1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
See
Item 3.02 below,
Item
3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On
July 7, 2023, Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) completed entering into subscription agreements with certain
accredited investors (“Subscription Agreement”), whereby the Company issued a total of 40 units (“Units”),
with each Unit consisting of (i) one convertible promissory note issued by the Company (the “Note”), convertible into
up to 250,000 shares of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“the Company’s
Common Stock”), at a conversion price of $0.10 per Company’s Common Stock; and (iii) 250,000 warrants (the “Warrants”)
to purchase an equivalent number of shares of Company Common Stock at $0.12 per share (the “Financing”).
The
Company converted the debt of 15 accredited investors into the current Subscription Agreements, which resulted in conversion of $1.0
million of debt to the Company. Placement agent fees of $150,000 were paid to JH Darbie & Co., Inc. (“JH Darbie”).
On May 26, 2023, the Company paid JH Darbie an advance for processing the first tranche of the Financing and the
balance of their fees on July 7, 2023, when the Financing was closed. JH Darbie and the Company are parties to a placement agent agreement, dated March 10, 2023 (“Agreement”)
pursuant to which DH Darbie has the right to sell a minimum of 10 Units and a maximum of 200 Units on a best efforts basis. The issuance
of the Units on July 07, 2023 represented the first two tranches of the Financing (“Tranche 1 & 2”).
In
connection with the consummation of Tranche 1 & 2, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement granting certain registration
rights with respect to the shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued in connection with the Financing, as well as the shares
of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.
The
issuance of the Units is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”),
in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as provided in Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
The shares of Common Stock and Warrants and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, have not been registered
under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United
States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The
foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement, Agreement, Warrants, Notes and Registration Rights Agreement are summaries, and
are qualified by reference to such documents, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5, respectively.

Re:
Subscription to Purchase Units of Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc.
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
This
Subscription Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) is being delivered to the purchaser identified on the signature
page to this Agreement (the “Undersigned” or “Subscriber”) in connection with its investment in
the securities of Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Company is conducting
a private placement (the “Offering”) of a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 200 Units (the “Units”),
each of which consists of one note issued by the Company (a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”),
in the principal amount of $25,000.00 for a period of 2 years from the date of final closing of the Offering, bearing annual interest
at the rate of 16%. Each Note will be convertible into 250,000 shares of Oncotelic’s Common Stock (conversion price $0.10 per share),
subject to applicable anti dilution provisions. Each Unit will also consist of 250,000 (the “Warrants”), each to purchase
one share of Oncotelic’s Common Stock at $0.12 per share. The exercise price of each Warrant will be subject to applicable anti
dilution provisions set forth therein and, except as set forth in the next succeeding sentence, each Warrant will be exercisable for
two years after issuance.
This
will acknowledge that the Subscriber hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase from the Company Unit(s) as set forth in the Subscription
Signature Section below in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement and Investment Letter (the “Subscription
Agreement”) and pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Confidential Offering Memorandum dated April 14, 2023,
including Appendices attached thereto (the “Memorandum”).
1.
TermsoftheOffering.
The
Offering is being made on a “best efforts, all or none” basis with respect to the first 10 Units, and, thereafter, on a “best
efforts only” basis until the remaining 190 Units are sold, the Company terminates the Offering, which it can do in its complete
discretion at any time, or the Offering Period, as hereinafter defined, expires, whichever occurs first (the “Termination Date”).
Unless at least 10 Units (the “Minimum”) are sold on or before 5:00 p.m., EST, on December 31, 2023, (the “Expiration
Date”) if extended by the Company and the Placement Agent (the “Offering Period”) and paid for with collected
funds received in escrow as noted in the next succeeding paragraph within two Business Days thereafter, the Offering will terminate and
all funds collected from subscribers will be promptly returned to them without interest thereon or deduction therefrom. A “Business
Day” means any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day that shall be a federal legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions
in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close. Persons affiliated and/or otherwise
related to the Company may purchase Units in the Offering and the Units purchased by them will be included in the number of Units needed
to satisfy the Minimum. The Placement Agent and persons affiliated with it also may purchase Units in the Offering but the Units purchased
by them will not be included in the number of Units needed to satisfy the Minimum.
Because
the Minimum of 10 Units must be sold in order to make the Offering effective, all funds received will be held in escrow with UMB Bank,
N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”). No funds will be remitted to the Company until at least 10 Units have been sold and paid
for. Thereafter, funds will continue to be held in escrow and released to the Company at each subsequent closing, which shall be at the
discretion of the Company and the Placement Agent and which shall occur on the earlier of December 31,, 2023, which date may be extended
to June 30, 2024, by agreement between the Company and the Placement Agent, or when all 200 Units on an accumulative basis have been
sold and paid for (each a “Closing” and, collectively, the “Closings”) against delivery of the
appropriate number of subscribed Units. Each Closing of the purchase and sale of the Units following acceptance by the Company of subscriptions,
as evidenced by the Company’s execution of the applicable Subscription Agreements, shall take place at the Placement Agent’s
offices, or such other place as the Placement Agent and the Company shall determine, on such date as the Placement Agent and the Company
shall determine. The date on which a Closing is consummated is the “ClosingDate.”
The
Offering is being made only to “accredited investors” as defined under Regulation D under the Securities Act and up to 35
non-accredited investors. It is being conducted pursuant to the exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act set
forth in Section 4(a)(2) thereof and applicable Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder, including Rule 506(b) of Regulation D.
Section 4(a)(2) requires, among other things, that each purchaser acquire the Units, and Notes, Common Stock and Warrants which are a
part thereof, and the Common Stock underlying the Notes and the Warrants (collectively, the “UnderlyingSecurities”)
with investment intent and not with a view to distribution. The Units being offered hereby and the Underlying Securities will be “restricted
securities” under the Securities Act and may not be resold publicly except in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated thereunder or
unless subsequently registered.
Although
the Common Stock is traded on the OTCQB Marketplace under the symbol “OTLC,” there is no public market for the Units, the
Notes or the Warrants and it is not anticipated that a public trading market for them will ever develop.
As
set forth above, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Commission covering the Underlying Securities, but
cannot assure that such a filing will be made or, if it is, that it will be declared effective by the Commission. In the event, however,
that the registration statement is declared effective, the Company cannot assure that the Underlying Securities will be readily tradable.
ACCORDINGLY,
THE UNDERSIGNED UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, EVEN AFTER THE TERMINATION OF THE RESALE RESTRICTION PERIODS ON THE UNITS AND THE
UNDERLYING SECURITIES, AND/OR THE UNDERLYING SECURITIES ARE REGISTERED, SHE/HE MAY BE UNABLE TO RESELL THESE SECURITIES FOR A SIGNIFICANT
PERIOD OF TIME, IF EVER.
Execution
of this Subscription Agreement shall constitute an offer by the Undersigned to purchase the number of Units set forth in the Subscription
Signature Section below on the terms specified herein. If the Undersigned’s offer is accepted, the Company will execute a copy
of the Signature Section and return it to the Undersigned.
2.
ThePlacementAgent.
The
Placement Agent, a member firm of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), is acting as the exclusive
placement agent for the Company in placing this Offering. If all of the Units are sold, the Company will receive gross proceeds of $5,000,000
less the expenses of this Offering. Management estimates that these expenses, including the fee and expense allowance payable to the
Placement Agent described below, will be approximately $35,000.
The
Placement Agent will receive a fee equal to 2%, due diligence fee of up to $25,000, and will also reimburse the Placement Agent for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent in performing its services hereunder, including reasonable attorney’s fees
incurred by the Placement Agent in connection with a Placement in an amount not to exceed $25,000. The Company will also grant to the
Placement Agent, a warrant, exercisable over a five- year period commencing on the final Closing Date of the Offering, to purchase such
number of Units, including the Notes and the Warrants included therein, as shall equal 10% of the number of Units sold in the Offering
at an exercise price equal to 100% of the Unit offering price.
The
undersigned understands that, except as may be required by applicable regulations of FINRA, the Placement Agent has not independently
verified the information provided to her/him with respect to the Company. Accordingly, there is no representation by the Placement Agent
as to the completeness or accuracy of such information.
3.
SuitabilityRequirements;Transferability.
An
investment in the Company involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for those qualified persons who have substantial financial
resources and who, alone or together with their purchaser representatives (see the definition below), have such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing the Units. Satisfaction of these
suitability standards by a person does not represent a determination by the Company that the Units are a suitable investment for such
person. Each person must consult such person’s own professional advisors in order to determine the suitability of the investment.
The Company may make or cause to be made such further inquiry and obtain such additional information as it deems appropriate with regard
to the suitability of prospective investors.
The
Undersigned must complete, sign and return a Purchaser Questionnaire to the Company in order to assist it in determining whether the
Undersigned is an accredited or sophisticated investor and satisfies the minimum suitability requirements. The form of Purchaser Questionnaire
is attached to the Confidential Offering Memorandum as Appendix E.
The
term “purchaser representative” means any person who satisfies all of the following conditions or who the Company reasonably
believes satisfies all of the following conditions:
(a)
she/he is not an affiliate, director, officer or other employee of the Company or beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of the
Company’s equity securities, except where the purchaser is:
(i)
A relative of the purchaser representative by blood, marriage or adoption and not more remote than a first cousin;
(ii)
A trust or estate in which the purchaser representative and any persons related to her/him as specified in Paragraph (h)(1)(i) or (h)(1)(iii)
of Rule 501 under Regulation D, collectively have more than 50 percent of the beneficial interest (excluding contingent interest) or
of which the purchaser representative serves as trustee, executor, or in any similar capacity; or
(iii)
A corporation or other organization of which the purchaser representative and any persons related to her/him as specified in Paragraph
(h)(1)(i) or (h)(1)(ii) of Rule 501, collectively are the beneficial owners of more than 50 percent of the equity securities (excluding
directors’ qualifying shares) or equity interests;
(b)
she/he has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that she/he is capable of evaluating, alone, or together with
other purchaser representatives of the purchaser or together with the purchaser, the merits and risks of the prospective investment;
(c)
she/he is acknowledged by the purchaser in writing, during the course of the transaction, to be her/his purchaser representative in connection
with evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment; and
(d)
she/he discloses to the purchaser in writing prior to the acknowledgment specified in Paragraph (h)(3) of Rule 501, any material relationship
between herself/himself or her/his affiliates and the Company or its affiliates that then exists, that is mutually understood to be contemplated
or that has existed at any time during the previous two years and any compensation received or to be received as a result of such relationship.
If
the Undersigned is using a purchaser representative, the purchaser representative must complete, execute and return a Purchaser Representative’s
Questionnaire to the Company. A form of Purchaser Representative’s Questionnaire is attached to the Confidential Offering Memorandum
as Appendix F.
4.

has the right to accept or reject this Subscription Agreement in whole or in part and accept Subscription Agreements other than in the

5.
The Company’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Company represents, warrants and covenants to the Undersigned
and the Placement Agent that:
(a)
Subsidiaries. The Company has no direct or indirect subsidiaries other than those set forth in the SEC Documents, as defined below
in Subsection5(e), (individually a “Subsidiary” and, collectively, the “Subsidiaries”).
Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock of each Subsidiary free
and clear of any and all liens, charges, encumbrances, security interests, rights of first refusal or other restrictions of any kind
(each a “Lien” and, collectively, “Liens”), and all the issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid, non- assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights.
(b)
Organization and Qualification. Each of the Company and each Subsidiary is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as applicable), with the
requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws
or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and each Subsidiary is duly qualified to conduct business and is in
good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property
owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be,
could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in (i) an adverse effect on the legality, validity
or enforceability of any agreement or other document executed by the Company relating to the Offering (each a “TransactionDocument”
and, collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), (ii) a material and adverse effect on the results of operations,
assets, prospects, business or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) an
adverse impairment to the Company’s ability to perform on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of
(i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material AdverseEffect”).
(c)
Authorization;Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery of
each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and no further corporate action is required by the Company in connection
therewith. Each Transaction Document has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance
with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms, except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or the public policy
underlying such laws, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar
laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(d)
No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the
Company of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s
or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict
with, or constitute a default (or an event that 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 (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement,
credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the
Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii)
result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental
authority to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which
any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such
as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(e)
RepresentationsandWarrantiesrelatingtotheSECDocuments. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other
documents (collectively, the “SEC Documents”) required to be filed by it with the Commission pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “ExchangeAct”), in a timely manner within the past three years. The SEC Documents have complied
in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder
applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the Commission, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, to the best of the Company’s
knowledge during those respective dates, the Company’s financial statements included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in
all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission with respect
thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
as in effect from time to time, consistently applied (“GAAP”), during the periods involved (except (a) as may be otherwise
indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (b) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may
exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial
condition as of the respective dates thereof and the results of the Company’s operations and cash flows for the respective periods
then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). The Company has not received notification
from the Commission, and/or any federal or state securities bureaus that any investigation (informal or formal), inquiry or claim is
pending, threatened or in process against the Company and/or relating to any of its securities.
(f)
MaterialChanges. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Documents, except as specifically
disclosed in the SEC Documents, (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development that has had or is reasonably likely to result
in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables
and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, and (B) liabilities not required to be
reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to GAAP or required to be disclosed in filings made with the Commission,
(iii) the Company has not altered its method of accounting or the identity of its auditors, (iv) the Company has not declared or made
any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase
or redeem any shares of its capital stock, and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities to any officer, director or affiliate,
except pursuant to existing Company stock option or stock purchase plans or disclosed in SEC Documents. Except as specified in the SEC
Documents, the Company does not have pending before the Commission any request for confidential treatment of information.
(g)
Litigation. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, (i) there is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding (including
any partial proceeding such as a deposition) or investigation pending or threatened in writing against or affecting the Company, any
Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before or by any court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency, regulatory
authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign), stock market, stock exchange or trading facility (individually an “Action”
and, collectively, “Actions”), which (A) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability
of any of the Transaction Documents or the Units or Underlying Securities or (B) could, if there were an unfavorable decision, individually
or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary,
nor any director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal
or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, and (iii) there has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there
is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer
of the Company. The Commission has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement
filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.
(h)
EmploymentMatters. The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations
respecting employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours except where failure to be in
compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is bound by or subject to (and none of the
Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ assets or properties are bound by or subject to) any written or oral, express or implied,
contract, commitment or arrangement with any labor union, and no labor union has requested or, to the Company’s knowledge, has
sought to represent any of the employees, representatives or agents of the Company or the Subsidiaries. There is no strike or other material

The
undersigned (the “Undersigned” or “Subscriber”) hereby purchases Units from Oncotelic Therapeutics,
Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement dated ,
2023 (the “SubscriptionAgreement”) of which this Subscription Signature Section is a part. All terms in this Subscription
Signature Section have the meanings defined elsewhere in this Subscription Agreement.
SubscriberRepresentations.
The
Subscriber hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Company as follows:
(a)
The Subscriber is acquiring the Units and Underlying Securities for the Subscriber’s own account as principal for investment and
not with a view to resale, distribution or fractionalization in whole or in part, and has no current agreement, understanding or arrangement
to subdivide, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Units and/or Underlying Securities and understands that there
is no public market for the Units, the Notes or the Warrants, and, none is expected to develop in the foreseeable future, if ever. She/he
does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person
or to any third Person, with respect to the Units and/or Underlying Securities for which she/he is subscribing.
(b)
The Units and Underlying Securities that the Subscriber is purchasing and the Underlying Securities into which the Notes may be converted
and the Warrants may be exercised have not been registered under the Securities Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws
and the registration provisions of the Securities Act as well as the qualification provisions of such state laws thereof restrict their
transferability. Based upon the representations and agreements being made by her/him herein, the Subscriber acknowledges that the offering
and sale of the Units are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof and applicable
Rules and Regulations adopted thereunder, and that:
1.
the Undersigned’s Units and Underlying Securities cannot be sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently
registered under the Securities Act and/or qualified under applicable state securities laws or, in the reasonable opinion of the Company’s
counsel, an exemption from such registration and/or qualification is available;
2.
Sales or transfers of the Undersigned’s Units and Underlying Securities are further restricted by the provisions of state securities
laws;
3.
the Company is under no obligation to assist the Undersigned in complying with any exemption from registration under the Securities Act
or qualification under any state securities law, or, except as may be provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, to register the
Units or Underlying Securities on the Undersigned’s behalf;
4.
the certificates or other documentation representing the Undersigned’s Underlying Securities will bear, in substance, the following
legend:
These
securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. They may not be sold or transferred in the absence of an effective
Registration Statement under that Act without an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such Registration is not required.;
5.
the Company will place stop-transfer instructions on its books and with the transfer agent of its securities with respect to the Units
and Underlying Securities registered in the name of the Undersigned or beneficially owned by her/him.
The
Undersigned further acknowledges that the basis for these exemptions may not be available if, notwithstanding such representations, she/he
only intends to hold these securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or until the market price rises or falls and
she/he hereby represents and warrants that she/he does not have any such intention.
(c)
The Subscriber: (A) by herself/himself or together with her/his Purchaser Representative, if any, has such knowledge and experience in
financial, business and tax matters that she/he is capable of evaluating the merits of the prospective purchase of the Units and making
an investment decision with respect to the Company ; (B) has had substantial experience in previous private and public purchases of speculative
securities and is not relying on the Company, the Placement Agent, or any of their respective affiliates or attorneys with respect to
economic, tax or other considerations involved in this investment; and (C) is able to bear the economic risk of this investment (i.e.,
she/he can afford a complete loss of her/his investment). In this regard, her/his overall commitment to investments, which are not readily
marketable, is not disproportionate to her/his net worth, and her/his purchase of the Units will not cause such overall commitment to
become excessive.
(d)
The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that an investment in the Company is speculative and subject to many risks. In this regard,
the Company cannot assure her/him that all of the Units will be sold. Accordingly, the Company’s operations and financial condition
will be adversely affected to the extent that less than all of the Units are sold, especially because it currently has no commitment
for any financing.
(e)
(insert
name of Purchaser Representative: if none, leave blank) has acted as the Undersigned’s Purchaser Representative for purposes of
the private placement exemption under the Securities Act. If the Undersigned has appointed a Purchaser Representative (which term is
used herein with the same meaning as given in Rule 501(h) of Regulation D), she/he has been advised by her/his Purchaser Representative
as to the merits and risks of an investment in the Company in general and the suitability of the Units as an investment for the Undersigned
in particular, and is aware that the Purchaser Representative may be receiving compensation from the Company in connection with the services
being performed by such Purchaser Representative for the Undersigned relating to her/his purchase of the Units.
(f)
If applicable, the Subscriber has reviewed carefully the definition of “accredited investor” as set forth below, and the
particular subparagraph or subparagraphs by which the Undersigned qualifies as such is (are) checked by her/him below.
(g)
The Subscriber has carefully reviewed the Confidential Offering Memorandum dated April 14, 2023 including the Risk Factors section set
forth therein and in the SEC Documents
THE
UNDERSIGNED UNDERSTANDS THAT, BECAUSE OF THE SIGNIFICANT RISK FACTORS SET FORTH IN THE CONFIDENTIAL OFFERING MEMORANDUM AND IN THE SEC
DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RISK FACTORS SET FORTH IN THE DESCRIPTION OF RISK FACTORS DISCLOSED IN THE CONFIDENTIAL OFFERING
MEMORANDUM AND THE SEC DOCUMENTS, IF THE OFFERING IS CONSUMMATED, SHE/HE COULD LOSE HER/HIS ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

successors and assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company [●] duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, at a purchase price equal to $0.12 per share, as may be adjusted pursuant
to the anti-dilution provisions set forth herein (the “WarrantPrice”). The Holder is registered on the records of
the Company regarding registration and transfer of the Warrant (the “Warrant Register”) and is the owner and Holder
thereof for all purposes, except as described in Section13 hereof.
1.
Warrant Exercise. This Warrant shall be immediately exercisable on the date hereof.
2. ExpirationorPartialExpirationofWarrant.
This Warrant shall expire on the earlier of the date that is two years after the final closing date of the Offering or as set forth
in the balance of this Section (the “ExpirationDate”).
3.
ExerciseofWarrant. This Warrant shall be exercisable pursuant
to the terms of Section1 and this Section3 hereof.
3.1
MannerofExercise. This Warrant may only be exercised by the Holder hereof, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof,
in whole or in part with respect to any portion of this Warrant, into shares of Common Stock (the “WarrantShares”),
during normal business hours on any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which commercial banking institutions in New York,
New York are authorized by law to be closed (a “BusinessDay”) on or prior to the Expiration Date with respect to such
portion of this Warrant, by surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its office maintained pursuant to Section 12.2(a) hereof,
accompanied by an exercise notice (the “ExerciseNotice”) in substantially the form attached to this Warrant as ExhibitA
(or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by the Holder, together with the payment of the Warrant Price.
Anything
to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant in excess of that portion
of this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the Holder’s
affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion
of the Warrant or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other of the Company’s securities subject to a limitation on conversion
or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
the portion of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership
by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Ownership Limitation”).
Beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange
Act”), and Regulations 13D - G thereunder; provided, further, that the limitations on exercised may be waived
by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of the
exercise limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be
specified in such notice of waiver).
3.2
WhenExerciseEffective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business
on the Business Day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3.1 hereof, and, at
such time, the corporation, association, partnership, organization, business, individual, government or political subdivision thereof
or a governmental agency (a “Person” or the “Persons”) in whose name or names any certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon exercise as provided in Section3.3 hereof shall be deemed to have
become the holder or holders of record thereof.
3.3
Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Company’s
transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with
the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system if the Company is then
a participant in such system and there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale
of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Exercise Notice
by the date that is three Business Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Exercise Notice, (B) surrender of
this Warrant and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (such date, the “WarrantShareDeliveryDate”).
If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares via the DWAC system or a certificate,
or certificates, subject to an Exercise Notice 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 closing price of the Common Stock
on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice), $10 per Business Day (increasing to $20 per Business Day on the fifth Business Day after
such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Business Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered
or the Holder rescinds such exercise.
3.4
Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit the Warrant Shares to the Holder via the DWAC
system or a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section3.3 by the Warrant Share Delivery Date,
then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
3.5
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to TimelyDeliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the
Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit the Warrant Shares to the Holder via the DWAC system or a certificate
or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date as provided in Section3.3
above, 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, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant
Shares that 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 shares of 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 shares 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 shares 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, reasonable
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 certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
3.6
PartialExercise. In case exercise is in part only, a new Warrant of like tenor, dated the date hereof and calling in the aggregate
on the face thereof for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus
the number of Warrant Shares designated by the Holder upon exercise as provided in Section 3.1 hereof (without giving effect to
any adjustment thereof).
3.7
CompanytoReaffirmObligations. The Company will, at the time of each exercise of this Warrant and upon the written request of the
Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to the Holder all rights (including without limitation any
rights to registration of the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise) to which the Holder shall continue to be entitled after exercise in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant; provided, however, that if the Holder shall fail to make a request, the failure
shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford the rights to such Holder.
4.
Warrant Adjustments.
The
Warrant Price and the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment with respect to events
after the date hereof as follows:
(a)
Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock. Except as provided in Subsection 4(b) below, if the Company shall (i) declare a
dividend on its outstanding Common Stock in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) issue
any shares of its capital stock by reclassification of its Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation
or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then in each such case the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to
such action shall be adjusted so that if this Warrant is thereafter exercised, the Holder may receive the number and kind of shares which
it would have owned immediately following such action if it had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such action. Such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever such an event shall occur. The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date
in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or reclassification.
If after an adjustment the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant may receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company,
the Company’s Board of Directors, in good faith, shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Warrant Price between the classes
of capital stock. After such allocation, the Warrant Price of each class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment on
terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Section4.
(b)
NumberofShares. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price as a result of the calculations made in Subsection 4(a) above,
this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Warrant Price, that number of shares (calculated to the
nearest one- hundredth) obtained by dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant prior to adjustment of the number of shares by Warrant Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Warrant Price by (ii) the Warrant
Price in effect after such adjustment of the Warrant Price.
(c)
Transactions Not Requiring Adjustments. No adjustment need be made for a transaction referred to in Subsection4(a) if the
Holder is permitted to participate in the transaction on a basis no less favorable than any other party and at a level, which would preserve
the Holder’s percentage equity participation in the Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant.
(d)
ActiontoPermitValidIssuanceofCommonStock. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Warrant Price
below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take all corporate
action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue shares of such
Common Stock at such adjusted Warrant Price.
(e)
MinimumAdjustment. No adjustment in the Warrant Price shall be required if such adjustment is less than $0.05; provided,
however, that any adjustments, which by reason of this Subsection 4 (e) are not required to be made, shall be carried forward
and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section4 shall be made to the nearest cent or
to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled
to make such reductions in the Warrant Price, in addition to those required by this Subsection4(e), as it in its discretion shall
determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities,
or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall not
be taxable.
(f)
Referral of Adjustment. In any case in which this Section 4 shall require that an adjustment in the Warrant Price be made
effective as of a record date for a specified event (the “Exercise Event”), if this Warrant shall have been exercised after
such record date, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of the Exercise Event issuing to the Holder the shares, if any,
issuable upon the Exercise Event over and above the shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Warrant Price in
effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the Holder a due bill or other appropriate
instrument evidencing the Holder’ right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the Exercise Event.
(g)
Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price as a result of the calculations made in Subsection4(a), this
Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Warrant Price, that number of shares (calculated to the nearest
thousandth) obtained by dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant
prior to adjustment of the number of shares by the Warrant Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Warrant Price by (ii) the Warrant
Price in effect after such adjustment of the Warrant Price.
(h)
NoticeofAdjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice of the adjustment
together with a certificate from the Company’s Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer briefly stating (i) the facts requiring the
adjustment, (ii) the adjusted Warrant Price and the manner of computing it, and (iii) the date on which such adjustment becomes effective.
The certificate shall be prima facia evidence that the adjustment is correct, absent manifest error.
(i)
ReorganizationofCompany. If the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation or a transaction in which (i) the Company transfers
or leases substantially all of its assets; (ii) the Company reclassifies or changes its outstanding Common Stock; or (iii) the Common
Stock is exchanged for securities, cash or other assets, the Person who is the transferee or lessee of such assets or is obligated to
deliver such securities, cash or other assets shall assume the terms of this Warrant. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon exercise
of this Warrant is an affiliate of the surviving, transferee or lessee corporation, that issuer shall join in such assumption. The assumption
agreement shall provide that the Holder may exercise this Warrant into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets which
it would have owned immediately after the consolidation, merger, transfer, lease or exchange if it had exercised this Warrant immediately
before the effective date of the transaction. The assumption agreement shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent
as may be practical to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4. The successor company shall mail to the Holder a notice
briefly describing the assumption agreement. If this Subsection4(i) applies, Subsection4(a) above does not apply. Notwithstanding
the forgoing, in the event of a reorganization of the Company, the Company shall have the right to purchase this Warrant equal to the
difference between the exercise price, as adjusted, if any, and the equivalent value of share of Common Stock determined in the Reorganization
by the Company’s Board of Directors.
(j)
Dissolution, Liquidation. In the event of the dissolution or total liquidation of the Company, then after the effective date thereof,
this Warrant and all rights thereunder shall expire.
(k)
Notices. If (i) the Company takes any action that would require an adjustment in the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section4;
or (ii) there is a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Company shall mail to the Holder a notice stating the proposed record
date for a distribution or effective date of a reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, lease, liquidation or dissolution.
The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before such date. Failure to mail the notice or any defect in it shall not affect
the validity of the transaction.
5.
FractionalShares. If the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Section
4 hereof, the Company shall nevertheless not be required to issue fractions of shares upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise,
or to distribute certificates that evidence fractional shares. Instead, the Company will issue cash in the amount equal to the fractional
share times the Current Market Price calculated to the nearest penny.
6.
RighttoRegistration. The Holder has the right to require the Company to register the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act of
1933 (the “Act”) in accordance with the terms of an agreement (the “RegistrationRightsAgreement”)
dated as of the date hereof between the Company and the Holders. The date on which the first Registration Statement filed pursuant to
the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the Commission is herein referred to as the “Effective Date.”
7.
NoDilutionorImpairment.
7.1
ActionstoPermitIssuanceofWarrantShares. The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through any
consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, 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 the Warrants, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all of the terms and in the taking of all actions necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable
upon the exercise of the Warrants to exceed the amount payable therefor upon exercise, (b) will take all actions necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock on the exercise of the Warrants,
and (c) will not take any action which results in any adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable
after the action upon the exercise of the Warrant would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company’s
certificate of incorporation and available for the purpose of issuance upon exercise.
7.2
Acknowledgement of Company’s Obligations. The Company acknowledges that its obligation to issue shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants is binding upon it and enforceable regardless of the dilution that such issuance may have on the ownership
interests of other stockholders.
8.
Chief Financial Officer’s Report as to Adjustments. In the case of any adjustment or re-adjustment in the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly compute the adjustment or re-adjustment in
accordance with the terms of the Warrants and cause its Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer to certify the computation (other than any
computation of the fair value of property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) and prepare a report
setting forth the adjustment or re- adjustment and showing in reasonable detail the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon
which the adjustment or re-adjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed
to be outstanding and (b) the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the deemed issuance or sale and as adjusted and re-adjusted
(if required by Section4 hereof) on account thereof. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each report to the Holder and will,
upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to the Holder a like report setting forth the Warrant Price at the time in
effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was calculated. The Company will also keep copies of all reports at its office maintained
pursuant to Section 12.2(a) hereof and will cause them to be available for inspection at the office during normal business hours
upon reasonable notice by the Holder or any prospective purchaser of the Warrants designated by the Holder.
9.
ReservationofShares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock, free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof and not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar
rights of stockholders of the Company, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, such number of its shares of
Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise thereof, and if at any time the number of authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of the Warrants, in addition to such other remedies as
shall be available to the Holder, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to
increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes,
including without limitation, using its best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval necessary to increase the number of
authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be duly
authorized and, when issued upon exercise, shall be validly issued and, in the case of shares, fully paid and nonassessable and free
from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, and that upon issuance such shares
shall be listed on each securities exchange, if any, on which the other shares of outstanding Common Stock of the Company are then listed.
10.
Listing. The Company shall at all times comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations
under the by-laws or rules of each national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common
Stock are then listed and shall list the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants on such national securities exchange or inter-dealer
quotation system, if any, it being understood that the Company’s Common Stock is currently traded on the OTCQB and the Company
has no current plans to list its securities on any other exchange.
11.
InvestmentRepresentations:Restrictions onTransfer.
11.1
Investment Representations. The Holder acknowledge that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares have not been and, except as otherwise
provided herein, will not be registered under the Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws and that the transferability
thereof is restricted by the registration provisions of the Act as well as such state laws. The Holder represents that it is acquiring
this Warrant and will acquire the Warrant Shares for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to resale or other
distribution thereof, nor with the intention of selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of all or any part of such securities for
any particular event or circumstance, except selling, transferring or disposing of them upon full compliance with all applicable provisions
of the Act, the Exchange Act, the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder, and any applicable state securities
laws. The Holder further understands and agrees that (i) neither the Warrants nor the Warrant Shares may be sold or otherwise transferred
unless they are subsequently registered under the Act and qualified under any applicable state securities laws or, in the opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, an exemption from such registration and qualification is available; (ii) any routine
sales of the Company’s securities made in reliance upon Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission under the Act, can be effected only
pursuant to the terms and conditions of that Rule, including applicable holding periods and timely filing requirements with the Commission
for the Company; and (iii) except as otherwise set forth herein, the Company is under no obligation to register the Warrants or the Warrant
Shares on its behalf or to assist it in complying with any exemption from registration under the Act. The Holder agrees that each certificate
representing any Warrant Shares for which the Warrants may be exercised will bear on its face a legend in substantially the following
form:
THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD,
HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THAT ACT OR QUALIFICATION UNDER APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS WITHOUT AN OPINION COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION ARE NOT
REQUIRED.
11.2
Notice of Proposed Transfer; Opinion of Counsel. Prior to any transfer of any securities that are not registered under an effective
registration statement under the Act (“Restricted Securities”), the Holder will give written notice to the Company
of the Holder’s intention to affect a transfer and to comply in all other respects with this Section11.2. Each notice (a)
shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer, and (b) shall designate counsel for the Holder giving the notice
(who may be in-house counsel for the Holder). The Holder giving notice will submit a copy thereof to the counsel designated in the notice.
The following provisions shall then apply:
(i)
If in the opinion of counsel for the Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Company the proposed transfer (i.e. private sale of
Restricted Securities) may be effected without registration of Restricted Securities under the Act (which opinion shall state the bases
for the legal conclusions reached therein), the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to transfer the Restricted Securities in accordance
with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company. Each certificate representing the Restricted Securities issued upon
or in connection with any transfer shall bear the restrictive legends required by Section11.1 hereof.
(ii)
If the opinion called for in (i) above is not delivered, the Holder shall not be entitled to transfer the Restricted Securities until
either (x) receipt by the Company of a further notice from such Holder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section11.2
and fulfillment of the provisions of clause (i) above, or (y) such Restricted Securities have been effectively registered under the Act.
11.3 TerminationofRestrictions.
The restrictions imposed by this Section11 upon the transferability of Restricted Securities shall cease and terminate as to
any particular Restricted Securities: (a) which Restricted Securities shall have been effectively registered under the Act, or (b)
when, in the opinions of both counsel for the holder thereof and counsel for the Company, which opinion shall not be unreasonably
withheld, such restrictions are no longer required in order to insure compliance with the Act or Section11 hereof. Whenever
such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any Restricted Securities, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from
the Company, without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if any), new securities of like tenor not bearing the applicable
legends required by Section11.1 hereof.
12.

except that, if and when any Warrant is properly assigned by a notice in substantially the form attached to this Warrant as ExhibitB
(or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by the holder thereof in blank, the Company shall treat the bearer thereof as the
owner of such Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Subject to Section11 hereof, this Warrant,

pursuant to Subsection12.2(a) hereof, the Company at its expense will (subject to compliance with Section 11 hereof, if

Company maintained pursuant to Subsection12.2(a) hereof, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof,
a new Warrant of like tenor and dated the date hereof.

dividends or be deemed the holder of any shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable

rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders
at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock,
reclassification of stock, change of par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or
to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until such Holder’s Warrant shall have been exercised and the shares of
Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein. The Holder will not be entitled
to share in the assets of the Company in the event of liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of the Company.

new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or stockholders services business shall be successor warrant agent
under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant
agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Warrant shall be construed
and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made and to be performed

with all accrued interest.
This
Note is one of a series of notes (collectively the “Notes”), all with the same terms and conditions as those set forth herein,
which may be issued by Maker up to the aggregate principal amount of Five Million ($5,000,000.00) Dollars. Each Note is part of an offering
(the “Offering”) of up to Two Hundred (200) units (the “Units”) being conducted by Maker. Each Unit consists
of (i) one Note in the principal amount of Twenty-Five Thousand ($25,000.00) Dollars, and (ii) 250,000 two-year Warrants (the “Oncotelic
Warrants”) each, each warrant to expire on the two-year anniversary of the final closing under this Offering, to purchase one share
of Oncotelic’s Common Stock at $0.12 per share, each Warrant subject to certain anti-dilution provisions. The Offering will terminate
on the sooner of the sale of all of the Units or December 31, 2023, unless extended at the option of Maker and the placement agent in

Note is (i) convertible into Maker’s ordinary shares, par value of $0.01 per share (“Maker’s Common Stock”);
and (ii) is unsecured all as set forth below. It bears simple interest (the “Interest”) at the annual rate of sixteen percent

Dates”) commencing for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which
Interest has been paid or, if no Interest has been paid, from the date of delivery of this Note. If an Interest Payment Date falls
on a date that is not a Business Day, the Interest shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest will be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. A “Business Day” is any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a

2. MethodofPayment.
Maker will pay Principal and Interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public
and private debts. Maker may, however, pay Principal and Interest by its check, subject to collection, payable in such money. It may
mail an Interest check to Payee’s address as it first appears on this Note or such other address as Payee shall give by notice
to Maker. Payee must surrender this Note to Maker to collect Principal payments or to convert to Common Stock. If less than the then
outstanding Principal is paid or converted, this Note shall be surrendered only for notation by Maker of the Principal payment made or
converted and returned to Payee. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that Payee converts this Note as provided in
Section3 below, at Payee’s option, Maker shall pay all then accrued but unpaid Interest in cash or in Common Stock, at the
sole discretion of the Maker at the then existing Conversion Rate, as defined in Section3(a) below.
3. Conversion.
(a) Payee’s
right to Convert. Except as provided in Paragraph 3(g)(iii) below, Payee shall have the right, at any time commencing on the date that
Maker shall issue this Note to Payee until the close of business on the day the Obligations are paid in full, to cause the conversion
(a “Conversion”) of all or any portion (if such portion is Five Thousand ($5,000) Dollars or a whole multiple of Five Thousand
($5,000) Dollars) of the Principal, and Interest as provided in Section2 above, outstanding at the time such Conversion is effected
(the “Convertible Obligations”) into shares of Common Stock (the “Underlying Shares”). The price for Conversion,
subject to adjustment as provided in Section4 below, shall be Ten ($0.10) Cents per share for Maker’s Common Stock (the
“ConversionRate”), subject to adjustment as provided below. Maker will not issue a fractional share of Common Stock
upon Conversion but will round any fractional share to the nearest share so that if the fraction is less than 0.5 no share shall be issued
and if the fraction is 0.5 or higher Maker shall issue one fullshare.
(b) Manner
of Conversion. Payee may exercise Payee’s Conversion right by completing, executing and sending to Maker a completed and executed
Note Conversion Form appended hereto as Annex A (the “Conversion Notice”) setting forth the amount of the Convertible Obligations
to be converted and providing the other information required in the Conversion Notice. Maker shall issue the number of Underlying Shares
into which the Convertible Obligations are to be converted in accordance with the Conversion Rate. If required by applicable federal
or state securities laws or regulations, Payee shall represent in writing to Maker prior to the receipt of the Underlying Shares that
such Shares will be acquired by Payee for investment only and not for resale or with a view to the distribution thereof, and shall agree
that any certificates representing the Shares may bear a legend, conspicuously noting such restriction, as Maker shall deem reasonably
necessary or desirable to enable it to comply with any applicable federal and/or state laws or regulations.
(c) Delivery
of Certificates Upon Conversion. Certificates for Underlying Shares to be issued upon Conversion shall be transmitted by Maker’s
transfer agent (the “TransferAgent”) to Payee (A) by crediting the account of Payee’s prime broker with the
Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system if Maker is then a participant in
such system and there is either (1) an effective Registration Statement, as defined in Section 5 below, permitting the issuance
of the Underlying Shares to or resale of the Underlying Shares by Payee or (2) the Underlying Shares are eligible for resale by Payee
without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, or (B) if Maker is not then a participant in the DWAC
system and there is not an effective Registration Statement as aforesaid, by physical delivery of the certificates, bearing the restrictive
legends required by Section3(b) above if the Underlying Shares are otherwise not publicly tradable or without such restrictive
legends if the Underlying Shares are otherwise publicly tradable or eligible for resale by Payee without volume or manner-of-sale limitations
pursuant to Rule 144, to the address specified by Payee in the Conversion Notice by the date that is three (3) Business Days after the
later of (i) the delivery to Maker of the Conversion Notice or (ii) surrender of this Note (such date, the “UnderlyingShareDeliveryDate”).

(d) Rescission
Rights. If Maker fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to Payee a certificate or the certificates representing the Underlying
Shares pursuant to Paragraph 3.(c) above by the Underlying Share Delivery Date, then, Payee will have the right to rescind such
Conversion, which will terminate on the earlier of the actual delivery of the Underlying Shares or three (3) Business Days after the
Underlying Share Delivery Date.
(e) Partial
Conversion. If only a portion of the Convertible Obligations then outstanding is converted, Maker shall deliver to Payee, together with
the aforesaid certificate(s), a new note, in form and substance identical to this Note, except that the principal amount thereof shall
equal that portion of the Obligations then outstanding which has not been converted.
(f) Taxes
on Shares Issued. The issue of stock certificates on Conversions of this Note shall be made without charge to Payee for any tax in respect
of such issue. Maker shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue
and delivery of Common Stock in any name other than that of Payee, and Maker shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates
representing such Common Stock unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to Maker the amount
of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of Maker that such tax has been paid.
(g) Covenants
of Maker Relating to Conversion. Maker covenants and agrees that from and after the date hereof and until the date of repayment of all
of the Obligations, or Conversion of all of the Convertible Obligations:
(i) It
shall reserve, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares, or out of shares held in its treasury, sufficient
shares to provide for the Conversion of this Note from time to time as this Note is presented for Conversion;
(ii) All
Underlying Shares that may be issued upon Conversion of this Note will upon issue be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free
from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, and will not be subject to the preemptive rights of any stockholder
of Maker ;
(iii) If
any Underlying Shares to be provided for the purpose of Conversion of the Convertible Obligations require registration with or approval
of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued upon Conversion, Maker will in
good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be, and Maker’s obligation
to deliver shares of the Common Stock upon Conversion of the Convertible Obligations shall be abated until such registration or approval
is obtained; provided, however, that this Note and the Obligations shall remain outstanding unless paid in full until Maker
delivers the Underlying Shares and any then accrued but unpaid Interest to Payee and in no event shall this Note be converted until Maker
effects such delivery; and
(iv)
If, and thereafter so long as Maker’s Common Stock shall be Common Stock shall become listed on any securities exchange, market
or other quotation system, Maker will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange, market or other quotation system, list and keep listed
and for sale so long as such Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange, market or other quotation system, upon official notice
of issuance, all Underlying Shares issuable upon Conversion of the Convertible Obligations.

4. Adjustmentin
ConversionRate.
(a) Adjustment
for Change in Capital Stock. Except as provided in Paragraph 4 (l) below, if Maker , shall (i) declare a dividend on its outstanding
Common Stock in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock by reclassification of its common Stock (including any
such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which Maker is the continuing corporation), then in each such case
the Conversion privilege and the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that if this Note is
thereafter converted, Payee may receive the number and kind of shares which Payee would have owned immediately following such action
if Payee had converted this Note immediately prior to such action. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an event
shall occur. The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately
after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If after an adjustment Payee upon Conversion
of this Note may receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of Maker , Maker’s Board of Directors shall determine,
in good faith, the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Rate between or among, as the case may be, the classes of capital stock. After
such allocation, the conversion privilege and conversion rate of each class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment
on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Section 4.
(b) Subsequent
Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 4(a) above, if at any time Maker , grants, issues or sells any rights
to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the
“Purchase Rights”), then Payee will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate
Purchase Rights which Payee could have acquired if Payee had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion
of this Note (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof), immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant,
issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common
Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
Action
to Permit Valid Issuance of Common Stock. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Rate below
the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, Maker , will take all corporate action
which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that Maker may validly and legally issue shares of such Common Stock
at such adjusted Conversion Rate.
(c) Minimum
Adjustment. No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required if such adjustment is less than 2% of the then existing Conversion
Rate; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Paragraph4(d) are not required to be made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made
to the nearest cent or to the nearest one- hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, Maker
shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by this Paragraph4(d), as it in
its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase
stock or securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by Maker to its stockholders
shall not be taxable.

(d) Referral
of Adjustment. In any case in which this Section4 shall require that an adjustment in the Conversion Rate be made effective as
of a record date for a specified event (the “Conversion Event”), if this Note shall have been converted after such record
date, Maker may elect to defer until the occurrence of the Conversion Event issuing to Payee the shares, if any, issuable upon the Conversion
Event over and above the shares, if any, issuable upon such Conversion Event on the basis of the Conversion Rate in effect prior to such
adjustment; provided, however, that Maker shall deliver to Payee a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing
Payee’s right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(e) Number
of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Conversion Rate as a result of the calculations made in Paragraphs 4(a) and (b)
above, this Note shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Conversion Rate, that number of shares (calculated
to the nearest one- hundredth) obtained by dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares issuable upon Conversion
of this Note prior to adjustment of the number of shares by the Conversion Rate in effect prior to adjustment of the Conversion Rate
by (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect after such adjustment of the Conversion Rate.
(f) When
No Adjustment Required. No adjustment need be made for a transaction referred to in Paragraphs4(a) and (b) above if Payee
is permitted to participate in the transaction on a basis no less favorable than any other party and at a level that would preserve Payee’s
percentage equity participation in the Common Stock upon Conversion of this Note. No adjustment need be made for sales of Common Stock
pursuant to a plan by Maker for reinvestment of dividends or interest, the granting of options and/or the exercise of options outstanding
under any of Maker’s or currently existing stock option plans, the exercise of any other of Maker’s or currently outstanding
options, or any currently authorized warrants, whether or not outstanding. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value of
the Common Stock, or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value . If this Note becomes convertible solely
into cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter. Interest will not accrue on the cash.
(g) Notice
of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted, Maker shall promptly mail to Payee a notice of the adjustment together with
a certificate from Maker’s Chief Financial Officer briefly stating (i) the facts requiring the adjustment, ( ii) the adjusted Conversion
Rate and the manner of computing it, and (ii) the date on which such adjustment becomes effective. The certificate shall be evidence
that the adjustment is correct, absent manifest error.
(h) Voluntary
Reduction. Maker, from time to time, may reduce the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least twenty
(20) days and if the reduction is irrevocable during the period. Whenever the Conversion Rate is reduced, Maker shall mail to Payee a
notice of the reduction. Maker shall mail the notice at least fifteen (15) days before the date the reduced Conversion Rate takes effect.
The notice shall state the reduced Conversion Rate and the period it will be in effect. A reduction of the Conversion Rate does not change
or adjust the Conversion Rate otherwise in effect for purposes of Paragraphs4(a)and(b) above. Anything to the contrary
notwithstanding, this Paragraph4(i) shall be void and of no effect if it violates the rules and/or regulations of any exchange
or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading.
(i) Prohibition
against Certain Reductions of Conversion Rate. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Conversion Rate be reduced
below the par value of the Common Stock.
(j) Notice
of Certain Transactions. If (i) Maker takes any action that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section4;
or (ii) there is a liquidation or dissolution of Maker, Maker shall mail to Payee a notice stating the proposed record date for a distribution
or effective date of a reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, lease, liquidation or dissolution. Maker shall mail the notice
at least fifteen (15) days before such date. Failure to mail the notice or any defect in it shall not affect the validity of the transaction.

(k) Reorganization
of Maker. If Maker and/or the holders of Common Stock are parties to a merger, consolidation or a transaction in which (i) Maker transfers
or leases substantially all of its assets; (ii) Maker reclassifies or changes its outstanding Common Stock; or (iii) the Common Stock
is exchanged for securities, cash or other assets; the person who is the transferee or lessee of such assets or is obligated to deliver
such securities, cash or other assets shall assume the terms of this Note. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon Conversion of
this Note is an affiliate of the surviving, transferee or lessee corporation, that issuer shall join in such assumption. The assumption
agreement shall provide that the Payee may convert the Convertible Obligations into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other
assets that Payee would have owned immediately after the consolidation, merger, transfer, lease or exchange if Payee had converted this
Note immediately before the effective date of the transaction. The assumption agreement shall provide for adjustments that shall be as
nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for in this Section4. The successor company shall mail to Payee
a notice briefly describing the assumption agreement. If this Paragraph applies, Paragraph4(a) above does not apply.
(l) “Exempt
Issuance” means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock and options to officers, employees, or directors of Maker issued
pursuant to plans that have been approved by a majority of the board of directors of Maker, (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange
of or conversion of any securities issued in the Offering and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date immediately prior to the initial closing of this Offering, provided that such
securities and any term thereof have not been amended since such date to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the issue
price, exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities, (c) full or partial consideration in connection with a
strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity
which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted any registration rights but shall not include a transaction in which
Maker is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities,
and (d) securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not
primarily for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights.
5. Right
to Registration. Payee has the right to require Maker to register the resale of the Underlying Shares and the shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants owned by Payee (the “Warrant Shares”) under the Act pursuant to a registration statement (a “Registration

agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) dated as of the date hereof among Maker, Payee and the holders of the other
Notes. The date that the first Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the

state securities laws and that the transferability thereof is restricted by the registration provisions of the Act as well as the qualification
provisions of such state laws. Based upon the representations and agreements being made by Payee herein, this Note is being issued to
Payee pursuant to an exemption from such registration provided by Section 4 (2) of the Act and Rule 506 promulgated there under, and
such applicable state securities law qualification exemptions. Payee represents that Payee is acquiring this Note for Payee’s own
account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to resale or other distribution thereof, or with the intention of selling,

Regulations promulgated by the Commission there under, and any applicable state securities laws. Payee further understands and agree

of that permitted to be charged under such laws, such payment shall have been and shall be deemed to have been made in error and shall
automatically be applied to reduce the Principal outstanding on this Note.

exercise thereof or any exercise of any other right or remedy by Payee.

form for such purpose, and shall contain (except if otherwise required pursuant to written comments received from the Commission upon

cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any event, no later than

Securities Act until the date that is two years after the date that the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission
or such earlier date when all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement have been sold or may be sold pursuant to
Rule 144(b)(i) as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable
to the Transfer Agent and the affected Holders (the “Effectiveness Period”). It is agreed and understood that the
Company shall, from time to time, be obligated to file an additional Registration Statement to cover any Registrable Securities that
are not registered for resale pursuant to a pre-existing Registration Statement.
(b)
Additional Registration Statements. If for any reason the Commission does not permit all of the Registrable Securities to be included
in the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section2(a), then the Company shall prepare and file as soon as possible after
the date on which the Commission shall indicate as being the first date or time that such filing may be made, but in any event by the
90th day following such date, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities not already covered
by an existing and effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415, on Form S-1
or another appropriate form for such purpose. Each such Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise required pursuant to
written comments received from the Commission upon a review of such Registration Statement) the “Plan of Distribution” attached
hereto as Annex A. The Company shall cause each such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act

to the Transfer Agent stating that the Shares, as defined therein, are subject to an effective registration statement and can be reissued
free of restrictive legend upon notice of a sale by the Purchaser and confirmation by the Purchaser that it has complied with the prospectus
delivery requirements, provided that the Company has not advised the Transfer Agent in writing that the opinion has been withdrawn. Copies
of the blanket opinion required by this Section 2(c) shall be delivered to the Purchasers within the time period set forth above.
(ii)
In connection with Section 2(c)(i), the Company shall obtain confirmation from any new Transfer Agent, as may be engaged by the Company
from time to time, that the Form Opinion shall be sufficient to cause the removal of restrictive legends from the Shares (as defined
in the Form Opinion) and the Company shall provide confirmation of the same to the Purchasers.
3.
RegistrationProcedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:
(a)
Not less than four trading days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, furnish to the Holders copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated by
reference) will be subject to review by such Holders. The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall, in writing, reasonably object
in good faith.
(b)
(i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post- effective amendments, to each Registration Statement and the
Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable
Registrable Securities for its Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements
in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended
or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond
as promptly as reasonably possible, and in any event within ten trading days, to any comments received from the Commission with respect
to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible, provide the Holders true and complete
copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to such Registration Statement that pertains to the Holders as selling
stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders”) but not any comments that would result in the disclosure to the Holders
of material and non-public information concerning the Company; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the Registration Statements and the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by each
Registration Statement.
(c)
Notify the Holders as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than three trading days prior to such
filing) and (if requested by any such Holder) confirm such notice in writing no later than one trading day following the day (i)(A) when
a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the
Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission
comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses
thereto to each of the Holders that pertain to such Holder as a Selling Stockholder or to the Plan of Distribution, but not information
which the Company believes would constitute material and non-public information); and (C) with respect to each Registration Statement
or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state
governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information that pertains
to the Holders as Selling Stockholders or the Plan of Distribution; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings
for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding
for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event or condition that makes the financial statements included in a Registration
Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration
Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it
will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(d)
Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness
of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
(e)
Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all
exhibits to the extent requested by such Holder (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the
filing of such documents with the Commission; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to provide any
document pursuant to this clause that is available on the EDGAR system.
(f)
Promptly deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus)
and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably request. The Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus
and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities
covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.
(g)
Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the
selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable
Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of those jurisdictions within the United States set forth on Schedule
3(g) hereto to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and
to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statements; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally
to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject or to take such actions in states that require merit review.
(h)
Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to
be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statements, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the
Subscription Agreement and applicable law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations
and registered in such names as any such Holders may request. The Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to transmit the Registrable
Securities to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system if the Company is then a participant in such system.
(i)
Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section3(c)(v), as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or
amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the affected Registration Statements or a supplement to the related Prospectus or
any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will contain an 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 under which they were made,
not misleading.
The
Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by such Holder and any Affiliate thereof.
4.
Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance of its obligation under this Agreement
(excluding any underwriting discounts and selling commissions and all legal fees and expenses of legal counsel for any Holder) shall
be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses
referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation,
fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with the trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed for
trading, if any, and (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws), (ii) printing expenses (including, without
limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses
is reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement), (iii) messenger,
telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the
Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation

in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and
expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder.

each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, attorneys, investment advisors, partners, members, shareholders and employees of each of
them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act) and the officers, directors, agents, attorneys and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs
of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out
of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or
any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved AnnexA hereto
for this purpose) or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement
thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that
(1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by
such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed
method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use
in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood
that each Holder has approved AnnexA hereto for this purpose) or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified
in Section3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder
in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice, as defined in Section6(c)
below, or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended
or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. The Company shall notify
the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
(b)
IndemnificationbyHolders. Each Holder shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, severally and not jointly, indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees, each Person who controls the Company , as the
case may be (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers,
agents, attorneys or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses,
as incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements
of the Securities Act or (y) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any
form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of 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 that,
(1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by
such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed
method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use
in the Registration Statement (it being understood that each Holder has approved AnnexA hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus
or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified
in Section3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder
in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice or an amended or supplemented
Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement
or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater
in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise
to such indemnification obligation.
(c)
Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity
hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is
sought (the “IndemnifyingParty”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including
the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection
with defense thereof; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately
and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party
has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such
Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to
any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified
Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified
Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects
to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense
thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party); provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not
be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement
of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release
of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter ofsuch Proceeding.
All
fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating
or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred,
within ten trading days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an
Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided,however, that the Indemnifying Party may require such
Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified
Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).
(d)
Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by
reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted
in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified
Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information
supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses
shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section5(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable
fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such
fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.
The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section5(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute,
in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable
Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason
of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have
to the Indemnified Parties.

Miscellaneous
(a)
Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder
or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including
recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that
monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions
of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall
waive the defense that a remedy at law would beadequate.
(b)
Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act
as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(c)
DiscontinuedDisposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from
the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition
of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus
and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use
of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that
are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate
stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.
(d)
Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company
and the Holder or Holders (as applicable) of no less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. No waiver of any
default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future
or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission
of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
(e)
Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in
