The information contained in Item 3.02 below relating to the various agreements described therein is incorporated herein by reference. All descriptions of the agreements described below are qualified in their entirety by reference to the form of the relevant agreement that is filed as an exhibit to this Report and incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.**

**The Offering**

On April 20, 2026, Palomino Laboratories Inc. (the "**Company**") entered into subscription agreements (each a "**Subscription Agreement**") with certain accredited investors and sold in an initial closing (the "**Initial Closing**") of a private placement (the "**Offering**") an aggregate of 3,773,853 shares (the "**Shares**") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "**Common Stock**"), for an aggregate purchase price of $15,095,412.00, at a purchase price of $4.00 per Share. The Company and Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd. (the "**Placement Agent**") may conduct additional closings until April 30, 2026 (together with the Initial Closing, the "**Closings**", and each a "**Closing**") of the Offering at their discretion for up to $30,000,000. Each investor in any closing subsequent to the date of the filing of this Report will be required to represent that, as of the date of entering into the subscription agreement and the date of the applicable closing, it (i) has a substantive, pre-existing relationship with us or has direct contact with us or the Placement Agent outside of the Offering, and (ii) did not independently contact us or a Placement Agent or become interested in the Offering as a result of reading or otherwise being aware of this current Report, any press release or any other public disclosure disclosing the terms of the Offering.

In connection with the Offering, the Placement Agent will be paid at each Closing (i) a cash fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the gross proceeds delivered to the Company on a closing date by parties introduced by the Placement Agent and (ii) five percent (5%) of the gross proceeds delivered to the Company on a closing date by parties introduced by the Company, as well as a non-allocable expense reimbursement equal to two (2%) of the gross proceeds delivered by Placement Agent introduced investors on a closing date to the Company, and one (1%) of the gross proceeds delivered by Company introduced investors on a closing date to the Company. The Placement Agent will also receive, at the final closing of the Offering, warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Common Stock sold to Placement Agent introduced parties which are exercisable for five (5) years and have an exercise price equal to 120% of the lowest price per share of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to investors in the Offering. The Company has agreed to pay certain other expenses of the Placement Agent, including the fees and expenses of its counsel, in connection with the Offering. Subject to certain customary exceptions, the Company will also indemnify the Placement Agent to the fullest extent permitted by law against certain liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the Offering, including certain civil liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, and, where such indemnification is not available, to contribute to the payments the Placement Agent and its sub-agents may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as <u>Exhibit 4.1</u> and incorporated herein by reference.

**Registration Rights Agreement**

In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, by and among the Company and the purchasers of Shares pursuant to the Offering (the "**Registration Rights Agreement**"). Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to file a resale registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**SEC**") as soon as commercially reasonable, registering for resale the Registrable Securities (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). The Company will also use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the initial filing date.

If fewer than all of the Registrable Securities are included in the registration statement when it becomes effective, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts within sixty (60) calendar days after the effective date of the registration statement, or as soon as within thirty (30) business days after the first date that is permitted by the SEC, to register for resale as many of the Reduction Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) as the SEC will permit (pro rata among the holders of such Reduction Securities) using one or more registration statements that it is then entitled to use, and to cause such registration statement(s) to become effective as soon as practicable, until all of the Reduction Securities have been so registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register such Reduction Securities during a Blackout Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).

The holders of Registrable Securities shall have "piggyback" registration rights for Registrable Securities not registered as provided above with respect to any registration statement filed by the Company following the effectiveness of the aforementioned registration statement that would permit the inclusion of such underlying shares, subject, in an underwritten offering, to customary cut-back on a pro rata basis among the holders of Registrable Shares if the underwriter or the Company determines that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares of stock or other securities to be underwritten.

The Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Placement Agent (the "**Laidlaw Registration Rights Agreement**") that provides for the registration of such holder's Registrable Securities (as defined in the Laidlaw Registration Rights Agreement), as and when the Company qualifies to file on Form S-3. The other terms of the Laidlaw Registration Rights Agreement are substantially similar to the Registration Rights Agreement (together with the Registration Rights Agreement, "**Registration Rights Agreements**").

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Registration Rights Agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as <u>Exhibit 10.1</u> and <u>Exhibit 10.2</u> and are incorporated herein by reference.

## Exhibit 4.1

**Exhibit 4.1**

EXECUTION VERSION

**SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT**

This Subscription Agreement (this "**<u>Agreement</u>**") has been entered into by and between the purchaser set forth on the Omnibus Signature Page hereof (the "**<u>Purchaser</u>**") and **Palomino Laboratories Inc.,** a Delaware corporation (the "**<u>Company</u>**").

**R E C I T A L S**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. The Company is offering a minimum of 3,750,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("**<u>Common Stock</u>**"), at a purchase price of $4.00 per share (the "**<u>Per Share Purchase Price</u>**"), for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000 (the "**<u>Minimum Offering Amount</u>**"), and a maximum of 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock at the Per Share Purchase Price, for an aggregate purchase price of $30,000,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. The Placement Agent (as defined below) or its Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, shareholders or employees may (but are not obligated to) also purchase Shares (as defined below) in the Offering ("**<u>Placement Agent Investments</u>**"), and to the extent they do so, such purchases will be counted towards the achievement of the Minimum Offering Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. None of the Shares (sometimes referred to herein as the "**<u>Securities</u>**") subscribed for pursuant to this Agreement have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "**<u>Securities Act</u>**") or any state or foreign securities Law. This private placement offering (this "**<u>Offering</u>**") is being made on a reasonable "best efforts" basis to "accredited investors," as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D.

**AGREEMENT**

The Company and the Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. **<u>Subscription</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Purchase and Sale of the Shares</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to purchase, and the Company agrees to sell and issue to the Purchaser, that number of Shares set forth on the Purchaser's Omnibus Signature Page attached hereto at the Per Share Purchase Price, for a total aggregate purchase price for such Shares as set forth on such Omnibus Signature Page (the "**<u>Purchase Price</u>**"). The minimum subscription amount for each purchaser in the Offering is $100,000 (or 25,000 Shares). The Company may accept subscriptions for less than $100,000 from any Purchaser in the Offering in its sole discretion. For the purposes of this Agreement, "**<u>Shares</u>**" means the shares of Common Stock issued and sold to the Purchaser hereunder in the Offering at the Initial Closing (as defined below) and at any Subsequent Closing (as defined below).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) In connection with this Offering, the Company has entered or will enter into other subscription agreements in the same form and containing the same terms and conditions as this Agreement for Shares ("**<u>Other Shares</u>**") (each, an "**<u>Other Subscription Agreement</u>**") with purchasers in the Offering other than the Purchaser (collectively, "**<u>Other Purchasers</u>**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Subscription Procedure; Closing</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Initial Closing</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the initial closing of the Offering shall take place upon the satisfaction (or waiver as provided herein) of the conditions set forth in <u>Section 5</u> and <u>Section 6</u> of this Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature will be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction (or waiver as provided herein) of such conditions) or at such other time and place as is mutually agreed to by the Company and the Placement Agent (the "**<u>Initial Closin</u>g**" and the date that the Initial Closing occurs, the "**<u>Initial Closing Date</u>**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Subsequent Closings</u>. At any time prior to the later of (i) March 31, 2026, as may be extended to April 30, 2026 upon mutual agreement by the Company and the Placement Agent; (ii) the date on which the Maximum Offering Amount is sold by the Company; or (iii) on a date mutually agreed upon in writing by the Company and the Placement Agent, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver as provided herein) of the conditions set forth in <u>Section 5</u> and <u>Section 6</u> of this Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature will be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction (or waiver as provided herein) of such conditions) (each a "**<u>Subsequent Closing</u>**" and collectively the "**<u>Subsequent Closings</u>**" and the date that a Subsequent Closing occurs, a "**<u>Subsequent Closing Date</u>**"), the Company may sell additional Shares up to the Maximum Offering Amount to such persons as may be approved by the Company and who are reasonably acceptable to the Placement Agent, including the Purchaser.

The Initial Closing and the Subsequent Closings, if any, shall be known collectively herein as the "**<u>Closings</u>**" or individually as a "**<u>Closing</u>**." The Initial Closing Date and the Subsequent Closing Dates are each referred to herein as a "**<u>Closing Date.</u>**" Closings may take place remotely via the exchange by electronic transmission of documents and signatures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) <u>Subscription Procedure</u>. To complete a subscription for the Shares, the Purchaser must fully comply with the subscription procedure provided in subparagraphs (A) through (D) of this paragraph (iii) on or before the applicable Closing Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) <u>Subscription Documents</u>.

Executed documents may be delivered to such party by facsimile or .pdf sent by electronic mail (e-mail).

At or before the applicable Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver to Flagstar Bank, N.A., in its capacity as escrow agent (the "**<u>Escrow Agent</u>**"), under an escrow agreement among the Company, the Placement Agent and the Escrow Agent (the "**<u>Escrow Agreement</u>**") the full Purchase Price set forth on the Purchaser's Omnibus Signature Page attached hereto, by certified or other bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, pursuant to the instructions set forth under the caption "***<u>How to subscribe for Shares in the private offering of Palomino Laboratories Inc.</u>***" below. Such funds will be held for the Purchaser's benefit in the escrow account established for the Offering (the "**<u>Escrow Account</u>**"), without interest or offset as set forth in the Escrow Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) <u>Termination</u>. This Agreement shall terminate automatically and be of no further force and effect, and any amounts deposited into the Escrow Account by or on behalf of the Purchaser shall be returned to the Purchaser or its designee promptly, without interest or offset, if (i) the Purchaser and the Company agree in writing to terminate this Agreement prior to the applicable Closing, (ii) the subscription has been revoked in full by the Purchaser in accordance with <u>Section 8</u>, or (iii) prior to the applicable Closing, in the Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion, upon written notice to the Company, if any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in <u>Section 3</u> hereof shall be or shall have become inaccurate or the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any of its covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which inaccuracy, breach or failure to perform would give rise to the failure to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in <u>Section 6(a)</u> or <u>Section 6(b)</u> of this Agreement and which inaccuracy, breach or failure to perform cannot be cured by the Company or, if capable of being cured, is not cured within two (2) Business Days of the Purchaser's notice to the Company thereof. For the purposes of this Agreement, "**<u>Business Day</u>**" means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which commercial banks in New York City are open for the general transaction of business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) <u>Company Discretion</u>. The Purchaser understands and agrees that, prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, the Company in its sole discretion reserves the right to accept or reject this subscription for Shares, in whole or in part. The Company and the Purchaser shall have no obligation hereunder until the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser an executed copy of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) <u>Deliveries at Closing</u>. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser, or the Placement Agent on behalf of the Purchaser, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) this Agreement duly executed by the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) a copy of the irrevocable instructions to the Transfer Agent instructing the Transfer Agent to deliver, on an expedited basis, a certificate (or at the request of the Purchaser, a book-entry statement) evidencing a number of Shares being purchased by the Purchaser at the Closing, as set forth in the Purchaser's Omnibus Signature Page, registered in the name of the Purchaser (but notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the Closing, the Purchaser shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of such Shares, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Shares to the Purchaser); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) the certificates, legal opinion and other documents set forth in <u>Section 6</u> below.

"**<u>Transfer Agent</u>**" means VStock Transfer, LLC, with a mailing address of 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, New York 11598, and any successor transfer agent of the Company for the Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **<u>Placement Agent</u>**. Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd. (the "**<u>Placement Agent</u>**"), a U.S.-registered broker-dealer, has been engaged by the Company as the Company's exclusive placement agent, on a reasonable "best efforts" basis, for the Offering. The Placement Agent (a) will be paid at each Closing from the Offering proceeds a total cash placement fee of ten percent (10.0%) (five percent (5%) in the case of Company introduced parties) of the gross Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser and the aggregate gross purchase price paid by all Other Purchasers in the Offering at that Closing (the "**<u>Cash Fee</u>**"), (b) will be paid at each Closing from the Offering proceeds a total non-allocable expense allowance equal to two percent (2.0%) (one percent (1%) in the case of Company introduced parties) of the gross Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser and the aggregate gross purchase price paid by all Other Purchasers in the Offering at that Closing (the "**<u>Expense Allowance</u>**"), and (c) will receive warrants to purchase a total number of shares of Common Stock equal to ten percent (10.0%) of the number of Shares sold in the Offering (excluding Shares sold to Company introduced parties) at that Closing, with a term expiring five (5) years after the final Closing Date and an exercise price equal to 120% of the lowest price per share of the Shares issued or issuable to investors in the Offering (the "**<u>Placement Agent Warrants</u>**"). Any sub-agent of the Placement Agent that introduces investors to the Offering will be entitled to share in the Cash Fee, Expense Allowance and Placement Agent Warrants attributable to those investors pursuant to the terms of an executed sub-agent agreement with such Placement Agent. The Company has agreed to pay certain other expenses of the Placement Agent, including the fees and expenses of its counsel, in connection with the Offering. The Purchaser acknowledges that certain potential conflicts of interest exist in connection with this Offering. Lucius Partners LLC ("**<u>Lucius Partners</u>**") is a stockholder of the Company, having acquired its shares of Common Stock prior to the consummation of the merger between the Company and its predecessor entity. Lucius Partners is not engaged as an advisor to the Company in connection with this Offering; however, certain individuals serve in management or leadership capacities with both Lucius Partners and the Placement Agent. Specifically, Matthew Eitner, the Chief Executive Officer of the Placement Agent, James Ahern, the Managing Partner of the Placement Agent, and Patrick Gallagher, a Managing Director of the Placement Agent, are also managing members, members, and/or officers of Lucius Partners. By virtue of these overlapping roles, the Placement Agent and its associated persons have indirect material economic interests in the Company through their affiliation with Lucius Partners, in addition to the direct economic interests arising from the Placement Agent's compensation in connection with this Offering. As a result of the foregoing relationships and arrangements, potential conflicts of interest exist between the interests of the Company, on the one hand, and the interests of each of Lucius Partners and the Placement Agent and their respective officers, associated persons, and employees, on the other hand. These conflicts may include, without limitation, conflicts arising from the Placement Agent's interest in maximizing Offering proceeds (which benefits both its direct compensation and the value of Lucius Partners' equity stake in the Company), and conflicts arising from Lucius Partners' interests as a stockholder of the Company. There may also be conflicts between the best interests of the Purchaser and the interests of the Placement Agent and its officers, associated persons, and employees. By executing this Agreement and subscribing for Shares in this Offering, the Purchaser specifically acknowledges that it (a) has been informed of the foregoing potential or actual conflicts of interest, (b) understands the risks of such potential or actual conflicts, (c) acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to ask for information relevant to these disclosures, and (d) gives its informed consent to the transactions and relationships described herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **<u>Representations and Warranties of the Company</u>**. Except as set forth in (i) the Disclosure Schedule delivered to the Purchaser prior to or concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the "**<u>Disclosure Schedule</u>**"), or (ii) the SEC Reports (as defined below) (but excluding any disclosures (whether contained under the heading "Risk Factors," in any "forward-looking statements" disclaimer or in any other section) to the extent they are cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature), the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as of the applicable Closing Date, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Organization and Qualification</u>. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is a corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, and has the requisite corporate or limited liability company power to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as currently conducted and as described in the SEC Reports.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) "**<u>Benefit Plan</u>**" means any plan, program, arrangement or agreement that is a pension, profit-sharing, savings, retirement, employment, consulting, severance pay, termination, executive compensation, incentive compensation, deferred compensation, bonus, stock purchase, stock option, phantom stock or other equity-based compensation, change-in-control, retention, salary continuation, vacation, sick leave, disability, death benefit, group insurance, hospitalization, medical, dental, life (including all individual life insurance policies as to which the Company is the owner, the beneficiary, or both), Code Section 125 "cafeteria" or "flexible" benefit, employee loan, educational assistance or fringe benefit plan, program, arrangement or agreement, whether written or oral, including, without limitation, any (A) "employee benefit plan" within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder ("**<u>ERISA</u>**") or (B) other employee benefit plans, agreements, programs, policies, arrangements or payroll practices, whether or not subject to ERISA (including any funding mechanism therefor now in effect or required in the future as a result of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise), which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries sponsors or maintains for the benefit of its current or former officer, director, employee, leased employee, consultant or agent (or their respective beneficiaries), or with respect to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has, or could reasonably be expected to have, any direct or indirect present or future liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Each Benefit Plan has been established, maintained and operated in all respects in accordance with its terms and in compliance with all applicable provisions of applicable Laws, including Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, in each case, except as has not been and would not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. There are no investigations by any Governmental Authority, termination proceedings or other claims (except routine claims for benefits payable under the Benefit Plans) or Actions pending in writing (or to the Company's knowledge, orally) against any Benefit Plan or asserting any rights to or claims for benefits under any Benefit Plan that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any material liability. No non-exempt "prohibited transaction" (within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Benefit Plan. No Benefit Plan is (A) subject to Section 412 of the Code, Title IV of ERISA or Section 302 of ERISA (including a "multiemployer" plan within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA), (B) a "multiple employer plan" as defined in Section 413(c) of the Code, or (C) a "multiple employer welfare arrangement" within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA. No Benefit Plan is subject to the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States.

Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall, in connection with any other event(s), (i) result in any payment or benefit becoming due to any current or former employee, contractor or director of the Company or its Subsidiaries or under any Benefit Plan, (ii) increase any amount of compensation or benefits otherwise payable to any current or former employee, contractor or director of the Company or its Subsidiaries or under any Benefit Plan, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment, funding or vesting of any benefits to any current or former employee, contractor or director of the Company or its Subsidiaries or under any Benefit Plan, (iv) limit the right to merge, amend or terminate any Benefit Plan (except any limitations imposed by applicable Law, if any), or (v) give rise to any "excess parachute payment" as defined in Section 280G(b)(l) of the Code, any excise tax owing under Section 4999 of the Code or any other amount that would not be deductible under Section 280G of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(pp) <u>Registration of Common Stock</u>. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(qq) <u>DTC Status</u>. The Company's Transfer Agent is a participant in and the Common Stock is eligible for transfer pursuant to the Depository Trust Company Automated Securities Transfer Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **<u>Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Purchaser</u>**. The Purchaser represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company, as of the date hereof and as of the applicable Closing Date, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Purchaser has the knowledge and experience in financial and business matters necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of its prospective investment in the Company, and has carefully reviewed and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, the purchase of the Shares and the tax consequences of the investment, including, but not limited to, the "Risk Factors" set forth on <u>Exhibit B</u> hereto and in the Company's SEC Reports, and the description of the Company's business set forth in the Company's SEC Reports. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current and anticipated financial needs and contingencies and is able to bear the economic risks of the investment for an indefinite period of time and has no need for liquidity of the investment in the Shares. The Purchaser can afford the loss of his, her or its entire investment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for investment for his, her or its own account and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Offering, sale and delivery of the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities Laws, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws, which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. The Purchaser further represents that he, she or it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to any third person with respect to any of the Shares, other than with respect to an Affiliate of the Purchaser. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Offering, sale and delivery of the Securities will not be registered under the Securities Act nor under the state securities laws on the ground that the sale of the Shares to the Purchaser as provided for in this Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. The Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act for the reason(s) specified on the Accredited Investor Certification attached hereto as completed by the Purchaser, and Purchaser shall submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company. The Purchaser resides in the jurisdiction set forth on the Purchaser's Omnibus Signature Page affixed hereto. If the Purchaser is, with respect to the Company, (i) a predecessor of the Company; (ii) an Affiliated issuer; (iii) a director, executive officer, other officer participating in the offering, general partner or managing member of the Company; (iv) any beneficial owner of twenty percent (20%) or more of the Company's outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power; (v) any promoter connected with the Company in any capacity at the time of such sale; (vi) any investment manager of the Company if the Company is a pooled investment fund; (vii) any person that has been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the Offering; (viii) any general partner or managing member of any such investment manager or solicitor; or (ix) any director, executive officer or other officer participating in the offering of any such investment manager or solicitor or general partner or managing member of such investment manager or solicitor (each such category, a "**<u>Covered Person</u>**"), the Purchaser has not taken any of the actions set forth in, and is not subject to, the disqualification provisions of Rule 506(d)(1) of the Securities Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Purchaser (i) if a natural person, represents that he or she is the greater of (A) 21 years of age or (B) the age of legal majority in his or her jurisdiction of residence, and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof; (ii) if a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity, represents that such entity is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the state or jurisdiction of its organization, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is authorized by, and will not result in a violation of applicable Law or its charter or other organizational documents, such entity has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and to purchase and hold the Shares, the execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such entity and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity; or (iii) if executing this Agreement in a representative or fiduciary capacity, represents that he, she or it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement in such capacity and on behalf of the subscribing individual, ward, partnership, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity for whom the Purchaser is executing this Agreement, and such individual, partnership, ward, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity has full right and power to perform pursuant to this Agreement and make an investment in the Company, and represents that this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound, except for any violation or conflict that, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or to consummate any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to him, her or it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities Laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such securities. The Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Company is relying on the representations and warranties made by the Purchaser hereunder and that such representations and warranties are a material inducement to the Company to sell the Shares to the Purchaser. The Purchaser further acknowledges that without such representations and warranties of the Purchaser made hereunder, the Company would not enter into this Agreement with the Purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Purchaser understands that, other than as expressly provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company does not currently intend to register any of the Securities under the Securities Act at any time in the future; and the undersigned will not immediately be entitled to the benefits of Rule 144 with respect to any of the Securities. **The Purchaser understands that no public market exists for the Company's Common Stock and that there can be no assurance that any public market for the Common Stock will exist or continue to exist. The Company's Common Stock is not approved for quotation on OTC Markets or any other quotation system or listed on any exchange.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Purchaser has received, reviewed and understood the information about the Company, including all Disclosure Materials (including the SEC Reports) provided to it by the Company and/or the Placement Agent (at the Company's direction), and has had an opportunity to discuss the Company's business, management and financial affairs with the Company's management. The Purchaser understands that such discussions, as well as any Disclosure Materials provided by the Company and/or the Placement Agent (at the Company's direction), were intended to describe the aspects of the Company's business and prospects and the Offering which the Company believes to be material, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement (as modified by the disclosures on the Disclosure Schedule or the SEC Reports (excluding any disclosures contained under the heading "Risk Factors," any disclosures of risks included in any "forward looking statements" or disclosures that are cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature)), the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to the completeness of such information and makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to any information provided by any entity other than the Company. Some of such information may include projections as to the future performance of the Company, which projections may not be realized, may be based on assumptions which may not be correct and may be subject to numerous factors beyond the Company's control. The Purchaser acknowledges that he, she or it is not relying upon any person or entity, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. In entering into this Agreement, the Purchaser has not relied on any oral or, except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents or the Disclosure Materials, written information provided by the Company, any Placement Agent, or by their respective Affiliates, agents, employees, representatives or trustees, or by any other agent or broker. No agent, employee or representative of the Company or any Placement Agent or other agent or broker has been authorized to make, and the Purchaser has not relied on, any statements other than those expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents or the Disclosure Materials. Without limiting or derogating from <u>Section 3(ff)</u>, the Purchaser understands and represents that he, she or it is purchasing the Shares notwithstanding the fact that the Company may disclose in the future certain information the Purchaser has not received, including (without limitation) financial statements of the Company for the current fiscal period, and any subsequent period financial statements that will be filed with the SEC, that he, she or it is not relying on any such information in connection with his, her or its purchase of the Shares. The Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Purchaser has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to his, her or its acquisition of the Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Purchaser acknowledges that neither the Company nor any Placement Agent is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Purchaser (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and no investment advice has been given by the Company, any Placement Agent or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Purchaser further represents to the Company that the Purchaser's decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Purchaser and the Purchaser's representatives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) As of the applicable Closing, all actions on the part of the Purchaser, and its officers, directors and partners, if applicable, necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and the performance of all obligations of the Purchaser hereunder and thereunder shall have been taken, and this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, assuming due execution by the parties hereto and thereto, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar Laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies and, with respect to any rights to indemnity or contribution contained in the Transaction Documents, as such rights may be limited by state or federal laws or public policy underlying such laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Purchaser represents that neither it nor, to its knowledge, any person or entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with it, nor any person having a beneficial interest in the Purchaser, nor any person on whose behalf the Purchaser is acting: (i) is a person listed in the Annex to Executive Order No. 13224 (2001) issued by the President of the United States (Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism); (ii) is named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons maintained by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control; (iii) is a non-U.S. shell bank or is providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank; (iv) is a senior non-U.S. political figure or an immediate family member or close associate of such figure; or (v) is otherwise prohibited from investing in the Company pursuant to applicable U.S. anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist and asset control Laws, regulations, rules or orders (categories (i) through (v), each a "**<u>Prohibited Purchaser</u>**"). The Purchaser (A) agrees to provide the Company, promptly upon request, all information that the Company reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable U.S. anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist and asset control Laws, regulations, rules and orders and (B) consents to the disclosure to U.S. regulators and law enforcement authorities by the Company and its Affiliates and agents of such information about the Purchaser as the Company reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable U.S. anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist and asset control Laws, regulations, rules and orders. If the Purchaser is a financial institution that is subject to the USA Patriot Act, the Purchaser represents that it has met all of its obligations under the USA Patriot Act. The Purchaser acknowledges that if, following its investment in the Company, the Company reasonably believes that the Purchaser is a Prohibited Purchaser or is otherwise engaged in suspicious activity or refuses to promptly provide information that the Company requests, the Company has the right or may be obligated to prohibit additional investments, segregate the assets constituting the investment in accordance with applicable regulations or immediately require the Purchaser to transfer all or any of the Shares. The Purchaser further acknowledges that neither the Purchaser nor any of the Purchaser's Affiliates or agents will have any claim against the Company for any form of damages as a result of any of the foregoing actions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) If the Purchaser is an Affiliate of a non-U.S. banking institution (a "**<u>Foreign Bank</u>**"), or if the Purchaser receives deposits from, makes payments on behalf of, or handles other financial transactions related to a Foreign Bank, the Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that: (1) the Foreign Bank has a fixed address, other than solely an electronic address, in a country in which the Foreign Bank is authorized to conduct banking activities; (2) the Foreign Bank maintains operating records related to its banking activities; (3) the Foreign Bank is subject to inspection by the banking authority that licensed the Foreign Bank to conduct banking activities; and (4) the Foreign Bank does not provide banking services to any other Foreign Bank that does not have a physical presence in any country and that is not a regulated Affiliate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) The Purchaser or its duly authorized representative realizes that because of the inherently speculative nature of businesses of the kind conducted and contemplated by the Company, the Company's financial results may be expected to fluctuate from month to month and from period to period and will, generally, involve a high degree of financial and market risk that could result in substantial or, at times, even total losses for investors in securities of the Company. The Purchaser has considered the risk factors in the SEC Reports before deciding to invest in the Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) The Purchaser is not subscribing for Shares as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication, published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio, or the internet, or presented at any seminar or meeting, or any solicitation of a subscription by a person not previously known to the Purchaser in connection with investments in securities generally.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) The Purchaser acknowledges that no U.S. federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon any of the Securities or made any finding or determination as to the fairness, suitability or wisdom of any investments therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any individual or entity acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales (as defined below), of the securities of the Company during the period commencing at the time the Purchaser was first contacted by the Company or any other individual or entity representing the Company (including the Placement Agent) regarding the transactions contemplated hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of the Purchaser being a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Purchaser's assets and the portfolio managers do not communicate or share information with, and have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by, the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Purchaser's assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Agreement. Other than to other individuals or entities party to this Agreement, or to the Purchaser's representatives, agents or advisors, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future. For purposes of this Agreement, "**<u>Short Sales</u>**" means all "short sales" as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act (but shall not be deemed to include the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) The Purchaser is aware that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of any of the Shares and other activities with respect to the Shares by the Purchaser, and will comply with such anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p) All of the information concerning the Purchaser set forth herein, and any other information furnished by the Purchaser in writing to the Company or the Placement Agent for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, is true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement, and, if there should be any material change in such information prior to the Purchaser's purchase of the Shares, the Purchaser will promptly furnish revised or corrected information to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q) The Purchaser has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. With respect to such matters, the Purchaser relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral. The Purchaser understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(r) If the Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), the Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the observance in all material respects of the Laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (a) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Shares; (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase; (c) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of any of the Shares. The Purchaser's subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other Laws of the Purchaser's jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(s) The Purchaser represents that it is not a "foreign person" for purposes of Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950 (as amended) or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (including 31 C.F.R. Part 800 and 31 C.F.R. part 801); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if the Purchaser is a "foreign person" for such purposes, it agrees that it will not (i) obtain any control rights over the Company, including the ability to determine, direct, or decide important matters affecting the Company; (ii) have access to any material nonpublic technical information in the possession of the company; (iii) obtain membership or observer rights on the Board of Directors or the right to nominate an individual to a position on the Board of Directors; or (iv) have any involvement, other than through voting of shares, in substantive decision making of the Company regarding the use, development, acquisition or release of the Company's technology.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(t) **(For ERISA plans only)** The fiduciary of the ERISA plan (the "**<u>Plan</u>**") represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Company's investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest "plan assets" (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The Purchaser fiduciary or Plan (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (b) is independent of the Company or any of its Affiliates; (c) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision, the Purchaser fiduciary or Plan has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(u) If the Purchaser is a Covered Person, neither the Purchaser nor, to the Purchaser's knowledge, any of its directors, executive officers, other officers that may act as a director or officer of any company in which it invests, general partners or managing members is subject to any Disqualification Events, except for Disqualification Events covered by Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) under the Securities Act, and disclosed reasonably in advance of the applicable Closing in writing in reasonable detail to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) The Purchaser understands that there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Shares and that the certificates or book-entry positions representing the foregoing shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such certificates or other instruments):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS [CERTIFICATE] [BOOK-ENTRY POSITION] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER (THE "**<u>SECURITIES ACT</u>**"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND NEITHER SUCH SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION EXISTS AND THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (3) SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

In addition, if the Purchaser is an Affiliate of the Company, certificates or book-entry positions evidencing the Shares issued to the Purchaser may bear a customary "Affiliates" legend.

Any fees (with respect to the Company's Transfer Agent for the Common Stock, counsel or otherwise) associated with the removal of such legend(s) shall be borne by the Company.

Upon request from Purchaser and subject to receipt by the Company and the Transfer Agent from the Purchaser of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith, the Company shall be obligated to promptly reissue unlegended certificates or book-entry positions at such time as the Securities evidenced by such certificates or book-entry positions (x) are sold pursuant to Rule 144 or another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act has been satisfied, provided that Rule 144 or such other applicable exemption is available and, if the Transfer Agent requires an opinion, the Company shall cause its legal counsel to deliver an opinion in a form reasonably acceptable to the transfer agent, to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act or (y) are sold pursuant to an effective resale registration statement under the Securities Act, provided that if the Transfer Agent requires an opinion, the Company shall cause its legal counsel to deliver an opinion in a form reasonably acceptable to the transfer agent, to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, or (z) are covered by an effective resale registration statement under the Securities Act and are Legend Removal Shares (as defined in the next sentence). If a resale registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Shares becomes effective, then the Company shall cause legal counsel to the Company, at the Company's expense: (a) to issue to the Transfer Agent, within one (1) Trading Day after the effective date thereof, a "blanket" legal opinion in customary form to the effect that the Securities covered by a registration statement have been registered for resale under the Securities Act and, if such counsel has received a signed certificate in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Registration Rights Agreement (a "**<u>Legend Removal Certificate</u>**") from the holder of such Securities, may then be reissued without any legend or restriction relating to their status as "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 ("**<u>Legend Removal Shares</u>**"), or, otherwise, may then be reissued without any legend or restriction relating to their status as "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 upon resale pursuant to such registration statement; and (b) promptly to amend such opinion to cause such Securities to be Legend Removal Shares after later receipt of a Legend Removal Certificate from the holder. Under the foregoing circumstances, the Company shall direct its Transfer Agent to issue unlegended shares, in the case of clause (x) above, within one (1) Trading Day after the Transfer Agent's receipt of such opinion or, in the case of clause (y) above, within three (3) Trading Days after the Transfer Agent's receipt of such legal opinion with respect to Legend Removal Shares or otherwise within three (3) Trading Days after the Transfer Agent's receipt of evidence in customary form that the Securities have been sold pursuant to an effective resale registration statement under the Securities Act, in either case via DWAC or as otherwise requested by the holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(w) If the Purchaser is an individual, then the Purchaser resides in the state or province identified in the address of the Purchaser set forth on such Purchaser's Omnibus Signature Page to this Agreement; if the Purchaser is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, then the office or offices of the Purchaser in which its principal place of business is identified in the address or addresses of the Purchaser set forth on such Purchaser's Omnibus Signature Page to this Agreement.

To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable Law. The liability of the Company under this paragraph shall not exceed the total Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser hereunder, except in the case of fraud.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company shall have the right to control the investigation and defense of any Action for which a Purchaser Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification hereunder with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Purchaser Indemnitee, at the sole cost and expense of the Company, upon written notice to the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee; <u>provided</u>, that (i) such notice contains confirmation that the Company has agreed to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitee (subject to the limitations on indemnification set forth herein) for the Indemnified Liabilities arising out of, relating to or resulting from such Action and (ii) the Company shall not be entitled to assume or control the investigation and defense, if (A) such claim seeks non-monetary, equitable or injunctive relief or alleges any violation of criminal Law or (B) the Company is also a party and the Purchaser Indemnitee determines in good faith after consultation with counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Purchaser Indemnitee that are different or additional to those available to the Company. If the Company assumes the investigation and defense of such Action in accordance herewith, the Purchaser Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the investigation and defense of such Action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser Indemnitee, the Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries or its or their respective Related Parties to, negotiate, consent to or enter into any settlement, or consent to the entry of any judgment, with respect to any Action for which such Purchaser Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Purchaser Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such proceeding, (ii) does not require any admission of wrongdoing by any Purchaser Indemnitee, and (iii) does not obligate or require any Purchaser Indemnitee to take, or refrain from taking, any action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Purchaser acknowledges on behalf of itself and each Purchaser Indemnitee that, other than (i) for Actions seeking specific performance of the obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) in the case of a breach or violation of this Agreement by the Company which has resulted from either (A) intentional fraud or (B) a deliberate act or failure to act with actual knowledge that the act or failure to act constituted or would result in a breach or violation, in each case, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser and the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions (including the limitations thereof) set forth in this <u>Section 7</u>.

The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement shall survive the death or disability of the Purchaser and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

Any amendment, modification or waiver effected in accordance with this <u>Section 9(b)</u> shall be binding upon the Purchaser and each transferee of any of the Securities, each future holder of all such Securities, and the Company, its successors and assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Use of Pronouns</u>**.** All pronouns and any variations thereof used herein shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural as the identity of the person or persons referred to may require.

In addition, the Purchaser acknowledges that it is aware that United States securities laws may restrict persons who have material, non-public information about a company from purchasing or selling any securities of such company while in possession of such information. The provisions of this <u>Section 9 (j)</u> are in addition to and not in replacement of any other confidentiality agreement, if any, between the Company and the Purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) <u>Entire Agreement</u>. This Agreement, together with the Registration Rights Agreement and each other Transaction Document, and all exhibits, schedules and attachments hereto and thereto, including the Disclosure Schedule and any confidentiality agreement between the Purchaser and the Company, constitute the entire agreement between the Purchaser and the Company with respect to the Offering and supersede all prior oral or written agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) <u>Share Certificates</u>. The Shares issued at any Closing may be certificated or represented by book-entry positions on the books of the Transfer Agent. If the Shares are subsequently certificated and any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares 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 its Transfer Agent for any losses in connection therewith and/or, if required by such 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 certificate or instrument. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) <u>Expenses</u>. Except as explicitly provided otherwise in this Agreement, all parties shall bear their own fees and expenses in connection with the Offering and any due diligence activities relating thereto.

All other fees and expenses relating to the Offering, including but not limited to the Placement Agent's cash fee and expense allowance and any expenses of the Company will be payable at each closing of the Offering from the proceeds thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) <u>Counterparts</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(t) <u>Survival</u>. The parties, agree that, if the Closing occurs, (i) the Company Fundamental Representations shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years from the Initial Closing Date and (ii) the other representations and warranties of the Company and the representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year from the Initial Closing Date and in each case, shall in no way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Purchaser or the Company. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement (including the covenants and agreements set forth in <u>Section 7</u> hereof) shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Securities included in the Shares in accordance with their terms or, if no term is specified, such covenants and agreements shall survive indefinitely. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Purchaser have any liability to the Company or to any other person in connection with the Offering other than pursuant to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(u) <u>Omnibus Signature Page</u>**.** This Agreement is intended to be read and construed in conjunction with the Registration Rights Agreement. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, it is hereby agreed that the execution by the Purchaser of this Agreement, in the place set forth on the Omnibus Signature Page below, shall constitute agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof and the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement, with the same effect as if each of such separate but related agreement were separately signed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) <u>Public Disclosure</u>**.** Neither the Purchaser nor any officer, manager, director, member, partner, stockholder, employee, Affiliate, Affiliated person or entity of the Purchaser shall make or issue any press releases or otherwise make any public statements or make any disclosures to any third person or entity with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and will not make or issue any press releases or otherwise make any public statements of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Company without the Company's express prior approval (which may be withheld in the Company's sole discretion), except to the extent such disclosure is required by Law, request of the staff of the SEC or of any regulatory agency or principal trading market regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(w) <u>Potential Conflicts</u>**.** The Placement Agent, its sub-agents, legal counsel to the Company, the Placement Agent and/or their respective Affiliates, principals, representatives or employees may now or hereafter own shares of the Company. Purchaser specifically acknowledges that it (a) understands the risks of such potential or actual conflicts, (b) acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to ask for information relevant to these disclosures, and (c) gives its informed consent to the transactions and relationships described therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) <u>Independent Nature of the Purchaser's Obligations and Rights</u>. For avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any other agreements delivered in connection herewith are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Purchaser in connection with the Offering, and the Purchaser shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Purchaser in connection with the Offering. The decision of the Purchaser to purchase Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been made by the Purchaser independently of any Other Purchaser or any other investor 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 of its Subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any Other Purchaser or investor or by any agent or employee of any Other Purchaser or investor, and neither the Purchaser nor any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Other Purchaser or investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein and no action taken by the Purchaser shall be deemed to constitute the Purchaser as a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchaser is in any way acting in concert or as a group with any Other Purchaser in connection with the Offering with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any Other Subscription Agreement. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other party to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(y) <u>Waiver of Conflicts of Legal Counsel</u>**.** Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that CLG, counsel to the Company, may have in the past performed and may continue to or in the future perform legal services for certain of the Purchasers in matters unrelated to the transactions described in this Agreement, including financings and other matters. Accordingly, each party to this Agreement hereby (a) acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to ask for information relevant to this disclosure; (b) acknowledges that CLG represented the clients referred to above, respectively, in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and have not represented any individual Purchaser in connection with such transactions; and (c) gives its informed consent to CLG's representation of certain of the Purchasers in unrelated matters and to CLG's representation of the clients referred to above, respectively, in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(z) <u>Adjustments</u>. 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, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of Shares or the Per Share Purchase Price shall be deemed to be amended to appropriately account for such event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(aa) <u>Remedies</u>. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by them in accordance with the terms hereof and that each party hereto may be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at Law or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or rescission of purchases, sales and other transfers). The parties hereto agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by the Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the respective covenants and obligations of the Purchaser and the Company, as applicable, under this Agreement all in accordance with the terms of this <u>Section 9 (aa)</u>. Neither the Purchaser nor the Company, as applicable, shall be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, all in accordance with the terms of this <u>Section 9 (aa)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(bb) <u>Recourse</u>. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, and notwithstanding the fact that the Purchaser may be partnerships or limited liability companies, the Company hereto covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall be had against any the Purchaser's future, present or former Affiliates, or the Purchaser's or its Affiliates' respective future, present or former officers, directors, managers, employees, partners, equity holders, controlling persons, members, agents, attorneys, investment advisers, representatives, successors or permitted assigns (the "**<u>Purchaser Parties</u>**") (other than the Purchaser and its successors and Permitted Assignees under this Agreement), whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any of the Purchaser Parties, as such, for any obligation or liability of any party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or liabilities or their creation; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, nothing in this Section 9 (bb) shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of the Purchaser or any of its successors or Permitted Assignees, for any breach or violation of its obligations under such agreements, documents or instruments. The liability limitation provision in this <u>Section 9(bb)</u> shall survive termination of this Agreement. The Purchaser Parties are intended third party beneficiaries of the provisions of this <u>Section 9(bb)</u>, entitled to enforce such provisions as if directly party to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(cc) <u>Rules of Construction</u>**.** Unless the context otherwise requires, (i) all references to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits are to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits contained in or attached to this Agreement, (ii) each accounting term not otherwise defined in this Agreement has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with GAAP, (iii) words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, (iv) the use of the word "including" in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation, and (v) the word "or" shall not be exclusive.

**<u>EXHIBIT A</u>**

**Form of Registration Rights Agreement**

**<u>EXHIBIT B</u>**

**Risk Factors**

***There is currently no market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that any market will ever develop. You may therefore be unable to re-sell shares of our common stock at times and prices that you believe are appropriate.***

Our common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange or any other exchange, or quoted on an over-the-counter market. Therefore, there is no trading market, active or otherwise, for our common stock and our common stock may never be included for trading on any stock exchange, automated quotation system or any over-the-counter market. Accordingly, our common stock is highly illiquid and you will likely experience difficulty in re-selling such shares at times and prices that you may desire.

 ****

***Our common stock may not be eligible for listing or quotation on any securities exchange or over-the-counter trading system.***

We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of any national securities exchange, or, if we do meet such initial listing standards, that we will be able to maintain any such listing. Even if our common stock is quoted for sale on an over-the-counter quotation system, buyers may be insufficient in numbers to allow for a robust market and it may prove impossible to sell your shares. In addition, an investor may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In addition, if we fail to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.

 ****

***The market price and trading volume of our common stock may be volatile and could decline significantly.***

The quotation systems, including the OTC Markets QB tier and QX tier, or stock exchanges, including Nasdaq, on which our common stock may be quoted or on which our common stock may be listed in the future have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. Even if an active, liquid and orderly trading market develops and is sustained for our common stock, the market price of our common stock may be volatile and could decline significantly. In addition, the trading volume in our common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the market price of our common stock declines significantly, you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the market price of our common stock. We cannot assure you that the market price of common stock will not fluctuate widely or decline significantly in the future in response to a number of factors, including, among others, the following:

● the realization of any of the risk factors presented in the Company's SEC Reports or this Agreement;

● actual or anticipated differences in our estimates, or in the estimates of analysts, for our revenues, results of operations, level of indebtedness, liquidity or financial condition;

● additions and departures of key personnel;

● failure to comply with the requirements of the OTCQB market, or following our potential up listing on Nasdaq;

● failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or other laws or regulations;

● future issuances, sales, resales or repurchases or anticipated issuances, sales, resales or repurchases, of our common stock;

● publication of research reports about us, or our industry;

● the performance and market valuations of other similar companies;

● broad disruptions in the financial markets, including sudden disruptions in the credit markets;

● speculation in the press or investment community;

● actual, potential or perceived control, accounting or reporting problems; and

● changes in accounting principles, policies and guidelines.

In the past, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their shares. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

***The designation of our common stock as "penny stock" would limit the liquidity of our common stock.***

Our common stock may be deemed a "penny stock" (as that term is defined under Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act) in any market that may develop in the future. Generally, a "penny stock" is a common stock that is not listed on a securities exchange and trades for less than $5.00 a share. Prices often are not available to buyers and sellers and the market may be very limited. Penny stock in start-up companies is among the riskiest equity investments. Broker-dealers who sell penny stock must provide purchasers with a standardized risk-disclosure document prepared by the SEC. The document provides information about penny stock and the nature and level of risks involved in investing in the penny stock market. A broker must also provide purchasers with bid and offer quotations and information regarding broker and salesperson compensation and make a written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and obtain the purchaser's written agreement to the purchase. Many brokers choose not to participate in penny stock transactions. If our common stock is deemed "penny stock", because of penny stock rules, there may be less trading activity in any market that develops for our common stock in the future and stockholders are likely to have difficulty selling their shares.

 ****

***FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our common stock.***

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted rules requiring that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative or low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA has indicated its belief that there is a high probability that speculative or low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. If these FINRA requirements are applicable to us or our securities, they may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that at least some of their customers buy our common stock, which may limit the ability of our stockholders to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market for and price of our common stock.

***If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish unfavorable or inaccurate research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.***

Our stock price and trading volume following our quotation on the OTC Markets QB tier, if any, or following our potential listing on a securities exchange, if any, will be heavily influenced by the way analysts and investors interpret our financial information and other disclosures. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on our business. If few securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, our stock price could be negatively affected. If securities or industry analysts downgrade our common stock, or publish negative reports about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price to decline and could decrease the trading volume of our common stock.

***The offering price has been arbitrarily determined.***

The offering price of the common stock was determined through negotiations with the Placement Agent. The price of the common stock does not necessarily bear any relationship to established valuation criteria such as earnings, book value or assets. Rather, the price of the common stock was derived as a result of our negotiations with the Placement Agent based upon various factors including prevailing market conditions, our future prospects and our capital structure. This price does not necessarily accurately reflect the actual value of the common stock or the price that may be realized upon disposition of the common stock.

***The future issuance of equity or of debt securities that are convertible into equity may dilute your investment and reduce your equity interest.***

We may choose to raise additional capital in the future, depending on market conditions, strategic considerations and operational requirements. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the issuance of shares or other securities convertible into shares, our stockholders will be diluted. Future issuances of our common stock or other equity securities, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through future offerings of equity or equity-linked securities. For example, we have agreed, at our expense, to prepare a registration statement, and to cause us to file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of shares of our common stock. The resale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price for our common stock and make it more difficult for you to sell shares of our common stock at times and prices that you feel are appropriate. Furthermore, we expect that, because there will be a large number of shares registered pursuant to a registration statement, selling stockholders will continue to offer shares covered by such registration statement for a significant period of time, the precise duration of which cannot be predicted. Accordingly, the adverse market and price pressures resulting from an offering pursuant to a registration statement may continue for an extended period of time and continued negative pressure on the market price of our common stock could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise additional equity capital.

***Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, and you will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding their application.***

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include product development, capital expenditures, repayment of indebtedness, working capital, strategic initiatives, and other business opportunities. However, our management will have broad discretion in determining the specific uses of the net proceeds and may allocate them in ways that differ from our current expectations based on evolving business needs and market conditions.

Because of this broad discretion, investors will be relying on the judgment of our management with respect to the use of proceeds. The net proceeds may not be applied in a manner that increases the value of your investment, and our use of the proceeds may not result in improved operating results or profitability.

***If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, or if we identify material weaknesses in the future, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and the value of our securities.***

We have not yet fully developed or maintained an effective control environment that meets the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our limited resources, lack of sufficient personnel with appropriate expertise in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements, and evolving internal processes have contributed to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

If our remediation efforts are insufficient or if we identify additional material weaknesses in the future, our ability to record, process, and report financial information accurately and on a timely basis could be adversely affected. Any such failure could result in misstatements in our financial statements, delays in required filings, loss of investor confidence, potential delisting from a securities exchange, and a decline in the market price of our securities.

***An investment in our common stock is speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.***

An investment in our common stock is speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in the Company, including the risk of losing their entire investment.

***Investor funds will not accrue interest while in escrow prior to closing.***

All funds delivered in connection with subscriptions for common stock will be held in a non-interest bearing escrow account until the closing of the offering, if any. If on the termination date (as may be extended), the Escrow Agent has not received the written instructions from the Company, Palomino, and Placement Agent regarding the disbursement of the escrow funds, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly return the escrow funds to the purchasers without interest or offset and close the Escrow Account immediately thereafter. Investors in the common stock offered hereby may not have the use of such funds or receive interest thereon pending the completion of the offering.

 ****

***You should consult your independent tax advisor regarding any tax matters arising with respect to our common stock.***

All prospective purchasers of our common stock are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Securities in their particular situations.

 ****

***There may be conflicts between the best interests of prospective investors in this Offering and our shareholders, on the one hand, and the interests of our Placement Agent and its officers, associated persons and employees, on the other hand.***

Lucius Partners holds 4,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, which it purchased upon formation of the Company for a nominal price. Investors will be paying a substantially higher price for shares than was paid by Lucius Partners. As such, Lucius Partners could potentially realize substantial gains in its investment at prices per share that would represent sizable losses for investors in the Offering.

Matthew Eitner, the Chief Executive Officer of the Placement Agent, James Ahern, the Managing Partner of the Placement Agent, and Patrick Gallagher, a Managing Director of the Placement Agent, are managing members, members, and/or officers of Lucius Partners, and therefore are indirectly material stakeholders of the Company. Currently, Jeff Shealy, Richard Ogawa and Steve DenBaars (the "***Founders***") have the right to nominate two (2) directors to the board of directors of the Company, as reasonably acceptable to Lucius Partners, and Lucius Partners has the right to nominate one (1) director to the board of directors of the Company, as reasonably acceptable to the Founders. As of the date hereof, the Founders' nominees are Jeff Shealy and Richard Ogawa, and Lucius Partners' nominee is Steven DenBaars. Further, at such time as the Company is trading on any of the OTC Markets, Inc., the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, the NYSE or NYSE American, the board of directors of the Company shall consist of at least five (5) members, at least three (3) of whom shall be "independent" (as such term is defined by the OTC Markets or the national exchange on which the Company's securities are then traded), and will include two (2) directors nominated by the Founders, and reasonably acceptable to Lucius Partners, and two (2) directors nominated by Lucius Partners and reasonably acceptable to the Founders, and additional independent director(s) as agreed by the Founders and Lucius Partners.

Additionally, prior to the consummation of the merger between the Company and its predecessor entity Lucius Partners received fees from the Company for advisory and certain other services provided to the Company.

There may be conflicts between the best interests of prospective investors in this Offering and our shareholders, on the one hand, and the interests of our Placement Agent and its officers, associated persons and employees, on the other hand. Ownership of our capital stock by members of management of the Placement Agent, who are also affiliated with Lucius Partners, may create the appearance of, or create, conflicts of interest if and when such individuals are faced with decisions that could have varying implications for us and themselves.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Term</u>. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to each Holder on the earliest of: (i) the date that is five (5) years from the SEC Effective Date, (ii) the date on which no Registrable Securities are outstanding and (iii) the availability of Rule 144 for the holders to sell all of the Registrable Securities without volume limitations or other manner of sale restrictions within a 90-day period (the "**<u>Term</u>**"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, <u>Section 6</u>, <u>Section 8</u>, <u>Section 9</u> and <u>Section 10</u> shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Registration</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Registration on Form S-1</u>. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1, or any other form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the resale by the Holders of all of the Registrable Securities on a delayed or continuous basis (including in stock exchange transactions and underwritten offerings) (the "**<u>Initial Registration Statement</u>**"), and the Company shall (i) make the initial filing of the Initial Registration Statement with the Commission as soon as commercially reasonable after the Effective Date, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Initial Registration Statement to be declared effective no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the initial filing of the Initial Registration Statement, and (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective (including by filing a new Registration Statement if the Initial Registration Statement expires) for a period of five (5) years after the SEC Effective Date or for such shorter period ending on the first date on which (a) there no longer any outstanding Registrable Securities and (b) the availability of Rule 144 for the holders to sell all of the Registrable Securities without volume limitations or other manner of sale restrictions within a 90-day period (the "**<u>Effectiveness Period</u>**"). Any Registration Statement shall contain the "**Plan of Distribution**" section in substantially the form thereof attached as <u>Exhibit A</u> hereto. Upon the Company becoming eligible to register the Registrable Securities for resale by the Holders on Form S-3, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 in substitution of the Registration Statement as initially filed as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement (or post-effective amendment) on Form S-3 covering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission). The Company shall be entitled to suspend sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and the use of any related prospectus during a Blackout Period for the reasons and time periods set forth in the definition thereof.

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (A) within sixty (60) calendar days after the SEC Effective Date or (B) within thirty (30) Business Days after the first date that is permitted by the Commission, to register for resale as many of the Reduction Securities as the Commission will permit (pro rata among the Holders of such Reduction Securities) by filing one or more Registration Statements (any such Registration Statement, a "**<u>New Registration Statement</u>**") that it is then entitled to use, and to cause such registration statement(s) to become effective as soon as practicable, until the Commission permits all of the Reduction Securities to be so registered; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Company shall not be required to register such Reduction Securities during a Blackout Period. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act, as soon as possible, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective (including by filing an additional Registration Statement if the Initial Registration Statement expires), and under the Securities Act during the Effectiveness Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to suspend the effectiveness of any Registration Statement at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period for the reasons and time periods permitted during a Blackout Period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Commission limits the Company's ability to file, or prohibits or delays the filing of a new registration statement, the Company's compliance with such limitation, prohibition or delay solely to the extent of such limitation, prohibition or delay shall not be deemed a failure by the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts as set forth above or elsewhere in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Other Limitations</u>. Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in <u>Section 3(a)</u>, if the Staff informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single Registration Statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and file an amendment to the Registration Statement as required by the Staff, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Staff as a secondary offering; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall be obligated to use reasonably diligent efforts to advocate with the Staff for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable guidance of the Staff, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Staff limits the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used reasonably diligent efforts to advocate with the Staff for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), the Company shall remove from the Registration Statement such number of Registrable Securities as specified by the Commission on behalf of all of the holders of Registrable Securities from the Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis among the holders thereof (any such eliminated shares, the "**<u>Reduction Securities</u>**"). In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the Holder at least three (3) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder's allotment. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by the Staff or applicable guidance of the Staff provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more New Registration Statements on such other form available to register for resale the Reduction Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Piggyback Registrations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) With respect to any Registrable Securities not otherwise included in a Registration Statement pursuant to <u>Section 3(a)</u> as a result of any limitation imposed by the Staff, or otherwise (the "**<u>Excluded Registrable Securities</u>**"), whenever the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for other shareholders) any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to (i) a Registration Statement pursuant to <u>Section 3(a)</u> hereof or (ii) registration pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor forms thereto), and the form of registration statement to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities, the Company will give written notice to each holder of Excluded Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration and will, subject to the provisions of <u>Subsection 3(c)(ii)</u> hereof, and to the extent permitted by the Staff, include in such registration statement all Excluded Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the Company's notice (a "**<u>Piggyback Registration</u>**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company's securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company will include in such registration a pro rata share of Excluded Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement as calculated by dividing the number of Excluded Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by the number of the Company's securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by all selling security holders. In such event, the holder of Excluded Registrable Securities shall continue to have registration rights under this Agreement with respect to any Excluded Registrable Securities not so included in, and sold pursuant to, such Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time after giving a notice of Piggyback Registration and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each record holder of Excluded Registrable Securities and, following such notice, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Excluded Registrable Securities in connection with such registration, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Excluded Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Registration Procedures</u>. The Company will keep each Holder reasonably advised as to the filing and effectiveness of any Registration Statement. At its expense with respect to any Registration Statement, the Company will:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) subject to compliance with <u>Section 5(b)</u>, prepare and file with the Commission with respect to the Registrable Securities, any Registration Statement in accordance with <u>Section 3(a)</u> hereof, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain effective (with the Prospectus included therein available for the resale of the Registrable Securities) as described in <u>Section 3(a)</u> and file the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act within one (1) Trading Day following the date the Registration Statement is declared effective;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) not name any Holder in any Registration Statement as an underwriter without that Holder's prior written consent; <u>provided however</u>, that only notice to the Holder shall be required if such disclosure is required by the Commission;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of any event, notify each Holder of Registrable Securities at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event that will, after the occurrence of such event, cause the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, if not amended or supplemented, to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and the Company shall promptly thereafter prepare and furnish to such Holder a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus (or, if a Registration Statement is on Form S-3, prepare and file appropriate reports under the Exchange Act) so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except in the event of a Blackout Period, in which case no supplement or amendment need be furnished (or Exchange Act filing made) until the termination of such Blackout Period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) comply, and continue to comply during the Effectiveness Period, in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify each Holder of Registrable Securities being offered or sold pursuant to any Registration Statement of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all other approvals, consents, exemptions or authorizations from such governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the Holders and underwriters to consummate the disposition of Registrable Securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) enter into customary agreements (including any underwriting agreements in customary form, including any representations and warranties and lock-up provisions therein), and take such other actions as may be reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Piggyback Registration;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(bb) take all other commercially reasonable actions necessary to enable, expedite or facilitate the Holders to dispose of the Registrable Securities by means of any Registration Statement contemplated hereby during the Term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Obligations of the Holders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) At any time, and from time to time, after the SEC Effective Date, the Company may notify one or more of the Holders (in each case, the "**<u>Specified Holders</u>**") in writing (each, a "**<u>Suspension Notice</u>**") of the happening of: (i) any event of the kind described in <u>Section 4(h)</u> or <u>(j)</u>; (ii) any Blackout Period; or (iii) only with respect to a Holder who is an "insider" covered by such program, any suspension by the Company, pursuant to a written insider trading policy adopted by the Company's Board of Directors, of the ability of all "insiders" covered by such program to transact in the Company's securities because of the existence of material non-public information (each, a "**<u>Suspension Event</u>**"). Upon receipt of any Suspension Notice, each Specified Holder shall as promptly as practicable discontinue disposition of such Holder's Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement until such Specified Holder receives the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by <u>Section 4(h)</u>, such Blackout Period shall have terminated or the restriction on the ability of "insiders" to transact in the Company's securities is removed, as applicable. The foregoing right to suspend may be exercised by the Company for no longer than forty-five (45) Trading Days in any consecutive twelve (12)-month period, except, in the case of Holders that are subject to such policy by its terms, with respect to suspensions under the written insider trading policy adopted by the Company's Board of Directors, (and for the avoidance of doubt, if the delay or suspension relates to a Blackout Period, the period of delay or suspension shall also count against the maximum number of days for Blackout Periods in the definition of such term). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of a Holder in accordance with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which a Holder has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Holder's receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of a Blackout Period or other Suspension Event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Holders of the Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to <u>Section 3(a)</u> of this Agreement and in connection with the Company's obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws, including a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as <u>Annex A</u> (a "**<u>Selling Securityholder Questionnaire</u>**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Holder, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Holder has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Registration Expenses</u>. The Company shall pay all expenses arising from or incident to the performance of, or compliance with, this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) the Commission, stock exchange, OTC Markets Group, FINRA and other registration and filing fees, (ii) rating agencies fees to the extent necessary to provide for blue sky qualification as required by <u>Section 4(g)</u> herein, (iii) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with complying with any securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities), (iv) all printing (including financial printer), messenger and delivery expenses, (v) the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Company and of its independent registered public accounting firm and any other accounting and legal fees, charges and expenses incurred by the Company (including any expenses arising from any special audits or "comfort letters" required in connection with or incident to any registration), (vi) the fees, charges and disbursements of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with any registration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (vii) all internal expenses of the Company (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), (viii) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange, (ix) Securities Act liability insurance (if the Company elects to obtain such insurance), regardless of whether a Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration is declared effective, and (x) reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel to the Holders selected by at least a majority of the Registrable Securities, in an amount not to exceed $35,000 in the aggregate per Registration Statement or Piggyback Registration; <u>provided</u>, that, in any underwritten registration, the Company shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting discounts, selling commissions or transfer taxes attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by the Holders thereof, which underwriting discounts, selling commissions and transfer taxes shall be borne by such Holders. Except as provided in this <u>Section 6</u> and <u>Section 8</u> of this Agreement, the Company shall not be responsible for the expenses of any attorney or other advisor employed by a Holder or for any other fees, disbursements and expenses incurred by Holders not specifically agreed to in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Assignment of Rights</u>. The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by each Purchaser to any transferee or assignee of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities (which Registrable Securities continue to constitute Restricted Common Stock following such transfer or assignment) as long as (i) such transfer or assignment is not a sale or transfer pursuant to a Registration Statement and is effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (ii) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to become bound by and subject to the terms of this Agreement; and (iii) such Holder notifies the Company in writing of such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred or assigned. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Majority Holders (other than by merger or consolidation or to a corporation which acquires the Company including by way of acquiring all or substantially all of the Company's assets, if immediately after (and as a result of) such merger, consolidation, reorganization or sale, the Holders own equity securities of such other corporation, which shall not require such consent).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Indemnification</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder, its affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, members, managers, partners, investment advisers, employees and agents, and each other person, if any, who controls or is under common control with such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the "**<u>Holder Indemnified Parties</u>**"), against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) (collectively, "**<u>Losses</u>**") that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement prepared and filed by the Company under which Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus as defined under Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act ("**<u>Free Writing Prospectus</u>**"), any "testing-the-water" communication that is a written communication within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act ("**<u>Testing the Water Communication</u>**"), any road show communication as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act ("**<u>Road Show Communication</u>**"), final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances in which the statements were made), and the Company shall reimburse the Holder Indemnified Parties for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon (x) an untrue statement in or omission from such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, Testing the Water Communication, Road Show Communication, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information included in the Selling Securityholder Questionnaire, attached hereto as <u>Annex A</u>, furnished by a Holder or its representative (acting on such Holder's behalf) to the Company expressly for use in the preparation thereof or (y) the failure of a Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in <u>Section 5</u> hereof respecting the sale of Registrable Securities. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder Indemnified Parties and shall survive the transfer of such shares by the Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) As a condition to including Registrable Securities in the registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to be bound by the terms of this <u>Section 8</u> and to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, each of its directors, officers, partners, and each underwriter, if any, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any Losses, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, Testing the Water Communication, Road Show Communication, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is included or omitted in reliance upon and in conformity with written information included in the Selling Securityholder Questionnaire, attached hereto as <u>Annex A</u>, furnished by the Holder or its representative (acting on such Holder's behalf) to the Company expressly for use in the preparation thereof, and such Holder shall reimburse the Company, and its directors, officers, partners, and any such controlling persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending, or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, or proceeding; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the indemnity obligation contained in this <u>Section 8(b)</u> shall in no event exceed the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder as a result of the sale of such Holder's Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person and shall survive the transfer by any Holder of such shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in this <u>Section 8</u> (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this <u>Section 8</u>, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced in defending such claim by such failure to give notice in any material respect. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such indemnified party a conflict of interest between such indemnified party and indemnifying parties may exist or the indemnified party may have defenses not available to the indemnifying party in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim or the indemnified party may have defenses not available to the indemnifying party in respect of such claim after the assumption of the defenses thereof or the indemnifying party fails to defend such claim in a diligent manner. Neither an indemnified party nor an indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action or proceeding effected without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation or which includes any admission as to fault, culpability or failure to act on the part of such indemnified party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and without limiting any of the rights set forth above, in any event any party shall have the right to retain, at its own expense, counsel with respect to the defense of a claim. Each indemnified party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an indemnifying party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If an indemnifying party does not or is not permitted to assume the defense of an action pursuant to <u>Section 8(c)</u> or in the case of the expense reimbursement obligation set forth in <u>Sections 8(a)</u> and <u>8(b)</u>, the indemnification required by <u>Sections 8(a)</u> and <u>8(b)</u> shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Losses are incurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If the indemnification provided for in <u>Sections 8(a)</u> and <u>8(b)</u> is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other (determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission), or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated, then in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, but also the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this <u>Section 8(e)</u>, no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission. No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this <u>Section 8</u> are in addition to any liability that the indemnifying parties may have to the indemnified parties and are not in diminution or limitation of the indemnification provisions under the applicable Subscription Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. (a) <u>Rule 144</u>. The Company hereby represents and warrants to each of the Holders that the Common Stock is, and as of the Effective Date will be, registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

None of the SEC Documents, when filed, furnished or submitted, shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Without limiting the foregoing and with a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144, the Company hereby agrees to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) so long as any of the Holders holds any Registrable Securities, promptly upon such Holder's request at any time on or after October 6, 2026, furnish to such Holder (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act as required for applicable provisions of Rule 144, (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit such Holder to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Stock Exchange Listing</u>. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Common Stock to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and listed on a National Securities Exchange as soon as practicable after the Company meets all of the applicable listing criteria for any National Securities Exchange and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Common Stock to all times thereafter remain registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and listed on a National Securities Exchange, including by ongoing compliance with all applicable listing requirements of the National Securities Exchange. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to meet the listing criteria for at least one National Securities Exchange as soon as reasonably possible after the Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, all expenses in connection with the matters contemplated by this <u>Section 9(b)</u> shall be borne by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Miscellaneous</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Governing Law</u>. This Agreement and any matter related hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the federal securities laws of the United States of America (as applicable) and the laws of the State of New York, both substantive and remedial, without regard to New York conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any judicial proceeding brought against any of the parties to this Agreement or any dispute arising out of this Agreement or any matter related hereto shall be brought in the state or federal courts of the State of New York, New York County, and, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party to this Agreement accepts the jurisdiction of such courts. The foregoing consent to jurisdiction shall not be deemed to confer rights on any person other than the parties to this Agreement. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF SUCH PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Remedies</u>. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement, without the necessity of posting bond or other security. Each of the Company and the Holders agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Successors and Assigns</u>. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, permitted assigns, executors and administrators of the parties hereto.

The Company has not entered, as of the date hereof, and shall not enter, on or after the date of this Agreement, into any agreement with respect to its securities that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, and except for those certain Registration Rights Agreements entered into between the Company and the person/entities parties thereto, dated September 29, 2025 and the certain Registration Rights Agreement entered into between the Company and the Placement Agent, dated as of the date hereof (collectively, the "**PIPE Registration Rights Agreements**") the Company shall not enter into any agreement that would require the inclusion, and shall not include, any securities other than the Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement required to be filed hereunder without the prior written consent of the Majority Holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Entire Agreement</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Delays or Omissions</u>. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Holder, upon any breach or default of the Company under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such Holder nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach or default thereunder occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Holder of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any Holder of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement, or by law, in equity or otherwise afforded to any holder, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and with respect to any Purchaser, by execution of an Omnibus Signature Page to this Agreement and the applicable Subscription Agreement, each of which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail, which contains a copy of an executed signature page such as a portable document format (.pdf) 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 or e-mail of an executed signature page such as a .pdf signature page were an original thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Severability</u>. In the case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be replaced with a valid, legal and enforceable provision that as closely as possible reflects the parties' intent with respect thereto, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) <u>Amendments</u>. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended at any time and from time to time, and particular provisions of this Agreement may be waived, with and only with an agreement or consent in writing signed by the Company and the Majority Holders; provided that this Agreement may not be amended and the observance of any term hereof may not be waived with respect to any Holder without the written consent of such Holder if such amendment or waiver adversely affects the rights of such Holder under this Agreement in a manner that is different than the other Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of one or more Holder and that does not adversely directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holder may be given by Holders holding all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) <u>Independent Nature of Holders' Obligations and Rights</u>. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters and the Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions. Except as expressly provided herein, each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained herein was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Holder. Except as expressly provided herein, it is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder, solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) <u>Subsequent Registration Rights</u>. Except for the PIPE Registration Rights Agreements, until all of the Registrable Securities have been registered for resale under an effective Registration Statement and the Common Stock is quoted on an Approved OTC Market, the Company shall not enter into any agreement granting registration rights more favorable than the registration rights set forth in this Agreement without the written consent of the Majority Holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) <u>Rules of Construction</u>. Unless the context otherwise requires, (i) all references to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits are to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits contained in or attached to this Agreement, (ii) each accounting term not otherwise defined in this Agreement has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with GAAP, (iii) words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, (iv) the use of the word "including" in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation, and (v) the word "or" shall not be exclusive.

This Registration Rights Agreement is hereby executed as of the date first above written.

**<u>Exhibit A</u>**

**<u>Form of Plan of Distribution</u>**

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION**

The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. At and after such time, the selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of their shares through public or private transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

● purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;

● ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

● block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

● an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

● through trading plans entered into by a selling stockholder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;

● short sales;

● distribution to employees, members, limited partners or stockholders of the selling stockholders;

● through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

● by pledge to secured debts and other obligations;

● delayed delivery arrangements;

● to or through underwriters or agents;

● in "at the market" offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents;

● in privately negotiated transactions;

● in options transactions; and

● through a combination of any of the above methods of sale, as described below, or any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

There can be no assurance that the selling stockholders will sell all or any of the securities offered by this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, or in other transactions exempt from registration, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of securities if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this sale of common stock by the selling stockholders.

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the common stock or interests therein may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder in the Offering has informed us that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. If a selling stockholder is deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement that includes this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

Agents, broker-dealers and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us and the selling stockholders against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which the agents, broker-dealers or underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep this registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective for five years from the date it is declared effective by the SEC or until the date on which all of the shares of common stock required to be registered by us have been sold or otherwise transferred other than to assignees pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. See the section of this prospectus captioned "*Shares Eligible for Future Sale — Registration Rights*."

Certain of our stockholders have entered into lock-up agreements. See the section of this prospectus captioned "*Shares Eligible for Future Sale — Lock-Up Agreements*."

**4. Beneficial Ownership of Securities of the Company Owned by the Selling Securityholder:**

*Except as set forth below in this Item 4, the undersigned is not the beneficial or registered owner of any securities of the Company.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Please
 list the type (common stock, warrants, etc.) and amount of all securities of the Company (including any Registrable Securities) beneficially
 owned<sup>1</sup> by the Selling Securityholder:

**5. Relationships with the Company:**

*Except as set forth below, neither you nor (if you are a natural person) any member of your immediate family, nor (if you are not a natural person) any of your affiliates<sup>2</sup>, officers, directors or principal equity holders (owners of 5% of more of the equity securities of the undersigned) has held any position or office or has had any other material relationship with the Company (or its predecessors or affiliates) during the past three years.*

State any exceptions here:

***<sup>1</sup>*** ***Beneficially Owned*:** A "beneficial owner" of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares (i) ***voting power***, including the power to direct the voting of such security, *or* (ii) ***investment power***, including the power to dispose of, or direct the disposition of, such security. In addition, a person is deemed to have "beneficial ownership" of a security of which such person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time within sixty (60) days, including, but not limited to, any right to acquire such security: (i) through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (ii) through the conversion of any security or (iii) pursuant to the power to revoke, or the automatic termination of, a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement.

It is possible that a security may have more than one "beneficial owner," such as a trust, with two co-trustees sharing voting power, and the settlor or another third party having investment power, in which case each of the three would be the "beneficial owner" of the securities in the trust. The power to vote or direct the voting, or to invest or dispose of, or direct the investment or disposition of, a security may be indirect and arise from legal, economic, contractual or other rights, and the determination of beneficial ownership depends upon who ultimately possesses or shares the power to direct the voting or the disposition of the security.

The final determination of the existence of beneficial ownership depends upon the facts of each case. You may, if you believe the facts warrant it, disclaim beneficial ownership of securities that might otherwise be considered "beneficially owned" by you.

<sup>2</sup> ***Affiliate*:** An "affiliate" is a company or person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls you, or is controlled by you, or is under common control with you.

The undersigned agrees to promptly notify the Company of any material inaccuracies or changes in the information provided herein that may occur subsequent to the date hereof at any time while the Registration Statement remains effective; provided, that the undersigned shall not be required to notify the Company of any changes to the number of securities held or owned by the undersigned or its affiliates.

By signing below, the undersigned consents to the disclosure of the information contained herein in its answers to Items 1 through 5 and the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto. The undersigned understands that such information will be relied upon by the Company in connection with the preparation or amendment of the Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned, by authority duly given, has caused this Selling Securityholder Notice and Questionnaire to be executed and delivered either in person or by its duly authorized agent.

The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3, or any other form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the resale by the Holders of all of the Registrable Securities on a delayed or continuous basis (including in stock exchange transactions and underwritten offerings) (the "**<u>Initial Registration Statement</u>**"), and the Company shall (i) make the initial filing of the Initial Registration Statement with the Commission as soon as commercially reasonable after becoming eligible to register the Registrable Securities for resale by the Holders on Form S-3, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Initial Registration Statement to be declared effective no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the initial filing of the Initial Registration Statement, and (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective (including by filing a new Registration Statement if the Initial Registration Statement expires) for a period of five (5) years after the SEC Effective Date or for such shorter period ending on the first date on which (a) there are no longer any outstanding Registrable Securities and (b) the availability of Rule 144 for the holders to sell all of the Registrable Securities without volume limitations or other manner of sale restrictions within a 90-day period (the "**<u>Effectiveness Period</u>**"). Any Registration Statement shall contain the "Plan of Distribution" section in substantially the form thereof attached as <u>Exhibit A</u> hereto. The Company shall be entitled to suspend sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and the use of any related prospectus during a Blackout Period for the reasons and time periods set forth in the definition thereof.

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (A) within sixty (60) calendar days after the SEC Effective Date or (B) within thirty (30) Business Days after the first date that is permitted by the Commission, to register for resale as many of the Reduction Securities as the Commission will permit (pro rata among the Holders of such Reduction Securities) by filing one or more Registration Statements that it is then entitled to use, and to cause such registration statement(s) to become effective as soon as practicable, until the Commission permits all of the Reduction Securities have been so registered; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Company shall not be required to register such Reduction Securities during a Blackout Period. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act, as soon as possible, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective (including by filing an additional Registration Statement if the Initial Registration Statement expires), and under the Securities Act during the Effectiveness Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to suspend the effectiveness of any Registration Statement at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period for the reasons and time periods permitted during a Blackout Period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Commission limits the Company's ability to file, or prohibits or delays the filing of a new registration statement, the Company's compliance with such limitation, prohibition or delay solely to the extent of such limitation, prohibition or delay shall not be deemed a failure by the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts as set forth above or elsewhere in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Other Limitations</u>. Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in <u>Section 3(a)</u>, if the Staff informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single Registration Statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and file an amendment to the Registration Statement as required by the Staff, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Staff as a secondary offering; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall be obligated to use reasonably diligent efforts to advocate with the Staff for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable guidance of the Staff, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Staff limits the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used reasonably diligent efforts to advocate with the Staff for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), the Company shall remove from the Registration Statement such number of Registrable Securities as specified by the Commission on behalf of all of the holders of Registrable Securities from the Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis among the holders thereof (any such eliminated shares, the "**<u>Reduction Securities</u>**"). In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the Holder at least three (3) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder's allotment. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by the Staff or applicable guidance of the Staff provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more New Registration Statements on such other form available to register for resale the Reduction Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Piggyback Registrations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) With respect to any Registrable Securities not otherwise included in a Registration Statement pursuant to <u>Section 3(a)</u> as a result of any limitation imposed by the Staff, or otherwise (the "**<u>Excluded Registrable Securities</u>**"), whenever the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for other shareholders) any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to (i) a Registration Statement pursuant to <u>Section 3(a)</u> hereof or (ii) registration pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor forms thereto), and the form of registration statement to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities, the Company will give written notice to each holder of Excluded Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration and will, subject to the provisions of <u>Subsection 3(c)(ii)</u> hereof, and to the extent permitted by the Staff, include in such registration statement all Excluded Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the Company's notice (a "**<u>Piggyback Registration</u>**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company's securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company will include in such registration a pro rata share of Excluded Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement as calculated by dividing the number of Excluded Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by the number of the Company's securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by all selling security holders. In such event, the holder of Excluded Registrable Securities shall continue to have registration rights under this Agreement with respect to any Excluded Registrable Securities not so included in, and sold pursuant to, such Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time after giving a notice of Piggyback Registration and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each record holder of Excluded Registrable Securities and, following such notice, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Excluded Registrable Securities in connection with such registration, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Excluded Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) At any time, and from time to time, after the SEC Effective Date, the Company may notify one or more of the Holders (in each case, the "**<u>Specified Holders</u>**") in writing (each, a "**<u>Suspension Notice</u>**") of the happening of: (i) any event of the kind described in <u>Section 4(h)</u> or <u>(j)</u>; (ii) any Blackout Period; or (iii) only with respect to a Holder who is an "insider" covered by such program, any suspension by the Company, pursuant to a written insider trading policy adopted by the Company's Board of Directors, of the ability of all "insiders" covered by such program to transact in the Company's securities because of the existence of material non-public information (each, a "**<u>Suspension Event</u>**"). Upon receipt of any Suspension Notice, each Specified Holder shall as promptly as practicable discontinue disposition of such Holder's Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement until such Specified Holder receives the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by <u>Section 4(h)</u>, such Blackout Period shall have terminated or the restriction on the ability of "insiders" to transact in the Company's securities is removed, as applicable. The foregoing right to suspend may be exercised by the Company for no longer than forty-five (45) Trading Days in any consecutive twelve (12)-month period, except, in the case of Holders that are subject to such policy by its terms, with respect to suspensions under the written insider trading policy adopted by the Company's Board of Directors, (and for the avoidance of doubt, if the delay or suspension relates to a Blackout Period, the period of delay or suspension shall also count against the maximum number of days for Blackout Periods in the definition of such term). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of a Holder in accordance with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which a Holder has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Holder's receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of a Blackout Period or other Suspension Event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Holders of the Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to <u>Section 3(a)</u> of this Agreement and in connection with the Company's obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws, including a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as <u>Annex A</u> (a "**<u>Selling Securityholder Questionnaire</u>**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Holder, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Holder has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Registration Expenses</u>. The Company shall pay all expenses arising from or incident to the performance of, or compliance with, this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) the Commission, stock exchange, OTC Markets Group, FINRA and other registration and filing fees, (ii) rating agencies fees to the extent necessary to provide for blue sky qualification as required by <u>Section 4(g)</u> herein, (iii) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with complying with any securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities), (iv) all printing (including financial printer), messenger and delivery expenses, (v) the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Company and of its independent registered public accounting firm and any other accounting and legal fees, charges and expenses incurred by the Company (including any expenses arising from any special audits or "comfort letters" required in connection with or incident to any registration), (vi) the fees, charges and disbursements of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with any registration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (vii) all internal expenses of the Company (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), (viii) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange, (ix) Securities Act liability insurance (if the Company elects to obtain such insurance), regardless of whether a Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration is declared effective, and (x) reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel to the Holders selected by at least a majority of the Registrable Securities, in an amount not to exceed $35,000 in the aggregate per Registration Statement or Piggyback Registration; <u>provided</u>, that, in any underwritten registration, the Company shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting discounts, selling commissions or transfer taxes attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by the Holders thereof, which underwriting discounts, selling commissions and transfer taxes shall be borne by such Holders. Except as provided in this <u>Section 6</u> and <u>Section 8</u> of this Agreement, the Company shall not be responsible for the expenses of any attorney or other advisor employed by a Holder or for any other fees, disbursements and expenses incurred by Holders not specifically agreed to in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Assignment of Rights</u>. The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by each Holder to any transferee or assignee of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities (which Registrable Securities continue to constitute Restricted Common Stock following such transfer or assignment) as long as (i) such transfer or assignment is not a sale or transfer pursuant to a Registration Statement and is effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (ii) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to become bound by and subject to the terms of this Agreement; and (iii) such Holder notifies the Company in writing of such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred or assigned. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Majority Holders (other than by merger or consolidation or to a corporation which acquires the Company including by way of acquiring all or substantially all of the Company's assets, if immediately after (and as a result of) such merger, consolidation, reorganization or sale, the Holders own equity securities of such other corporation, which shall not require such consent).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Indemnification</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder, its affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, members, managers, partners, investment advisers, employees and agents, and each other person, if any, who controls or is under common control with such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the "**<u>Holder Indemnified Parties</u>**"), against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) (collectively, "**<u>Losses</u>**") that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement prepared and filed by the Company under which Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus as defined under Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act ("**<u>Free Writing Prospectus</u>**"), any "testing-the-water" communication that is a written communication within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act ("**<u>Testing the Water Communication</u>**"), any road show communication as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act ("**<u>Road Show Communication</u>**"), final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances in which the statements were made), and the Company shall reimburse the Holder Indemnified Parties for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon (x) an untrue statement in or omission from such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, Testing the Water Communication, Road Show Communication, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information included in the Selling Securityholder Questionnaire, attached hereto as <u>Annex A</u>, furnished by a Holder or its representative (acting on such Holder's behalf) to the Company expressly for use in the preparation thereof or (y) the failure of a Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in <u>Section 5</u> hereof respecting the sale of Registrable Securities. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder Indemnified Parties and shall survive the transfer of such shares by the Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) As a condition to including Registrable Securities in the registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to be bound by the terms of this <u>Section 8</u> and to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, each of its directors, officers, partners, and each underwriter, if any, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any Losses, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, Testing the Water Communication, Road Show Communication, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is included or omitted in reliance upon and in conformity with written information included in the Selling Securityholder Questionnaire, attached hereto as <u>Annex A</u>, furnished by the Holder or its representative (acting on such Holder's behalf) to the Company expressly for use in the preparation thereof, and such Holder shall reimburse the Company, and its directors, officers, partners, and any such controlling persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending, or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, or proceeding; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the indemnity obligation contained in this <u>Section 8(b)</u> shall in no event exceed the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder as a result of the sale of such Holder's Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person and shall survive the transfer by any Holder of such shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in this <u>Section 8</u> (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this <u>Section 8</u>, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced in defending such claim by such failure to give notice in any material respect. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such indemnified party a conflict of interest between such indemnified party and indemnifying parties may exist or the indemnified party may have defenses not available to the indemnifying party in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim or the indemnified party may have defenses not available to the indemnifying party in respect of such claim after the assumption of the defenses thereof or the indemnifying party fails to defend such claim in a diligent manner. Neither an indemnified party nor an indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action or proceeding effected without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation or which includes any admission as to fault, culpability or failure to act on the part of such indemnified party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and without limiting any of the rights set forth above, in any event any party shall have the right to retain, at its own expense, counsel with respect to the defense of a claim. Each indemnified party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an indemnifying party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If an indemnifying party does not or is not permitted to assume the defense of an action pursuant to <u>Section 8(c)</u> or in the case of the expense reimbursement obligation set forth in <u>Sections 8(a)</u> and <u>8(b)</u>, the indemnification required by <u>Sections 8(a)</u> and <u>8(b)</u> shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Losses are incurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If the indemnification provided for in <u>Sections 8(a)</u> and <u>8(b)</u> is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other (determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission), or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated, then in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, but also the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this <u>Section 8(e)</u>, no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission. No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this <u>Section 8</u> are in addition to any liability that the indemnifying parties may have to the indemnified parties and are not in diminution or limitation of the indemnification provisions under any other agreements between any of the Holders and the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. (a) <u>Rule 144</u>. The Company hereby represents and warrants to each of the Holders that the Common Stock is, and as of the Effective Date will be, registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. At all times on and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall timely file (or furnish, as applicable) all reports, statements and other documents required to be filed with (or furnished to) the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act (the "**<u>SEC Documents</u>**"), and without the prior written consent of the Majority Holders, the Company shall not terminate or suspend, or allow the termination or suspension of, the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or otherwise terminate or suspend, or allow the termination or suspension of, its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act, even if the applicable securities laws would otherwise permit any such termination or suspension, except in connection with a sale of the Company subject to approval of its stockholders. None of the SEC Documents, when filed, furnished or submitted, shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Without limiting the foregoing and with a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144, the Company hereby agrees to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) so long as any of the Holders holds any Registrable Securities, promptly upon such Holder's request at any time on or after October 6, 2026, furnish to such Holder (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act as required for applicable provisions of Rule 144, (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit such Holder to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Stock Exchange Listing</u>. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Common Stock to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and listed on a National Securities Exchange as soon as practicable after the Company meets all of the applicable listing criteria for any National Securities Exchange and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Common Stock to all times thereafter remain registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and listed on a National Securities Exchange, including by ongoing compliance with all applicable listing requirements of the National Securities Exchange. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to meet the listing criteria for at least one National Securities Exchange as soon as reasonably possible after the Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, all expenses in connection with the matters contemplated by this <u>Section 9(b)</u> shall be borne by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Miscellaneous</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Governing Law</u>. This Agreement and any matter related hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the federal securities laws of the United States of America (as applicable) and the laws of the State of New York, both substantive and remedial, without regard to New York conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any judicial proceeding brought against any of the parties to this Agreement or any dispute arising out of this Agreement or any matter related hereto shall be brought in the state or federal courts of the State of New York, New York County, and, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party to this Agreement accepts the jurisdiction of such courts. The foregoing consent to jurisdiction shall not be deemed to confer rights on any person other than the parties to this Agreement. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF SUCH PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Remedies</u>. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement, without the necessity of posting bond or other security. Each of the Company and the Holders agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Successors and Assigns</u>. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, permitted assigns, executors and administrators of the parties hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>No Inconsistent Agreements</u>. The Company has not entered, as of the date hereof, and shall not enter, on or after the date of this Agreement, into any agreement with respect to its securities that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, and except for those certain Registration Rights Agreements entered into between the Company and the person/entities parties thereto, dated September 29, 2025 and April 20, 2026 (the "**<u>PIPE Registration Rights Agreements</u>**"), the Company shall not enter into any agreement that would require the inclusion, and shall not include, any securities other than the Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement required to be filed hereunder without the prior written consent of the Majority Holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Entire Agreement</u>. This Agreement and the documents, instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Notices, etc</u>. All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications which are required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing will be deemed given to a party (a) upon receipt, when personally delivered; (b) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, costs prepaid on the date of delivery, if delivered to the appropriate address by hand or by nationally recognized overnight courier service (costs prepaid); (c) the time of transmission if sent by facsimile or e-mail with confirmation of transmission by the transmitting equipment if such notice or communication is delivered prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on a Trading Day, or the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on any Trading Day, provided confirmation of facsimile is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party and confirmation of email is kept on file, whether electronically or otherwise, by the sending party and the sending party does not receive an automatically generated message from the recipient's email server that such e-mail could not be delivered to such recipient; (d) the date received or rejected by the addressee, if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (e) seven (7) days after the placement of the notice into the mails (first class postage prepaid), in each case, to the party at the address, facsimile number, or e-mail address furnished by the such party,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Delays or Omissions</u>. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Holder, upon any breach or default of the Company under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such Holder nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach or default thereunder occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Holder of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any Holder of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement, or by law, in equity or otherwise afforded to any holder, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail, which contains a copy of an executed signature page such as a portable document format (.pdf) 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 or e-mail of an executed signature page such as a .pdf signature page were an original thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Severability</u>. In the case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be replaced with a valid, legal and enforceable provision that as closely as possible reflects the parties' intent with respect thereto, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) <u>Amendments</u>. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended at any time and from time to time, and particular provisions of this Agreement may be waived, with and only with an agreement or consent in writing signed by the Company and the Majority Holders; provided that this Agreement may not be amended and the observance of any term hereof may not be waived with respect to any Holder without the written consent of such Holder if such amendment or waiver adversely affects the rights of such Holder under this Agreement in a manner that is different than the other Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of one or more Holder and that does not adversely directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holder may be given by Holders holding all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) <u>Independent Nature of Holders' Obligations and Rights</u>. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters and the Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions. Except as expressly provided herein, each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained herein was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Holder. Except as expressly provided herein, it is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder, solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) <u>Subsequent Registration Rights</u>. Except for the PIPE Registration Rights Agreements, until all of the Registrable Securities have been registered for resale under an effective Registration Statement and the Common Stock is quoted on a National Securities Exchange, the Company shall not enter into any agreement granting registration rights more favorable than the registration rights set forth in this Agreement without the written consent of the Majority Holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) <u>Rules of Construction</u>. Unless the context otherwise requires, (i) all references to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits are to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits contained in or attached to this Agreement, (ii) each accounting term not otherwise defined in this Agreement has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with GAAP, (iii) words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, (iv) the use of the word "including" in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation, and (v) the word "or" shall not be exclusive.

**<u>Exhibit A</u>**

**<u>Form of Plan of Distribution</u>**

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION**

The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. At and after such time, the selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of their shares through public or private transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

● purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;

● ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

● block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

● an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

● through trading plans entered into by a selling stockholder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;

● short sales;

● distribution to employees, members, limited partners or stockholders of the selling stockholders;

● through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

● by pledge to secured debts and other obligations;

● delayed delivery arrangements;

● to or through underwriters or agents;

● in "at the market" offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents;

● in privately negotiated transactions;

● in options transactions; and

● through a combination of any of the above methods of sale, as described below, or any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

There can be no assurance that the selling stockholders will sell all or any of the securities offered by this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, or in other transactions exempt from registration, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of securities if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this sale of common stock by the selling stockholders.

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the common stock or interests therein may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder in the Offering has informed us that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. If a selling stockholder is deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement that includes this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

Agents, broker-dealers and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us and the selling stockholders against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which the agents, broker-dealers or underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep this registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective for five years from the date it is declared effective by the SEC or until the date on which all of the shares of common stock required to be registered by us have been sold or otherwise transferred other than to assignees pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. See the section of this prospectus captioned "*Shares Eligible for Future Sale — Registration Rights*."

Certain of our stockholders have entered into lock-up agreements. See the section of this prospectus captioned "*Shares Eligible for Future Sale —Lock-Up Agreements*."

**4. Beneficial Ownership of Securities of the Company Owned by the Selling Securityholder:**

*Except as set forth below in this Item 4, the undersigned is not the beneficial or registered owner of any securities of the Company.*

(a) Please list the type (common stock, warrants, etc.) and amount of all securities of the Company (including any Registrable Securities) beneficially owned<sup>1</sup> by the Selling Securityholder:

**5. Relationships with the Company:**

*Except as set forth below, neither you nor (if you are a natural person) any member of your immediate family, nor (if you are not a natural person) any of your affiliates<sup>2</sup>, officers, directors or principal equity holders (owners of 5% of more of the equity securities of the undersigned) has held any position or office or has had any other material relationship with the Company (or its predecessors or affiliates) during the past three years.*

State any exceptions here:

***<sup>1</sup>*** ***Beneficially Owned*:** A "beneficial owner" of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares (i) ***voting power***, including the power to direct the voting of such security, *or* (ii) ***investment power***, including the power to dispose of, or direct the disposition of, such security. In addition, a person is deemed to have "beneficial ownership" of a security of which such person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time within sixty (60) days, including, but not limited to, any right to acquire such security: (i) through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (ii) through the conversion of any security or (iii) pursuant to the power to revoke, or the automatic termination of, a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement.

It is possible that a security may have more than one "beneficial owner," such as a trust, with two co-trustees sharing voting power, and the settlor or another third party having investment power, in which case each of the three would be the "beneficial owner" of the securities in the trust. The power to vote or direct the voting, or to invest or dispose of, or direct the investment or disposition of, a security may be indirect and arise from legal, economic, contractual or other rights, and the determination of beneficial ownership depends upon who ultimately possesses or shares the power to direct the voting or the disposition of the security.

The final determination of the existence of beneficial ownership depends upon the facts of each case. You may, if you believe the facts warrant it, disclaim beneficial ownership of securities that might otherwise be considered "beneficially owned" by you.

<sup>2</sup> ***Affiliate*:** An "affiliate" is a company or person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls you, or is controlled by you, or is under common control with you.

The undersigned agrees to promptly notify the Company of any material inaccuracies or changes in the information provided herein that may occur subsequent to the date hereof at any time while the Registration Statement remains effective; provided, that the undersigned shall not be required to notify the Company of any changes to the number of securities held or owned by the undersigned or its affiliates.

By signing below, the undersigned consents to the disclosure of the information contained herein in its answers to Items 1 through 5 and the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto. The undersigned understands that such information will be relied upon by the Company in connection with the preparation or amendment of the Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned, by authority duly given, has caused this Selling Securityholder Notice and Questionnaire to be executed and delivered either in person or by its duly authorized agent.
