1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
June 4, 2026, Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the
“Securities Purchase Agreement”) with those institutional accredited investors identified on the signature page thereto
(the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company offered for sale to the Purchasers an aggregate of 25,000,000
shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “common stock”), together
with common warrants (the “common warrants”) to purchase up to 25,000,000 shares of common stock (the “offering”). The
combined purchase price per share of common stock and accompanying common warrant was $0.40. The offering was made pursuant
to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-275843), which was declared effective by the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 12, 2023, a base prospectus included in the registration statement at
the time it originally became effective, and a prospectus supplement, dated June 4, 2026, filed with the SEC on June 8, 2026
pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Prospectus Supplement”).
The
common warrants will be exercisable beginning on the six month anniversary of the initial issuance date at an exercise
price of $0.40 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, and will expire on the six year anniversary
of the initial exercise date. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a common warrant.
In lieu of fractional shares, the Company will round up to the next whole share. The common warrants also provide that in the
event of a fundamental transaction, the Company is required to cause any successor entity to assume its obligations under the common
warrants. In addition, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as such term is defined in the common warrant), the holder of
the common warrant will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the common warrant the kind and amount of securities, cash or property
that the holder would have received had the holder exercised the common warrant immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the holders of the common warrants will have the right to
require the Company or a successor entity to purchase the common warrant for cash in the amount of the Black Scholes Value (as defined
in the common warrant) of the unexercised portion of the common warrants concurrently with or within 30 days following the consummation
of a Fundamental Transaction. However, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction which is not in the Company’s control, including
a Fundamental Transaction not approved by the Company’s board of directors, the holders of the common warrants will only be entitled
to receive from the Company or its successor entity, 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 of the unexercised portion of the common warrant that
is being offered and paid to the holders of common stock in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration is
in the form of cash, stock or any combination of cash and stock, or whether the holders of common stock are given the choice to receive
alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction.
The
common warrants initially provide that the holder may not exercise any portion of the common warrants to the extent that
the holder (together with its affiliates) would exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of such common warrant.
Such percentage may be increased or decreased to any number not in excess of 9.99% at the holder’s election upon notice to the
Company, any such change not to take effect until the 61st day after notice to the Company.
Except as
otherwise provided in the common warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of common stock, the holder of a common
warrant will not have the rights or privileges of a holder of common stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises
such common warrant.
The
closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about June 8, 2026. The Company expects the gross proceeds from the offering
to be $10.0 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital needs and for other
general corporate purposes.
The
Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and customary conditions to
closing.
The
foregoing descriptions of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the common warrants are not complete and are qualified
in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the form of common warrant, copies
of which are included as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 4.1, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.
The
representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement
and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Securities Purchase Agreement and may be subject to limitations
agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, the Securities Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference only to provide
investors with information regarding the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and not to provide investors with any other factual
information regarding the Company or its business, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in the Company’s periodic
reports and other filings with the SEC.
The
legal opinion, including the related consent, of Porter Hedges LLP relating to the issuance and sale of the shares
of common stock, the common warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the
common warrants is filed as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
In
connection with the offering, Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (“Ladenburg”) acted
as exclusive placement agent. Pursuant to an engagement letter with Ladenburg, the Company agreed to pay Ladenburg a
cash fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds received in the offering and to reimburse certain expenses of Ladenburg
up to $50,000.

Section
2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation as soon as reasonably practicable after 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 on the Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, upon exercise of a portion of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
2
b)
Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $[ ], subject to adjustment hereunder
(the “Exercise Price”).
c)
Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus
contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in
whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number
of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A)
= as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of
Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and
delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in
Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either
(y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common
Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. 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, assuming that no commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exercise,
the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, including with respect to the holding
period and/or the registration thereof. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).
3
d)
Mechanics of Exercise.
i.
Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by
the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository
Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant
in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale
of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of
a certificate or by electronic delivery through books and records maintained by the Company’s transfer agent (at the election of
the Holder), 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 earliest of (i) one (1) Trading Day after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day
after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement
Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”)
; provided, however, that in the event the Holder duly delivers the Notice of Exercise to the Company but has not delivered
the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company within two (2) Trading Days of delivery of such Notice of Exercise, the Warrant Share Delivery
Date shall be deemed to occur one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company. Upon delivery of the
Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with
respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of
the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by the Warrant Share Delivery Date. If the Company
fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date,
the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject
to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing
to $20 per Trading Day beginning five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant
Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer
agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard
Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary
Trading Market (or the OTCQB or OTCQX, depending upon which of these the Common Stock trades if the Common Stock is not listed on a Trading
Market) with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Standard Settlement Period as of the date of this Warrant is one (1) Trading Day.
4
ii.
Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of
a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in
all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii.
Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section
2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv.
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to
the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions
of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required
by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares
of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon
such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x)
the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and mark-ups, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder
in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed,
and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such
exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common
Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example,
if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise
of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company with written notice indicating
the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing
herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares
of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
5
v.
No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise
of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company
shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
vi.
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax
or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company,
and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided,
however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when
surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed by the
Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental
thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the
Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic
delivery of the Warrant Shares.
vii.
Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise
of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
6
e)
Holder’s Exercise Limitations.
i.
Beneficial Ownership Limitation. 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, and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership
of the shares of Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act (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 held by such Holder and all other Attribution
Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is
being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised
portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion
of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock
Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the
Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e),
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.
To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in
relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant
is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates
and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation,
and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination (other than to the extent that the information
on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is provided by the Company, either directly or through one or more public filings
relied upon by the Holder). In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected
in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and
in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by
the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was
reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, upon election by a Holder in compliance with this
Section 2(d) prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company,
may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance
of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to
apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered
to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with
the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended
Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to
such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section
3. Certain Adjustments.
a)
Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise
makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares
of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this
Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse
stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the
Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which
the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of
shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant
shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for
the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b)
Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants,
issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record
holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire,
upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had
held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise
hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for
the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares
of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to
the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership
of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held
in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation).
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).
8
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, (ii) the Company (or any Subsidiary),
directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially
all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange
offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender
or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding
Common Stock or more than 50% of the 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, or (v)
the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business
combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another
Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or more
than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any
subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable
upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to
any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation
or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”)
receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this
Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such
Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental
Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the
relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the
securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate
Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor
entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in
writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder
(without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange
for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to
this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity)
equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on
the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder
to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental
Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the
purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and
which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental
Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently
with, or within 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, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved
by the Company’s Board of Directors, Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity, as of the
date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), valued
at the Black Scholes Value 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; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration
in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which
Successor Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such 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 (1) 100%, (2) the 30 day volatility, (3) the 100 day volatility or (4) the 365 day volatility, each of clauses (2)-(4) as
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 highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately
preceding the announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, if earlier)
and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request pursuant to this Section 3(d), 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 and (E) a zero cost
of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration)
within the later of (i) five Business Days of the Holder’s election and (ii) the date of consummation 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 and the other Transaction Documents in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and
approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver
to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar
in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity
(or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard
to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the
exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant
to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise
price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction,
the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions
of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity),
and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the
other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3(d) regardless of whether the Company has sufficient
authorized shares of Common Stock for the issuance of Warrant Shares.
9
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 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. For purposes of clarification,
whether or not the Company provides any such notice, each Holder shall only be required to pay the adjusted Exercise Price with respect
to such exercise, regardless of whether a Holder accurately refers to such price in any Notice of Exercise If the aggregate Exercise
Price paid by the Holder exceeds the amount that should have been paid based on the adjusted Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly
return any excess aggregate Exercise Price to the Holder.
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 any Fundamental Transaction, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the
Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register (as defined below) of the Company, at least twenty (20)
calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record
is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the
date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants
are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected
to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof
shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided
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.
10
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 attached hereto duly executed by
the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such
surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee
or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to
the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder
has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days
of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned
in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b)
New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of
the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by
the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division
or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided
or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Issue 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.
11
e)
Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant
and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to
or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
a)
No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights,
dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly
set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant
to Section 2(c), or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv), 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 Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business
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).
12
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 articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but
will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary
or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise
immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof,
as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from
any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e)
Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined
in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
f)
Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and
the Holder does not utilize the “cashless exercise” feature, 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 or the Purchase
Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages
to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but
not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any
amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
h)
Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall
be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
13
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 (or the beneficial owner of this Warrant), 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.

Based
on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that (i) the Shares
have been duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the SPA, will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, (ii) the Common Warrants have been duly authorized and, when executed and delivered by the Company will constitute the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles and (iii) the Warrant Shares have
been duly authorized and, when issued and paid for upon the due exercise of the Common Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof,
will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
The
opinions set forth above are limited in all respects to matters of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the applicable

On the Closing Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company

aggregate of $[___] of Shares and Common Warrants; provided, however, that, to the extent
that a Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that such Purchaser (together with such
Purchaser’s Affiliates, and any Person acting as a group together with such Purchaser
or any of such Purchaser’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, or as such Purchaser may otherwise choose, in lieu of purchasing Shares
such Purchaser may elect to purchase Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu of Shares in such manner
to result in the same aggregate purchase price being paid by such Purchaser to the Company.
In each case, the election to receive Pre-Funded Warrants is solely at the option of the
Purchaser. Each Purchaser’s Subscription Amount as set forth on the signature page
hereto executed by such Purchaser shall be made available for “Delivery Versus Payment”
settlement with the Company or its designee. The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser
its respective Securities, and the Company and each Purchaser shall deliver the other items
set forth in Section 2.2 deliverable at the Closing. On the Closing Date, the Company will
(A) cause the Transfer Agent to issue the Shares in book-entry form, free and clear of all
restrictive and other legends (except as expressly provided in Section 4.13 hereof), (B)
deliver to each Purchaser Common Warrants exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock
as set forth on the signature page of this Agreement with respect to such Purchaser, and
(C) deliver to each Purchaser that elected to receive Pre-Funded Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants
exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock as set forth on the signature page of
this Agreement with respect to such Purchaser. Upon satisfaction of the covenants and conditions
set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3, the Closing shall take place remotely by electronic transfer
of the Closing documentation. Unless otherwise directed by the Placement Agent, settlement
of the Shares shall occur via “Delivery Versus Payment” (i.e., on the Closing
Date, the Company shall issue the Shares registered in the Purchasers’ names and addresses
and released by the Transfer Agent directly to the account(s) at the Placement Agent identified
by each Purchaser; upon receipt of such Shares, the Placement Agent shall promptly electronically
deliver such Shares to the applicable Purchaser, and payment therefor shall be made by the
Placement Agent (or its clearing firm) by wire transfer to the Company). Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if at any time on or after the time of execution of this
Agreement by the Company and an applicable Purchaser, through, and including the time immediately
prior to the Closing (the “Pre-Settlement Period”), such Purchaser sells
to any Person all, or any portion, of the Shares to be issued hereunder to such Purchaser
at the Closing (collectively, the “Pre-Settlement Shares”), such Purchaser
shall, automatically hereunder (without any additional required actions by such Purchaser
or the Company), be deemed to be unconditionally bound to purchase, such Pre-Settlement Shares
at the Closing; provided, that the Company shall not be required to deliver any Pre-Settlement
Shares to such Purchaser prior to the Company’s receipt of the purchase price of such
Pre-Settlement Shares hereunder; and provided further that the Company hereby acknowledges
and agrees that the forgoing shall not constitute a representation or covenant by such Purchaser
as to whether or not during the Pre-Settlement Period such Purchaser shall sell any shares
of Common Stock to any Person and that any such decision to sell any shares of Common Stock
by such Purchaser shall solely be made at the time such Purchaser elects to effect any such
sale, if any. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and a Purchaser’s Subscription
Amount set forth on the signature pages attached hereto, the number of Shares purchased by
a Purchaser (and its Affiliates) hereunder shall not, when aggregated with all other shares
of Common Stock owned by such Purchaser (and its Affiliates) at such time, result in such
Purchaser beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act) in excess of 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock outstanding at the
Closing (the “Beneficial Ownership Maximum”), and such Purchaser’s
Subscription Amount, to the extent it would otherwise exceed the Beneficial Ownership Maximum
immediately prior to the Closing, shall be conditioned upon the issuance of Securities at
the Closing to the other Purchasers signatory hereto. To the extent that a Purchaser’s
beneficial ownership of the Securities would otherwise be deemed to exceed the Beneficial
Ownership Maximum, such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount shall automatically be reduced
as necessary in order to comply with this paragraph. Purchaser shall not engage in net short
sales prior to Closing.
2.2. Deliveries.
2.2.1. On
or prior to the Closing Date (except as indicated below), the Company shall deliver or cause

adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial
or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material
adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely
basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material
Adverse Effect”) and no Proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction
revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority

duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action
is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s stockholders in
connection herewith or therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals. This
Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Company is a party has been (or
upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance

Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited
by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally,
(ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive

the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the issuance and sale of the Securities

past or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including,

activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including
without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Warrant Shares deliverable with
respect to the Securities are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities (if any)
could reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interests in the Company
at and after the time that the hedging activities are conducted. The Company acknowledges

Documents. Each Purchaser will comply with Regulation M and anti-manipulation laws.

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):
3.2.1. 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.
21
3.2.2. Understandings
or Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own
account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons
to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting
such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement
or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser
is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
3.2.3. Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities it was, and as of the date
hereof it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3),
(a)(7), (a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12) or (a)(13) under the Securities Act.
3.2.4. 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.
3.2.5. Access
to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review
the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports
and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary
of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and
conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the
Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results
of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to
evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information
that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is
necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Such Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate of the Placement
Agent has provided such Purchaser with any information or advice with respect to the Securities
nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. Neither the Placement Agent nor any
Affiliate has made or makes any representation as to the Company or the quality of the Securities
and the Placement Agent and any Affiliate may have acquired non-public information with respect
to the Company which such Purchaser agrees need not be provided to it. In connection with
the issuance of the Securities to such Purchaser, neither the Placement Agent nor any of
its Affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to such Purchaser.
22
3.2.6. Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated
hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to
any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales,
including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of
the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company
or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material pricing terms of
the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment
vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s
assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made
by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation
set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio
manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives,
including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors,
employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all
disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms
of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing
contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions,
with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions
in the future.
3.2.7. Independent
Investment Decision. Each Purchaser has independently evaluated the merits of its decision
to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement. Each Purchaser understands that nothing
in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the
Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment
advice. Each Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its
sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the
Securities.
3.2.8. Acknowledgment
of Risk. Each Purchaser acknowledges and understands that its investment in the Securities
involves a significant degree of risk, including, without limitation: (i) the Company may
remain a development stage business with limited operating history and requires substantial
funds in addition to the proceeds from the sale of the Securities; (ii) an investment in
the Company is speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment
should consider investing in the Company and the Common Stock; (iii) each Purchaser may not
be able to liquidate its investment; (iv) transferability of the Securities is extremely
limited; (v) in the event of a disposition of the Securities, the Purchaser could sustain
the loss of its entire investment; (vi) the Company has not paid any dividends on its Common
Stock since inception and does not anticipate the payment of dividends in the foreseeable
future; (vii) the foregoing risks are more fully set forth in the SEC Reports; and (viii)
that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency
has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness
or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon
or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.
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.
4. Other
Agreements of the Parties
4.1. Furnishing
of Information. Until the time that no Purchaser owns Securities, the Company covenants
to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace
period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to
the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of
the Exchange Act.
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 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.
23
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 (b) file
a Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto, with
the Commission within the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance
of such press release, the Company represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly
disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees,
Affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective upon the
issuance of such press release, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality
or similar obligations under any agreement entered into connection with the transaction contemplated
by this Agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries
or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, Affiliates or agents,
including without limitation, the Placement Agent, on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers
or any of their Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate and be of no further force
or effect. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the
foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. The Company and
each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall
issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior
consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the
prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required
by law or the rules of any Trading Market, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly
provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include
the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading
Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required by federal
securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission
and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in
which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure
permitted under this clause (b) and reasonably cooperate with such Purchaser regarding such
disclosure.
4.4. 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.
24
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 in writing to the receipt of such information
and agreed in writing with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company
understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in
effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company, any
of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or Affiliates
delivers any material, non-public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s
consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not have any duty
of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, Affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement
Agent, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, Affiliates or agents including, without limitation, the Placement Agent,
not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser
shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to
any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding
the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously with the delivery of such
notice file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The
Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant
in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

for working capital purposes and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the redemption of any
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, (b) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation
or (c) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.
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, investment
managers, 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, investment managers, 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
reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party 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 such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction
Documents, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser Party, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened action or proceeding in respect of which any Purchaser
Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such
Purchaser Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Purchaser
Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does
not include any statements as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act
by or on behalf of any Purchaser Party. The indemnification required by this Section 4.7
shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained
herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party
against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant
to law.
25
4.8. Listing
and Reservation of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain
the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently
listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all of
the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all
of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the
Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then
include in such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other
action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted
on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action
reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading
Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other
obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain
the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust
Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely
payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation
in connection with such electronic transfer. 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 the exercise of
the Warrants.
4.9. Subsequent
Equity Sales.
4.9.1. From
the date hereof until thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary shall (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or
proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or (ii) file
any registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto, other than the Prospectus
Supplement or filing a registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with any employee
benefit plan.
4.9.2. From
the date hereof until the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall
be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination
of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction”
means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities
that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive
additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange
rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations
for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity
securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being
reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon
the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business
of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction
under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit or an “at-the-market
offering”, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price whereby
the Company may issue securities at a future determined price regardless of whether shares
pursuant to such agreement have actually been issued and regardless of whether such agreement
is subsequently canceled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
4.9.2, sales of Common Stock pursuant to the At Market Issuance Sales Agreement, dated August
8, 2025, between the Company and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. shall be permitted beginning
thirty (30) days after the Closing Date. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive
relief against the Company to preclude any issuance prohibited under this Section 4.9.2,
which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
4.9.3. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.9 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except
that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.
26
4.10. 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.
4.11. Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the
other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant
to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales of
any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of
this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section
4.3. 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 the
information included in the Disclosure Schedules (other than as disclosed to its legal and
other representatives). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained
in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i)
no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage
in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press
release as described in Section 4.3, (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, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agent, including without limitation, the Placement
Agent, after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.3. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (A) 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,
and (B) in the case of a Purchaser that has implemented internal information barriers pursuant
to an information controls policy to “wall off” certain trading personnel, this
Section 4.13 shall apply only with respect to activities of trading personnel who are not
so walled-off from the persons who made the investment decision to purchase the Securities
covered by this Agreement.
4.12. Lock-Up
Agreements. The Company shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of
any of the Lock-Up Agreements except to extend the term of the lock-up period and shall enforce
the provisions of each Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with its terms. If any party to a
Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Lock-Up Agreement, the Company shall promptly
use its best efforts to seek specific performance of the terms of such Lock-Up Agreement.
4.13. Legends.
The Shares shall be issued free of all restrictive legends. If all or any portion of a Warrant
is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the issuance
or resale of the Warrant Shares or if the Warrant is exercised via cashless exercise, the
Warrant Shares issued pursuant to any such exercise shall be issued free of all legends.
If at any time following the date hereof the Registration Statement (or any subsequent registration
statement registering the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares) is not effective or is not
otherwise available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall immediately
notify the holders of the Warrants in writing that such registration statement is not then
effective and thereafter shall promptly notify such holders when the registration statement
is effective again and available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares (it being understood
and agreed that the foregoing shall not limit the ability of the Company to issue, or any
Purchaser to sell, any of the Warrant Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state
securities laws). The Company shall use best efforts to keep a registration statement (including
the Registration Statement) registering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares effective
during the term of the Warrants.
27
5. Miscellaneous
5.1. Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations
hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and
the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been
consummated on or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date hereof;
provided, however, that no such termination will affect the right of any party
to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).
5.2. Fees
and Expenses. 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, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection
with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchaser, as well as the fees and expenses of
the Placement Agent as set forth in the Placement Agency Agreement, by and between the Company
and the Placement Agent.
5.3. Entire
Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto,
the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, contain the entire understanding of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements
and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge
have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.
5.4. Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of:
(a) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email attachment
at the email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto at or prior to 5:30
p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission,
if such notice or communication is delivered via email attachment at the email address as
set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later
than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second (2nd) Trading
Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight 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
attached hereto. 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 notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current
Report on Form 8-K.
28
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% in interest of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants based on the
initial Subscription Amounts hereunder (or, prior to the Closing, the Company and each Purchaser)
or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision
is sought, provided that if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and
adversely impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately
impacted Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) shall also be required. No waiver of any default
with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed
to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver
of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission
of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such
right. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely
affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and
obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely
affected Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding
upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities and the Company.
5.6. Headings.
The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement
and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
5.7. Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or
any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other
than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to
any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such
transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by
the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”
5.8. No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns only, and is not for the benefit
of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
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 attorneys’
fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution
of such Action or Proceeding.
29
5.10. Survival.
The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery
of the Securities.
5.11. Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together
shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts
have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that
the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered
by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create
a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature
is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf” signature page
were an original thereof.
5.12. Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall
in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially
the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It
is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have
executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any
of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
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.
30
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. 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. 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.

Thalmann & Co. Inc.
640 5th Avenue, 4th Floor
New York, NY 10019
RE:
Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. Registered Direct Offering
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
The
undersigned understands that you, as the placement agent (the “Placement Agent”), propose to enter into a placement
agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”), as Placement Agent, with Ocean Power Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), providing for the offer and sale (the “Offering”) of securities of
the Company (the “Securities”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set
forth in the Placement Agency Agreement.
Lock
Up
In
consideration of the Placement Agent’s agreement to act as Placement Agent for the Offering of the Securities, and for other good
and valuable consideration receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent
of the Placement Agent, the undersigned will not, and will not cause any direct or indirect affiliate to, during the period beginning
on the date of the final prospectus supplement relating to the Offering (the “Prospectus”) and ending at the close
of business 30 days after the date of the Prospectus (such period, the “Restricted Period”):
1. offer,
pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option
or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer
or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share,
of the Company (the “Common Stock”) or any securities convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (including without limitation, Common Stock
or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned
in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) (collectively
with the Common Stock, the “Lock-Up Securities”),
2. enter
into any hedging, swap or other agreement or transaction that transfers, in whole or in part,
any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such
transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up
Securities, in cash or otherwise,
2
3. make
any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any Lock-Up Securities,
or
4. publicly
disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.
The
undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing precludes the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transactions or
arrangements (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination
thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) designed or intended, or which
could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale or disposition or transfer (whether by the undersigned or any other person)
of any economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of any Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction
or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise. The
undersigned further confirms that it has furnished the Placement Agent with the details of any transaction the undersigned, or any of
its affiliates, is a party to as of the date hereof, which transaction would have been restricted by this Letter Agreement (the “Letter
Agreement”) if it had been entered into by the undersigned during the Restricted Period.
Lock
Up Exceptions
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the undersigned may:
(a) transfer
or dispose of the undersigned’s Lock-Up Securities:
(i) as
a bona fide gift or gifts, or for bona fide estate planning purposes,
(ii) by
will or intestacy,
(iii) to
any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of
the undersigned, or if the undersigned is a trust, to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust
or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust (for purposes of this Letter Agreement, “immediate
family” shall mean any relationship by blood, current or former marriage, domestic
partnership or adoption, not more remote than first cousin),
(iv) to
a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the undersigned
or the immediate family of the undersigned are the legal and beneficial owner of all of the
outstanding equity securities or similar interests,

a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible
under clauses (i) through (iv) above,

the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other
business entity, (A) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust
or other business entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the undersigned, or to any investment fund or other
entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control with the
undersigned or affiliates of the undersigned (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where
the undersigned is a partnership, to its general partner or a successor partnership or fund,
or any other funds managed by such partnership), or (B) as part of a distribution to members,
partners, shareholders or other equity holders of the undersigned,
(vii) by
operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order, divorce settlement, divorce
decree or separation agreement, or related court order,
3
(viii) to
the Company from an employee of the Company upon death, disability or termination of employment,
in each case, of such employee,

of the vesting, settlement, or exercise of such restricted stock units, options, warrants
or rights, provided that any such shares of Common Stock received upon such exercise, vesting
or settlement (other than such shares as are transferred or surrendered to the Company in
connection with such vesting, settlement or exercise event) shall be subject to the terms
of this Letter Agreement, and provided further that any such restricted stock units, options,
warrants or rights are held by the undersigned pursuant to an agreement or equity awards
granted under a stock incentive plan or other equity award plan, each such agreement or plan
which is described in the Registration Statement, the Incorporated Documents, the Base Prospectus
and the Final Prospectus, or
(xi) pursuant
to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction
that is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and made to all holders of the
Company’s capital stock involving a Change of Control 1 of the Company;
provided that in the event that such tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar
transaction is not completed, the undersigned’s Lock-Up Securities shall remain subject
to the provisions of this Letter Agreement;
1
“Change of Control” shall mean the transfer (whether by tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction),
in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons (other than the Placement Agent pursuant
to the Offering), of shares of capital stock if, after such transfer, such person or group of affiliated persons would hold more than
50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (or the surviving entity).
4
In
addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the undersigned may, without the consent of the Placement Agent, (i) establish
a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (a “10b5-1 Trading Plan”) or amend an existing 10b5-1 Trading
Plan so long as there are no sales of Common Stock of the Company or derivative instruments under such plan during the Restricted Period;
provided that, the establishment of a 10b5-1 Trading Plan or the amendment of a 10b5-1 Trading Plan, in either case, providing
for sales of shares of Common Stock of the Company or any derivative instrument shall only be permitted if (1) the establishment or amendment
of such plan is not required to be reported during the Restricted Period in any public report or filing with the SEC, or otherwise, and
(2) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding the establishment or amendment of such
plan, and (ii) transfer shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to a 10b5-1 Trading Plan in effect as of the date hereof which
has been provided to the Placement Agent or their legal counsel, provided that any filing required under Section 16 of the Exchange Act
during the Restricted Period shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to a transaction pursuant to a 10b5-1
Trading Plan.
Furthermore,
the undersigned may, without the consent of Placement Agent, sell shares of Common Stock of the Company purchased by the undersigned
in the Offering or on the open market following the Offering if and only if (i) such sales are not required to be reported in any public
report or filing with the SEC, or otherwise, during the Restricted Period and (ii) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect
any public filing or report regarding such sales during the Restricted Period.
provided
that
(A) in
the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v)
and (vi), such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value,
(B) in
the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v),
(vi) and (vii), each donee, devisee, transferee or distributee shall execute and deliver
to the Placement Agent a lock-up letter in the form of this Letter Agreement,
(C) in
the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (a)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and
(vi), no filing by any party (donor, donee, devisee, transferor, transferee, distributer
or distributee) under the Exchange Act, or other public announcement reporting a reduction
in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock shall be required or shall be made voluntarily
in connection with such transfer or distribution (other than a filing on a Form 5 made after
the expiration of the Restricted Period referred to above), and
(D) in
the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (a)(i), (vii), (viii) and (x)
it shall be a condition to such transfer that no public filing, report or announcement shall
be voluntarily made and if any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, or other public
filing, report or announcement reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of
Common Stock in connection with such transfer or distribution shall be legally required during
the Restricted Period, such filing, report or announcement shall clearly indicate in the
footnotes thereto the nature and conditions of such transfer;
5
(b) exercise
outstanding options, settle restricted stock units or other equity awards or exercise outstanding
warrants pursuant to plans described in the Registration Statement, the Incorporated Documents,
the Base Prospectus and the Final Prospectus; provided that any Lock-up Securities received
upon such exercise, vesting or settlement shall be subject to the terms of this Letter Agreement;
provided that if the undersigned is required to make any filing under Section 16(a)
of the Exchange Act, or other public filing, report or announcement during the Restricted
Period, the undersigned shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates
to the circumstances described in this clause and that the shares of Common Stock received
upon the exercise or settlement, as applicable, of the stock option, warrant or restricted
stock unit or other right or vesting event are subject to this Letter Agreement, and no public
filing, report or announcement shall be voluntarily made; and

trading plans pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of
Lock-Up Securities (each such plan, a “Trading Plan”); provided that such
Trading Plans do not provide for the transfer of Lock-Up Securities during the Restricted
Period.
Beneficial
Ownership
If
the undersigned is not a natural person, the undersigned represents and warrants that no single natural person, entity or “group”
(within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than a natural person, entity or “group” (as described
above) that has executed a Letter Agreement in substantially the same form as this Letter Agreement, beneficially owns, directly or indirectly,
50% or more of the common equity interests, or 50% or more of the voting power, in the undersigned.
Transfer
Agent
In
furtherance of the foregoing, the Company, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described
herein, are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of
this Letter Agreement.
Power
and Authority
The
undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Letter Agreement. All
authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns,
heirs or personal representatives of the undersigned.
No
Placement Agent Recommendation
The
undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent has not provided any recommendation or investment advice nor has the Placement
Agent solicited any action from the undersigned with respect to the Offering of the Securities and the undersigned has consulted its
own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent deemed appropriate. The undersigned further acknowledges
