Board of Directors
Document Security Systems, Inc.
First Federal Plaza, Suite 1525
28 E. Main Street
Rochester, New York 14614
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel
to Document Security Systems, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance and sale
of up to 9,214,978 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.02 par value per share (the “Common
Stock”), together with warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,842,995 shares (the “Warrant Shares”)
of Common Stock, pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-191704), as filed by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”), as declared effective by the Commission on November 1, 2013 (the registration statement, as it may be amended
from time to time, is herein referred to as the “Registration Statement”), together with the exhibits to the Registration
Statement and the documents incorporated by reference therein and the related base prospectus which forms a part of and is included
in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus supplement in the form filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
under the Act (together, the “Prospectus”).
The Shares and Warrants
are to be sold pursuant to a form of Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company
and the purchasers signatory thereto, which has been filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed
on September 17, 2015 (the “Form 8-K”).
In connection with
this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended to date, the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended to date, the Purchase Agreement,
the form of Common Stock Purchase Warrant filed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K, and such instruments, documents, certificates and
records that we have deemed relevant and necessary for the basis of our opinion hereinafter expressed. In such examination, we
have assumed: (i) the authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures; (ii) the conformity to
the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; (iii) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations
and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates we have reviewed; and (iv) the due execution
and delivery of all documents where due execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof.
Based upon the foregoing,
we are of the opinion that (i) the Shares, when issued and sold in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, (ii) provided that the Warrants have
been duly executed and delivered by the Company and duly delivered to the respective purchaser thereof against payment therefor,
then the Warrants, when issued and sold in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus,
will be the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms,
except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating
to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability
is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) and implied covenants of good faith and fair dealings, and (iii) the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, when issued upon the exercise of the Warrants and sold against payment
therefor in accordance with the terms thereof and sold in accordance with the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
This opinion is limited
to the New York Business Corporation Law, including the statutory provisions of the New York General Corporate Law and all applicable
provisions of the New York Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws.
We hereby consent
to the use of our name wherever it appears in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and in any amendment or supplement
thereto, the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to a current report on Form 8-K of the Company and the incorporation by reference
of this opinion in the Registration Statement.
In giving this consent,
we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act or the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Commission.

Very truly yours, |

articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is
duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in

“Material Adverse Effect”) and no Proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking,
limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.

it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company
and no further action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s stockholders in connection herewith
or therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which
it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance
with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company
in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by
laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification

of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) Filings,
Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice
to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other
Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents that has not been

in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, which became effective on November 1, 2013 (the “Effective
Date”), including the Prospectus, and such amendments and supplements thereto as may have been required to the date of

and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company, are threatened by the Commission.
The Company, if required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, shall file the Prospectus with the Commission pursuant

and at each Closing Date, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto conformed and will conform in all material respects
to the requirements of the Securities Act and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and the Prospectus
and any amendments or supplements thereto, at the time the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto was issued and at
each Closing Date, conformed and will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and did not and
will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(g) Capitalization.
The Company has not issued any capital stock since its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, other than pursuant
to the exercise of employee stock options under the Company’s stock option plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock
to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of Common
Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date of the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act. No Person has any
right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents except for any such rights that have been waived. Except as a result of the purchase and sale of the
Shares and Warrants or payment of the contractor invoices in whole or in part in shares in the ordinary course of business, there
are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to,
or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe
for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any
Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. The issuance and sale
of the Shares and Warrants will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other
than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange
or reset price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none
of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.
No further approval or authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors or others is required for the issuance and sale
of the Shares and Warrants. There are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to
the Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any of
the Company’s stockholders.

to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof,

with the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”)
on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration
of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement
of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company has never been an issuer subject
to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect
at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified
in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes
required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries
as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of
unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.
(i) S-3
Eligibility. The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act under the transaction requirements
set forth in General Instruction 1.B.6 of such form.
(j) Compliance.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary: (i) is in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been
waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the
Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture,
loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is
bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), or (ii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance
or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to
taxes, environmental protection, occupational health and safety, product quality and safety and employment and labor matters, except
in each case as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(k) Regulatory
Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports,
except where the failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material
Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation
or modification of any Material Permit.
(l) Title
to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them
and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries,
in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not
materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries and (ii) Liens
for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made in accordance with GAAP and, the
payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company
and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company and the Subsidiaries
are in compliance.
(m) Intellectual
Property. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights to use all patents, patent applications, patent rights,
licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential
information, systems or procedures), trademarks, trademark registrations, service marks, service mark registrations, trade names,
mask work rights and other intellectual property necessary to carry on the business now operated by it or proposed to be operated
by it as described in the SEC Reports (collectively, “Intellectual Property”), except where the lack of such
ownership or rights to use would not have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no litigation or other proceeding pending or, to
the Company’s knowledge, threatened and no claims are presently being asserted by any third party challenging or questioning
the ownership, validity, or enforceability of the Company's right to use or own any Intellectual Property or asserting that the
use of the Company’s Intellectual Property by the Company or the operation of the Company’s business infringes upon
or misappropriates the Intellectual Property of any third party, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable
basis for any such claim. The Company is not otherwise aware of any infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others
with respect to any of the Company's Intellectual Property or the operation of the Company’s business. The Company and its
subsidiaries have taken all steps necessary to perfect its ownership of and interest in the Intellectual Property.
(n) Insurance.
The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and
in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including,
but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to $2,000,000. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or
to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in
cost.
(o) Certain
Fees. No brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company or any Subsidiary to any broker,
financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Purchaser shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any
claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
(p) Investment
Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Shares and Warrants,
will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become an “investment company” subject
to registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(q) Listing
and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the
Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration
of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating
such registration. The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on
which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or
maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable
future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.
(r) Disclosure.
Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company
confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided a Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information
that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information which is not otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus
Supplement. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions
in securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to a Purchaser regarding the Company
and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby is true and correct and does not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser
makes and has not made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those
specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.
(s) No
Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of each Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2,
neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made
any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering
of the Shares and Warrants to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable shareholder approval
provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(t) Tax
Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local
income and all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject,
(ii) has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due
on such returns, reports and declarations, and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of
all material taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid
taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or
of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.
(u) Foreign
Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any agent
or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful
contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any
unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns
from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made by any person
acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any
provision of FCPA.
(v) Accountants. To the knowledge and belief of the Company, the Company’s accounting firm (i) is a registered public
accounting firm as required by the Exchange Act, and (ii) has expressed, in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, its
opinion with respect to the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2014.
(w) Acknowledgment
Regarding Each Purchaser’s Purchase of Shares and Warrants. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Purchaser
is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length Purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges that each Purchaser is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of
the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and
any advice given by a Purchaser or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby is merely incidental to such Purchaser’s purchase of the Shares and Warrants. The Company further represents
to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been
based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.
(x) Regulation

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

of Foreign Assets Control. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary nor, to the Company's knowledge, any director, officer, agent,
employee or affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of
Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”).
(bb) Money
Laundering. The operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with
applicable financial record-keeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970,
as amended, applicable money laundering statutes and applicable rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Money
Laundering Laws”), and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body
or any arbitrator involving the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge
of the Company or any Subsidiary, threatened.
3.2 Representations
and Warranties of Each Purchaser. Each Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of each Closing
Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein):
(a) Organization;
Authority. The Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability
company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of
this Agreement and performance by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of the Purchaser.
Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by the Purchaser, and when delivered by the Purchaser in
accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii)
as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii)
insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(b) Understandings
or Arrangements. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares and Warrants as principal for its own account and has no direct or
indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Shares and
Warrants (this representation and warranty not limiting the Purchaser’s right to sell the Shares and Warrants pursuant
to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). The Purchaser is
acquiring the Shares and Warrants hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
(c) Purchaser
Status. At the time the Purchaser was offered the Shares and Warrants, it was, and as of the applicable Closing Date, it will
be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
(d) Experience
of the Purchaser. The Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and
experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment
in the Shares and Warrants, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic
risk of an investment in the Shares and Warrants and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e) Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Purchaser has not, nor
has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases
or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that the Purchaser
first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material
terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions
of the Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio
managers managing other portions of the Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect
to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares and Warrants
covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement, the Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality
of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any
actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect
Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
(f) Access
to Information. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all
exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed
necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of
the Shares and Warrants and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares and Warrants; (ii) access to information about the
Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable
it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can
acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.
The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect a Purchaser’s right to rely
on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained
in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date
hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act.
4.2 Integration.
The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined
in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares and Warrants for purposes of
the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other
transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
4.3 Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including descriptions of the Transaction
Documents or including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto, with the Commission within the time required by the Exchange
Act. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of a Purchaser, or include
the name of a Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written
consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction
Documents with the Commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which
case the Company shall provide a Purchaser with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).
4.4 Shareholder
Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that a
Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including
any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company,
or that a Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Shares and
Warrants under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and a Purchaser.
4.5 Non-Public
Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide a Purchaser or its agents
or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such
Purchaser shall have entered into a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information.
The Company understands and confirms that a Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities
of the Company.
4.6 Use
of Proceeds. Except as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, the Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the
Shares hereunder for working capital purposes and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s
debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices) , (b) for
the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation, or (d) in
violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.
4.7 Reservation
of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available
at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company
to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants.
4.8 Listing
of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on
the Trading Market on which it is currently listed. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock
traded on any other Trading Market, it will then use best efforts to include in such application all of the Shares (including shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants), and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the
Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably
necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the
Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.
4.9
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. The Purchaser covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf
or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales of any of the Company’s
securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.3.
Each Purchaser covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed
by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.3, the Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality
of the existence and terms of this transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes
any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company
after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press
release as described in Section 4.3, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any
securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.3, and (iii) no
Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial press release
as described in Section 4.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment
vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers
have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s
assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that
made the investment decision to purchase Shares and Warrants covered by this Agreement.
ARTICLE V.
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, or terminated by the Company, by written notice to the other parties, if the
Initial Closing and any Subsequent Closing have not been consummated without breach hereof by the terminating party on or before

breach by any other party (or parties).

in the case of an amendment, by the Company and each Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement
of any such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other
provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any
manner impair the exercise of any such right.
5.6 Headings.
The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect

and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and
permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
of each Purchaser (other than by merger). A Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to

and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party
hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced
exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York . Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive

or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding
is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail

5.11 Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being
understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf”
signature page were an original thereof.

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full
force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that
they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation),
or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall
also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares
or Warrants.
5.14 Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each Purchaser
and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages
may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents
and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy
at law would be adequate.
5.15 Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of
any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken
or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
5.16 Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction
Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting

Exhibit 10.2
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
DOCUMENT
SECURITY SYSTEM, INC.
Warrant Shares: [_____] |
Initial Exercise Date: March ___, 2016 |
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE
WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, [______________________] and its permitted assigns
(the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time
on or after March ___, 2016 (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the four
year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for
and purchase from DOCUMENT SECURITY SYSTEM, INC., a New York corporation (the “Company”),
up to [_________] shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s
common stock, $0.02 par value (“Common Stock”). The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant
shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section 1. Definitions.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”), dated September ___, 2015, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial
Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as
it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company)
of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto. Within three (3) Trading Days following the date
of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice
of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the
Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant
to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company.
Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder
shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable
number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased
and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within one (1) Business
Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason
of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant
Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise
Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.40, subject to adjustment hereunder
(the “Exercise Price”).
c) Mechanics
of Exercise.
i. Delivery
of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall use best efforts to cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted
by the Transfer Agent to the Holder if specifically requested by Holder, by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker
with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company
is then a participant in such system and there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares
to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the
Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice
of Exercise, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required) and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (such
date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder
or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all
purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required
to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(c)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.
ii. Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder
and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall
in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(c)(i)
by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. No
Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise
of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the
Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction
multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
v. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or
other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the
Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder;
provided, however, that in the event Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder,
this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder
and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental
thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise.
vi. Closing
of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this
Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
Section 3. Certain
Adjustments.
a) Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise
makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable
in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon
exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including
by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification
of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding
immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the
aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become
effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall
be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
c) Notice
to Holder. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly
mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of
Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
Section 4. Transfer
of Warrant.
a) Transferability.
This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in
part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment
of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient
to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer, provided, however, that such transfer is in compliance with
all applicable federal and state securities laws. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations
specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant
not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be
exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New
Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the
Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by
the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such
division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants
to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial
issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant
thereto.
c) Warrant
Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered
Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and
for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No
Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights
as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(c)(i).
b) Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant
Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of
the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate,
if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation,
in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
c) Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or
granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding
Business Day.
d) Authorized
Shares.
The Company covenants
that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient
number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.
If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect in full the exercise
of this Warrant, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder, the Company will promptly take such corporate
action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including without limitation, using its best efforts to obtain
the requisite shareholder approval necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. The Company further covenants
that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock
certificates to execute and issue the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The
Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein
without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock
may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance
herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by
the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
issue).
e) 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 internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New
York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of
New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of this Warrant), and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction
of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding
by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the
address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service
of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant,
then, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’
fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
f) Nonwaiver
and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate
as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision
of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant,
which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to
cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings,
incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies
hereunder.
g) Notices.
Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered
in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
h) Limitation
of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase
Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder
for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company
or by creditors of the Company.
i) Remedies.
The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled
to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation
for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert
the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
j) Successors
and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns
of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and
shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
k) Amendment.
This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holders
of a majority of the Warrant Shares represented by the Warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
l) Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions
of this Warrant.
m) Headings.
The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of
this Warrant.
