 Dear
Sirs: 
 1.   INTRODUCTION.      Great Basin Scientific, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the purchasers, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Placement Agent Agreement (this “Agreement”) and the Subscription
Agreements in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Subscription Agreements”) entered into with the purchasers identified therein (each a “Purchaser” and collectively, the
“Purchasers”), up to an aggregate of: up to 39,200,000 Units (the “Units”) consisting of (i) 39,200,000 authorized but unissued shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common
Stock”), of the Company (the “Shares”) and (ii) 58,800,000 Series E Warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of up to 58,800,000 authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (the
“Warrant Shares”). Each Unit will consist of one Share and 1.5 Warrants. The Units, the Shares and the Warrants are collectively referred to as the “Securities.” The Units will not be separately issued or
certificated and the Securities shall be immediately separable and transferable upon issuance. The Warrant Shares are referred to as the “Delayed Exercise Warrant Shares.” The form of the Warrant is attached hereto as Exhibit
B. The Company hereby confirms its agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) to act as Placement Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. 

2.   AGREEMENT TO ACT AS PLACEMENT AGENT; PLACEMENT OF SECURITIES.  On the basis of the
representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained, and subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement: 

(a)      The Company hereby authorizes the Placement Agent to act as its
exclusive agent to solicit offers for the purchase of all or part of the Securities from the Company in connection with the proposed offering of the Securities (the “Offering”). Until the Closing Date (as defined in
Section 4 hereof) or earlier upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, solicit or accept offers
to purchase the Securities otherwise than through the Placement Agent. 







 (b)      The Company hereby
acknowledges that the Placement Agent has agreed, as agent of the Company, to use its reasonable efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Securities from the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus
(as defined below). The Placement Agent shall use reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each Purchaser whose offer to purchase Securities has been solicited by the Placement Agent and accepted by the
Company, but the Placement Agent shall not, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, be obligated to disclose the identity of any potential purchaser or have any liability to the Company in the event any such purchase is not consummated
for any reason. Under no circumstances will the Placement Agent be obligated to underwrite or purchase any Securities for its own account and, in soliciting purchases of the Securities, the Placement Agent shall act solely as the Company’s
agent and not as principal. 
 (c)      Subject to the provisions of this
Section 2, offers for the purchase of the Securities may be solicited by the Placement Agent as agent for the Company at such times and in such amounts as the Placement Agent deems advisable. The Placement Agent shall
communicate to the Company, orally or in writing, each reasonable offer to purchase Securities received by it as agent of the Company. The Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Securities and may reject any such
offer, in whole or in part. The Placement Agent shall have the right, in its discretion reasonably exercised, without notice to the Company, to reject any offer to purchase Securities received by it, in whole or in part, and any such
rejection shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement. 
 (d)      The
Securities are being sold to the Purchasers at the following initial public offering price: $0.16 per Unit. The purchases of Securities by the Purchasers shall be evidenced by the execution of Subscription Agreements by each of the Purchasers
and the Company. 
 (e)      As compensation for services rendered, on the
Closing Date (as defined in Section 4 hereof), the Company shall pay to the Placement Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Placement Agent, a cash fee (the
“Cash Fee”) in an aggregate amount equal to five and one-quarter percent (5.25%) of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Securities on such Closing Date. The Cash Fee is hereinafter referred to herein as
the “Placement Fee”. The Placement Agent may retain other brokers or dealers to act as sub-agents on its behalf in connection with the Offering, the fees of which shall be paid out of the Placement Fee. 

(f)      No Securities which the Company has agreed to sell pursuant to this
Agreement and the Subscription Agreements shall be deemed to have been purchased and paid for, or sold by the Company, until such Securities shall have been delivered to the Purchaser thereof against payment by such Purchaser. If the Company shall
default in its obligations to deliver Securities to a Purchaser whose offer it has accepted, the Company shall indemnify and hold the Placement Agent harmless against any loss, claim, damage or expense arising from or as a result of such default by
the Company in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8(c) herein.

reference and (ii) any such document so filed. If the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement to register additional securities pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Rules and Regulations (the “462(b) Registration
Statement”), then any reference herein to the Registration Statement shall also be deemed to include such 462(b) Registration Statement.

Section 5(b) below. The Company is not an “ineligible issuer” in connection with the offering pursuant to Rules 164, 405 and 433 under the Securities Act. The Company will file with the Commission all Issuer Free

organized and is validly existing in good standing (or the foreign equivalent thereof) under the laws of each of their respective jurisdictions of organization. The Company and each Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing
in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and has all power and authority necessary to own or hold its properties and to conduct the business in which it is engaged,
except where the failure to so qualify or have such power or authority (i) would not have, singularly or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, assets or business or
prospects of the Company or any Subsidiary, taken as a whole, or (ii) impair in any material respect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate any transactions contemplated by the Agreement, the
Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (any such effect as described in clauses (i) or (ii), a “Material Adverse Effect”). The Company does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any
other corporation, partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company, association or other entity. Accordingly, the terms “Subsidiary” and “Subsidiaries” shall be accorded no meaning under
this Agreement but have been retained herein solely for convenience. 

(i)       The Company has the full right, power and authority to enter into
this Agreement, the Warrants and each of the Subscription Agreements and, subject to effecting the Increased Shares Amendment with respect to the issuance of the Delayed Exercise Warrant Shares, to perform and to discharge its obligations hereunder

accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity. 

(j)       The Securities have been duly authorized, and the Shares, when
issued and delivered against payment therefor as provided herein and in the Subscription Agreements, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of any preemptive or similar rights and will conform to the description thereof
contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Subject to effecting the Increased Shares

validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of any preemptive or similar rights and will conform to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The Warrants
conform to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Subject to effecting the Increased Shares Amendment, the Company will have reserved a sufficient number of authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock for the issuance of the Delayed Exercise Warrant Shares upon the full exercise of the Warrants in accordance with their respective terms.

Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and all of the issued shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, have been issued in
compliance with United States federal and state securities laws, and conform to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. As of February 19, 2016, , there were

previously outstanding under the Company’s stock incentive plans or the issuance of restricted Common Stock pursuant to stock incentive plans. All of the Company’s options, warrants and other rights to purchase, exchange or convert
any securities for shares of the Company’s capital stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and were issued in compliance with United States federal and state securities laws. None of the outstanding shares of Common Stock was issued
in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company. There are no authorized or outstanding shares of capital stock, options, warrants, preemptive rights,
rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase, or equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary other than those described above or accurately
described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The description of the Company’s stock option, stock bonus and other stock plans or arrangements, and the options or other rights granted
thereunder, as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, accurately and fairly present the information required to be shown with respect to such plans, arrangements, options and rights.

or any of their properties or assets, except with respect to clauses (i) and (iii), any breaches, violations or defaults which, singularly or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. A “Debt Repayment Triggering
Event” means any event or condition that gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time would give the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to
require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company or any Subsidiary. 

(n)      Except for the registration of the Securities and the Delayed Exercise
Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, and such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under the Exchange Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws, the Financial Industry Regulatory

contemplated hereby or thereby.

Disclosure Package, or the Prospectus in accordance with the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations which has not been included as so required. Any pro forma and pro forma as adjusted financial information and the related notes included in the
Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus have been properly compiled and prepared in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations and present fairly the information
shown therein, and the assumptions used in the preparation thereof are reasonable and the adjustments used therein are appropriate to give effect to the transactions and circumstances referred to therein. 

(q)      Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has sustained, since the date of
the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, any material loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or
other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the
Prospectus; and, since such date, there has not been any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or any Subsidiary or any material adverse changes, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in

General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. 
 (r)      Except as set forth
in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there is no legal or governmental action, suit, claim or proceeding pending to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or of which any property or assets
of the Company or any Subsidiary is the subject which is required to be described in 

  
 -9- 








 
the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or a document incorporated by reference therein and is not described therein, or which, singularly or in the
aggregate, if determined adversely to the Company or any Subsidiary could have a Material Adverse Effect or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and to the best of the Company’s knowledge, no such proceedings
are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others. 

(s)      Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in (i) violation of its
charter or by-laws (or analogous governing instrument, as applicable), (ii) default in any respect, and no event has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default, in the due performance or
observance of any term, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its property or assets
is subject or (iii) to the Company’s knowledge, violation of any law, ordinance, governmental rule, regulation or court order, decree or judgment to which it or its property or assets is subject except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) of
this paragraph(s), for any violations or defaults which, singularly or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(t)      The Company and each Subsidiary possesses all licenses, certificates,
authorizations and permits issued by, and have made all declarations and filings with, the appropriate local, state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies which are necessary or desirable for the ownership of its properties or the conduct
of their respective businesses as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (collectively, the “Governmental Permits”) except where any failures to possess or make the same,
singularly or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each Subsidiary is in compliance with all such Governmental Permits, and all such Governmental Permits are valid and in full force and effect, except where any
non-compliance or the validity or failure to be in full force and effect would not, singularly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company’s knowledge, all such Governmental Permits are free and clear of any restriction
or condition that are in addition to, or materially different from those normally applicable to similar licenses, certificates, authorizations and permits. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received notification of any revocation or
modification (or proceedings related thereto) of any such Governmental Permit and, to the Company’s knowledge, there is no reason to believe that any such Governmental Permit will not be renewed.

the sale of the Securities and the Delayed Exercise Warrant Shares and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, will become an “investment

(v)      Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the Company’s
knowledge, any of the Company’s and any Subsidiary’s officers, directors or affiliates has taken or will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed or intended to stabilize or manipulate the price of


  
 -10- 








 
any security of the Company, or which caused or resulted in, or which might in the future reasonably be expected to cause or result in, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any
security of the Company. 
 (w)      To the best of the Company’s
knowledge, the Company and each Subsidiary owns or possesses the right to use all patents, trademarks, trademark registrations, service marks, service mark registrations, trade names, copyrights, licenses, inventions, software, databases,
know-how, Internet domain names, trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures, and other intellectual property (collectively, “Intellectual
Property”) necessary to carry on their respective businesses as currently conducted, and as proposed to be conducted and described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and the Company
is not aware of any claim to the contrary or any challenge by any other person to the rights of the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to the foregoing except for those that could not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Intellectual
Property licenses described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are valid, binding upon, and enforceable by or against the parties thereto in accordance with their terms. The Company and each
Subsidiary has complied in all material respects with, and is not in breach nor has received any asserted or threatened claim of breach of, any Intellectual Property license, and the Company has no knowledge of any breach or anticipated
breach by any other person to any Intellectual Property license. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, the Company’s and each Subsidiary’s business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted does not and will not infringe
or conflict with any valid patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses or other Intellectual Property or franchise right of any person, except for any such acts that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
No claim has been made against the Company or any Subsidiary alleging the infringement by the Company or any Subsidiary of any patent, trademark, service mark, trade name, copyright, trade secret, license in or other intellectual property right or
franchise right of any person. The Company and each Subsidiary has taken all reasonable steps to protect, maintain and safeguard its rights in all Intellectual Property, including the execution of appropriate nondisclosure and
confidentiality agreements. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in the loss or impairment of or payment of any additional amounts with respect to, nor require the consent of any
other person in respect of, each of the Company’s and each Subsidiary’s right to own, use, or hold for use any of the Intellectual Property as owned, used or held for use in the conduct of its business as currently
conducted. The Company and each Subsidiary has at all times complied in all material respects with all applicable laws relating to privacy, data protection, and the collection and use of personal information collected, used, or held for use
by the Company or any Subsidiary in the conduct of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s business. No claims have been asserted or threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary alleging a violation of any person’s privacy or
personal information or data rights and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not breach or otherwise cause any violation of any law related to privacy, data protection, or the collection and use of personal information
collected, used, or held for use by the Company or any Subsidiary in the conduct of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s business. The Company and each Subsidiary takes reasonable measures to ensure that such information is protected
against unauthorized access, use, modification, or other misuse.

 (x)      The Company and each
Subsidiary has good and marketable title in fee simple to, or have valid rights to lease or otherwise use, all items of real or personal property which are material to the business of the Company and any Subsidiary, free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances, security interests, claims and defects that do not, singularly or in the aggregate, materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company or any
Subsidiary; and all of the leases and subleases material to the business of the Company or any Subsidiary, and under which the Company or any Subsidiary holds properties described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure
Package and the Prospectus, are in full force and effect, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of any material claim of any sort that has been asserted by anyone adverse to the rights of the Company or
any Subsidiary under any of the leases or subleases mentioned above, or affecting or questioning the rights of the Company or any Subsidiary to the continued possession of the leased or subleased premises under any such lease or sublease.

 (y)      No organized labor disturbance by the employees of the Company or
any Subsidiary exists or, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, is imminent, and the Company has no actual knowledge of any existing or imminent labor disturbance by the employees of any of its or any Subsidiary’s principal
suppliers, manufacturers, customers or contractors, that could reasonably be expected, singularly or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not aware that any key employee or significant group of employees of the Company
or any Subsidiary plans to terminate employment with the Company or any Subsidiary. 

(z)      No “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 406
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (“ERISA”), or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time
to time (the “Code”)) or “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) or any of the events set forth in Section 4043(b) of ERISA (other than events with respect to which the
thirty (30)-day notice requirement under Section 4043 of ERISA has been waived) has occurred or could reasonably be expected to occur with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary which could,
singularly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Each employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with applicable law, including ERISA and the Code. The Company
and each Subsidiary has not incurred and could not reasonably be expected to incur liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to the termination of, or withdrawal from, any pension plan (as defined in ERISA). Each pension plan for which the
Company or any Subsidiary would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified, and nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which could, singularly or in the aggregate,
cause the loss of such qualification to the extent such loss would have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(aa)     To the best of the Company’s knowledge, the Company and each Subsidiary
is in compliance with all foreign, federal, state and local rules, laws and regulations relating to the use, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or waste and protection of health and safety or the environment
which are applicable to its businesses 

  
 -12- 








 
(“Environmental Laws”), except where the failure to comply would not, singularly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no storage,
generation, transportation, handling, treatment, disposal, discharge, emission, or other release of any kind of toxic or other wastes or other hazardous substances regulated by Environmental Laws (“Hazardous Substances”)
by or caused by the Company or any Subsidiary (or, to the Company’s knowledge and without independent investigation, any other entity for whose acts or omissions the Company or any Subsidiary is or may otherwise be liable)
upon any of the property now or previously owned or leased by the Company or any Subsidiary, or upon any other property, in violation of any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree or permit or which would,
under any law, statute, ordinance, rule (including rule of common law), regulation, order, judgment, decree or permit, give rise to any liability, except for any violation or liability which would not have, singularly or in the aggregate with
all such violations and liabilities, a Material Adverse Effect; to the Company’s actual knowledge and without independent investigation, there has been no disposal, discharge, emission or other release onto property now leased by the Company or
any Subsidiary or into the environment surrounding such property of any Hazardous Substance, except for any such disposal, discharge, emission, or other release in violation of Environmental Laws which would not have, singularly or in the
aggregate with all such discharges and other releases, a Material Adverse Effect. 

(bb)     The Company and each Subsidiary (i) has timely filed (or filed an extension
to file) all necessary federal, state, local and foreign tax returns, and all such filed returns were true, complete and correct, (ii) has paid all federal, state, local and foreign taxes, assessments, governmental or other charges due and
payable for which it is liable, including, without limitation, all sales and use taxes and all taxes which the Company or any Subsidiary is obligated to withhold from amounts owing to employees, creditors and third parties, and (iii) does
not have any tax deficiency or claims outstanding or assessed or, to the best of its knowledge, proposed against any of them, except those, in each of the cases described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph (bb), that
would not, singularly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each Subsidiary has not engaged in any transaction which is a corporate tax shelter or which could be characterized as such by the
Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. The accruals and reserves on the books and records of the Company in respect of tax liabilities for any taxable period not yet finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments
and related liabilities for any such period, and since December 31, 2008, the Company and each Subsidiary has not incurred any liability for taxes other than in the ordinary course. 

(cc)     The Company and each Subsidiary carries, or is covered by, insurance
provided by recognized, financially sound and reputable institutions with policies in such amounts and covering such risks as is adequate in the good faith opinion of Company management for the conduct of their respective businesses and the
value of its properties and, to its knowledge, as is customary for companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries. The Company has no reason to believe that it or any Subsidiary will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance
coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted and at a cost that would not result in a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has been denied any insurance coverage that it has sought or for which it has applied. 

  
 -13- 








 (dd)     The Company and each Subsidiary
maintains a system of internal accounting and other controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and
(iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Except as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure
Package and the Prospectus, since the end of the Company’s most recent audited fiscal year, there has been (A) no material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and (B) no change in
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. 

(ee)     The minute books of the Company and each Subsidiary have been made available
to the Placement Agent and counsel for the Placement Agent, and such books (i) contain a complete summary in all material respects of all meetings and actions of the board of directors (including each board committee) and stockholders of the
Company and each Subsidiary (or analogous governing bodies and interest holders, as applicable), since January 1, 2012 through the date of the latest meeting and action, and (ii) accurately, in all material respects, reflect all transactions
referred to in such minutes. 
 (ff)      There is no franchise, lease, contract,
agreement or document required by the Securities Act or by the Rules and Regulations to be described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or a document incorporated by reference therein or to be filed as
an exhibit to the Registration Statement or a document incorporated by reference therein which is not described or filed therein as required; and all descriptions of any such franchises, leases, contracts, agreements or documents contained in the
Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or in a document incorporated by reference therein are accurate and complete descriptions of such documents in all material respects. Other than as described in the
Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, no such franchise, lease, contract or agreement has been suspended or terminated for convenience or default by the Company or any Subsidiary or any of the other
parties thereto, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received notice nor does the Company have any other knowledge of any such pending or threatened suspension or termination, except for such pending or
threatened suspensions or terminations that would not reasonably be expected to, singularly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(gg)     No relationship, direct or indirect, exists between or among the Company and
any Subsidiary on the one hand, and the directors, officers, stockholders (or analogous interest holders), customers or suppliers of the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their affiliates on the other hand, which is required to be
described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or a document incorporated by reference therein and which is not so described. 

  
 -14- 








 (hh)    No person or entity has the right to
require registration of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or any Subsidiary because of the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement or otherwise, except for persons and entities who have expressly waived
such right in writing or who have been given timely and proper written notice and have failed to exercise such right within the time or times required under the terms and conditions of such right. Except as described in the
Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no persons with registration rights or similar rights to have any securities registered by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Securities Act. 

(ii)      Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary owns any “margin
securities” as that term is defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”), and none of the proceeds of the sale of the Securities will be used,
directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin security or for any other purpose
which might cause any of the Securities to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meanings of Regulation T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. 

(jj)      Except for this Agreement, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a
party to any contract, agreement or understanding with any person that would give rise to a valid claim against the Company or the Placement Agent for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the
offering and sale of the Securities or the Delayed Exercise Warrant Shares or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus. 

(kk)    No forward-looking statement (within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act) contained in either the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus has been made or reaffirmed without a reasonable basis or has been disclosed other than in good
faith. 
 (ll)      The Company is subject to and in compliance in all
material respects with the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and is listed on NASDAQ, and the Company has taken no action
designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or removal from listing of the Common Stock from the NASDAQ, nor has the Company received any notification that the SEC or the
NASDAQ Stock Market is contemplating terminating such registration or listing, except for the deficiency letters received from NASDAQ as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The Company has
obtained or will have obtained, or has made or will have made, as applicable, all necessary consents, approvals, authorizations or orders of, or filing, notification or registration with, the NASDAQ required for the listing of the Shares
on the NASDAQ. Promptly upon effecting the Increased Shares Amendment, The Company will obtain or make, as applicable, all

necessary consents, approvals, authorizations or orders of, or filing, notification or registration with, the NASDAQ required for the listing of the Delayed Exercise Warrant Shares on
the NASDAQ. 
 (mm)  The Company is in material compliance with all applicable provisions of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or implementing the provisions thereof (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). 

(nn)    Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor, to the best of the Company’s
knowledge, any employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary, has made any contribution or other payment to any official of, or candidate for, any federal, state, local or foreign office in violation of any law (including the Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act of 1977, as amended) or of the character required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or a document incorporated by reference therein. 

(oo)    There are no transactions, arrangements or other relationships between and/or
among the Company or any Subsidiary, any of their affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) and any unconsolidated entity, including, but not limited to, any structured finance, special purpose or limited purpose entity
that could reasonably be expected to materially affect the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s liquidity or the availability of or requirements for their capital resources required to be described in the Registration Statement, the General
Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or a document incorporated by reference therein which have not been described as required. 

(pp)    There are no outstanding loans, advances (except normal advances for business
expenses in the ordinary course of business) or guarantees or indebtedness by the Company to or for the benefit of any of the officers or directors of the Company or any of their respective family members, except as disclosed in
the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. 

(qq)    The statistical and market related data included in the Registration Statement,
the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are based on or derived from sources that the Company believes to be reliable and accurate, and such data agree with the sources from which they are derived. 

(rr)     The operations of the Company and each Subsidiary are and have been
conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, applicable money laundering statutes and applicable rules
and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”), and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company
or any Subsidiary with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending, or to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened. 

(ss)     Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary nor, to the knowledge of the Company,
any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary is

currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and the Company will not directly or
indirectly use the proceeds of the offering, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person
currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC. 

(tt)        Neither the Company, nor any Subsidiary, nor any of their
affiliates (within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121(b)(1)(a)) directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, or is an associated person (within the meaning of Article I, Section l(ee) of the By-laws of
FINRA) of, any member firm of FINRA. 
 (uu)       All preclinical and
clinical studies conducted by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary that are material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. To
the Company’s knowledge, after reasonable inquiry, the clinical and preclinical studies conducted by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary that are described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the

well-controlled clinical study the aggregate results of which are inconsistent with or otherwise call into question the results of any clinical study conducted by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary that are described in the Registration

Prospectus, to the Company’s knowledge, any preclinical and clinical testing, application for marketing approval of, manufacture, distribution, promotion and sale of the products and potential products of the Company or any Subsidiary is in
compliance, in all material respects, with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to such activities, including without limitation applicable good laboratory practices, good clinical practices and good manufacturing practices, except for such
non-compliance as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The descriptions of the results of such tests and trials contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package
and the Prospectus are accurate in all material respects. Except to the extent disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Company has not received notice of adverse finding, warning letter or
clinical hold notice from the FDA or any non-U.S. counterpart of any of the foregoing, or any untitled letter or other correspondence or notice from the FDA or any other governmental authority or agency or any institutional or ethical review board
alleging or asserting noncompliance with any law, rule or regulation applicable in any jurisdiction, except notices, letters, and correspondences and non-U.S. counterparts thereof alleging or asserting such noncompliance as would not, individually

involuntarily, initiated, conducted or issued, or caused to be initiated, conducted or issued, any recall, field correction, market withdrawal or replacement, safety alert, warning, “dear doctor” letter, investigator notice, or other

facts or information that would cause it to initiate any such notice or action and has no knowledge or reason to believe that the FDA, the EMEA or any other governmental agency or authority or any 

  
 -18-

material respects.

 5.   FURTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE
COMPANY. The Company agrees with the Placement Agent and the Purchasers: 

(a)      To prepare the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, if necessary, in a
form approved by the Placement Agent and file such Rule 462(b) Registration Statement with the Commission on the date hereof; to prepare the Prospectus in a form approved by the Placement Agent containing information previously omitted at the
time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement in reliance on rules 430A, 430B and 430C and to file such Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Rules and Regulations not later than the second
(2nd) business day following the execution and delivery of this Agreement or, if applicable, such earlier time as may be required by Rule 430A under the Rules and Regulations; until such time as
the distribution of the Securities is complete (the “Completion Date”), to notify the Placement Agent immediately of the Company’s intention to file or prepare any supplement or amendment to any Registration Statement or to
the Prospectus and to make no amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or to the Prospectus to which the Placement Agent shall reasonably object by notice to the Company after a reasonable
period to review; until the Completion Date, to advise the Placement Agent, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when any amendment to any Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective or any supplement to the
General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or any amended Prospectus has been filed and to furnish the Placement Agent copies thereof; to file promptly all material required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) or
163(b)(2), as the case may be; to file promptly all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
subsequent to the date of the Prospectus and for so long as the delivery of a prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Rules and Regulations) is required in connection with the offering or sale of the
Securities; to advise the Placement Agent, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the issuance by the 

  
 -19- 








 
Commission of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, of the suspension of
the qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing of the
Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or for additional information; and, in the event of the issuance of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, any
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus or suspending any such qualification, and promptly to use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order. 

(b)      The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior
consent of the Placement Agent, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Rules and Regulations unless the
prior written consent of the Placement Agent has been received (each, a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”); provided that the prior written consent of the Placement Agent hereto shall be deemed to have been given
in respect of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus included in Schedule A hereto. The Company represents that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus, comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the Rules and Regulations applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including the requirements relating to timely filing with the Commission, legending and record
keeping and will not take any action that would result in the Placement Agent or the Company being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Rules and Regulations a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the
Placement Agent that the Placement Agent otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder. 

(c)      If at any time until the Completion Date, when a Prospectus relating to
the Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event occurs or condition exists as a result of which the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or the Registration Statement, as then amended or supplemented, would include any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or if for any other reason it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement any Registration Statement or the Prospectus to comply with
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, the Company will promptly notify the Placement Agent, and upon the Placement Agent’s request, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, at the Company’s expense, an
amendment to the Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus that corrects such statement or omission or effects such compliance and will deliver to the Placement Agent, without charge, such number of copies
thereof as the Placement Agent may reasonably request. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by the Placement Agent. 

(d)      If the General Disclosure Package is being used to solicit offers to
buy the Securities at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and 

  
 -20- 








 
any event shall occur as a result of which, in the judgment of the Company or in the reasonable opinion of the Placement Agent, it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the General
Disclosure Package in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading, or to make the statements therein not conflict with the information contained or incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement then on file and not superseded or modified, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package to comply with any law, the Company promptly will either (i) prepare, file with the
Commission (if required) and furnish to the Placement Agent and any dealers an appropriate amendment or supplement to the General Disclosure Package or (ii) prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate filing under the Exchange Act which
shall be incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package so that the General Disclosure Package as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing, be misleading or conflict with the Registration
Statement then on file, or so that the General Disclosure Package will comply with law. 

(e)       If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, any Pricing Prospectus or the
Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein and any prospectus supplement deemed to be a part thereof and not superseded or modified or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or
would omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at the subsequent time, not misleading, the Company has promptly notified or will
promptly notify the Placement Agent so that any use of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus may cease until it is amended or supplemented and has promptly amended or will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission. The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written
information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent specifically for inclusion therein, which information the parties hereto agree is limited to the Placement Agent’s Information (as defined in Section 17).

 (f)       To the extent not available on the Commission’s EDGAR
system or any successor system, to furnish promptly to the Placement Agent and to counsel for the Placement Agent a signed copy of the Registration Statement as originally filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto filed with
the Commission, including all consents and exhibits filed therewith.

approval of the Company’s stockholders to (i) approve the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Capital Market (the “Warrant Exercise
Approval”) and (ii) amend the Company’s Seventh Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to effect an increase in the Company’s authorized Common Stock either by (A)
effecting a reverse split of its outstanding Common Stock and/or (B) increasing the authorized number of shares of Common Stock, in either case, so as to permit the exercise in full of the Warrants (the “Increased Shares

 -24- 








 
Statement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) is first mailed to stockholders or at the time of the Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein not false or misleading, or omit to state any material fact necessary to correct any statement in any earlier communication with respect to the solicitation of proxies or
the Stockholders Meeting which has become false or misleading. If the Company should discover at any time prior to the Stockholders Meeting, any event relating to the Company or its subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates, officers or
directors that is required to be set forth in a supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement, in addition to the Company’s obligations under the Exchange Act, the Company will promptly inform the Placement Agent thereof. The Board of
Directors shall recommend to the Company’s stockholders that the stockholders vote in favor of both the Warrant Exercise Approval and the Increased Shares Amendment at the Stockholders Meeting and take all commercially reasonable action
(including, without limitation, the hiring of a proxy solicitation firm of nationally recognized standing) to solicit the approval of the stockholders for both the Warrant Exercise Approval and the Increased Shares Amendment. No later than two (2)
business days following stockholder approval of the Increased Shares Amendment, the Company shall file with the Secretary of State of Delaware a certificate of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Increased Shares Amendment,
which certificate of amendment shall provide that it shall become immediately effective upon filing or such later date as may be required to comply with NASDAQ rules. The Company shall issue a press release announcing the effectiveness of the
Increased Shares Amendment no later than one (1) business day after such filing. The date on which the Increased Shares Amendment becomes effective is referred to herein as the “Authorized Shares Increase Date.” The date on which
the Warrant Exercise Approval becomes effective is referred to herein as the “Authorized Issuance Date”). 

(w)      In the event that the Increased Shares Amendment is not approved by the
stockholders of the Company in accordance with applicable law and the requirements of the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws on or before the first anniversary of the Issuance Date (the “Deadline Date”), the
Holders (as defined in the Warrants) of the Warrants shall be entitled to receive an aggregate cash payment, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an aggregate amount of $750,000 (the “Liquidated Damages Amount”). Not later
than the close of business on the Deadline Date, the Company shall irrevocably deposit the Liquidated Damages Amount with an escrow agent reasonably acceptable to the Placement Agent (the “Escrow Agent”), the Liquidated Damages
Amount to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Warrants entitled to payment thereof as provided in this paragraph. The Escrow Agent shall fix or cause to be fixed a record date (the “Record Date”) for determining
the Holders of the Warrants entitled to payment of the Liquidated Damages Amount and a payment date (the “Payment Date”) on which the Liquidated Damages Amount is to be paid to such Holders. No Payment Date may be less than 15 days
or more than 30 days after the Record Date. At least 15 days before the Record Date, the Escrow Agent shall mail or cause to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each record Holder of Warrants, with a copy to the Company, a notice at the
Holder’s address as it appears in the Escrow Agent’s books and records, setting forth the Record Date, the Payment Date and an estimate of the Per Warrant Amount (as defined in the following sentence). On the Payment Date, the Escrow Agent
shall pay to each record Holder of Warrants at the close of business on the Record Date (each, a “Record Holder”) an amount equal to (A) the 

  
 -25- 








 
quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Liquidated Damages Amount by (ii) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of all of the Warrants outstanding on the Record Date (the
“Per Warrant Amount”), times (B) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants held by the Record Holder as of the close of business on the Record Date, in each case without giving effect to any limitation
on exercise imposed pursuant to Section 1(f) of the Warrants. Any such payment shall be by check payable to the order of the Record Holder unless otherwise requested by such Record Holder. 

(x)      No later than five (5) business days after the later of the Authorized
Issuance Date and the Authorized Shares Increase Date, the Company shall file with the SEC a registration statement (which shall be on Form S-3 unless the Company is not then eligible to use Form S-3 to register the Delayed Exercise Warrant Shares)
for the registration under the Securities Act of the Delayed Exercise Warrant Shares (the “Additional Registration Statement”), and it shall take such reasonable action as is necessary to qualify for sale, in those states in which
the Warrants were initially offered by the Company, the Delayed Exercise Warrant Shares, provided, however, that no such qualification shall be required in any jurisdiction where, as a result thereof, the Company would be subject to service of
general process or to taxation as a foreign corporation doing business in such jurisdiction. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Additional Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable and
in no event later than the time that the Warrants first become exercisable in accordance with their terms and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness and availability of such registration statement until the
earlier of (i) the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with their terms or (ii) the time the Warrants are no longer outstanding. The Company shall take all commercially reasonable action to include the Delayed Exercise Warrant Shares for
listing on NASDAQ on or prior to the date that the Warrants first become exercisable in accordance with their terms. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(y), the Company shall not be required to file or
maintain the effectiveness of an Additional Registration Statement in the event that the Company delivers to the Placement Agent and the Holders of Warrants an opinion (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agent) of outside
counsel to the Company reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agent to the effect that the issuance of the Delayed Exercise Warrant Shares to the Holders of the Warrants is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and may be
freely resold by any Holder of Warrants that is not an affiliate of the Company at the time of exercise without further registration under the Securities Act pursuant to either (i) a cashless exercise effected pursuant to the terms of the Warrants
or (ii) an exemption from registration under the Securities Act (the “Opinion of Counsel”). In the event that the Company determines that it does not wish to file and maintain the effectiveness of an Additional Registration
Statement in compliance with the terms of this paragraph and delivers the Opinion of Counsel, no later than two (2) business days after the delivery of such Opinion of Counsel, the Company shall issue a press release announcing that it has
determined not to file and maintain the effectiveness of an Additional Registration Statement, and explaining in reasonable detail the basis on which the Warrant Shares may be issued to and freely resold by the Holder upon the exercise of the
Warrants. Any exercise of the Warrants after the issuance of such press release shall only be effected by cashless exercise as provided in Section 1(d) of the Warrants.

incurred by that Placement Agent Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, or preparing to defend, or defending against, or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any such
loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding, as such fees and expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
expense or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in, or omission or alleged omission from the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Pricing Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Rules and Regulations, or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or document incorporated by reference therein
made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent specifically for use therein, which information the parties hereto agree is limited to the Placement Agent’s Information (as
defined in Section 17). This indemnity agreement is not exclusive and will be in addition to any liability, which the Company might otherwise have and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be
available at law or in equity to the Placement Agent Indemnified Party. 

(b)      The Placement Agent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and
its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively the “Company
Indemnified Parties” and each a “Company Indemnified Party”) against any loss, claim, damage, expense or liability whatsoever (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof), joint or
several, to which such Company Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Pricing Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or


  
 -32- 








 
required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Rules and Regulations, or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or document incorporated by reference therein, or (ii)
the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Pricing Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule
433(d) under the Rules and Regulations, or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or document incorporated by reference therein, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the
Placement Agent specifically for use therein, which information the parties hereto agree is limited to the Placement Agent’s Information as defined in Section 17 and shall reimburse the Company for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, investigation
or proceeding, as such fees and expenses are incurred. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(b) in no event shall any indemnity by the Placement Agent under this
Section 8(b) exceed the total compensation received by the Placement Agent in accordance with Section 2.5. 

(c)      Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8 notify such
indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this
Section 8 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and, provided, further, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may
have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. If any such action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall
be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (which
counsel shall not, except with the written consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party). After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action, except
as provided herein, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of
such action other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense of such action but the fees and
expenses of such counsel (other than reasonable costs of investigation) shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized in writing by the Company in the case of a claim for
indemnification under Section 8(a) or Section 2(f) or the Placement Agent in the case of a claim for indemnification under Section 8(b), (ii) such indemnified party shall have been
advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party that make it inadvisable for joint representation by


  
 -33- 








 
one counsel, or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within a reasonable
period of time after notice of the commencement of the action or the indemnifying party does not diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, 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 of (or, in the case of a failure to diligently defend the action after assumption of
the defense, to continue to defend) such action on behalf of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall be responsible for legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
of such action; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties (in addition to any local counsel), which firm shall be designated
in writing by the Placement Agent if the indemnified parties under this Section 8 consist of any Placement Agent Indemnified Party or by the Company if the indemnified parties under this
Section 8 consist of any Company Indemnified Parties. Subject to this Section 8(c), the amount payable by an indemnifying party under Section 8 shall include,
but not be limited to, (x) reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party and any other expenses in investigating, or preparing to defend or defending against, or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise
incurred in connection with, any action, investigation, proceeding or claim, and (y) all amounts paid in settlement of any of the foregoing.    No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever, in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this
Section 8 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any
indemnified party.    Subject to the provisions of the following sentence, no indemnifying party shall be liable for settlement of any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever that is effected without its
written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with its written consent, if its consent has been unreasonably withheld or delayed or if there be a judgment for the plaintiff in any such
matter, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In addition, if at any time an indemnified party shall have
requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated herein effected without its written consent
if (i) such settlement is entered into more than forty-five (45) days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the request for reimbursement, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least thirty
(30) days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. 

  
 -34- 








 (d)      If the indemnification
provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or Section 8(b), then each indemnifying party shall,
in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid, payable or otherwise incurred by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in
respect thereof), as incurred, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other hand from the offering of the Securities, or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) of this Section 8(d) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) of this
Section 8(d) but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other with respect to the statements, omissions, acts or failures to act which resulted in such loss, claim,
damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement
Agent on the other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company
bear to the total Placement Fee received by the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the
Placement Agent on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Placement Agent on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement, omission, act or failure to act;
provided that the parties hereto agree that the written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Pricing Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Rules and Regulations, or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or document incorporated by reference therein,
consists solely of the Placement Agent’s Information as defined in Section 17. The Company and the Placement Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this
Section 8(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party
as a result of the loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding referred to above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this
Section 8(d). any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or
otherwise incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), the Placement Agent
shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total compensation received by the Placement Agent in accordance with Section 2.5 less the amount of any damages which the Placement Agent has otherwise


  
 -35- 








 
paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, act or alleged act or failure to act or alleged failure to act. No person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

9.    TERMINATION.    The obligations of the Company hereunder and under the
Subscription Agreements may be terminated by the Company, in its absolute discretion by notice given to the Placement Agent and the Purchasers prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities if, prior to that time, NASDAQ shall have
determined that the Offering does not qualify as a “public offering” pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635(d). The obligations of the Placement Agent and the Purchasers hereunder and under the Subscription Agreements may be terminated
by the Placement Agent, in its absolute discretion by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities if, prior to that time, (i) any of the conditions to closing in Section 7 shall not have been satisfied
in full and shall not have been expressly waived in writing by the Placement Agent, (ii) any of the events described in Section 7(a), (b), (g), (h) or (i) shall have occurred or (iii) the Purchasers shall decline to purchase the Securities
for any reason permitted under this Agreement or the Subscription Agreements. 
 10. REIMBURSEMENT OF PLACEMENT
AGENT’S EXPENSES.        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if (a) this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 9, (b) the Company
shall fail to tender the Securities for delivery to the Purchasers for any reason not permitted under this Agreement, (c) the Purchasers shall decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement or (d) the sale of
the Securities is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Purchasers or the Placement Agent set forth herein is not satisfied or because of the refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any
agreement herein or to satisfy any condition or to comply with the provisions hereof, then in addition to the payment of amounts in accordance with Section 6 the Company shall reimburse the Placement Agent for the
reasonable documented and accountable fees and expenses of the Placement Agent’s counsel and for such other out-of-pocket expenses as shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the
Securities, and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Placement Agent. 
 11. ABSENCE OF
FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP.    The Company acknowledges and agrees that: 

(a)      the Placement Agent’s responsibility to the Company is solely
contractual in nature, the Placement Agent has been retained solely to act as Placement Agent in connection with the Offering and no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company and the Placement Agent has been
created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether the Placement Agent has advised or is advising the Company on other matters; 

(b)      the price of the Securities set forth in this Agreement was established
by the Company following discussions and arms-length negotiations with the Placement Agent and the Purchasers, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; 

  
 -36- 








 (c)      it has been advised that
the Placement Agent and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and that the Placement Agent has no obligation to disclose such interests and
transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and 

(d)      it waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may
have against the Placement Agent for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that the Placement Agent shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim
or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company. 

12. SUCCESSORS; PERSONS ENTITLED TO BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT.      This Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Placement Agent, the Company, and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall also inure to the benefit of the Purchasers, and each of their respective successors and
assigns, which shall be third party beneficiaries hereof. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than the persons mentioned in the preceding sentences, any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provisions herein contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of such
persons and for the benefit of no other person; except that the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities of the Company contained in this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the Placement Agent Indemnified
Parties and the indemnities of the Placement Agent shall be for the benefit of the Company Indemnified Parties. It is understood that the Placement Agent’s responsibility to the Company is solely contractual in nature and the
Placement Agent does not owe the Company, or any other party, any fiduciary duty as a result of this Agreement. 

13. SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES,
ETC.      The respective indemnities, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Placement Agent, as set forth in this Agreement or made by them
respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Placement Agent, the Company, the Purchasers or any person controlling any of them and shall survive
delivery of and payment for the Securities and the Delayed Exercise Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, including without limitation any termination pursuant to Sections 9 or 10, the indemnity and
contribution agreements contained in Section 8 and the covenants, representations, warranties set forth in this Agreement shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect at all times.

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 This
Lock-Up Agreement is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Placement Agent Agreement (the “Placement Agreement”) to be entered into by and between Great Basin Scientific, Inc., a Delaware (the

undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Roth, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or
file (or participate in the filing of) a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call
equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) with respect to, any shares of
Common Stock or any other securities of the Company that are substantially similar to shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, or any warrants or other rights to purchase, the foregoing,
(ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company that are substantially similar to
shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, or any warrants or other rights to purchase, the foregoing, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares of Common Stock or such
other securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) publicly announce an intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii). 

The foregoing paragraph shall not apply to (a) bona fide gifts, provided the recipient thereof agrees in writing with the
Representative to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement, (b) dispositions to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned and/or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that such trust agrees in writing with
the Representative to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement, (c) transfers of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock on death by will or intestacy, (d) sales or transfers of shares of Common Stock solely in
connection with the “cashless” exercise of Company stock options outstanding on the date hereof for the purpose of exercising such stock options (provided that any remaining shares of Common Stock received upon such exercise will be
subject to the restrictions provided for in this Lock-Up Agreement) or (e) sales or transfers of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock pursuant to a sales plan entered into prior to the date hereof pursuant to
Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, a copy of which has been provided to the Roth. In addition, the restrictions sets forth herein shall not

“immediate family” shall mean the undersigned and the spouse, any lineal descendent, father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned. 

In addition, the undersigned hereby waives, from the date hereof until the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, any and all
rights, if any, to request or demand registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock that are registered in the
name of the undersigned or that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned under the Exchange Act. In order to enable the aforesaid covenants to be enforced, the undersigned hereby consents to the placing of legends and/or stop
transfer orders with the transfer agent of the Common Stock with respect to any shares of Common Stock, securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the
undersigned under the Exchange Act.

taken, and hereby covenants that the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly, take, any action designed, or which has constituted or will constitute or might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the
