WARRANT
AGENT AGREEMENT


 


This
Warrant Agent Agreement (“Warrant Agreement”) is made as of [______________], 2020, by and between Lixte Biotechnology
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with offices at 248 Route 25A, No.22 East Setauket, NY 11733 (the “Company”),
and Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Computershare Trust Company N.A. a federally chartered
trust company (collectively, the “Warrant Agent”).


 


WHEREAS,
the Company is engaged in its initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) of [        ] shares of common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and [  ] warrants (the “Warrants”)
entitling its holder to purchase one share Common Stock for each whole warrant, subject to adjustment as set forth herein (the
“Warrant Shares”) (including the additional shares of Common Stock and Warrants issuable to the underwriter
if the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised);


 


WHEREAS,
the Company has filed, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), a registration statement on
Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-24588) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), for the registration, under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), of Common Stock, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares; and


 


WHEREAS,
the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection
with the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange, redemption and exercise of the Warrants; and


 


WHEREAS,
the Company desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be issued and exercised,
and the respective rights, limitation of rights and immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the holders of the Warrants;
and


 


WHEREAS,
all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the Warrants, when executed on behalf of the Company
and countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent, as provided herein, the legally valid and binding obligations of the Company,
and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Warrant Agreement.


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:


 


1.
Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company for the Warrants,
and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the express terms and
conditions set forth in this Warrant Agreement.


 


2.
Warrants.


 


2.1
Form of Warrant. Each Warrant shall be: (a) issued in registered form only, (b) in substantially the form of Exhibit
A attached hereto (a “Warrant Certificate”), the provisions of which are incorporated herein, (c) signed
by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Chief Executive Officer, the
President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or Secretary of the Company, and (d) signed manually or by facsimile signature
by the Warrant Agent. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant shall have ceased to
serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect
as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.


 




    	1



     


    

 


2.2
Effect of Countersignature. Unless and until countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the Warrant Agent pursuant
to this Warrant Agreement, a Warrant shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by the holder thereof.


 


2.3
Registration.


 


2.3.1
Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (the “Warrant Register”), for the registration
of the original issuance and transfers of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue
and register the Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with
instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company. Except as provided in this Section 2.3.1, upon the initial
issuance of the Warrants, to the extent the Warrants are DTC eligible as of such date, all of the Warrants shall initially be
represented by one or more Warrant Certificates reflecting book-entry of ownership (each a “Book-Entry Warrant Certificate”),
deposited with the Depository Trust Company (the “Depository”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co.,
a nominee of the Depository. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Warrant Certificates shall be shown on, and the
transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained (i) by the Depository or its nominee for each Book-Entry
Warrant Certificate; (ii) by institutions that have accounts with the Depository (such institution, with respect to a Warrant
in its account, a “Participant”); or (iii) directly on the book-entry records of the Warrant Agent with respect
only to owners of beneficial interests that request such direct registration.


 


If
the Warrants are not DTC-eligible at the issuance date or the Depository subsequently ceases to make its book-entry settlement
system available for the Warrants, the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent regarding making other arrangements for book-entry
settlement within ten (10) Business Days (as defined below) after the Depository ceases to make its book-entry settlement available.
In the event that the Company does not make alternative arrangements for book-entry settlement within ten (10) Business Days,
or the Warrants are not eligible for, or it is no longer necessary to have the Warrants available in, book-entry form, the Warrant
Agent shall provide written instructions, upon receipt of instructions from the Company, to the Depository to deliver to the Warrant
Agent for cancellation each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, and the Company shall instruct the Warrant Agent to deliver to the
Holder definitive Warrant Certificates in physical form evidencing such Warrants.


 


At
the request of any Holder of Warrants, submitted to the Warrant Agent via the Depositary as the initial Registered Holder as to
Book-Entry Warrants, the Company and Warrant Agent shall deliver to such purchaser definitive Warrant Certificates in physical
form, registered in the name of such purchaser, evidencing the Warrants purchased by such Holder. Such definitive Warrant Certificate
shall be dated the original issue date of the Warrants, shall be executed manually or by facsimile signature by an authorized
signatory of the Company, and countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the Warrant Agent, and shall be substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.


 


2.3.2
Registered Holder; Beneficial Owners. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company
and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Person (as defined in the Warrant Certificate) in whose name such Warrant shall be
registered upon the Warrant Register (“Registered Holder”) as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each
Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the Warrant Certificate made by anyone
other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither
the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The term “beneficial owner” shall
mean any Person in whose name ownership of a beneficial interest in the Warrants evidenced by (a) a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate
is recorded in the records maintained by the Depository or its nominee or a Participant or (b) a definitive Warrant Certificate
is recorded in the book-entry records of the Warrant Agent. Any reference herein to the term Holder or Registered Holder shall
include a beneficial owner who has received definitive Warrant Certificates registered in its name.


 




    	2



     


    

 


2.4
Separate Issuance of Warrants. The Common Stock and the Warrants shall be issued separately and shall be transferable separately
immediately upon issuance. The Common Stock and the Warrants will begin to trade separately on or promptly after the date that
is the effective date of the Registration Statement.


 


2.5
Uncertificated Warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything else herein to the contrary, the Warrants may be issued
in uncertificated form if so specified by the Company.


 


2.6
Opinion of Counsel. The Company shall provide an opinion of counsel to the Warrant Agent prior to the issuance of the Warrants
to set up a reserve of Warrants and related Warrant Shares. The opinion shall state that all Warrants or Warrant Shares, as applicable,
are:


 


(a)
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or are exempt from such registration, and all appropriate state securities
law filings have been made with respect to the warrants or shares; and


 


(b)
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.


 


3.
Terms and Exercise of Warrants.


 


3.1
Warrant Price. Each Warrant shall, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, entitle the Registered Holder thereof, subject
to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Warrant Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock
stated therein, at the price of $[_] per whole share of Common Stock, subject to the adjustments provided in Section 4
hereof and in the last sentence of this Section 3.1. The term “Warrant Price” as used in this Warrant
Agreement refers to the price per whole share at which Common Stock may be purchased at the time such Warrant is exercised. The
Company, in its sole discretion, may lower the Warrant Price at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below); provided,
that any such reduction remains in effect for no less than ten (10) Business Days and shall be identical in percentage terms among
all of the then outstanding Warrants. The Company shall promptly notify the Warrant Agent of any Warrant Price reduction.


 


3.2
Duration of Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised only during the period (“Exercise Period”) commencing
on the Initial Exercise Date (as defined in the Warrant Certificate) and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November
[__], 2025 (“Expiration Date”). Each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become null
and void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Warrant Agreement shall cease at the close of
business on the Expiration Date. The Company may extend the duration of the Warrants by delaying the Expiration Date; provided,
however, that the Company will provide notice of not less than twenty (20) days to the Warrant Agent and Registered Holders of
such extension and that such extension shall be identical in duration among all of the then outstanding Warrants.


 




    	3



     


    

 


3.3
Exercise of Warrants.


 


3.3.1
Payment. Subject to the provisions of the Warrant and this Warrant Agreement, a Warrant, when countersigned by the Warrant
Agent, may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof by surrendering at the office of the Warrant Agent, or at the office
of its successor as Warrant Agent, at [  ], (i) the Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants to be exercised, or,
in the case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, the Warrants to be exercised (the “Book-Entry Warrants”) shall
be exercised as described herein and Section 2(a) of the Warrant, (ii) the subscription form, as set forth in the Warrant Certificate
(the “Election to Purchase”), properly completed and duly executed by the Registered Holder on the reverse
of the Warrant Certificate or, in the case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, properly delivered by the Participant in accordance
with the Depository’s procedures, and (iii), unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) of the Warrant
is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise (a “Cashless Exercise”), payment in full, in lawful money
of the United States, in cash, by wire of same day funds or by certified or bank cashier’s check payable to the order of
the Company, the Warrant Price for such number of Warrant Shares totaling whole shares of Common Stock as to which the Warrant
is exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, the exchange of the Warrant
for the Warrant Shares, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares.. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Warrant Agreement,
a holder whose interest in a Book-Entry Warrant is a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Warrant held through the Depositary (or
another established clearing corporation performing similar functions), shall effect exercises by delivering to the Depositary
(or such other clearing corporation, as applicable) the appropriate instruction form for exercise, complying with the procedures
to effect exercise that are required by Depositary (or such other clearing corporation, as applicable). Upon receipt of an Election
to Purchase for a Cashless Exercise, the Company will promptly calculate and transmit to the Warrant Agent the number of Warrant
Shares issuable in connection with such Cashless Exercise. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or
confirm whether the Company’s determination of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued on such exercise is accurate or
correct.


 


3.3.2
Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Warrant Agreement, the Company shall
not be required to issue any fractional shares of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of Warrants for Warrant Shares,
and in any case where the Registered Holder would be entitled under the terms of the Warrants to receive a fractional share of
Common Stock as a Warrant Share upon the exercise of such Registered Holder’s Warrants, issue or cause to be issued only
the largest whole number of aggregate Warrant Shares issuable on such exercise (and such remaining fractional shares will be disregarded);
provided, that if more than one Warrant Certificate is presented for exercise at the same time by the same Registered Holder,
the number of Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate
number of Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of all such Warrants. The Company shall provide an initial funding of one thousand
dollars ($1,000) for the purpose of issuing cash in lieu of fractional shares. From time to time thereafter, the Warrant Agent
may request additional funding to cover payments for fractional Warrant Shares. The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation to
make such payments for fractional Warrant Shares unless the Company shall have provided the necessary funds to pay in full all
amounts due and payable with respect thereto.


 




    	4



     


    

 


3.3.3
Issuance of Certificates. As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment
of the Warrant Price, the Warrant Agent shall advise the Company and its transfer agent regarding (i) the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon such exercise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant Agreement, (ii) the instructions of each
Holder or Participant, as they case may be, with respect to delivery of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, and the
delivery of definitive Warrant Certificates, as appropriate, evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants remaining after such
exercise, (iii) in case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, the notation that shall be made to the records maintained by the
Depository, its nominee for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, or a Participant, as appropriate, evidencing the balance, if
any, of the Warrants remaining after such exercise and (iv) such other information as the Company or such transfer agent and registrar
shall reasonably require. Promptly thereafter and within the time period set forth in the Warrants, the Company shall instruct
its transfer agent to issue to the Registered Holder of such Warrant a certificate or certificates representing the number of
full shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her
or it, provided, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise, and provided
the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise to the Registered Holder by crediting the account of the Participant of record with the Depository or through
its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. If such Warrant shall not have been exercised or surrendered in full, a new countersigned
Warrant Certificate for the number of shares as to which such Warrant shall not have been exercised or surrendered, or, in case
of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, a notation shall be made to the records maintained by the Depository or nominee for each
Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, as appropriate, evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants remaining after such exercise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any securities pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant
unless (a) a registration statement under the Act with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants is
effective and a current prospectus relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is available
for delivery to the Registered Holder of the Warrant or (b) in the opinion of counsel to the Company, the exercise of the Warrants
is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act and such securities are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification
under applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions in which the Registered Holder resides. Until otherwise
advised in writing by the Company, the Warrant Agent shall always be entitled to assume that either clause (a) or clause (b) is
in effect and shall incur no liability in making such assumption. Warrants may not be exercised by, or securities issued to, any
Registered Holder in any state in which such exercise or issuance would be unlawful. In the event a such exercise would be unlawful
with respect to a Registered Holder in any state, the Registered Holder shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrants and such
Warrants may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be obligated to pay such Registered Holder any cash
consideration upon exercise or otherwise “net cash settle” the Warrant.


 


3.3.4
Valid Issuance. The validity of any exercise of Warrants will be determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion.
The Warrant Agent shall notify a holder of any purported invalidity of any exercise of Warrants. All shares of Common Stock issued
upon the proper exercise or surrender of a Warrant in conformity with this Warrant Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.


 


3.3.5
Date of Issuance. Each Person in whose name any shares of Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to
have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price
was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is
a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such
shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open (the “Exercise
Date”). If any of (i) the Warrant Certificate or the Book-Entry Warrants, (ii) the Election to Purchase, or (iii) the
Warrant Price therefor, is received by the Warrant Agent after 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the specified Exercise Date, the Warrants
will be deemed to be received and exercised on the Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date, subject to clearance of the
funds. If the date specified as the Exercise Date is not a Business Day, the Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised
on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, subject to clearance of the funds. If the Warrants are received or deemed to
be received after the Expiration Date, the exercise thereof will be null and void and any funds delivered to the Warrant Agent
will be returned to the Registered Holder as soon as practicable.


 




    	5



     


    

 


3.3.6
Cost Basis Information.


 


(a)
In the event of a cash exercise, the Company hereby instructs the Warrant Agent to record cost basis for newly issued shares in
a manner to be subsequently communicated by the Company in writing to the Warrant Agent


 


(b)
In the event of a Cashless Exercise, the Company shall provide cost basis for shares issued pursuant to a cashless exercise at
the time the Company confirms the number of Warrant Shares issuable in connection with the cashless exercise to the Warrant Agent
pursuant to Section 3.3.1 hereof.


 


4.
Adjustments; Rights. The Warrant Shares and Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided for in the Warrant
Certificate, and the rights of Warrant holders as provided for in the Warrant Certificate are incorporated herein by reference
and shall be adhered to by the Company and the Warrant Agent. The Company hereby agrees that it will provide the Warrant Agent
with reasonable notice of any adjustment events. The Company further agrees that it will provide to the Warrant Agent with any
new or amended exercise terms. Whenever the Warrant Shares or Warrant Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, the Company shall (a) promptly prepare a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price
of each Warrant as so adjusted, and a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment, (b) promptly file with the
Warrant Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Stock a copy of such certificate and (c) instruct the Warrant Agent
to send a brief summary thereof to each Holder of a Warrant Certificate. The Warrant Agent shall be fully protected in relying
on any such certificate and on any adjustment or statement therein contained and shall have no duty or liability with respect
to, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any such adjustment or any such event unless and until it shall have received
such certificate.


 


5.
Transfer and Exchange of Warrants.


 


5.1
Transfer of Warrants. The Warrants may be transferred or exchanged separately from shares of Common Stock.


 


5.2
Registration of Transfer. The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrant
into the Warrant Register, upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed
and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer, or properly noticed by the Depositary as contemplated by Section
5.3. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old
Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. The Warrants so cancelled shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company
from time to time upon the Company’s request. A party requesting transfer of Warrants must provide any evidence of authority
that may be required by the Warrant Agent, including but not limited to, a signature guarantee from an eligible guarantor institution
participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association.


 


5.3
Procedure for Surrender of Warrants. Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written request
for exchange or transfer reasonably acceptable to Warrant Agent, duly executed by the registered holder thereof, or by a duly
authorized attorney, and, thereupon, the Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested
by the Registered Holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however,
that, except as otherwise provided herein or in any Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate may be
transferred only in whole and only to the Depository, to another nominee of the Depository, to a successor depository, or to a
nominee of a successor depository; provided further, that in the event a Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive
legend, the Warrant Agent shall not cancel such Warrant and shall issue new Warrants in exchange therefor until the Warrant Agent
has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants
must also bear a restrictive legend. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 5.3, in case of a Book-Entry Warrant, the holder
or Participant shall notify the Depositary in accordance with the Depository’s procedures of a requested transfer and the
Depositary shall provide notice to an account of the Warrant Agent at the Depository designated for such purpose in writing by
the Warrant Agent to the Depository from time to time, of a transfer to be recorded in the records maintained by the Depository,
its nominee for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, or a Participant, as appropriate, evidencing the balance, if any, of the
Warrants remaining after such transfer and the new name in which the transferred Book Entry Warrants are to be held.


 




    	6



     


    

 


5.4
Fractional Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which will
result in the issuance of a Warrant Certificate or a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate for a fraction of a Warrant.


 


5.5
Warrant Execution and Countersignature. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant Agreement, the Warrants required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5,
and the Company, whenever required by the Warrant Agent, will supply the Warrant Agent with Warrants duly executed on behalf of
the Company for such purpose.


 


6.
Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Registered Holders of Warrants.


 


6.1
No Rights as Stockholder. A Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder
of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive
rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of
directors of the Company or any other matter.


 


6.2
Lost, Stolen Mutilated or Destroyed Warrants. If any Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company and the
Warrant Agent may, absent notice to Warrant Agent that such certificates have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, on such
terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which terms shall in all cases include posting of a
lost security bond by or on behalf of the Registered Holder, and in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof),
issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new
Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated
or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.


 


6.3
Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this
Warrant Agreement.


 


6.4
Registration of Common Stock. The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Agreement;
provided, however, that the Company shall not have penalties for failure to deliver Common Stock if a registration statement is
not effective or a current prospectus is not on file with the SEC at the time of exercise by the Registered Holder. In addition,
to the extent not completed at the time of the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Company agrees to use its reasonable efforts
to register such securities under the blue sky laws of the states of residence of the exercising Registered Holders to the extent
an exemption under the Act is not available for the exercise of the Warrants. In no event will the Registered Holder of a Warrant
be entitled to receive a net-cash settlement or shares of Common Stock or other consideration as of result of the Company’s
non-compliance with this Section 6.4. The provisions of this Section 6.4 may not be modified, amended or deleted
without the prior written consent of The Benchmark Company, LLC, the lead underwriter of the Public Offering (the “Underwriter”).

7.
Concerning the Warrant Agent and Other Matters.


 


7.1
Payment of Taxes. The Company will, from time to time, promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the
Company or the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants, but
neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Warrants or such shares.
The Warrant Agent shall not register any transfer or issue or deliver any Warrant Certificate(s) or Warrant Shares unless or until
the Persons requesting the registration or issuance shall have paid to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company the amount
of such tax, if any, or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company and the Warrant Agent that such tax,
if any, has been paid.


 


7.2
Resignation, Consolidation, or Merger of Warrant Agent.


 


7.2.1
Appointment of Successor Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties
and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving thirty (30) days’ notice in writing to
the Company. If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall
appoint, in writing, a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment
within a period of thirty (30) days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent
or by the Registered Holder of the Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his, her or its Warrant for inspection by the
Company), then the Registered Holder of any Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of
New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by
such court, shall be an entity authorized under applicable laws to exercise the powers of a transfer agent and subject to supervision
or examination by federal or state authorities. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority,
powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as
Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but, if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor
Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent
all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and, upon request of any successor Warrant
Agent, the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually
vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations.


 


7.2.2
Notice of Successor Warrant Agent. In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice
thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent and the transfer agent for the Common Stock not later than thirty (30) days before the
effective date of any such appointment.


 


7.2.3
Merger or Consolidation of Warrant Agent. Any Person into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be
consolidated or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party shall be the
successor Warrant Agent under this Warrant Agreement without any further act on the part of the Company or the Warrant Agent.

7.2.4
Confidentiality. The Warrant Agent and the Company agree that all books, records, information and data pertaining to the
business of the other party, including inter alia, personal, non-public Holder information, which are exchanged or received pursuant
to the negotiation or the carrying out of this Warrant Agreement shall remain confidential, and shall not be voluntarily disclosed
to any other Person, except as may be required by law, including, without limitation, pursuant to subpoenas from state or federal
government authorities.


 


7.3
Fees and Expenses of Warrant Agent.


 


7.3.1
Remuneration. The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration for its services as Warrant Agent hereunder
as set forth on Exhibit B hereto and will reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all expenditures that the Warrant
Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of its duties hereunder.


 


7.3.2
Further Assurances. The Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be performed, executed,
acknowledged and delivered, all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant
Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement.


 


7.4
Liability of Warrant Agent.


 


7.4.1
Reliance on Company Statement. Whenever, in the performance of its duties under this Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agent
shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering
any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be
deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer
or Chairman of the Board of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may rely upon, and be held harmless
for such reliance, such statement for any action taken or suffered or omitted to be taken by it in the absence of bad faith pursuant
to the provisions of this Warrant Agreement, and shall not be held liable in connection with any delay in receiving such statement.


 


7.4.2
Indemnity. The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith
(each as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Company covenants and agrees to indemnify the
Warrant Agent and hold it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, losses, damages, costs, expenses, and
reasonable counsel fees, which may be paid, incurred or suffered by or to which it may become subject, arising from or out of,
directly or indirectly, any claims or liability resulting from its actions as Warrant Agent pursuant hereto; provided, that such
covenant and agreement does not extend to, and the Warrant Agent shall not be indemnified with respect to, such costs, expenses,
losses and damages incurred or suffered by the Warrant Agent as a result of, or arising out of, its gross negligence, willful
misconduct or bad faith (each as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).


 


7.4.3
Exclusions. The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Warrant Agreement or with
