Exhibit 1.2

Energous Corporation

MAXIMUM: 5,000,000 UNITS, EACH COMPRISING 1 SHARE OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK AND 3 WARRANTS, EACH TO PURCHASE 1 SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

SELLING AGENCY AGREEMENT

[*], 2024

Digital Offering, LLC
1461 Glenneyre Street, Suite D

Laguna Beach, CA 92651

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

Energous Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Selling Agency Agreement (this “Agreement”), to issue and sell on a “best efforts” basis up to a maximum of 5,000,000 units, each unit consisting of one (1) share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and 3 warrants (each a “Warrant,” and collectively the “Warrants”), of which two such Warrants shall each be exercisable to purchase one (1) share of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company at a purchase price of $1.50 per share, and one such Warrant shall be exercisable to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock at a purchase price of $2.00 per share, to investors (collectively, the “Investors”), at a purchase price of $1.50 per Unit (the “Purchase Price”), in an offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to Regulation A through Digital Offering LLC (the “Selling Agent”), acting on a best efforts basis only, in connection with such sales. The units to be sold in this offering are referred to herein as the “Units.” The Units are more fully described in the Offering Statement (as hereinafter defined).

The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the Selling Agent concerning the purchase and sale of the Units, as follows:

1. Agreement to Act as Selling Agent.

(a)            Best Efforts Basis. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained and subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Selling Agent agrees to act on a best efforts basis only, in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of the Units to the Investors. Under no circumstances will the Selling Agent be obligated to underwrite or purchase any of the Units for its own account or otherwise provide any financing.

(b)            Selling Agent’s Commissions. The Company will pay to the Selling Agent a cash commission equal to seven percent (7.00%) (the “Cash Fee”) of the gross offering proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Units, which shall be allocated by the Selling Agent to Dealers (as hereinafter defined) participating in the offering, in its sole discretion.

(c)            Selling Agent’s Warrants. The Company hereby agrees to issue to the Selling Agent (and/or its designees) warrants to purchase a number of Units equal to 3% of the total number of our Units sold in the Offering on a Closing Date for the Units (“Selling Agent’s Warrants”). Each of the Selling Agent’s Warrants will be exercisable for one Unit consisting of one share of Series A Preferred Stock and two Warrants, the “Selling Agent’s Unit Warrants,” each exercisable for the purchase of one share of Common Stock. The Selling Agent’s Warrant agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Selling Agent’s Warrant Agreement”), shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, commencing on the date of the closing of the Offering and expiring on the five-year anniversary of the date of commencement of sales in the Offering, at an initial exercise price of $1.875 per Unit, which is equal to 125% of the Purchase Price of the Units. The exercise price for up to 300,000 of the Selling Agent’s Unit Warrants included in the Units issuable upon exercise of the Selling Agent’s Warrants will be $1.50 per share and the exercise price for up to 150,000 of the Selling Agent’s Unit Warrants included in the Units issuable upon exercise of the Agents Warrants will be $2.00 per share. The Selling Agent’s Warrants shall not be redeemable. The Selling Agent’s Warrants and the securities comprising and underlying the Selling Agent’s Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA. The selling agent, or permitted assignees under such rule, may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the Selling Agent’s Warrants or the securities comprising and underlying the Selling Agent’s Warrants, nor will the selling agent or permitted assignees engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the Selling Agent’s Warrants or any of the securities comprising and underlying the Selling Agent’s Warrants for a period of 180 days from commencement of sales in the Offering, except that they may be transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of law or by reason of our reorganization, or to any selling agent or selected dealer participating in the offering and their officers, partners or registered representatives if the Selling Agent’s Warrant or the securities comprising and underlying the Selling Agent’s Warrants so transferred remain subject to the foregoing lock-up restrictions for the remainder of the time period. The Selling Agent’s Warrants will provide for adjustment in the number and price of such warrants (and the securities comprising and underlying the Selling Agent’s Warrants) to prevent dilution in the event of a stock dividend, stock split (but not a reverse stock split) or other reclassification of the Series A Preferred Stock or the Common Stock. The Selling Agent’s Warrants will provide for cashless exercise in the event there is not a qualified offering statement (or effective registration statement) covering the shares underlying the Selling Agent’s Warrants, and immediate “piggyback” registration rights, with a duration of five years from the date of commencement of sales in the Offering (in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D)), with respect to the registration or qualification of the Selling Agent’s Unit Warrants, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock may convert and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Selling Agent’s Unit Warrants.

(d)            Selected Dealer Agreements. The Selling Agent shall have the right to enter into selected dealer agreements with other broker-dealers participating in the Offering (each dealer being referred to herein as a “Dealer” and said dealers being collectively referred to herein as the “Dealers”). The Fee shall be re-allowable, in whole or in part, to the Dealers. The Company will not be liable or responsible to any Dealer for direct payment of compensation to any Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Selling Agent for payment of compensation to Dealers.

2. Delivery and Payment.

(a)            On or after the date of this Agreement, the Company, the Selling Agent, Dealmaker Securities LLC and Enterprise Bank Limited (“Enterprise Bank”) will enter into an Escrow Agreement substantially in the form included as an exhibit to the Offering Statement (the “Enterprise Bank Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which an escrow account will be established, at the Company’s expense, for investors that participate in the Offering (the “Escrow Account”). Enterprise Bank is referred to herein as the “Escrow Agent.” The Enterprise Bank Escrow Agreement is referred to herein as the “Escrow Agreement.”

(b)            Prior to the initial Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) of the Offering and any subsequent Closing Date, (i) each Investor will execute and deliver a Purchaser Questionnaire and Subscription Agreement substantially in the relevant form included as an exhibit to the Offering Statement (each, an “Investor Subscription Agreement”) to the Company and the Company will make available to the Selling Agent and the applicable Escrow Agent copies of each such Investor Subscription Agreement; (ii) each Investor will transfer to an Escrow Account funds in an amount equal to the Purchase Price per Unit as shown on the cover page of the Final Offering Circular (as hereinafter defined) multiplied by the number of Units subscribed by such Investor; (iii) subscription funds received from any Investor will be promptly transmitted to an Escrow Account in compliance with Rule 15c2-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and (iv) each Escrow Agent will notify the Company and the Selling Agent in writing as to the balance of the collected funds in the Escrow Account.

(c)            Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 2(b), Investors that maintain an account with a participating dealer, may participate in the Offering without depositing funds with the Escrow Agent, provided such Investors maintain sufficient funds in their account with the Selling Agents. At Closing, any amounts subscribed for and Units delivered will be settled broker-to-broker and credited to the Company’s account to be maintained with Cambria Capital, LLC, a participating Dealer of the Offering.

(d)            If an Escrow Agent shall have received written notice from the Company and the Selling Agent on or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on [*], 2025, or at such other time(s) on such other date(s) thereafter, as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Selling Agent (each such date, a “Closing Date”), such Escrow Agent will release the balance of the Escrow Account for collection by the Company and the Selling Agent as provided in the Escrow Agreement and the Company shall deliver the Units purchased on such Closing Date to the Investors, which delivery may be made through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or via book entry with the Company’s securities registrar and transfer agent, Equity Stock Transfer (the “Transfer Agent”). The initial closing (the “Closing”) and any subsequent closing (each, a “Subsequent Closing”) shall take place at the office of the Selling Agent or such other location as the Selling Agent and the Company shall mutually agree. All actions taken at the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously on the date of the Closing and all actions taken at any Subsequent Closing shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously on the date of any such Subsequent Closing.

(e)            If the Company and the Selling Agent determine that the Offering will not proceed, then the Escrow Agent will promptly return the funds to the investors without interest.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants and covenants to the Selling Agent that:

8. Indemnification.

(i) The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Selling Agent and each of the Dealers, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls any Selling  Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each a “Selling Agent Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages, joint or several (including any and all investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted (whether or not such Selling Agent Indemnified Party is a party thereto)), to which any of them, may become subject under the Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based on (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement made by the Company in Section 3 of this Agreement, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in (1) any Preliminary Offering Circular, the Offering Statement or the Final Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto, (2) the Pricing Disclosure Materials, or (3) any application or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, executed by the Company based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Units under the securities or Blue Sky laws thereof or filed with the Commission or any securities association or securities exchange (each, an “Application”), or (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Offering Circular, the Offering Statement, the Final Offering Circular or the Pricing Disclosure Materials, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Permitted Issuer Information or any Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable to the extent that such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage arises from the sale of the Units in the Offering to any person and is based solely on an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Selling Agent Indemnified Party through the Selling Agent expressly for inclusion in the Offering Statement, any Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Application, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Selling Agent Indemnified Party consists of the information described as such in subsection (ii) below. The indemnification obligations under this Section 8(i) are not exclusive and will be in addition to any liability which the Company might otherwise have and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available at law or in equity to each Selling Agent Indemnified Party.

(ii) The Selling Agent will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) that (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement made by the Selling Agent in Section 5 of this Agreement, (ii) arise out of or are based upon any failure or alleged failure of the Selling Agent to pay any compensation to a Dealer or Dealers, (iii) arise out of or are based solely upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offering Statement, any Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (iv) arise out of or are based solely upon the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Offering Statement, any Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Offering Statement, any Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Selling Agent expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. The Company acknowledges that, for all purposes under this Agreement, the statements set forth in the paragraphs under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in any Preliminary Offering Circular and the Final Offering Circular constitute the only information relating to the Selling Agent furnished in writing to the Company by the Selling Agent expressly for inclusion in the Offering Statement, any Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular. In no event shall the Selling Agent indemnify the Company for any amounts in excess of the fees actually received by the Selling Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(iii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (i) or (ii) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(iv) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (i) or (ii) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Selling Agent on the other from the offering of the Units. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the Indemnified Party failed to give the notice required under subsection (iii) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Selling Agent on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Selling Agent on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bears to the Fee received by the Selling Agent. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Selling Agent on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Selling Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (iv) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (iv). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (iv) shall be deemed to include 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 subsection (iv), the Selling Agent will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the Fee received by the Selling Agent pursuant to this Agreement. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

9. Termination.

(i) The obligations of the Selling Agent under this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the initial Closing Date, by notice to the Company from the Selling Agent, without liability on the part of the Selling Agent to the Company if, prior to delivery and payment for the Units, in the sole judgment of the Selling Agent: (a) there has occurred any material adverse change in the securities markets or any event, act or occurrence that has materially disrupted, or in the opinion of the Selling Agent, will in the future materially disrupt, the securities markets or there shall be such a material adverse change in general financial, political or economic conditions or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Selling Agent, inadvisable or impracticable to market the Units or enforce contracts for the sale of the Units; (b) there has occurred any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, including without limitation as a result of terrorist activities, such as to make it, in the judgment of the Selling Agent, inadvisable or impracticable to market the Units or enforce contracts for the sale of the Units; (c) trading in the Units or any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited; (d) trading generally on the Nasdaq Capital Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, FINRA, or any other governmental or regulatory authority; (e) a banking moratorium has been declared by any state or Federal authority; (f) in the judgment of the Selling Agent, there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Final Offering Circular, any material adverse change in the assets, properties, condition, financial or otherwise, or in the results of operations, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business or (g) there has occurred a material breach of this Agreement by the Company, which breach cannot be cured or is not cured within ten (10) days following written notice to the Company from Selling Agent of such breach.

Holders of Shares shall be entitled to receive dividends, when, as and if declared by the Board or a duly authorized committee thereof, in its sole discretion, out of funds legally available for that purpose. Any dividends that may be declared with respect to the Shares shall be non-cumulative.

4.            LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE.

(a)            Subject to the rights of the holders of Senior Shares and Parity Shares, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Shares as to the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, each holder of the Shares shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to $1.50 per Share plus an amount equal to any declared but unpaid dividends thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the Shares shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Shares as to the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Shares and any such other Parity Shares ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such Shares and any such other Parity Shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.

(b)            Written notice of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, or electronically, not less than ten (10) days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of Shares at the respective address or email address of such holders as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation.

(c)            Subject to the rights of the holders of Senior Shares and Parity Shares upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of the Shares, as provided in this Section 4, any other series or class or classes of Junior Shares shall, subject to the respective terms and provisions (if any) applying thereto, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed to the holders of the Corporation’s capital stock, and the holders of the Shares shall not be entitled to share therein.

5.            CORPORATION CALL AND HOLDER PUT OPTIONS.

(a)            Optional Redemption at Election of Corporation.

(i)            The Corporation shall have the right (but not the obligation) to redeem the Shares, in whole or in part at any time after the fifth anniversary of the Original Issue Date and continuing indefinitely thereafter, at the option of the Corporation, for cash, at a price per Share equal to the lesser of (i) the Original Issue Price of such Share plus a non-compounded rate of return calculated at 8% per annum from the date of issuance of such Share, and (ii) 200% of the Original Issue Price of such Share (the “Redemption Price”). To exercise this redemption right, the Corporation shall deliver written notice to each holder of record of Shares that all or part of the Shares will be redeemed (the “Corporation Redemption Notice”) on a date that is no earlier than twenty (20) and no later than sixty (60) days after the date of the Corporation Redemption Notice (such date, the “Call Date”). If fewer than all of the outstanding Shares are to be redeemed pursuant to the Corporation’s exercise of its redemption right under this Section 5(a), the Shares to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as practicable without creating fractional shares) or by lot or in such other equitable method prescribed by the Corporation.

(ii)           On a Call Date and in accordance with this Section 5(a), the Corporation will, at its option (to the extent it may then lawfully do so under Delaware law, and for so long as (A) a redemption is permitted under the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation (including all related certificates of designation), and (B) such redemption does not constitute a default under any Borrowing Agreements), redeem the Shares specified in the Corporation Redemption Notice by paying in cash, via wire transfer of immediately available funds to the respective accounts designated in writing by the applicable holders, an amount per Share equal to the Redemption Price.

(iii)          On or before the Call Date, each holder whose Shares are being redeemed under this Section 5(a) shall, if required by the Corporation, deliver to the Corporation a stock power, duly executed (in the form provided by the Corporation together with the Corporation Redemption Notice).

(b)           Optional Redemption at Election of Holder.

(i)            Once per calendar quarter beginning any time after the fifth-year anniversary of the Original Issue Date, a holder of record of Shares may elect to cause the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of their Shares for an amount equal to the Redemption Price, which amount may be settled by delivery of cash or Common Shares, at the option of the holder. If the holder elects settlement in Common Shares, the Corporation will deliver such number of Common Shares per Share equal to the Redemption Price divided by the Original Issue Price, with any fraction rounded up to the next whole Common Share. A holder making such election shall provide written notice thereof to the Corporation specifying the name and address of the holder, the number of Shares to be redeemed and whether settlement shall be in cash or Common Shares. The Board may, however, suspend cash redemptions at any time in its discretion if it determines that it would not be in the best interests of the Corporation to effectuate cash redemptions at a given time because the Corporation does not have sufficient cash, including because the Board believes that cash on hand should be utilized for other business purposes. Redemptions will be limited to five percent (5%) of the total outstanding Shares per quarter and any redemptions in excess of such limit or to the extent suspended, shall be redeemed in subsequent quarters on a first come, first served, basis. The Corporation shall redeem the specified Shares for Common Shares no later than twenty (20) days, or for cash no later than 365 days, following receipt of such notice. The Corporation may require the surrender and endorsement of any physical share certificates representing the redeemed Shares upon payment of the redemption price.

(ii)           Upon receipt of a written notice from a holder of record of Shares requesting that the Corporation redeem such holder’s Share(s) for cash (the “Holder Redemption Notice”), the Corporation may choose to (but shall not be obligated to) redeem the applicable Shares for cash. Within sixty (60) days after the Corporation’s receipt of the Holder Redemption Notice, the Corporation shall provide written notice to such requesting holder specifying whether all or a portion of the Shares sought to be redeemed pursuant to the Holder Redemption Notice will be purchased by the Corporation (which the Corporation shall determine in its discretion) (the “Corporation Redemption Response”). If all or any portion of such Shares is to be repurchased by the Corporation, then the Corporation Redemption Response shall specify the date on which such repurchase and redemption shall occur (the "Redemption Date”), which date shall be no more than 365 days after the giving of the Holder Redemption Notice, and the Corporation Redemption Response shall include the form of stock power, if required.

(iii)          On any Redemption Date and in accordance with this Section 5(b), the Corporation will to the extent that it has sufficient funds to consummate a redemption, as determined by the Corporation in its discretion, and to the extent that it may then lawfully do so under Delaware law and such payment is further permitted under the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation (including all related certificates of designation), and any borrowing agreements to which it or its subsidiaries are bound (the “Borrowing Agreements”), in connection with the delivery by such holder of the applicable items required herein, redeem the Shares specified in the Corporation Redemption Response by paying in cash, by check or via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the holder, an amount per Share equal to the Redemption Price.

(iv)          From and after the Redemption Date, (A) the Shares identified in the Corporation Redemption Response shall be cancelled on the books and records of the Corporation, and (B) all rights of the holder of the shares to be redeemed shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive the Redemption Price (which right shall be contingent upon the holder delivering the stock power, if any, required by the Corporation); provided, however, that if as of the close of business on the Redemption Date the Corporation has not paid the Redemption Price with respect to such holder (other than any case in which the Redemption Price has not been paid due to a failure by the holder to deliver the stock power required herein), then the Shares to be redeemed shall remain issued and outstanding, and all rights of such holder with respect to such Shares shall continue.

(v)           If, on any Redemption Date, the Corporation (A) is unable, by virtue of applicable law or provisions in its certificate of incorporation (including all related certificates of designation), to redeem Shares, or (B) cannot redeem Shares without constituting a default under any Borrowing Agreements, then such redemption obligation shall be discharged promptly after the Corporation becomes able to discharge such redemption obligation under applicable law and without causing or constituting a default under Borrowing Agreements, with all such deferred redemption obligations being satisfied based on the order in which any Holder Redemption Notices shall have been received by the Corporation (i.e., first come, first served).

(vi)          Until the Corporation obtains approval to waive this Section 5(b)(vi) by the requisite number of its stockholders at a duly called special or annual meeting of stockholders, the Corporation shall not deliver Common Shares in settlement of a holder’s redemption right under Section 5(b)(i) hereof, and a holder of Shares shall not have the right to elect delivery of Common Shares under Section 5(b)(i), to the extent that (A) the aggregate Common Shares issued by the Corporation to all holders pursuant to Section 5(b)(i) plus (B) the aggregate Common Shares issued or issuable by the Corporation pursuant to the exercise of warrants issued by the Corporation in connection with the Shares, would exceed 19.99% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding on the date of this Certificate, subject to pro rata adjustment in connection with any stock splits, stock dividends, or similar changes to the Corporation’s capitalization occurring after the date of this Certificate.

(c)            Corporation Redemption Procedures. The Corporation Redemption Notice shall be mailed by first class mail or electronic mail to each holder of record of Shares to be redeemed at the address or email address of each such holder as shown on the Corporation’s records. Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this paragraph (c), nor any defect therein or in the mailing or emailing thereof, to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. Any notice mailed or emailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed or emailed whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such mailed or emailed notice shall state, as appropriate: (1) the Call Date; (2) the number of Shares to be redeemed and, if fewer than all the Shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such Shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the Redemption Price per Share (determined as set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 5), (4) if any Shares are represented by certificates, the place or places at which certificates for such Shares are to be surrendered; and (5) any other information required by law or by the applicable rules of any exchange or national securities market upon which the Shares may be listed or admitted for trading. Notice having been mailed or emailed as aforesaid, from and after the Call Date (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available an amount of cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) said Shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (ii) all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Shares shall cease (except the right to receive cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of their certificates if so required and to receive any dividends payable thereon).

(d)            Set Asides. The Corporation’s obligation to provide cash in accordance with the preceding subsection shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the Call Date, the Corporation shall irrevocably deposit funds necessary for such redemption, in trust, with a bank or trust company that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, capital and surplus of at least $50 million, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption of the Shares so called for redemption, in which case the notice to holders of the Shares will (i) state the date of such deposit, (ii) specify the office of such bank or trust company as the place of payment of the redemption price and (iii) require such holders to surrender the certificates, if any, representing such Shares at such place on or about the date fixed in such redemption notice (which may not be later than the Call Date) against payment of the redemption price. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holders of Shares to be redeemed on any cash so set aside by the Corporation. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any such cash unclaimed at the end of six months from the Call Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation after which reversion the holders of such Shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of such cash.

6.            CONVERSION. The holders of the Shares shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

(a)            Right to Convert. Each Share shall be convertible into Common Shares at a price per share of $0.75 (e.g., one Share having an Original Issue Price of $1.50 converts into two shares of Common Stock) (the “Conversion Price”), at the option of the holder thereof, at any time following the issuance date of such Share and on or prior to the fifth (5^th) day prior to an applicable redemption date, if any, as may have been fixed in any redemption notice with respect to the Shares, at the office of this Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted for forward stock splits (although not for reverse stock splits), stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar events in respect of the Common Shares.

(b)            Forced Conversion. If (i) the Closing Sale Price of Common Shares during the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending and including the applicable Forced Conversion Notice Date (as defined below) has been at or above $1.50 per share, (ii) there is a Change in Control, or (iii) the Corporation consummates a firm commitment public offering of Common Shares for gross proceeds of at least $15,000,000 at an offering price per share equal to or greater than $1.50, then the Corporation shall have the right to require the holder to convert all, or any portion of, the Shares held by such holder for Common Shares in accordance with this Section 6(b) (the “Forced Conversion”) on the Forced Conversion Date (as defined below). The Corporation may exercise its right to require a Forced Conversion by delivering a written notice thereof by email, facsimile, mail or overnight courier to the holders of record of Shares (the “Forced Conversion Notice”, and the date of such notice is referred to as the “Forced Conversion Notice Date”).  The Forced Conversion Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Forced Conversion shall occur (the “Forced Conversion Date”) which date shall not be less than five (5) calendar days nor more than twenty (20) calendar days following the Forced Conversion Notice Date; provided, however, that in the event of a Forced Conversion in respect of a Change in Control, at the Corporation’s election, the Forced Conversion Date may be deemed to be effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, and (y) state the aggregate number of Shares which are being converted in such Forced Conversion from the holder and all of the other holders of the Shares pursuant to this Section 6(b) on the Forced Conversion Date. If the Corporation has elected a Forced Conversion, the mechanics of conversion set forth in Section 6(c) shall apply. If the Corporation elects to cause a Forced Conversion of Shares pursuant to this Section 6(b) then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to all of the other Shares then outstanding on a pro rata basis.

(c)            Mechanics of Conversion. In connection with the conversion of any holder’s Shares into Common Shares, if such holder’s Shares are certificated, if required by the Corporation the holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such Shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the principal office of the Corporation or of its transfer agent, and shall give written notice to the Corporation or, if directed by the Corporation, its transfer agent specifying such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. Unless a different time and date is otherwise specified by the Corporation or otherwise set forth in this Certificate, the close of business on the date of receipt by the Corporation or its transfer agent, as applicable, of such notice and, if applicable, certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) shall be the time of conversion, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the specified Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date.

(d)            No Impairment. This Corporation will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, 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 to be observed or performed hereunder by this Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this section and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Shares against impairment.

(e)            Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Shares, such number of its Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Shares; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Common Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Shares, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Shares, this Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Common Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation.

(f)            Notice. Any notice required by the provisions of this section to be given to the holders of Shares shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, or emailed and addressed to each holder of record at his, her or its address or email address appearing on the books of this Corporation.

7.            STATUS OF ACQUIRED SHARES. All Shares issued, redeemed by the Corporation or converted by the holder in accordance with Sections 5 or 6 hereof, or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of undesignated Preferred Stock of the Corporation.

8.            RANKING.

(a)

Any class or series of shares of stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank:

(i)            prior to the Shares, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Shares (“Senior Shares”);

(ii)            on a parity with the Shares, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Shares, if the holders of such class or series and the Shares shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority one over the other (“Parity Shares”); and

(iii)            Junior to the Shares, as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if such class or series shall be the Common Shares or any other class or series of shares of stock of the Corporation now or hereafter issued and outstanding over which the Shares have preference or priority in the payment of dividends and in the distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (“Junior Shares”).

(b)

The Corporation’s Common Shares shall be considered Junior Shares relative to the Shares.

9.            VOTING RIGHTS.

(a)            So long as any Shares are outstanding, the affirmative vote of the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Shares then outstanding, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating:

(i)            Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provisions of the certificate of incorporation or this Certificate that materially and adversely affects the rights, preferences or voting power of the Shares; provided, however, that (a) the amendment of the certificate of incorporation to authorize or create Parity Shares or Junior Shares, or (b) to increase or decrease the authorized amount of, Shares, Senior Shares, Parity Shares or Junior Shares, shall not be deemed to materially or adversely affect the rights, preferences or voting power of the Shares; or

(ii)            A statutory share exchange, consolidation with or merger of the Corporation with or into another entity or consolidation of the Corporation with or merger of another entity into the Corporation, that in each case materially and adversely affects the rights, preferences or voting power of the Shares, unless in such case each Share shall be converted into or exchanged for an amount of cash equal to or greater than the applicable redemption price called for under Section 5 hereof at the time of such conversion or exchange or preferred shares of the surviving entity having preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption thereof that are materially the same as those of a Share.

(iii)            Provided, however, that no such vote of the holders of Shares under this Section 9 shall be required if, at or prior to the time when any of the above actions is to take effect, a deposit is made for the redemption in cash of all Shares at the time outstanding, as provided in paragraph (d) of Section 5 hereof, for a redemption price called for under Section 5 at the time of such redemption.

(b)            For purposes of paragraph (a) of this Section 9, each Share shall have one vote per share. Except as required by applicable provisions of Delaware law, the Shares shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers other than as set forth herein, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. No amendment to these terms of the Shares shall require the vote of the holders of Common Shares (except as required by law).

10.          RECORD HOLDERS. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent shall deem and treat the record holder of any Shares as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

11.          SINKING FUND. The Shares shall not be entitled to the benefits of any retirement or sinking fund.

12.          UNCERTIFICATED BOOK-ENTRY SECURITIES. At the option of the Corporation, the Shares may be issued as book-entry securities directly registered in the stockholder’s name on the Corporation’s or Transfer Agent’s books and records. If entered as book-entry, the Shares need not be represented by certificates, but instead would be uncertificated securities of the Corporation.

13.          OTHER RIGHTS. Except as otherwise stated herein, there are no other rights, privileges, or preferences attendant or relating in any way to the Shares, including by way of illustration but not limitation, those concerning participation, or anti-dilution rights or preferences.

In WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned hereby declares and certifies that this Certificate of Designation is executed on behalf of the Corporation as of this ___ day of ________________, 2024.

Exhibit 3.2

NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES FOR WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE PURCHASER TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.

ENERGOUS CORPORATION

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

Warrant No.: ___

Issuance Date: _______

Energous Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [*], the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “Warrant”), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, but not after 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (the “Expiration Time”), up to [*] fully paid non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “Warrant Shares”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 15.

1.            EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

(a)          Mechanics of Exercise.     Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date until the Expiration Time, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) provided the conditions for cashless exercise set forth in Section 1(d) are satisfied, by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). 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 with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares 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. On or before the first (1st) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) (collectively, the “Exercise Delivery Documents”), the Company shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail an acknowledgment of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Holder and Computershare, Inc. (the Company’s “Transfer Agent”). On or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) (collectively, the “Exercise Delivery Documents”) = (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall cause the Warrant Shares to be issued in the name of and deliver to the Holder (i) written confirmation that the Warrant Shares have been issued in the name of the Holder, and (ii) at the election of the Company, a new warrant of like tenor to purchase all of the Warrant Shares that may be purchased pursuant to the portion, if any, of this Warrant not exercised by the Holder. If the Company is then a participant in the Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system of the Depository Trust Company or its nominee (the “DTC”) and either (A) there is an effective registration statement, or qualified offering statement, permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) the Warrant is being exercised via Cashless Exercise, then the certificates (or book-entries) for Warrant Shares shall be transmitted by the transfer agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s broker with the DTC through its DWAC system. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 1(a), a Holder whose interest in this Warrant is a beneficial interest in certificate(s) representing this Warrant held in book-entry form through the DTC (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions), shall effect exercises made pursuant to this Section 1(a) by delivering to the DTC (or such other clearing corporation, as applicable) the appropriate instruction form for exercise, complying with the procedures to effect exercise that are required by the DTC (or such other clearing corporation, as applicable), subject to a Holder’s right to elect to receive a Warrant in certificated form in which case this sentence shall not apply.

(b)          Exercise Price.      For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $[*] per one share of Common Stock subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c)          Legend. The Holder acknowledges that each certificate or book-entry evidencing the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws. Each such certificate or book-entry shall be stamped or imprinted or accompanied with a legend substantially in the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE PURCHASER TO SUCH EFFECT, WHICH OPINION SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.

(d)          Cashless Exercise.      If at the time of exercise of this Warrant there is no qualified offering statement (or effective registration statement) relating to the Warrant Shares, the offering circular (or prospectus, as applicable) contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares or the Company is not current in its public company reporting obligations, the Holder may elect to receive the number of Warrant Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised), by surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the exercise form attached hereto, in which event the Company will issue to the Holder Warrant Shares in accordance with the following formula:

X	=	Y(A-B)
		A

Where,
	X	=	The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder;
	Y	=	The number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is being exercised;
	A	=	The fair market value of one share of Common Stock; and
	B	=	The exercise price of the Warrant being exercised.

For purposes of this Section 1(d), the fair market value means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the shares of Common Stock are then listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, the OTCQB or the OTCQX, the value shall be deemed to be (i) the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the applicable exercise notice if such exercise notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a day that is not a trading day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a trading day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(68) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such trading day, or (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable exercise notice if the date of such exercise notice is a trading day and such exercise notice is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof during or after the close of “regular trading hours” on such trading day; (b) if the shares of Common Stock are not then listed or quoted for trading on a national securities exchange, the OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the shares of Common Stock are then reported on the “Pink Tier” of OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices) (the “OTC Markets Group”), the value shall be deemed to be the highest intra-day or closing price on any trading day on the Pink Tier on which the shares of Common Stock are then quoted as reported by OTC Markets Group (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)) during the five trading days preceding the exercise; or (c) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in the exercise of its good faith judgment.

For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date hereof, assuming the Holder is not an affiliate of the Company, it is intended that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise 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 Issuance Date.

(e)            Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Person (together with such Person’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (including in connection with any Fundamental Transaction (as defined below)). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), 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. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 1(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and of which a portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of a Holder, and the submission of an Exercise Notice shall be deemed to be each Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall within three (3) Business Days confirm to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

2.            ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(a)            If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date effects one or more forward stock splits, stock dividends or other increases of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding without receiving compensation therefor in money, services or property, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Warrants shall be proportionately increased, and the exercise price payable per share of Common Stock subject to the Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date effects one or more reverse stock splits or combines or consolidates, by reclassification or otherwise, the Company’s Common Stock outstanding into a lesser number of shares, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Warrants shall be proportionately decreased; however, the exercise price payable per share of Common Stock subject to the Warrant shall remain unchanged. We may, in our sole discretion, lower the exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to the warrant at any time prior to the Expiration Date for a period of not less than 30 days.

(b)            In the event of a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Company’s Common Stock, the Warrants will be adjusted so that thereafter each Holder will be entitled to receive upon exercise the same number and kind of securities that such Holder would have received if the Warrant had been exercised before the capital reorganization or reclassification of our Common Stock.

(c)            If the Company merges or consolidates with another corporation, or if the Company sells its assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation, the Company will make provisions so that Holders will be entitled to receive upon exercise of a Warrant the kind and number of securities, cash or other property that would have been received as a result of the transaction by a person who was our stockholder immediately before the transaction and who owned the same number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant was exercisable immediately before the transaction. No adjustment to the Warrants will be made, however, if a merger or consolidation does not result in any reclassification or change in the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.

3.            RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.      If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to all holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

(a)  any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator shall be the Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and

(b)  the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph (a); provided that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of Common Stock (or common stock) (“Other Shares of Common Stock”) of a company whose shares of common stock are traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding paragraph (a) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this paragraph (b).

4.            PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire upon exercise of this Warrant, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights per share of Common Stock which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

(b) Fundamental Transactions. In the event of a Fundamental Transaction, if the fair market value of one Warrant Share as determined in accordance with Section 1(d) above would be greater than the Exercise Price in effect as of immediately prior to the closing of such Fundamental Transaction, and the Holder has not previously exercised this Warrant in full, then, in lieu of Holder’s exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, this Warrant shall, as of immediately prior to such closing (but subject to the occurrence thereof) automatically cease to represent the right to purchase Warrant Shares and shall, from and after such closing, represent solely the right to receive the aggregate consideration that would have been payable in such Fundamental Transaction on and in respect of all Warrant Shares for which this Warrant was exercisable as of immediately prior to the closing thereof, net of the Aggregate Exercise Price therefor, as if such Warrant Shares had been issued and outstanding to the Holder as of immediately prior to such closing, as and when such consideration is paid to the holders of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In the event of a Fundamental Transaction in which the fair market value of one Warrant Share as determined in accordance with Section 1(d) above would be equal to or less than the Exercise Price in effect as of immediately prior to the closing of such Fundamental Transaction, then this Warrant will automatically and without further action of any party terminate as of immediately prior to such closing.

5.            NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all commercially reasonable action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be commercially reasonable or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as this Warrant is outstanding, take all commercially reasonable action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

6.            WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, 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, 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.

7.            REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.

(a)            Transfer of Warrant. If this Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company together with a written assignment of this Warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney, whereupon the Company will forthwith, subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.

(c) Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, that no Warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be given.

(d) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.

(e)            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.

8.            NOTICES.      The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Warrant, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor.

2.1       Exercise Form. In order to exercise this Purchase Warrant, the exercise form attached hereto must be duly executed and completed and delivered to the Company, together with this Purchase Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price for the Units being purchased payable in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company or by certified check or official bank check.

Each exercise hereof shall be irrevocable.

2.2       Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise of this Purchase Warrant there is no qualified offering statement (or effective registration statement) relating to the Units, the offering circular (or prospectus, as applicable) contained therein is not available for the issuance of the securities underlying the Units or the Company is not current in its public company reporting obligations, Holder may elect to receive the number of Shares of Preferred Stock (along with the accompanying three Unit Warrants for each share of Preferred Stock) equal to the value of this Purchase Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised), by surrender of this Purchase Warrant to the Company, together with the exercise form attached hereto, in which event the Company will issue to Holder Shares of Preferred Stock and Unit Warrants in accordance with the following formula:

X	=	Y(A-B)
		A

Where,
	X	=	The number of shares of Preferred Stock (plus three Unit Warrants per share) to be issued to Holder;
	Y	=	The number of shares of Preferred Stock (plus Unit Warrants) for which the Purchase Warrant is being exercised;
	A	=	The fair market value of one share of Preferred Stock on an as converted to Common Stock basis; and
	B	=	The Exercise Price.

For purposes of this Section 2.2, the fair market value means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the shares of Common Stock are then listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, the OTCQB or the OTCQX, the value shall be deemed to be (i) the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the applicable exercise notice if such exercise notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof on a day that is not a trading day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof on a trading day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(68) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such trading day, or (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable exercise notice if the date of such exercise notice is a trading day and such exercise notice is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof during or after the close of “regular trading hours” on such trading day, (b) if the shares of Common Stock are not then listed or quoted for trading on a national securities exchange, the OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the shares of Common Stock are then reported on the “Pink Tier” of OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices) (the “OTC Markets Group”), the value shall be deemed to be the highest intra-day or closing price on any trading day on the Pink Tier on which the shares of Common Stock are then quoted as reported by OTC Markets Group (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)) during the five trading days preceding the exercise, or (c) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in the exercise of its good faith judgment.

2.3       Legend. Each certificate for the securities purchased under this Purchase Warrant shall bear a legend as follows unless such securities have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”):

“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or applicable state law. Neither the securities nor any interest therein may be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective registration or offering statement under the Act, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act and applicable state law which, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, is available.”

2.4       Resale of Units. Holder and the Company acknowledge that as of the date hereof the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC has published Compliance & Disclosure Interpretation 528.04 in the Securities Act Rules section thereof, stating that the holder of securities issued in connection with a public offering may not rely upon Rule 144 promulgated under the Act to establish an exemption from registration requirements under Section 4(a)(1) under the Act, but may nonetheless apply Rule 144 constructively for the resale of such shares in the following manner: (a) provided that six months has elapsed since the last sale under the registration or offering statement, an underwriter or finder may resell the securities in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144(c), (e), and (f), except for the notice requirement; (b) a purchaser of the shares from an underwriter receives restricted securities unless the sale is made with an appropriate, current prospectus, or unless the sale is made pursuant to the conditions contained in (a) above; (c) a purchaser of the shares from an underwriter who receives restricted securities may include the underwriter’s holding period, provided that the underwriter or finder is not an affiliate of the issuer; and (d) if an underwriter transfers the shares to its employees, the employees may tack the firm’s holding period for purposes of Rule 144(d), but they must aggregate sales of the distributed shares with those of other employees, as well as those of the underwriter or finder, for a six-month period from the date of the transfer to the employees. Holder and the Company also acknowledge that the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC has advised in various no-action letters that the holding period associated with securities issued without registration to a service provider commences upon the completion of the services, which the Company agrees and acknowledges shall be the final closing of the Offering, and that Rule 144(d)(3)(ii) provides that securities acquired from the issuer solely in exchange for other securities of the same issuer shall be deemed to have been acquired at the same time as the securities surrendered for conversion (which the Company agrees is the date of the initial issuance of this Purchase Warrant). In the event that following a reasonably-timed written request by Holder to transfer the Units in accordance with Compliance & Disclosure Interpretation 528.04 counsel for the Company in good faith concludes that Compliance & Disclosure Interpretation 528.04 no longer may be relied upon as a result of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance, or as a result of judicial interpretations not known by the Company or its counsel on the date hereof, then the Company shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) business days following the request, provide written notice to Holder of such determination. As a condition to giving such notice, the parties shall negotiate in good faith a single demand registration right pursuant to an agreement in customary form reasonably acceptable to the parties; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 2 shall terminate on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date. In the absence of such conclusion by counsel for the Company, the Company shall, upon such a request of Holder given no earlier than six months after the final closing of the Offering, instruct its transfer agent to permit the transfer of such shares in accordance with Compliance & Disclosure Interpretation 528.04, provided that Holder has provided such documentation as shall be reasonably be requested by the Company to establish compliance with the conditions of Compliance & Disclosure Interpretation 528.04. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(B)-(D), Holder shall not be entitled to more than one demand registration right hereunder and the duration of the registration rights hereunder shall not exceed five years from the Effective Date.

3.       Transfer.

3.1       General Restrictions. The registered Holder of this Purchase Warrant agrees by his, her or its acceptance hereof, that such Holder will not for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the Effective Date: (a) sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate this Purchase Warrant, or any of the securities comprising or underlying this Purchase Warrant, to anyone other than: (i) Digital Offering or an underwriter, placement agent, or a selected dealer participating in the Offering, or (ii) a bona fide officer, partner or registered representative of Digital Offering or of any such underwriter, placement agent or selected dealer, in each case in accordance with FINRA Corporate Financing Rule 5110(e)(1), or (b) cause this Purchase Warrant or any of the securities comprising or underlying this Purchase Warrant to be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of this Purchase Warrant or the securities hereunder, except as provided for in FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2). After 180 days after the Effective Date, transfers to others may be made subject to compliance with or exemptions from applicable securities laws. In order to make any permitted assignment, Holder must deliver to the Company the assignment form attached hereto duly executed and completed, together with the Purchase Warrant and payment of all transfer taxes, if any, payable in connection therewith. The Company shall within five (5) Business Days transfer this Purchase Warrant on the books of the Company and shall execute and deliver a new Purchase Warrant or Purchase Warrants of like tenor to the appropriate assignee(s) expressly evidencing the right to purchase the aggregate number of Units purchasable hereunder or such portion of such number as shall be contemplated by any such assignment.

3.2       Restrictions Imposed by the Act. The securities evidenced by this Purchase Warrant shall not be transferred unless and until: (i) if required by applicable law, the Company has received the opinion of counsel for the Company that the securities may be transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act and applicable state securities laws, or (ii) a offering statement or a post-qualification amendment to the offering Statement relating to the offer and sale of such securities has been filed by the Company and declared qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the ”Commission”) and compliance with applicable state securities law has been established.

4.       Piggyback Offering Rights.

4.1       Grant of Right. In the event that there is not a qualified offering statement covering the Purchase Warrant or the underlying Preferred Stock or Common Stock, whenever the Company proposes to register or qualify any of its shares of Common Stock under the Act after the date hereof (other than (i) a registration effected solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a transaction to which Rule 145 of the Act is applicable, or (ii) a registration or offering statement on Form S-4, S-8 or any successor form thereto or another form not available for registering the Units issuable upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant for sale to the public, or (iii) Offering Statement (No. 024-12518), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more shareholders of the Company (a “Piggyback Offering”), the Company shall give prompt written notice (in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the filing of such registration or offering statement ) to Holder of the Company’s intention to effect such a registration or qualification and, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 4.1, shall include in such registration or qualification such number of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, underlying this Purchase Warrant (the “Registrable Securities”) that Holder and any other holder of this duly transferred Purchase Warrant pursuant to Section 3 or other holders of interests in or represented by this Purchase Warrant as otherwise permitted by this Purchase Warrant (collectively, the “Holders”) have (within ten (10) Business Days of the respective Holder’s receipt of such notice) requested in writing (including such number) to be included within such registration or qualification. If a Piggyback Offering is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company that it has determined in good faith that marketing factors require a limit on the number of shares of Common Stock to be included in such registration, including all Units issuable upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant (if Holder has elected to include such shares in such Piggyback Offering) and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, the Company shall include in such registration or qualification (i) first, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to issue and sell pursuant to such underwritten offering and (ii) second, the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, requested to be included therein by selling shareholders (including Holder) allocated pro rata among all such persons on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock then owned by each such person. If any Piggyback Offering is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company, the Company shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) the date that Rule 144 would allow Holder to sell its Registrable Securities (assuming a cashless exercise of this Purchase Warrant) during any ninety (90) day period, and shall not be applicable so long as the Company’s Offering Statement on Form 1-A covering the Registrable Securities remains qualified at such time. The duration of the Piggyback Offering right shall not exceed seven years from the commencement of sales of the public offering.

4.2       Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Holder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to any registration or offering statement hereunder and each person, if any, who controls such Holders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration or offering statement but only to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify Digital Offering contained in the Lead Selling Agent Agreement between Digital Offering and the Company, dated as of __________ __, 2024. Holder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such registration or offering statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from information furnished by or on behalf of such Holders, or their successors or assigns, in writing, for specific inclusion in such registration or offering statement to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions contained in the Lead Selling Agent Agreement pursuant to which Digital Offering has agreed to indemnify the Company.

4.3       Exercise of Purchase Warrants. Nothing contained in this Purchase Warrant shall be construed as requiring Holder(s) to exercise their Purchase Warrants prior to or after the initial filing of any registration or offering statement or the effectiveness or qualification thereof.

4.4       Documents Delivered to Holders. The Company shall deliver promptly to Digitial Offering, if it is participating in the offering, upon its reasonable request, copies of all correspondence between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff with respect to the registration or offering statement and permit Digital Offering to do such investigation, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information contained in or omitted from the registration or offering statement as it deems reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities laws or rules of FINRA. Such investigation shall include access to books, records and properties and opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at such reasonable times, during normal business hours, as Digital Offering shall reasonably request.

4.5       Underwriting Agreement. The Holders shall be parties to any Underwriting Agreement relating to a Piggyback Offering. Such Holders shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters except as they may relate to such Holders, their Units and the amount and nature of their ownership thereof and their intended methods of distribution.

4.6       Documents to be Delivered by Holder(s). Each of the Holder(s) participating in any of the foregoing offerings shall furnish to the Company a completed and executed questionnaire provided by the Company requesting information customarily sought of selling security holders.

4.7       Damages. Should the Company fail to comply with such provisions, the Holder(s) shall, in addition to any other legal or other relief available to the Holder(s), be entitled to obtain specific performance or other equitable (including injunctive) relief against the threatened breach of such provisions or the continuation of any such breach, without the necessity of proving actual damages and without the necessity of posting bond or other security.

5.       New Purchase Warrants to be Issued.

5.1       Partial Exercise or Transfer. Subject to the restrictions in Section 3 hereof, this Purchase Warrant may be exercised or assigned in whole or in part. In the event of the exercise or assignment hereof in part only, upon surrender of this Purchase Warrant for cancellation, together with the duly executed exercise or assignment form and funds sufficient to pay any Exercise Price and/or transfer tax if exercised pursuant to Section 2.1 hereto, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder without charge a new Purchase Warrant of like tenor to this Purchase Warrant in the name of the Holder evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the number of Units purchasable hereunder as to which this Purchase Warrant has not been exercised or assigned.

5.2       Lost Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Purchase Warrant and of reasonably satisfactory indemnification or the posting of a bond, determined in the sole discretion of the Company, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Purchase Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Purchase Warrant executed and delivered as a result of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation on the part of the Company.

6.       Adjustments.

6.1       Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities. The Exercise Price and the number of Units underlying the Purchase Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:

6.1.1       Share Dividends; Split Ups. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 below, the number of outstanding Units is increased by a dividend payable in Units or by a split up of Units or other similar event, then, on the effective day thereof, the number of Units purchasable hereunder shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding Units, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased.

6.1.2       Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Units other than a change covered by Section 6.1.1 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such Units, or in the case of any share reconstruction or amalgamation or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Units), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Holder of this Purchase Warrant shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of the right of exercise of this Purchase Warrant) to receive upon the exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, share reconstruction or amalgamation, or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, by a Holder of the number of Units of the Company obtainable upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in Units covered by Section 6.1.1, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 6.1.1 and this Section 6.1.2. The provisions of this Section 6.1.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, share reconstructions or amalgamations, or consolidations, sales or other transfers.

6.1.3        Changes in Form of Purchase Warrant. This form of Purchase Warrant need not be changed because of any change pursuant to this Section 6.1, and Purchase Warrants issued after such change may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of Units as are stated in the Purchase Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. The acceptance by any Holder of the issuance of new Purchase Warrants reflecting a required or permissive change shall not be deemed to waive any rights to an adjustment occurring after the Issue Date or the computation thereof.

6.2       Substitute Purchase Warrant. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or share reconstruction or amalgamation or merger of the Company with or into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Units), the corporation formed by such consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation shall execute and deliver to the Holder a supplemental Purchase Warrant providing that the holder of each Purchase Warrant then outstanding or to be outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the stated expiration of such Purchase Warrant) to receive, upon exercise of such Purchase Warrant, the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation, by a holder of the number of Units of the Company for which such Purchase Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, share reconstruction or amalgamation or merger, sale or transfer. Such supplemental Purchase Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6. The above provision of this Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or share reconstructions or amalgamations or mergers.

6.3       Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of Units upon the exercise of the Purchase Warrant, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of any fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole number of Units or other securities, properties or rights.

7.       Reservation. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the Purchase Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, in accordance with the terms hereby, all Units and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any shareholder. In the event that the Company determines that it does not have a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon the exercise of this Purchase Warrant, the Company shall take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock so that the Purchase Warrant can be exercised in full.

8.       Certain Notice Requirements.

8.1       Holder’s Right to Receive Notice. Nothing herein shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders the right to vote or consent or to receive notice as a shareholder for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of the Purchase Warrants and their exercise, any of the events described in Section 8.2 shall occur, then, in one or more of said events, the Company shall deliver to each Holder a copy of each notice relating to such events given to the other shareholders of the Company at the same time and in the same manner that such notice is given to the shareholders.

8.2       Events Requiring Notice. The Company shall be required to give the notice described in this Section 8 upon one or more of the following events: (i) if the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Units for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise than out of retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of the Company, or (ii) the Company shall offer to all the holders of its Units any additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right or warrant to subscribe therefor.

8.3       Notice of Change in Exercise Price. The Company shall, promptly after an event requiring a change in the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 6 hereof, send notice to the Holders of such event and change (“Price Notice”). The Price Notice shall describe the event causing the change and the method of calculating same.

8.4       Transmittal of Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications under this Purchase Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when hand delivered, or mailed by express mail or private courier service: (i) if to the registered Holder of the Purchase Warrant, to the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company, or (ii) if to the Company, to following address or to such other address as the Company may designate by notice to the Holders:

9.2       Headings. The headings contained herein are for the sole purpose of convenience of reference and shall not in any way limit or affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the terms or provisions of this Purchase Warrant.

9.3       Entire Agreement.

9.4       Binding Effect. This Purchase Warrant shall inure solely to the benefit of and shall be binding upon, Holder and the Company and their permitted assignees, respective successors, legal representative and assigns, and no other person shall have or be construed to have any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of or by virtue of this Purchase Warrant or any provisions herein contained.

9.5      Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Trial by Jury. This Purchase Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflict of laws principles thereof. The Company hereby agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out of, or relating in any way to this Purchase Warrant shall be brought and enforced in the courts located in the County of Santa Clara, California, or in the United States District Court for the Northern California District, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive.

Any process or summons to be served upon the Company may be served by transmitting a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to it at the address set forth in Section 8 hereof. Such mailing shall be deemed personal service and shall be legal and binding upon the Company in any action, proceeding or claim.

The Company (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its shareholders and affiliates) and Holder hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

9.6       Waiver, etc. The failure of the Company or the Holder to at any time enforce any of the provisions of this Purchase Warrant shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor to in any way affect the validity of this Purchase Warrant or any provision hereof or the right of the Company or any Holder to thereafter enforce each and every provision of this Purchase Warrant.

To the Board of Directors:

We are acting as counsel to Energous Corporation (the “Company”) with respect to the preparation and filing of an offering statement on Form 1-A. The offering statement covers the contemplated sale of up to (a) 5,000,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one share of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and (ii) three warrants (the “Investor Warrants”), each to purchase 1 share of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.00001 (the “Common Stock”, and such shares issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrants are “Warrant Shares”), and (b) 150,000 warrants (the “Agent Warrants”) exercisable for one Unit (the “Agent Units”) consisting of one share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Agent Shares”) and three warrants (the “Agent Unit Warrants”) each exercisable for the purchase of one share of Common Stock (the “Agent Warrant Shares”). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into two shares of Common Stock. The offering statement also relates to the 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock included in the Units (the “Unit Shares”), the 15,000,000 Warrant Shares, the 300,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Agent Shares (the “Agent Unit Shares”) and the 450,000 Agent Warrant Shares.

In connection with the opinion contained herein, we have examined the offering statement, the second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the certificate of amendment to the second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the form of certificate of designations approved by the Company’s board of directors, the amended and restated bylaws, the minutes of meetings of the Company’s board of directors, a form of the Selling Agency Agreement (the “Selling Agency Agreement”) between the Company and Digital Offering, LLC, acting as the selling agent on behalf of the Company; forms of Subscription Agreement to be executed and delivered by the purchasers of the Units; a form of the Investor Warrant; and a form of the Agent Warrants, as well as all other documents necessary to render an opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies, the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates we have reviewed; and the legal capacity of all natural persons. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein that were not independently established or verified, we have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company. In making our examination of documents, we have assumed that each party to any such document has satisfied those requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make such document a valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms.

We are opining herein as to the effect on the subject transactions only of the laws of the State of Delaware, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction, including federal law.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that

	1.	The Series A Preferred Stock, and the Unit Shares into which such Series A Preferred Stock may convert, being sold pursuant to the offering statement are duly authorized and will be, when issued in the manner described in the offering statement, legally and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
	2.	The Investor Warrants being sold pursuant to the offering statement are duly authorized and will be, when issued in the manner described in the offering statement, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
	3.	The Warrant Shares are duly authorized and reserved for issuance and such Warrant Shares, when issued and delivered by the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investor Warrants against payment of the exercise price therefor and when issued in the manner described in the offering statement, will be legally and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
	4.	The Units being sold pursuant to the offering statement are duly authorized.
	5.	The Agent Warrants are duly authorized and will be, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Selling Agency Agreement, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
	6.	The Agent Shares, and the Agent Unit Shares into which such Agent Shares may convert, have been duly authorized and will be, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Selling Agency Agreement and when issued in the manner described in the offering statement, legally and validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
	7.	The Agent Unit Warrants are duly authorized and will be, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Selling Agency Agreement and when issued in the manner described in the offering statement, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
	8.	The Agent Warrant Shares are duly authorized and reserved for issuance and such Agent Warrant Shares, when issued and delivered by the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agent Unit Warrants against payment of the exercise price therefor and when issued in the manner described in the offering statement, will be legally and validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
	9.	The issuance of the Agent Units has been duly authorized.

Our opinion that any document is legal, valid and binding is qualified as to:

(a) limitations imposed by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally;

(b) rights to indemnification and contribution which may be limited by applicable law or equitable principles; and

(c) general principles of equity, including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief and limitation of rights of acceleration, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

No opinion is being rendered hereby with respect to the truth and accuracy, or completeness of the offering statement or any portion thereof.

We further consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the offering statement.

Yours truly,
