INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Share Purchase Agreement
On December 16, 2024, Zhibao Technology Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), entered into a Share Purchase
Agreement with GEM Global Yield LLC SCS (“GEM”) and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (“GYBL”) (the “Share Purchase
Agreement”) in connection with setting up certain share subscription facility (the “Share Subscription Facility”). Pursuant
to the Share Purchase Agreement, GEM has agreed to purchase up to $50,000,000 (the “Aggregate Limit”) of the Company’s
Class A ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) over a three-year period commencing on December 16, 2024 (the “Investment
Period”). Under the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company may, by delivering a Draw Down Notice (as defined in the Share Purchase
Agreement) direct GEM to purchase the Ordinary Shares in an amount up to 700% of the average daily trading volume for the thirty (30)
trading days immediately preceding the date the Draw Down Notice is delivered, and in connection with each Draw Down (as defined in the
Share Purchase Agreement), GEM shall have the option to purchase Ordinary Shares with a Draw Down Amount (as defined in the Share Purchase
Agreement) equal to between 50% and 150% of the Draw Down Amount requested. GEM is not obligated to purchase any Ordinary Shares which
would result in GEM beneficially owning, directly or indirectly, at the time of the proposed issuance, more than 9.99% of the Ordinary
Shares issued and outstanding. GEM will pay a purchase price per share equal to 90% of the average market closing price of the Ordinary
Shares during the thirty (30) consecutive trading days commencing with the first trading day on which a Draw Down Notice is delivered
(the “Draw Down Pricing Period”).
The Share Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties,
agreements and conditions to completing future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties.
Additionally, the Company issued a warrant with
a 36-month term to GYBL on December 16, 2024 (the “GEM Warrant”) granting GYBL the right to purchase 467,800 Ordinary Shares
at an initial exercise price of $3.95 per Ordinary Share, adjust to certain adjustments. Any failure by us to timely transfer the shares
under the warrant pursuant to GYBL’s exercise will entitle GYBL to compensation in addition to other remedies. The number of shares
underlying the warrant as well as the strike price is subject to adjustments for recapitalizations, reorganizations, change of control,
stock split, stock dividend and reverse stock splits.
Registration Rights Agreement
On December 16, 2024, the Company also entered into a Registration
Rights Agreement with GEM (the “Registration Rights Agreement”, together with the Share Purchase Agreement, the “GEM
Agreements”). Pursuant to the GEM Agreements, the Company is required to, as soon as practicable but no later than 30 calendar days
following December 16, 2024 (the “Filing Deadline”), file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of
the Ordinary Shares that GEM and GYBL are entitled to receive pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or the GEM Warrant as described
above, respectively, including any securities issued or issuable upon any share split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization
or similar event with respect to the foregoing, and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared
effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof but no later than the earlier of (i) the 45th calendar day following the filing
of the registration statement and (ii) the 5th business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is
earlier) by the SEC that such registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review.
Each of GEM and GYBL represented to the Company, among other things, that it was an “accredited investor” (as such term is
defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act), and the Company will rely upon an exemption from registration contained in Section
4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder when issuing Ordinary Shares of Common Stock under the
Share Purchase Agreement.
The foregoing descriptions of the Share Purchase
Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and GEM Warrant do not purport to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference
to the complete text of the Share Purchase Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and GEM Warrant, which are filed herewith as Exhibits
10.1, 10.2 and 4.1, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
Investor Waiver Agreement
As previously reported on Form 6-K filed with the
SEC on September 23, 2024, on September 23, 2024, the Company entered into entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities
Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Noteholder”), in connection with certain convertible promissory
note (the “Note”) that the Noteholder purchased from the Company. The Noteholder holds certain rights in participating in
certain subsequent equity sales of the Company, pursuant to the Sections 4.12 and 4.13 of Securities Purchase Agreement.
On December 16, 2024, the Company entered into a waiver agreement (the
“Waiver Agreement”) with the Noteholder in connection with the Share Subscription Facility. Pursuant to the Waiver Agreement,
in connection with the Share Subscription Facility, the Noteholder agreed to waive its rights arising under the Securities Purchase Agreement
and the Note in connection with the Share Subscription Facility, including, without limitation, the Sections 4.12 and 4.13 of Securities
Purchase Agreement and Sections 2.1(u) and 4.1(q) of the Note, and the Company agreed to issue warrants to purchase 240,000 Ordinary Shares
of Company to the Noteholder (the “Waiver Warrant”), and the Waiver Warrant is exercisable at an initial exercise price of
$2.8144 per Ordinary Share, adjust to applicable adjustments.
The foregoing description of the Warrant Agreement
and Waiver Warrant do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entireties by reference to the Share Purchase Agreement, a
copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and 4.2, respectively, are incorporated herein by reference.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Based in part upon the representations of GEM,
GYBL and the Noteholder in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the placement and sale of the Warrants was made in reliance on the exemption
afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder and corresponding provisions
of state securities or “blue sky” laws.

OF
ZHIBAO TECHNOLOGY INC.
Expires: December 16, 2027
No. of Shares: 467,800
Date of Issuance: December 16, 2024
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned,
ZHIBAO TECHNOLOGY INC., an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands whose registered office is at Floor 3, Building
6, Wuxing Road, Lane 727 Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China, 201204 (together with its successors and assigns, the “Issuer”
and the “Company”), hereby certifies that GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (“GEM”) or its assigns is entitled
to subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, up to 467,800 Shares,
at an exercise price of $3.95 per Share; provided that, on the first anniversary following the Effective Date (the “Adjustment
Date”), if all or any portion of this Warrant remains unexercised and the average closing price of the Common Shares for the
10 Trading Days following the Adjustment Date (the “Baseline Price”) is less than 90% of the then current exercise
price of this Warrant, then the exercise price of this Warrant shall be adjusted to 105% of the Baseline Price. Capitalized terms used
in this Warrant shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 8 hereof, and capitalized terms used but not
defined in this Warrant have the meanings given them in the Purchase Agreement. This Warrant is issued in accordance with, and subject
to, the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement.
1. Term.
The Holder may exercise this Warrant for a period which shall commence on the Effective Date, and shall expire at 6:00 p.m., Eastern
Time, on the date that is the third anniversary of the Effective Date (such period being the “Term”).
2. Method of Exercise;
Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Time of Exercise.
The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part during the Term.
(b) Method of Exercise.
The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivery to the Issuer of the exercise notice in the form attached
hereto.
(c) [Reserved]
(d) Issuance of Shares.
On the third Trading Day (the “Delivery Date”) after any exercise of this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, settlement of the Warrant Shares shall occur via “Delivery Versus Payment” (“DVP”) (i.e.,
on the Closing Date, the Issuer shall issue the Warrant Shares registered in the Holder’s name and address and released by the
Issuer’s transfer agent directly to the brokerage account(s) identified by the Holder; upon receipt of such Warrant Shares by the
Holder’s broker, payment therefor shall be made by the Holder (or its clearing firm) by wire transfer to the Issuer. The amount
of such payment shall be equal to the exercise price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares
with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised. The Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or an indemnification reasonably
acceptable to the Issuer undertaking with respect to such Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction, at such time that this
Warrant is fully exercised. This Warrant shall be exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for part only of the number
of Warrant Shares referenced by this Warrant. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any partial exercise and the number of
Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the actual number of Warrant Shares being acquired
upon such exercise, then the Issuer shall, as soon as practicable, and in no event later than five Business Days after any exercise,
and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant of like tenor representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.
With respect to partial exercises of this Warrant, the Issuer shall keep written records for the Holder of the number of Warrant Shares
exercised as of each date of exercise.
(e) Compensation for
Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Shares upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer
fails upon exercise by the Holder to cause its transfer agent to transmit to register such Warrant Shares in in the name of the
Holder (or its designee) on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in
an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares
which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Issuer shall (1) pay in cash to the
Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common
Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Issuer was required to
deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such
purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent
number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares that would
have been issued had the Issuer timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Common
Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence
reasonably requested by the Issuer. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it
hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect
to the Issuer’s failure to timely deliver such Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
(f) Transferability
of Warrant. This Warrant may be transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Issuer, (i)
at any time, to an Affiliate of the Holder, or (ii) at any time following the Effective Date, to any Person. If transferred pursuant
to this paragraph, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the
form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant
is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants to purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares, each new
Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of Warrant Shares as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange.
All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the date hereof and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the
number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
(g) Continuing Rights
of Holder. The Issuer will, at the time of, or at any time after, each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder
hereof, acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which such
Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if any
such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such
rights to such Holder.
(h) Compliance with Securities
Laws.
(i)
The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise
hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and
that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except
pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws.
(ii) Except as provided
in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates representing Warrant Shares issued upon exercise hereof shall be
stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
NEITHER THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY NOR
THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO
THE COMPANY, (B) IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS, (C) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, OR (D) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND THE HOLDER HAS, PRIOR TO SUCH SALE, FURNISHED TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION
OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF EXEMPTION, IN EITHER CASE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY.
(iii)
The Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth
above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Issuer describing
the manner and terms of such transfer. Such proposed transfer will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has received
an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the registration or qualification of such securities under
the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities
Act or state securities laws covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and has become effective under the Securities Act and the securities have been qualified under state securities laws, (iii) the Issuer
has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and
state securities laws are not required, or (iv) the Holder provides the Issuer with reasonable assurances that such security can
be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or “blue sky”
laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities
or “blue sky” laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Issuer will respond to any such
notice from a holder within five Trading Days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 2(h), the Issuer will use
reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be required,
(x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax
or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue
sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Issuer. The restrictions on transfer contained
in this Section 2(h) shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in
any other Section of this Warrant. Whenever a certificate representing the Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a the Holder without
a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares, the Issuer shall cause its transfer agent to electronically
transmit the Warrant Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder or Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its DWAC
system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement).

in Regulation D under the Securities Act.
3.
Shares Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a) Shares Fully Paid;
Reservation. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise
of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through the Issuer. The Issuer
further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have
authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issuance upon exercise of this Warrant a number of authorized but unissued Common
Shares equal to at least one hundred fifty (150%) of the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant without
regard to any limitations on exercise.
(b) Registration;
Listing. If any Common Shares required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided
hereunder require registration or qualification with any Governmental Authority under any federal or state law before such shares
may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such
shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any Common Shares on any securities exchange or market it will,
at its expense, list thereon, and maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all Warrant Shares from time to time issued
upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Shares have been registered pursuant to
a registration statement under the Securities Act then in effect), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities
exchange rules, all unissued Warrant Shares which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any Common Shares shall be so
listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities
which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the
same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Issuer.
(c) Covenants. The
Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the
Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any
other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
protect the rights of the Holder hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the
par value, if any, of its Common Shares to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of
the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Holder,
(iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable Common Shares, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon
the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any
public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations
under this Warrant.
(d) Loss, Theft,
Destruction of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security
satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will
make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the
right to purchase the number of Common Shares remaining available upon exercise of the Warrant which has been lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated.
(e) Payment of
Taxes. The Issuer will pay all transfer and issuance taxes attributable to the preparation, issuance and delivery of this
Warrant (and any replacement Warrants) including, without limitation, all documentary and stamp taxes attributable to the initial
issuance of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be
required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any
certificates representing Warrant Shares or registration of such Warrant Shares in book-entry form, as applicable, in a name other
than that of the Holder in respect to which such shares are issued.
4. Adjustment of Warrant
Price. The price at which such Warrant Shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant and/or the number of Warrant Shares
issuable shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the
Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with
the notice provisions set forth in Section 5.
(a) Recapitalization,
Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In the event that the Holder has elected not to exercise this
Warrant prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, so long as the Surviving Corporation pursuant to any Change of Control is
a company that has a class of equity securities registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its
common shares are listed or quoted on a U.S. national securities exchange, the Surviving Corporation and/or each Person (other than
the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any Securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein
shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the
obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant, including, without limitation, those under the Registration Rights Agreement (as
defined below) (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Change of Control, such assumption shall be in addition to,
and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant), and (B) the obligation to
deliver to such Holder such Securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(a),
such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and the Surviving Corporation and/or each such Person shall have similarly delivered to
such Holder an opinion of counsel for the Surviving Corporation and/or each such Person, which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to such Holder, or in the alternative, a written acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief Financial Officer
of the Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without
limitation, all of the provisions of this Section 4(a))
shall be applicable to the Securities, cash or property which the Surviving Corporation and/or each such Person may be required to
deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto. If following such a Change of Control, the
Surviving Corporation does not have a registered class of equity securities and common shares listed on a U.S. national securities
exchange as described in the first sentence of this Section 4(a),
then the Holder shall be entitled to receive compensation in accordance with the terms of Section 4.13 of the Purchase
Agreement.
(b) Share Dividends,
Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the Issuer shall:
(i) make or issue or set
a record date for the holders of the Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution
of, Common Shares,
(ii) subdivide its
outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of Common Shares, or
(iii) combine
its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares,
then (1) the number of Common Shares for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of Common Shares
which a record holder of the same number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of
such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall
be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
after such adjustment.
(c) Certain Other
Distributions. If at any time the Issuer shall make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Shares for the
purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution of:
(i) cash,
(ii) any evidences
of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash,
Common Share Equivalents or Additional Common Shares), or
(iii) any
warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any
other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Share Equivalents or Additional Common Shares), then
(1) the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of Common
Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of
which shall be the Per Share Market Value of Common Shares at the date of taking such record and (B) the denominator of which shall
be such Per Share Market Value minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Shares of any such cash so distributable and of the
fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer and supported by an opinion from an investment
banking firm mutually agreed upon by the Issuer and the Holder) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock,
other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable, and (2) the Warrant Price then
in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of Common Shares for which this
Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of the Common Shares (other than a change in par value, or from
par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into Common Shares and shares of any other class of stock shall be
deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Common Shares of such shares of such other class of stock within the
meaning of this Section 4(c) and, if the outstanding Common Shares shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of Common
Shares as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the
outstanding Common Shares within the meaning of Section 4(b).
(d)
Issuance of Additional Common Shares. In the event the Issuer shall at any time following the Effective Date issue any Additional
Common Shares (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (b) through (c) of this Section 4), at a price per share
less than the Warrant Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted
to the price equal to the consideration per share paid for such Additional Common Shares.
(e) Issuance
of Common Share Equivalents. In the event the Issuer shall at any time following the Effective Date take a record of the holders
of its Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by
assumption in a merger in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any Common Share Equivalents, whether or not
the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Shares are
issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue
or sale, or if, after any such issuance of Common Share Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Common Shares may be
issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect at the time
of such amendment or adjustment, then the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4(d). No
further adjustments of the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall
be made upon the actual issue of such Common Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Common Share Equivalents.
(f) Other Provisions
applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the
number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section 4:
(i) Computation of
Consideration. To the extent that any Additional Common Shares or any Common Share Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights
therefor) shall be issued for cash consideration, the consideration received by the Issuer therefor shall be the amount of the cash
received by the Issuer therefor, or, if such Additional Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for
subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents are sold to underwriters or
dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the public offering price (in any such case subtracting any amounts
paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without taking into account any compensation, discounts or expenses
paid or incurred by the Issuer for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof). In connection
with any merger or consolidation in which the Issuer is the Surviving Corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which
the previously outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock, ordinary or common shares, or
other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value, as determined
reasonably and in good faith by the Board, of such portion of the assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as the Board
may determine to be attributable to such Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents, as the case may be. The consideration for any
Additional Common Shares issuable pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the
consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such warrants or other rights plus the additional consideration payable to the
Issuer upon exercise of such warrants or other rights. The consideration for any Additional Common Shares issuable pursuant to the
terms of any Common Share Equivalents shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing warrants or other rights to
subscribe for or purchase such Common Share Equivalents, plus the consideration paid or payable to the Issuer in respect of the
subscription for or purchase of such Common Share Equivalents, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to the Issuer upon
the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Common Share Equivalents. In the event of any consolidation or merger of
the Issuer in which the Issuer is not the Surviving Corporation or in which the previously outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer
shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock, ordinary or common shares, or other securities of another corporation, or in the
event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer for stock, ordinary or common shares, or other securities
of any corporation, the Issuer shall be deemed to have issued a number of Common Shares for stock, ordinary or common shares, or
securities or other property of the other corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction
was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock, ordinary
or common shares, or securities or other property of the other corporation. In the event any consideration received by the Issuer
for any securities consists of property other than cash, the fair market value thereof at the time of issuance or as otherwise
applicable shall be as determined in good faith by the Board. In the event Common Shares are issued with other shares or securities
or other assets of the Issuer for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section 4(f)(i)
shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board.
(ii) When Adjustments
to Be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified
event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of Common Shares,
as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or
with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent of the Common Shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum
amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other
adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or on the date
of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the
date of its occurrence.
(iii) Fractional Interests.
In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common Shares shall be taken into account to
the nearest one hundredth (1/100th) of a share.
(iv) When
Adjustment Not Required. If the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them
to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to shareholders
thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no
adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall
be rescinded and annulled.
(g) Form of Warrant after
Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind
of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
5. Notice of Adjustments.
Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes
of this Section 5, each an “adjustment”), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare
and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the
method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder),
and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to
be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant
with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to a national
or regional accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Holder, provided that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days
after receipt of notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select another
such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding
sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after
submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. The costs and expenses of the initial
accounting firm shall be paid equally by the Issuer and the Holder and, in the case of an objection by the Issuer, the costs and expenses
of the subsequent accounting firm shall be paid in full by the Issuer.
6. Fractional Shares.
No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer
shall round the number of shares to be issued upon exercise up to the nearest whole number of shares.
7.
Ownership Cap and Exercise Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, at no time
may a Holder of this Warrant exercise this Warrant if the number of Common Shares to be issued pursuant to such exercise would exceed,
when aggregated with all Other Common Shares owned by such Holder and its Affiliates at such time, the number of Common Shares which would
result in such Holder and its Affiliates beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 12(d) of the Exchange Act
and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding Common Shares; provided, however, that upon
a Holder of this Warrant providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61) days’ notice (pursuant to Section 12 hereof)
(the “Waiver Notice”) that such Holder would like to waive this Section 7 with regard to any or all
Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 7 will be of no force or effect with regard to all
or a portion of the Warrant referenced in the Waiver Notice until the date that the Holder notifies the Issuer (pursuant to Section 12
hereof) that the Holder revokes the Waiver Notice; provided, further, that during the sixty-one (61) day period prior to the expiration
of the Term, the Holder may waive this Section 7 by providing a Waiver Notice at any time during such sixty-one (61)
day period.

Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall
be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A)
= as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of
Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and
delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in
Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder,
either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the
Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable
Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered
within two hours thereafter (including until two hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant
to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a
Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular
trading hours” on such Trading Day;
(B)
= the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X)
= the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such
exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If
Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the
Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised and the holding period of the Warrants
being exercised may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrant Shares. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to
this Section 2(c).
“Bid
Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock
are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date)
on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from
9:30 a.m. (New York, N.Y. time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York, N.Y. time)), (b) if the Common Stock are traded on OTCQB or OTCQX, the volume
weighted average sales price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if
the Common Stock are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in
the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of
reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value
of an Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company,
the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
“VWAP”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock are then listed
or quoted on The New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American or any tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market
(each, a “Trading Market”), the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the
nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based
on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York, N.Y. time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York, N.Y. time)), (b) if the Common Stock are traded on OTCQB
or OTCQX , the volume weighted average sales price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX
as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock
are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding
to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases,
the fair market value of an Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and reasonably
acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall
be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).
(d) Mechanics
of Exercise.
(i) Delivery
of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Company’s
share transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s
balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if
the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance
of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder, or (B) if there is no effective registration statement and the Warrant
is exercised via cashless exercise at a time when such Warrant Shares would be eligible for resale under Rule 144 by a non-affiliate
of the Company, such Warrant Shares are delivered to Holder’s broker, and the Company receives a statement from Holder’s
broker that it has received instructions to sell the Warrant Shares or that it would take responsibility that the sales of the Warrant
Shares will only be made if the Warrant Shares are eligible to be sold under Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate,
registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which
the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is
the earliest of (i) three Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise or (ii) one Trading Day after delivery
of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the
Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with
respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of
the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within three Trading Days following delivery
of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise
by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each
$1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise),
$10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each
Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company
agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this
Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable.
(ii) Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and
upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing
the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other
respects be identical with this Warrant.
(iii) Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)
by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
(iv) Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if
the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section
2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by
its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Common
Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise
(a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying
(1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times
(2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either
reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such
exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely
complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase
price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to
such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the
Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In
and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any
other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required
pursuant to the terms hereof.
(v) No
Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall,
at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the
Exercise Price or round down to the next whole share.
(vi) Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other
incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which transfer taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company,
and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided,
however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when
surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached as Exhibit B hereto duly executed by the Holder
and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental
thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the
Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic
delivery of the Warrant Shares.
(vii) Closing
of Books. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,
pursuant to the terms hereof.
(e) Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise
any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise
as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting
as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)),
would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
number of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of
Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by
the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion
of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution
Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the
Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act
and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation
contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned
by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the
sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether
this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties)
and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall
have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated
above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding
Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may
be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting
forth the number of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day
confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common
Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by
the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Stock was reported.
The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may
increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of
Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase
in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.
The provisions of this Section 2(e) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms
of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial
Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Section
3. Certain Adjustments.
(a) Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes
a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Stock
(which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides
outstanding Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of
the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common
Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number
of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately
adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section
3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend
or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
(b) Subsequent
Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells
any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any
class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable
to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Common
Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation,
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase
Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue
or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such
Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate
in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent)
and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would
not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
(c) Pro
Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution
of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise, other than cash
(including, without limitation, any distribution of stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification,
corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after
the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent
that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of
this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)
immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the
extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership
of any Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for
the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation).
(d) Subsequent
Equity Sales. Except in any case for Common Stock issued in an Exempt Issuance (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) to which this
Section 3(d) shall not apply, if and whenever, at any time during the 18-month period following the Original Issuance Date, the Company
issues, sells or grants or in accordance with this Section 3 is deemed to have issued, sold, or granted, any Common Stock and/or Common
Stock Equivalents (including the issuance, sale or grant of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company) for a consideration
per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such issuance, sale or grant or deemed issuance, sale or grant (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to herein as the “Applicable
Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance the Exercise
Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without
limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price and the New Issuance Price under this Section 3(d)), the following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance
of Options. If the Company in any manner grants, issues, or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue, or sell) any Options
(as defined below) and the lowest price per share for which one Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option
(as defined below) or upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such Option
(as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such Common Stock shall be deemed
to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance, sale or grant of such Option (as defined
below) for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 3(d)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one Common Stock is
at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Options (as defined below) or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common
Stock Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall
be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect
to any one Common Stock upon the granting, issuance, or sale of such Option (as defined below), upon exercise of such Option (as defined
below) and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents issuable upon exercise of such Option (as defined below)
or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option (as defined below) for which one
Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon the exercise of any such Options (as defined
below) or upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such Option (as defined
below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any
other Person) upon the granting, issuance, or sale of such Option (as defined below), upon exercise of such Option (as defined below)
and upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents issuable upon exercise of such Option (as defined below) or
otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on,
the holder of such Option (as defined below) (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise
Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Common Stock Equivalents upon the exercise of such Options
(as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms of or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or
exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents. “Option” means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.
(ii) Issuance
of Common Stock Equivalents. If the Company in any manner issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to issue or sell) any Common
Stock Equivalents (other than Options) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon
the conversion, exercise, or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such
Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of
such Common Stock Equivalents for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 3(d)(ii), the “lowest price per share
for which one Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise, or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms
thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable
by the Company with respect to one Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Common Stock Equivalents and upon conversion, exercise,
or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth
in such Common Stock Equivalents for which one Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions)
upon conversion, exercise, or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable
to the holder of such Common Stock Equivalents (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Common Stock Equivalents plus
the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Common Stock Equivalents
(or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance
of such Common Stock upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof,
and if any such issuance or sale of such Common Stock Equivalents is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant
has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 3(d), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the
Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.
(iii) Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration,
if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise, or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents, or the rate at which any Common Stock
Equivalents are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock increases or decreases at any time (other than proportional
changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in Section 3(a)), the Exercise Price
in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time
had such Options or Common Stock Equivalents provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration, or increased
or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3(d)(iii),
if the terms of any Option or Common Stock Equivalents that was outstanding as of the date this Warrant was issued are increased or decreased
in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Common Stock Equivalents and the Common Stock deemed
issuable upon exercise, conversion, or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease.
No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(d) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in
effect.
(iv) Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If any Option and/or Common Stock Equivalents and/or Adjustment Right (as defined below) is
issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined by the
Holder, the “Primary Security”, and such Option and/or Common Stock Equivalents and/or Adjustment Right (as defined
below), the “Secondary Securities”), together comprising one integrated transaction, (or one or more transactions
if such issuances or sales or deemed issuances or sales of securities of the Company either (A) have at least one investor or purchaser
in common, (B) are consummated in reasonable proximity to each other and/or (C) are consummated under the same plan of financing) the
aggregate consideration per Common Stock with respect to such Primary Security shall be deemed to be equal to the difference of (x) the
lowest price per share for which one Common Stock was issued (or was deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3(d)(i) or 3(d)(ii) above,
as applicable) in such integrated transaction solely with respect to such Primary Security, minus (y) with respect to such Secondary
Securities, the sum of (I) the Black Scholes Consideration Value (as defined below) of each such Option, if any, (II) the fair market
value (as determined by the Holder in good faith) or the Black Scholes Consideration Value (as defined below), as applicable, of such
Adjustment Right (as defined below), if any, and (III) the fair market value (as determined by the Holder) of such Common Stock Equivalents,
if any, in each case, as determined on a per share basis in accordance with this Section 3(d)(iv). If any Common Stock, Options, or Common
Stock Equivalents are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor (for the purpose
of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option, or Common Stock Equivalents, but not for the purpose of the calculation
of the Black Scholes Consideration Value (as defined below)) will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company
therefor. If any Common Stock, Options, or Common Stock Equivalents are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount
of such consideration received by the Company (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option, or
Common Stock Equivalents, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value (as defined below)) will
be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount
of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of
the five Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any Common Stock, Options, or Common Stock Equivalents are issued
to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration
therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option, or Common Stock Equivalents, but not for
the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value (as defined below)) will be deemed to be the fair value of such
portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options, or Common Stock
Equivalents (as the case may be). The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined
jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within 10 days after the occurrence of an event
requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five Trading
Days after the 10th day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the
Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses
of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company). “Adjustment Right” means any right granted with respect to any securities
issued in connection with, or with respect to, any issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale hereunder) of Common Stock (other than
rights of the type described in Sections 3(b) and 3(c) hereof) that could result in a decrease in the net consideration received by the
Company in connection with, or with respect to, such securities (including, without limitation, any cash settlement rights, cash adjustment
or other similar rights). “Black Scholes Consideration Value” means the value of the applicable Option, Common Stock
Equivalent or Adjustment Right (as the case may be) as of the date of issuance thereof calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing
Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg utilizing (i) an underlying price per share equal to the Closing Sale
Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the execution of definitive documents with
respect to the issuance of such Option or Common Stock Equivalents (as the case may be), (ii) a risk-free interest rate corresponding
to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of such Option, Common Stock Equivalent or Adjustment Right (as the
case may be) as of the date of issuance of such Option, Common Stock Equivalent or Adjustment Right (as the case may be), (iii) a zero
cost of borrow and (iv) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 30 day volatility obtained from the “HVT”
function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the date of issuance
of such Option, Common Stock Equivalent or Adjustment Right (as the case may be).
(v) Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling
them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options, or in Common Stock Equivalents or (B) to subscribe
for or purchase Common Stock, Options, or Common Stock Equivalents, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance
or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution
or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).
(vi)
Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3(d), the number of
Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise
Price payable hereunder shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard
to any limitations on exercise contained herein).
(e) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions
effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any
sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series
of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another
Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities,
cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly,
in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory
share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property,
or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other
business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another
Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock (not including any
Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making
or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”),
then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without
regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of common equity of the successor or
acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the
exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted
to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock
in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable
manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given
any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same
choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company
shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”)
to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e)
pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable
delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant
a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which
is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the
Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant)
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital
stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such
shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic
value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in
form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and
be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction
Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power
of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the
same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
(f) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes
of this Section 3, the number of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of
Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
(g) Notice
to Holder
(i) Adjustment
to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly
deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment
to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(ii) Notice
to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common
Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall
authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock
of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification
of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock are converted into other securities, cash or property,
or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company,
then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email
address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register (as defined below), at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or
effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock
of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date
as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities,
cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that
the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action
required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public
information regarding the Company, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Form 8-K. The
Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of
the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
Section
4. Transfer of Warrant.
(a) Transferability.
Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof, this Warrant and all
rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this
Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially
in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable
upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant
or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument
of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant
shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender
this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant
to the Company within three Trading Days of the date the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in
full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without
having a new Warrant issued.
(b) New
Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company,
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or
its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination,
the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in
accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issuance Date of this Warrant
and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
(c) Warrant
Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder
of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other
purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
(d) Representation
by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise
hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or
reselling such Warrant or Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law,
except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section
5. Registration Rights. The Warrant Shares shall be subject to the registration rights and the terms and conditions thereof as provided
for in Registration Rights Agreement, which terms and conditions are incorporated herein by reference to the extent applicable to the
Warrant Shares.
Section
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) No
Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as
a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.
(b) Loss,
Theft, Destruction, or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case
of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include
the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make
and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
(c) Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
(d) Authorized
Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Stock such number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this
Warrant as required under Section 5.5 of the Purchase Agreement. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall
constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant
Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading
Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment
for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes,
liens, and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously
with such issue).
Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending
its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale
of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant,
but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary
or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise
immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof,
as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from
any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
(e) Governing
Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant
shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, and any action relating to this Warrant shall only be
brought as provided in the Purchase Agreement.
(f) Restrictions.
The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not
utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
(g) No
Listing or Quotation. This Warrant is not listed or quoted on any securities exchange or quotation system and will not be publicly
traded.
(h) Non-waiver
and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as
a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of
this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which
results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs
and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the
Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
(i) Notices.
Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered
in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(j) Limitation
of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase
price of any Common Stock or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
(k) Remedies.
The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any
action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(l) Successors
and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.
The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable
by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
(m) Amendment.
This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
(n) Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
(o) Headings.
The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this
Warrant.

Transaction Document and to issue and sell the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. Except for approvals of the
Company’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof as may be required in connection with any issuance and sale of Shares to

Section 302 of ERISA) or any of the events set forth in Section 4043(b) of ERISA has occurred with respect to any Plan,
and the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the securities hereunder shall not result in any of
the foregoing events. Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with applicable law, including ERISA and the Code; the
Company has not incurred and does not expect to incur liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to the termination of, or
withdrawal from, any Plan; and each Plan for which the Company would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified in all material respects and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to
act, which would cause the loss of such qualifications. As used in this Section 3.01(x), the term
“Plan” shall mean an “employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA)
which is or has been established or maintained, or to which contributions are or have been made, by the Company or any Subsidiary or
by any trade or business, whether or not incorporated, which, together with the Company or any Subsidiary, is under common control,
as described in Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code.
(y)
Taxes. The Company (i) has filed all necessary federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns or has duly requested
extensions thereof, (ii) has paid all federal, state, local and foreign taxes due and payable for which it is liable, except to the
extent that any such taxes are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, and (iii) does not have any tax deficiency
or claims outstanding or assessed or, to the Company’s Knowledge, proposed against it. There are no unpaid taxes in any material
amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim.
The Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify as a “passive foreign investment company” as defined in Section 1297
of the Code.
(z)
Insurance. The Company is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such
amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company is engaged. The Company
has not been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and the Company has no reason to believe that it will be unable to
renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be
necessary to continue its business.
(aa)
U.S. Real Property Holding Corporation. The Company is not, nor has it ever been, and so long as any of the securities are held

Exemption from Registration; Valid Issuances. Subject to, and in reliance on, the representations, warranties and covenants made
herein by the Purchaser, the offer and sale of the Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of
Regulation D; provided, however, that at the request of and with the express agreement of the Purchaser and in accordance
with applicable law, the Shares will be delivered to the Purchaser via book entry through the Depository Trust Company and will not bear
legends noting restrictions as to resale of such securities under federal or state securities laws, nor will any such securities be subject
to stop transfer instructions. Neither the offer and sale of the Shares pursuant to, nor the Company’s performance of its obligations
under, the Transaction Documents to which it is a party shall (i) result in the creation or imposition of any Liens upon the Shares,
or (ii) entitle the holders of any outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company to preemptive or other rights to subscribe
to or acquire Common Shares or other securities of the Company.
(cc)
No General Solicitation or Advertising. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf,
has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the
offer or sale of the Shares.
(dd)
No Integrated Offering. None of the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly,
made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration
of the issuance of any of the Shares under the Securities Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause
this offering of the Shares to require approval of shareholders of the Company under any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including,
without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the Commission and the Principal Market. None of the Company, nor its Affiliates,
nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in the preceding sentence that would require registration
of the issuance of any of the securities under the Securities Act or cause the offering of any of the Shares to be integrated with other
offerings.
(ee)
Manipulation of Price. Neither the Company nor any of its officers, directors or Affiliates has, and, to the Knowledge of the Company,
no Person acting on their behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed or intended to cause or to result in
the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company, or which caused or resulted in, or which would in the future
reasonably be expected to cause or result in, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company, in each case
to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Shares, or (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting
purchases of, any of the Shares. Neither the Company nor any of its officers, directors or Affiliates will, during the term of this Agreement,
and, to the Knowledge of the Company, no Person acting on their behalf will, during the term of this Agreement, take any of the actions
referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.
(ff)
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. None of the Company, any Subsidiary or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any director, officer,
agent, employee, Affiliate or other Person acting on behalf of the Company, is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly,
that would result in a violation by such Persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations
thereunder (collectively, the “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality
of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or
other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such
term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention
of the FCPA. The Company has conducted its business in compliance with the FCPA.
(gg)

recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the money laundering
statutes of all jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued,
administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”) and, to the Knowledge
of the Company, no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving
the Company with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or threatened.
(hh) OFAC. None
of the Company or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee, Affiliate or Person acting on behalf of
the Company is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the
U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and the Company will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the
offering, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person,
for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.
(ii)
Acknowledgment Regarding Purchaser’s Purchase of Shares. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser is acting
solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereunder and thereunder. The Company further acknowledges that the Purchaser is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary
of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated
hereunder and thereunder, and any advice given by the Purchaser or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder is merely incidental to the Purchaser’s
purchase of the Shares.
Section 3.02
Representatives and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser and GYBL hereby make the following representations and warranties
to the Company as of the Effective Date and as of the date of each Draw Down Notice and as of each Settlement Date:
(a)
Organization and Standing of the Purchaser and GYBL. The Purchaser is a “société en commandite simple”
duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Luxembourg. GYBL is a limited company duly formed, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.
(b)
Authorization and Power. Each of the Purchaser and GYBL has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to purchase the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party by Purchaser and
by GYBL and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action,
and no further consent or authorization of the Purchaser and GYBL, and the Board of Directors or shareholders of either of them is required.
This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Purchaser or GYBL is a party has been duly executed and delivered by each
of the Purchaser and GYBL. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Purchaser or GYBL is a party constitutes, or
shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser or GYBL, enforceable against the Purchaser
or GYBL, respectively, in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement
of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
(c) No Conflicts.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Purchaser or GYBL is a
party, and the consummation by the Purchaser and GYBL of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or relating hereto or
thereto, do not and will not (i) result in a violation of such Purchaser’s or GYBL’s charter documents or bylaws or
(ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default)
under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage,
deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Purchaser or GYBL is a party,
(iii) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of the Purchaser or GYBL under any agreement or any
commitment to which the Purchaser or GYBL is party or by which the Purchaser or GYBL is bound or by which any of their respective
properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree
of any court or governmental agency applicable to the Purchaser or GYBL or any of their respective properties, except for such
conflicts, defaults and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability
of the Purchaser or GYBL to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which
the Purchaser or GYBL is a party in any material respect. Neither the Purchaser nor GYBL is required to obtain any consent,
authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute,
deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the Purchaser is a party
or to purchase the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that for purposes of the
representation made in this sentence, each of the Purchaser and GYBL is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the
representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein.
(d)
Accredited Investor. Each of the Purchaser and GYBL is an institutional “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act.
(e)
Financial Risks. Each of the Purchaser and GYBL acknowledges that it is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment
in the Shares. Each of the Purchaser and GYBL is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in the Shares by virtue of
its experience as an investor and its knowledge, experience, and sophistication in financial and business matters, and each of the Purchaser
and GYBL is capable of bearing the entire loss of its investment in the Shares.
(f)
Information. The Purchaser and GYBL and their respective advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the
business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Shares which have been requested
by the Purchaser or GYBL. The Purchaser and GYBL and their respective advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions
of the Company. The Purchaser and GYBL have sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed
investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Shares. The Purchaser and GYBL understand that they (and not the Company) shall
be responsible for their own respective tax liabilities that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Purchaser or GYBL is a party.
(g)
No-Broker Dealer. Purchaser represents, warrants and agrees that it is buying the Shares for investment purposes and not for distribution.
It is not registered as a broker-dealer with the Commission and is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer by virtue of the trader
exception to the definition of dealer under the Exchange Act.
ARTICLE IV
COVENANTS
The Company covenants with
the Purchaser and GYBL, and the Purchaser and GYBL together covenant with the Company, as follows, which covenants of one party are for
the benefit of the other party.
Section 4.01
Securities Compliance. The Company shall notify the Commission and the Principal Market, if applicable, in accordance with
their rules and regulations, of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, and shall take all
other necessary action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation, for the legal and valid
issuance of the Shares to the Purchaser and GYBL. The Company shall take such action, if any, as is reasonably necessary in order to obtain
an exemption for or to qualify any subsequent resale of the Shares by the Purchaser and GYBL, in each case, under applicable securities
or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States of America in such states as is reasonably requested by the Purchaser
or GYBL from time to time, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Purchaser.
Section 4.02
Registration and Listing. During the Investment Period, the Company will use its best efforts to maintain the registration
of the Shares under Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, will comply in all material respects with its reporting and filing
obligations under the Exchange Act and take all action necessary to maintain compliance with such reporting and filing obligations, and
will not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Securities Act) to terminate or suspend such registration
or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, except as permitted herein.
During the Investment Period, the Company will use its best efforts to maintain the listing or trading of its Common Shares and the listing
of the Shares purchased by Purchaser hereunder on the Principal Market or any relevant market or system, if applicable, and will use its
best efforts comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the
Principal Market or any relevant market or system.
Section 4.03
Registration Rights Agreement. The Company, the Purchaser and GYBL shall enter into the Registration Rights Agreement with
respect to the Shares, dated the Effective Date, in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.
Section 4.04
Compliance with Laws.
(a)
The Company shall comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to the business and operations of the Company
and with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Principal Market (including,
without limitation, Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act).
(b) During the
Investment Period, the Purchaser and GYBL shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and
orders in connection with this Agreement and each other Transaction Document and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
Without limiting the foregoing, during the Investment Period, the Purchaser and GYBL shall comply with the requirements of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act including, without limitation, Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5
and Regulation M under the Exchange Act, where applicable.
Section 4.05
Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Company shall keep and cause each Subsidiary to keep adequate records and books
of account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions
of the Company, and in which, for each fiscal year, all proper reserves for depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes,
bad debts and other purposes in connection with its business shall be made.
Section 4.06
Limitations on Holdings and Issuances. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, at no time while the Company is subject
to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act may the Company issue, and at no time shall the Purchaser
be obligated to purchase, any Shares which would result in the Purchaser beneficially owning, directly or indirectly, at the time of such
proposed issuance, more than 9.99% of the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding as of the date of such proposed issuance; provided,
however, that upon the Purchaser providing the Company with sixty-one (61) days’ notice (pursuant to Section 9.04 hereof)
(the “Waiver Notice”) that the Purchaser would like to waive this Section 4.06 with regard to any or all Shares issuable
pursuant to this Agreement, this Section 4.06 will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Shares referenced
in the Waiver Notice until the date that the Purchaser notifies the Company (pursuant to Section 9.04 hereof) that the Purchaser
revokes the Waiver Notice; provided, further, that during the sixty-one (61) day period prior to the expiration of the Investment
Period, the Purchaser may waive this Section 4.06 by providing a Waiver Notice at any time during such sixty-one (61) day period.
Section 4.07
Registration Statement. The Company shall cause the Registration Statement to be filed and seek that it be declared effective
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Statement shall register with the Commission the Shares to be issued under
the Draw Downs, the Warrant Shares and the Commitment Fee Shares (including any additional Shares issued pursuant to Section 4.12(e)(1),
if applicable). The Purchaser shall not be obligated to accept a Draw Down request from the Company unless the Registration Statement
is then effective and the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement is then current and in compliance with all applicable rules
of the Commission and the Principal Market.
Section 4.08
Other Agreements and Other Financings. The Company shall not enter into any agreement in which the terms of such agreement
would restrict or impair the right to perform of the Company or any Subsidiary under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(a)
The Company shall not enter into any agreement, the principal purpose of which is to secure an “equity line” similar to the
financing provided for under this Agreement during the Investment Period. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein and therein, the Company may enter into other financing arrangements except as set forth above
(b) The Company shall
provide prompt notice to the Purchaser of any Alternate Transaction. For all purposes of this Agreement, an “Alternate
Transaction” shall mean (w) the issuance of Common Shares for a purchase price less than, or the issuance of securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares at an exercise or conversion price (as the case may be) less than, the
then-current market price of the Common Shares, respectively (including, without limitation, pursuant to any “equity
line” or other financing that is substantially similar to the financing provided for under this Agreement, or pursuant to any
other transaction in which the purchase, conversion or exchange price for such Common Shares is determined using a floating discount
or other post-issuance adjustable discount to the then-current market price), in each case, after all fees, discounts, warrant value
and commissions associated with the transaction; (x) an “at-the-market” offering of Common Shares or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares pursuant to Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act; (y) the implementation by
the Company of any mechanism in respect of any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares for the rest of the
purchase price of the Common Shares to below the then-current market price of the Common Shares, respectively (including, without
limitation, any anti-dilution or similar adjustment provisions in respect of any Company securities, but specifically excluding
customary anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, dividends, combinations, recapitalizations, reclassifications and similar
events); or (z) the issuance of options, warrants or similar rights of subscription or the issuance of convertible equity or debt
securities (other than employee incentive stock options issued in the ordinary course of business).
Section 4.09
Stop Orders. During the Investment Period, the Company shall use its best efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness
of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act. The Company will advise the Purchaser and GYBL promptly and, if requested by the
Purchaser or GYBL, will confirm such advice in writing: (i) of the Company’s receipt of notice of any request by the Commission
for amendment of or a supplement to the Registration Statement, any related prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the
Company’s receipt of notice of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or of the suspension of qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding
for such purpose; and (iii) of the Company becoming aware of the happening of any event, which makes any statement of a material
fact made in the Registration Statement (as then amended or supplemented) untrue or which requires the making of any additions to or changes
in the Registration Statement (as then amended or supplemented) in order to state a material fact required by the Securities Act to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the
withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible time.
Section 4.10
Selling Restrictions; Volume Limitations.
(a) The Purchaser
covenants that during the Investment Period neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates nor any entity managed by the Purchaser
will, directly or indirectly, sell any securities of the Company except the Common Shares that it owns or has the right to purchase
pursuant to the provisions of a Draw Down Notice. During the Investment Period, neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates nor
any entity managed by the Purchaser will, directly or indirectly, effect or agree to effect any short sale (as defined in Rule 200
under Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of the Common Shares, whether or not against the box, establish any “put equivalent
position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) with respect to the Common Shares, borrow or pre-borrow any
Common Shares, or grant any other right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the Common Shares,
or do any of the foregoing with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from
the Common Shares or otherwise seek to hedge its position in the Common Shares. In addition, during any Draw Down Pricing Period and
on a daily Trading Day basis, the Purchaser agrees to restrict the volume of sales of Shares by the Purchaser, its Affiliates and
any entity managed by the Purchaser to no more than 1/30th of the Shares purchased pursuant to the related Draw Down Notice.
(b)
During the Investment Period, in connection with any sale of the Company’s securities, the Purchaser and GYBL shall comply in all
material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act and Regulation M and Rule 10b-5
under the Exchange Act, where applicable.
Section 4.11
Non-Public Information. From the Investment Period and until the later of (i) the term of the Agreement and (ii) such time
as Purchaser or GYBL no longer hold any Shares, none of the Company, nor any of its directors, officers or agents shall disclose any material
non-public information about the Company to the Purchaser or GYBL.
Section 4.12
Commitment Fee; Warrant.
(a)
The Company shall pay to GYBL, as a commitment fee, an amount equal to 2% of the Aggregate Limit (the “Commitment Fee”),
deliverable as set forth below. Subject to Section 4.12(d), the Commitment Fee due upon each Draw Down may be paid in cash from the proceeds
of such Draw Down or in freely tradeable Common Shares of the Company valued at the Daily Closing Price at the time of such Draw Down,
at the option of the Company. The amount of the Commitment Fee due in each such installment shall be the product obtained by multiplying
(i) the total amount of the Commitment Fee by (ii) the quotient derived by dividing (y) the value of Shares purchased pursuant to the
applicable Draw Down by (z) the Aggregate Limit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, at its option, may pay the Commitment Fee
in cash or in Common Shares (provided that such Common Shares shall have been registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration
statement), so long (x) as 50% of the Commitment Fee shall have been paid on or before the six (6) month anniversary of the Effective
Date, and (y) 100% of the Commitment Fee shall have been paid on or before the nine (9) month anniversary of the Effective Date. On the
Effective Date, the Company shall place a cash amount equal to the Commitment Fee either into an escrow account as agreed between the
Parties or shall issue shares to the Purchaser as described in Section 4.12(d). For the avoidance of doubt, the Commitment Fee shall be
payable by the Company irrespective of whether any Draw Down Notices have been delivered by the Company in accordance herewith. If any
sum payable under this Section 4.12(a) is not paid on the due date for payment (following due notification from the Company), interest
shall accrue on such sum from and including the due date for payment to but excluding the date on which payment is made at a rate of 15
per cent. above the 3-month SOFR from time to time, compounded daily. The parties acknowledge that the penalty provision in the prior
sentence is not in lieu of payment of the Commitment Fee, which shall be fully earned on the date that such payment is due as provided
in this Section 4.12(a).
(b) On the Effective
Date, the Company shall make and execute a warrant granting GYBL the right to purchase Common Shares, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit B (the “Warrant”) having an expiration date that is the third anniversary of the
Effective Date, granting GYBL the right to purchase, upon the terms set forth more fully therein, up to 467,800 Common Shares, at an
exercise price per Share equal to $3.95. On the first anniversary following the Effective Date (the “Adjustment
Date”), if all or any portion of the Warrants remain unexercised and the average Daily Closing Price of the Common Shares
for the 10 Trading Days following the Adjustment Date (the “Current Trading Price”) is less than 90% of the
then-current exercise price of the Warrant, the exercise price of such remaining Warrant shall adjust to 105% of the Current Trading
Price.
(c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, if the Purchaser determines in its reasonable discretion that the issuance of
the Warrant could result in the Warrant Shares or any Shares issued to the Purchaser pursuant to a Draw Down hereunder not to be freely
transferable under applicable securities Laws or otherwise adversely effects the Purchaser’s ability to sell the Warrant Shares
or such Shares issued pursuant to a Draw Down, then the Parties shall structure an alternative issuance and sale of Common Shares to the
Purchaser that are economically equivalent to the exercise of the Warrant in full.
(d)
On the Effective Date, unless the Company shall have placed a cash amount into escrow pursuant to the option set forth in Section 4.12(a),
the Company shall issue a number of Common Shares to GYBL equal to the Commitment Fee, divided by the Daily Closing Price on the Effective
Date (the “Commitment Fee Shares”). The Commitment Fee Shares shall bear the following restrictive legend (the “Legend”):
THESE SHARES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON
RESALE PURSUANT TO A SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AMONG THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE
OFFICE OF THE COMPANY. NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT.
The Company shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Legend to be removed from any Commitment Fee Shares (x) upon payment of any portion of the Commitment
Fee by the Company in Common Shares pursuant to Section 4.12(a) above or (y) no later than the first anniversary of the Effective Date.
(i) If, on the 90th, 180th,
or 270th day after the Effective Date, GYBL holds Commitment Fee Shares which have an aggregate value (calculated by reference to the
Daily Closing Price) which is less than the portion of the Commitment Fee that remains unpaid (the “Shortfall”), then
the Company shall promptly issue additional Commitment Fee Shares to GYBL equal in value to the Shortfall. (ii) If, on the 90th, 180th,
or 270th day after the Effective Date or the date upon which the Commitment Fee has been paid in full, if earlier, GYBL holds Commitment
Fee Shares that have an aggregate value (calculated by reference to the Daily Closing Price) that is greater than the portion of the Commitment
Fee to be paid on such date (the “Surplus”), then GYBL shall promptly return to the Company a number of Commitment
Fee Shares equal in value to the Surplus.
Section 4.13
DWAC Eligibility. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shares and its transfer agent to be, at the
time of each Draw Down, eligible to participate in the DWAC system (“DWAC Eligible”).
Section 4.14 Reservation of Shares.
The Company will have available, and shall reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive and other similar rights of shareholders,
the requisite aggregate number of authorized but unissued Common Shares to enable the Company to timely effect the issuance, sale and
delivery in full to the Purchaser of all the Shares to be issued and delivered under this Agreement, in any case prior to the issuance
to the Purchaser of such Common Shares.
Section 4.15
Amendments to the Registration Statement; Prospectus Supplements. Except as provided in this Agreement and other than periodic
reports required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company shall not file with the Commission any amendment to the Registration
Statement that relates to the Purchaser, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or file with the Commission
any Prospectus Supplement that relates to the Purchaser, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby with respect
to which (a) the Purchaser shall not previously have been advised, (b) the Company shall not have given due consideration to
any comments thereon received from the Purchaser or its counsel, or (c) the Purchaser shall reasonably object after being so advised,
unless it is necessary to amend the Registration Statement or make any supplement to the Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act
or any other applicable law or regulation, in which case the Company shall promptly so inform the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall be provided
with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon any disclosure relating to the Purchaser and the Company shall expeditiously
furnish to the Purchaser an electronic copy thereof. In addition, for so long as, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Purchaser,
the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required to be delivered in
connection with any sales of registrable securities by the Purchaser, the Company shall not file any Prospectus Supplement without delivering
or making available a copy of such Prospectus Supplement to the Purchaser promptly. Upon receipt of an amendment to the Registration Statement
or Prospectus Supplement from the Company or its counsel, the Purchaser shall promptly review such document and provide comments to the
Company or its counsel regarding such document, if any, within a reasonable period of time.

ARTICLE VI
DRAW DOWN TERMS
Section 6.01
Draw Down Terms. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and subject to Section 6.02
below, the Parties agree (unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parties in writing) as follows:
(a)
The Company may, in its sole discretion, issue a Draw Down Notice (as defined in Section 6.01(i) hereof) for a specified Draw
Down Amount Requested. Subject to Section 6.01(h) below, the Purchaser shall pay a per-Share amount equal to 90% of the average
Daily Closing Price during the Draw Down Pricing Period (the “Purchase Price”). Subject to Section 4.06
hereof, the Draw Down Amount Requested shall not exceed seven hundred percent (700%) (the “Draw Down Limit”) of the
average daily trading volume for the 30 Trading Days immediately preceding the Draw Down Exercise Date.
(b)
Prior to commencement of the Draw Down Pricing Period, the Company shall deliver the Shares to be purchased in such Draw Down to the Purchaser.
If Shares delivered to the Purchaser prior to commencement of the Draw Down Pricing Period are delivered in certificated form and not
DWAC Eligible, then the Draw Down Pricing Period shall not begin until the Shares are cleared by an appointed clearing agent.
(c)
Only one Draw Down shall be allowed in each Draw Down Pricing Period.
(d)
Each Draw Down shall be settled on the first Trading Day after the end of each Draw Down Pricing Period (the “Settlement Date”).
(e)
In connection with each Draw Down, the Purchaser shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to purchase Shares with a Draw Down Amount
equal to between 50% and 150% of the Draw Down Amount Requested, the exercise of such option to be reflected in the closing notice provided
by the Purchaser to the Company on the Settlement Date. (i) As provided in Section 6.02, Purchaser shall not be obliged to purchase
a number of Shares that exceed the Aggregate Limit and (ii) the Company shall promptly deliver to the Purchaser the Shares to be purchased
pursuant to this Section 6.01(e) in excess of the Shares delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(b).
(f) At the end of each
Draw Down Pricing Period, the Purchaser’s total Draw Down commitment under this Agreement shall be reduced by the total Draw
Down Amount for such Draw Down Pricing Period.
(g)
Each Draw Down will automatically expire immediately after the last Trading Day of each Draw Down Pricing Period.
(h)
Each Draw Down Notice shall set forth the Threshold Price set by the Company for such Draw Down. If the Daily Closing Price on a given
Trading Day in the Draw Down Pricing Period, multiplied by 9/10, is less than the Threshold Price, then the total Draw Down Amount Requested
will be reduced by 1/30th, and, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, no Shares will be purchased or sold with respect to such Trading
Day and the Daily Closing Price on such Trading Day shall be excluded from the calculation of the Purchase Price.
(i)
As a condition to the exercise of any Draw Down, the Company must (i) provide a notice to the Purchaser of the Company’s exercise
of any Draw Down via email before commencement of trading on the first Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period covered by such notice
(the “Draw Down Notice”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, and (ii) pursuant
to Section 6.01(b), deliver the Shares to the Purchaser or its designees via DWAC, if the Company is approved for DWAC in an amount
equal to the Draw Down Amount Requested (which amount shall be adjusted in the event that the amount accepted by the Purchaser pursuant
to Section 6.01(a) hereof is different than the Draw Down Amount Requested). The date the Company delivers the Draw Down Notice
and the Shares in accordance with this Section 6.01(i) shall be a “Draw Down Exercise Date.” The Draw Down
Notice shall specify the Draw Down Amount Requested, set the Threshold Price for such Draw Down and designate the first Trading Day of
the Draw Down Pricing Period that the Company wishes to grant to the Purchaser during the Draw Down Pricing Period.
(j)
On each Settlement Date, the Purchaser shall (i) provide the Company a closing notice in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto;
(ii) make payment for the Shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement to the Company’s designated account by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, provided that the Shares were received by the Purchaser in accordance with Section 6.01(b) hereof; and
(iii) return to the Company any Shares delivered to the Purchaser in connection with the applicable Draw Down Notice pursuant to
Section 6.01(b) that have not been purchased by Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof, it being understood that Purchaser shall
have the ability to sell any purchased Shares at any time following their deposit pursuant to Section 6.01(b).
Section 6.02
Aggregate Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event may the Company issue a Draw Down Notice to the
extent that the sale of Shares pursuant thereto and pursuant to all prior Draw Down Notices issued pursuant to Section 6.01 would
cause the Company to sell or the Purchaser to purchase an aggregate number of Shares exceeding the Aggregate Limit. If the Company issues
a Draw Down Notice that otherwise would permit the Purchaser to purchase a number of Shares which would cause the aggregate purchases
by Purchaser hereunder to exceed the Aggregate Limit, such Draw Down Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent by which
number of Shares issuable pursuant to such Draw Down Notice, together with the number of Shares purchased by the Purchaser pursuant hereto,
would exceed the Aggregate Limit.
ARTICLE VII
TERMINATION
Section 7.01
Term, Termination by Mutual Consent. Unless earlier terminated as provided hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate automatically
on the earliest of (i) thirty-six (36) consecutive months from the Effective Date (the “Investment Period”); and
(ii) the date the Purchaser shall have purchased the Aggregate Limit. This Agreement may be terminated immediately at any time by
mutual written consent of the Parties, effective as of the date of such mutual written consent unless otherwise provided in such written
consent; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not terminate until the Company has delivered to the Purchaser the number
of Shares required to be delivered hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof, if any.
Section 7.02
Effect of Termination. In the event of termination by the Company or the Purchaser, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
shall be terminated without further action by either party, it being understood that the Warrant and Registration Rights Agreement shall
not terminate and shall continue to survive in accordance with their respective terms. If this Agreement is terminated as provided in
Section 7.01 herein, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, except as provided in Section 9.09
hereof.
ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 8.01
General Indemnity.
(a) Indemnification
by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each Person who controls the Purchaser within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys’ fees) to which
the Purchaser and each such controlling Person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar
as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) (collectively,
“Losses,” and each, a “Loss”) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained, or incorporated by reference, in the Registration Statement relating to the
Shares being sold to the Purchaser (including any prospectus relating thereto), or any amendment or supplement to it, (ii) the
omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement or any document incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or
(iii) breach of representation, warranty or covenant of the Company contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document, including a failure to deliver the Shares to the Purchaser by the deadline set forth in herein, whether or not such Losses
are a result of a claim by a third party. Pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof, the Company will reimburse the Purchaser and
each such controlling Person promptly upon demand for any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by the Purchaser or
such controlling Person in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any such Loss.
(b)
Indemnification by the Purchaser. The Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers,
and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of
the Exchange Act from and against any Losses that arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement,
omission or alleged omission, included in the Registration Statement in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished
by the Purchaser to the Company for inclusion in the Registration Statement, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the
Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the
extent, but only to the extent, the untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon,
and in conformity with, written information furnished by the Purchaser to the Company for inclusion in the Registration Statement, whether
or not such Losses are as a result of a claim by a third party; or (iii) breach of representation, warranty or covenant of the Company
contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof, the Purchaser will reimburse
the Company and each such director, officer or controlling Person promptly upon demand for any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably
incurred by the Company or the other Person in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any such Loss.
Section 8.02 Indemnification
Procedures. Promptly after a Person receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the Person intends
to seek indemnification under Section 8.01, the Person will notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or
commencement of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the indemnifying party will not
relieve the indemnifying party from liability under Section 8.01, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the
failure to give notice. The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or
proceeding as to which indemnification is being sought, and if the indemnifying party acknowledges in writing the obligation to
indemnify the party against whom the claim or action is brought, the indemnifying party may (but will not be required to) assume the
defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel satisfactory to it. After an indemnifying party notifies an
indemnified party that the indemnifying party wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying
party will not be liable for any legal or other expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense against
the claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnifying party, one or more of the
indemnified parties should be separately represented in connection with a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party
will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties. Each indemnified party, as a
condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Section 8.01, will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the
indemnifying party in the defense of any action or claim as to which indemnification is sought. No indemnifying party will be liable
for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent. No indemnifying party will, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened action with respect to which an indemnified party
is, or is informed that it may be, made a party, and for which it would be entitled to indemnification, unless the settlement
includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability and claims which are the subject matter of the pending
or threatened action. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is not available to, or is not sufficient
to hold harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any loss or liability referred to in Section 8.01 as to which it is
entitled to indemnification thereunder, each indemnifying party will, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, contribute to
the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss or liability, (i) in the proportion which is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and by the indemnified party on the
other from the sale of the Shares which is the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding which resulted in the loss or
liability or (ii) if that allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only the relative benefits of the sale of such Shares, but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party with respect to the statements or omissions which are the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding that resulted in
the loss or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
ARTICLE IX

(including the Warrant) shall be automatically assigned to the Successor Company, and the Parties agree that the terms of this Agreement

the Company may not issue a press release or otherwise make a public statement or announcement with respect to this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the existence of this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document (including, without limitation, by filing a copy thereof with the Commission). In the event that the Company is required by applicable

on the form and substance of such press release or other disclosure.
Section 9.12

to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document. Each Party
hereby expressly agrees that, in the event that any action or determination of the Commission or other regulatory or governmental authority,
or the refusal or failure of any other governmental approval, would or does prohibit or otherwise materially interfere with the ability
of the Parties to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the manner contemplated by and described in it, each such
Party shall use its good-faith best efforts to resolve and cure such condition, including, without limitation, by amending this Agreement
to the extent necessary therefor. In addition, each Party acknowledges that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been

the Commission pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Act. In the event that the Principal Market is not a U.S. stock exchange,
then the Parties will negotiate in good faith to amend the Transaction Documents to effect the economic consequences thereof while preserving
each of their rights and obligations.

2. Registration.
(a) Mandatory
Registration. The Company shall prepare and, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Filing Deadline, file with the
Commission an initial Registration Statement on Form S-1, F-1, S-3 or F-3, or such other form or forms as may be reasonably acceptable
to the Investor and Legal Counsel, covering the resale by the Investor of Registrable Securities. The Registration Statement shall register
with the Commission for resale all of the Registrable Securities, subject to the provisions of Section 2(f) herein. The Investor and Legal
Counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement or amendment to such Registration Statement
and any related prospectus prior to its filing with the Commission. The Investor shall furnish all information reasonably requested by
the Company for inclusion therein. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement or amendment declared
effective by the Commission prior to the Effectiveness Deadline. Subject to Allowable Grace Periods (as defined herein below), the Company
shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act
and available for sales of all of the Registrable Securities at all times until the date as of which the Investor no longer owns any Registrable
Securities (the “Registration Period”). The Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto
and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state 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.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, in addition to any other remedies available at law or equity or as set forth herein,
in the Purchase Agreement or otherwise, if (i) the Company shall have failed to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline
or (ii) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Effectiveness Deadline, in each case, for any reason or no reason,
then the Company shall pay to Purchaser or its designee an amount equal to $1,000 for each day following the Filing Deadline or Effectiveness
Deadline, as applicable, until the Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission or the Registration Statement has been declared
effective, as applicable.
(b) Rule
424 Prospectus. The Company shall, as required by applicable securities regulations, from time to time file with the Commission, pursuant
to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, the prospectus, amendments and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used in connection
with offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. The Investor and Legal Counsel shall have a reasonable
opportunity to review and comment upon such prospectus prior to its filing with the Commission. The Investor shall use its reasonable
best efforts to comment upon such prospectus within two Trading Days from the date the Investor receives the proposed final version of
such prospectus.
(c) Sufficient
Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under the Registration Statement is insufficient to cover
all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall file one or more additional Registration Statements (each a “New Registration
Statement”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities as soon as practicable, but in any case not later than twenty
(20) Trading Days after the Company becomes aware of the necessity therefor, subject to the provisions of Section 2(f) herein. The Company
shall use it reasonable best efforts to cause each such New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following
the filing thereof.
(d) Piggyback
Registrations. Without limiting any of the Company’s obligations hereunder or under the Purchase Agreement, if there is not
an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with
the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act
of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-8 (as promulgated under the Securities Act) or its equivalent relating to equity
securities to be issued solely in connection with equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s option or other employee
benefit plans), then the Company shall deliver to the Investor a written notice of such determination and, if within five days after the
date of the delivery of such notice, the Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement
all or any part of such Registrable Securities the offer and sale of which the Investor requests to be registered.
(e) No
Inclusion of Other Securities. In no event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration
Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(c) without the prior written consent of the Investor.
(f) Offering.
If the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) or the Commission seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration
Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration Statement
to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market
prices (and not fixed prices) (or as otherwise may be acceptable to the Investor), or if after the filing of the initial Registration
Statement with the Commission pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company is otherwise required by the Staff or the Commission
to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such initial Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number
of Registrable Securities to be included in such initial Registration Statement (with the prior consent of the Investor and Legal Counsel
as to the specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, denied,
or conditioned) until such time as the Staff and the Commission shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be
used as aforesaid. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if after giving effect to the actions referred to in the
immediately preceding sentence, the Staff or the Commission does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used
for resales by the Investor on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices) (or
as otherwise may be acceptable to the Investor), the Company shall not request acceleration of the Effective Date of such Registration
Statement and, in its sole and absolute discretion, may take such steps as may be required for such Registration Statement to become effective
pursuant to Section 8 of the Securities Act. If not, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 48 hours) request the
withdrawal of such Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act, and the Effectiveness Deadline shall automatically
be deemed to have elapsed with respect to such Registration Statement at such time as the Staff or the Commission has made a final and
non-appealable determination that the Commission will not permit such Registration Statement to be so utilized (unless prior to such time
the Company and the Investor have received assurances from the Staff or the Commission reasonably acceptable to Legal Counsel that a new
Registration Statement filed by the Company with the Commission promptly thereafter may be so utilized). In the event of any reduction
in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall file additional Registration Statements in accordance with Section
2(c) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective
and the prospectus contained therein is available for use by the Investor.
3. Related
Obligations. With respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant
to Section 2 including on any New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect
the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the
Company shall have the following obligations:
(a) The
Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to any registration
statement and any prospectus and prospectus supplement used in connection with such registration statement, which prospectus is to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any New
Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement or any
New Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such registration statement.
(b) The
Company shall permit the Investor to review and comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and all amendments
and supplements thereto at least two Trading Days prior to their filing with the Commission, and not file any document in a form to which
Investor reasonably objects. The Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon the Registration Statement or any New
Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto within two (2) Trading Days from the date the Investor receives the final
version thereof. The Company shall furnish to the Investor, without charge, any correspondence from the Commission or the staff of the
Commission to the Company or its representatives relating to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement.
(c) Upon
request of the Investor, the Company shall furnish to the Investor, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the Commission,
at least one copy of such registration statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents
incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits; (ii) upon the effectiveness of any registration statement, a copy of the prospectus
included in such registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Investor may
reasonably request); and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the Investor may
reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor. For the
avoidance of doubt, any filing available to the Investor via the Commission’s live EDGAR system shall be deemed “furnished
to the Investor” hereunder.
(d) The
Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement
under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investor reasonably requests;
(ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations
and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period; (iii) take such other
actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period; and
(iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify
to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d),
(y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any
such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify the Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the
securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
(e) As
promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the happening
of any event or existence of such facts as a result of which the prospectus included in any registration statement, as then in effect,
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment
to such registration statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy of such supplement or amendment to the
Investor (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify the Investor
in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a registration
statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor
by email on the same day of such effectiveness); (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any registration
statement or related prospectus or related information; and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective
amendment to a registration statement would be appropriate.
(f) The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any registration
statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or
suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor
of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding
for such purpose.
(g) The
Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class
or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules
of such exchange; or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the Principal Market. The Company
shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section.
(h) Upon
the Investor’s written request, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to any registration
statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts as the Investor may reasonably request and registered in
such names as the Investor may request.
(i) The
Company shall at all times maintain the services of a transfer agent and registrar with respect to its Common Shares.
(j) If
reasonably requested by the Investor, the Company shall (i) promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
such information as the Investor reasonably believes should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities,
including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold, the purchase price being paid
therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement
or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement
or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any registration statement.
(k) The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by any registration statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.
(l) Within
three Trading Days after any registration statement which includes the Registrable Securities is declared effective by the Commission,
the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities
(with copies to the Investor) confirmation that such registration statement has been declared effective by the Commission in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(m) The
Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of Registrable Securities
pursuant to any registration statement, including participating in customary due diligence sessions with underwriters of the Registrable
Securities (in the case of an underwritten offering) and engaging counsel and independent auditors to provide customary legal opinions
(including disclosure letters) and comfort letters, respectively.
(n) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 3(n)), at any time after the Effective
Date of a particular Registration Statement, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good-faith opinion of the board of directors of the Company,
in the best interest of the Company, nor, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a “Grace Period”);
provided, however, that the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Trading
Day immediately prior to the commencement of any Grace Period (except for such case where it is impossible to provide such two-Trading
Day advance notice, in which case the Company shall provide such notice as soon as possible), notify the Investor in writing of the (i) existence
of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each such notice the Company shall not disclose the
content of such material, non-public information to the Investor) and the date on which such Grace Period will begin and (ii) date
on which such Grace Period ends; provided, further, that (I) no Grace Period shall exceed 20 consecutive Trading Days, and
during any 365-day period, all such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of 60 Trading Days; provided, further, that the
Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other shareholder during any such Grace Period, (II) the
first day of any Grace Period must be at least three Trading Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Parties) after the last
day of any prior Grace Period and (III) no Grace Period may exist during (A) the first 10 consecutive Trading Days after the
Effective Date of the particular Registration Statement or (B) the five-Trading Day period following each Settlement Date (each,
an “Allowable Grace Period”). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, such Grace Period shall
begin on and include the date set forth in the notice referred to in clause (i) above, provided that such notice is received by the Investor
not later than 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Trading Day immediately prior to such commencement date (except for such case
where it is impossible to provide such two-Trading Day advance notice, in which case the Company shall provide such notice as soon as
possible) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investor receives the notice referred to in clause (ii) above and the
date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 3(j) hereof shall not be applicable during the period
of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of each Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(e)
with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3(n), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended
Common Shares to a transferee of the Investor in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable
Securities with respect to which the Investor has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as
part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable, prior to the Investor’s receipt of the notice of a Grace
Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.
4. Obligations
of the Investor.
(a) At
least five Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of each Registration Statement, the Company shall notify the Investor
in writing of the information the Company reasonably requires from the Investor in connection with any registration statement hereunder.
The Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method
of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable
Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.
(b) The
Investor, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company
in connection with the preparation and filing of each Registration Statement hereunder, unless the Investor has notified the Company in
writing of the Investor’s election to exclude all of the Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
(c) The
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event or existence of facts of the kind described
in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e), the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition
of Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s receipt
of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to promptly deliver Common Shares without any restrictive
legend in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which
an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of
any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e) and for which
the Investor has not yet settled.
5. Expenses
and Fees.
(a) All
reasonable expenses, other than sales or brokerage commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant
to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting
fees, FINRA filing fees (if any) and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, if any, shall be paid by the Company.
(b) The
Company shall pay the fees and expenses of the Legal Counsel in connection with the review and overseeing the Registration Statement and
all New Registration Statements on Investors’ behalf, subject to a maximum fee of $20,000 per Registration Statement and any New
Registration Statement.
6. Indemnification.
(a) To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each Person,
if any, who controls the Investor, the members, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives
of the Investor and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, contingencies, costs (including, without limitation, court costs,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of defense and investigation), attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses,
joint or several (collectively, “Claims”), incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit,
inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other
regulatory agency, body or the Commission, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto,
whether or not arising from a claim by a third party (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject
insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement
or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities
or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered, or the omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the any prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files
any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the Commission) or in any prospectus supplement or the omission or alleged omission to
state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements
therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act,
any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or
sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement or (iv) any material
violation by the Company of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”).
The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable
legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section (a): (i) shall
not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity
with information about the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with
the preparation of the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if
such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); (ii) with
respect to any superseded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim
purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue
statement or omission of material fact contained in the superseded prospectus was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then amended
or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e),
and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation
and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based
on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was
timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made
by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.
(b) In
connection with the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify,
hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company,
each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each Person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person,
an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation,
in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
about the Investor furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration statement; and, subject
to Section 6(d), the Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b)
and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of
any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a
Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant
to such registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf
of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any
action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6 deliver to the
indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and,
to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the
defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the
case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel
with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying
party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by
such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection
with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all
information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying
party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement
negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected
without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent.
No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification
as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with
respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying
party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that
the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(d) The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course
of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.
(e) The
indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant
to the law.
7. Contribution.
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the
maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest
extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities
who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited
in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
8. Reports
and Disclosures under the Securities Acts.
With a view to making available
to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees, at the Company’s sole expense, to:
(a) make
and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) file
with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the
applicable provisions of Rule 144;
(c) furnish
to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company
that it has complied with the reporting and/ or disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a
copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such
other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration
(for the avoidance of doubt, any filing available to the Investor via the Commission’s live EDGAR system shall be deemed “furnished
to the Investor” hereunder); and
(d) take
such additional action as is requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144,
including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Company’s
transfer agent as may be requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise reasonably cooperate with Investor and Investor’s
broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.
The Company agrees that damages
may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Section 8 and that Investor shall, whether
or not it is pursuing any remedies at law, be entitled to equitable relief in the form of a preliminary or permanent injunction, without
having to post any bond or other security, upon any breach or threatened breach of any such terms or provisions. Investor agrees that
the Rule 144 rights under this Agreement are subject to the delivery by the Investor of a bona fide fair market offer for a licensing
or funding opportunity pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
9. Assignment
of Registration Rights. None of the Parties may assign this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to any Person without
the prior consent of the others; provided that without the consent of the other, (i) the Company may assign its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and other Transaction Documents to the Successor Company; (ii) the Purchaser may assign its rights
and obligations under this agreement to an Affiliate of the Purchaser. In the event of a Reverse Merger Transaction, the Company’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be automatically assigned to the Successor Company, and the Parties agree that the terms
of this Agreement shall be construed to give effect to such assignment.
10. Amendment
of Registration Rights. Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally
or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the mutual written consent of the Company and the Investor.
Failure of any Party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a Party in exercising such right or
remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.
11. Miscellaneous.
(a) A
Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities.
If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities,
the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.
(b) Any
notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing

Re: ZHIBAO TECHNOLOGY INC.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are counsel to ZHIBAO TECHNOLOGY INC., an exempted
company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands whose registered office is at Floor 3, Building 6, Wuxing Road, Lane 727 Pudong

(the “Shares”).
Pursuant to the Offering, the Company also has
entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which
the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under
the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________ ____, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form ________ (File No. 333-_____________)
(the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating
to the Registrable Securities which names the Investor as a selling shareholder thereunder.
In connection with the foregoing,
we advise you that a member of the Commission’s staff has advised us by ____________ that the Commission has entered an order declaring
the Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS], and we
have no knowledge that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending
before, or threatened by, the Commission. Thus, the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the Securities Act pursuant
to the Registration Statement.

Very truly yours, |

Exhibit 10.3
WAIVER AGREEMENT
This
Waiver Agreement (this “Waiver”), dated as of December 16, 2024, is made by and between Zhibao Technology Inc., a Cayman
Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and ___________ (the “Holder”).
WHEREAS, the Company and the
Holder entered into that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 23, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”)
pursuant to which the Company issued Notes and Warrants to the Holder; and
Article
I
WHEREAS, the Company is contemplating
engaging in an equity line of credit for gross proceeds of up to $50 million pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-3 or Form
F-1 to be filed with and declared effective by the SEC (the “Subsequent Offering”); and
WHEREAS, the Subsequent Offering
would violate or result in a breach, default or Event of Default under certain provisions of the Purchase Agreement and other Transaction
Documents, and the Holder has determined to waive such provisions solely as it relates to the Subsequent Offering in exchange for the
consideration and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Waiver.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the premises set forth above and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions.
Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Waiver shall have the respective meanings given them in the Purchase Agreement and, if
not defined therein, in the other Transaction Documents.
2. Waiver.
The Holder hereby agrees to waive, solely with respect to the Subsequent Offering and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Waiver, the provisions of the Transaction Documents which would otherwise preclude the Subsequent Offering or constitute an Event
of Default, breach or default under the Transaction Documents by the Company, or which would otherwise confer rights to the Holder in
connection with the Subsequent Offering, including Sections 2.1(u) and 4.1(q) of the Note and Sections 4.12 and 4.13 of the Purchase Agreement.
Provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the adjustment provisions of the Notes and Warrants shall continue
to apply with respect to the Subsequent Offering.
3. Conditions
to and Covenants for Waiver. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Waiver is subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i) in consideration for and as a condition precedent to this Waiver, the Company shall issue to the Holder a Warrant to purchase 240,000
shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price that will equal 120% of the average of the three daily VWAPs as of the
Trading Day immediately preceding the date of this Waiver, subject to adjustment as provided therein, which Warrant shall be substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit A and the underlying shares of Common Stock of which shall be deemed to be “Registrable Securities”
and afforded the registration rights provided for under the Registration Rights Agreement (“RRA”) and the Purchase
Agreement; (ii) the Company shall enter into a definitive written agreement with the counterparty for the Subsequent Offering (the “Subsequent
Agreement”), which Subsequent Agreement shall (A) not contain any prohibition, limitation, condition or other term or provision
affecting the Company or any Subsidiary’s ability to pursue or consummate a Variable Rate Transaction or similar transaction or
which would otherwise prohibit, prevent or affect the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and (B) not confer on the
counterparty or any other Person participation rights or similar rights with respect to any financing transaction by the Company or any
Subsidiary occurring after the date of the Subsequent Agreement. If a Registration Statement (as defined in the RRA) including the shares
of Common Stock underlying the Warrants issued hereunder and the Warrants issued in the final First Tranche Closing (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement) has not been filed with and declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall include such underlying shares in the
registration statement for the Subsequent Offering, which shall not result in a failure of the Company to meet the Filing Date with respect
to such Registrable Securities (as such terms are defined in the RRA) unless such registration statement is not filed on or before January
17, 2024.
4. No
Modifications. In the event of any inconsistency between the Transaction Documents and this Waiver, the terms of this Waiver shall
prevail, provided that except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Waiver, nothing contained in this Waiver shall be deemed
or construed to amend, supplement or modify the Transaction Documents or otherwise affect the rights and obligations of any party thereto,
all of which remain in full force and effect.
5. Governing
Law. Section 5.9 (Governing Law) of the Purchase Agreement between the parties hereto shall be applicable to this Waiver
6. SEC
Disclosure. Immediately after execution of this letter agreement, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 6-K with the Securities
and Exchange Commission disclosing the execution of this letter agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, which Form 6-K shall
be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement. At such time, the Holder will not be in position of material non-public
information.
7. Counterparts.
This Waiver may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement, and any party hereto
may execute this Waiver by signing and delivering one or more counterparts. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Waiver electronically
or by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Waiver.
