Convertible Promissory Note shall be referred to herein as the “Note” and referred to collectively with other notes
of the same series as the “Notes”.

 

1.           Purpose.  This
Note is made and delivered by the Maker to the Holder as of the date first written above (the “Original Issue Date”)
pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2015, by and among the Maker and the

by the Maker under the Purchase Agreement.  All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings

2.           Interest.  Simple
interest on the Principal Amount from time-to-time remaining unpaid shall accrue from the date of this Note at the rate of six

be paid, at the Maker’s option, in cash, or in shares of Maker’s Common Stock or in a mix of both, as further specified
herein.

 

3.           Maturity
Date.  All amounts, including principal and interest, payable hereunder shall be due and payable on the earliest
to occur of (i) November 6, 2017 (the “Calendar Due Date”), (ii)) the listing (the “Listing”) of the Maker’s
Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market or NYSE MKT (each, a “National Exchange”), or (iii) a Change of Control (as
defined below). Such date shall be referred to herein as the “Maturity Date”.

 

4.           Methods
of Repayment.

 

4.1           Mandatory
Conversion at Maturity.  On the Maturity Date, all amounts payable hereunder (except for interest, which is subject

4.2           Optional
Conversion prior to Maturity.  Prior to the Maturity Date, all or a portion of the principal payable hereunder, along
with a proportional amount of all other amounts then payable under the Note (except for interest, which is subject to payment in
accordance with Section 4.3 of this Note), may from time to time be repaid with shares of the Maker’s Common Stock in accordance
with the terms of Section 5.2 of this Note. Each date of such an optional conversion shall be referred to herein as an “Optional
Conversion Date”.

 

    -1-

     

    

 

4.3 Method of Interest Payment.
Interest payable hereunder shall be paid on the earlier of the Maturity Date or the Optional Conversion Date of the outstanding
principal amount of the Note as to which such interest has accrued. Such payment may be made in cash, in shares of the Maker's
Common Stock, or in a mixture of both, at the election of the Maker. If the Maker elects to pay any portion of the interest in
shares, such shares will be converted in accordance with Section 5.3 of this Note.

 

4.4           
No Prepayment Right.  All amounts payable hereunder shall be repaid on the Maturity Date or on one or more Optional
Conversion Dates.

 

5.           Conversion
of Note.  The following provisions shall govern the conversion into shares of Common Stock of any and all amounts
due under this Note.

 

5.1Mandatory Conversion at Maturity.  On
the Maturity Date, all amounts payable hereunder (except for interest, which shall be paid in accordance with Section 5.3 of this
Note) shall be paid in shares of the Maker’s Common Stock at a conversion price (the “Mandatory Principal Conversion
Price”) equal to the lowest of: (i) $0.35 (the “Closing Price”), (ii) the Listing Price (as defined below), (iii)
the Public Offering Price (as defined below), (iv) the Private Offering Price (as defined below), or (v) the Change of Control
Price (as defined below).  The “Listing Price” means the lower of the opening and closing National Exchange
prices (as appropriately adjusted to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with respect
to the Maker’s capital stock after the date hereof) on such day that the Maker’s Common Stock is first traded on a
National Exchange. The “Public Offering Price” means the price per share (as appropriately adjusted to reflect stock
dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Maker’s capital stock after the
date hereof) paid by public investors in an underwritten public offering conducted in connection with the Listing, without regard
to any underwriting discount or other offering expense. The “Private Offering Price” means the means the lowest price
per share (as appropriately adjusted to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with
respect to the Maker’s capital stock after the date hereof) paid by investors in any private equity, equity-linked or debt
financing (other than the Offering) conducted after the date hereof prior to the Listing, without regard to any broker’s
fee or other offering expense. The “Change of Control Price” means the per-share consideration (as appropriately adjusted
to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Maker’s capital
stock after the date hereof) paid in the Change of Control.

 

5.2Optional Conversion prior to
Maturity.  On each Optional Conversion Date, if any, all principal to be repaid on such date, along with a proportional
amount of all other amounts then payable under the Note (except for interest, which shall be paid in accordance with Section 5.3
of this Note) shall be paid in shares of the Maker’s Common Stock at a conversion price (the “Optional Principal Conversion
Price”) equal to the Closing Price.

 

5.3Conversion of Interest. On
the Maturity Date and on each Optional Conversion Date, if any, the portion of the interest then payable hereunder that the Maker
elects to pay in shares, if any, shall be paid in shares of the Maker’s Common Stock at a conversion price (the “Interest
Conversion Price”) equal to the closing public market price (as appropriately adjusted to reflect stock dividends, stock
splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Maker’s capital stock after the date hereof) of
the Maker’s Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of Maturity or such Optional Conversion Date, as
applicable.

 

5.4           Conversion
Rate.  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion pursuant to Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 shall be
determined by dividing (x) the Principal Amount (plus other amounts payable) and the amount accrued interest, as the case may be,
to be paid (the “Conversion Amount”) by (y) the Mandatory Principal Conversion Price, the Optional Principal Conversion
Price or the Interest Conversion Price, as applicable.

 

5.5           No
Fractional Shares.  The Maker shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion.  If
the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Maker shall round up such fraction of a
share of Common Stock to the nearest whole share.  The Maker shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes
that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion.

 

    -2-

     

    

 

5.6           Mechanics
of Conversion. Within 20 days of the Maturity Date and each Optional
Conversion Date, if any, the Maker shall transmit to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock representing full repayment
of the Conversion Amount being made on such date, and cash to the extent interest due on such date is being paid in cash, together
with an explanation of the calculation of the share and cash amounts being transmitted.  Upon receipt of such items,
the Holder shall surrender this Note to a common carrier for delivery to the Maker as soon as practicable on or following such
date (and shall execute an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).  The
person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all
purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Maturity Date or Optional Conversion Date, as applicable.

 

5.7           Reservation
of Common Stock. Until the Notes are paid in full, the Maker shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Note
such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Maker’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock
hereunder assuming all amounts payable under this Note shall be paid in shares of Common Stock (without regard to any limitation
otherwise contained herein with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquirable upon exercise of this Note).  If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, at any time any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Maker does not
have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock (the “Required Reserve Amount”) to satisfy
its obligation set forth in this Section 5.7 (such failure, an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Maker shall immediately
take all action necessary to increase the Maker’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the
Maker to maintain the Required Reserve Amount for all the Notes then outstanding.  Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event
later than 60 days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Maker shall, to the extent necessary or advisable
in order to cure sure Authorized Share Failure, hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in the number
of authorized shares of Common Stock, in connection with such meeting, provide each shareholder with a proxy statement, and use
its best efforts to solicit its shareholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause
its board of directors to recommend to the shareholders that they approve such increase.

 

5.8Adjustments.  The
applicable Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant
to Section 5 hereof, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while the Maker’s
conversion obligations remain outstanding, as follows:

 

5.8.1           Merger,
Sale of Assets, etc.  If the Maker at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially
all of its assets to any other entity, this Note, as to the unpaid Principal Amount thereof and other payments and interest accrued
thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of shares or other securities and property
as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect
to the securities subject to the conversion or purchase right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.  The
foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of this Section 5.8 shall apply to such securities of such
successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.

 

5.8.2           Reclassification,
etc.  If the Maker at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or
a different number of securities of any class or classes that may be issued or outstanding, this Note, as to the unpaid Principal
Amount thereof and other payments and interest accrued thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an
adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect
to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.

 

    -3-

     

    

 

5.8.3           Notice
of Adjustment.  Whenever the applicable Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 5.8, the Maker shall
promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the applicable Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

6.           Registration;
Book-Entry. The Maker shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses
of the holders of each Note and the Principal Amount of the Notes held by such holders (the “Registered Notes”).  The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error, and to that extent the Maker and
the holders of the Notes shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes,
including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of the Principal Amount and interest, if any, hereunder, notwithstanding
notice to the contrary.  A Registered Note may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only in accordance with the terms
of Section 11.3 of this Note and by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register.

 

7.           Defaults;

a receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, or has a petition filed against it be adjudicated
a bankrupt, or files a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other
applicable law or statute of the United States of America or any State thereof;

 

7.1.5           A
court of competent jurisdiction enters an order, judgment, or decree appointing, without the consent of the Maker, a receiver of
the Maker or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, or approving a petition filed against the Maker seeking reorganization
or arrangement of the Maker under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law or statute of the United States of America
or any State thereof, and such order, judgment, or decree shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within 60 days from the date
of entry thereof;

after the expiration of such stay; provided, however, that any judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity from a creditworthy
party shall not be included in calculating the $250,000 amount set forth above so long as the Maker certifies that it has not received
a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider denying such coverage (which written statement shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Holder) and if the Maker will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within 30 days of the issuance
of such judgment;

 

    -4-

     

    

 

7.1.10         A
default by the Maker occurs under one or more obligations in an aggregate monetary amount in excess of $250,000 for more than 30
days after the applicable due dates, unless the Maker is contesting the validity of each such obligation in good faith and has
segregated cash funds equal to not less than one-half of the disputed amount;

 

7.1.11The Maker fails to deliver
the shares of Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to and in the form required by this Note or, if required, a replacement Note,
more than five Business Days after the required delivery date of such Common Stock or replacement Note;

 

7.1.12The Maker fails to have reserved

such Event of Default occurs with respect to any of the other Notes.

 

7.2           Notice

7.3           Remedies.  Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default, all sums due and payable to the Holder under this Note shall, at the option of the Holder,
become due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, or other notice
of dishonor, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Maker.  Any payment under this Note (i) not paid within
10 days following the Calendar Due Date or (ii) due immediately following acceleration by the Holder shall bear interest at the
rate of 15% from such Calendar Due Date or acceleration, as applicable, until paid, subject to Section 7.5.  To the extent
permitted by law, the Maker waives any right to and stay of execution and the benefit of all exemption laws now or hereafter in
effect.  In addition to the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Holder may forthwith exercise
singly, concurrently, successively, or otherwise any and all rights and remedies available to the Holder at law, in equity, or
otherwise.

 

7.4           Remedies
Cumulative, etc.  No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Holder under this Note, or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise, is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every such right
or remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent, and shall be in addition to every other such right or remedy, and may be pursued
singly, concurrently, successively, or otherwise, at the sole discretion of the Holder, and shall not be exhausted by any one exercise
thereof but may be exercised as often as occasion therefor may occur.  No act of the Holder shall be deemed or construed
as an election to proceed under any one such right or remedy to the exclusion of any other such right or remedy; furthermore, each
such right or remedy of the Holder shall be separate, distinct, and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion
of any other.

 

7.5           Usury
Compliance.  All agreements between the Maker and the Holder are expressly limited, so that in no event or contingency
whatsoever, whether by reason of the consideration given with respect to this Note, the acceleration of maturity of the unpaid
Principal Amount and interest thereon, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Holder for the use, forbearance,
or detention of the indebtedness which is the subject of this Note exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under the applicable
usury laws.  If, under any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Note shall involve transcending
the highest interest rate permitted by law which a court of competent jurisdiction deems applicable, then the obligations to be
fulfilled shall be reduced to such maximum rate, and if, under any circumstances whatsoever, the Holder shall ever receive as interest
an amount that exceeds the highest lawful rate, the amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of
the unpaid Principal Amount under this Note and other amounts (excluding interest) owed in respect of this Note, and not to the
payment of interest, or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of the Principal Amount under this Note and such
other amounts (excluding interest), such excess shall be refunded to the Maker.  This provision shall control every other
provision of all agreements between the Maker and the Holder.

8.           Replacement

of this Note and (in case of loss, theft, or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to it, and upon surrender and cancellation
of this Note, if mutilated, the Maker will make and deliver a new Note of like tenor in lieu of this Note.

Covenants.

 

9.1           Restricted

11.1           Amendment
and Waiver by the Holders.  The Notes, including this Note, may be amended, modified, or supplemented, and waivers
or consents to departures from the provisions thereof may be given, if the Maker and the holders of an aggregate majority of the

11.2            Severability.  In
the event that for any reason one or more of the provisions of this Note or their application to any person or circumstance shall
be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect or to any extent, such provision shall nevertheless remain valid,

Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the
construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New
York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any
other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York.  The
Maker hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York,
Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated
hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an
inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  The Maker hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof
to such party at the address it set forth on the signature page hereto and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any manner permitted by law.  In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under
any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith
and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute or rule of law.  Any such provision which may prove invalid or
unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note.  Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the
Maker in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Maker’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any
other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder.  THE MAKER

OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.  This Note shall be deemed
an unconditional obligation of Maker for the payment of money and, without limitation to any other remedies of Holder, may be enforced
against Maker by summary proceeding pursuant to New York Civil Procedure Law and Rules Section 3213 or any similar rule or statute
in the jurisdiction where enforcement is sought.  For purposes of such rule or statute, any other document or agreement
to which Holder and Maker are parties or which Maker delivered to Holder, which may be convenient or necessary to determine Holder’s
rights hereunder or Maker’s obligations to Holder are deemed a part of this Note, whether or not such other document or agreement
was delivered together herewith or was executed apart from this Note.

by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or
other proceeding, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

 

11.8                   Delays
or Omissions.  No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to the Holder, upon any breach
or default of the Maker under this Note shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of the Holder nor shall it be construed to
be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring;
nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default therefore or thereafter
occurring.  Any waiver, permit, consent, or approval of any kind or character on the part of the Holder of any breach
or default under this Note or any waiver on the part of the Holder of any provisions or conditions of this Note must be made in

STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

Issue Date: November 6, 2015

 

 

THIS CERTIFIES that __________________ (the
“Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth in this Warrant
(this “Warrant”), at any time on or after (except as otherwise limited below) the date of the applicable
event specified below and on or prior to the Expiration Date, but not thereafter, to subscribe for and to purchase from Workhorse
Group Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001
par value (the “Common Stock”), up to the number of such shares set forth below .

 

This Warrant is issued pursuant to a Securities
Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”), and is one of the Warrants (collectively,
the “Warrants”) being issued in connection with the issuance of shares of Common Stock (the “Offering
Shares”) being issued by the Company to raise up to $20 million (the “Offering”).  Capitalized
terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

 

The following is a statement of the rights of
the Holder of this Warrant and the conditions to which this Warrant is subject, to which the Holder, by the acceptance of this
Warrant, agrees:

 

1. Certain
Definitions.

 

1.1          ”Exercise
Price” means per-Share exercise price equal to 120% of the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the
OTCQB Marketplace (or if the Common Stock does not then trade on such market, on such other U.S. public trading market on which
the Common Stock then trades) ’on the trading day immediately prior to the Initial Closing Date.

 

1.2           ”Expiration
Date” means that date that is five (5) years after the issue date set forth above.

  

1.3           ”Shares”
means the shares of Common Stock issuable under this Warrant, as set forth in Section 2 below.

 

2. Number
of Shares and Exercise Price

 

2.1This Warrant shall be exercisable
for up to ____ ( ) Shares at the Exercise Price.

2.2This Warrant may
be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on or prior to the Expiration Date. 

 

    -1-

     

    

 

3. Exercise
of Warrant

 

3.1 The
purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant
and the Notice of Exercise annexed hereto duly executed at the Company’s principal executive office (or such other officer
or agent of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books
of the Company), and upon payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares thereby purchased (by cash or by check or bank
draft payable to the order of the Company); whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to receive the number of Shares so purchased.
The Company agrees that if at the time of the surrender of this Warrant and purchase of the Shares, the Holder shall be entitled
to exercise this Warrant, the Shares so purchased shall be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such Shares as of the close
of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid or on such later date requested by the Holder
or on such earlier date agreed to by the Holder and the Company.

 

3.2Delivery of Common Stock Certificates
and New Warrant. As soon as reasonably practicable after each exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any event
within five (5) business days thereafter (the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”), the Company, at its expense (including
the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes), will cause the name of the Holder (or as Holder may direct) to be entered in
the register of holders in respect of the Warrant Shares and further cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder
hereof or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

 

(a) the number of duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled upon exercise, in certificated form with
appropriate restrictive legends, if applicable; and

 

(b) in case exercise is in part only, a new
Warrant document of like tenor, dated the date hereof, for the remaining number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant after giving effect to the partial exercise of this Warrant (including the delivery of any Warrant Shares as payment of
the Exercise Price for such partial exercise of this Warrant).

 

4. Nonassessable

 

The Company covenants that all Shares which
may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens
and charges in respect of the issue thereof.  

 

5. Fractional
Shares

 

No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon the
exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares delivered shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share, and the Company shall
pay to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the fraction represented by the fractional share multiplied by the closing price of
the Company’s Common Stock on the OTCQB Marketplace (or if the Common Stock does not then trade on such market, on such other
U.S. public trading market on which the Common Stock then trades).

 

6. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses

 

Issuance of Shares upon the exercise of this
Warrant, in certificated form or otherwise, shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any issue or transfer tax or
other incidental expense in respect of the issuance, including relating to any certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall
be paid by the Company, and such Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder.

 

    -2-

     

    

 

7. No
Rights as Shareholders

 

This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to
any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.

 

8. Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc.

 

If the last or appointed day for the taking
of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday, then
such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

 

9. Adjustments

 

The Exercise Price and the number of Shares
purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

 

9.1 Reclassification,
etc.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, by
reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change the class of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant
exist into the same or a different number of securities or any other class or classes of securities, this Warrant shall thereafter
represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with
respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification
or other change and the Exercise Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided
in this Section 9.

 

9.2 Subdivision
or Combination of Shares.  In the event the Company shall at any time subdivide the outstanding securities as to
which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, or shall issue a stock dividend on the securities as to which purchase rights under
this Warrant exist, the number of securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist immediately prior to such subdivision
or to the issuance of such stock dividend shall be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased,
and in the event that the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant
exist, the number of securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist immediately prior to such combination shall
be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on
the date of such subdivision, stock dividend or combination, as the case may be.

 

9.3 Cash
Distributions.  No adjustment on account of cash dividends or interest on the securities as to which purchase rights
under this Warrant exist will be made to the Exercise Price under this Warrant.

 

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

11. Intentionally
Left Blank.

 

12.           Miscellaneous.

 

12.1           Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant.  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, delivery of an indemnity
agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation
of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new Warrant executed in the same manner as this
Warrant and of like tenor and amount. 

 

12.2           Waivers
and Amendments.  This Warrant and the obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holder under this Warrant
may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively
and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely) with the written consent of the Company (which shall not be required
in connection with a waiver of rights in favor of the Company) and the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding aggregate
principal amount under the Notes; provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver shall reduce the number of
Shares represented by this Warrant without the consent of the Holder hereof; and provided further, however, that nothing
shall prevent the Holder from individually agreeing to waive the observation of any term of this Warrant.  Any amendment,
waiver, discharge or termination effected in accordance with this Section 12.2 shall be binding upon the Company, the Holder, and
except pursuant to a waiver by an individual holder of another Warrant pursuant to the final proviso in the immediately preceding
sentence, each other holder of Warrants.

 

12.3 Notices.  Any notice,
request or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be given in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

 

       12.4           Severability.  If
one or more provisions of this Warrant are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision(s) shall be excluded from
this Warrant and the balance of this Warrant shall be interpreted as if such provision(s) were so excluded and shall be enforceable
in accordance with its terms.

 

       12.5           Successors
and Assigns.  Neither this Warrant nor any rights hereunder are transferable without the prior written consent
of the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder shall be permitted to transfer this Warrant to any affiliate
(as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933) of the Holder.  If a transfer is permitted pursuant to this Section,
the transfer shall be recorded on the books of the Company upon the surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed, to the Company
at its principal offices, and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer.  In
the event of a partial transfer, the Company shall issue to the holders one or more appropriate new warrants.  Subject
to the foregoing, the provisions of this Warrant shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs,
executors and administrators of the Company and the Holder.

 

       12.6           Delays
or Omissions.  No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to the Holder, upon any breach
or default of the Company under this Warrant shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of the Holder nor shall it be construed
to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter
occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default therefore or
thereafter occurring.  Any waiver, permit, consent, or approval of any kind or character on the part of the Holder of
any breach or default under this Warrant or any waiver on the part of the Holder of any provisions or conditions of this Warrant
must be made in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.  All remedies,
either under this Warrant or by law or otherwise afforded to the Investors, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

       12.7           Titles
and Subtitles.  The titles of the paragraphs and subparagraphs of this Warrant are for convenience of reference only
and are not to be considered in construing this Warrant.

 

       12.8           Construction.  The
language used in this Warrant will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rules
of strict construction will be applied against any party.

 

       12.9           Governing
Law.  THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AS SUCH LAWS ARE APPLIED
TO AGREEMENTS BETWEEN NEW YORK RESIDENTS ENTERED INTO AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN NEW YORK.
