Exhibit 4.1 


 


Exhibit A


 


COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT


 


22ND
CENTURY GROUP, inc.


 


	Warrant Shares: [                           ]	 	Issue
    Date: November [              ], 2019




 


THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE
WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, [         ] or its assigns (the “Holder”)
is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on
or after Issue Date (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on November [         ],
2024 (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from 22nd Century Group, Inc.,
a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up to [         ] shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the
 “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall
be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).


 


Section 1.                   Definitions.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Warrant Exercise Agreement
(the “Exercise Agreement”), dated as of November 25, 2019, among the Company and the holders signatory thereto.


 


Section 2.                   Exercise.


 


a)                  Exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the
Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books
of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed
hereto. Within two (2) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate
Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn
on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable
Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of
guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the
Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this
Warrant to the Company for cancellation within two (2) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to
the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares
available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an
amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing
the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice
of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this
Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of
the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less
than the amount stated on the face hereof.


 






    1 


     


    

 


b)                 
Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $1.25, subject
to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).


 


c)                 
Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or
the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder or the resale of the Warrant
Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless
exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing
[(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:


 


		(A) =	the last VWAP immediately preceding the time of delivery
of the Notice of Exercise giving rise to the applicable “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice
of Exercise (to clarify, the "last VWAP" will be the last VWAP as calculated over an entire Trading Day such that, in
the event that this Warrant is exercised at a time that the Trading Market is open, the prior Trading Day's VWAP shall be used
in this calculation);



 


		(B)=	the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder;
and



 


		(X)=	the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather
than a cashless exercise.



 


If
Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9)
of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the
holding period of the Warrants being exercised may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrant Shares.  The Company
agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).


 


“VWAP”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is
then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the
nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg
L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time)), (b)  if OTCQB or
OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding
date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and
if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets, Inc. (or a
similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the
Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by
an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then
outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

d)                 
Mechanics of Exercise.


 


i.           
Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted
by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with
The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is
then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant
Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via “cashless exercise”,
and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder
or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified
by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice
of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been
issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such
shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by
cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to
the issuance of such shares, having been paid.


 


ii.           
Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at
the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver
to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant,
which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.


 


iii.          
Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares
pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.


 


iv.          Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the
Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such
date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s
brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant
Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A)
pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the
number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue
times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of
the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was
not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common
Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For
example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an
attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000,
under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder
shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon
request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any
other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise
of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.


 






    3 


     


    

 


v.           
No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such
exercise, the Company shall, pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Exercise Price.


 


vi.          Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax
or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid
by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed
by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the
name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached
hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to
reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day
processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing
corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.


 


vii.        
Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely
exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.


 






    4 


     


    

 


e)                  Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to
exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such
issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the
Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s
Affiliates (such Persons, "Attribution Parties")), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the
number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this
Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of
the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other
Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is
not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder
is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation
contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to
be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the
Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each
case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the
accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of
this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with
the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice
by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written
or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number
of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the
Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common
Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of
this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the
Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this
Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and
shall only be effective with regard to such Holder. The provisions of this Section 2(e) shall be construed and implemented in
a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any
portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or
to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained
in this Section 2(e) shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3.                    Certain
Adjustments.


 


a)                 
Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend
or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities
payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company
upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines
(including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by
reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price
shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares,
if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted
such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a)
shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend
or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.


 


b)                  Exercise
Agreement Warrant Share Reduction. The number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant shall be reduced on a
share for share basis by the number of Original Warrants not exercised for cash at the New Exercise Price by the initial
Holder of this Warrant pursuant to the terms of the Exercise Agreement prior to its termination. As an example, if
the initial Holder of this Warrant beneficially owned 100,000 Original Warrants as of the date of the Exercise Agreement and
only exercised 50,000 of such Original Warrants for cash prior to the termination of the Exercise Agreement, then the number
of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant shall be reduced to 50,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth herein, (i) commencing on the Issue Date, if the Resale Registration Statement (as defined in the Exercise Agreement)
is not effective, or (ii) commencing on the earlier of (x) the date of the delivery by the Company of the Required Notice (as
defined in the Exercise Agreement) and (y) 4:30 p.m. EST on December 5, 2019, the Resale Registration Statement (as defined
in the Exercise Agreement) is not available for the resale of all of the Warrant Shares (as defined in the Exercise
Agreement), in the case of (i) or (ii), for an aggregate of ten (10) Trading Days thereafter and prior to February 29, 2020,
the provisions of this Section 3(b) shall not apply.


 






    6 


     


    

 


c)                 
[RESERVED]


 


d)                 
Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any
dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of
return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or
options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction)
(a "Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall
be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder
had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations
on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record
is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock
are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder's
right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the
Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of
Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for
the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation).


 


e)                  Extraordinary
Transaction. If, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the
Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any
tender offer or exchange offer by the Company is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender
or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of
the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or
exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, an “Extraordinary Transaction”), then
this Warrant will become the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or
property as the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Extraordinary Transaction if it had
been, immediately prior to such Extraordinary Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon
exercise in full of the relevant Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”) in lieu of Common Stock. The
aggregate Exercise Price for each Warrant will not be affected by any such Extraordinary Transaction, but the Company shall
apportion such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative
value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the
securities, cash or property to be received in an Extraordinary Transaction, then the Holder, to the extent practicable,
shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of its Warrant following such
Extraordinary Transaction. In addition, at the request of the Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant, any successor to the
Company or surviving entity in such Extraordinary Transaction shall issue to such Holder a new warrant consistent with the
foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate
Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. Each such new warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted
upon any subsequent transaction analogous to an Extraordinary Transaction.


 






    7 


     


    

 


f)                  
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a
share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding
as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.


 


g)                 
Notice to Holder.


 


i.           
Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3,
the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment
and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.


 


ii.            Notice
to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on
the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock,
(C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for
or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company
shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the
Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share
exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize
the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the
Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number of email address as it
shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, (unless such notice is filed with the Commission, which in such case,
no additional notice is required to be provided to the Holder), at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or
effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders
of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be
determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is
expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record
shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice
or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be
specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains,
material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such
notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this
Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice
except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 4.                    Transfer
of Warrant.


 


a)                 
Transferability. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights)
are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated
agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder
or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender
and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or
assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue
to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to
physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder
shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within two (2) Trading Days of the date the Holder delivers an assignment form to
the Company assigning this Warrant full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by
a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.


 


b)                  New
Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of
the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be
issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may
be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for
the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or
exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the
number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.


 






    9 


     


    

 


c)                 
Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that
purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may
deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any
distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.


 


Section 5.
                    Miscellaneous.


 


a)                 
No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. Except as set forth Section 3, this Warrant does not entitle the Holder
to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section
2(d)(i).


 


b)                 
Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to
the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in
the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock
certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.


 


c)                 
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of
any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day.


 


d)                 
Authorized Shares.


 


The
Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common
Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase
rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to
its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary Warrant Shares
upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be
necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or
regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon
exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the
Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
issue).

Except and
to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending
its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions
as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable
therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant
and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory
body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.


 


Before taking
any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary
from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.


 


e)                 
Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant
shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Exercise Agreement.


 


f)                  
Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not
registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal
securities laws. The Holder further acknowledges that this Warrant may not be exercised while the Resale Registration Statement
(as defined in the Exercise Agreement) is effective and available for the resale of all Warrant Shares (as defined in the Exercise
Agreement) until the earlier of (i) the termination of the Exercise Agreement and (ii) the date that all of the Original Warrants
owned by the initial Holder of this Warrant have been exercised for cash pursuant to the Exercise Agreement.


 


g)                  Nonwaiver
and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall
operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any
other provision of this Warrant or the Exercise Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any
provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder
such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due
pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.


 






    11 


     


    

 


h)                 
Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the
Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Exercise Agreement.


 


i)                  
Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise
this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to
any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability
is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.


 


j)                  
Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of
damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would
not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees
to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.


 


k)                 
Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced
hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors
and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time
of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.


 


l)                  
Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the
Company and the Holder.


 


m)                
Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions
or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.


 


n)                 
Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose,
be deemed a part of this Warrant.
