**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a stock purchase agreement and a separate warrant purchase agreement (collectively, the "Purchase Agreements"), both dated as of August 29, 2025, with certain accredited investors named therein (the "Investors"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering by the Company directly to the Investors (the "Offering"), an aggregate of 31,985,103 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Shares" or the "Common Stock"). The Shares consist of (a) 19,196,000 shares of the Company's voting Common Stock ("Voting Common Stock"), and (b) 12,789,103 shares of the Company's non-voting Common Stock (the "Non-Voting Common Stock") that will be issuable six months after closing of the Offering upon exercise of three-year warrants (the "Warrants"). Upon such Warrant holders or their assignees meeting certain conditions (the "Non-Control Conditions") described in the warrant purchase agreement and the prospectus supplement below, the Non-Voting Common Stock may be exchanged for shares of Voting Common Stock (such Non-Voting Common Stock or Voting Common Stock, the "Warrant Shares"). The Shares, the Warrants and the underlying Warrant Shares are collectively referred to as the "Securities." The Shares will be sold to the Investors at a price per share of $1.25 per Share and the Warrants will be sold to Investors at a price of $0.125 per Warrant Share. The Warrants are exercisable no earlier than six months after the closing of the Offering at an exercise price of $1.56 per Warrant Share, subject to increase to as much as $1.685 per Warrant Share under certain conditions described in the Warrant Purchase Agreement. The proceeds from the Offering, prior to deducting the estimated offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $25.6 million. Estimated offering expenses are $250,000.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of this Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures, working capital, debt repayment, and/or general and administrative expenses.

The Purchase Agreements contain customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, and customary conditions to closing. No underwriter or placement agent participated in the Offering.

The Shares and Warrants are being offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated September 2, 2025 and an accompanying base prospectus that form a part of the registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which became effective on May 22, 2025 (File No. 333-287283). The closing of the Offering is expected to take place on or about September 3, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of this document, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as [<u>Exhibit 10.1</u>](ex_858522.htm), and incorporated by reference herein.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding the Company's plans, objectives, goals, strategies, business plans, future events or performance. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "intends," "plans," "projects," "targets," "designed," "could," "may," "should," "will" or other similar words and expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements.

Because forward-looking statements relate to future results and occurrences, they are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties, changes in circumstances and other factors that are difficult to predict. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the Company's current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding its business, plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Many possible events or factors could affect the Company's future financial results and performance and could cause its actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any anticipated results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others: risks and uncertainties associated with market conditions, the satisfaction of customary closing conditions related to the Offering and other risks as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Given these factors, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All information set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K is as of the date of this Form 8-K. The Company undertakes no duty or obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 8-K, whether as a result of new information, future events or changes in its expectations or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law.

Patriot National Bancorp, Inc.

900 Bedford Street

Stamford, Connecticut 06901

Re: <u>Offering of Shares of Common Stock and Warrants</u>

To the addressees set forth above:

We have acted as special counsel to Patriot National Bancorp, Inc., a Connecticut corporation (the "**Company**"), in connection with its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**Commission**") of a prospectus supplement, dated September 2, 2025 (the "**Prospectus Supplement**"), to be filed by the Company with the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Act**"), to a Registration Statement (File No. 333-287283) on Form S-3 (the "**Registration Statement**"), which includes a base prospectus (the "**Base Prospectus**," and such Base Prospectus as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, the "**Prospectus**"). The Prospectus relates to the registration under the Securities Act (the "**Offering**") of up to 19,196,000 shares of the Company's voting common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "**Shares**"), to be offered and sold pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement , dated August 29, 2025, by and between the Company and the purchasers thereto (the "**Stock Purchase Agreement**") and 12,789,103 shares of the Company's Non-Voting Common Stock that will be issuable no sooner than six months following the Closing Date of the Offering upon the exercise of the three year warrants (the "**Warrants**") to be offered and sold pursuant to that certain Warrant Purchase Agreement, also dated August 29, 2025, by and between the Company and the purchasers thereto (the "**Warrant Purchase Agreement**"). The Non-Voting Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may, upon such purchasers meeting the conditions (the "**Non-Control Conditions**") described elsewhere in the Warrant Purchase Agreement and prospectus supplement, may be exchanged for shares of Voting Common Stock (such Non-Voting Common Stock or Voting Common Stock, as applicable, the "**Warrant Shares**"). The Shares, the Warrants, and the underlying Warrant Shares are collectively referred to as the "**Securities**." The forms of Stock Purchase Agreement and Warrant Purchase Agreement (collectively, the "**Purchase Agreements**") and the form of Warrant will be filed as exhibits to a Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement.

------

This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related applicable Prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Shares and the Warrant Shares.

In connection herewith, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of: (i) the Registration Statement and Prospectus as filed with the Commission; (ii) the Purchase Agreements; (iii) the form of Warrant, (iv) the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date; (v) the Company's bylaws, as amended to date; (vi) resolutions of the board of directors of the Company relating to the Offering; and (vii) such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of rendering the opinion set forth herein. We have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. We have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed that: (i) all information contained in all documents reviewed by us is true and correct; (ii) all signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine; (iii) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and all documents submitted to us as copies conform to the originals of those documents; and (iv) each natural person signing any document reviewed by us had the legal capacity to do so.

Based upon the foregoing, and having due regard for such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that the Shares, the Warrants and Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, (a) when issued and delivered by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreements and upon receipt by the Company of the consideration therefor as provided therein, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and (b) when the applicable Warrants have been duly exercised in accordance with their terms and the Warrant Purchase Agreements, including payment of the applicable exercise price, the resulting Warrant Shares of Non-Voting Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; and upon any exchange of such Non-Voting Common Stock for Voting Common Stock in accordance with the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, Warrant and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the resulting Warrant Shares of Voting Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that the Company will comply with all applicable notice requirements regarding uncertificated shares provided in the Connecticut Business Corporation Act of the State of Connecticut. We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Connecticut Business Corporation Act (the "CBCA") and the federal laws of the United States applicable to the opinions expressed herein. Our opinions are based solely on our review of the CBCA as currently in effect.

------

Our opinion set forth above is subject to: (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, including without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought; (iii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of, or contribution to, a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy; (iv) the rights or remedies available to any party that takes discretionary action that is arbitrary, unreasonable or capricious, or is not taken in good faith or in a commercially reasonable manner; (v) legal and ethical obligations that attorneys who are involved in the transaction may be bound; and (vi) the effect of the exercise of judicial discretion, whether in a proceeding in equity or at law..

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company on or about the date hereof and its incorporation by reference into the Registration Statement and further consent to the reference to our firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus, which is a part of the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Michelman & Robinson, LLP

**(d)** Neither the Company or any of its Subsidiaries nor any other person makes or has made any representation or warranty to any Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or representatives, except for the representations and warranties made by the Company in **Section 3.1**, including with respect to (i) any financial projection, forecast, estimate, budget or prospective information relating to the Company, the Bank or any of the Company's other Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or (ii) any oral or written information presented to any Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or representatives in the course of their due diligence investigation of the Company, the negotiation of this Agreement or in the course of the transactions contemplated hereby.

**3.2 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Purchasers**. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

**(a)** <u>Organization; Authority</u>. If such Purchaser is an entity, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. If such Purchaser is an entity, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or, if such Purchaser is not a corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of such Purchaser, and no further approval or authorization by any of such persons, as the case may be, is required. This Agreement has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

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

------

**(c)** <u>Investment Intent</u>. The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for his or its own account and not with a view to, or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, *provided*, *however*, that by making the representations herein, such Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum period of time and reserves the right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities, other than pursuant to the effective Registration Statement under Securities Act, if any, or under an exemption from such registration and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser does not presently have any agreement, plan, or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute or effect any distribution of any of the Securities (or any securities which are derivatives thereof) to or through any person or entity. Such Purchaser is not a registered broker dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered as a broker dealer.

Further, Purchaser understands that no representation is being made as to the future trading value or trading volume of the Securities.

The Purchaser has received all information it deems appropriate for assessing the risk of an investment in the Securities. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser's right to rely on the representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has not made any representation, express or implied, with respect to the accuracy, completeness, or adequacy of any available information except that the Company has made the express representations and warranties contained in **Section 3.1** of this Agreement,

Such Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchaser in connection with the investment in the Securities constitutes legal, regulatory, tax, or investment advice. Such Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax, and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its investment in the Securities. Such Purchaser has not relied on the business, legal, or regulatory advice of the Company's agents, counsel, or Affiliates in making its investment decision hereunder, and confirms that none of such Persons has made any representations or warranties to such Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

**(k)** <u>Trading</u>. Such Purchaser acknowledges that there is a limited trading market for the Common Stock.

**(l)** <u>Knowledge as to Conditions</u>. Such Purchaser does not know of any reason why any regulatory approvals and, to the extent necessary, any other approvals, authorizations, filings, registrations, and notices required or otherwise a condition to the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not be obtained, solely with respect to facts or circumstances related to such Purchaser.

**(m)** <u>Reliance</u>. The Company will be entitled to rely upon this Agreement and is irrevocably authorized to produce this Agreement or a copy hereof to (i) any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Company and its Affiliates, and (ii) any interested party in any Proceeding with respect to the matters covered hereby, in each case, to the extent required by any Governmental Entity to which the Company is subject, provided that the Company provides the Purchaser with prior written notice of such disclosure to the extent practicable and allowed by applicable law.

------

**(n)** <u>Certain Fees</u>. No Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right, interest, or claim against or upon the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, or any Purchaser for any commission, fee, or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement, or understanding entered into by or on behalf of such Purchaser.

**(o)** <u>No General Solicitation</u>. Such Purchaser is not investing in the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice, or other communication regarding the Securities, whether submitted to Purchaser by the Company prior to the Closing, or published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other form of "general solicitation" or "general advertising" (as such terms are used in Regulation D).

(p) <u>No Agreements</u>. Such Purchaser has not entered into any agreements with shareholders of the Company or other subscribers (i) for the purpose of controlling the Company or any Subsidiary or (ii) regarding voting or transferring Purchaser's interest in the Company.

**(p)** <u>Antitrust and Other Consents, Filings, Etc</u>. No approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Entity or authority or any other person or entity in respect of any law or regulation is necessary or required to be obtained or made by such Purchaser, and no lapse of a waiting period under law applicable to such Purchaser is necessary or required, in each case in connection with the execution, delivery, or performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement or the investment in the Securities contemplated hereby, other than passivity or anti-association commitments or other documentation that may be required by the Federal Reserve or other federal or state banking authority and except for such schedules or statements required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Regulation 13D-G of the Exchange Act.

**(q)** <u>Financial Capability</u>. At the Closing, such Purchaser shall have available funds necessary to consummate the Closing on the terms and conditions contemplated by this Agreement.

**(r)** <u>Regulation M</u>. Such Purchaser is aware that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of Securities and other activities with respect to the Securities by the Purchasers.

**(s)** <u>Beneficial Ownership</u>. The purchase by such Purchaser of the Securities issuable to it at the Closing will not result in such Purchaser (including its Affiliates or any other Persons with which it is acting in concert or whose holdings would otherwise be required to be aggregated for purposes of the BHC Act or the CIBC Act) acquiring, or obtaining the right to acquire, more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting securities of the Company or such amount of the voting securities and/or nonvoting securities of the Company that would constitute "control" under the BHC Act or the CIBC Act on a post transaction basis that assumes that such Closing shall have occurred. Such Purchaser does not presently intend to, alone or together with others, make a public filing with the SEC to disclose that it has (or that it together with such other Persons have) acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, as a result of such Closing (when added to any other securities of the Company that it or they then own or have the right to acquire), more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting securities of Company or such amount of the voting securities and/or nonvoting securities of the Company that would constitute "control" under the BHC Act or the CIBC Act of the Company on a post transaction basis that assumes that such Closing shall have occurred.

**(t)** <u>Avoidance of Control</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Purchaser (together with its Affiliates (as such term is used under the BHC Act)) shall have the ability to purchase or exercise any voting rights of any securities in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of the Company. In the event any Purchaser breaches its obligations under this <u>Section 3,2(t)</u>, or believes that it is reasonably likely to breach such an obligation, it shall promptly notify the Company and shall cooperate in good faith to promptly modify any ownership or make other arrangements or take any other action, in each case, as is necessary to cure or avoid such breach.

------

**(u)** <u>Confidentiality and Non-Disparagement.</u> Purchaser agrees to keep all communications with the Company and its officers and directors as confidential and while Purchaser continues to own any Securities purchased hereunder agrees not to disparage the Company or any of its officers, directors, or employees.

**(v)** <u>No Other Representation</u>. Such Purchaser has not made and does not make any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this **Section 3.2**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.** **OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES**

In the event that any signature on this Agreement is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a ".pdf" format data file, such signature shall create a legally 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 ".pdf" signature page were an original thereof.

------

**5.15 Severability**. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

**5.16 Replacement of Securities**. If 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 (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity or bond, if requested. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares.

**5.17 Remedies**. Each of the Purchasers and the Company shall be entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, for any breach of the Transaction Documents.

**5.18 Construction**. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.

This Warrant is issued in connection with the Warrant Purchase Agreement entered into by and between the Company and Holder dated as of August 29, 2025 (the "Agreement"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings as defined in the Agreement.

2. <u>Exercise Price</u>. The exercise price for the Shares shall be **$1.56**, and subject to the Warrant holder meeting the "Non-Control Conditions" set forth below, subject to adjustments as provided below in Section 7, *provided*, *however*, the Holder shall not be entitled to purchase the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant that would cause the Holder (including its Affiliates (as defined in the Agreement) or any other Persons (as defined in the Agreement) with which the Holder is acting in concert or whose holdings would otherwise be required to be aggregated for purposes of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "**BHC Act**") or the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978 ("**CIBC Act**"), to acquire, or to obtain the right to acquire, more than 9.99% of the outstanding Shares or the voting securities of the Company (including Common Shares issuable upon conversion of Series A preferred stock of, no par value per share, of the Company ("**Series A Preferred Stock**")) or such amount of the voting securities and/or nonvoting securities of the Company (including Non-Voting Shares issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock) that would constitute "control" under the BHC Act or the CIBC Act on a post transaction basis that assumes that such purchase shall have occurred (the "**Non-Control Conditions**").

4. <u>Method of Exercise</u>

(a) While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 3 above, the Holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:

(i) the surrender of the Warrant, together with the Notice of Exercise (in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u>) executed by the Holder and delivered to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices; and

(ii) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.

(b) Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been affected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 4(a) above. At such time, the person(s) or entity(ies) in whose name or names any certificates for Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Shares represented by such certificates.

(c) Following surrender of the Warrant, delivery of the Exercise Notice and payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased, the Company shall deliver a replacement Warrant evidencing the balance of any unexercised (vested and unvested) Shares, with otherwise identical terms and conditions.

(d) Upon a certification by Holder that they would own less than 9.9% voting shares post exercise, this Warrant will be exercised into Voting Shares, otherwise they will be exercised into Non-Voting Shares. The Non-Voting Shares would be convertible into Voting Shares consistent with the terms and conditions of the Charter existing on the Date hereof.

Upon the exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of Shares so purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event within twenty (20) days of the delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

7. <u>Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares</u>. The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(a) <u>Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances</u>. If the Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Shares, or issue additional shares of its Shares as a dividend, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price payable per share, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 7(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

(b) <u>Reclassification and Reorganization</u>.

Such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of any series of preferred stock to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation upon the closing of a registered public offering of the Company's common stock. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the holder of this Warrant so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.

(c) <u>Notice of Adjustment</u>. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and of the number of Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall furnish a statement setting forth the calculation of the new number of Shares and Exercise Price, together with such supporting information (*e.g.*, corporate resolutions and amendments to the certificate of incorporation) as the Holder may reasonably request.
