RIGHTS AGREEMENT

 


REGISTRATION
RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of July 28, 2020, by and between RespireRx
Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and White Lion Capital, LLC, a
Nevada limited liability company (together with it permitted assigns, the “Buyer”). Capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement by and between
the parties hereto, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Purchase Agreement”).


 


WHEREAS,
To induce the Buyer to enter into the Purchase Agreement with respect to the purchase of up to two million ($2,000,000) of
Purchase Notice Shares, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the “Securities Act”),
and applicable state securities laws.


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:


 


1.
DEFINITIONS.


 


As
used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:


 


a.
“Investor” means the Buyer, any transferee or assignee thereof to whom a Buyer assigns its rights under this
Agreement in accordance with Section 9 and who agrees to become bound by the provisions of this Agreement, and any transferee
or assignee thereof to whom a transferee or assignee assigns its rights under this Agreement in accordance with Section 9 and
who agrees to become bound by the provisions of this Agreement.


 


b.
“Person” means any individual or entity including but not limited to any corporation, a limited liability company,
an association, a partnership, an organization, a business, an individual, a governmental or political subdivision thereof or
a governmental agency.


 


c.
“Register”, “registered”, and “registration” refer to a registration
effected by preparing and filing one or more registration statements of the Company in compliance with the Securities Act and/or
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule providing for offering securities on a continuous basis (“Rule
415”), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement(s) by the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).


 


d.
“Registrable Securities” means (a) an aggregate of up to 80,000,000 Purchase Notice Shares, and (b) any shares
of common stock issued to the Investor as a result of any stock purchase, stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, exchange
or similar event or otherwise with respect thereto.


 




    	 



     


    

 


e.
“Registration Statement” means one or more registration statements of the Company covering only the sale of
the Registrable Securities.


 


2.
REGISTRATION.


 


a.
Mandatory Registration. The Company shall, within twenty (20) Business Days from the date hereof, file with the SEC an
initial Registration Statement covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities (beginning with the Purchase Notice Shares)
as shall be permitted to be included thereon in accordance with applicable SEC rules, regulations and interpretations so as to
permit the resale of such Registrable Securities by the Investor, including but not limited to under Rule 415 under the Securities
Act at then prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), as mutually determined by both the Company and the Investor in consultation
with their respective legal counsel, subject to the aggregate number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock
then available for issuance in its Certificate of Incorporation. The initial Registration Statement shall register only the Registrable
Securities. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement
and any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement and any related prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and
the Company shall give due consideration to all reasonable comments. The Investor shall furnish all information reasonably requested
by the Company for inclusion therein. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement and
any amendment declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep
the Registration Statement effective, including but not limited to pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and
available for the resale by the Investor of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby at all times until the earlier of
(i) the date as of which the Investor may sell all of the Registrable Securities without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities and (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby and
no Available Amount remains under the Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Period”). The Registration Statement
(including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.


 


b.
Rule 424 Prospectus. The Company shall, as required by applicable securities regulations, from time to time file with the
SEC, pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, the prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used
in connection with sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. The Investor and its counsel shall have
a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give
due consideration to all such comments. The Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon such prospectus within
one (1) Business Day from the date the Investor receives the final pre-filing version of such prospectus.


 




    	 



     


    

 


c.
Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under the Registration Statement is
insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration
Statement (a “New Registration Statement”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities (subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2(a)) as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than forty-five (45) Business Days after
the necessity therefor arises, in the sole discretion of the Company, subject to any limits that may be imposed by the SEC pursuant
to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company shall use it reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or New Registration
Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. Unless the Registration Period has ended, in
the event that any of the Purchase Notice Shares are not included in the Registration Statement, or have not been included in
any New Registration Statement and the Company files any other registration statement under the Securities Act (other than on
Form 1-A (including any supplements or amendments thereto), Form S-4, Form S-8, or with respect to other employee related plans
or rights offerings) (“Other Registration Statement ”) then the Company shall include in such Other Registration
Statement first all of such Purchase Notice Shares that have not been previously registered, and second any other securities the
Company wishes to include in such Other Registration Statement. Unless the Registration Period has ended, the Company agrees that
it shall not file any such Other Registration Statement (excluding the exceptions listed above) unless all of the Purchase Notice
Shares have been included in such Other Registration Statement or otherwise have been registered for resale as described above.


 


d.
Offering. If the staff of the SEC (the “Staff’) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a
Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration
Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not
fixed prices), or if after the filing of the initial Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company
is otherwise required by the Staff or the SEC to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such initial Registration
Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such initial Registration Statement
(with the prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the Investor and its legal counsel as to the specific Registrable
Securities to be removed therefrom) until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become
effective and be used as aforesaid. Unless the Company has delivered Purchase Notices for an aggregate purchase price of $2 million
or the Equity Purchase Agreement has been terminated or the Registration Period has ended, the Company shall file one or more
New Registration Statements in accordance with Section 2(c) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in
Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the prospectus contained therein is available for use by the Investor.
Notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the Company’s obligations to register
Registrable Securities (and any related conditions to the Investor’s obligations) shall be qualified as necessary to comport
with any requirement of the SEC or the Staff as addressed in this Section 2(d).


 




    	 



     


    

 


3.
RELATED OBLIGATIONS.


 


With
respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Section 2 including
on any New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable
Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following
obligations:


 


a.
The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to any registration
statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any New Registration
Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement or any
New Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with
the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such registration statement.


 


b.
The Company shall permit the Investor to review and comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement
and all amendments and supplements thereto at least two (2) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any
document in a form to which Investor reasonably objects. The Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon the
Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto within two (2) Business Days
from the date the Investor receives the final version thereof. The Company shall furnish to the Investor, without charge any correspondence
from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to the Registration Statement or any New Registration
Statement unless such comments represent material, non-public information.


 


c.
Upon request of the Investor, the Company shall furnish to the Investor, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with
the SEC, at least one copy of such registration statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules,
all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any registration statement, a
copy of the prospectus included in such registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number
of copies as the Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final
prospectus, as the Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by the Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, any filing available to the Investor via the SEC’s live EDGAR
system shall be deemed “furnished to the Investor” hereunder.


 


d.
The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to, as applicable, (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by
a registration statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of California, (ii) prepare and file
in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications
as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may
be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv)
take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to
do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself
to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The
Company shall promptly notify the Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities
or “blue sky” laws of California or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for such purpose.


 




    	 



     


    

 


e.
As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the
happening of any event or existence of such facts as a result of which the prospectus included in any registration statement,
as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly
prepare a supplement or amendment to such registration statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy
of such supplement or amendment to the Investor (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request). The Company
shall also promptly notify the Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
has been filed, and when a registration statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness
shall be delivered to the Investor by email on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments
or supplements to any registration statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable
determination that a post-effective amendment to a registration statement would be appropriate.


 


f.
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness
of any registration statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction
and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible date
and to notify the Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation
or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.


 


g.
The Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the
same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted
under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the Principal
Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section.


 


h.
The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any
restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to any registration statement and enable such
certificates to be in such denominations or amounts as the Investor may reasonably request and registered in such names as the
Investor may request.


 


i.
The Company shall at all times provide a transfer agent and registrar with respect to its Common Stock.


 




    	 



     


    

 


j.
If reasonably requested by the Investor, the Company shall (i) immediately incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such information as the Investor reasonably believes should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution
of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being
sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make all
required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable upon notification of the matters
to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any registration
statement.


 


k.
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by any registration statement to
be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition
of such Registrable Securities.


 


l.
Within three (3) Business Days after any registration statement which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective
by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such
Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investor) confirmation that such registration statement has been declared effective
by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Thereafter, if requested by the Investor at any time, the Company
shall require its counsel to deliver to the Buyer a written confirmation as to whether or not the effectiveness of such registration
statement has lapsed at any time for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) and whether or not
the prospectus is current and available to the Investor for sale of all of the Registrable Securities.


 


m.
The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of Registrable
Securities pursuant to any registration statement.


 


4.
OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR.


 


a.
The Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the information the Company reasonably requires from the Investor in connection
with any registration statement hereunder. The Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required
to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration
as the Company may reasonably request.


 


b.
The Investor agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and
filing of any registration statement hereunder.


 


c.
The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event or existence of facts of the
kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e), the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable
Securities pursuant to any registration statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s receipt of
the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to promptly deliver shares of Common Stock without any restrictive
legend in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect
to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of
the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e) and for which the Investor
has not yet settled.


 




    	 



     


    

 


5.
EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.


 


All
reasonable expenses, other than sales or brokerage commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications
pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting
fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company.


 


6.
INDEMNIFICATION.


 


a.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each
Person, if any, who controls the Investor, the members, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives
of the Investor and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against
any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in
settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or
defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court
or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an
indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject
insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under
the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue
Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the
SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in
light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation
by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law,
or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement or any New Registration Statement or (iv) any material violation by the Company of this Agreement (the matters in the
foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified
Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person
arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information about the Investor furnished
in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration
Statement, any New Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made
available by the Company upon Investor’s request pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); (ii) with respect to any superseded
prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable
Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue statement or omission
of material fact contained in the superseded prospectus was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then amended or supplemented,
if such revised prospectus was timely made available by the Company upon Investor’s request pursuant to Section 3(c) or
Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use
giving rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to
the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available
by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company upon Investor’s request pursuant to Section
3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without
the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer
of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.


 




    	 



     


    

 


b.
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any
action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying
party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to
the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of
the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified
Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its
own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained
by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying
party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate
fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying
party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully
apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party
shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effectuated without its written consent, provided, however,
that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without
the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other
compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification
as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person
with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure
to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to
the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.


 






    	 



     


    

 


c.
The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the
investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.


 


d.
The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject
to pursuant to the law.


 


7.
CONTRIBUTION.


 


To
the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make
the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent
permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities
who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited
in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.


 


8.
REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS.


 


With
a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar
rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration (“Rule 144”), the Company agrees, at the Company’s sole expense, to:


 


a.
make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;


 


b.
use reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports
and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;


 




    	 



     


    

 


c.
furnish to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by
the Company that it has complied with the reporting and or disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by
the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant
to Rule 144 without registration; and


 


d.
take such additional action as is requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant
to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions
to the Company’s Transfer Agent as may be requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate with
Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.


 


9.
ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.


 


The
Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investor.
The Investor may not assign its rights under this Agreement without the written consent of the Company.


 


10.
AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.


 


No
provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived by the parties from and after the date that is one Business Day immediately
preceding the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision
of this Agreement may be (i) amended other than by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto or (ii) waived other than
in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Failure of any party to exercise
any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate
as a waiver thereof.


 


11.
MISCELLANEOUS.


 


a.
A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable
Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the
same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered
owner of such Registrable Securities.


 


b.
Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must
be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when
sent by facsimile or email (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file
by the sending party); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in

Re:
[__________]


 


Ladies
and Gentlemen:


 


We
are counsel to RespireRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Inc. a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as
of July 28, 2020 (the “Purchase Agreement”), entered into by and between the Company and WHITE LION
CAPITAL LLC (the “Buyer”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue to the Buyer shares of the
Company’s Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), in an amount up to Two Million
($2,000,000) (the “Purchase Notice Shares”), in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. In
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company has registered with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission the following shares of Common Stock:


 


(1)
Purchase Notice Shares to be issued to the Buyer upon purchase from the Company by the Buyer from time to time in accordance with
the Purchase Agreement.


 


Pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, of even date with the Purchase Agreement
with the Buyer (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things,
to register the Purchase Notice Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, on [__________],
2020, the Company filed a Registration Statement (File No. 333-[__________]) (the “Registration Statement”)
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the resale of the Purchase Notice Shares.


 


In
connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has
entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act at [__________] [A.M./P.M.] on [__________],
2020 and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its
effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Purchase
Notice Shares are available for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement and may be issued without
any restrictive legend.
