Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Public Offering
On May 26, 2026, Editas
Medicine, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”)
with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as representatives of the underwriters named therein (the
“Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten public offering of 55,555,556 shares (the “Underwritten
Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and accompanying
common stock warrants (the “Common Stock Warrants”) to purchase up to 55,555,556 shares of Common Stock (or pre-funded
warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock in lieu thereof (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”)). All of the Underwritten Shares
and the Common Stock Warrants are being sold by the Company. Each Underwritten Share is being offered and sold together with an
accompanying Common Stock Warrant at a combined public offering price of $2.25. The Underwriters have agreed to purchase each
Underwritten Share and accompanying Common Stock Warrant from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a combined price
of $2.1150.
The Company estimates that the net proceeds from
the offering will be approximately $117.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses,
and excluding any proceeds that may be received from the exercise of the Common Stock Warrants. If all of the Common Stock Warrants sold in the offering were to be exercised in cash for shares of Common Stock, the Company would receive
additional proceeds of approximately $192.5 million.
The Underwritten Shares and the Common Stock
Warrants will be issued pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that the Company filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 28, 2024 (File No. 333-277471), as amended by Post-Effective
Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3 Registration Statement and Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Form S-3 Registration
Statement, both filed with the SEC on March 5, 2025 and declared effective on March 21, 2025. A prospectus supplement relating to the offering has been filed with the
SEC. The closing of the offering is expected to take place on or about May 27, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary
closing conditions.
Each Common Stock Warrant will have an exercise
price of $3.50 per share (or $3.4999 if the Common Stock Warrant is being exercised for Pre-Funded Warrants). The exercise price of the Common Stock Warrants may only be paid in cash, subject to a limited exception
as set forth in the Common Stock Warrant. The Common Stock Warrants will be immediately exercisable and will be exercisable from the date
of issuance and will expire on the earlier of (i) the date that is 30 days following the first public announcement by the Company
of Phase 1 clinical data for the Company’s product candidate, EDIT-401, that discloses at least three patients in the trial that
each demonstrated greater than 80% reduction in LDL-cholesterol as compared to baseline with at least one (1) month of follow-up
and (ii) the date that is three years after the date of issuance. Under the terms of the Common Stock Warrants, the Company may not
effect the exercise of any Common Stock Warrant, and a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any Common Stock Warrant,
that, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such
holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as elected by the holder, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to the exercise; or (2) the combined voting power of the Company’s securities beneficially
owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as elected by the holder, of the combined voting power of
all of the Company’s securities outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined
in accordance with the terms of the Common Stock Warrant. However, any holder of a Common Stock Warrant may increase or decrease such
percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% provided that any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after
notice from the holder is delivered to the Company. To the extent that specified limitations described herein restrict the exercise of the Common Stock Warrants, a holder may choose, in
lieu of receiving Common Stock upon exercise of such warrants, to receive a Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase an identical number of shares
of Common Stock it would have received upon the exercise of its Common Stock Warrants; except that the applicable exercise price shall
instead be the exercise price less $0.0001 per share, and the resulting issued Pre-Funded Warrant shall have an exercise price of $0.0001
per share.
Any Pre-Funded Warrant issued upon the
exercise of Common Stock Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, and will be immediately exercisable for one
share of common stock. Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable at any time after their original issuance and will expire on the
date the warrant is exercised in full. Under the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Company may not effect the exercise of any
portion of such Pre-Funded Warrant, and a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any such Pre-Funded Warrant, that,
upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such
holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as elected by the holder, of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise; or (2) the combined voting power of the Company’s securities
beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as elected by the holder, of the combined
voting power of all of the Company’s securities outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such
percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrant. However, any holder of
a Pre-Funded Warrant may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% provided
that such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after notice from the holder is delivered to the Company.
Upon the consummation of a fundamental
transaction (as described in the Common Stock Warrants and any Pre-Funded Warrants, and generally including any merger or
consolidation with or into another person in which the Company is not the surviving entity, the sale of all or substantially all of
the Company’s assets, the acquisition of more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock, or any person or group becoming the
beneficial owner of more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding Common Stock, or any reclassification or compulsory share
exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property), the
holders of the Common Stock Warrants and any Pre-Funded Warrants will have the right to receive, upon exercise of the Common Stock
Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property that such holders would
have been entitled to receive had they exercised such Common Stock Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable immediately prior
to such fundamental transaction, without regard to any limitations on exercise contained in the Common
Stock Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the
Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination
provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such
agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed
upon by the contracting parties.
The foregoing descriptions of the terms of
the Underwriting Agreement, the Common Stock Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants are qualified in their entirety by reference to
the Underwriting Agreement and the Form of Common Stock Warrant (including the form of Pre-Funded Warrant attached as an
exhibit thereto), which are filed hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and Exhibit 4.1, respectively, and incorporated by
reference herein.
A copy of the legal opinion and consent of
Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP relating to the Underwritten Shares, the Common Stock Warrants, the Pre-Funded Warrants
and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Common Stock Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants issuable upon exercise thereof is
attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
The full text of the press release announcing the
pricing of the underwritten public offering on May 26, 2026 is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by
reference.
Cash Runway
Based upon the Company’s current plans and
forecasted expenses, the Company estimates that the net proceeds from the underwritten offering, together with the Company’s cash
and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, will enable the Company to fund its operations into the second half of 2028. The Company has based this
estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and the Company could use its available capital resources sooner than it currently
expects.

hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you are acting as representatives (the “Representatives”),
55,555,556 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”) and accompanying warrants to purchase
up to 55,555,556 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share (or, in lieu of shares of common stock,

Warrants”), at an exercise price of $3.4999 per Pre-Funded Warrant), subject to conditions stated therein (the “Common
Warrants” and, together with the Shares, the “Securities”). The shares of the Company’s common stock
issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants (including any shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of Pre-Funded
Warrants originally issued upon exercise of Common Warrants) are herein referred to as the “Warrant Shares.” The shares
of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company to be outstanding after giving effect to the sales contemplated hereby are
hereinafter referred to as the “Common Stock.” Each Share is being sold together with a Common Warrant to purchase
one share of Common Stock.
The
Company originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a shelf registration statement
as defined in Rule 405 (“Rule 405”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), including a prospectus, on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-277471) relating to securities (the “Shelf
Securities”), including the Securities, to be issued from time to time by the Company, on February 28, 2024, as amended
by Post-Effective Amendment No.1 and Post-Effective Amendment No. 2, each filed by the Company with the Commission on March 5,
2025, which shelf registration statement was declared effective by the Commission on March 21, 2025. The various parts of the registration
statement, including all exhibits thereto, any prospectus supplement relating to the Shelf Securities or the Securities that is filed
with the Commission and the information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant
to Rule 430A or Rule 430B under the Securities Act, each as amended at the time such part of the registration statement became
effective, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Registration Statement.” Any registration statement
filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act is herein called the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement”
and, after such filing, the term “Registration Statement” shall include any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement.
The base prospectus filed as part of such Registration Statement, in the form in which it has most recently been filed with the Commission
on or prior to the date of this underwriting agreement (the “Agreement”), is hereinafter referred to as the “Basic
Prospectus.” Any preliminary prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus supplement) relating to the Securities filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act is hereinafter called a “preliminary prospectus.”
The Basic Prospectus, as amended and supplemented by a prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Securities (if any) in the form
first used to confirm sales of the Securities (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests
of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) is hereinafter referred to as the “Pricing Prospectus.”
The form of the final prospectus relating to the Securities filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities
Act in accordance with Section 5(a) hereof is hereinafter called the “Prospectus.”
For purposes of this Agreement,

Prospectus” means the Pricing Prospectus and the documents and pricing information set forth in Schedule II hereto, and “broadly
available road show” means a “bona fide electronic road show” as defined in Rule 433(h)(5) under the Securities
Act that has been made available without restriction to any person. As used herein, the terms “Registration Statement,” “Basic
Prospectus,” “preliminary prospectus,” “Time of Sale Prospectus” and “Prospectus” shall include
the documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein as of the date hereof. The terms “supplement,” “amendment”

any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall include all documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant
to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are deemed to be incorporated by reference
therein.

Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement has become effective; no
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is in effect, and no proceedings for such purpose are pending before

as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the
Securities Act) eligible to use the Registration Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement and the Company has not received
notice that the Commission objects to the use of the Registration Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement.

of the Commission thereunder. Each free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under

is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer (including in circumstances where such requirement
may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 of the Securities Act) (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), to furnish to
the Representatives a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement and not to file any such proposed amendment or supplement to
which the Representatives reasonably object, and to file with the Commission within the applicable period specified in Rule 424(b) under
the Securities Act any prospectus required to be filed pursuant to such Rule.
(c) To
furnish to the Representatives a copy of each proposed free writing prospectus to be prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred

the Securities Act a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Underwriter that the Underwriter otherwise would not have
been required to file thereunder.
(e) If
the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy the Securities at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to
prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time
of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or if any event shall occur
or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement
then on file, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus
to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and
to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale
Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Time of Sale Prospectus is delivered to
a prospective purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with
the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.
(f) If,
during the Prospectus Delivery Period, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement
the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the
notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in the opinion
of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare,
file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses the Representatives
will furnish to the Company) to which Securities may have been sold by the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other
dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented
will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of
the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with
applicable law.
17

as a result of which such Written Testing-the-Waters Communication 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 existing
at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives and will promptly amend or supplement, at
its own expense, such Written Testing-the-Waters Communication to eliminate or correct such untrue statement or omission.
(l) The
Company also covenants with each Underwriter that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, it will not, during the period
ending 90 days after the date of the Prospectus (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,

19

7. Covenants
of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter severally covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company
being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter
that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.
8. Indemnity
and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate
of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating
any such action or claim) that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that
the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show as defined in
Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “road show”), or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto,
or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter
furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and
agreed that the only such information furnished by the Underwriters through the Representatives consists of the information described
as such in paragraph (b) below.
(b) Each
Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration
Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter, but only with reference to information
relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in
the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, road show or
the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, it being understood and agreed upon that, for all purposes under this Agreement,
the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information furnished on behalf of each Underwriter:
(i) the name and corresponding share amounts set forth in the first paragraph of text under the caption “Underwriting”
in the Prospectus; (ii) the third paragraph of text under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus concerning the
terms of the offering by the Underwriters; and (iii) the thirteenth through sixteenth paragraphs of text under the caption “Underwriting”
in the Prospectus concerning stabilization.
21
(c) In
case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity
may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “indemnified party”)
shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and
the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonably incurred
fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right
to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties
to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation
of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood
that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or
related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonably incurred fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in
addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.
Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a),
and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be
liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by
reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested
an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences
of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent if (i) such settlement is entered into (A) more than 60 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of such request
and (B) more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the proposed terms of such settlement and (ii) such indemnifying
party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying
party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding
in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified
party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject
matter of such proceeding.
22
(d) To
the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified
party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under
such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (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 hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if
the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(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 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the
Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand 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 hand in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be
in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the
Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the
cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price per Unit. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other hand 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 by the
Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement
or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion
to the respective number of Securities they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.
(e) The
Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8
were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method
of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid
or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall
be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8,
no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten
by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public 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 remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit
any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
23
(f) The
indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements
of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination
of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any
affiliate of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance
of and payment for any of the Securities.
9. Termination.
The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by the Representatives to the Company, if after the execution and delivery
of this Agreement and prior to the closing of the sale to the Underwriters of the Securities, (i) trading generally shall have been
suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the Nasdaq Global Select
Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of any
securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption
in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial
banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak
or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the judgment of the Representatives,
is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in
the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the
terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.
10. Effectiveness;
Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
If, on the Closing Date, as
the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase
hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or
refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters
shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I
bears to the aggregate number of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions
as the Representatives may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or
refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase
pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Securities
without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase
Securities and the aggregate number of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number
of Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such
Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting
Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date,
but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of
Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall
not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
24
If this Agreement shall be
terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms
or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under
this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to
themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonably incurred fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably
incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
11. Entire
Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the
extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Securities, represents the entire agreement between the Company
and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct
of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Securities.
(b) The
Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length,
are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those
duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any,
and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted
by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with
the offering of the Securities.
12. Recognition
of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a
proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation
in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution
Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United
States.
(b) In
the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under
a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to
be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement
were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
25

“BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance
with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity”
as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as

Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder

of Common Stock under a trading plan established prior to the date hereof pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, provided

Act and indicating by footnote disclosure or otherwise the nature of the sale or disposition). For purposes of this agreement, “immediate
family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. In addition, the undersigned
agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the Restricted
Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. 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 undersigned’s shares of Common Stock except in
compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

The undersigned understands
that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned
further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives,
successors and assigns.
Whether or not the Public
Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to
an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters.
The undersigned understands that, (i) if the
Representatives, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, informs the other in writing, prior to the execution of the Underwriting
Agreement, that it has determined not to proceed with the Public Offering, (ii) if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions
thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the securities to be sold thereunder,
(iii) if the registration statement related to the Public Offering has been withdrawn prior to the execution of the Underwriting
Agreement or (iv) the Underwriting Agreement is not executed on or before June 30, 2026, the undersigned shall be automatically

combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

2. Issuance
of Securities; Registration of Warrants. The Warrant, as initially issued by the Company, is offered and sold pursuant to the
Registration Statement. As of the Original Issue Date, the Warrant Shares are issuable under the Registration Statement. Accordingly,
the Warrant and, assuming issuance pursuant to the Registration Statement or an exchange meeting the requirements of Section 3(a)(9) of
the Securities Act as in effect on the Original Issue Date, the Warrant Shares are not “restricted securities” under Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act as of the Original Issue Date. The Company shall register ownership of this Warrant, upon records
to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder (which
shall include the initial Holder or, as the case may be, any assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder) 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.
3. Registration
of Transfers. This Warrant and all rights hereunder 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 as Schedule 2 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. Subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws, the Company shall, or will cause
its Transfer Agent to, register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant,
and payment for all applicable transfer taxes (if any). Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock
in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”) evidencing the portion of this Warrant
so transferred shall be issued to the transferee, and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred,
if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance
by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant.
The Company shall, or will cause its Transfer Agent to, prepare, issue and deliver at the Company’s own expense any New Warrant
under this Section 3. Until due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the registered Holder hereof
as the owner and holder for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
4. Exercise
of Warrants.
(a) All
or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by this Warrant at any time and from
time to time on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date.
3
(b) The
Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached as Schedule 1 hereto
(the “Exercise Notice”), completed and duly signed by an authorized officer of the Holder, of the Holder’s election
to exercise this Warrant for, at the Holder’s sole discretion, either (A) Warrant Shares or (B) Pre-Funded Warrants to
purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised in substantially
the same form of Pre-Funded Warrant attached as Schedule 3 hereto (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) with an exercise price
of $0.0001 per share of Common Stock and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant
is being exercised, or, if this Warrant is being exercised for Pre-Funded Warrants, the aggregate Exercise Price, less $0.0001, multiplied
by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised, and the date on which the last of such items is delivered
to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The Holder shall
not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice
shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the
remaining number of Warrant Shares, if any. 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 Exercise Notice within one (1) Trading Day of receipt
of such notice.
(c) The
Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this section, following
the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants
available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
5. Delivery
of Warrant Shares.
(a) If
this Warrant is being exercised for Warrant Shares, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than
the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following the Exercise Date), upon the request of the Holder, cause
the Transfer Agent to credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified by the Holder in the Exercise Notice and to which
the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise (the “Exercise Shares”) to (i) the Holder’s or its designee’s
balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system or (ii) in
book-entry form via a direct registration system (“DRS”) maintained by or on behalf of the Transfer Agent, in each
case, so long as either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or the
resale of such Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Exercise Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale
restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. If (A) and (B) above are not true, the Company
shall cause the Transfer Agent to either (i) record the Exercise Shares in the name of the Holder or its designee on the certificates
reflecting the Exercise Shares with an appropriate legend regarding restriction on transferability, which shall be issued and dispatched
by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, and on the Company’s share register or (ii) issue
such Exercise Shares in the name of the Holder or its designee in restricted book-entry form in the Company’s share register. If
this Warrant is being exercised for Pre-Funded Warrants, the Company shall issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address specified
in the Exercise Notice, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Warrant Shares with
respect to which this Warrant is being exercised. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded
Warrants, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants as of the Exercise Date, irrespective
of the date such Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants are credited to the Holder’s DTC account, the date of the book entry positions
or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Exercise Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants, as the case may be.
4
(b) In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if this Warrant is being exercised for Warrant Shares and if the Company fails to
deliver, or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver, to the Holder or its designee Exercise Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a) within
the Standard Settlement Period following the Exercise Date (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided
by the Holder to the Company) and the Holder or the Holder’s broker on its behalf purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
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”) but did not receive within the Standard Settlement Period, then the Company shall,
within two (2) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s sole discretion, promptly honor its obligation
to deliver to the Holder or its designee the Exercise Shares pursuant to Section 5(a) and pay cash to the Holder in an
amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares
of Common Stock so purchased in the Buy-In, less the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock purchased in the Buy-In,
times (B) the Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
promptly after the occurrence of a Buy-In, indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In together with applicable
confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company.
(c) To
the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 5(b), the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares
or Pre-Funded Warrants, as the case may be, in accordance with and subject to the terms hereof (including the limitations set forth in
Section 10 below) are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same,
any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the
same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person
of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any
other circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant
Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants. Subject to Section 5(b), nothing herein shall limit the 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 Exercise Shares; provided, however, that the Holder shall not be
entitled to both (i) require the Company to reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded
Warrants for which such exercise was not timely honored and (ii) receive the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been
issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 5(a).
5
6. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Exercise Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer
tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense (excluding any applicable stamp duties) in respect of the issuance of such
shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay
any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants or the
Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability
that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement
of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange
and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt
of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction (in such case) and, in each case, a customary and
reasonable contractual indemnity, if requested by the Company. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant,
then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue
the New Warrant.
8. Reservation
of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will, at all times while this Warrant is outstanding, reserve and keep available
out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue
Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are initially issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the
Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares
so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof,
be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable. The Company will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary
to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or
of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company further
covenants that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Holder, take any actions to increase the par value of the Common
Stock at any time while this Warrant is outstanding.
9. Certain
Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Number of Warrant
Shares”) are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common
Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock issued and outstanding on the Original Issue Date and in accordance
with the terms of such stock on the Original Issue Date or as amended, that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combines its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of capital stock any additional
shares of Common Stock of the Company, then in each such case the Number of Warrant Shares shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this
Section 9(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such dividend or distribution, provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not
fully paid on the date fixed therefor, the Number of Warrant Shares shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such
record date and thereafter the Number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 9(a) as of the time
of actual payment of such dividends. Any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 9(a) shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, combination or issuance.
6
(b) Pro
Rata Distributions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other pro
rata 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, options, evidence of indebtedness
or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar
transaction, but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any distribution of shares of Common Stock subject to Section 9(a),
any distribution of Purchase Rights (as defined below) subject to Section 9(c) and any Fundamental Transaction (as defined
below) subject to Section 9(d)) (a “Distribution”) 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 or restrictions on exercise
of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage (as defined below)) immediately before the date on 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, that to the extent that the Holder’s right
to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage,
then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership
of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution
shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder
and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution
(and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to
the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.
(c) Purchase
Rights. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property, in each case pro rata to the record holders of any class 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 or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including
without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) 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 Common Stock are to be determined for
the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate
in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder
shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such
Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall
be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the
other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase
Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to
the same extent as if there had been no such limitation). As used in this Section 9(c), (i) “Options” means
any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities and (ii) “Convertible
Securities” mean any stock or securities (other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable
for shares of Common Stock.
7
(d) Fundamental
Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another Person, in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in which the stockholders of the Company immediately
prior to such merger or consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately
after such merger or consolidation, (ii) the Company effects any sale to another Person of all or substantially all of its assets
in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another
Person), holders of capital stock tender shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company and
the Company or such other Person, as applicable, accepts such tender for payment, (iv) the Company consummates a stock purchase
agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement)
with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company (except
for any such transaction in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction maintain, in substantially the
same proportions, the voting power of such Person immediately after the transaction) or (v) the Company effects any reclassification
of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for
other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) above)
(in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then following such Fundamental Transaction the Holder shall have
the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled
to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the
holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (including any Distributions or Purchase Rights
then held in abeyance pursuant to Sections 9(b) or 9(c) above) without regard to any limitations on exercise
contained herein (the “Alternate Consideration”). The Company shall not effect any Fundamental Transaction in which
the Company is not the surviving entity or the Alternate Consideration includes securities of another Person unless (A) the Alternate
Consideration is solely cash and the Company provides for the simultaneous “cashless exercise” of this Warrant as set forth
in the paragraph below or (B) prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving
entity or other Person (including any purchaser of assets of the Company) shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder such Alternate
Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations under
this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 9(d) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions analogous to a Fundamental
Transaction type.
8
Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, solely in connection with the circumstances described in subclause (A) above, the Holder may, in its sole
discretion, satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise”, in which event the Company shall
issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares in an exchange of securities effected pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Act, determined as follows:
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
“X” equals the number
of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;
“Y” equals the total
number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised;
“A” equals the Closing
Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg Financial Market) as of the Trading Day on the date immediately preceding
the Exercise Date; and
“B” equals the Exercise
Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
For purposes of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a “cashless
exercise” transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be
deemed to have commenced, on the Original Issue Date (provided that the Commission continues to take the position that such treatment
is proper at the time of such exercise). Except as set forth in Section 5(b) (Buy-in Remedy) and Section 12
(No Fractional Shares), in no event will the exercise of this Warrant be settled in cash.
(e) Number
of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Number of Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 9, the Exercise
Price shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for
the increased or decreased Number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Exercise Price be adjusted below the par value of the Common Stock
then in effect.
(f) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth of one cent or the nearest share, as applicable.
(g) Notice
of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will, at
the written request of the Holder, promptly compute such adjustment, in good faith, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and
prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type
of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise
to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly
deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Transfer Agent.
9
(h) Notice
of Corporate Events. If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of
cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement
contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice of such transaction at least ten (10) days
prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote
with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice. In addition, if while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company
authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction contemplated
by Section 9(d), other than a Fundamental Transaction under clause (iii) of Section 9(d), the Company shall
deliver to the Holder a notice of such Fundamental Transaction at least thirty (30) days prior to the date such Fundamental Transaction
is consummated. Holder agrees to maintain any information disclosed pursuant to this Section 9(h) in confidence until
such information is publicly available, and shall comply with applicable law with respect to trading in the Company’s securities
following receipt of any such information.
(i) Notice
of Data Announcement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Data Announcement,
which written notice shall in no event be delivered to the Holder more than two Trading Days following such Data Announcement.
(j)
Voluntary Adjustment By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the
Principal Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, reduce the then-current Exercise Price to any
amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.
10
10. Limitations
on Exercise.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant (other than for Pre-Funded
Warrants), and the Holder of this Warrant shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant (other than for Pre-Funded Warrants),
and any such exercise shall be null and void ab initio and treated as if the exercise had not been made, to the extent that immediately
prior to or following such exercise, the Holder, together with the Attribution Parties, beneficially owns or would beneficially own as
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, in excess of [4.99][9.99]%
(the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock that would be issued and outstanding following such exercise. For purposes
of calculating beneficial ownership for determining whether the Maximum Percentage is or will be exceeded, the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder together with the Attribution Parties, shall include the number of shares
of Common Stock held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder together with the Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the relevant Warrant with respect to which the determination is being made but shall exclude the number
of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrant held and/or beneficially
owned by the Holder or the Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other
securities of the Company held and/or beneficially owned by such Holder or any Attribution Party (including, without limitation, any convertible
notes, convertible stock or warrants) that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained
herein. For purposes of this Section 10(a), beneficial ownership of the Holder or the Attribution Parties shall, except as
set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, be calculated and determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock, a Holder of this Warrant may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s
most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Commission, as the case may
be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting
forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (such issued and outstanding shares, the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”).
For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one business day confirm orally and
in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The Holder shall disclose to the
Company the number of shares of Common Stock that it, together with the Attribution Parties holds and/or beneficially owns and has the
right to acquire through the exercise of derivative securities and any limitations on exercise or conversion analogous to the limitation
contained herein contemporaneously or immediately prior to submitting an Exercise Notice for the relevant Warrant. If the Company receives
an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding
Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to
the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s, together with the Attribution Parties’, beneficial
ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 10(a), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company
of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is
reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder
any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. 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 and the
Attribution Parties since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of Common
Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder, together with the Attribution Parties, being deemed to beneficially
own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s, together with the Attribution Parties’, aggregate
beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be
cancelled ab initio, and the Holder and/or the Attribution Parties shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares.
As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the
Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares, if any. By written notice to the Company, a Holder of this Warrant
may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% specified in such notice;
provided that any increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company
and shall not negatively affect any partial exercise effected prior to such change.
11
(b) This
Section 10 shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder or the Attribution Parties may receive or
beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder or the Attribution Parties may
receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 9(d) of this Warrant. For purposes of clarity,
the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be
beneficially owned by the Holder or the Attribution Parties for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules promulgated thereunder or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, including
Rule 16a-1(a)(1). No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability
of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this Section 10
shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 10 to the
extent necessary to correct this Section 10 or any portion of this Section 10 which may be defective or inconsistent
with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 10 or to make changes or supplements necessary
or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this Section 10 may not be waived and
shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
11. No
Fractional Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants. No fractional Warrant Shares or fractional Pre-Funded Warrants will be issued in connection
with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable, the number of Warrant Shares to
be issued shall be rounded down to the next whole number and the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the fair market value (based on
the Closing Sale Price) for any such fractional shares.
12. Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered
via confirmed e-mail at the e-mail address specified by the Company prior to 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on a Trading Day, (ii) the
next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via confirmed e-mail at the e-mail address
specified by the Company on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on any Trading Day, (iii) the
Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service specifying next business day delivery,
or (iv) upon actual receipt by the Person to whom such notice is required to be given, if by hand delivery. Notice to the Company
shall be delivered, mailed or sent to Editas Medicine, Inc., 11 Hurley St., Cambridge, MA 02141, Attention: General Counsel, E-mail:
legal@editasmed.com, with a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to: Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, 60 State Street, Boston,
MA 02109, Attention: Stuart M. Falber, Email: stuart.falber@wilmerhale.com. Notice to the Holder shall be delivered, mailed or sent to
such address or other contact information delivered by the Holder to the Company or as is on the books and records of the Company.
12
13. Warrant
Agent. The Company shall initially serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company
may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting
from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new
warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent
under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant
agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
14. Miscellaneous.
(a) No
Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise set forth in this Warrant, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder
of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose,
nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder
of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action
(whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, conveyance or otherwise),
receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant
Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant
shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise)
or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
(b) Further
Assurances. Except as and to the extent waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without
limitation, amending its certificate or 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 (a) 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, (b) take all such action as may be necessary
or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise
of this Warrant, and (c) 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.
13
(c) Successors
and Assigns. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may
not be assigned by the Company without the written consent of the Holder, except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction.
This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Holder and their respective successors and assigns.
Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder
any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant.
(d) Amendment
and Waiver. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder, or their successors and assigns. Except
as otherwise provided herein, the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed
by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holder.
(e) Acceptance.
Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.
(f) Governing
Law; Jurisdiction. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW

“Attribution Parties”

ownership of the Company’s Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s and/or any other Attribution Parties
for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Exchange Act. For clarity, the purpose of the foregoing is to subject
collectively the Holder and all other Attribution Parties to the Maximum Percentage.
“Closing Sale Price”
means, for any security as of any date, the last trade price for such security on the Principal Trading Market for such security, as reported
by Bloomberg Financial Markets, or, if such Principal Trading Market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate
the last trade price, then the last trade price of such security prior to 4:00 P.M., New York City time, as reported by Bloomberg Financial
Markets, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last trade price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin
board for such security as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets. If the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a
particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as
mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. If the Company and the Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such
security, then the Board of Directors of the Company (or a duly authorized committee thereof) shall use its good faith judgment to determine
the fair market value. The Board of Directors’ (or such duly authorized committee’s) determination shall be binding upon all
parties absent demonstrable error. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock
combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

unincorporated association, joint venture, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or any other entity or organization.

quoted for trading, which, as of the Original Issue Date, shall be the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

was most recently declared effective on March 21, 2025.
“Securities Act” means the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all of the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
“Standard Settlement
Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, for the Principal Trading Market with respect

Registration Statement. As of the Original Issue Date, the Warrant Shares are issuable under the Registration Statement. Accordingly,
the Warrant and, assuming issuance pursuant to the Registration Statement or an exchange meeting the requirements of Section 3(a)(9) of
the Securities Act as in effect on the Original Issue Date, the Warrant Shares, are not “restricted securities” under Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act as of the Original Issue Date. The Company shall register ownership of this Warrant, upon records
to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder (which
shall include the initial Holder or, as the case may be, any assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder) 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.
3. Registration
of Transfers. This Warrant and all rights hereunder 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 as Schedule 2 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. Subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws, the Company shall, or will cause
its Transfer Agent to, register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant,
and payment for all applicable transfer taxes (if any). Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock
in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”) evidencing the portion of this Warrant
so transferred shall be issued to the transferee, and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred,
if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance
by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant.
The Company shall, or will cause its Transfer Agent to, prepare, issue and deliver at the Company’s own expense any New Warrant
under this Section 3. Until due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the registered Holder hereof
as the owner and holder for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
4. Exercise
of Warrants.
(a) All
or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by this Warrant (including Section 11)
at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date, and such rights shall not expire until exercised in full.
(b) The
Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached as Schedule 1 hereto
(the “Exercise Notice”), completed and duly signed by an authorized officer of the Holder, and (ii) payment of
the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless
exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 10 below), and the date on which the last of such
items is delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.”
The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the
Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right
to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares, if any. 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 Exercise Notice within one (1) Trading
Day of receipt of such notice.
(c) The
Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this section, following
the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given
time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
5. Delivery
of Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon
exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement
Period following the Exercise Date), upon the request of the Holder, cause the Transfer Agent to credit such aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock specified by the Holder in the Exercise Notice and to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise (the “Exercise
Shares”) to (i) the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system or (ii) in book-entry form via a direct registration system (“DRS”)
maintained by or on behalf of the Transfer Agent, in each case, so long as either (A) there is an effective registration statement
permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or the resale of such Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Exercise Shares are
eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act (assuming cashless exercise of this Warrant). If (A) and (B) above are not true, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent
to either (i) record the Exercise Shares in the name of the Holder or its designee on the certificates reflecting the Exercise Shares
with an appropriate legend regarding restriction on transferability, which shall be issued and dispatched by overnight courier to the
address as specified in the Exercise Notice, and on the Company’s share register or (ii) issue such Exercise Shares in the
name of the Holder or its designee in restricted book-entry form in the Company’s share register. The Holder, or any Person so designated
by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise
Date, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account, the date of the book entry positions
or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Exercise Shares, as the case may be.
(b) In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver, or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver to the Holder
or its designee Exercise Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a) within the Standard Settlement Period
following the Exercise Date (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Holder to the Company)
and the Holder or the Holder’s broker on its behalf purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) 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”) but did not receive within the Standard Settlement Period, then the Company shall, within two Trading Days
after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s sole discretion, promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder or
its designee the Exercise Shares pursuant to Section 5(a) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess
(if any) of the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
in the Buy-In, less the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock purchased in the Buy-In, times (B) the Closing Sale
Price of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice promptly after the occurrence
of a Buy-In, indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In together with applicable confirmations and other evidence
reasonably requested by the Company.
(c) To
the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 5(b), the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares
in accordance with and subject to the terms hereof (including the limitations set forth in Section 11 below) are absolute
and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any
provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation
or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Subject to Section 5(b), nothing
herein shall limit the 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 Exercise
Shares; provided, however, that the Holder shall not be entitled to both (i) require the Company to reinstate the portion of the
Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not timely honored and (ii) receive the number of shares
of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 5(a).
6. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Exercise Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or
transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense (excluding any applicable stamp duties) in respect of the issuance
of such shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any Warrant Shares or the Warrants in a
name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise
as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement
of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange
and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt
of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction (in such case) and, in each case, a customary and
reasonable contractual indemnity, if requested by the Company. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant,
then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue
the New Warrant.
8. Reservation
of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will, at all times while this Warrant is outstanding, reserve and keep available
out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue
Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are initially issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the
Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares
so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof,
be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable. The Company will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary
to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or
of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company further
covenants that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Holder, take any actions to increase the par value of the Common
Stock at any time while this Warrant is outstanding.
9. Certain
Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Number of Warrant
Shares”) are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common
Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock issued and outstanding on the Original Issue Date and in accordance
with the terms of such stock on the Original Issue Date or as amended, that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of capital stock any additional
shares of Common Stock of the Company, then in each such case the Number of Warrant Shares shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this
Section 9(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution, provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid on
the date fixed therefor, the Number of Warrant Shares shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date
and thereafter the Number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 9(a) as of the time of actual
payment of such dividends. Any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 9(a) shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, combination or issuance.
(b) Pro
Rata Distributions. If, on or after the Original Issue Date, the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other pro rata 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, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets
by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction, but, for
the avoidance of doubt, excluding any distribution of shares of Common Stock subject to Section 9(a), any distribution of
Purchase Rights (as defined below) subject to Section 9(c) and any Fundamental Transaction (as defined below) subject
to Section 9(d)) (a “Distribution”) 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 or restrictions on exercise of this
Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage (as defined below)) immediately before the date on 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, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in
any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall
not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of
Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be
held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other
Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions
declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there
had been no such limitation.
(c) Purchase
Rights. If at any time on or after the Original Issue Date, the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property, in each case pro rata to the record holders of any class 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 or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including
without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) 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 Common Stock are to be determined for
the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate
in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder
shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such
Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and at the Holder’s election, in its
sole discretion, either (1) such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such
time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage,
at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase
Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation
or (2) the Company shall offer the Holder the right upon exercise of such Purchase Right to acquire a security (e.g. a pre-funded
warrant) that would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage but will otherwise to
the extent possible have economic and other rights, preferences and privileges substantially consistent and on par with the securities
or other property issuable upon exercise of the originally offered Purchase Rights). As used in this Section 9(c), (i) “Options”
means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities and (ii) “Convertible
Securities” mean any stock or securities (other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable
for shares of Common Stock.
(d) Fundamental
Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another Person, in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in which the stockholders of the Company immediately
prior to such merger or consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately
after such merger or consolidation, (ii) the Company effects any sale to another Person of all or substantially all of its assets
in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another
Person), holders of capital stock tender shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company and
the Company or such other Person, as applicable, accepts such tender for payment, (iv) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement
or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with
another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company (except for any
such transaction in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction maintain, in substantially the same proportions,
the voting power of such Person immediately after the transaction) or (v) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common
Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities,
cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) above)
(in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then following such Fundamental Transaction the Holder shall have
the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled
to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the
holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (including any Distributions or Purchase Rights
then held in abeyance pursuant to Sections 9(b) or 9(c) above) without regard to any limitations on exercise contained
herein (the “Alternate Consideration”). The Company shall not effect any Fundamental Transaction in which the Company
is not the surviving entity or the Alternate Consideration includes securities of another Person unless (i) the Alternate Consideration
is solely cash and the Company provides for the simultaneous “cashless exercise” of this Warrant pursuant to Section 10
below or (ii) prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or other Person
(including any purchaser of assets of the Company) shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder such Alternate Consideration as,
in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The
provisions of this Section 9(d) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions analogous to a Fundamental Transaction
type.
(e) Number
of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Number of Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 9, the Exercise
Price shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for
the increased or decreased Number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Exercise Price be adjusted below the par value of the Common Stock then
in effect.
(f) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth of one cent or the nearest share, as applicable.
(g) Notice
of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will, at
the written request of the Holder, promptly compute such adjustment, in good faith, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare
a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant
Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments
and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of
each such certificate to the Holder and to the Transfer Agent.
(h) Notice
of Corporate Events. If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of
cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement
contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice of such transaction at least ten (10) days
prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote
with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice. In addition, if while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company
authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction contemplated
by Section 9(d), other than a Fundamental Transaction under clause (iii) of Section 9(d), the Company shall
deliver to the Holder a notice of such Fundamental Transaction at least thirty (30) days prior to the date such Fundamental Transaction
is consummated. Holder agrees to maintain any information disclosed pursuant to this Section 9(h) in confidence until
such information is publicly available, and shall comply with applicable law with respect to trading in the Company’s securities
following receipt of any such information.
10. Payment
of Exercise Price. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the Holder may, in its sole discretion,
satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise”, in which event the Company shall issue to
the Holder the number of Warrant Shares in an exchange of securities effected pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Act, determined as follows:
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
“X” equals
the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;
“Y” equals
the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised;
“A” equals
the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg Financial Market) as of the Trading Day on the date immediately
preceding the Exercise Date; and
“B” equals
the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a “cashless exercise” transaction
shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced,
on the Original Issue Date (provided that the Commission continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such
exercise). In the event that a registration statement registering the issuance of Warrant Shares is, for any reason, not effective at
the time of exercise of this Warrant, then this Warrant may only be exercised through a cashless exercise, as set forth in this Section 10.
If the Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the Company acknowledges and agrees that, in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of
the Securities Act, the Exercise Shares issued in such exercise shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised
and may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrants being exercised. Except as set forth in Section 5(b) (Buy-in
Remedy) and Section 12 (No Fractional Shares), in no event will the exercise of this Warrant be settled in cash.
11. Limitations
on Exercise.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder of
this Warrant shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant, and any such exercise shall be null and void ab initio and
treated as if the exercise had not been made, to the extent that immediately prior to or following such exercise, the Holder, together
with the Attribution Parties, beneficially owns or would beneficially own as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, in excess of [4.99][9.99]% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of
the Common Stock that would be issued and outstanding following such exercise. For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership for determining
whether the Maximum Percentage is or will be exceeded, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held and/or beneficially owned by
the Holder together with the Attribution Parties, shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held and/or beneficially owned by
the Holder together with the Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the relevant Warrant
with respect to which the determination is being made but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon
(i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrant held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder or the Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise
or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company held and/or beneficially owned by such
Holder or any Attribution Party (including, without limitation, any convertible notes, convertible stock or warrants) that are subject
to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. For purposes of this Section 11(a),
beneficial ownership of the Holder or the Attribution Parties shall, except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, be calculated
and determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. For purposes
of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder of this Warrant may rely on the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K
or other public filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any
other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (such issued and outstanding
shares, the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the
Holder, the Company shall within one business day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares
of Common Stock then outstanding. The Holder shall disclose to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock that it, together with
the Attribution Parties holds and/or beneficially owns and has the right to acquire through the exercise of derivative securities and
any limitations on exercise or conversion analogous to the limitation contained herein contemporaneously or immediately prior to submitting
an Exercise Notice for the relevant Warrant. If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder
in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause
the Holder’s, together with the Attribution Parties’, beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 11(a),
to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to
such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as
soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares.
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 and the Attribution Parties since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding
Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder,
together with the Attribution Parties, being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued
by which the Holder’s, together with the Attribution Parties’, aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage
(the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder and/or the Attribution
Parties shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the
Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess
Shares, if any. By written notice to the Company, a Holder of this Warrant may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage
to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% specified in such notice; provided that any increase in the Maximum Percentage will not
be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall not negatively affect any partial exercise effected
prior to such change.
(b) This
Section 11 shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder or the Attribution Parties may receive or
beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder or the Attribution Parties may
receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 9(c) of this Warrant. For purposes of clarity,
the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be
beneficially owned by the Holder or the Attribution Parties for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules promulgated thereunder or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, including
Rule 16a-1(a)(1). No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this Section 11 shall have any effect on the
applicability of the provisions of this Section 11 with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions
of this Section 11 shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this
Section 11 to the extent necessary to correct this Section 11 or any portion of this Section 11 which
may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 11 or to make
changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this Section 11
may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
12. No
Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any
fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the next whole
number and the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the fair market value (based on the Closing Sale Price) for any such fractional shares.
13. Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered
via confirmed e-mail at the e-mail address specified by the Company prior to 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on a Trading Day, (ii) the
next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via confirmed e-mail at the e-mail address
specified by the Company on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on any Trading Day, (iii) the
Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service specifying next business day delivery,
or (iv) upon actual receipt by the Person to whom such notice is required to be given, if by hand delivery. Notice to the Company
shall be delivered, mailed or sent to Editas Medicine, Inc., 11 Hurley St., Cambridge, MA 02141, Attention: General Counsel, E-mail:
legal@editasmed.com, with a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to: Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, 60 State Street, Boston, MA
02109, Attention: Stuart M. Falber, Email: stuart.falber@wilmerhale.com. Notice to the Holder shall be delivered, mailed or sent to such
address or other contact information delivered by the Holder to the Company or as is on the books and records of the Company.
14. Warrant
Agent. The Company shall initially serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company
may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting
from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new
warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent
under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant
agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
15. Miscellaneous.
(a) No
Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise set forth in this Warrant, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder
of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose,
nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder
of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action

body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
(c) Successors

Re: Editas Medicine, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is being furnished to you in connection
with (i) the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-277471) originally filed by Editas Medicine, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), on February 28, 2024 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 and Post-Effective
Amendment No. 2, both filed with the Commission on March 5, 2025, for the registration of, among other things, shares of the Company’s
common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, which may
be issued from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act at an aggregate initial offering
price not to exceed $350,000,000, as set forth in the Registration Statement and the prospectus contained therein (the “Base Prospectus”),
together with a related Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-296213) filed by the Company with the Commission on May 26, 2026
pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act, which became effective upon filing (collectively, the “Registration Statement”);
and (ii) the prospectus supplement, dated May 26, 2026 (the “Prospectus Supplement” and together with the Base Prospectus,
the “Prospectuses”), relating to the issuance and sale pursuant to the Registration Statement of 55,555,556
shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) and accompanying common stock warrants (the “Common Stock Warrants”)
to purchase up to 55,555,556 shares of Common Stock (or pre-funded warrants to purchase
shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants” and together with the Common Stock Warrants, the “Warrants”)
in lieu thereof). The Shares and the Common Stock Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”. The shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Common Stock Warrants (including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Pre-Funded
Warrants originally issued upon exercise of Common Stock Warrants) are herein referred to as the “Warrant Shares.”
The Securities are to be offered and sold by the
Company pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated May 26, 2026 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and among the Company
and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the underwriters named therein, which is being
filed with the Commission as Exhibit 1.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on the date hereof.
We are acting as counsel for the Company in connection
with the issue and sale by the Company of the Securities. We have examined and relied upon a signed copy of the Registration Statement
and copies of the Prospectuses, each as filed with the Commission. We have also examined and relied upon the Underwriting Agreement, the
forms of Warrants, minutes of meetings and actions of the stockholders and the Board of Directors of the Company, including the committees
thereof, as provided to us by the Company, the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company, each as restated and/or amended
to date, and such other documents, instruments and certificates as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of rendering the opinions
