On April 27, 2026, Velo3D,
Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald
& Co., as underwriter (the “Underwriter”), relating to the offer and sale in a firm commitment underwritten
registered direct offering (the “Offering”) of 3,571,428 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s
common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. The Shares will be sold at a public offering price per share of $14.00. The
gross proceeds from the Offering are expected to be approximately $50 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and
commissions and other offering expenses. The Offering is expected to close on or about April 28, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of
customary closing conditions.
The
Shares in the Offering are being offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form

and declared effective on April 8, 2026 (the “Registration Statement”), the base prospectus contained in the Registration
Statement, as supplemented by a final prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) filed with the SEC on April
27, 2026 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The Underwriting Agreement
contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, and customary conditions to closing, obligations of the
parties and termination provisions. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be required to make because of such liabilities. In
addition, the Company, the Company’s directors and executive officers, and certain stockholders also agreed not to sell or transfer
any common stock without first obtaining the written consent of the Underwriter, subject to certain exceptions as described in the Prospectus
Supplement, for 60 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter will
receive underwriting discounts and commissions of 6.0% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of the Shares in the Offering.
A

of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

Cantor
Fitzgerald & Co.
110 East 59th Street, 6th Floor

Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Velo3D,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to sell to the several Underwriters named in Schedule
I hereto (the “Underwriters”) an aggregate of 3,571,428 shares (the “Securities”)
of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), to be issued and sold by
the Company pursuant to this Underwriting Agreement by and among the Company and the Underwriters (this “Agreement”).
The Company hereby confirms its agreement with respect to the sale of the Securities to the several Underwriters, for whom the Representative
is acting as representative. Where there is a single Underwriter party hereto, references in this Agreement to the “Underwriters”
shall be read to refer to such sole Underwriter.
1. Registration
Statement and Prospectus. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
a registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-294876), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “Rules and Regulations”),
and such amendments to such registration statement as may have been required to the date of this Agreement.
Such
registration statement was declared effective by the Commission on April 8, 2026. Each part of such registration statement, including
the amendments, exhibits and any schedules thereto, the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under
the Securities Act and the documents and information otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by Rule 430B under the
Securities Act (the “Rule 430B Information”) or otherwise pursuant to the Rules and Regulations, as of the
time the Registration Statement became effective, is herein collectively called the “Registration Statement.”
Any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale
of the Securities is called the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement,” and from and after the date and time
of filing of any such Rule 462(b) Registration Statement the term “Registration Statement” shall include the
Rule 462(b) Registration Statement.
The
prospectus in the form in which it has most recently been filed with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Agreement is herein
called the “Base Prospectus.” Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare
and file with the Commission a prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus relating to the Securities and the offering thereof in accordance
with the provisions of Rule 430B and Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations. Such supplemental form of prospectus (including the Base
Prospectus as so supplemented), in the form provided to the Representative to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) is
herein called the “Prospectus.” Any reference herein to the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed
to include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act as of the date of
the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus, as applicable.
For
purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus,
the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant
to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System or any successor system thereto (“EDGAR”).
All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “described,” “contained,”
“included” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus (or other references
of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated
by reference in or otherwise deemed by the Rules and Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, the Base
Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration
Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to include the subsequent filing of any document under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and which is deemed to be incorporated therein by reference
therein or otherwise deemed by the Rules and Regulations to be a part thereof.
2. Representations
and Warranties of the Company.
(a) Representations
and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the several Underwriters as follows:
(i) Registration
Statement and Prospectuses. No order preventing or suspending the use of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any supplement
to either) has been issued by the Commission and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or is pending or, to the knowledge
of the Company, threatened by the Commission. As of the time each part of the Registration Statement (or any post-effective amendment
thereto) became or becomes effective (including each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B or
otherwise under the Securities Act), such part conformed or will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities
Act and the Rules and Regulations. Upon the filing or first use within the meaning of the Rules and Regulations, the Base Prospectus
and the Prospectus (or any supplement to either) conformed or will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities
Act and the Rules and Regulations. The Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective under the
Securities Act within three years of the date hereof. The Company has complied to the Commission’s satisfaction with all requests
of the Commission for additional or supplemental information. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
any post-effective amendment or any part thereof is in effect and no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted or are pending

of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under

4
(viii) Financial
Information. The consolidated financial statements of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement,
the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, together with the related notes
and schedules, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and the Subsidiaries (as
defined below) as of the dates indicated and the consolidated results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity
of the Company for the periods specified and have been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act and Exchange
Act and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)
applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be specified therein or in the notes thereto); the other financial
data with respect to the Company and the Subsidiaries contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time
of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, are accurately and fairly presented and
prepared on a basis consistent with the financial statements and books and records of the Company; there are no financial statements
(historical or pro forma) that are required to be included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale
Disclosure Package or the Prospectus that are not included or incorporated by reference as required; the Company and the Subsidiaries
do not have any material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent (including any off-balance sheet obligations), not described
in the Registration Statement (excluding the exhibits thereto), the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, other than liabilities
incurred in the ordinary course of business; and all disclosures contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement,
the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, regarding non-GAAP financial measures
comply with Regulation G of the Exchange Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, to the extent applicable. The interactive
data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale
Disclosure Package and the Prospectus fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and has been prepared in accordance
with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto.
(ix) Conformity
with EDGAR Filing. The Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with the sale of the Securities pursuant
to this Agreement will be identical to the versions of the Prospectus created to be transmitted to the Commission for filing via EDGAR,
except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
(x) Organization.
The Company and each of its Subsidiaries duly organized, validly existing as a corporation and in good standing under the laws of their
respective jurisdictions of organization. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are duly licensed or qualified as a foreign corporation
for transaction of business and in good standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which their respective ownership or lease
of property or the conduct of their respective businesses requires such license or qualification, and have all corporate power and authority
necessary to own or hold their respective properties and to conduct their respective businesses as described in the Registration Statement,
the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing or have such
power or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, (i) have a material adverse effect or (ii) reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on or affecting the assets, business, operations, earnings, properties, condition (financial or otherwise),
prospects, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or prevent or materially
interfere with consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (a “Material Adverse Effect”).
5
(xi) Subsidiaries.
Each subsidiary of the Company (each a “Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Subsidiaries”)
that is a significant subsidiary, as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act (each a “Significant Subsidiary”
and collectively, the “Significant Subsidiaries”), has been duly incorporated or organized and is validly existing
as a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, as the case may be, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction
of its incorporation or organization, has requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business
as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, as the case may be, to transact business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business,
except where the failure to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of, or other ownership interests in, each Subsidiary has been duly authorized and validly issued, is fully paid and non-assessable
and, except for directors’ qualifying shares, is owned by the Company, directly or through subsidiaries, free and clear of any
security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, claim or equity. None of the outstanding capital stock or equity interest in
any Subsidiary was issued in violation of preemptive or similar rights of any security holder of such Subsidiary. No Subsidiary is currently
prohibited, directly or indirectly, from paying any dividends to the Company, from making any other distribution on such Subsidiary’s
capital stock, from repaying to the Company any loans or advances to such Subsidiary from the Company or from transferring any of such
Subsidiary’s property or assets to the Company or any other Subsidiary of the Company. The constitutive or organizational documents
of each of the Subsidiaries comply in all material respects with the requirements of applicable laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation
or organization and are in full force and effect.
(xii) No
Violation or Default. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) is in violation of its certificate of incorporation
or by-laws (or similar organizational documents), (ii) is in default, and no event has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or
both, would constitute such a default, in the due performance or observance of any term, covenant, condition or other obligation contained
in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, or (iii) is in violation of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court
or Governmental Authority (as defined below) has failed to obtain any license, permit, certificate, franchise or other governmental authorization
or permit necessary to the ownership of its property or to the conduct of its business, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii),
to the extent any such violation or default would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. To the Company’s knowledge, no other party under any material contract or other agreement to which it or any of
its Subsidiaries is a party is in default in any respect thereunder where such default would have a Material Adverse Effect. “Governmental
Authority” means (i) any federal, state, local, municipal, national or international government or governmental authority,
regulatory or administrative agency, governmental commission, department, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, court, tribunal,
arbitrator or arbitral body (public or private); (ii) any self-regulatory organization; or (iii) any political subdivision of any of
the foregoing.
(xiii) No
Material Adverse Change. Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the
Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and the Free Writing Prospectuses, if any (including any document deemed incorporated
by reference therein), there has not been (i) any Material Adverse Effect or the occurrence of any development that the Company reasonably
expects will result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) any transaction which is material to the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as
a whole, (iii) any obligation or liability, direct or contingent (including any off-balance sheet obligations), incurred by the Company
or any Subsidiary, which is material to the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (iv) any material change in the capital stock
or outstanding long-term indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (v) any dividend or distribution of any kind declared,
paid or made on the capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, other than in each case above in the ordinary course of business
or as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement or Prospectus (including any document deemed incorporated by reference therein).
6
(xiv) Capitalization.
The issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and, other
than as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, are not subject to any preemptive
rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights. The Company has an authorized, issued and outstanding capitalization as set forth
in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Prospectus as of the dates referred to therein (other than
the grant of additional options, shares of restricted stock, or other stock-based awards under the Company’s existing stock option
plans, or changes in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock due to the issuance of shares upon the exercise or conversion of
securities exercisable for, or convertible into, shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date hereof) and such authorized capital stock
conforms to the description thereof set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
The description of the securities of the Company in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Prospectus

are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability;
(iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded
accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to
any differences. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective and the Company is not aware of any material
weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting (in each case, other than as set forth in the Registration Statement, the
Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Prospectus). Since the date of the latest audited financial statements of the Company included

or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (other than as set forth
in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Prospectus). The Company has established disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures
to ensure that material information relating to the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is made known to the certifying officers by
others within those entities. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter (such date, the “Evaluation
Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the
certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation
Date and the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant

or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls.

in all material respects with any applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Each of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of the Company (or each former principal executive officer
of the Company and each former principal financial officer of the Company as applicable) has made all certifications required by Sections
302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with respect to all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed

of its Subsidiaries with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened.
(xli) Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements. There are no transactions, arrangements and other relationships between and/or among the Company, and/or
any of its affiliates and any unconsolidated entity, including, but not limited to, any structured finance, special purpose or limited
purpose entity (each, an “Off-Balance Sheet Transaction”) that could reasonably be expected to affect materially
the Company’s liquidity or the availability of or requirements for its capital resources, including those Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
described in the Commission’s Statement about Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of

compliance with its terms and the requirements of any applicable statutes, orders, rules and regulations, including but not limited to
ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); no prohibited transaction, within the
meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, has occurred which would result in a material liability to the Company with
respect to any such plan excluding transactions effected pursuant to a statutory or administrative exemption; and for each such plan
that is subject to the funding rules of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, no “accumulated funding deficiency”
as defined in Section 412 of the Code has been incurred, whether or not waived, and the fair market value of the assets of each such
plan (excluding for these purposes accrued but unpaid contributions) exceeds the present value of all benefits accrued under such plan
determined using reasonable actuarial assumptions.

3. Purchase,
Sale and Delivery of Securities.
(a) Securities.
On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth,
the Company agrees to issue and sell the Securities to the several Underwriters, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly,
to purchase from the Company the number of Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto. The
purchase price for each Security shall be as set forth on Schedule III hereto. The obligation of each Underwriter to the Company
shall be to purchase from the Company that number of Securities (to be adjusted by the Representative to avoid fractional shares) which
represents the same proportion of the number of Securities to be sold by the Company pursuant to this Agreement as the number of Securities
set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto represents to the total number of Securities to be purchased
by all Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement. In making this Agreement, each Underwriter is contracting severally and not jointly;
except as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 3 and in Section 9 hereof, the agreement of each Underwriter is to purchase only
the respective number of Securities specified in Schedule I.
The
Securities will be delivered by the Company to the Representative for the accounts of the several Underwriters against payment of the
purchase price therefor by wire transfer of same day funds payable to the order of the Company, as appropriate, at the offices of Covington
& Burling LLP, 30 Hudson Yards, New York, New York 10001, or such other location as may be mutually acceptable, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern
time on the first (or if the Time of Sale occurs after 4:30 p.m. Eastern time, the second) full business day following the date hereof,
or at such other time and date as the Representative and the Company determine pursuant to Rule 15c6-1(a) under the Exchange Act, such
time and date of delivery being herein referred to as the “Closing Date.”
18
(b) [Reserved].
(c) Delivery.
Delivery of the Securities will be made by credit through full fast transfer to the accounts at the Depository Trust Company designated
by the Representative. In the event that the Securities are not delivered to the Representative by 2:30 p.m., New York City time, on
the Closing Date, the Company will return payment of the full purchase price to the Representative via same day funds by 4:30 p.m., New
York City time. The Company shall remain liable to the Representative for the full amount of the purchase price and any costs associated
with recovering the purchase price until the full amount has been received by the Representative.
(d) Purchase
by Representative on Behalf of Underwriters. It is understood that the Representative, individually and not as representative
of the several Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment to the Company, on behalf of any Underwriter for the Securities
to be purchased by such Underwriter. Any such payment by the Representative shall not relieve any such Underwriter of any of its obligations
hereunder. Nothing herein contained shall constitute any of the Underwriters an unincorporated association or partner with the Company.
4. Covenants.
(a) Covenants
of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with the several Underwriters as follows:
(i) Required
Filings. During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the later of the Closing Date or such date, as in the opinion
of counsel for the Underwriters, the Prospectus is no longer required by law to be delivered (assuming the absence of Rule 172 under
the Securities Act), in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”),
prior to amending or supplementing the Registration Statement (including any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement), the Time of Sale Disclosure
Package or the Prospectus, the Company shall furnish to the Representative for review a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement,
and the Company shall not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Representative or counsel to the Underwriters reasonably
object. Subject to this Section 4(a)(i), immediately following execution of this Agreement, the Company will prepare the Prospectus containing
the Rule 430B Information and other selling terms of the Securities, the plan of distribution thereof and such other information as may
be required by the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations or as the Representative and the Company may deem appropriate, and if
requested by the Representative, an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus containing the selling terms of the Securities and such other information
as the Company and the Representative may deem appropriate, and will file or transmit for filing with the Commission, in accordance with
Rule 424(b) or Rule 433, as the case may be, copies of the Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.
(ii) Free
Writing Prospectuses. The Company shall furnish to the Representative for review, a reasonable amount of time prior to the proposed
time of filing or use thereof, a copy of each proposed free writing prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto prepared by or
on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities, and the Company shall not
file, use or refer to any proposed such free writing prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto without the Representative’s
prior written consent.
19
(iii) Notification
of Certain Commission Actions. During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company shall promptly advise the Representative in
writing (A) of the receipt of any comments of, or requests for additional or supplemental information from, the Commission, (B) of the
time and date of any filing of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Time
of Sale Disclosure Package, any free writing prospectus or the Prospectus, (C) of the time and date that any post-effective amendment
to the Registration Statement becomes effective, (D) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or of any order preventing or suspending its use or the use of
the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any free writing prospectus, or (E) of any proceedings to remove, suspend or terminate
from listing or quotation the Common Stock from any securities exchange upon which it is listed for trading or included or designated
for quotation, or of the threatening or initiation of any proceedings for any of such purposes. If the Commission shall enter any such
stop order at any time, the Company will use its best efforts to obtain the lifting of such order at the earliest possible moment. Additionally,
the Company agrees that it shall comply with the provisions of Rules 424(b), 433 and 430B, as applicable, under the Securities Act and
will use its reasonable efforts to confirm that any filings made by the Company under Rule 424(b), Rule 433 or Rule 462 were received
in a timely manner by the Commission (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8) or Rule 164(b)).
(iv) Continued
Compliance with Securities Laws.
(A) During
the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will comply as far as it is able with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities
Act, as now and hereafter amended, and by the Rules and Regulations, as from time to time in force, and by the Exchange Act so far as
necessary to permit the continuance of sales of or dealings in the Securities as contemplated by the provisions hereof, the Time of Sale
Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. If during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus (or, if the Prospectus
is not yet available to prospective purchasers, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package) would include an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not
misleading, or if during such period it is necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Company or its counsel or the Representative
or counsel to the Underwriters to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus (or, if the Prospectus is not yet available
to prospective purchasers, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package) to comply with the Securities Act or to file under the Exchange Act any
document which would be deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus in order to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act, the Company promptly will (x) notify the Representative of such untrue statement or omission, (y) amend the Registration Statement
or supplement the Prospectus (or, if the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package)

notify the Representative when any amendment to the Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective or when any supplement to the
Prospectus (or, if the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package) is filed.
(B) If
at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which
such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company
(x) has promptly notified or promptly will notify the Representative of such conflict, untrue statement or omission, (y) has promptly
amended or will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict,
untrue statement or omission, and (z) has notified or promptly will notify the Representative when such amendment or supplement was or
is filed with the Commission where so required to be filed.

of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification, registration or exemption, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain
the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment

of Documents. The Company will furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters copies of the
Registration Statement, and to the Underwriters and any dealer the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing

may from time to time reasonably request.
(vii) Rule
158. The Company will make generally available to its security holders and to the Representative as soon as practicable, but
in no event later than 15 months after the end of the Company’s current fiscal quarter, an earnings statement (which need not be

and Regulations.

thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contains an untrue statement of fact which, in the Representative’s opinion, is
material, or omits to state a fact which, in the Representative’s opinion, is material and is required to be stated therein, or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.
24
(c) Absence
of Certain Events. Except as contemplated in the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and in the Prospectus, subsequent to the respective
dates as of which information is given in the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall have incurred any material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, or entered into any material transactions,
or declared or paid any dividends or made any distribution of any kind with respect to its capital stock; and there shall not have been
any change in the capital stock (other than a change in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock due to the issuance of shares
upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants or conversion of convertible securities), or any material change in the short-term
or long-term debt of the Company (other than as a result of the conversion of convertible securities), or any issuance of options, warrants,
convertible securities or other rights to purchase shares of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Material Adverse Effect or
any development involving a prospective Material Adverse Effect (whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business), or any loss
by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, incurred by the Company or any Subsidiary,
the effect of which, in any such case described above, in the Representative’s judgment, makes it impractical or inadvisable to
offer or deliver the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and in the Prospectus.
(d) No
Downgrade. On or after the Time of Sale (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded any of the Company’s
securities by any “nationally recognized statistical organization,” as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange
Act, and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications,

such Closing Date;
25
(ii) No
stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any part thereof or any amendment thereof or
the qualification of the Securities for offering or sale nor suspending or preventing the use of the Time of Sale Disclosure Package,
the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, has been issued, and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or, to

(l) Rule
462(b) Registration Statement. In the event that a Rule 462(b) Registration Statement is filed in connection with the offering
contemplated by this Agreement, such Rule 462(b) Registration Statement shall have been filed with the Commission on the date of this
Agreement and shall have become effective automatically upon such filing.
(m) Other
Documents. The Company shall have furnished to the Representative and counsel for the Underwriters such additional documents,
certificates and evidence as the Representative or they may have reasonably requested.
(n) Exchange

such Closing Date to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

the Representative and the other Underwriters (or such Underwriters as have terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves), severally,
upon demand for all out-of-pocket expenses that shall have been reasonably incurred by the Representative and the Underwriters in connection
with the proposed purchase and the offering and sale of the Securities, including fees and disbursements of counsel, printing expenses,
travel expenses, postage, facsimile and telephone charges.
26
7. Indemnification
and Contribution.
(a) Indemnification
by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates and their respective partners,
members, directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter or any affiliate within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, (i) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise (including any reasonable investigation,
legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of any action, suit or proceeding or any claim
asserted), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (A)
an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the Rule 430B Information
and any other information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness and at any subsequent time pursuant
to the Rules and Regulations, if applicable, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any issuer information that the Company has filed or is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d)
of the Rules and Regulations, any roadshow materials, or any Testing-the-Waters Communication or (B) the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case
of the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made), and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with
investigating or defending against such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; (ii) against any and
all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, joint or several, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid
in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, commenced or threatened, or of any
claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject
to subsection (c) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably
be delayed, conditioned or withheld; and (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements
of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding
by any Governmental Authority, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or
any such alleged untrue statement or omission (whether or not a party), to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or
(ii) above; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made solely in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Representative, or by any Underwriter
through the Representative, specifically for use in the preparation thereof; it being understood and agreed that the only information
furnished by an Underwriter consists of the information described as such in subsection (e) below.
(b) Indemnification
by the Underwriters. Each Underwriter will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates,
directors, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) above to which the Company may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise
(including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Underwriter), insofar as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus,
or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any issuer information that the Company has filed or is required
to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Rules and Regulations, or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, or any road show, or (ii)
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), in each case to the extent, but only to the extent,
that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made solely in reliance on or in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by the Representative, or by such Underwriter through the Representative, specifically
for use in the preparation thereof (it being understood and agreed that the only information furnished by an Underwriter consists of
the information described as such in subsection (e) below), and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such
expenses are incurred.
27
(c) Notice
and Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement
of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection,
notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not
relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party except to the extent such indemnifying party
has been materially prejudiced by such failure (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses). In case any such action shall
be brought against any indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified,
to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of the indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable
to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that if, in the sole judgment
of the Representative, it is advisable for the Underwriters to be represented as a group by separate counsel, the Representative shall
have the right to employ a single counsel (in addition to local counsel) to represent the Representative and all Underwriters who may
be subject to liability arising from any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Underwriters under subsection (a) above,
in which event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party or parties and reimbursed
to the Underwriters as incurred. An indemnifying party shall not be obligated under any settlement agreement relating to any action under
this Section 7 to which it has not agreed in writing. In addition, no indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party for all liability on claims that are the
subject matter of such proceeding and does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act
by or on behalf of an indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying
party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel pursuant to this Section 7(c), such indemnifying party agrees
that it shall be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days
after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified
party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
(d) Contribution;
Limitations on Liability; Non-Exclusive Remedy. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient
to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or
(b) above, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted
by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but
also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net
proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions
received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters and the parties’ relevant
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the
Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (d) were to be determined by
pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which
does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d). The amount paid by an
indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d)
shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending against any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection
(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and
commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the Securities purchased by it hereunder exceeds the amount of any damages that
such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (d) to
contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The remedies provided for in this Section
7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that might otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in
equity.
(e) Information
Provided by the Underwriters. The Underwriters severally confirm and the Company acknowledges that the statements with respect
to the public offering of the Securities by the Underwriters set forth in the first sentence of the first paragraph under the caption
“Underwriting — Commissions and Expenses” and in the first and second sentences of the second paragraph under the caption
“Underwriting — Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions” in the Prospectus is correct and constitute the
only information concerning such Underwriters furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for
inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.
8. Representations
and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties, and agreements of the Company herein or in certificates
delivered pursuant hereto, including but not limited to the agreements of the several Underwriters and the Company contained in Section
5 hereof, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter
or any controlling person thereof, or the Company or any of its officers, directors, or controlling persons, and shall survive delivery

agreed by such Underwriter or Underwriters to be purchased hereunder, upon tender of such Securities in accordance with the terms hereof,
and the amount of Securities not purchased does not aggregate to more than 10% of the total amount of Securities set forth in Schedule
I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated to take up and pay for (in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations
hereunder as set forth in Schedule I hereto except as may otherwise be determined by the Representative) the Securities that the
withdrawing or defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase.
(b) Termination
Under Certain Circumstances. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail to take up and pay for the amount of Securities agreed
by such Underwriter or Underwriters to be purchased hereunder, upon tender of such Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and
the amount of Securities not purchased aggregates more than 10% of the total amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto,
and arrangements satisfactory to the Representative for the purchase of such Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours
thereafter, this Agreement shall terminate. In the event of any such termination the Company shall not be under any liability to any
Underwriter (except to the extent provided in Section 4(a)(viii) and Section 7 hereof) nor shall any Underwriter (other than an Underwriter
who shall have failed, otherwise than for some reason permitted under this Agreement, to purchase the amount of Securities agreed by
such Underwriter to be purchased hereunder) be under any liability to the Company (except to the extent provided in Section 5 hereof).
(c) Postponement
of Closing. If Securities to which a default relates are to be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters or by any other party
or parties, the Representative or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for not more than seven business days
in order that the necessary changes in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, in the Prospectus or in any
other documents, as well as any other arrangements, may be effected. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any
person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 9.

for prices for securities shall have been required, on the Nasdaq Capital Market or the NYSE, by such exchange or by order of the Commission
or any other Governmental Authority, (v) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by federal or state authorities, (vi) there shall
have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the Representative’s
judgment, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the sale of and payment for
the Securities, (v) in the reasonable judgment of the Representative there shall have occurred any material change, or any material development
or event involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the business, properties, earnings, results
of operations or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course
of business, or (vi) the Company shall have sustained a loss by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other calamity of such character
as in the judgment of the Representative may interfere materially with the conduct of the business and operations of the Company regardless
of whether or not such loss shall have been insured. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party
except that the provisions of Section 4(a)(viii) and Section 6 hereof shall at all times be effective.

by the Company.

to sell hereunder, then this Agreement shall terminate without any liability on the part of any Underwriter or, except as provided in
Section 4(a)(viii) and Section 6 hereof, any non-defaulting party.
(b) No
Relief from Liability. No action taken pursuant to this Section 11 shall relieve the Company from liability, if any, in respect
of such default.

and agrees that any such Underwriter shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary
duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company.
15. Governing

Re:
Proposed Registered Follow-On Offering by Velo3D, Inc.
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
The
undersigned, a securityholder and/or an officer and/or a director of Velo3D, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
understands that Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“CF&Co.”) proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the
“Underwriting Agreement”) with the Company providing for a registered follow-on offering (the “Offering”)
of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”). In recognition of
the benefit that the Offering will confer upon the undersigned as a securityholder and/or an officer and/or a director of the Company,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that,
during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date that is sixty (60) days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement
(the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not (and will cause any immediate family member (for purposes of this
agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin)
not to), without the prior written consent of CF&Co., which may withhold its consent in its sole discretion, directly or indirectly,
(i) sell, offer to sell, contract to sell or lend, effect any short sale or establish or increase a Put Equivalent Position (as defined
in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) or liquidate or decrease
any Call Equivalent Position (as defined in Rule 16a-1(b) under the Exchange Act), pledge, hypothecate or grant any security interest
in, or in any other way transfer or dispose of, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable
for shares of Common Stock, in each case whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned
has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), or make a demand for
or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any of the Lock-Up Securities, or the filing of any registration statement,
prospectus or prospectus supplement (or amendment or supplement thereto) in connection therewith, under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, (ii) enter into any swap, hedge or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly,
the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of
Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer Lock-Up Securities pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv)
below without the prior written consent of CF&Co., provided, in each case, that (1) prior to any such transfer, CF&Co. receives
a signed lock-up agreement, substantially in the form of this lock-up agreement, for the balance of the Lock-Up Period from each donee,
trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be, (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (3) in the
case of clause (i), if any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of
Common Stock in connection with such transfer or distribution shall be legally required during the Lock-Up Period, such filing shall
clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto the nature and conditions of such transfer, and the undersigned shall not otherwise voluntarily
effect any public filing or report regarding such transfer, and (4): in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, such transfers are
not required to be reported with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the undersigned shall not otherwise voluntarily effect any
public filing or report regarding such transfer:
(i)
as a bona fide gift or gifts;
(ii)
to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned;
(iii)
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or in connection with a divorce settlement; or
(iv)
by will or intestate succession to the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or immediate family of the undersigned upon the death
of the undersigned.
The
undersigned further agrees that the foregoing provisions shall be equally applicable to any Common Stock the undersigned may purchase
or otherwise receive in the Offering.
The
undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar
against the transfer of the Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions. This agreement shall automatically
terminate, and the undersigned shall be released from the undersigned’s obligations hereunder, upon the earliest to occur, if any,
of (i) prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company advises CF&Co. in writing that it has determined not to
proceed with the Offering; (ii) the Underwriting Agreement is executed but is terminated prior to the closing of the Offering (other
than the provisions thereof which survive termination), or (iii) April 30, 2026, in the event that the Underwriting Agreement has not
been executed by such date.
With
respect to the Offering only, the undersigned waives any registration rights relating to registration under the Securities Act of the
offer and sale of any shares of Common Stock and/or any options or warrants or other rights to acquire Common Stock or any securities
exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock, or to acquire other securities or rights ultimately exchangeable or
exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock, owned either of record or beneficially by the undersigned, including any rights to
receive notice of the Offering.
The
undersigned confirms that the undersigned has not, and has no knowledge that any immediate family member has, directly or indirectly,
taken any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price
of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale of the Common Stock. The undersigned will not, and will cause any immediate family
member not to take, directly or indirectly, any such action.
The
undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power, capacity and authority to enter into this letter agreement.
This letter agreement is irrevocable and will be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns
of the undersigned.
This
agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of
laws principles thereof that would result in the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.
The
undersigned understands that the Company and CF&Co. are relying on this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Offering
contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement. This agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned and the heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned. Whether or not the Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors,
including market conditions. Any Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to
negotiation between the Company and CF&CO.

and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., acting as representative of the several underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriting
Agreement”).
The
Shares are being offered and sold by the Company pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File
No. 333-294876) (as amended from time to time, the “Registration Statement”) filed with Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
the base prospectus included in the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”) and the prospectus supplement related

Supplement”). This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under

of Directors of the Company related to the Offering, the authorization and issuance of the Shares and related matters, (iii) the Registration

we have relied, to the extent we have deemed reasonably appropriate, upon representations or certificates of officers of the Company
or governmental officials.
