(without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth in the Warrants). The Company shall, so long as any of the Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized
and unissued capital stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants
set forth in the Warrants). No “bad actor” disqualifying event described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i)-(viii) of the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”) is applicable to the Company or, to the Company’s
knowledge, any Company Covered Person, except for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii–iv) or (d)(3), is applicable. 

(g) Capitalization. The capitalization of the Company is as described in its most recently filed SEC Report on Form 10-K, except for issuances
pursuant to this Agreement, stock option exercises, issuances pursuant to equity incentive plans or exercises of warrants. The Company has not issued any capital stock since the date of its most recently filed SEC Report other than to reflect stock
option and warrant exercises that do not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material affect on the issued and outstanding capital stock, options and other securities of the Company. No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right,
right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents that have not been effectively waived as of the Closing Date. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(g) or a result of
the purchase and sale of the Shares and Warrants, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue
additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(g), the issuance and sale of the Shares and Warrants will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any
Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance in all material respects with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive
rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities which violation would have or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements
with respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the Company’s Knowledge, between or among any of the Company’s stockholders. 

(h) SEC Reports; Disclosure Materials. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be
filed by it under the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the 12 months preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law or regulation to file such material) (the foregoing
materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”, and the SEC Reports, together with the Disclosure Schedules, being
collectively referred to as the “Disclosure

Materials”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension, except
where the failure to file on a timely basis would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and would not have or reasonably be expected to result in any limitation or prohibition on the Company’s ability to
register the Shares and Warrant Shares for resale on Form S-1 or any Purchaser’s ability to use Rule 144 to resell any Securities. As of their respective filing dates, or to the extent corrected by a subsequent amendment, the SEC Reports
complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each of the Material Contracts to which
the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or to which the property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are subject has been filed (or incorporated by reference) as an exhibit to the SEC Reports. 

(i) Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects
with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing (or to the extent corrected by a subsequent amendment). Such consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved, except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all
footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a whole as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the
periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial year-end audit adjustments.

to existing Company stock option or stock purchase plans or executive and director compensation arrangements disclosed in the SEC Reports. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(j) and except for the issuance of the Shares and Warrants
contemplated by this Agreement, no event, liability or development has 

  
 14 








 
occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective business, properties, operations or financial condition, that would be required to be disclosed by the
Company under applicable securities laws at the time this representation is made that has not been publicly disclosed at least one Trading Day prior to the date that this representation is made. 

(k) Litigation. There is no Action which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the
Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) except as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(k), would, if there were an unfavorable decision, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. During the past five years, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the Company’s Knowledge any director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or
state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty. There has not been, and to the Company’s Knowledge there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the Commission involving the Company or any current or former director
or officer of the Company. During the past five years, the Commission has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act. 

(l) Employment Matters. No material labor dispute exists or, to the Company’s Knowledge, is imminent with respect to any of the employees
of the Company which would have or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s employees is a member of a labor union that relates to such employee’s relationship with
the Company, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(l), no executive officer of the Company (as defined in Rule 501(f) of the Securities Act)
has notified the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that such officer intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. To the Company’s Knowledge,
no executive officer or key employee, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or
agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third party, and to the Company’s Knowledge, the continued employment of each such executive officer or key employee does not subject the Company or any Subsidiary to any liability with
respect to any of the foregoing matters, except, in each case, matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local
and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (m) Compliance. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) is in default
under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under), nor has the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
received written notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any Material Contract (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of any court, arbitrator


  
 15 








 
or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their properties or assets, or (iii) is in violation of, or in receipt of written notice that it is in
violation of, any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in each case as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 (n) Regulatory Permits. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries possesses all certificates, authorizations and
permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct its business as currently conducted, except as set forth in the SEC Reports, or such that where the failure to possess such permits,
individually or in the aggregate, has not and would not have or would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received
any notice of Proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Material Permits. 
 (o) Title to Assets. The Company and
each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all tangible personal property owned by it that is material to its business, in each case free and clear of all Liens except such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do
not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries are held by it under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with
such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and its Subsidiaries. 

(p) Patents and Trademarks. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(p), to the Company’s Knowledge, the Company and each of its
Subsidiaries owns, possesses, licenses or has other rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trade and service marks, trade and service mark applications and registrations, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses,
technology, know-how and other intellectual property rights and similar rights necessary or material for use in connection with its businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure to so would have or reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(p), to the Company’s Knowledge, none of the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or
any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary rights of any Person. There is no pending or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened Proceeding or claim by any Person that the
Company’s or any Subsidiary’s business as now conducted infringes or otherwise violates any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary rights of another. To the Company’s Knowledge, there is no existing
infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights that would have or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no pending or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened Proceeding or claim
by another Person challenging the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s rights in or to any material Intellectual Property Rights, or challenging inventorship, validity or scope of any such Intellectual Property Rights. The Company has taken
reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of its and its Subsidiaries’ Intellectual Property Rights, except where failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the technology employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has 

  
 16 








 
been obtained or is being used by the Company or any Subsidiary in violation of any contractual obligation binding on the Company or any Subsidiary or, to the Company’s Knowledge, any of its
or its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors or employees or otherwise in violation of the rights of any Person, which violations would have or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(q) Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and
risks and in such amounts as the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses and locations in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of
cancellation of any such insurance, nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, will it or any Subsidiary be unable to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be
necessary to continue its business without a material increase in cost. 
 (r) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set
forth in the SEC Reports, none of the executive officers or directors of the Company and, to the Company’s Knowledge, none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company (other than for services as
employees, officers and directors) that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. 

(s) Internal Accounting Controls. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance
that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain
asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and
liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. 

(t) Sarbanes-Oxley; Disclosure Controls. The Company is in compliance in all material respects with all of the provisions of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which are applicable to it. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) for the Company and designed such disclosure
controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the
Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Company’s most recently filed
periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the
effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is
defined in the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 (u) Certain Fees. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(u), no Person will have, as a result
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company or a Purchaser for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by
or on behalf of the Company, other than the Placement Agent and the Co-Placement Agents with respect to the offer and sale of the Shares and Warrants (which fees are being paid by the Company). The Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to
any fees or with respect to any claim made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this paragraph (u) pursuant to any agreement to which the Company is a party that may be due in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company shall indemnify, pay, and hold each Purchaser harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in

Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to terminate the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act, nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration.
The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received written notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance
requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is in compliance with all listing and maintenance requirements of the Principal Trading Market on the date hereof and the issuance of the Securities will not violate any such listing or maintenance
requirements. 
 (z) Application of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreements. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary
action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under 

  
 18 








 
a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s charter documents or the laws of its state of incorporation that is
or could reasonably be expected to become applicable to any of the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the
Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities. 
 (aa) Disclosure. The Company confirms
that it has not provided, and to the Company’s Knowledge, none of its officers or directors nor any other Person acting on its or their behalf has provided, and it has not authorized the Placement Agent or the Co-Placement Agents to provide,
any Purchaser or its respective agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes material, non-public information except insofar as the existence, provisions and terms of the Transaction Documents and the proposed transactions
hereunder may constitute such information, all of which will be disclosed by the Company in the Press Release as contemplated by Section 4.6 hereof. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing
representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

the offer and sale by the Company of the Securities as contemplated hereby or (ii) cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable
law, regulation or stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated unless such integration would not have or
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

accurately and timely prepared and filed (or requested valid extensions thereof) all foreign, federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has paid all

case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, where the failure to so pay or file any such tax, assessment, charge or return would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not received notice of any
unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the Company or any Subsidiary by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction.

or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection
with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

the Company or any Subsidiary is the subject, including any proceeding before the United States Food and Drug Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“FDA”) or comparable federal, state, local or

such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others. The Company and each Subsidiary is in compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and non-U.S. laws, regulations, orders and decrees

 3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser hereby, for itself
and for no other Purchaser, represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company, the Placement Agent and the Co-Placement Agents as follows: 

(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate, limited liability company or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry
out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Purchaser and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
or, if such Purchaser is not a corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and
when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application. 

(b) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and the
consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Purchaser, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with
notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Purchaser is a party, or (iii) result
in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Purchaser, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or
violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder. 

(c) Investment Intent. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under
the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Shares and Warrants and, upon exercise of the Warrants, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof as principal for its own account and not with a
view to, or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Purchaser does not
agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum period of time and reserves the right, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such
Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities
hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser does not presently have any agreement, plan or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute or effect any distribution of any of the Securities (or


  
 22 








 
any securities which are derivatives thereof) to or through any Person; such Purchaser is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act or an entity engaged in a
business that would require it to be so registered as a broker-dealer. 
 (d) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the
Shares and Warrants, it was, and at the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises the Warrants it will be, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

ARTICLE IV 
 OTHER AGREEMENTS OF
THE PARTIES 
 4.1 Transfer Restrictions. 

(a) Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV, each Purchaser, severally but not jointly, covenants that the
Securities may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Securities other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement,
(ii) to the Company, (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 (provided that such Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and, if applicable, broker representation letters) that the securities may be sold
pursuant to such rule) or (iv) in connection with a bona fide pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and
reasonably acceptable to the 

  
 24 








 
Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities
under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement with respect to such transferred Securities. 
 (b) Legends. Certificates evidencing the Securities shall bear
any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form, until such time as they are not required under Section 4.1(c): 

[NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED] [THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED] UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (B) AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS TRANSFER AGENT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT. 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest in, some or all of the
legended Securities in connection with applicable securities laws, pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in compliance with a bona fide margin loan. Such a pledge would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal opinion of
legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion shall be required in connection with a subsequent transfer or foreclosure following default by such Purchaser transferee
of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge, but such Purchaser’s transferee shall promptly notify the Company of any such subsequent transfer or foreclosure of such legended Securities. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the
Company shall not be responsible for any pledges relating to, or the grant of any security interest in, any of the Securities or for any agreement, understanding or arrangement between any Purchaser and its pledgee or secured party. At the
appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including the
preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the 

  
 25 








 
Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders thereunder. Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(c), any Securities
subject to a pledge or security interest as contemplated by this Section 4.1(b) shall continue to bear the legend set forth in this Section 4.1(b) and be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4.1(a). 

(c) Removal of Legends. The legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate or
book-entry statement without such legend or any other legend to the holder of the applicable Securities upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”), if (i) such Securities are registered for resale under the Securities Act (provided that, if a Purchaser is selling pursuant to the Registration Statement, such Purchaser agrees to only sell such Securities
during such time that the Registration Statement is effective and not withdrawn or suspended, and only as permitted by the Registration Statement), (ii) such Securities are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an
Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) such Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without
volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. Following the earlier of (i) the Effective Date or (ii) Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of Securities, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public
information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, the Company shall deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall reissue a certificate representing
the applicable Shares or issue a certificate representing the applicable Warrant Shares without legend upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of the legended certificates for such Shares. Any fees (with respect to the Transfer Agent or otherwise)
associated with the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company. Following the Effective Date, or at such earlier time as a legend is no longer required for certain Securities (in which case a Purchaser shall also be required to provide
reasonable assurances, in the form of seller and, if applicable, broker representation letters), the Company will no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent (with notice to the
Company) of (i) a legended certificate representing Shares or Warrant Shares (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer) or (ii) an Exercise
Notice and payment of the applicable exercise price in the manner stated in the Warrants to effect the exercise of such Warrant in accordance with its terms, and an opinion of counsel to the extent required by Section 4.1(a), deliver or cause
to be delivered to the transferee of such Purchaser or such Purchaser, as applicable, a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give
instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.1(c) other than to comply with applicable law. Certificates or book entry statements for Shares or Warrant Shares subject to legend removal
hereunder may be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s prime broker with DTC as directed by such Purchaser. 

(d) Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to the Transfer Agent, and any subsequent
transfer agent, in substantially the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). The 

  
 26 








 
Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 4.1(d) (or instructions that are consistent therewith)
will be given by the Company to the Transfer Agent in connection with this Agreement, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents and applicable law. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section 4.1(d) will cause irreparable harm to a Purchaser. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law
for a breach of its obligations under this Section 4.1(d) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 4.1(d), that a Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition
to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. 

(e) Acknowledgement. Each Purchaser, severally but not jointly, acknowledges its primary responsibilities under the Securities Act and
accordingly will not sell or otherwise transfer the Securities or any interest therein without complying with the requirements of the Securities Act and applicable law. While the Registration Statement remains effective, each Purchaser hereunder may
sell the Shares and Warrant Shares in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the Registration Statement and if it does so it will comply therewith and with the related prospectus delivery requirements unless an exemption therefrom is
available. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that if it is notified by the Company in writing at any time that the Registration Statement registering the resale of the Shares or the Warrant Shares is not
effective or that the prospectus included in such Registration Statement no longer complies with the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act, such Purchaser will refrain from selling such Shares and Warrant Shares until such time as
the Purchaser is notified by the Company that such Registration Statement is effective or such prospectus is compliant with Section 10 of the Securities Act, unless such Purchaser is able to, and does, sell such Shares or Warrant Shares
pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act. Both the Company and its Transfer Agent, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, may rely on this
Section 4.1(e) and each Purchaser, severally but not jointly, with the other Purchasers will indemnify and hold harmless each of such persons from any breaches or violations of this Section 4.1(e). 

(f) Buy-In. If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to a Purchaser unlegended certificates or book-entry statements
within three Trading Days after receipt of all documents necessary for the removal of the legend set forth above (the “Deadline Date”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Purchaser, if on or after the
Trading Day immediately following such three Trading Day period, such Purchaser is required to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the holder of shares of Common Stock
that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three Trading Days after such Purchaser’s request and in the Company’s sole
discretion, either (i) pay cash to such Purchaser in an amount equal to such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In
Price”), at which point the shares of Common Stock held by such Purchaser equal to the number of shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be forfeited to the 

  
 27 








 
Company and the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate or book-entry statement (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its
obligation to deliver to such Purchaser a certificate or certificates or book-entry statements representing such shares of Common Stock and pay cash to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of
(a) such number of shares of Common Stock, multiplied by (b) the Closing Bid Price on the Deadline Date. A Purchaser shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Purchaser in respect of the Buy-In,
together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. 
 4.2 Reservation of Common Stock.

 (a) The Company shall take all action necessary to at all times during the period the Warrants are outstanding have authorized, and
reserved for the purpose of issuance from and after the Closing Date, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants issued at the Closing (without taking into account any limitations on exercise of the Warrants set
forth in the Warrants). 
 (b) The Company shall reserve and keep available at all times during which the Preferred Shares remain
outstanding, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue the Underlying Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares pursuant to the Certificate of Designation. The form
of Notice of Conversion included in the Certificate of Designation sets forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to convert the Preferred Shares. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be
required of the Purchasers to convert their Preferred Shares. The Company shall honor conversions of the Preferred Shares and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction
Documents. 
 4.3 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Shares may result in dilution of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation its obligation to issue the
Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any
Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company. 

4.4 Furnishing of Information. In order to enable the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144, until the earlier of
(i) the date that the Securities cease to be Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) (and for no less than 12 months from the Closing), (ii) the date that is 24 months from the Closing or (iii) a
Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrant) pursuant to which the Company is no longer a reporting company under the Exchange Act, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect
thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. 

  
 28 








 
Except as set forth in clause (iii) above, during such period, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and
make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144. 

4.5 No Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company
shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would
require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers, or that will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would
require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction. 

4.6 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. On or before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the
date hereof, the Company shall issue a press release (the “Press Release”) reasonably acceptable to the Placement Agent disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. On or before 5:30 p.m., New York
City time, on the fourth Trading Day immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission describing the terms of the Transaction Documents (and including as exhibits to such
Current Report on Form 8-K the material Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement, the form of Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the
name of any Purchaser or an Affiliate of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser or an Affiliate of any Purchaser in any press release or filing with the Commission (other than the Registration Statement) or any regulatory agency or
Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as required by federal securities law in connection with (A) any registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (B) the
filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto) with the Commission and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, request of the Staff of the Commission or Trading Market regulations, in which case the
Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior written notice of such disclosure permitted under this subclause (ii). From and after the issuance of the Press Release, no Purchaser shall be in possession of any material, non-public information
received from the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents, that is not disclosed in the Press Release unless a Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding confidentiality and use of such information. Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that it will comply with the provisions of any confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement executed by it and, in addition, until such time as the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement are required to be publicly disclosed by the Company as described in this Section 4.6, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence
and terms of this transaction). 
 4.7 Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent
of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution 

  
 29 








 
under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such
plan or arrangement, in either case solely by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other written agreement between the Company and the Purchasers. 

4.8 Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents, including this Agreement, or as expressly required by any applicable securities law, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide any Purchaser or its agents or
counsel with any information regarding the Company that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information without the express written consent of such Purchaser, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written
agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. 

4.9 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares and Warrants hereunder for working capital and
general corporate purposes. 
 4.10 Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company
will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title
or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees
(and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and
all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party
may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (ii) any Action instituted
against a Purchaser in any capacity, or any Purchaser Party, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser seeking indemnification, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
(unless such Action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any other agreement with the Company, or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser may have with
any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). Promptly after receipt by any such Person
(the “Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any Proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
to this Section 4.10, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall
assume the payment of all fees and 

  
 30 








 
expenses relating to such Proceeding or investigation; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations
hereunder except to the extent that the Company is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such
proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such proceeding; or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned or to the extent fees or costs incurred pursuant to this Section 4.10 are attributable to the Indemnified Person’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Purchasers in this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified
Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding. 
 4.11 Listing of Securities. In the time and manner required by the
Principal Trading Market, the Company shall prepare and file with such Principal Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering all of the Shares and Warrant Shares and shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all steps
necessary to cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares to be approved for listing on the Principal Trading Market as promptly as possible thereafter. 

4.12 Form D; Blue Sky. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under
Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon the written request of any Purchaser. The Company, on or before the Closing Date, shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an
exemption for or to qualify the Securities for sale to the Purchasers at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such
qualification) and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon the written request of any Purchaser. 
 4.13 Short Sales and
Confidentiality After The Date Hereof. Such Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Trading Affiliates not to, engage, directly or indirectly, in any transactions in the Company’s securities (including, without limitation, any Short Sales
involving the Company’s securities) during the period from the date hereof until the earlier of such time as (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced as required by and described in Section 4.6
or (ii) this Agreement is terminated in full pursuant to Section 6.18. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly
disclosed by the Company as described in Section 4.5, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents and


  
 31 








 
Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in Short Sales in the securities of the Company
after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section 4.5; provided, however, each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly with any Purchasers, that they will not
enter into any Net Short Sales (as hereinafter defined) from the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the earliest of (x) the Effective Date of the initial Registration Statement, (y) the second anniversary of the Closing
Date or (z) the date that such Purchaser no longer holds any Securities. For purposes of this Section 4.13, a “Net Short Sale” by any Purchaser shall mean a sale of Common Stock by such Purchaser that is marked as a
non-exempt short sale and that is made at a time when there is no equivalent offsetting long position in Common Stock held by such Purchaser. For purposes of determining whether there is an equivalent offsetting position in Common Stock held by the
Purchaser, Warrant Shares that have not yet been issued pursuant to the exercise of Warrants shall be deemed to be held long by the Purchaser, and the amount of shares of Common Stock held in a long position shall be all Shares and unexercised
Warrant Shares (ignoring any exercise limitations included therein) issuable to such Purchaser on such date, plus any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents otherwise then held by such Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that a Purchaser is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the
portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall apply only with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that have knowledge about the financing
transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Moreover, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Purchaser has sold Securities pursuant to Rule 144 prior to the Effective Date of the initial Registration Statement and the Company has failed
to deliver certificates book-entry statements without legends prior to the settlement date for such sale (assuming that such certificates or book-entry statements meet the requirements set forth in Section 4.1(c) for the removal of legends),
the provisions of this Section 4.13 shall not prohibit the Purchaser from entering into Net Short Sales for the purpose of delivering shares of Common Stock in settlement of such sale. 

4.14 Delivery of Shares and Warrants After Closing. The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the respective Shares and
Warrants purchased by each Purchaser to such Purchaser within three Trading Days of the Closing Date. 
 4.15 Participation Rights.
From the date hereof until the date that is 24 months after the Closing Date (the “Participation Period”), the Purchaser listed on Schedule 4.15 (the “Lead Investor”) shall have the right to
participate any unregistered private offerings (in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Act) undertaken by the Company of its Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in a financing
transaction (a “Subsequent Financing”) following the Closing Date in an amount up to its Pro Rata Portion, up to a cap of $50 million. At least five Business Days prior to the execution of definitive documentation for a
Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to the Lead Investor a written notice (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall notify the Lead Investor that the Company would like to share with the Lead Investor certain
information which may constitute material non-public information with regard to the Company and which shall ask the Lead Investor if it wants to review such information. The Lead Investor shall have the right, exercisable within two


  
 32 








 
Business Days after its receipt of the Pre-Notice, to notify the Company whether it wishes to review such information. Upon the written request of the Lead Investor, and only upon a request by
such Lead Investor, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one Business Day after receipt of such request, deliver a subsequent notice to the Lead Investor (a “Subsequent Financing Notice”), which Subsequent Financing
Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing. The Lead Investor shall notify the Company by 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day after its receipt of the Subsequent Financing Notice
of its willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing on the terms described in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Lead Investor fails to timely notify the Company of its willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the
Company may effect such Subsequent Financing without the participation of the Lead Investor on substantially the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice; provided that the Company must provide the Lead Investor with a second
Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Lead Investor will again have the participation right set forth above in this Section 4.15, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on
substantially the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within 60 Business Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice; provided further, that if the only material change in terms on such second Subsequent
Financing Notice relates to the number of shares to be sold or the price at which such shares are to be sold, then the Lead Investor shall notify the Company by 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day after its receipt of such
second Subsequent Financing Notice of its willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing on the revised terms described in such Subsequent Financing Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.15 shall not apply in respect of
the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, consultants, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan (or a bona fide inducement grant to new employees outside of any such plan) duly
adopted by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, (b) securities upon the exercise of or conversion of
any convertible securities or warrants issued and outstanding on or after the date of or pursuant to this Agreement or any options held by current or former employees or consultants of the Company, (c) shares of Common Stock or securities
convertible into Common Stock issued in connection with acquisitions, asset purchases, licenses, joint ventures, technology license agreements, collaborations or strategic transactions involving the Company and other entities approved by the Board
of Directors, or (d) securities issued to financial institutions or lessors in connection with credit or lending arrangements, equipment financings or lease arrangements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 4.15
shall not require the Company to take any action that would require shareholder approval under applicable stock exchange rules or result in a violation of law or stock exchange rule or regulation. 

4.16 Consent to Registered Offerings. Until the expiration of the Participation Period, the Company covenants that it shall not
consummate a primary offering by the Company of securities issued in an offering registered under the Securities Act without the prior written consent of the Lead Investor; provided that such consent shall be deemed to have been granted if:
(i) the Company or its underwriter, placement agent or financial advisor in good faith attempts to inform the Lead Investor of such offering on a confidential basis pursuant to a customary “wall crossing” procedure and the Lead
Investor declines to speak with the Company or its underwriter, placement agent or financial advisor regarding the offering (i.e., it does not come 

  
 33 








 
“over the wall”) (it being understood that the Lead Investor will be deemed to have “declined to speak” to the Company or its underwriter, placement agent or financial
advisor, and thus have given consent to such offering, if it could not be reached or does not provide a response within 48 hours after such good faith attempt to inform the Lead Investor of such offering); or (ii) the Company or its
underwriter, placement agent or financial advisor contacts the Lead Investor following the first public announcement of the public offering and the Lead Investor is offered an allocation of or is allocated in such offering the lesser of:
(A) its requested allocation in such public offering or (B) its Pro Rata Portion, up to a cap of $50 million; or (iii) if the Lead Investor cannot be found or is not responsive during the period between the first public announcement
of the public offering and the pricing of such public offering (which may be the same day as the announcement in the case of a confidentially marketed public offering). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 4.16 shall
not (1) apply to any offering or sale of securities on Form S-8 or Form S-4, or any similar or successor forms, (2) apply to the filing or effectiveness of any shelf registration statement, whether covering potential sales of Company
securities by the Company or resales of Company securities by selling security holders, (3) apply to offers or sales under any resale registration statement by security holders of the Company, (4) apply to any offering or sale pursuant to
an “at the market” offering by the Company or (5) require the Company to take any action that would require shareholder approval under applicable stock exchange rules or result in a violation of law or stock exchange rule or
regulation.

Company and each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with any other Purchaser, shall pay the fees and expenses of their respective advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party in connection
with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the sale and issuance of the Securities to the
Purchasers. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with any other Purchaser, shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring the Securities by it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall reimburse the Lead Investor for its fees and expenses incurred in connection with the purchase of the Securities and the registration of such Securities under the Registration Rights Agreement, such fees not to exceed $25,000 in the aggregate.

 6.2 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, discussions and representations, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged
into such documents, exhibits and schedules. At or after the Closing, and without further consideration, the Company and the Purchasers will execute and deliver to the other such further documents as may be reasonably requested in order to give
practical effect to the intention of the parties under the Transaction Documents.

communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile

6.4 Amendments; Waivers; No Additional Consideration. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended
except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Purchasers holding or having the right to acquire a majority of the Shares and the Warrant Shares on a fully-diluted basis at the time of such amendment
(which amendment shall be binding on all Purchasers or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought). No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any
manner impair the exercise of any such right. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Purchaser to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any Transaction Document that, by its terms, applies to all Purchasers,
unless the same consideration is also offered to all Purchasers who then hold Securities. 
 6.5 Construction. The headings herein
are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express
their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party
by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents. 

  
 37 








 6.6 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by the Company without the written consent of Purchasers holding or having the right to acquire a
majority of the Shares and the Warrant Shares on a fully-diluted basis at the time of such consent except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction. Any Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder in whole or in part to any Person to
whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities in compliance with the Transaction Documents and applicable law, provided that such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement that apply to the “Purchasers”. 
 6.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is
intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except (i) the Placement Agent and the
Co-Placement Agents are intended third party beneficiaries of Article III hereof and (ii) each Purchaser Party is an intended third party beneficiary of Section 4.10. 

6.8 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement
and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the New York Courts. Each
party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with
respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such New York Court, or that such
Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or
certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 
 6.9
Survival. Subject to applicable statute of limitations, the representations, warranties agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities. 

6.10 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one
and the same agreement and shall become 

  
 38 








 
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any
signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with
the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof. 
 6.11 Severability. If any provision of
this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree
upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement. 

6.12 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the
Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company and the Transfer Agent of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Transfer Agent for
any losses in connection therewith or, if required by the Transfer Agent, a bond in such form and amount as is required by the Transfer Agent. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable
third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated
certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement. 
 6.13 Remedies. In addition to being entitled
to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not
be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any
Action for a temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
 6.14 Payment Set Aside. To the
extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any
part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under
any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 

  
 39 








 6.15 Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any stock split,
subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar
recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares or a price per share shall be deemed to be amended to appropriately account for such event. 

6.16 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document
are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to
purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets,
properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any Subsidiary which may have been made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no
Purchaser and any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statement or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction
Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way
acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its
investment hereunder and that no Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to
independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party
in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, Purchasers and their respective
counsels have chosen to communicate with the Company through Goodwin Procter LLP, counsel to the Placement Agent. Each Purchaser acknowledges that Goodwin Procter LLP has rendered legal advice to the Placement Agent and not to such Purchaser in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that each such Purchaser has relied for such matters on the advice of its own respective counsel. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction
Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Purchaser. 
 6.17 Waiver of
Conflicts. Each Purchaser acknowledges that Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., outside general counsel to the Company, has in the past performed and is or may now or in the future represent one or more Purchasers or their
Affiliates in matters unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the this Agreement, including representation of such Purchasers or their Affiliates in matters of a similar nature to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The applicable
rules of professional conduct 

  
 40 








 
require that Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. inform the Purchasers hereunder of this representation and obtain their consent. Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo,
P.C. has served as outside general counsel to the Company and has negotiated the terms of this Agreement solely on behalf of the Company. Each Purchaser hereby (a) acknowledges that they have had an opportunity to ask for and have obtained
information relevant to such representation; (b) acknowledges that with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. has represented solely the Company, and not any Purchaser or
any stockholder, director or employee of the Company or any Purchaser; and (c) gives its informed consent to Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C.’s representation of the Company in the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. 
 6.18 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the sale and purchase of the Shares and the Warrants abandoned
at any time prior to the Closing by either the Company or any Purchaser (with respect to itself only) upon written notice to the other, if the Closing has not been consummated on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Outside Date;
provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.18 shall not be available to any Person whose failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure
of the Closing to occur on or before such time. Nothing in this Section 6.18 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents
or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 6.18, the Company shall
promptly notify all non-terminating Purchasers. Upon a termination in accordance with this Section 6.18, the Company and the terminating Purchaser(s) shall not have any further obligation or liability (including arising from such termination)
to the other, and no Purchaser will have any liability to any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents as a result therefrom. The Company and any Purchaser(s) may extend the term of this Agreement in accordance with the amendment provisions
of Section 6.4 herein.

ACCREDITED INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE 

(ALL INFORMATION WILL BE TREATED CONFIDENTIALLY) 
  

	To:	Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 

 This Investor Questionnaire (“Questionnaire”) must be completed
by each potential investor in connection with the offer and sale of the shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, certain warrants and shares of common stock that may be issued upon exercise of such warrants (collectively, the
“Securities”), of Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”). The Securities are being offered and sold by the Corporation without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Act”), and the securities laws of certain states, in reliance on the exemptions contained in Section 4(2) of the Act and on Regulation D promulgated thereunder and in reliance on similar exemptions under
applicable state laws. The Corporation must determine that a potential investor meets certain suitability requirements before offering or selling Securities to such investor. The purpose of this Questionnaire is to assure the Corporation that each
investor will meet the applicable suitability requirements. The information supplied by you will be used in determining whether you meet such criteria, and reliance upon the private offering exemptions from registration is based in part on the
information herein supplied. 
 This Questionnaire does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Your answers will
be kept strictly confidential. However, by signing this Questionnaire, you will be authorizing the Corporation to provide a completed copy of this Questionnaire to such parties as the Corporation deems appropriate in order to ensure that the offer
and sale of the Securities will not result in a violation of the Act or the securities laws of any state and that you otherwise satisfy the suitability standards applicable to purchasers of the Securities. All potential investors must answer all
applicable questions and complete, date and sign this Questionnaire. Please print or type your responses and attach additional sheets of paper if necessary to complete your answers to any item.

Form of Opinion of Company Counsel 

1. The Company is qualified to conduct business as a foreign corporation in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 

2. Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance

equity principles and to limitations on availability of equitable relief, including specific performance.

performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the compliance with the terms and provisions thereof by the Company and the issuance and sale of the Securities by the Company will not (a) violate or conflict with any law, rule or

agreement to which the Company is a party or bound (this opinion being limited (i) to those agreements identified on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Material Contracts”) and (ii) in that we express no opinion with
respect to any violation or default (A) arising under or based upon any cross- default provision insofar as it relates to a violation or default under an agreement not identified on Exhibit A attached hereto, (B) arising as a result
of any violation or default under any agreement or covenant by failure to comply with any financial or numerical requirement requiring computation or (C) under any provisions therein relating to the occurrence of a “material adverse

 Re: Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Pieris Pharmaceuticals,
Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 2, 2016, with the buyers named therein (collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to
which the Company issued to the Purchasers shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the
“Warrants”). Pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement of even date, the Company agreed to register the resale of the Common Stock, including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
(collectively, the “Registrable Securities”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights
Agreement, on              ,         , the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File
No. 333-            ) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating to
the Registrable Securities which names each of the Purchasers as a selling stockholder thereunder and set forth as Exhibit A hereto. 

In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the Commission’s staff has advised us by telephone that the Commission
has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act at          [a.m.][p.m.] on             ,
        , and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the 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 Commission and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement. Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that as of the date of this
opinion, the Registrable Securities have been duly authorized and, when issued by you, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and are registered for resale under the Securities Act under the effective Registration Statement and may
be issued without a restrictive legend. 
 This letter shall serve as our standing notice to you that the Common Stock may be freely
transferred by the Purchasers pursuant to the Registration Statement. You need not require further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance or reissuance of shares of Common Stock to the Purchasers or the transferees of the
Purchasers, as the case may be, as contemplated by the Company’s Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions dated June 8, 2016, provided at the time of such reissuance, the Company has not otherwise notified you that the Registration
Statement is unavailable for the resale of the Registrable Securities. This letter shall serve as our standing instructions with regard to this matter.
