Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On October 16, 2026, Curis, Inc.
(the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers named
therein (the “Purchasers”), for the purchase and sale of 16,666,680 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s
common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) (or pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock in
lieu thereof, (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”)) and common warrants to purchase up to 16,666,680 shares of Common Stock (the “Common
Warrants”) at an effective combined price of $0.51 per Share (or $0.50 per Pre-Funded Warrant) and accompanying Common Warrant (the
“Offering”). The Common Warrants have an exercise price of $0.60 per share, will be exercisable six months following their
issuance and will expire five and a half years from the issuance date. The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share
and will be exercisable immediately until exercised in full.
The gross proceeds from the Offering are expected to be approximately
$8.5 million, before deducting placement agents’ fees and other Offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of
this Offering to fund its research and development activities and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Proceeds from the
Offering are expected to be sufficient to fund operations through the Company's initial Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) data in 5-10
patients in December 2026. The Offering is expected to close on or about October 19, 2026 (the “Closing Date”),
subject to market conditions and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners acted as the lead placement
agent and Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd. (together, the “Placement Agents”) acted as co-placement agent in connection
with the Offering.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations, other
obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement
were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and
may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The foregoing description of the Purchase
Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such Purchase Agreement, a
copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants
The Common Warrants will be exercisable
six months following their issuance and will terminate on April 19, 2032.
Under the terms of the Common Warrants,
the Company may not effect the exercise of any Common Warrant, and the Purchasers will not have the right to exercise any portion of any
Common Warrant if, upon giving effect to such exercise, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Purchaser
(together with its affiliates) would exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as elected by the Purchaser at the date of issuance, of the number of shares
of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined
in accordance with the terms of such warrant, which percentage may be increased at the Purchaser’s election upon 61 days’
notice to the Company subject to the terms of such warrants, provided that such percentage may in no event exceed 19.99%,. To the extent
that specified beneficial ownership limitations described above restrict the exercise of the Common Warrants, a Purchaser may choose,
in lieu of receiving Common Stock upon exercise of such Warrants, to receive a Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase an identical number of shares
of Common Stock it would have received upon the exercise of its Common Warrant, except that the applicable exercise price of the applicable
Common Warrant will instead be the exercise price less $0.01 per share, and the resulting issued Pre-Funded Warrant will have an exercise
price of $0.01 per share. Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable immediately upon issuance and continuing through and including the
date the Pre-Funded Warrant is exercised in full.
In certain circumstances, upon a fundamental
transaction (as described in the Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable) and generally including any reclassification,
reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock, the sale, lease, license, assignment, conveyance, transfer or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, the Company’s consolidation or merger with or into another person in
which the Company is not the surviving entity, the acquisition of more than 67% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, or any
person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 67% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and in connection
with such transaction the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property), the holders of Common Warrants
(and any Pre-Funded Warrants) will be entitled to receive upon exercise of such warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other
property that the holders would have received had they exercised the warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
upon certain fundamental transactions, the holders of the Common Warrants will have the right to require the Company or a successor entity
to repurchase such Common Warrants at their value determined using a Black Scholes option pricing formula; provided that if (i) the
fundamental transaction is not approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, and therefore not within the Company’s control,
or (ii) the alternate consideration payable to holders of Common Stock in such fundamental transaction consists of equity securities
of the successor or acquirer that are quoted or listed on a nationally recognized securities exchange, then the holder of such warrants
will only be entitled to receive from the Company or the successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion),
determined based on the value of such warrant using a Black Scholes option pricing formula, that is being offered and paid to the holders
of Common Stock in connection with the fundamental transaction.
The foregoing descriptions of the Pre-Funded
Warrant and Common Warrant do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of
Pre-Funded Warrant and the Form of Common Warrant, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively,
to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
Registration Rights Agreement
On October 16, 2026, the Company
entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Purchasers, pursuant to which
the Company agreed to register for resale the Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants
and Common Warrants (the “Warrant Shares", and together with the Shares, the “Registrable Securities”). Under the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale by the Purchasers of their
Registrable Securities no later than 30 days following the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”). The Company has agreed to
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable and to keep such
registration statement effective until the earlier of the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement
have been sold or can be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or
any successor thereof) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company has agreed
to be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities.
In the event (i) the registration
statement has not been filed by the Filing Deadline, (ii) the registration statement is not declared effective prior to the earliest
of (a) five business days after the date on which the Company is notified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
that the registration statement will not be reviewed by the SEC staff or is not subject to further comment by the SEC staff, (b) the
90th day following the closing of the Offering, if the SEC staff determines not to review the registration statement, or (c) the
120th day following the closing of the Offering, if the SEC staff determines to review the registration statement, or (iii) after
the registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to the registration statement for any
reason, subject to certain limited exceptions, then the Company has agreed to make pro rata payments to each Purchaser as liquidated damages
in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by each such Purchaser in the Registrable Securities per 30-day period or
pro rata for any portion thereof for each such 30-day period during which such event continues, subject to certain caps set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement.
The Company has granted the Purchasers
customary indemnification rights under the Registration Rights Agreement. The Purchasers have also granted the Company customary indemnification
rights under the Registration Rights Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Registration Rights Agreement
were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and
may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The foregoing description of the Registration
Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such Registration Rights
Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by
reference.
Amendment to January 2026 Warrants and August 2026
Warrants
The Company also has agreed that certain
existing Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) and Series C Common Stock Purchase
Warrants (together with the Series A Warrants, the “January Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,126,676 shares of Common
Stock issued by the Company on January 8, 2026 and all of the Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to 3,733,334 shares of
Common Stock issued by the Company on August 13, 2026 (the “August Warrants”) will be amended such that the January Warrants
and August Warrants will have a reduced exercise price of $0.60 per share.
The foregoing description of the amendments
to the January Warrants and August Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the full text of such amendments, copies of which is filed herewith as Exhibits 4.3 and 4.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and
are incorporated herein by reference.
Placement Agency Agreement
Pursuant to a Placement Agency Agreement
entered into by and among the Company and the Placement Agents on October 16, 2026 (the “Placement Agency Agreement”),
the Company has agreed to pay to the Placement Agents collectively a cash fee of 6.5% of gross proceeds from the total amount of securities
sold, as well as reimburse the placement agents’ reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal expenses incurred in connection with
the Offering in an aggregate amount not to exceed $85,000 and up to $10,000 in non-accountable expenses.
The foregoing description of the Placement
Agency Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such Placement Agency
Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by
reference.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information contained above in Item 1.01 related to the
Offering is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. Based in part upon the representations of the Purchasers in the Purchase
Agreement, the offering and sale in the Offering of shares of Common Stock, Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants (collectively, the
“PIPE Securities”) is being conducted pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities
Act. The PIPE Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and the PIPE Securities may not
be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
The Offering will not involve a public offering and will be made without general solicitation or general advertising. The Purchasers represented
that they are institutional “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7), (8) or (9) under
the Securities Act or “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and
that they are acquiring the PIPE Securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition
of the PIPE Securities in violation of the United States federal securities laws.

PRE-FUNDED COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
CURIS, INC.
Warrant Shares: [●]
Initial Exercise Date: October 19, 2026
Issue Date: October 19, 2026
THIS PRE-FUNDED COMMON STOCK
PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, [●] or its assigns (the “Holder”)
is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after
the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and through and including the date this Warrant is exercised in full
(the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Curis, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), up to [●] shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”)
of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”). The purchase price of one share of Common
Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b) herein.
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 October 16, 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 facsimile copy
or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto, and delivered in accordance
with the notice requirements set forth in Section 5(h) (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within 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 (as defined below) for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of
Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below
is applicable and specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any
medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all
of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant
to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the
Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder
shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable
number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and
the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within two (2) Trading Days of receipt
of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions
of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase
hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
1
b) Exercise
Price. The aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except for a nominal exercise price of $0.01 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 $0.01 per Warrant Share) shall be required to be paid by the Holder to any Person to effect any exercise of this Warrant. The
Holder shall not be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-paid aggregate exercise price under any circumstance
or for any reason whatsoever. The remaining unpaid exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.01, subject
to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
c) Cashless
Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof in accordance with the terms 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)(68) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at
the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise
or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s
execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a
Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular
trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable
Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered
pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;
2
(B) =
the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X) =
the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such
exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If Warrant Shares
are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and for purposes of Rule 144, the holding
period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant (provided, in each case, that the Commission
continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such exercise). The Company agrees not to take any position
contrary to this Section 2(c), except to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation.
“Bid Price”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed
or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading
Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New
York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if 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 the Common
Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company.
3
“VWAP”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed
or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date)
on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30
a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB 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 the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
d) Mechanics
of Exercise.
i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased
hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s
balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if
the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement covering the resale
of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) in the case of a cashless exercise of the Warrant, the Warrant Shares are eligible for
resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and in each case, at the request of the Holder,
in electronic book entry form to the account of the Holder or by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s
share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to
such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the number of Trading Days comprising
the Standard Settlement Period subject to the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and at the time of delivery of the aggregate
Exercise Price to the Company (other than in the case of a cashless 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. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number
of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of
the Notice of Exercise.
ii. Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and
upon surrender of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights
of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be
identical with this Warrant.
4
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 (subject to receipt of the aggregate exercise price for the applicable exercise (other than in the case
of a cashless exercise)), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if
the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above
pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information
provided by the Holder to the Company and subject to receipt of the aggregate exercise price for the applicable exercise (other than in
the case of a cashless exercise)), and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by
the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company
shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number
of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver, but did not timely deliver, to the Holder in connection with the exercise
at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option
of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored
(in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have
been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases
Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of 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 within two (2) Trading Days after
the occurrence of a Buy-In indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence
of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder,
at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s
failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
5
v. No
Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall,
at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the
Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
vi. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental
expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant
Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however,
that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for
exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and the
Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
The Company shall, to the extent applicable, pay all Transfer Agent fees required for processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees
to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for electronic delivery
of the Warrant Shares.
vii. Closing
of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,
pursuant to the terms hereof.
6
e) Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise
any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise
as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting
as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)),
would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence,
the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude
the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised
or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject
to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, 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 from the Company or the Transfer Agent to the Holder setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Upon the written request of a Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm in writing to the Holder the number of
shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after
giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution
Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may increase or decrease
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event
exceeds 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any
increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to
the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with
the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with
the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give
effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
7
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this Warrant
for a number of Warrant Shares in excess of that number of Warrant Shares which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause (i) the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial
ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including any “group” of which the Holder is a member, to exceed 19.99%
of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company following such exercise, or (ii) the combined
voting power of the securities of the Company beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial
ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act to exceed
19.99% of the combined voting power of all of the securities of the Company then outstanding following such exercise. For purposes of
this Section 2(e), the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock or voting securities beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates
and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act shall include the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the 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 (x) exercise of the remaining
unexercised and non-cancelled portion of this Warrant by the Holder and (y) exercise or conversion of the unexercised, non-converted
or non-cancelled portion of any other securities of the Company that do not have voting power (including without limitation any securities
of the Company which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including without limitation any debt, preferred
stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise
entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock), are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein and are beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common
Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
Section 3. Certain
Adjustments.
a) Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes
a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of
Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this
Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way
of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issues by reclassification
of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by
a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately
before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event,
and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price
of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
8
b) 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).
c) Pro
Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution
of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including,
without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification,
corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after
the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent
that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise
of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)
immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution; provided, however,
that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership
of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance
for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation.
9
d) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person and the Company is not the surviving entity
(other than reincorporation in a different state or a similar transaction pursuant to which the surviving company remains a public company),
(ii) the Company (and all of its subsidiaries, taken as a whole), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment,
transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s (including its subsidiaries, taken as a whole)
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 67% of the voting power of the capital
stock of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification,
reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively
converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, 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 67% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company and in connection with such transaction the Common Stock
is converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (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(d)(viii) on the exercise of this Warrant), the securities, cash and other property of the successor
or acquiring corporation (or ultimate parent thereof) or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, as applicable, (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(d)(viii) on
the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted
to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock
in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable
manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given
any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same
choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company
shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”)
to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) 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 the Alternate Consideration,
and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such Alternate Consideration (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). 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.
e) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For
purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be
the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
f) Notice
to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this
Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or 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.
10
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution
in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the
Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for
or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall
be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its
Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the
Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile
or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least
10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken,
the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants
are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected
to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof
shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided
in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company
shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled
to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice
except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
Section 4. Transfer
of Warrant.
a) Transferability.
Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions
of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration
rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated
agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed
by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such
surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee
or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the
assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder
has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading
Days of the date on which the Holder delivers the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney
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.
11
b) New
Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company,
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or
its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination,
the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be
identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant
Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder
of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other
purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer
Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this
Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable
state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information
requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee
of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
e) Representation
by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise
hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or
reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant
to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No
Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends
or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly
set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant
to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be
required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
12
b) Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case
of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include
the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make
and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
c) Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or
granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading
Day.
d) Authorized
Shares.
The Company covenants
that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number
of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further
covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the
necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action
as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation,
or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares
which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any
transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the
extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate
of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or
any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate
to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately
prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly
and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may
be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
13
Before taking any
action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price,
the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory
body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e) Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of
law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by this Warrant shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party
hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan
for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein,
and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject
to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding.
Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding
by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address
in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and
notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in
such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and
expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
f) 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 (notwithstanding the fact that the right to
exercise this Warrant terminates on the Termination Date). 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.
14
h) Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice
of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier

FORM OF WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
CURIS, INC.
Warrant Shares: [_________] Issue Date: October 19,
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 six (6) months
after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to 5:00 P.M. New York City time on April 19,
2032 (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Curis, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), up to [_________] shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”)
of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”). The purchase price of one share of Common
Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b) herein.
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 October 16, 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 facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted
by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto, and delivered in accordance with the notice requirements
set forth in Section 5(h) (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within 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 (as defined below) for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer
or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below
is applicable and specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any
medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all
of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant
to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the
Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder
shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable
number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and
the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within two (2) Trading Days of receipt
of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions
of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase
hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price.
The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.60, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Cashless Exercise.
If at the time of exercise hereof in accordance with the terms 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)(68) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such
Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading
Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price
of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution
of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on
a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours
after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the
VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise
is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof
after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;
(B) =
the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X) =
the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant
if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If Warrant Shares are issued
in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act,
the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and for purposes of Rule 144, the holding period
of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant (provided, in each case, that the Commission
continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such exercise). The Company agrees not to take any position
contrary to this Section 2(c), except to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation. For the avoidance of doubt,
the cashless exercise procedure specified in this Section 2(c) shall not be first available prior to the effectiveness deadlines
for the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) set forth in Section 2(d)(ii)(A) of the Registration
Rights Agreement.
“Bid Price”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed
or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading
Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New
York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if 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 the Common
Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company.
“VWAP”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed
or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date)
on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30
a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB 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 the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
d) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery of Warrant
Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the
Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through
its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either
(A) there is an effective registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) in the case
of a cashless exercise of the Warrant, the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations
pursuant to Rule 144, and in each case, at the request of the Holder, in electronic book entry form to the account of the Holder
or by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee,
for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the
Notice of Exercise by the date that is the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period subject to the delivery to
the Company of the Notice of Exercise and at the time of delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company (other than in the case
of a cashless 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. As used herein, “Standard
Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary
Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
ii. Delivery of New Warrants
Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender
of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder
to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with
this Warrant.
iii. Rescission Rights.
If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by
the Warrant Share Delivery Date (subject to receipt of the aggregate exercise price for the applicable exercise (other than in the case
of a cashless exercise)), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. Compensation for Buy-In
on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company
fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above
pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information
provided by the Holder to the Company and subject to receipt of the aggregate exercise price for the applicable exercise (other than in
the case of a cashless exercise)), and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by
the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company
shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number
of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver, but did not timely deliver, to the Holder in connection with the exercise
at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option
of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored
(in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have
been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases
Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of 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 within two (2) Trading Days after
the occurrence of a Buy-In indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence
of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder,
at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s
failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v. No Fractional Shares
or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either
pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round
up to the next whole share.
vi. Charges, Taxes and
Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental
expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant
Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however,
that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for
exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and the
Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
The Company shall, to the extent applicable, pay all Transfer Agent fees required for processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees
to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for 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, 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 from the Company or the Transfer Agent to the Holder setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon
the written request of a Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm in writing to the Holder the number of shares
of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect
to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties
since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”
shall be [4.99]/[9.99]% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds
19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock
upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase
in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice
is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict
conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or
inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable
to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not be entitled to exercise
this Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares in excess of that number of Warrant Shares which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would
cause (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons
whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including any “group” of which the Holder is a member,
to exceed 19.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company following such exercise, or (ii) the
combined voting power of the securities of the Company beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose
beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act to exceed 19.99% of the combined voting power of all of the securities of the Company then outstanding following such exercise. For
purposes of this Section 2(e), the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock or voting securities beneficially owned by the Holder
and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes
of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act shall include the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the 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
(x) exercise of the remaining unexercised and non-cancelled portion of this Warrant by the Holder and (y) exercise or conversion
of the unexercised, non-converted or non-cancelled portion of any other securities of the Company that do not have voting power (including
without limitation any securities of the Company which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including
without limitation any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock), are subject to a limitation on conversion or
exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein and are beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and other Persons
whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act.
Section 3. Certain
Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and
Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution
or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which,
for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common
Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of
shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant
shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after
the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b) Subsequent Rights Offerings.
In addition to (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).
c) Pro Rata Distributions.
During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets
(or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation,
any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement,
scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant,
then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have
participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without
regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the
date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares
of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution; provided, however, that, to the extent
that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation,
then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares
of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the
benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation.
d) Fundamental Transaction.
If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects
any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person and the Company is not the surviving entity (other than reincorporation
in a different state or a similar transaction pursuant to which the surviving company remains a public company), (ii) the Company
(and all of its subsidiaries, taken as a whole), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance
or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s (including its subsidiaries, taken as a whole) 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 67% of the outstanding voting power of the common equity
of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization
or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into
or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than a stock split), 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 67% of the outstanding voting power of the common equity of the Company (each, a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then, if such Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Initial Exercise Date, this Warrant shall become immediately
exercisable as of immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, and, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant,
the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior
to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on
the exercise of this Warrant), the securities, cash and other property of the successor or acquiring corporation (or ultimate parent thereof)
or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, as applicable, (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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a
Fundamental Transaction in which the holders of the voting securities of the Company as of immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction
will not, following such Fundamental Transaction, directly or indirectly own at least 50% of the voting securities of the surviving entity
or Successor Entity (as defined below), as applicable, and in which the Company is not the Successor Entity, the Company or any Successor
Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within thirty (30) days after,
the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction),
purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of
the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however,
if (1) the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board
of Directors, or (2) the Alternate Consideration payable to holders of the Company’s Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction
consists of equity securities of the Successor Entity or acquiring entity that are quoted or listed on a nationally recognized securities
exchange, then Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity or acquiring entity, as applicable, as
of the date of consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the
Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common
Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination
thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection
with the Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option
Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation
of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the
U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction
and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT
function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement
of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the
sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such
Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the greater of (x) the last VWAP immediately prior to the public announcement of such Fundamental
Transaction and (y) the last VWAP immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining
option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination
Date. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days of
the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction). The Company shall cause any successor
entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in
writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) 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 the Alternate Consideration,
and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such Alternate Consideration (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). 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.
e) Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes
of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of
the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
f) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise
Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver
to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the
number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise
by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the
Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize
the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class
or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of
the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all
or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash
or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile
number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 10 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.
g) Voluntary Adjustment
By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant,
subject to the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed
appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability.
Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions
of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration
rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated
agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed
by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such
surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee
or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the
assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder
has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading
Days of the date on which the Holder delivers the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney
to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder
for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New Warrants. This
Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with
a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.
Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall
execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such
notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical
with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant Register.
The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”),
in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the
absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual
notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer Restrictions.
If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not
be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities
or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements
pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant,
as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
e) Representation by the
Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof,
will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling
such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to
sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder
Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as
a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i) herein, 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.
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.
i. The Company covenants that
during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares
to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants
that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be
necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or
of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which
may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any
transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
iii. Except and to the extent
as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate
of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or
any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate
to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately
prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly
and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may
be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment
in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations
or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e) Governing Law. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated
by this Warrant shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication
of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably
waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof
via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices
to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party
shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding
shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
f) 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 (notwithstanding the fact that the right to exercise this Warrant
terminates on the Termination Date). Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails
to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder
such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including
those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of
its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
h) Notices. Any and
all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of
Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service,
addressed to the Company, at 128 Spring Street, Building C - Suite 500, Lexington, Massachusetts 02421, Attn: Chief Financial Officer
or e-mail: dduvall@curis.com and notices@curis.com or such other facsimile number, email address or address as the Company may specify
for such purposes by notice to the Holders. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder
shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed
to each Holder at the facsimile number, e-mail address or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company. Any notice or
other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the time of transmission,
if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this
Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission,
if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this
Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second
Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt
by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
i) Limitation of Liability.
No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of
any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
j) Remedies. The Holder,
in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance
of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by
reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for
specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
k) Successors and Assigns.
Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and
be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions
of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder
or holder of Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment. This
Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holder,
on the other hand.
m) Severability. Wherever
possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if
any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
n) Headings. The headings
used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
o) Pre-Funded Warrants
in lieu of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, to the extent the limitations set forth in Section 2(e) hereof
restrict the exercise of this Warrant into Warrant Shares, the Holder may choose, in lieu of receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise of
this Warrant, to receive a Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase an identical number of shares of Common Stock that it would have received upon
the exercise of this Warrant for shares of Common Stock; provided, however that the Exercise Price shall instead be the Exercise Price
less $0.01 per share, and the resulting issued Pre-Funded Warrant shall have an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign
corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification

to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a
material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company
and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material
respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse

than in connection with the Required Approvals. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party has been (or
upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will

Effect.
(e) Filings,
Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to,

which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the Securities
or (ii) would, if there were an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither

is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary
information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third
party, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability
with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local

approval where in each clause (i), (ii) and (iii), the failure to so comply would be reasonably expected to have, individually or
in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Regulatory
Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except
where the failure to possess such permits would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material
Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of any Material Permit.
(o) Title
to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them and good
and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in
each case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially
interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries, (ii) Liens for the payment
of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in accordance with GAAP and, the payment of
which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties and (iii) Liens that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries
are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance in all
material respects.
(p) Intellectual
Property. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications,
service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights
necessary or required for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and where the failure to
so have would have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). Neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary has received a written notice that any of the material Intellectual Property Rights has expired, terminated or been
abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, other than
in accordance with the terms of the Intellectual Property Rights. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date
of the most recent unaudited financial statements included within the SEC Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge
that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as would not have or reasonably be expected
to not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there
is no material existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have
taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except
where failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(q) Insurance.
The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in
such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase
in cost.
(r) Related
Person Transactions. There are no business relationships or related person transactions, as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under
the Exchange Act, involving the Company or any subsidiary or any other person required to be described in the SEC Reports which have
not been described as required.
(s) Sarbanes-Oxley;
Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with any and all applicable
requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations
promulgated by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. The Company and the Subsidiaries
maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed
in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted
only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is
compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. 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 that
have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company
and its Subsidiaries.
(t) Certain
Fees. Except for fees and commissions payable by the Company to the Placement Agents in connection with this transaction, no brokerage
or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company or any Subsidiary to any broker, financial advisor or consultant,
finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
The Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons
for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.

Company. The Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Shares and Warrants will not be, an “investment
company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(v) Registration
Rights. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports and in the Registration Rights Agreement, no Person has any right to cause the Company
or any Subsidiary to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company or any Subsidiary.
(w) Listing
and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act,
and the Company has taken no action designed to terminate, 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 set forth 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 Common Stock is currently eligible for electronic
transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation and the Company is current in payment of the
fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer.
(x) Disclosure.
Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the information
on Schedule A that has been orally conveyed to each of the Purchasers, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting
on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might
constitute material, non-public information. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation
in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers
regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby is true and correct
in all material respects as of the date made and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
(it being understood that such disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers includes the SEC Reports). 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.
(y) 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 Securities under the Securities Act or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on which
any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(z) Tax
Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local income and
all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has
paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns,
reports and declarations, except for such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have
been established by the Company 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.
(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 six (6) months from the Closing Date.
(bb) Indebtedness.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, (i) except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, has any outstanding debt securities,
notes, credit agreements, credit facilities or other agreements, documents or instruments evidencing Indebtedness of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound, (ii) has any financing statements
securing obligations in any amounts filed in connection with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) is in violation of any
term of, or in default under, any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, except where such violations and defaults
would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) is a party to any contract, agreement
or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, the performance of which, in the judgment of the Company’s officers, has or is expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement: (x) “Indebtedness” of any Person means, without duplication
(A) all indebtedness for borrowed money, (B) all obligations issued, undertaken or assumed as the deferred purchase price of
property or services (including, without limitation, “finance leases” in accordance with GAAP) (other than trade payables
entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice), (C) all reimbursement or payment obligations, currently
due and payable, with respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and other similar instruments, (D) all obligations evidenced by
notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments, including obligations so evidenced incurred in connection with the acquisition of property,
assets or businesses, (E) all indebtedness created or arising under any conditional sale or other title retention agreement, or
incurred as financing, in either case with respect to any property or assets acquired with the proceeds of such indebtedness (even though
the rights and remedies of the seller or bank under such agreement in the event of default are limited to repossession or sale of such
property), (F) all monetary obligations under any leasing or similar arrangement which, in connection with GAAP, consistently applied
for the periods covered thereby, is classified as a finance lease, (G) all indebtedness referred to in clauses (A) through
(F) above secured by (or for which the holder of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured
by) any Lien upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by any Person, even though the Person which
owns such assets or property has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness, and (H) all Contingent Obligations
in respect of indebtedness or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (G) above; and (y) “Contingent
Obligation” means, as to any Person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or otherwise, of that Person with respect to
any Indebtedness, lease, dividend or other obligation of another Person if the primary purpose or intent of the Person incurring such
liability, or the primary effect thereof, is to provide assurance to the obligee of such liability that such liability will be paid or
discharged, or that any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the holders of such liability will be protected (in
whole or in part) against loss with respect thereto.
(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 accounting firm is PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. To the knowledge and belief of the Company, such accounting firm is
a registered public accounting firm as required by the Exchange Act.
(ee) Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely
in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby.
The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity)
with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their
respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely
incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s
decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the
transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives. The Company has not relied upon the Placement Agents or any
of its or their Affiliates or representatives for any legal, tax or accounting advice in connection with the offering and sale of the
Securities.
(ff) Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except
for Sections 3.2(g) and 4.14 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 (except in accordance with the securities laws); (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 stockholders' equity interests
in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned
hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.
(gg) Regulation
M Compliance. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly,
any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate
the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or, paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of,
any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other
securities of the Company, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), compensation paid to the Placement Agents in connection
with the placement of the Securities.

any lawsuit, arbitration, or legal or administrative or regulatory proceeding, charge, complaint, or investigation) against the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice, warning letter or other communication

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 is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing
or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law. Such Purchaser
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 a registration statement
filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such
Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
(c) Restricted
Securities. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under
the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law in reliance on the availability of an exemption from such registration and
that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain
limited circumstances.
(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 the Warrants, it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2),
(a)(3), (a)(7), (a)(8) or (a)(9) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined
in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is a sophisticated investor, with sufficient knowledge and experience
in investing in private equity transactions to properly evaluate the risks and merits of its purchase of the Securities.
(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.
(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 Agents nor any Affiliate or representative of the Placement Agents have provided such Purchaser with any information or
advice with respect to the Company or the Securities nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. Neither the Placement Agents
nor any Affiliate or representative of the Placement Agents has made or makes any representation as to the Company or the quality of
the Securities and the Placement Agents and any Affiliate or representative of the Placement Agents 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 Agents nor any of its or their Affiliates or representatives have 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 notice of the transaction contemplated hereunder (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company
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 (except for Section 4.14) 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) No
General Solicitation. Such Purchaser did not learn of the investment in the Securities as a result of any general or public solicitation
or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including, without limitation, (i) any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, website, or similar media, or broadcast over television
or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications.
(i) Legends.
It is understood that, except as provided below, certificates or book-entry records evidencing the Securities may bear the following

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.”
ii. If required by the authorities of any state

authority.
(j) Residency.
Such Purchaser’s office in which its investment decision with respect to the Securities was made is located at the address immediately
below such Purchaser’s name on its signature page hereto, except as otherwise communicated in writing by such Purchaser to
the Company.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the
representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document
or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation
or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions
in the future.
ARTICLE IV.

Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any sale, assignment, transfer

of this Agreement, if requested by the Purchaser, the Company shall request the Transfer Agent to remove any restrictive legends related
to the book entry account holding such Shares or Warrant Shares and to make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry shares sold or

the Company has timely received from such Purchaser customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company
in connection therewith.
(b) Subject
to receipt from the Purchaser by the Company and the Transfer Agent of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable
to the Company and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith, upon the earliest of such time as the Shares and Warrant Shares (i) have
been registered under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) have been sold pursuant to Rule 144,
or (iii) are eligible for resale under Rule 144(b)(1) without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with
the current public information requirements under Rule 144(c)(1) (or any successor thereto), the Company shall, in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 4.1(b) and within one (1) Trading Day of any request therefor from a Purchaser accompanied
by such customary and reasonably acceptable documentation referred to above, (A) deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions
that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry Warrant Shares, and (B) cause its counsel to deliver
to the Transfer Agent one or more opinions to the effect that the removal of such legends in such circumstances may be effected under
the Securities Act if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
The Company agrees that following the time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1, it will, within one (1) Trading
Day of the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing shares issued with a restrictive
legend and receipt from the Purchaser by the Company and the Transfer Agent of customary representations and other documentation reasonably
acceptable to the Company and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate
representing such Warrant Shares (or uncertificated interest therein) that is free from all restrictive and other legends. Warrant Shares
subject to legend removal hereunder may be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s
prime broker with the DTC System as directed by such Purchaser. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its Transfer Agent and
all DTC fees associated with such issuance.
(c) Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company (i) that such Purchaser will sell any Securities
only pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements,
or an exemption therefrom, (ii) that if Shares or Warrant Shares are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold
in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein and (iii) that if, after the effective date of the registration statement
covering the resale of the Shares and Warrant Shares, such registration statement ceases to be effective and the Company has provided
notice to such Purchaser to that effect, such Purchaser will sell Shares and Warrant Shares only in compliance with an exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
4.2 Integration.
The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in
Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require
the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers or that would be integrated with the offer
or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder
approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent
transaction.
4.3 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 otherwise publicly disseminate the information on Schedule A, 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 and the dissemination of the information set forth on Schedule A hereto,
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 or agents in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective upon the issuance of such press release, the
Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral,
between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates on the one
hand, and any of the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate. 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, to the extent permitted by law, provide the Purchasers with prior
notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).
4.4 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.
4.5 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 4.3, 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 to the receipt of such information
and agreed 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, in any case acting on behalf of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, 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, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or
any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public
information, provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. Unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable parties,
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 file such material, non-public information with the Commission
pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing
covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
4.6 Use
of Proceeds. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares and Warrants hereunder for research, development,
working capital, and other general corporate purposes.
4.7 Indemnification
of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.7, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors,
officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person
holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents,
members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding
a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any
and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in
settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or
incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the
Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any
capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser
Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is solely based upon a material
breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or
understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal
securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or
willful misconduct). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume
the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the
right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized
by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel
or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position
of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses
of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any
settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser
Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement
or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar
right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
4.8 Exculpation
of Placement Agents. Each party hereto agrees for the express benefit of the Placement Agents and their affiliates and representatives
that the Placement Agents and their affiliates and representatives (i) shall not be liable for any improper payment made in accordance
with the information provided by the Company; (ii) make no representation or warranty, and have no responsibilities as to the validity,
accuracy, value or genuineness of any information, certificates or documentation delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to
this Agreement or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including any offering or marketing materials; and
(iii) shall not be liable (A) for any action taken, suffered or omitted by any of them in good faith and reasonably believed
to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon them by this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or (B) for
anything which any of them may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Document, except in each
case for such person’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
4.9 Listing
of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common
Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote
all of the Shares and the Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares and 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 Shares and the Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is reasonably
necessary to cause all of the Shares and 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 its Common Stock on a Trading Market
and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations of which it has control under the bylaws
or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through
the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to
the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
4.10 Reservation
of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at
all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue
Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.
4.11 Subsequent
Equity Sales. From the date hereof until thirty (30) days following the effective date of the registration statement filed pursuant
to the Registration Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue
or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or (ii) file with the SEC
a registration statement under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities other than pursuant to the terms of the Registration
Rights Agreement or a registration statement on Form S-8 or, in connection with an acquisition, a registration statement on Form S-4,
other than in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement or as otherwise necessary to maintain the registration of the Shares
and Warrant Shares governed by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.11 shall not apply in respect of an
Exempt Issuance.
4.12 Equal
Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) 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 such Transaction Document. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right
granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers
as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition
or voting of Securities or otherwise.
4.13 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 4.3. 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 4.3,
such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and any other information provided to
such Purchaser in connection with 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 (other than as set forth in clause (ii) above),
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 4.3, (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 4.3 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade
in the securities of the Company to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.3.
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.
4.14 Exercise
Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers
in order to exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers
to exercise their Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall
any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required in order to exercise
the Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions
and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.
ARTICLE V.
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever
on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been
consummated on or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date hereof; provided, however, that no such
termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).
5.2 Fees
and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses
of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation,
preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees (including, without
limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any exercise notice delivered
by a Purchaser), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.
5.3 Entire
Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, 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

5.5 Amendments;
Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in
the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchasers which purchased at least 50.1% in interest of the Shares based on the initial
Subscription Amounts hereunder 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 to this Agreement effected
in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities and the Company. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, no amendment, modification, alteration, change or waiver of Sections 4.8 and 5.8
and this sentence in Section 5.5 shall be valid without the prior written consent of the Placement Agents, which consent may be
granted or withheld in the sole discretion of such Placement Agents.
5.6 Headings.
The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.
5.7 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser
(other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns
or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities,
by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”
5.8 No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Placement Agents shall be third-party beneficiaries 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 4.7 and this Section 5.8. Each of the Company
and each of the Purchasers agrees and acknowledges that the Placement Agents may rely on its representations, warranties, agreements
and covenants contained in this Agreement, as if such representations, warranties and covenants, as applicable, were made directly to
the Placement Agents.
5.9 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed
by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts
of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates,
directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts
sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents),
and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing
a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect
for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the
obligations of the Company under Section 4.7, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing
party for its reasonable attorney’s 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 for two (2) years
following the Closing Date.
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 facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery
of a “.pdf” format data file or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act or other applicable law (e.g., www.docusign.com), 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, “.pdf”
or “electronic” signature page were an original thereof.
5.12 Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force
and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts
to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or
unenforceable.
5.13 Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any
of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document
and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind
or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in
whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of a rescission of an exercise
of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded exercise
notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration
of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement
warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).
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 may choose to communicate with the Company through
the legal counsel of the Placement Agents. The legal counsel of the Placement Agents does not represent any of the Purchasers and only
represents the Placement Agents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for
the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood
and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser,
solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.18 Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for
the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may
be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
5.19 Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents
and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party
shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference
to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits,
stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.
5.20 Further
Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute
and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to
carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
5.21 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES
EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY
AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

(a) Registration
Statements.
(i) Promptly
following the Closing Date but no later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company
shall prepare and file with the SEC one Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities. Subject to any
SEC comments, such Registration Statement shall include the plan of distribution, substantially in the form and substance attached hereto
as Exhibit A; provided, however, that no Investor shall be named as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement
without the Investor’s prior written consent. Such Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the Securities
Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock
resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such Registration Statement
shall not include any shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of any other holder without the prior written consent
of the Required Investors. Such Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of
effectiveness thereof) shall be provided in accordance with Section 3(c) to the Investors prior to its filing or other submission.
(ii) The
Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(a)(i) shall be on Form S-3. In the event that 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 such other form as is available to the Company and (ii) so long as Registrable Securities remain outstanding, promptly
following the date (the “Qualification Date”) upon which the Company becomes eligible to use a registration statement
on Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities for resale, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the Qualification
Date (the “Qualification Deadline”), file a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities
(or a post-effective amendment on Form S-3 to a registration statement on Form S-1) (a “Shelf Registration Statement”)
and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable
thereafter; provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as
a Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.
(b) Expenses.
The Company will pay all expenses associated with each Registration Statement, including filing and printing fees, the Company’s
counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities
laws and listing fees, but excluding discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities
industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold.
(c) Effectiveness.
(i) The
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have each Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable
after such Registration Statement has been filed with the SEC. The Company shall notify the Investors by facsimile or e-mail as promptly
as practicable, and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours, after any Registration Statement is declared effective and shall
provide the Investors with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities
covered thereby.
(ii) For
not more than thirty (30) consecutive days or for a total of not more than sixty (60) days in any twelve (12) month period, the Company
may suspend the use of any Prospectus included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Section in the event that the Company
determines in good faith that such suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of material nonpublic information concerning
the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company
or (B) amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement or Prospectus
shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (an
“Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (a) notify each Investor in writing of the commencement
of an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of an Investor) disclose to such Investor any material nonpublic
information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Investors in writing to cease all sales under such Registration Statement
until the end of the Allowed Delay and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable.
(d) Effect
of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement.
(i) If
a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, the Company
will make pro rata payments to each Investor then holding Registrable Securities, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty (the “Registration
Liquidated Damages”), in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for the initial
day of failure to file such Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline and for each subsequent 30-day period (pro rata for any portion
thereof) thereafter for which no such Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such payments shall
be made to each Investor then holding Registrable Securities in cash no later than ten (10) Business Days after the end of the date
of the initial failure to file such Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline and each subsequent 30-day period (pro rata for any
portion thereof) until such Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities. Interest shall accrue at the rate
of one percent (1.0%) per month on any such liquidated damages payments that shall not be paid by the applicable payment date until such
amount is paid in full.
(ii) If
(A) a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the SEC prior to the earlier of (i) five
(5) Business Days after the SEC informs the Company that no review of such Registration Statement will be made or that the SEC has
no further comments on such Registration Statement or (ii) the 90th day after the Closing Date (or the 120th
day after the Closing Date if the SEC reviews such Registration Statement); provided, however, that such time periods shall be tolled
on a day-for-day basis for so long as the Company’s audited financial statements are stale pursuant to Rule 3-12(b) of
Regulation S-X, or (B) after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to such
Registration Statement for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of a stop order or the Company’s failure to update
such Registration Statement), but excluding any Allowed Delay or the inability of any Investor to sell the Registrable Securities covered
thereby due to market conditions (each of (A) and (B), a “Maintenance Failure”), then the Company will make pro
rata payments to each Investor then holding Registrable Securities, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty (the “Effectiveness
Liquidated Damages” and together with the Registration Liquidated Damages, the “Liquidated Damages”), in
an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for the Registrable Securities then held by such
Investor for the initial day of a Maintenance Failure and for each 30-day period (pro rata for any portion thereof) thereafter until the
Maintenance Failure is cured (each, a “Blackout Period”). The Effectiveness Liquidated Damages shall be paid monthly
within ten (10) Business Days of the end of the date of such Maintenance Failure and each subsequent 30-day period (pro rata for
any portion thereof), as applicable. Such payments shall be made to each Investor then holding Registrable Securities in cash. Interest
shall accrue at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month on any such liquidated damages payments that shall not be paid by the applicable
payment date until such amount is paid in full.
(iii) The
parties agree that (1) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Purchase Agreement, no Liquidated Damages shall
be payable with respect to any period after the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (it being understood that this sentence shall not
relieve the Company of any Liquidated Damages accruing prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period), and in no event shall the
aggregate amount of Liquidated Damages payable to an Investor exceed, in the aggregate, six percent (6.0%) of the aggregate purchase price
paid by such Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (2) except with respect to (A) the initial day of failure to file
a Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline and (B) the initial day of any Maintenance Failure, in no event shall the Company
be liable in any thirty (30) day period for Liquidated Damages under this Agreement in excess of one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate purchase
price paid by the Investors pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
(iv) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company and the Investors agree that the Company will not be liable for any Liquidated Damages under this Section 2(d) with
respect to any Registrable Securities prior to their issuance. The Liquidated Damages described in this Section 2(d) shall constitute
the Investors’ exclusive monetary remedy for any failure to meet the Filing Deadline and for any Maintenance Failure, but shall
not affect the right of the Investors to seek injunctive relief.
(v) In
the event the number of shares available under any Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities required
to be covered by such Registration Statement or any Investor’s allocated portion of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall
amend such Registration Statement (if permissible), or file with the SEC a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor,
if applicable), or both, so as to cover such Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
such amendment to such Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to become effective as soon
as practicable following the filing thereof with the SEC. The calculation of the applicable amount of Registrable Securities shall be
made without regard to any limitations on conversion or exercise of the Shares or Warrant Shares.
(e) Rule 415;
Cutback. If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a 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 Investor to be named as an “underwriter,” the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to advocate before
the SEC its reasonable position that the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an
offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Investors is an “underwriter.”
The Investors shall have the right to select one legal counsel to review and oversee any registration or matters pursuant to this Section 2(e),
including participation in any meetings or discussions with the SEC regarding the SEC’s position and to comment on any written submission
made to the SEC with respect thereto, which counsel shall be designated by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities. In
the event that, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 2(e), the
SEC does not alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from such Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities
(the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale
of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively,
the “SEC Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name any Investor as an “underwriter”
in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Investor. Any cut-back imposed on the Investors pursuant to this
Section 2(e) shall be allocated among the Investors on a pro rata basis and shall be applied first to any of the Registrable
Securities of such Investor as such Investor shall designate, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or provide or the Investors
otherwise agree. No liquidated damages shall accrue as to any Cut Back Shares until such date as the Company is able to effect the registration
of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions applicable to such Cut Back Shares (such date, the “Restriction
Termination Date”). From and after the Restriction Termination Date applicable to any Cut Back Shares, all of the provisions
of this Section 2 (including the Company’s obligations with respect to the filing of a Registration Statement and its obligations
to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective within the time periods set forth herein
and the liquidated damages provisions relating thereto) shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares; provided, however, that (i) the
Filing Deadline and/or the Qualification Deadline, as applicable, for such Registration Statement including such Cut Back Shares shall
be ten (10) Business Days after such Restriction Termination Date, and (ii) the date by which the Company is required to obtain
effectiveness with respect to such Cut Back Shares under Section 2(c) shall be the 90th day immediately after the
Restriction Termination Date (or the 120th day if the SEC reviews such Registration Statement).
3. Company
Obligations. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance
with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain continuously effective for a period
that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement,
as amended from time to time, have been sold, and (ii) the date on which all Shares and Warrant Shares cease to be Registrable Securities
(the “Effectiveness Period”);
(b) prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus as may be
necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby;
(c) provide
copies to and permit each Investor to review each Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto no fewer than two
(2) days prior to their filing with the SEC and to furnish reasonable comments thereon;

to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such
Registration Statement (other than any portion thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment),
and (ii) such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a preliminary Prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and
such other documents as each Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned
by such Investor that are covered by such Registration Statement;
(e) use
commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if
such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest practical moment;
(f) prior
to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Investors
and their counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for the offer and sale under the
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions requested by the Investors and do any and all other commercially reasonable acts or
things necessary or advisable to enable the distribution in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify
to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(f), (ii) subject
itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be so subject but for this Section 3(f), or (iii) file
a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(g) use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital
Market (or the primary securities exchange, interdealer quotation system or other market on which similar securities issued by the Company
are then listed);
(h) promptly
notify the Investors, at any time prior to the end of the Effectiveness Period, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event
as a result of which, the Prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing (provided that such
notice shall not, without the prior written consent of an Investor, disclose to such Investor any material nonpublic information regarding
the Company), and promptly prepare, file with the SEC and furnish to such holder a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as
may be necessary so that such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;
(i) otherwise
use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC 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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the Investors 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 Investors 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; and make available to its security
holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined below), an earnings statement covering
a period of at least twelve (12) months, beginning after the effective date of each Registration Statement, which earnings statement
shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, including Rule 158 promulgated thereunder (for the
purpose of this subsection 3(i), “Availability Date” means the 45th day following the end of the fourth fiscal quarter
that includes the effective date of such Registration Statement, except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the
Company’s fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the 90th day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter);
(j) if
requested by an Investor, (i) as soon as reasonably practicable, incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities,
including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price
being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) as soon as
reasonably practicable, make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the
matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) as soon as reasonably practicable,

(k) within
two (2) Business Days after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, deliver
to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such
Registration Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC; and
(l) with
a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation
of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell shares of Common Stock to the public without registration, covenant and agree
to: (i) make and keep adequate current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144,
until the earlier of (A) six months after such date as all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction by the holders
thereof pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as all of the Registrable Securities
shall have been resold or shall have otherwise ceased to be Registrable Securities; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all
reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and (iii) furnish to each Investor upon request, as long
as such Investor owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, (B) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail such Investor of any rule or
regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration.
4. Due
Diligence Review; Information. The Company shall, upon reasonable prior notice, make available, during normal business hours and for
reasonable periods, for inspection and review by the Investors, and advisors to and representatives of the Investors (who may or may not
be affiliated with the Investors and who are reasonably acceptable to the Company) (collectively, the “Inspectors”),
all pertinent financial and other records, and all other pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the
“Records”), as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of such review, and cause the Company’s officers,
directors and employees, within a reasonable time period, to supply all such information reasonably requested by the Inspectors (including,
without limitation, in response to all questions and other inquiries reasonably made or submitted by any of them), prior to and from time
to time after the filing and effectiveness of such Registration Statement for the sole purpose of enabling the Investors and their accountants
and attorneys to conduct initial and ongoing due diligence with respect to the Company and the accuracy of such Registration Statement;
provided, however, that each Inspector shall have agreed in writing to hold in strict confidence and to not make any disclosure (except
to such Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which
determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement
or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the Securities Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered
pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information
in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Section 4 or any other
Transaction Document.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
not disclose material nonpublic information to the Investors, or to advisors to or representatives of the Investors, unless prior to the
disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides the Investors,
such advisors and such representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review
and any Investor wishing to obtain such information enters into an appropriate confidentiality and non-use agreement with the Company
with respect thereto.
5. Obligations
of the Investors.
(a) Each
Investor shall furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended
method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable
Securities, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five
(5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of any Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor
of the information the Company requires from such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included
in such Registration Statement. An Investor shall provide such information, including but not limited to a completed questionnaire substantially
in the form of Exhibit B, to the Company at least three (3) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date
of such Registration Statement if such Investor elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement.
(b) Each
Investor, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company
in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in
writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
(c) Each
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of either (i) the commencement of an Allowed Delay pursuant to
Section 2(c)(ii) or (ii) the happening of an event pursuant to Section 3(h) hereof, such Investor will immediately
discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until the
Investor is advised by the Company that such dispositions may again be made.
(d) Each
Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it
or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement.
6. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification
by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its officers, directors, members, employees and agents,
and each other person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus or
final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof or (ii) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation
promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company
in connection with such registration, and will reimburse such Investor, and each such officer, director, member, employee, agent and each
such controlling person for any legal or other documented, out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating
or defending any such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that the Company will not be
liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon (i) an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such
Investor or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus; (ii) the use
by an Investor of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Investor in writing that such Prospectus is
outdated or defective; (iii) an Investor’s failure to send or give a copy of the Prospectus or supplement (as then amended
or supplemented), if required (and not otherwise exempted) to the Persons asserting an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities; or (iv) an Investor’s
bad faith, gross negligence, recklessness, fraud or willful misconduct.
(b) Indemnification
by the Investors. Each Investor agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of
the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any
untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in any Registration Statement or Prospectus
or preliminary Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent,
but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Investor to
the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. Except to the
extent that any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are finally judicially determined to have resulted from an Investor’s
bad faith, gross negligence, recklessness, fraud or willful misconduct, in no event shall the liability of an Investor be greater in amount
than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6
and the amount of any damages such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received
by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification
obligation.
(c) Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the
indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume
the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification
hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses,
(b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists
between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party
in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not
have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified
party to give written notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent
that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation.
It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees
or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except
with the consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned, consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified
party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.
(d) Contribution.
If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified
party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled
to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Except to the extent that any such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities are finally judicially determined to have resulted from a holder of Registrable Securities’ bad faith, gross negligence,
recklessness, fraud or willful misconduct, in no event shall the contribution obligation of such 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 6 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.

Exhibit A
Plan of Distribution
The selling stockholders, which as used herein
includes donees, pledgees, 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,
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 shares or interests therein:
– ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions
in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
– block trades in which the broker-dealer
will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
– 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;
– short sales and settlement of short sales
entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
– through the writing or settlement of options
or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
– broker-dealers may agree with the selling
stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
– a combination of any such methods of sale;
and
– any other method permitted by applicable
law.
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, if they default in the performance
of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under
this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, 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 transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial
owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of our common stock
or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions,
which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders
may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the
common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions
with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to
such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial
institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders
from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any.
Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or
in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this
offering. Upon any exercise of the warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the warrants.
The selling stockholders also may resell all or
a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the
criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
The selling stockholders and any underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within
the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of
the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters”
within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act.
To the extent required, the shares of our common
stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents,
dealers or underwriters, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying
prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
In order to comply with the securities laws of
some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from
registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
We have advised the selling stockholders that the
anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may apply to sales of shares
in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable, we will make
copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose
of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that
participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities
Act.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders
against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares
offered by this prospectus.
We have agreed with the selling stockholders to
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part to remain continuously
effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and
in accordance with such registration statement or (2) the date on which all of the shares may be sold without restriction pursuant
to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

Re:
Placement Agency Agreement
Dear Ms. Duvall:
Subject to the terms and conditions
of this letter agreement (the “Agreement”) between A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Lead Placement Agent”)
and Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd. (the “Co-Placement Agent” and together with the Lead Placement Agent, the
“Placement Agents”) and Curis, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the parties hereby
agree that the Placement Agents shall serve as the exclusive placement agents for the Company, on a “reasonable best efforts”
basis, in connection with the proposed placement (the “Placement”) of securities of the Company, consisting of: shares
(the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) or, in lieu of Shares,
pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) and warrants to purchase Common
Stock (the “Common Warrants” and together with the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Shares, the “Securities”).
The Securities actually placed by the Placement Agents are referred to herein as the “Placement Agent Securities.”
The Shares, the Common Warrants, the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Common Stock underlying the Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants shall
be offered and sold in a private placement pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) contained in Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act. The documents executed and delivered by the Company and the Purchasers (as defined below) in connection with
the Placement, including, without limitation, a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), shall be
collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” The terms of the Placement shall be mutually agreed
upon by the Company and the purchasers listed in the Purchase Agreement (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the
“Purchasers”), and nothing herein constitutes that the Placement Agents would have the power or authority to bind the
Company or any Purchaser, or an obligation for the Company to issue any Placement Agent Securities or complete the Placement. The Company
expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agents’ obligations hereunder are on a reasonable best efforts basis only and
that the execution of this Agreement does not constitute a commitment by the Placement Agents to purchase the Placement Agent Securities
and does not ensure the successful placement of the Placement Agent Securities or any portion thereof or the success of the Placement
Agents with respect to securing any other financing on behalf of the Company. The Placement Agents may retain other brokers or dealers
to act as sub-agents or selected-dealers on their behalf in connection with the Placement; provided, however, that the Company shall first
approve any such sub-agents or selected-dealers. Certain affiliates of the Placement Agents may participate in the Placement by purchasing
some of the Placement Agent Securities. The sale of Placement Agent Securities to any Purchaser will be evidenced by the Purchase Agreement
between the Company and such Purchaser, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Purchaser. Capitalized terms that are not
otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement. Prior to the signing of any Purchase Agreement,
officers of the Company will be available to answer inquiries from prospective Purchasers.

Promptly after receipt by a Placement Agent of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which such Placement Agent is entitled to indemnity hereunder, such Placement Agent will notify the Company in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any obligation it may have hereunder, except and only to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by the Company of substantial rights and defenses or materially adversely impacts the Company. If the Company so elects or is requested by a Placement Agent, the Company will assume the defense of such action or proceeding and will employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Placement Agent and will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Placement Agents will be entitled to employ its own counsel separate from counsel for the Company and from any other party in such action if counsel for the Placement Agents reasonably determines that it would be conflict of interest under the applicable rules of professional responsibility for the same counsel to represent both the Company and the Placement Agents. In such event, the reasonable fees and disbursements of no more than one such separate counsel will be paid by the Company, in addition to reasonable fees of local counsel. The Company will have the right to settle the claim or proceeding provided that the Company will not settle any such claim, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Placement Agents, which will not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
C.
The Company agrees to notify the Placement Agents promptly of the assertion against it or any other person of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding relating to a transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
D.
If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to the Placement Agents or insufficient to hold the Placement Agents harmless (other than due to the express provisions thereof), then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Placement Agents as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agents on the other, but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agents on the other that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The amounts paid or payable by a party in respect of losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees and expenses incurred in defending any litigation, proceeding or other action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, the Placement Agents’ share of the liability hereunder shall not be in excess of the amount of fees actually received, or to be received, by the Placement Agents under this Agreement (excluding any amounts received as reimbursement of expenses incurred by the Placement Agents).
E.
These indemnification provisions shall remain in full force and effect whether or not the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is completed and shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have to any indemnified party under this Agreement or otherwise.
SECTION 7. ENGAGEMENT
TERM. The Placement Agents’ engagement hereunder will be until the earlier of the Closing Date and November 9, 2026 (the
“Term”). The date of termination of this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Termination Date.”
In the event, however, in the course of the Placement Agents’ performance of due diligence they deem it necessary to terminate the
engagement, the Placement Agents may do so prior to the Termination Date. The Company may elect to terminate the engagement hereunder
for any reason prior to the Termination Date but will remain responsible for fees pursuant to Section 3 hereof with respect to the
Placement Agent Securities if sold in the Placement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions concerning
the Company’s obligation to pay any fees actually earned pursuant to Section 3 hereof and the provisions concerning confidentiality,
indemnification and contribution contained herein, as well as provisions in Sections 9 and 11 hereof will survive any expiration or termination
of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the completion of the Placement, all fees and expenses due to the Placement
Agents as set forth in Section 3 and Section 4 shall be paid by the Company to the Placement Agents (in the event such fees
are earned or owed as of the Termination Date). The Placement Agents agree not to use any confidential information concerning the Company
provided to the Placement Agents by the Company for any purposes other than those contemplated under this Agreement.
SECTION 8. PLACEMENT
AGENTS’ INFORMATION. The Company agrees that any information or advice rendered by the Placement Agents in connection with this
engagement is for the confidential use of the Company only in its 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 Agents’ prior
written consent.
SECTION 9. 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 Agents are 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 the Placement Agents hereunder,
all of which are hereby expressly waived.
SECTION 10. CLOSING.
The obligations of the Placement Agents, and the closing of the sale of the Placement Agent Securities hereunder are subject to the accuracy,
when made and on the Closing Date, of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company contained herein and in the Purchase
Agreement, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and in the Purchase Agreement, and to each of the following
additional terms and conditions, except as otherwise disclosed to and acknowledged and waived by the Placement Agents:
A.
All corporate proceedings and other legal matters incident to the authorization, form, execution, delivery and validity of each of this Agreement, the Placement Agent Securities, and all other legal matters relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby with respect to the Placement Agent Securities shall be reasonably satisfactory in all material respects to the Placement Agents.
B.
The Placement Agents shall have received from Company counsel, such counsel’s written legal opinion with respect to the Placement Agent Securities in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agents.
C.
The Placement Agents shall have received executed Lock-Up Agreements from the Company’s executive officers and directors.
D.
The class of Common Stock sold in the Placement, including shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants, must be registered under the Exchange Act. The Company shall have taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of such class of 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.
E.
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 Placement Agent 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 Placement Agent Securities or materially and adversely affect or potentially and adversely affect the business or operations of the Company.
F.
The Company shall have entered into a Purchase Agreement with each of the Purchasers of the Placement Agent Securities and such agreements shall be in full force and effect and shall contain representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as agreed upon between the Company and the Purchasers.
G.
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 Agents, make or authorize Placement Agents’ 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.
H.
The Placement Agents shall have received customary certificates from one or more of the Company’s executive officers, as to the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement and a certificate of the Company’s secretary certifying (i) that the Company’s charter documents are true and complete, have not been modified and are in full force and effect; (ii) that the resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors relating to the Placement are in full force and effect and have not been modified; and (iii) as to the incumbency of the officers of the Company.
If any of the conditions specified
in this Section 10 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement, all obligations of the Placement Agents
hereunder may be cancelled by the Placement Agents at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date. 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 11. 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 principles of conflicts of law thereof that would require the application
of the laws of any other jurisdiction. 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 courts of the State of New York or into the Federal
Court located in New York, 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 this Agreement, 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.
SECTION 12. ENTIRE
AGREEMENT/MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto, and supersedes
all prior agreements and understandings, relating to the subject matter hereof. 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 the Placement Agents and the Company. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants
contained herein shall survive the Closing Date of the Placement and delivery of the Placement Agent 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.
SECTION 13. 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 date of transmission, if such notice or communication is sent to the e-mail
address specified on the signature pages attached hereto prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a business day, (b) the
next business day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is sent to the e-mail address on the signature pages attached
hereto on a day that is not a business day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any business day, (c) the third business
day following the date of mailing, if sent by an internationally recognized air courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the
party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature
pages hereto.
SECTION 14. PRESS
ANNOUNCEMENTS. The Company agrees that the Placement Agents shall, on and after the Closing Date, have the right to reference the
Placement and the Placement Agents’ role in connection therewith in the Placement Agents’ marketing materials and on their
websites and to place advertisements in financial and other newspapers and journals, in each case at their own expense and in compliance
with applicable securities laws.
Please confirm that the foregoing
correctly sets forth our agreement by signing and returning to the Placement Agents the enclosed copy of this Agreement.
