Registration Statement has been declared effective the Company or its Subsidiaries (as defined
in the Purchase Agreement) effecting or entering into any agreement to effect the issuance any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock
equivalents involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), subject to customary exceptions, including,
without limitation, (i) issuances contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (ii) pursuant to employee benefit plans, or (iii) beginning
on the 90th day following the date the Registration Statement has been declared effective, pursuant to the Company’s existing at-the-market
offering sales agreement. The Company has agreed to pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel to the Lead Investor
(as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in an amount not to exceed $50,000 in the aggregate.
Additionally, each of the directors and executive
officers of the Company, pursuant to lock-up agreements, agreed not to sell or transfer any of the Company securities which they hold,
subject to certain exceptions, during the period beginning on the Closing Date through the close of trading on the date that is the ninetieth
(90th) day following the date the Registration Statement has been declared effective (each, a “Lock-Up Agreement”).
On March 30, 2026, and in connection with the
Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a customary placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”)
with Oppenheimer & Co Inc. (“Oppenheimer”) and Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim” together with Oppenheimer,
the “Placement Agents”). Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Placement Agents are entitled to an aggregate
cash fee of 7% of the gross cash proceeds paid by investors in the Private Placement (the “Placement Fee”). The Company
has agreed to reimburse Oppenheimer for its reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the Private Placement in an aggregate amount
not to exceed $50,000.
On March 30, 2026, in connection with the Private
Placement, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”), effective
as of March 26, 2026, with purchasers that purchased at least 50.1% in interest of the Shares (as defined in the January Purchase Agreement
(as defined below)), to amend that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 28, 2026, by and among the Company and the purchasers
party thereto (the “January Purchase Agreement”). Prior to the Amendment, the January Purchase Agreement prohibited
the Company from (a) for a period of 30 days following the date the Registration Statement (as defined in the January Purchase Agreement)
was declared effective, issuing, entering into any agreement to issue or announcing the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of
Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (each as defined in the January Purchase Agreement) or filing any registration statement
other than the Registration Statement contemplated by the January Purchase Agreement, and (b) engaging in any Variable Rate Transaction
(as defined in the January Purchase Agreement) for a period of 180 days following the date the Registration Statement contemplated by
the January Purchase Agreement was declared effective. Pursuant to the Amendment, the January Purchase Agreement was amended to provide
that the Company is prohibited (a) from the date of the January Purchase Agreement until March 26, 2026, from issuing, entering into any
agreement to issue or announcing the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (each
as defined in the January Purchase Agreement) or filing any registration statement other than the Registration Statement contemplated
by the January Purchase Agreement, and (b) from effecting any Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the January Purchase Agreement),
until March 26, 2026, subject to customary exemptions.

the Common Warrants, the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreements, the Placement Agency Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreement
and the Amendment are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of such documents, copies of which are attached

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Securities.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this
Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Private Placement is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 3.02.

were, and will be, offered and sold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof
and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereunder. Each Purchaser is an “accredited investor,” as defined in Regulation D, and is

PRE-FUNDED Common
Stock Purchase Warrant
APREA THERAPEUTICS, INC.
Warrant Shares:
Initial Exercise Date: [ ], 2026
THIS PRE-FUNDED WARRANT TO
PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, _____________ or its assigns (the
“Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set
forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and until this Warrant is exercised in
full (the “Termination Date”), but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Aprea Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), up to ______ shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common
Stock”) (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”). The purchase price of one share of Common
Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section
1. Definitions. Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”), dated March [-], 2026, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
Section
2. Exercise.
(a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any
time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed
PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice
of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement
Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise
Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn
on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of
Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization)
of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically
surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder and the Warrant has
been exercised in full, at which time the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading
Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases
of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant
Shares purchasable hereunder by the number of Warrant Shares equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased in connection
with such partial exercise. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date
of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Notice(s) of Exercise delivered on or prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the
Initial Exercise Date, which may be delivered at any time after the time of execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agrees to
deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Warrant Shares subject to such notice(s) by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise
Date, and the Initial Exercise Date shall be the Warrant Share Delivery Date for purposes hereunder, provided that payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by such Warrant Share Delivery Date. The Holder and the Company
shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection
to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this
Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant
Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time will be less than the amount stated
on the face hereof.
(b)
Exercise Price. The aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except for a nominal exercise price of $0.001 per Warrant
Share, was pre-funded to the Company on or prior to the Initial Exercise Date and, consequently, no additional consideration (other than
the nominal exercise price of $0.001 per Warrant Share) shall be required to be paid by the Holder to the Company to effect any exercise
of this Warrant. The Holder shall not be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-paid aggregate exercise
price under any circumstance or for any reason whatsoever, including in the event this Warrant shall not have been exercised prior to
the Termination Date. The remaining unpaid exercise price per Warrant Share under this Warrant shall be $0.001, subject to adjustment
hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
(c)
Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding
by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = as applicable: (i) the
VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed
and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section
2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS
promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading
Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading
Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable
Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered
within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day)
pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise
is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular
trading hours” on such Trading Day;
(B) = the Exercise Price,
as adjusted hereunder; and
(X) = the number of Warrant
Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means
of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If Warrant Shares are issued
in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant
Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may
be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).
“Bid Price”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or
quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading
Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City
time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the VWAP of the Common Stock for such date (or
the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB
or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding
to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the
fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority
in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid
by the Company.
2
“VWAP”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or
quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date)
on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m.
(New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price
of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then
listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar
organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of Common Stock so reported,
or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good
faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees
and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section
2(c).
(d)
Mechanics of Exercise.
i.
Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted
to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company
through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system
and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to, or resale of, the Warrant
Shares by Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant
to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate (if such shares are certificated),
registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which
the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is
the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and (ii) the number of Trading Days
comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant
Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have
become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery
of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received
by the Warrant Share Delivery Date. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long
as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard
settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock
as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request
of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new
Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall
in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii.
Rescission Rights. Except in connection with an exercise on the Initial Exercise Date, if the Company fails to cause the
Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder
will have the right to rescind such exercise.
3
iv.
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available
to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions
of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required
by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares
of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such
exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Warrant Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at
issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder,
either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which
case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued
had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases shares of Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrants with an aggregate sale
price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be
required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in
respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence satisfactory to the Company with respect to the amount of such loss.
Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including,
without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver
Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v.
No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon
such exercise, the Company shall, at its election and in lieu of the issuance of such fractional Warrant Share, either (i) pay cash in
an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or (ii) round up to the next whole Warrant Share.
vi.
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. The issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for
any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses
shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed
by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder,
the Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form, attached hereto as Exhibit B, duly executed by the Holder and
the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto
and this Warrant shall be surrendered to the Company and, if any portion of this Warrant remains unexercised, a new Warrant in the form
hereof shall be delivered to the assignee. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice
of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required
for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise
of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
(e) Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise
any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise
as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting
as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)),
would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence,
the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude
the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject
to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the
extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation
to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable, shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates
and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation,
and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any
group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may
rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report
filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice
by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request
of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion
or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date
as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall
be [4.99%/9.99%] of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number
of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this
Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall
be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph
(or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to
make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph
shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section
3.
Certain Adjustments.
(a)
Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or
otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable
in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Warrant Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of
this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of
reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares
of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of
which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such
event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number
of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant
remains unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective
date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
(b)
[RESERVED]
(c)
Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to (but without duplication of) any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above,
if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other
property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder
will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have
acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard
to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date
on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which
the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however,
that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership
of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held
in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation).
5
(d)
Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend
or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital
or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend,
spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) other than a dividend or other
distribution of the type described in Section 3(a) above (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant,
then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have
participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without
regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the
date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares
of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s
right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder
shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock
as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the
Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
(e)
Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in
one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person (other than a transaction
solely to change the domicile of the Company), (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment,
transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii)
any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant
to which holders of 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 more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more
related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange
pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company,
directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination
(including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or
group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any
shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons
making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”),
then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without
regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”)
receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant).
For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate
Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction,
and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value
of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash
or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in
a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all
of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental
Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity
evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding
number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable
and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental
Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account
the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock,
such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant
immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to
the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so
that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall
refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations
of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
6
(f)
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share
of Common Stock, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding
as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
(g)
Notice to Holder.
i.
Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company
shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment
to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii.
Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form)
on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the
Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with
any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party (other than a transaction solely
to change the domicile of the Company), any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory
share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary
or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be
delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar
days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of
which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to
be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become
effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their
shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant
constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously
file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant
during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise
be expressly set forth herein.

Section
4. Transfer of Warrant.
(a)
Transferability. Subject to the Holder’s appropriate compliance with the restrictive legend on this Warrant and the
transfer restrictions set forth herein and in the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation,
any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company
or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B
duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.
Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the
assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue
to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder
has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within two (2) Trading Days of
the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned
in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
(b)
New Warrants. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be divided or combined with other
Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations
in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to
any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges
shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares
issuable pursuant thereto.
(c)
Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose
(the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat
the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder,
and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
(d) Transfer
Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this
Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable
state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information
requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of
this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
(e) Representation
by Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise
hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or
reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant
to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
(a)
No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights,
dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly
set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant
to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash
settle an exercise of this Warrant. For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly set forth in this Warrant, in no event does this agreement
result in the Company having an obligation to issue cash or other assets to the Holder.
8
(b)
Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares,
and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant,
shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the
Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant
or stock certificate.
(c)
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right
required or granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding
Trading Day.
(d)
Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized
and unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant.
The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the
duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such
reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued and delivered as provided herein without violation
of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company
covenants that all Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant, which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by
this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance
herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company
in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as
waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of
incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any
other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times
in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
will (i) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior
to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may
be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which
would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company
shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or
bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
(e)
Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall
be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(f)
Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered,
and if the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
(g)
Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder
shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other
provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this
Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient
to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings,
incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
9
(h)
Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company
shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(i)
Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant
to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the
Holder for the purchase price of any share of Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the
Company or by creditors of the Company.
(j)
Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages,
will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate
compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to
assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(k)
Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted
assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and

provisions of this Warrant.

WARRANT
TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
Warrant Shares:
Issue
Date : [ ], 2026
THIS WARRANT
to Purchase Common Stock (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, _____________ or its assigns (the
“Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set
forth, at any time on or after the Issue Date (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York
City time) on December 31, 2029 (the “Termination Date”), but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Aprea
Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to [ ] shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the
“Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”);
provided, however, that, if the Holder exercises all or any portion of the Holder’s Pre-Funded Warrant, then, with
respect to each such exercise of the Holder’s Pre-Funded Warrant, the Termination Date of this Warrant with respect to such number
of Warrant Shares as correspond to the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon such exercise of such Pre-Funded Warrant by the Holder
shall be the thirtieth (30th) calendar day after the date upon which the Holder exercises such Pre-Funded Warrant; and provided,
further, however, that the foregoing proviso shall not apply with respect to the portion of the Warrant Shares or the Warrant,
if any, that would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (i.e., in no event shall the foregoing proviso apply
to the extent that the application of the foregoing proviso would result in the termination or expiration of any portion of this Warrant,
or any Warrant Shares, that would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). The purchase price of one Warrant
Share under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section 1. Definitions.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”), dated March 30, 2026, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
Section 2. Exercise.
a)
Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any
time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed
PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice
of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement
Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise
Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn
on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of
Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization)
of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically
surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder and the Warrant has
been exercised in full, at which time, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading
Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases
of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant
Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased as set forth in the applicable Notice(s)
of Exercise. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.
The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder
and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following
the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given
time will be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
1
b)
Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.683, subject to adjustment hereunder
(the “Exercise Price”).
c)
Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus
contained therein is not available for the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole
or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise”, in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant
Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = as applicable: (i) the
VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed
and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section
2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS
promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading
Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading
Market as reported by Bloomberg as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of
Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including
until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii)
the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise
is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading
Day;
(B) = the Exercise Price, as
adjusted hereunder; and
(X) = the number of Warrant
Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means
of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If
Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the
Securities Act, the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The
Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).
“Bid
Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock
is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date)
on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m.
(New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the VWAP of the Common Stock for
such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading
on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding
to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the
fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority
in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid
by the Company.
2
“VWAP”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed
or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date)
on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m.
(New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average
price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not
then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a
similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of Common Stock so
reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected
in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company,
the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
d)
Mechanics of Exercise.
i.
Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted
to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company
through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system
and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant
Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant
to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate (if such shares are certificated),
registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which
the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is
the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and (ii) the number of Trading Days
comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant
Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have
become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery
of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received
by the Warrant Share Delivery Date. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long
as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard
settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock
as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
ii.
Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request
of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new
Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall
in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii.
Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant
to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv.
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available
to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions
of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required
by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares
of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such
exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Warrant Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at
issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder,
either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which
case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued
had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases shares of Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrant Shares with an aggregate
sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall
be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder
in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence satisfactory to the Company with respect to the amount of such loss.
Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including,
without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver
Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
3
v.
No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon
such exercise, the Company shall, at its election and in lieu of the issuance of such fractional Warrant Share, either (i) pay cash in
an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or (ii) round up to the next whole Warrant Share.
vi.
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. The issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for
any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses
shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed
by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of
the Holder, the Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed by the
Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental
thereto and this Warrant shall be surrendered to the Company and, if any portion of this Warrant remains unexercised, a new Warrant in
the form hereof shall be delivered to the assignee. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of
any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions)
required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares if applicable.
vii.
Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise
of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
e)
Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have
the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such
issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and
any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution
Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the
foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being
made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised
portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion
of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock
Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the
Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e),
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.
For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission,
as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer
Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall
within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case,
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of
the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, upon election
by a Holder prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase
or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in
no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares
of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any
increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.
The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of
this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial
Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
4
Section 3. Certain
Adjustments.
a)
Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or
otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable
in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Warrant Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of
this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of
reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares
of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of
which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such
event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number
of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this
Warrant remains unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b)
[RESERVED]
c)
Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to (but without duplication of) any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above,
if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other
property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder
will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have
acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard
to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date
on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which
the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided,
however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder
exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent
(or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to
such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
d)
Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any
dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return
of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way
of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) other than a dividend
or other distribution of the type described in Section 3(a) above (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance
of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the
Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of
this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)
immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however,
that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership
of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance
for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation).
5
e)
Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor
Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e),
including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument
substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number
of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard
to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant, including, without limitation, any Beneficial Ownership Limitation) prior to such
Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking
into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of
capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the
economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction). Upon the consummation of each Fundamental
Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for the Company (so that from and after the date of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall
refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations
of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation
of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise
of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or
other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction,
such shares of common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been
entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to
the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance
with the provisions of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Section 2(e) hereof, the Holder may elect, at
its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 3(e) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without
the assumption of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each
Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect
to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to
insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of
the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Termination Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities,
cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Section 3, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable
upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property
whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the
happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction
(without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant). The provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in
a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers which purchased at least 50.1% in interests of the Shares. The provisions
of this Section 3(e) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events.
“Group”
means a "group" as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and as defined in Rule 13d-5 thereunder.
6
“Parent Entity”
of a Person means an entity that, directly or indirectly, controls the applicable Person, including such entity whose common stock or
equivalent equity security is quoted or listed on an Trading Market (or, if so elected by the Holder, any other market, exchange or quotation
system), or, if there is more than one such Person or such entity, the Person or such entity designated by the Holder or in the absence
of such designation, such Person or entity with the largest public market capitalization as of the date of consummation of the Fundamental
Transaction.
“Successor Entity”
means one or more Person or Persons (or, if so elected by the Holder, the Company or Parent Entity) formed by, resulting from or surviving
any Fundamental Transaction or one or more Person or Persons (or, if so elected by the Holder, the Company or the Parent Entity) with
which such Fundamental Transaction shall have been entered into.

rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated
agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed
by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such
surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee
or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the
assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding

has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within two (2) Trading Days of
the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly
assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b)
New Warrants. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be divided or combined with other
Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations
in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to
any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges
shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares
issuable pursuant thereto.
c)
Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose
(the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat
the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder,
and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
d)
Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant,
the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current
public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder
or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
e)
Representation by Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant
and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to
or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares, or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
8
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a)
No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights,
dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly
set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant
to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash
settle an exercise of this Warrant. For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly set forth in this Warrant, in no event does this agreement
result in the Company having an obligation to issue cash or other assets to the Holder.
b)
Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares,
and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant,
shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the
Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant
or stock certificate.
c)
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right
required or granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding
Trading Day.
d)
Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized
and unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant.
The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the
duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such
reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued and delivered as provided herein without violation
of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company
covenants that all Warrant Shares underlying the Warrant, which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by
this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance
herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company
in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as
waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of
incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any
other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times
in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
will (i) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior
to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may
be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which
would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company
shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or
bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e)
Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall
be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
9
f)
Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered,
and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder
shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other
provision of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in
any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting
any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
h)
Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company
shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
i)
Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant
to purchase Warrant Shares and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the
Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company
or by creditors of the Company.
j)
Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages,
will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate
compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to
assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
k)
Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted
assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and
shall be enforceable by the Holder.
l)
Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company
and the Holder.
m)
Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining
provisions of this Warrant.
n)
Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be
deemed a part of this Warrant.

the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation nor default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation,
bylaws, operating agreement, or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified
to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business

or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.

recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act and pursuant to the At the Market Offering Agreement by and between the Company
and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, dated as of November 8, 2024 (the “Existing ATM Program”). No Person

by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or
the capital stock of any Subsidiary. The issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company or any Subsidiary to issue
shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company
securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. There are no outstanding securities

security or instrument upon an issuance of securities by the Company or any Subsidiary. There are no outstanding securities or instruments

respect to the Company’s share capital to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any

to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement
or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued
employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any
of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable U.S. federal, state, local and foreign
laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where

Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from

the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain
a system of internal accounting controls with the goal of providing reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance
with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in conformity with applicable securities laws and GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to

The Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated
the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by
the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented
in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of
the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been
no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) of the Company and its Subsidiaries

and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration
of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating
such registration. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice
from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance
with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The shares of Common Stock are currently eligible for electronic

fees to The Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer.

any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar
anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state
of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations
or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of
the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.

months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations
or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.
(z) No
Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2,
neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers
or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities
to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would require the registration
of the Warrants or Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading
Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(aa) Solvency.
Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company
of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the
amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known
contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on
its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements
of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the
current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after
taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when
such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking
into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or
circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws
of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means
(x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary
course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether
or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties
by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the
present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.
13
(bb) Tax
Compliance. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local income and
all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has
paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns,
reports and declarations and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all material taxes
for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material
amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no
basis for any such claim.
(cc) Foreign
Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any agent or other
person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions,
gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment
to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds,
(iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made by any person acting on its behalf
of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of FCPA.
(dd) Accountants.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is EisnerAmper LLP. To the knowledge and belief of the Company, such
accounting firm (i) is a registered public accounting firm as required by the Exchange Act and (ii) shall express its opinion
with respect to the financial statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2026.
(ee) Acknowledgment

of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges that, to the knowledge of the Company, no Purchaser is acting as a
financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the
Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities.
The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.
(ff) Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except
for Section 3.2(g) Section 4.11 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged by the Company that: (i) none of the Purchasers
has been asked by the Company to agree, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities
of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified
term; (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales
or “derivative” transactions, before or after the closing of this or future private placement transactions, may negatively
impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities; (iii) any Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative”
transactions to which any such Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the
Common Stock, and (iv) each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party
in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers may
engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, and (z) such hedging activities
(if any) could reduce the value of the existing shareholders’ 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.
14

M Compliance. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any

of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities

placement of the Securities.

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) Understandings
or Arrangements. Such Purchaser (i) understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities law; (ii) is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account; and (iii) has no direct
or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this
representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement
or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser understands that the Warrants and the Warrant
Shares are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law and is acquiring such Securities as principal for his, her or 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 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. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of
its business.
(c) General
Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication
regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any
seminar or, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
(d) 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 exercises any Warrants, 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.
(e) 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.
17
(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, which terms
include definitive pricing terms, of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate
portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the
portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with
respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered
by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without
limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained
the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or
preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
(h) Independent
Advice. Each Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company
to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.
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.
18
Section 4.
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 shall have
the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.
(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 EXERCISABLE] [HAS NOT/HAVE] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES
COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT
AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE
PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT
IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
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, including,
if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required
prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately
amend the list of selling shareholders thereunder. The Company agrees to cause such legend to be removed immediately upon effectiveness
of a Registration Statement (“Effectiveness Date”) and Warrant Shares being issued after the Effectiveness Date shall
be free of all legends.
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Securities shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while
a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of
Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), or (iii) if such Warrant Shares are eligible
for sale under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants) without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance
with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Securities 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 if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a Purchaser,
respectively. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the
resale of the Warrant Shares, or if such Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the
current public information required under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), or if the Warrant 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 Warrant Shares, 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 Warrant Shares shall be issued
free of all legends. The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c),
the Company will, no later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising
the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate
representing Warrant Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”),
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a book entry statement 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. Warrant Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer
Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed
by such Purchaser. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in
a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery
of a certificate representing Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend.
19
(d) In
addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, either (i) as partial
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities
are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading
Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after
the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend or (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) over the product
of (A) such number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied
by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery
by such Purchaser to the Company of the applicable Warrant Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment
under this Section 4.1(d).
(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.
4.2 Furnishing
of Information; Public Information. Until the earlier of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the Warrants
have expired or been exercised in full, 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, except in the event that the Company consummates (in each case on or after the date
as of which the Purchasers may sell all of their Securities without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144): (a) any
transaction or series of related transactions as a result of which any Person (together with its Affiliates) acquires then outstanding
securities of the Company representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting control of the Company; (b) a merger or reorganization
of the Company with one or more other entities in which the Company is not the surviving entity; or (c) a sale of all or substantially

requirements of the Exchange Act.
20
4.3 Integration.
The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2
of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities 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.
4.4 Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall (a) by the Disclosure Time, issue a press release disclosing the material terms
of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits
thereto, with the Commission within the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of such press release, the Company
represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents, including,
without limitation, the Placement Agent, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective
upon the issuance of such press release, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under
any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees,
Affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates
on the other hand, shall terminate and be no further force or effect. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be
relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult
with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor
any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company,
with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release
of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case
the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with
the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required
by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) to the extent
such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice
of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b) and reasonably cooperate with such Purchaser regarding such disclosure.
4.5 Shareholder
Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser
is an “acquiring person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution
under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser
could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents
or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.
4.6 Non-Public
Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on
its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes
constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have consented in writing to the receipt of such
information and agreed in writing with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each
Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company,
any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates delivers any material, non-public
information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not
have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates
or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, not to trade on the basis of,
such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice
provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any
Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously with the delivery of such notice file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current
Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company. This Section 4.6 shall not apply to any Purchaser that is a director, officer, employee
or contractor of the Company who shall continue to be governed by their separate confidentiality agreements and the Company’s insider
trading policy.
21
4.7 Use
of Proceeds. The Company shall not use the proceeds from the sale of the Securities: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion
of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business or repayment
of obligations outstanding as of the date of this Agreement consistent with prior practices), (b) for the redemption of any shares
of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (d) in violation of FCPA
or OFAC regulations or similar applicable regulations.
4.8 Indemnification
of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors,
officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person
holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents,
members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding
a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any
and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in
settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur
as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company
in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity,
or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any shareholder 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 shareholder 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 for any settlement by a Purchaser
Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or to the extent
that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required
by this Section 4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as
and when bills are received or are incurred; provided that, if any Purchaser Party is finally judicially determined not to be entitled
to indemnification or payment under this Section 4.8, such Purchaser Party shall promptly reimburse the Company for any payments
that are advanced pursuant to this provision. 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.
22
4.9 Listing
of Shares. The Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock
on each Trading Market on which each is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote
all of the Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Warrant Shares on such Trading Market.
The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in
such application all of the Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Warrant Shares to be listed
or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue
the listing and trading of the Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting,
filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. For so long as the Company maintains a listing or quotation
of the Common Stock, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic
transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment
of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
4.10 Equal
Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of the Transaction Documents) shall be offered or paid to any
Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is
also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. 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 the Securities or otherwise.
4.11 Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor
any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales
of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4.
Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser
will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction (other than as disclosed to its legal and other representatives).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges
and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions
in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant
to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting
any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4 and
(iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company to the Company, any
of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agent, including, without limitation, the
Placement Agent, after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s
assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions
of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio
manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
4.12 Reservations
of Shares. The Company will have reserved and shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights,
a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to this
Agreement.
23
4.13 Form D;
Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities if and 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.
4.14 Subsequent
Sales of Securities.
(a) From
the date hereof until ninety (90) days following the Effectiveness Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (i) issue,
enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents,
(ii) file any registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto relating to the offering or resale of any shares of capital
stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company (other
than the Registration Statement or a registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with any employee benefit plan), or (iii) enter
into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another Person, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership
of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital
stock of the Company.
(b) From
the date hereof until one hundred and eighty (180) days following the Effectiveness Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall
effect or enter into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of shares of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents (or a combination thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means
a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable
for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange
rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the Common Stock at any time after the
initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being
reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent
events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for shares of Common Stock, or (ii) enters into,
or effects a transaction under, any agreement whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price. For the avoidance
of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be permitted to issue securities pursuant to the Existing ATM Program (and
file any prospectus supplement with the Commission in connection with such Existing ATM Program) after the ninetieth (90th)
day following the Effectiveness Date. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude
any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.14 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall
be an Exempt Issuance.
4.15 Lock-Up
Agreements. The Company shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any of the Lock-Up Agreements without the prior
written consent of the Placement Agents, except to extend the term of the lock-up period, and shall enforce the provisions of each Lock-Up
Agreement in accordance with its terms. If any party to a Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Lock-Up Agreement, the Company
shall promptly use its best efforts to seek specific performance of the terms of such Lock-Up Agreement.
4.16 Clinical
Trial Matters. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that, subject in all respects to the clinical trial protocol for the ACESOT-1051
trial evaluating APR-1051 (as amended from time to time), the applicable statistical analysis plan, all applicable laws, FDA and other
regulatory authority requirements, IRB or ethics committee approvals, and applicable good clinical practice standards, the Company
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek enrollment in such study of (i) up to thirty (30) patients with Uterine Serous
Carcinoma, (ii) up to thirty (30) patients with CCNE1 PROC determined to be immunohistochemistry (IHC)-positive pursuant to an IHC
assessment and related process conducted in accordance with, and permitted by, the protocol and approved by the Company, and (iii) at
least fifty (50) patients with either Uterine Serous Carcinoma or CCNE1 PROC; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require the
Company to (a) enroll any patient who does not satisfy protocol eligibility criteria, (b) expand screening, testing, or study
sites beyond those contemplated by the protocol or commercially reasonable trial operations, or (C) pursue or achieve enrollment
of IHC-positive CCNE1 PROC patients to the extent that, despite commercially reasonable, protocol-compliant screening efforts, a sufficient
number of IHC-positive patients cannot be identified or enrolled, and any such shortfall shall not constitute a breach of this covenant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Company shall retain discretion, acting in good faith and
in the best interests of patient safety, data integrity, and regulatory compliance, to modify, suspend, or discontinue any enrollment
objective based on screen-failure rates, biomarker prevalence, safety findings, protocol amendments, or regulatory or data safety monitoring
board feedback.

Section 5.
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever
on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated
on or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date hereof; provided, however, that no such termination will affect
the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).
5.2 Fees
and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses
of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation,
preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees (including, without
limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any exercise notice delivered
by a Purchaser), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel to the Lead Investor in an amount not
to exceed $50,000 in the aggregate.
5.3 Entire
Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect
to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.
5.4 Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via
email attachment at the email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York
City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered

or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of mailing,

to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto.
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 the Purchasers which purchased at least 50.1% in interest of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares
based on the initial Subscription Amounts hereunder, which 50.1% must include the Lead Investor (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 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.
25
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 to the surviving corporation with or into which the Company or permitted assignee may merge or consolidate or an entity to which
the Company or assignee transfers all, or substantially all, of its business and assets). 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 and the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2. This Agreement is intended for the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof
be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.8 and this Section 5.8.
5.9 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed
by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts
of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates,
directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts
sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting
in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
any such court, that such suit, Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably
waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof
via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices
to it under this 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 either party
shall commence an Action, suit or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations
of the Company under Section 4.8, the prevailing party in such Action, suit 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 of a “.pdf”
format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature
is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.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.
26
5.13 Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of
the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document, and
the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw,
in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part
without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant,
the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any rescinded exercise notice concurrently
with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s
right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored
right).
5.14 Replacement
of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall
issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of
and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable
third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15 Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers
and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may
not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby
agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would
be adequate.
5.16 Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser
enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required
to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without
limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.17 Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and
not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance
of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document,
and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association,
a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction
Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For
reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through
the Placement Agent Counsel. Placement Agent Counsel does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents the Placement Agent.
The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and
not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision
contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the
Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
27

3
2. Shelf
Registration.
(a) On
or prior to each Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all
of the Registrable Securities that are not then registered on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous
basis pursuant to Rule 415. Each Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then
eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate
form in accordance herewith, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e)) and shall contain (unless otherwise directed by the Required
Purchasers) substantially the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Annex A and substantially the “Selling
Stockholder” section attached hereto as Annex B; provided, however, that no Holder shall be required to
be named as an “underwriter” without such Holder’s express prior written consent. Subject to the terms of this Agreement,
the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement (including, without limitation,
under Section 3(c)) to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any
event no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously
effective under the Securities Act until the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (i) have
been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) no longer constitute Registrable Securities pursuant to clause (c) of
the definition thereof (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall request effectiveness of a Registration Statement
as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders via facsimile or by e-mail
of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the
Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of such Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. (New
York City time) on the Trading Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the Commission
as required by Rule 424. Failure to so notify the Holder within one (1) Trading Day of such notification of effectiveness or
failure to file a final Prospectus as foresaid shall be deemed an Event under Section 2(d).
(b) If
at any time the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable
Securities in the Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415
under the Securities Act or requires any Holder to be named as an “underwriter”, the Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to persuade the Staff that the offering contemplated by a Registration Statement is a bona fide secondary offering and not an
offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Holders is an “underwriter”.
The Holders shall have the right to participate or have their counsel participate in any meetings or discussions with the Staff regarding
the Staff’s position and to comment or have their counsel comment on any written submission made to the Staff with respect thereto.
No such written submission shall be made to the Staff to which counsel to a Holder reasonably objects. In the event that, despite the
Company’s reasonable best efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 2(b), the Staff refuses to alter its position,
the Company shall (i) notify the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration
Statement as required by the Commission, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission,
on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering, subject to the
provisions of Section 2(e); with respect to filing on Form S-3 or other appropriate form, and subject to the provisions of Section 2(d) with
respect to the payment of liquidated damages and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale
of the Registrable Securities as the Staff may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415;
provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name any Holder as an “underwriter” in such Registration
Statement without the prior written consent of such Holder.
4
(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(d), if the Staff or
any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration
Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the
registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable
Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows:
a. First, the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included other than Registrable Securities;
and
b. Second, the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the total number
of unregistered shares of Common Stock beneficially held by such Holders.
In the event of a cutback hereunder,
the Company shall give the Holder at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s
allotment. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its
best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants
of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those
Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended.
5
(d) If:
(i) the Initial Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date (if the Company files the Initial Registration
Statement without affording the Holders the opportunity to review (and, with respect to disclosure on such Holder, to comment) on the
same as required by Section 3(a) herein, the Company shall be deemed to have not satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) the
Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated
by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, within five (5) Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or
in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be
subject to further review, or (iii) a Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Registrable Securities is not declared
effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date of the Initial Registration Statement, or (iv) after the effective date of
a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities
included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable
Securities, for more than thirty (30) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of forty five (45) calendar days (which need
not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”,
and for purposes of clauses (i) and (iii), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which
such five (5) Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iv) the date on which such thirty (30) or forty five
(45) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other
rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event
Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured or, if earlier, the Company
shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.0% multiplied
by the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to make any payments with respect to Registrable Securities which may be freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144. The
maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be 6.0% of the Subscription Amount paid by
such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in
full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 12% per annum (or such lesser maximum
amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are
due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof
shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.
(e) If
Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register
the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on
Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective
by the Commission.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name any Holder or affiliate of a Holder as any
Underwriter without the prior written consent of such Holder.
6
3. Registration
Procedures.
In connection with the Company’s
registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:
(a) Not
less than five (5) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior
to the filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall (i) furnish to each Holder copies
of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to review by such Holders, and (ii) cause its officers
and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable
opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company
shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority
of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good faith, provided that, the Company is notified of such objection in writing
no later than three (3) Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement or one (1) Trading
Day after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto. Each Holder agrees
to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex C (a “Selling Stockholder
Questionnaire”) on a date that is not less than two (2) Trading Days prior to the Filing Date or by the end of the third
(3rd) Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section. If Holder
does not respond by the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials, such Holder
shall be deemed to have approved of such disclosure.
(b) (i) Prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used
in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities
for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for
resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented
by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably possible to the Holders true and complete copies
of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided that, the Company shall excise any information
contained therein which would constitute material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and (iv) comply
in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of
all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this
Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in
such Prospectus as so supplemented.
7
(c) If
during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock
then registered in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior to the
applicable Filing Date, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of such Registrable
Securities.
(d) Notify
the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied
by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible
(and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person)
confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies the
Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on
such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has
become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements
to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal
or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the
Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage
of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made
in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any
material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration
Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the
Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow
continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided, however, that in no event shall any such notice
contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
8
(e) Use
its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any
of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
(f) Furnish
to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including
financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested
by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference)
promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission, provided that any such item which is available on the EDGAR system (or
successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.
(g) Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by
each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any
amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).
(h) Reserved.
(i) If
requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of a book-entry statement representing
Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which book-entry statement representing Registrable
Securities shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Securities Act, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities
to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holder may request.
(j) Upon
the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(d), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into
account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of the premature disclosure
of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to
the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document
so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of
Section 3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then
the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus
may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(j) to
suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment of partial liquidated damages otherwise required
pursuant to Section 2(d), for a period not to exceed 45 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month period.
9
(k) Otherwise
use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any
supplement or amendment thereof, with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the Holders in
writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as
a result thereof, the Holders are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take
such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.
(l) The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain eligibility for use of Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) for the
registration of the resale of Registrable Securities.
(m) The
Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by such Holder and the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control over the shares. During any periods that
the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the Registrable Securities solely because
any Holder fails to furnish such information within three Trading Days of the Company’s request, any liquidated damages that are
accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall
be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the Company.
4. Registration
Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with, this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by
the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to
in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation,
fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made
with the Commission, (B) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed
for trading, and (C) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing
(including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions
of the Registrable Securities), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable
Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities
Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the
Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible
for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including,
without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any
annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange
as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions of any Holder or, except to
the extent provided for in the Transaction Documents, any legal fees or other costs of the Holders.
10
5. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification
by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the
officers, directors, members, partners, 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) of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, partners,
agents and 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 each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses
(collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under
this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon
information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that
such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed
and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or
supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence
of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable
Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for
use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(c). The Company shall notify the
Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in
accordance with Section 6(g).
11
(b) Indemnification
by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents
and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of
the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary
prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information
so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to
the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to such Holder’s information provided in the Selling Stockholder
Questionnaire or the proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such
Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose),
such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a selling Holder be greater in amount than
the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5
and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received
by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification
obligation.
(c) Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder
(an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the
“Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including
the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred
in connection with defense thereof, provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially
and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
12
An Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing
to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and
to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to any such
Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified
Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified
Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense
thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).
The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party,
effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes
an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
Subject to the terms
of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred
in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid
to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, provided that the
Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions
for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal
or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
13
(d) Contribution.
If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified
Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party,
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with
the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has
been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or
payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable
attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have
been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance
with its terms.
The parties hereto
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a Holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount
of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the amount of
any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
The indemnity and
contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the
Indemnified Parties.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies.
In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the
Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery
of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each of the Company and each Holder agrees that
monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions
of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall
not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
14
(b) Prohibition
on Filing Other Registration Statements. The Company shall not file any other registration statements until all Registrable Securities
are registered pursuant to a Registration Statement that is declared effective by the Commission, provided that this Section 6(b) shall
not prohibit the Company from filing amendments to registration statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement so long as no new
securities are registered on any such existing registration statements.
(c) Discontinued
Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the
occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition
of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the
Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its
reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company agrees and
acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder
shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2(d).
(d) Piggyback
Rights If at any time following the date of this Agreement that any Registrable Securities remain outstanding and are not freely tradable
under Rule 144 (A) there is not one or more effective Registration Statements covering all of the Registrable Securities and
(B) the Company proposes for any reason to register any shares of Common Stock under the 1933 Act (other than pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or a similar or successor form)) with respect to an offering of Common Stock by the Company
for its own account or for the account of any of its stockholders, it shall at each such time promptly give written notice to the Holders
of its intention to do so (but in no event less than eight (8) Trading Days before the anticipated filing date) and, to the extent
permitted under the provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act and SEC Guidance, include in such registration all Registrable Securities
with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after receipt of the Company’s
notice. Such notice shall offer the holders of the Registrable Securities the opportunity to register such number of shares of Registrable
Securities as each such holder may request and shall indicate the intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities. If the
managing underwriter of any underwritten offering shall inform the Company by letter of its belief that the number of Registrable Securities
requested to be included in such registration pursuant to this Section 6(d), when added to the number of other securities to be offered
in such registration by the Company, would materially adversely affect such offering, then the Company shall include in such registration,
to the extent of the total number of securities which the Company is so advised can be sold in (or during the time of) such offering without
so materially adversely affecting such offering, securities in the following priority: (x) first, all Common Stock or securities
convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Common Stock that the Company proposes to register for its own account; and (y) second,
the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities subject to registration rights owned by each holder requesting
inclusion in relation to the number of Registrable Securities then owned by all holders requesting inclusion. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(A) if such registration involves an underwritten public offering, the Holders must sell their Registrable Securities to, if applicable,
the underwriter(s) at the same price and subject to the same underwriting discounts and commissions that apply to the other securities
sold in such offering (it being acknowledged that the Company shall be responsible for other expenses as set forth in Section 4)
and subject to the Holders entering into customary underwriting documentation for selling stockholders in an underwritten public offering,
and (B) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6(e) and
prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for
any reason not to cause such registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act, the Company shall deliver written notice
to the Holders and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 6(e) shall limit the Company’s liabilities and/or obligations
under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay liquidated damages under Section 2(d).
15
(e) Amendments
and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Company and Holders of 50.1% or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (which must include the Lead Investor, to the extent
that the Lead Investor then holds any Registrable Securities), provided that, if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately
and adversely impacts a Holder (or group of Holders) the consent of such disproportionately impacted Holder (or group of Holders) shall
be required. If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in
compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro
rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter
that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other
Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided,
however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions
of the first sentence of this Section 6(d). No consideration 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 also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
(f) Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth
in the Purchase Agreement.
(g) Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the
parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign their respective
rights hereunder so long as such assignment complies with applicable securities laws.
(h) No
Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would
have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any
of its securities to any Person that have not been satisfied in full.
(i) Execution
and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered
one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party,
it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party
executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature
page were an original thereof.
16
(j) Governing
Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted
exclusively in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without giving effect to any conflict of laws.
(k) Cumulative
Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
(l) 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.
(m) Headings.
The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or
affect any of the provisions hereof.
(n) Independent
Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations
of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder
hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder
pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind
of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to
such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders
are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions.
Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement,
and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of
a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or
decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by
any Holder. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder,
solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.

Annex A
Plan of Distribution
The selling stockholders,
which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, assignees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock
or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership
distribution or other transfer (the “Selling Stockholders”), may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose
of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility
on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the
time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of their securities or interests therein:
· on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities
may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
· in the over-the-counter market;
· ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;
· block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities
as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
· through brokers, dealers or underwriters that may act solely as agents;
· purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer
for its account;
· an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
· privately negotiated transactions;
· delivery of shares in settlement of short sales;
· in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders
to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
· through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions,
whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
· a combination of any such methods of sale; or
· any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The Selling Stockholders may
also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by
the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers, underwriters and other agents
may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities,
from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency
transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal
transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
The Selling Stockholders may
from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and the pledgee or other
secured party, transferee or other successor in interest may sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under
a supplement or amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending
the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, secured party, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders
under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the
donees, pledgees, assignees, transferees or other successors-in-interest may be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus
and may sell such shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after an amendment or supplement has been filed under
Rule 424(b)(3) under, or another applicable provision of, the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Stockholders
to include the donees, pledgees, assignees, transferees or other successors-in-interest as a Selling Stockholder under this prospectus.
Upon being notified in writing
by the Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock
through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement
to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act will be filed, disclosing (i) the name
of each such Selling Stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares of common stock involved, (iii) the
price at which such shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s),
where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated
by reference in this prospectus, if applicable, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction.
2
The Selling Stockholders also
may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the donees, pledgees, assignees, transferees or other successors-in-interest
will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale
of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions after the effective date of the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales
of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short after the
effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and deliver these securities to close out their short
positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also
enter into option or other transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer
or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution
may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction), including in the short sale transactions.
The Selling Stockholders and
any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning
of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any
profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities
Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly
or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities. Any compensation paid to underwriters, broker-dealers or agents in connection
with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers will
be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement and shall comply with the rules and requirements of the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority.
The Company is required to
pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify
the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities to which they may become subject, including liabilities
under the Securities Act.
We agreed to keep this prospectus
effective until the earlier of (i) the date that such securities become eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions
and without current public information pursuant to Rule 144 and certain other conditions have been satisfied, or (ii) all of
the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar
effect.
There can be no assurance
that any Selling Stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement of which
this prospectus forms a part.
3
Under applicable rules and
regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market
making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement
of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders
or any other person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock
to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of
the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of
common stock.

Exhibit 10.3
PLACEMENT AGENCY AGREEMENT
[ ], 2026
Oren Gilad, Ph.D.
Chief Executive Officer
Aprea Therapeutics, Inc.
3805 Old Easton Road
Doylestown, Pennsylvania 18902
Dear Oren:
This agreement (the “Agreement”)
constitutes the agreement between Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (“Oppenheimer”), Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”,
and collectively with Oppenheimer, the “Placement Agent”) and Aprea Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), that Oppenheimer and Maxim shall serve as the exclusive placement agents for the Company, on a “commercially
reasonable efforts” basis, in connection with the proposed placement (the “Placement”) of unregistered (i) shares
(the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”),
(ii) pre-funded Common Stock purchase warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants), and (iii) Common
Stock purchase warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrants”). The Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants
and the Common Warrants are hereinafter referred to as the “Securities.” The terms of the Placement shall be mutually
agreed upon by the Company, Oppenheimer, Maxim and the purchasers of the Securities (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively,
the “Purchasers”) and nothing herein constitutes that Oppenheimer or Maxim would have the power or authority to bind
the Company or any Purchaser or an obligation for the Company to issue any Securities or complete the Placement. This Agreement and the
documents executed and delivered by the Company and the Purchasers in connection with the Placement, including the Purchase Agreement
(as hereinafter defined) shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” Subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the Securities shall be made at one or more closings (each
a “Closing” and the date on which each Closing occurs, a “Closing Date”). The Company expressly
acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent’s obligations hereunder are on a commercially reasonable efforts basis only and
that the execution of this Agreement does not constitute a legal or binding commitment by the Placement Agent to purchase the Securities
or introduce the Company to investors and does not ensure the successful placement of the Securities or any portion thereof or the success
of the Placement Agent with respect to securing any other financing on behalf of the Company. The Placement Agent may retain other brokers
or dealers to act as sub-agents or selected-dealers on its behalf in connection with the Placement. The sale of the Securities to any
Purchaser will be evidenced by a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and such
Purchaser in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Placement Agent. Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein
have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement. Prior to the signing of the Purchase Agreement, officers of the Company
will be available to answer inquiries from prospective Purchasers.
A-1
Section 1. Representations
and Warranties of the Company; Covenants of the Company.
(a) Representations
of the Company. Each of the representations and warranties (together with any related disclosure schedules thereto) and covenants
made by the Company to the Purchasers in the Purchase Agreement in connection with the Placement is hereby incorporated herein by reference
into this Agreement (as though fully restated herein) and is, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, hereby made
to, and in favor of, the Placement Agent. In addition to the foregoing, the Company represents and warrants that:
(i) Assuming
the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreement, no registration under the Securities
Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities.
(ii) There
are no affiliations with any FINRA member firm among the Company’s officers, directors or, to the knowledge of the Company, any
ten percent (10.0%) or greater stockholder of the Company, except as set forth in the documents the Company has filed or furnished with
the Commission.
(b) Covenants
of the Company. The Company further covenants and agrees with the Placement Agent as follows:
(i) Blue
Sky Compliance. The Company will cooperate with the Placement Agent and the Purchasers in endeavoring to qualify the Securities for
sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions (United States and foreign) as the Placement Agent and the Purchasers may reasonably
request and will make such applications, file such documents, and furnish such information as may be reasonably required for that purpose,
provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of process
in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or required to file such a consent, and provided further that the Company shall not
be required to produce any new disclosure document. The Company will, from time to time, prepare and file such statements, reports and
other documents as are or may be required to continue such qualifications in effect for so long a period as the Placement Agent may reasonably
request for distribution of the Securities. The Company will advise the Placement Agent promptly of the suspension of the qualification
or registration of (or any such exemption relating to) the Securities for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation
or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification, registration
or exemption, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.
(ii) Transfer
Agent. The Company will maintain, at its expense, a registrar and transfer agent for the shares of Common Stock.
A-2
(c) Subsequent
Sales of Securities.
(i) From
the date hereof until ninety (90) calendar days following the earlier of (A) the Effectiveness Date and (B) the date the Securities
are first freely saleable by non-affiliates of the Company pursuant to Rule 144, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall directly
or indirectly (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, (ii) file any registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto relating to the offering
or resale of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of
capital stock of the Company (other than the Registration Statement or a registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with any
employee benefit plan), or (iii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another Person, in whole or in part,
any of the economic consequences of ownership of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company.
(ii) From
the date hereof until one hundred and eighty (180) days following the Effectiveness Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall
effect or enter into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of shares of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents (or a combination thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means
a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable
for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange
rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the Common Stock at any time after the
initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being
reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent
events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for shares of Common Stock, or (ii) enters into,
or effects a transaction under, any agreement whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price. For the avoidance
of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be permitted to issue securities pursuant to the Existing ATM Program (and
file any prospectus supplement with the Commission in connection with such Existing ATM Program) after the ninetieth (90th)
day following the Effectiveness Date. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude
any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
(iii) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 1(c)(i) and 1(c)(ii) shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable
Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.
Section 2. Representations
of the Placement Agent. Oppenheimer and Maxim each represents and warrants that it (i) is a member in good standing of FINRA,
(ii) is registered as a broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”)
, (iii) is licensed as a broker/dealer under the laws of the states applicable to the offers and sales of the Securities by each
of them, (iv) is and will be a corporate entity validly existing under the laws of its place of incorporation, and (v) has full
power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. Oppenheimer and Maxim will immediately notify the
Company in writing of any change in its status as such. Oppenheimer and Maxim each covenants that it will use its reasonable best efforts
to conduct the Placement hereunder in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the requirements of applicable law.
A-3
Section 3. Compensation.
In consideration of the services to be provided for hereunder, the Company shall pay to the Placement Agent or their respective designees
their pro rata portion (based on the Securities placed) of the following compensation with respect to the Securities which they are placing:
(a) A
cash fee (the “Cash Fee”) equal to an aggregate of six percent (6.0%) of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the
Placement if such proceeds are equal to or less than $15,000,000, and equal to an aggregate of seven percent (7.0%) of the aggregate gross
proceeds raised in the Placement if such proceeds are greater than $15,000,000. The Cash Fee shall be paid at each Closing. Oppenheimer
shall be allocated 65% of the Cash Fee and Maxim shall be allocated 35% of the Cash Fee.
(b) Subject
to compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(D), the Company also agrees to reimburse Oppenheimer for all travel and other documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred, including the reasonable fees, costs and disbursements of its legal counsel, in an amount not to exceed
an aggregate of $50,000. The Company will reimburse Oppenheimer directly upon the initial Closing from the gross proceeds raised in the
Placement. In the event that this Agreement shall terminate prior to the consummation of the Placement, Oppenheimer shall nevertheless
still be entitled to reimbursement for its actual expenses, which shall in no event exceed an aggregate of $50,000.
(c) For
the avoidance of doubt, the right of first refusal provision contained in Section 3(e) of that certain Placement Agency Agreement,
dated as of December 8, 2025, entered into between the Company and Maxim, shall continue to be in full force and effect.
(d) The
Placement Agent reserves the right to reduce any item of its compensation or adjust the terms thereof as specified herein in the event
that a determination shall be made by FINRA to the effect that such Placement Agent’s aggregate compensation is in excess of FINRA
rules or that the terms thereof require adjustment.
Section 4. Indemnification.
The Company agrees to the indemnification and other agreements set forth in the Indemnification Provisions (the “Indemnification”)
attached hereto as Addendum A, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference and shall survive the termination or
expiration of this Agreement.
Section 5. Engagement
Term. The Placement Agent’s engagement hereunder shall be until the earlier of (i) the final Closing Date, and (ii) the
date a party terminates the engagement according to the letter agreement entered into between the Company and Oppenheimer on March 24,
2026 (the period of time during which this Agreement remains in effect is referred to herein as the “Term”). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions concerning confidentiality and indemnification and contribution contained herein
and the Company’s obligations contained in the Indemnification Provisions will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.
A-4
Section 6. Placement
Agent Information. The Company agrees that any information or advice rendered by the Placement Agent in connection with this engagement
is for the confidential use of the Company only in their evaluation of the Placement and, except as otherwise required by law, the Company
will not disclose or otherwise refer to the advice or information in any manner without the Placement Agent’s prior written consent.
Section 7. No
Fiduciary Relationship. This Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating rights enforceable by any person or
entity not a party hereto, except those entitled hereto by virtue of the Indemnification Provisions hereof. The Company acknowledges and
agrees that the Placement Agent is not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary of the Company and shall have no duties or liabilities
to the equity holders or the creditors of the Company or any other person by virtue of this Agreement or the retention of such Placement
Agent hereunder, all of which are hereby expressly waived.
Section 8. Closing.
The obligations of the Placement Agent, and the closing of the sale of the Securities hereunder are subject to the accuracy, when made
and on each Closing Date, of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company and its subsidiaries contained herein and in
the Purchase Agreement, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made in any certificates pursuant to the
provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company and its subsidiaries of their obligations hereunder, and to each of the following
additional terms and conditions, except as otherwise disclosed to and acknowledged and waived by the Placement Agent to the Company:
(a) All
corporate proceedings and other legal matters incident to the authorization, form, execution, delivery and validity of each of this Agreement,
the Purchase Agreement, the Securities, and all other legal matters relating to this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby shall be reasonably satisfactory in all material respects to counsel for the Placement Agent, and the
Company shall have furnished to such counsel all documents and information that they may reasonably request to enable them to pass upon
such matters.
(b) The
Placement Agent shall have received from outside counsel to the Company such counsel’s written opinions, addressed to the Placement
Agent and the Purchasers and dated as of the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agent, the Purchasers,
and Placement Agent’s legal counsel.
(c) On
each Closing Date, Placement Agent shall have received a certificate of the chief executive officer of the Company, dated as of the Closing
Date, to the effect that, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the applicable date, the representations and warranties of the Company
contained herein and in the Purchase Agreement were and are accurate in all material respects, except for such changes as are contemplated
by this Agreement and except as to representations and warranties that were expressly limited to a state of facts existing at a time prior
to the applicable Closing Date, and that, as of the applicable date, the obligations to be performed by the Company hereunder on or prior
thereto have been fully performed in all material respects.
A-5
(d) On
each Closing Date, Placement Agent shall have received a certificate of the Secretary of the Company, dated, as applicable, as of the
date of such Closing, certifying to the organizational documents, good standing in the state of incorporation of the Company and board
resolutions relating to the Placement of the Securities from the Company.
(e) Neither
the Company nor any of its subsidiaries (i) shall have sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included
in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act (the “SEC Filings”), any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion,
flood, terrorist act or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action,
order or decree, otherwise than as set forth in or contemplated by the SEC Filings, (ii) since such date there shall not have been
any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any change, or any development involving
a prospective change, in or affecting the business, general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity, results
of operations or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and (iii) since
such date there shall not have been any new or renewed inquiries by the Commission, FINRA or any other regulatory body regarding the Company,
the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii), is, in the judgment of the Placement Agent, so material
and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the
manner contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
(f) The
Common Stock is registered under the Exchange Act and, as of the Closing Date, the Shares and the shares of Common Stock underlying the
Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants shall be listed and admitted and authorized for trading on the Trading Market or other applicable
U.S. national exchange, or an application for such listing shall have been submitted to the Trading Market, and satisfactory evidence
of such action shall have been provided to the Placement Agent. The Company shall have taken no action designed to, or likely to have
the effect of terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or delisting or suspending from trading the Common
Stock from the Trading Market or other applicable U.S. national exchange, nor has the Company received any information suggesting that
the Commission or the Trading Market or other U.S. applicable national exchange is contemplating terminating such registration or listing,
except as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
(g) No
action shall have been taken and no statute, rule, regulation or order shall have been enacted, adopted or issued by any governmental
agency or body which would, as of the Closing Date, prevent the issuance or sale of the Securities or materially and adversely affect
or potentially and adversely affect the business or operations of the Company; and no injunction, restraining order or order of any other
nature by any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction shall have been issued as of the Closing Date which would prevent the issuance
or sale of the Securities or materially and adversely affect or potentially and adversely affect the business or operations of the Company.
(h) The
Company shall have prepared and filed with the Commission a Form 8-K with respect to the Placement, including as an exhibit thereto
this Agreement.
(i) The
Company shall have entered into a Purchase Agreement with each of the Purchasers and such agreements shall be in full force and effect
and shall contain representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as agreed between the Company and the Purchasers.
A-6
(j) FINRA
shall have raised no objection to the fairness and reasonableness of the terms and arrangements of this Agreement. In addition, the Company
shall, if requested by the Placement Agent, make or authorize Placement Agent’s counsel to make on the Company’s behalf, any
filing with the FINRA Corporate Financing Department pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 with respect to the Placement and pay all filing
fees required in connection therewith.
If any of the conditions specified in this Section 8
shall not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement, or if any of the certificates, opinions, written statements or letters
furnished to the Placement Agent or to Placement Agent’s counsel pursuant to this Section 8 shall not be reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to the Placement Agent and to Placement Agent’s legal counsel, all obligations of the Placement Agent hereunder
may be cancelled by the Placement Agent at, or at any time prior to, the consummation of the Closing. Notice of such cancellation shall
be given to the Company in writing or orally. Any such oral notice shall be confirmed promptly thereafter in writing.
Section 9. Governing
Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements
made and to be performed entirely in such State, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. This Agreement may not be
assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any right to trial by jury with respect to any dispute arising
under this Agreement or any transaction or conduct in connection herewith is waived. Any dispute arising under this Agreement may be brought
into the New York Supreme Court, County of New York or into the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and,
by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally,
the jurisdiction of aforesaid courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by delivering a copy thereof via 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
manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of a Transaction Document, then
the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorney’s fees and other costs
and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding. This paragraph shall survive any
termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part.
Section 10. Entire
Agreement/Misc. This Agreement (including the attached Indemnification Provisions) embodies the entire agreement and understanding
between the parties hereto, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, relating to the subject matter hereof, other than
the Placement Agency Agreement, dated as of December 8, 2025, by and between the Company and Maxim. If any provision of this Agreement
is determined to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, such determination will not affect such provision in any other respect or
any other provision of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement may not be amended or otherwise modified
or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by both Placement Agent and the Company. The representations, warranties, agreements
and covenants contained herein shall survive the closing of the Placement and delivery of the Securities. This Agreement may be executed
in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective
when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign
the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or a .pdf format file, such signature shall
create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect
as if such facsimile or .pdf signature page were an original thereof.
A-7
Section 11. Confidentiality.
The parties agree to the confidentiality and other agreements set forth in the confidentiality provisions attached hereto as Addendum
B, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference and shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

ADDENDUM A
INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS
The Company agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless Oppenheimer and Maxim and their respective affiliates and their respective present and former directors, officers, employees,
agents and controlling persons (each such person, including Oppenheimer and Maxim, an "Indemnified Party") from and against
any losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several (collectively, "Damages"), to which such Indemnified Party
may become subject in connection with, relating to or arising from any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the engagement of
or performance of services by an Indemnified Party hereunder, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket fees and expenses (“Expenses”), including the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel, as they
are incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any threatened or pending subpoena, claim, action, proceeding
or investigation ("Proceedings") arising therefrom, whether or not any Indemnified Party is a formal party to such Proceeding;
provided, that the Company will not be liable to any Indemnified Party to the extent that any Damages are found in a final non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder; provided, further that in the event the Company is determined not to
be responsible for any Expenses of any Indemnified Party as set forth in this sentence, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse
the Company for any advances made hereunder. No Indemnified Party will have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract,
tort or otherwise) to the Company or any person asserting claims on behalf of the Company arising out of or in connection with any transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the engagement of or performance of services by any Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent
that the Company incurs Damages that are found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
solely from the bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party.
If for any reason other than
in accordance with the previous paragraph of this Annex A, the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient
to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Company will contribute to the amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party for Damages
and Expenses related thereto in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Company and/or its stockholders
on the one hand, and Oppenheimer on the other hand, in connection with the matters covered by this Agreement or, if the foregoing allocation
is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative faults of such parties as well as any relevant
equitable considerations. The Company agrees that for purposes of this paragraph the relative benefits to the Company and/or its stockholders
and Oppenheimer and Maxim in connection with the matters covered by this Agreement will be deemed to be in the same proportion that the
total value paid or received or to be paid or received by the Company and/or its stockholders in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, whether or not consummated, bears to the fees paid to Oppenheimer and Maxim under this Agreement; provided,
that in no event will the total contribution of all Indemnified Parties to all such Damages and Expenses exceed the amount of fees actually
received and retained by Oppenheimer and Maxim under this Agreement (excluding any amounts received by Oppenheimer as reimbursement of
expenses). Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any alleged untrue statement or omission
or any alleged conduct relates to information provided by the Company or other conduct by the Company (or its employees or other agents)
on the one hand, or by Oppenheimer or Maxim, on the other hand.
A-10
No Indemnified Party will
agree to settle any Proceeding and seek indemnification or reimbursement hereunder unless such Indemnified Party obtained the Company’s
consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) to such settlement. The Company agrees not to enter into any waiver, release
or settlement of any Proceeding (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto) in respect of which indemnification may be sought
hereunder without the prior written consent of Oppenheimer and Maxim (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), unless such waiver,
release or settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Proceeding,
(ii) does not contain any factual or legal admission by or with respect to any Indemnified Party or any adverse statement with respect
to the character, professionalism, expertise or reputation of any Indemnified Party or any action or inaction of any Indemnified Party
and (iii) does not preclude or purport to preclude the future business activities of any Indemnified Person.
In addition to any rights
of indemnification or contribution set forth above, the non-prevailing party agrees to reimburse each prevailing party for all out-of-pocket
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel) in connection with investigating,
preparing or settling any Proceeding involving the enforcement of this Agreement or this Annex A.
The indemnity, reimbursement
and contribution obligations of the Company are in addition to any liability that the Company may have at common law or otherwise to any
Indemnified Party and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of
the Company or an Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Annex will survive the modification, expiration or termination of this
Agreement.

ADDENDUM B
CONFIDENTIALITY PROVISIONS
All information that the Company or any of its
representatives have delivered or will deliver to Oppenheimer or Maxim or any of their respective Representatives (as defined below) in
connection with the Placement is “Confidential Information,” and includes all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations
or other documents that the Placement Agent or its Representatives prepare in connection with the Placement and that contain, reflect

RE:
Aprea Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”)
Ladies & Gentlemen:
The undersigned is or may
become an owner of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Shares”), or of securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares. The Company proposes to conduct a private placement of Shares (the “Private
Placement”) for which Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. and Maxim Group LLC (each of the foregoing a “Placement Agent”
and together the “Placement Agents”) will act as placement agent. The undersigned acknowledges that the Placement Agents
are relying on the representations and agreements of the undersigned contained in this letter agreement in conducting the Private Placement
and other arrangements with the Company with respect thereto.
Annex A attached hereto
sets forth definitions of capitalized terms that are used but not defined in the body of this agreement. Those definitions are a part
of this agreement.
In consideration of the foregoing,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees
that, during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned will not (and will cause any Family Member not to), directly or indirectly, without the
prior written consent of the Placement Agents, which consent they may withhold in their sole discretion:
· Sell or Offer to Sell any Shares or Related Securities
currently or hereafter owned either of record or beneficially (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”)), directly or indirectly, by the undersigned or such Family Member;
· enter into any Swap;
· make any demand for, or exercise any right with
respect to, the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the offer and
sale of any Shares or Related Securities, or cause to be filed a registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement (or an amendment
or supplement thereto) with respect to any such registration; or
· publicly announce any intention to do any of
the foregoing.
The foregoing will not apply
to the transfer of Shares or Related Securities by gift, by will or intestate succession to a Family Member or to a trust whose beneficiaries
consist exclusively of one or more of the undersigned and/or a Family Member, by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic
order, divorce settlement, divorce decree or separation agreement, or related court order related to the distribution of assets in connection
with the dissolution of a marriage or civil union; provided, however, that in any such case, it shall be a condition to
such transfer that:
· each transferee executes and delivers to the
Placement Agents an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Placement Agents stating that such transferee is receiving and
holding such Shares and/or Related Securities subject to the provisions of this letter agreement and agrees not to Sell or Offer to Sell
such Shares and/or Related Securities, engage in any Swap or engage in any other activities restricted under this letter agreement except
in accordance with this letter agreement (as if such transferee had been an original signatory hereto); and
· prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period,
no public disclosure or filing under the Exchange Act by any party to the transfer (donor, donee, transferor, transferee, etc.) shall
be required, or made voluntarily, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Shares in connection with such transfer.
The undersigned also agrees
and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of
Shares or Related Securities held by the undersigned and the undersigned’s Family Members, if any, except in compliance with the
foregoing restrictions.
Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to transfers to the Company in a transaction exempt from Section 16(b)
of the Exchange Act upon a vesting event of the Shares or upon the vesting, exercise or settlement of options, restricted stock units
or warrants to purchase Shares (including, in each case, on a “cashless” or “net exercise” basis or to cover tax
withholding obligations of the undersigned in connection with such vesting or exercise); provided that any Shares issued upon such exercise
shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this agreement; or in any transaction involving a sale of Shares intended solely to
cover the withholding tax obligations in connection with the vesting or settlement of restricted stock units.
Furthermore, the undersigned
may enter into any new plan established in compliance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act; provided that (i) such plan may only be established
if no public announcement or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or other applicable regulatory authority, is made in
connection with the establishment of such plan during the Lock-Up Period and (ii) no sale of Shares are made pursuant to such plan during
the Lock-Up Period.
With respect to the registration
statement that is contemplated to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Company
to register the resale of the Shares to be sold in the Private Placement only, the undersigned waives any registration rights relating
to registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any Shares and/or Related Securities owned either of record or beneficially,
directly or indirectly, by the undersigned (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, and of the Shares purchased in the Private Placement).
The undersigned confirms that
the undersigned has not, and has no knowledge that any Family Member has, directly or indirectly, taken any action designed to or that
might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate
the sale of the Shares. The undersigned will not, and will cause any Family Member not to, take, directly or indirectly, any such action.
The undersigned acknowledges
and agrees that the Placement Agents have not provided any recommendation or investment advice nor have the Placement Agents solicited
any action from the undersigned with respect to the Private Placement and the undersigned has consulted the undersigned’s own legal,
accounting, financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent deemed appropriate by the undersigned.
Whether or not the Private
Placement occurs as currently contemplated or at all depends on market conditions and factors. The Private Placement will only be made
pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation among the Company and the investors party thereto.
The undersigned understands that if the Company notifies the Placement Agents in writing, prior to entering into the Securities Purchase
Agreement, that it does not intend to proceed with the Private Placement, then the undersigned shall be released from all obligations
under this letter agreement.
The undersigned hereby represents
and warrants that the undersigned has full power, capacity and authority to enter into this letter agreement. This letter agreement is
irrevocable and will be binding on the undersigned and the undersigned’s successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns.
This letter agreement may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S.
federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com or www.echosign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart
so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and valid and effective for all purposes.
This letter agreement shall
be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflict of
laws principles thereof.

WHEREAS, the Purchasers
signatory hereto constitute the Requisite Holders and the Company and the Requisite Holders desire to amend the Purchase Agreement in

NOW, THEREFORE, in

Aprea Therapeutics
Announces Oversubscribed $30 Million Private Placement
· Financing led by Soleus Capital with participation from Vestal Point Capital,
Squadron Capital Management and additional new and existing investors
DOYLESTOWN, PA, March 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
— Aprea Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: APRE) (“Aprea”, or the “Company”), a clinical-stage precision
medicine oncology company focused on the discovery and development of targeted therapies for patients with biomarker-defined cancers,
today announced that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement for an oversubscribed private placement financing that is expected
to result in total gross proceeds of approximately $30 million to the Company before deducting placement agent fees and other private
placement expenses (the “Offering”).
The private placement was led by Soleus Capital
with participation from other new investors, including Vestal Point Capital and Squadron Capital Management, existing investors and certain
insiders of the Company.
In connection with the Offering the Company plans
to sell (i) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 37.2 million shares of common stock (“Pre-Funded
Warrants”), for a purchase price equal to $0.808, minus $0.001 per Pre-Funded Warrant, and (ii) warrants to purchase up to
an aggregate of approximately 37.2 million shares of common stock. The warrants to be issued will have an exercise price of $0.683 per
share, will be exercisable immediately upon issuance, and will expire on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2029, and (ii) 30
calendar days after the exercise of a holder’s Pre-Funded Warrant on a pro rata basis.
The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering
are estimated to be approximately $30 million before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other estimated Offering expenses.
The Company intends to use the upfront net proceeds from the private placement for general corporate purposes and for research and development
expenses. The Offering is expected to close on or about March 31, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
In addition to the existing biomarker-enriched
cohorts under evaluation in the ongoing ACESOT-1051 Phase 1 trial, Aprea plans to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek enrollment
of at least 50 patients with uterine serous carcinoma (USC), as well as patients with Cyclin E-overexpressing, platinum-resistant ovarian
cancer (PROC) in order to further assess APR-1051 in selected patient populations with high unmet medical need. The Company currently
anticipates completing dose escalation of the ACESOT-1051 trial in the second quarter of 2027 and currently expects that the proceeds
from the Offering will be sufficient to extend its cash runway into the first quarter of 2028, in each case, based on the Company’s
current business plans and assumptions.
Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. is acting as the
lead placement agent for the private placement. Maxim Group LLC is acting as co-lead placement agent for the private placement.
The offer and sale of the foregoing securities
are being made in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable
state securities laws. Accordingly, the securities may not be reoffered or resold in the United States except pursuant to an effective
registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities
laws. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the resale of the
securities purchased in the private placement.
This press release does not constitute an offer
to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such
offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state. Any
offering of the securities under the resale registration statement will only be made by means of a prospectus.

Aprea
Therapeutics Highlights Positive Emerging Clinical Activity for WEE1
Inhibitor, APR-1051, with a Confirmed Partial Response in the Ongoing
Phase 1 ACESOT-1051 Trial
· Confirmed
partial response at 220 mg indicates anti-tumor activity of APR-1051 in biomarker-defined
cancers
· Early
clinical data suggest the potential of APR-1051 as a best-in-class WEE1 inhibitor
· Emerging
clinical proof of concept responses without class-limiting toxicity to date support Aprea’s
development strategy of differentiated WEE1 inhibition with an improved therapeutic index
· A
further update from the trial is expected in the second quarter of 2026
DOYLESTOWN,
PA, March 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Aprea Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: APRE) (“Aprea”, or the “Company”),
a clinical-stage precision medicine oncology company focused on the discovery and development of targeted therapies for patients with
biomarker-defined cancers, today announced the confirmation of a partial response (PR) in its ongoing ACESOT-1051 trial evaluating APR-1051,
a potent and selective WEE1 kinase inhibitor.
The
confirmed PR was observed in a patient with PPP2R1A-mutated endometrial cancer who is currently being treated at the 220 mg once daily
dose level. Aprea announced on February 18, 2026 that, at their first imaging assessment, this patient achieved a 50% reduction in target
lesion size (meeting RECIST criteria for partial response) as well as a reduction in CA-125 levels. This response was subsequently confirmed
at the second image assessment, with an additional 9.5% reduction in target lesion size, and a reduction in CA-125 to 40.2U/ml (from
362 U/mL at baseline).
ACESOT-1051
is a biomarker focused Phase 1 trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity
of APR-1051 in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring cancer-associated genetic alterations. A total of 24 patients have been
treated to date, at doses ranging from 10 mg to 220 mg once daily. Two patients have achieved partial responses, both with endometrial
cancers harboring PPP2R1A mutations. One of these responses has been confirmed, as described above. Both patients remain on treatment.
Five
other patients in ACESOT-1051 have achieved a best overall response of stable disease, including patients with HPV+ head and neck squamous
cell carcinoma (HNSCC), colorectal and endometrial cancers with relevant genomic alternations. APR-1051 has been generally safe and well
tolerated with the most common adverse events reported as Grade 1 or 2, primarily consisting of nausea and fatigue.
“The
data emerging from the ACESOT-1051 trial continue to support the clinical potential of APR-1051, with confirmation of a partial response
in the 220 mg cohort indicating evidence of sustained anti-tumor activity,” said Eugene Kennedy, MD, Chief Medical Advisor at Aprea. “APR-1051
appears to be generally well-tolerated with an encouraging therapeutic window and overall, these findings strengthen our confidence in
the ability of this candidate to successfully target WEE1 in genetically defined cancers, where patients face significant unmet need.”
Dose
escalation is ongoing, with plans to advance to Dose Level 9 (300 mg once daily) in the second quarter of 2026. In parallel, the company
plans to enroll additional patients as specified in the protocol based on the understanding that their tumor types or specific mutations
gives them an increased probability of responding to this class of potential therapeutics. This includes patients with uterine serous
carcinoma (a subset of endometrial), colorectal and HPV+ tumors. For more information on ACESOT-1051, refer to ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06260514.
