Exhibit 10.1 - Execution Version

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of April 17, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Rockwell Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Russell H. Ellison MD (“Executive”), subject to the terms and conditions defined in this Agreement.
 WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire that Executive be employed by the Company to act as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.  Executive’s employment shall also be subject to such policies and procedures as the Company may from time to time implement and that are provided to the Executive;
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants contained herein, and for other valuable consideration, the Company and Executive hereby agree as follows:
1. Certain Definitions.  Certain definitions used herein shall have the meanings set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.
2.    Executive’s Duties and Obligations.
(a)    Duties; Start Date.  Executive shall serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer effective on April 17, 2020, or such other mutually agreeable date (such date being referred to herein as the “Commencement Date”). Executive shall report to the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Company.  Executive shall have those duties and responsibilities customarily associated with the position of CEO of a public-traded company of the size and nature of the Company, and such other additional duties and responsibilities consistent with Executive’s position as may, from time to time, be assigned to Executive by the Board. Executive shall continue to serve on the Board of the Company so long as Executive continues to be employed by the Company.  
(b)    At-Will Employment.  Executive’s employment shall be on an at-will basis, meaning that either party may terminate this employment arrangement at any time and without cause.  The term of this Agreement shall be from the Effective Date through the applicable date of termination (the “Term”).  On the date of termination of employment, Executive acknowledges that he shall immediately be deemed to have resigned all employment and related job duties and responsibilities with the Company, including, without limitation, any Board position and any and all positions on any committees or boards of the Company or any affiliated company.  Executive agrees to sign all reasonable documentation evidencing the foregoing as may be presented to Executive for signature by the Company. 
(c)    Confidential Information and Inventions Matters.  In consideration of the covenants contained herein, Executive has executed and agrees to be bound by the Company’s form of Employee Confidentiality, Assignment of Inventions, Non-Interference and Non-Competition Agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B.  Executive shall comply in all material respects at all times with the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement and all other reasonable policies of the Company governing its 

        

confidential and proprietary information.  In the event that Executive breaches any provisions of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, then, in addition to any other rights which the Company may have, the Company shall be entitled, without the posting of a bond or other security, to seek injunctive relief to enforce the restrictions contained therein.  In the event that an actual proceeding is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, Executive shall not assert as a defense that there is an adequate remedy at law, nor shall the Company be prevented from seeking any other remedies which may be available.
		
	3.
	Devotion of Time to Company’s Business.

(a)    Full-Time Efforts.  During Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive shall devote substantially all of Executive’s business time, attention and efforts to the proper performance of Executive’s duties and obligations hereunder.
(b)    No Other Employment.  During Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive shall not, except as otherwise provided herein, directly or indirectly, render any services of a commercial or professional nature to any other person or organization, whether for compensation or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Board; provided, however, that it shall not be a violation or breach of this Agreement for Executive to (i) accept speaking or presentation engagements in exchange for honoraria; (ii) serve on boards of charitable organizations or participate in charitable, educational, religious or civic activities; (iii) attend to his and his family’s personal affairs; or (iv) own no more than three percent (3%) of the outstanding equity securities of a corporation whose stock is listed on a national stock exchange, so long as such activities are not adverse to the Company’s interests and do not materially interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder.
		
	4.
	Compensation and Benefits.

(a)    Base Compensation.  During the Term, the Company shall pay to Executive base annual compensation (“Base Salary”) of $500,000 ($41,666.67 monthly), payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices and less all required withholdings benefits as hereinafter set forth in this Section 4.  Executive’s Base Salary shall be reviewed annually and may be increased based on an assessment of Executive’s performance, the performance of the Company, inflation, the then prevailing salary scales for comparable positions and other relevant factors; provided, however, that any increase in Base Salary shall be solely within the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board .  Executive’s Base Salary may not be subject to reduction from the level set forth above, unless pursuant to a salary reduction program of general application to employment contract executives of the Company, provided that, unless agreed to in writing by Executive, the percentage reduction of Executive’s Base Salary shall not be greater than the percentage reduction applied to any other employment contract executive of the Company.
(b)    Bonuses.  
(i)    One-Time Performance-Based Bonus. Following the Commencement Date, the Company will pay Executive a One-Time Performance-Based Bonus in the aggregate amount of $500,000 in cash within thirty (30) days of the Achievement Date (as defined below), if (x) within 

2    

12 months of the Commencement Date, the Company’s Enterprise Value (as defined below) meets or exceeds $400 million for thirty (30) consecutive days, or (y) within 24 months of the Commencement Date, the Company’s Enterprise Value meets or exceeds $500 million for thirty (30) consecutive days (the “Achievement Date”).  “Enterprise Value” shall mean the market capitalization of the Company minus cash and cash equivalents. For the avoidance of doubt, the One-Time Performance-Based Bonus shall be payable once and only once. 
(ii)    Annual Bonus.  During the Term and commencing in 2020, Executive shall be eligible for year-end bonuses, which shall be paid in cash (any such bonus an “Annual Bonus”), in a target amount equal to 70% of Executive’s Base Salary, as then in effect (the “Target Bonus”), as may be awarded pursuant to any annual executive bonus plan and related corporate goals approved solely at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board.  Any such Annual Bonus shall contain such rights and features as are typically afforded to other contract executives of the Company. To be eligible to receive an Annual Bonus, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the date such bonuses are paid. Executive’s Annual Bonus shall be pro-rated for 2020, in accordance with Executive’s Commencement Date.
(c)    Long-Term Incentive Grants.  As of the Commencement Date, the Executive will eligible to participate in the Company’s 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Such awards will be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the forms of award agreement adopted by the Board for use thereunder.   
(i)    Initial Option Grant.  On the Commencement Date, Executive shall be awarded an option to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of common stock (the “Option”). The Option will have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Commencement Date and will vest and become exercisable as follows: (1) 600,000 will vest and become exercisable ratably on each of the first three anniversaries of the Commencement Date so that the Option is fully vested and exercisable on the third anniversary of the Commencement Date, subject to the Executive’s continued service through each applicable vesting date; (2) 300,000 shall vest and become exercisable if the annualized net sales run rate for Triferic (measured over any given fiscal quarter) meets or exceeds $20,000,000 by no later than December 31, 2021 (the “Net Sales Performance Option”), provided that, a pro-rata portion of the Net Sales Performance Option shall vest to the extent the net annualized sales run rate (measured quarterly) meets or exceeds $14,500,000 by December 31, 2020; and (3) 300,000 shall vest and become exercisable if the Company commences a Phase II Study for Triferic in a second indication of Triferic within twelve (12) months of the Commencement Date. The Options described in this Section 4(c)(i)(2) and 4(c)(i)(3) (the “Contingent Options”) are conditioned upon and shall be subject to stockholder approval of the Company’s Amendment and Restatement of  the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which will be voted upon by the stockholders at the Company’s annual stockholder meeting.   The Company’s failure to obtain stockholder approval shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement. In the event the Company fails to obtain stockholder approval, Executive and the Company mutually agree to negotiate an alternative compensation package in lieu of granting the Contingent Options that will provide Executive with a comparable compensation opportunity. 

3    

(ii)    Annual Equity Grants. During the Term, Executive shall be eligible to receive annual long-term incentive grants consistent with similar practices for the Company’s senior executives, which may be paid in either cash or equity, or both (any such grants a “Long-Term Incentive Grant”), as may be awarded solely at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board; provided that the Compensation Committee shall be under no obligation whatsoever to grant such discretionary Long-Term Incentive Grants.  Any Long-Term Incentive Grants issued to Executive shall be governed by the Company’s then-applicable long-term incentive plan(s) and any long-term incentive grant agreement(s) under the then applicable long-term incentive plan(s) under which they are issued. 
(d)    Benefits.  During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements made available generally to the Company’s senior executives or to its employees on substantially the same basis that such benefits are provided to such senior executives; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Company to establish or maintain any particular plans, programs or arrangements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of participation in the Company’s health plan, Executive shall be reimbursed monthly for the cost of premiums paid by the Executive for the medical coverage he currently maintains; provided, that the total amount of payments to the Executive under this sentence shall not exceed the employer portion of any premium payment paid on the behalf of senior executives under the Company’s health plan. 
(e)    Vacations.  During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to 20 days paid-time off (“PTO”) days, to be earned ratably throughout the year starting on the Commencement Date.  PTO days may be only carried from one year to the next in accordance with the Company PTO policy, provided that the Executive shall not be entitled to carry forward into the following year a balance of more than 10 PTO days.
(f)     Reimbursement of Business Expenses.  Executive is authorized to incur reasonable expenses in carrying out Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement and the Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable expenses, in accordance with and subject to the applicable policies and procedures of the Company.  In addition, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Executive for all reasonable legal fees incurred by Executive in connection with the review, negotiation, drafting and execution of this Agreement, up to a cap of $23,000.

Executive shall not be 

4    

entitled to receive any other compensation or benefits from the Company whatsoever (except as provided below and as and to the extent the continuation of certain benefits is required by law).
(ii)    In the case of a termination due to death or Disability, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any stock option, restricted stock or other equity award agreement between the Company and Executive, (x) all shares underlying Executive’s time-based outstanding equity awards, including all options that are time-based awards (as opposed to performance-based) to acquire Company stock held by Executive shall accelerate and become fully vested upon the Date of Termination and (y) the Contingent Options, to the extent outstanding as of the date of such termination, shall accelerate, if at all, in accordance with the terms of the stock option award agreement evidencing such Contingent Options and all such exercisable time-based options and Contingent Options (if any), shall thereupon remain fully exercisable until the earlier of (i) one (1) year from date of termination due to death or Disability or (ii) the expiration of their stated terms.

If (x) Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, death or Disability (i.e., without Cause) or (y) Executive terminates employment with Good Reason, then Executive will receive the Accrued Amounts and, on the condition that the Executive signs a separation agreement containing a  plenary release of claims in  the form attached as Exhibit C hereto (subject to any changes required by applicable law), which such plenary release becomes final, binding and irrevocable within 30 days after the Date of Termination (or such longer period of time as required by applicable law), the Executive shall also be entitled to receive the following from the Company:
(i)    (x) An amount equal to the sum of (A) the Executive’s annualized Base Salary then in effect; and (B) 100% of the annual Target Bonus then in effect (both determined without regard to any reduction in such Base Salary constituting Good Reason), payable in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll schedule, from the Date of Termination to the date that is 12 months after the Date of Termination (the “Severance Period”); provided, however, that each installment payable before the plenary release becomes final, binding and irrevocable shall not be paid to the Executive until such plenary release becomes final, binding and irrevocable (at which time all such amounts that would have been paid but for the delay described in this clause (i) shall be paid); provided further, however, that if the time period for the release to be executed and become irrevocable spans two calendar years, the installment payments due once the plenary release becomes final, binding and irrevocable shall be paid no earlier than January 1 of the later calendar year; 
(ii)    During the Severance Period, if Executive elects to continue Company medical benefits through the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the out-of-pocket cost of continuing medical benefits, on the same terms and conditions as such benefits are provided to active employees of the Company, for up to 12 months.  If on the Date of Termination Executive is not covered by the Company’s health plan, in lieu of the reimbursement for COBRA premiums, during the Severance Period, Executive shall receive the payments described in the last sentence of Section 4(d).  Company’s obligation under this Section 5(b)(ii) shall terminate to the extent that substantially similar coverage (determined on a benefit-by-benefit basis) is provided by a subsequent employer;

5    

(iii)    Subject to the plenary release becoming final, binding and irrevocable, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any stock option or restricted stock or other equity award agreement between the Company and the Executive, (x) the time-based equity awards set forth in Section 4(c)(i) shall continue to vest over the Severance Period and (y) the Contingent Options, to the extent outstanding as of the date of such termination, shall accelerate, if at all, in accordance with the terms of the stock option award agreement evidencing such Contingent Options and all vested stock options to acquire Company stock and all other similar vested equity awards held by the Executive as of the Date of Termination, including the vested Contingent Options, if any, and the time-based stock options that continue to vest over the Severance Period, shall continue to be exercisable for a period of one year from the Date of Termination, or, if earlier, until the ultimate expiration date of such awards; and
(iv)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive engages in a material breach of any provision of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement during the Severance Period (or the period applicable to such obligation, if shorter or longer), and such breach is not cured within five business days after receipt from the Company of notice thereof, then the Company’s continuing obligations under this Section 5(b) shall cease as of the date of the breach and the Executive shall be entitled to no further payments or benefits hereunder.
(c)    Termination in connection with a Change of Control.  In the event of a Change of Control, if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or by Executive for Good Reason during the Effective Period, then Executive shall be entitled to receive the following from the Company:
(i)    The Accrued Amounts;
(ii)    Within 10 days after the Date of Termination, a lump sum cash payment equal to the Target Bonus, multiplied by the fraction obtained by dividing the number of days Executive was employed during the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs by 365;
(iii)    Within 10 days after the Date of Termination, a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to 1.5 times the sum of (A) Executive’s annual Base Salary then in effect, plus (B) 100% of Executive’s Target Bonus (in each case, determined without regard to any reduction in such Base Salary constituting Good Reason); provided, however, that if Executive’s employment is terminated prior to the consummation of a Change of Control but under circumstances that would cause the Change of Control Date to precede the date that the Change of Control is consummated, such amount will be paid in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll schedule over the Benefit Period (defined below), subject to all remaining installments being paid in a lump sum on the date on which the Change of Control is consummated;
(iv)    If Executive elects to continue Company medical benefits under COBRA, for a period of 12 months following the Date of Termination (the “Benefit Period”), the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the out-of-pocket cost of continuing medical benefits for such period on the same terms and conditions as such benefits are provided to active employees of the Company. If on the Date of Termination Executive is not covered by the Company’s health plan, in lieu of the reimbursement for COBRA premiums, during the Benefit Period, Executive shall 

6    

receive the payments described in the last sentence of Section 4(d).   Company’s obligation under this Section 5(c)(iv) shall terminate to the extent that substantially similar coverage (determined on a benefit-by-benefit basis) are provided by a subsequent employer;
(v)    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any stock option, restricted stock or other equity award agreement between the Company and Executive, (x) all shares underlying Executive’s time-based outstanding equity awards, including all options that are time-based awards (as opposed to performance-based) to acquire Company stock held by Executive shall accelerate and become fully vested upon the Date of Termination and all restrictions thereon shall be lifted and (y) the Contingent Options, to the extent outstanding as of the date of such termination, shall accelerate, if at all, in accordance with the terms of the stock option award agreement evidencing such Contingent Options and, and all such exercisable time-based stock options and Contingent Options (if any) shall continue to be exercisable for the remainder of their stated terms; and
(vi)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive engages in a material breach of any provision of this Agreement or Executive’s Confidentiality Agreement during the Severance Period, and such breach is not cured within five business days after receipt from the Company of notice thereof, then the Company’s continuing obligations under this Section 5(c) shall cease as of the date of the breach and the Executive shall be entitled to no further payments or benefits hereunder.
		
	6.
	Notice of Termination.

(a)    Any termination of Executive’s employment by the Company for Cause, or by Executive for Good Reason shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 10.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Notice of Termination” means a written notice which: (i) is given at least 10 days prior to the Date of Termination (at least 30 days in the case of Notice of Termination given by Executive for Good Reason, following the notice and cure period set forth below in the definition of Good Reason); (ii) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon; (iii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated; and (iv) specifies the employment termination date. 
(b)    A termination of employment of Executive will not be deemed to be for Good Reason unless Executive gives the Notice of Termination provided for herein within 30 days after Executive has actual knowledge of the act or omission of the Company constituting such Good Reason and Executive gives the Company a 30-day cure period to rectify or correct the condition or event that constitutes Good Reason and Executive delivers final Notice of Termination within 30 days of the date that Company’s failure to cure deadline has expired, which final Notice of Termination must specify a Date of Termination of no later than 30 days after the final Notice of Termination is provided.
7.     Mitigation of Damages.  Executive will not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment or benefit provided for under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise.  Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5(b)(ii) and 5(c)(iv), the amount of any payment or benefit provided for under this Agreement will not be reduced by any compensation or 

7    

benefits earned by Executive as the result of self-employment or employment by another employer or otherwise.
8.    Excess Parachute Excise Tax.
(a)    Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment, award, benefit or distribution (including any acceleration) by the Company or any entity which effectuates a transaction described in Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code to or for the benefit of Executive (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 8) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred with respect to such excise tax by Executive (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), the Company will automatically reduce such Payments to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary so that no portion of the remaining Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax, unless the amount of such Payments that the Executive would retain after payment of the Excise Tax and all applicable Federal, state and local income taxes without such reduction would exceed the amount of such Payments that the Executive would retain after payment of all applicable Federal, state and local taxes after applying such reduction.  Unless otherwise elected by the Executive to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Payments by first reducing or eliminating any cash severance benefits (with the payments to be made furthest in the future being reduced first), then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of stock options or similar awards, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of restricted stock or similar awards, then by reducing or eliminating any other remaining Payments; provided, that no such reduction or elimination shall apply to any non-qualified deferred compensation amounts (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) to the extent such reduction or elimination would accelerate or defer the timing of such payment in manner that does not comply with Section 409A of the Code.
(b)    All determinations required to be made under this Section 8, including the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by the Company’s independent auditors or such other certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Executive as may be designated by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company.  All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company.  Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Executive.

13.    Arbitration.
(a)    If the parties are unable to resolve any dispute or claim relating directly or indirectly to this Agreement or any dispute or claim between Executive and the Company or its officers, directors, agents, or employees (a “Dispute”), then either party may require the matter to be settled by final and binding arbitration by sending written notice of such election to the other party clearly marked ‘Arbitration Demand.’  Such Dispute shall be arbitrated in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 13.

(c)    Nothing contained herein shall operate to prevent either party from asserting counterclaim(s) in any arbitration commenced in accordance with this Agreement, and any such party need not comply with the procedural provisions of this Section 13 in order to assert such counterclaim(s).

9    

(d)    The arbitration shall be filed with the office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) located in New York, New York or such other AAA office as the parties may agree upon (without any obligation to so agree).  The arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the Employment Arbitration Rules of AAA as in effect at the time of the arbitration hearing, such arbitration to be completed in a 60-day period.  In addition, the following rules and procedures shall apply to the arbitration:

(ii)    The decision of the arbitrator, which shall be in writing and state the findings, the facts and conclusions of law upon which the decision is based, shall be final and binding upon the parties, who shall forthwith comply after receipt thereof.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any competent court.  Each party submits itself to the jurisdiction of any such court, but only for the entry and enforcement to judgment with respect to the decision of the arbitrator hereunder.
(iii)    The arbitrator shall have the power to grant all legal and equitable remedies (including, without limitation, specific performance) and award compensatory and punitive damages if authorized by applicable law.
(iv)    The parties shall bear their own costs in preparing for and participating in the resolution of any Dispute pursuant to this Section 13, and the costs of the arbitrator(s) shall be equally divided between the parties.
(v)    Except as provided in the last sentence of Section 13(a), the provisions of this Section 13 shall be a complete defense to any suit, action or proceeding instituted in any federal, state or local court or before any administrative tribunal with respect to any Dispute arising in connection with this Agreement.  Any party commencing a lawsuit in violation of this Section 13 shall pay the costs of the other party, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and defense costs.
		
	14.
	Miscellaneous.

(a)    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, governed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the application of choice-of-law rules.
(b)    Amendments.  No amendment or modification of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the parties hereto.
(c)    Severability.  If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, such provisions shall be construed, if possible, so as to be enforceable under applicable law, or such provisions shall be excluded from this Agreement and 

10    

the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(d)    Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the beneficiaries, heirs and representatives of Executive (including the Beneficiary) and the successors and assigns of the Company.  The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, reorganization, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, liquidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of its assets, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform this Agreement if no such succession had taken place.  Regardless whether such agreement is executed, this Agreement shall be binding upon any successor of the Company in accordance with the operation of law and such successor shall be deemed the Company for purposes of this Agreement.
(e)    Successors and Assigns.  Except as provided in Section 14(d) in the case of the Company, or to the Beneficiary in the case of the death of Executive, this Agreement is not assignable by any party and no payment to be made hereunder shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other charge.
(f)    Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver.  No remedy conferred upon either party by this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.  No delay or omission by either party in exercising any right, remedy or power hereunder or existing at law or in equity shall be construed as a waiver thereof, and any such right, remedy or power may be exercised by such party from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient or necessary by such party in such party’s sole discretion.
(g)    Survivorship.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all terms and provisions of this Agreement that by their nature extend beyond the termination of the Term shall survive such termination.
(h)    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one document.  Signatures to this Agreement may be delivered by any electronic means.
15.    Section 409A of the Code.  The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent.  Executive’s termination of employment (or words to similar effect) shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement unless such termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder.
(a)    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is deemed on the date of Executive’s termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B) and using the identification methodology selected by

EXHIBIT B
EMPLOYEE CONFIDENTIALITY, ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS, NON-INTERFERENCE AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT
The following is an agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of April 17, 2020 between Rockwell Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and any successor in interest, and me, Russell H. Ellison, and this Agreement is a material part of the consideration for my Employment Agreement with the Company:
1.     Job Title and Responsibility.  I understand that my job title with the Company will be President and Chief Executive Officer.  My job duties and responsibilities will be those set forth in my Employment Agreement with the Company.
2.     Consideration.  I understand that the consideration to me for entering into this Agreement is my Employment Agreement with the Company, and I agree that this consideration is fully adequate to support this Agreement.
3.     Proprietary Information.  I acknowledge that the Company is engaged in a continuous program of research, development and production.  I also acknowledge that the Company possesses or has rights to secret, private, confidential information and processes (including processes and information developed by me during my employment by the Company) which are valuable, special and unique assets of the Company and which have commercial value in the Company’s business (“Proprietary Information”).  Proprietary Information includes, but is not limited to, information and details regarding the Company’s business, trade or business secrets, inventions, intellectual property, systems, policies, records, reports, manuals, documentation, models, data and data bases, products, processes, operating systems, manufacturing techniques, research and development techniques and processes, devices, methods, formulas, compositions, compounds, projects, developments, plans, research, financial data, personnel data, internal business information, strategic and staffing plans and practices, business, marketing, promotional or sales plans, practices or programs, training practices and programs, costs, rates and pricing structures and business methods, computer programs and software, customer and supplier identities, information and lists, confidential information regarding customers and suppliers, and contacts at or knowledge of Company suppliers and customers or of prospective or potential customers and suppliers of the Company.
4.     Obligation of Confidentiality.  I understand and agree that my employment creates a relationship of confidence and trust between the Company and me with respect to (i) all Proprietary Information, and (ii) the confidential information of others with which the Company has a business relationship.  At all times, both during my employment by the Company and after the termination of my employment (whether voluntary or involuntary), I will keep in confidence and trust all such information, and I will not use, reveal, communicate, or disclose any such Proprietary Information or confidential information to anyone or any entity, without the written consent of the Company, unless I am ordered to make disclosure by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding any 

17    

other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement, if I make a confidential disclosure of a Company trade secret to a government agency, government official or an attorney for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or in a court filing under seal, I will not be held liable under this Agreement or any other agreement, or under any federal or state trade secret law for such a disclosure.  Moreover, nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement shall prevent me from making a confidential disclosure of any other Proprietary Information to a government official, to an attorney as necessary to obtain legal advice or in a court filing under seal or otherwise as required by law.   By signing this Agreement, I agree to waive my right to recover individual relief based on any claims asserted in such a complaint or charge; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement limits my right to receive an award for information I provide to any government agencies that are authorized to provide monetary or other awards to eligible individuals who come forward with information that leads to an agency enforcement action.
5.     Ownership, Disclosure and Assignment of Proprietary Information and Inventions.  In addition, I hereby agree as follows:
 (a)     Ownership and Assignment.  All Proprietary Information is, and shall be, the sole and exclusive property of the Company and its successors and assigns, and the Company and its successors and assigns shall be the sole and exclusive owner of all Proprietary Information, including, but not limited to, trade secrets, inventions, patents, trademarks, copyrights, and all other rights in connection with such Proprietary Information.  I agree that I have no rights in Proprietary Information.  I hereby assign, and shall assign, to the Company and its successors and assigns any and all rights, title and interest I may have or acquire in Proprietary Information.  Any copyrightable work prepared in whole or in part by me in the course of my employment shall be deemed “a work made for hire” under applicable copyright laws, and the Company and its successors and assigns shall own all of the rights in any copyright.
 (b)     Return of Materials and Property.  All documents, records, apparatus, equipment, databases, data and information, whether stored in physical form or by electronic means, and all electronic, computer, intellectual, and physical property (“Materials and Property”), whether or not pertaining to Proprietary Information, furnished to me by the Company or produced by me or others in connection with employment, shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company.  I shall return to the Company all Materials and Property as and when requested by the Company.  Even if the Company does not so request, I shall return all Materials and Property upon termination of employment by me or by the Company for any reason, and I will not take with me any Materials and Property, or any reproduction thereof, upon such termination.
 (c)     Notification.  During the term of my employment and for one (1) year thereafter, I will promptly disclose to the Company, or any persons designated by it, all improvements, inventions, intellectual property, works of authorship, formulas, ideas, processes, techniques, discoveries, developments, designs, devices, innovations, know-how and data, and creative works in which copyright and/or unregistered design rights will subsist in various media (collectively, “Inventions”), whether or not such Inventions are patentable, which I make or conceive, contribute to, reduce to practice, or learn, either alone or jointly with others, during the term of my employment.

18    

 (d)     Ownership of Inventions.  I agree and acknowledge that all Inventions which I make, conceive, develop, or reduce to practice (in whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others) at any time during my employment by the Company, and (i) which were created using the equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information of the Company; or (ii) which were developed during the hours for which I was compensated by the Company; or (iii) which relate, at the time of conception, creation, development or reduction to practice, to the business of the Company or to its actual or demonstrably anticipated research and development; or (iv) which result from any work performed by me for the Company, shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and its successors and assigns (and to the fullest extent permitted by law shall be deemed works made for hire), and the Company and its successors and assigns shall be the sole and exclusive owner of all Inventions, patents, copyrights and all other rights in connection therewith.

 (e)     Assistance and Cooperation.  With respect to Inventions described in paragraph (d), above, I will assist the Company in every proper way (but at the Company’s expense) to obtain, and from time to time enforce, patents, copyrights or other rights on these Inventions in any and all countries, and will execute all documents reasonably necessary or appropriate for this purpose.  This obligation shall survive the termination of my employment.

 (f)     Exempt Inventions.  I understand that this Agreement does not require assignment of an Invention for which no equipment, supplies, facilities, resources, or trade secret information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely by me on my own time, unless the invention relates (i) directly to the business of the Company or (ii) to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development.  However, I will disclose to the Company any Inventions I claim are exempt, as required by paragraph (c) above, in order to permit the Company to determine such issues as may arise.  Such disclosure shall be received in confidence by the Company.
 6.     Prior Inventions.

Agreement, and I covenant that such list is complete.  If no such list is attached to this Agreement, I represent that I have no such inventions and improvements at the time of my signing this Agreement.
 7.     Other Business Activities.  So that the Company may be aware of the extent of any other demands upon my time and attention, I will disclose to the Company (such disclosure to be held in confidence by the Company) the nature and scope of any other business activity in which I am or become engaged during the term of my employment.  During the term of my employment, I will not engage in any business activity or employment which is in competition with, or is related to, the Company’s business or its actual or demonstrably anticipated research and development, or that will affect in any manner my ability to perform fully all of my duties and responsibilities for the Company.

21    

temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy then available, without requiring the Company to post any bond.

 (b)    No Waiver.  No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right hereunder will operate as a waiver of that or any other right.

EXHIBIT C
SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
This Separation and Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made between Rockwell Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [_________] (“Executive”, and together with the Company, the “Parties,” and each a “Party”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Employment Agreement, dated as of [________], 2020, by and between the Company and Executive (the “Employment Agreement”).
1.    Executive’s employment ended, effective [           , 20  ] (the “Separation Date”).  Effective as of the Separation Date, Executive automatically resigned from any appointed or elected positions with any Released Party (as defined below), and Executive will cooperate with the Company to effectuate such resignations.  The Company has provided Executive his accrued base salary through the Separation Date, and Executive is not owed any additional amount from any Released Party except as set forth herein.
2.     Provided this Agreement has become effective, that Executive’s representations set forth herein are accurate, and that Executive continues to abide by his obligations to the Company, the Company will provide Executive with the severance amounts and benefits set forth in Section 5(b) of the Employment Agreement (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”) in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement.
3.    Executive, on behalf of himself, his heirs, successors, assigns, and any individual or entity that could assert a claim through him or on his behalf relating to Executive’s employment or termination of employment with the Company, fully and forever releases, acquits and discharges the “Released Parties” (defined as the Company, all of its past and present affiliates, parent companies, subsidiaries, investors, predecessors, successors, assigns, and related companies and entities, and all of their past and present shareholders, members, managers, partners, directors, officers, supervisors, trustees, employees, attorneys, persons and agents and all other persons and entities acting in connection with any of them) from and for all manner of claims, allegations, suits, charges, administrative actions, litigation and/or causes of action of any type, based upon any fact or set of facts, known or unknown, existing from the beginning of time through the date this Agreement is signed by him (the “Released Claim(s)”).  Without limitation and for illustration purposes only, the Released Claims include claims for or relating to:  monetary damages and relief and/or recovery of every type; wrongful discharge; breach of express or implied contract, including regarding the Employment Agreement; any severance policy or plan; any incentive equity plan, policy or agreement; attorneys’ fees and costs; retaliation, discrimination and/or harassment related to any protected characteristic or activity; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment (“ADEA”), the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act; and all other federal, state, common or local statutes, ordinances and laws.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive is not prohibited from making or asserting: (i) Executive’s rights under this Agreement and any claims arising from the breach of this Agreement, the Employment Agreement or any equity award 

25    

agreement by the Company, including any claim for breach of Company’s obligation to make the payments described in Section 2 above; (ii) Executive’s rights, if any, to indemnity pursuant to the Company’s articles, bylaws, or any indemnification agreement between the Company and Executive and/or to the protections of any director’ and officers’ liability policies of the Company and (iii) if Executive owns an equity interest in the Company, his rights as an equity owner.
4.    The Parties intend that the general release by Executive will be construed as broadly as possible.  Executive agrees not to commence or pursue any legal action regarding any Released Claims, provided that this Agreement does not limit his right, where applicable, to file or participate in an investigative proceeding of any federal, state or local governmental agency.  To the extent permitted by law, Executive agrees that if such an administrative claim is made, he shall not be entitled to recovery of individual monetary relief or other individual remedies, provided that nothing in this Agreement limits his right to participate in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) whistleblower program and receive a whistleblower’s award thereunder.

Executive will cooperate with the Company in providing information with respect to all reports required to be filed by the Company with the SEC as they relate to required information with respect to him.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company may be required to file a copy of this Agreement with the SEC.
7.    Executive acknowledges that he remains bound by, and will comply in all material respects with, his post-employment obligations to the Company, including but not limited to those set forth in the Employment Agreement and the Restrictive Covenant Agreement.
8.    Executive acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to the requirements of Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Section 954”), certain payments received by Executive may be subject to “clawback” in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its applicable financial statements due to the Company’s material noncompliance with applicable financial reporting requirements.  Executive agrees to promptly return to the Company the amount of any compensation paid to him that is required to be forfeited in accordance with Section 954.
9.    Executive acknowledges that the Company’s promises set forth throughout this Agreement would not be provided unless Executive executed this Agreement and are each separate and adequate consideration for this Agreement, including Executive’s release of claims.
10.    To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except as to statements made in legal, administrative or arbitral proceedings in disputes between Executive and the Company and truthful 

26    

testimony, Executive agrees that he will not make public statements that defame, disparage or otherwise publicly speak of the Company or its present or former officers or members of the Board and/or its products or services in a false or misleading manner, including but not limited to through any media, social media, Facebook, Twitter or similar mechanism.
11.    To the fullest extent permitted by law and at the sole expense of the Company, Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Released Parties in any internal investigation, any administrative, regulatory or judicial proceeding or any dispute with a third party that he had knowledge of while employed by or providing services to the Company.  Executive’s cooperation may include being available to the Company upon reasonable notice and subject to Executive’s personal and professional commitments, for interviews and factual investigations, appearing at the Company’s request to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process, and turning over to the Company all relevant documents which are or may come into Executive’s possession.  If Executive is served with a subpoena or is required by court order or otherwise to testify or produce documents in any type of proceeding involving the Company or its affiliates, he must advise the Company within ten (10) days of same and reasonably cooperate with the Company in objecting to such request and/or seeking confidentiality protections.
12.    This Agreement does not constitute an admission by the Company that any action it took with respect to Executive was wrongful, unlawful or in violation of any local, state, or federal act, statute, or constitution, or susceptible of inflicting any damages or injury on Executive, and the Company specifically denies any such wrongdoing or violation.
13.    In addition to any other legal and/or equitable remedies, if Executive materially breaches any material provision of this Agreement, the Employment Agreement, the Restrictive Covenant Agreement, or any other contractual or legal obligation Executive owes to the Company, then the Company may cease paying and/or providing the Severance Benefits and Executive will be required to repay and/or forfeit any Severance Benefits received through the date of such breach or discovery of the inaccuracy of his representations, provided that Executive may retain $1,000 of such payments.  The exercise of such remedies will not affect the validity of the release and other obligations of Executive as set forth in this Agreement or otherwise, nor will it limit the other legal and/or equitable remedies otherwise available to any Released Party.
14.    This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the state of Delaware, excluding any such laws that direct the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.  The Released Parties are intended third party beneficiaries of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement.  
15.    This Agreement will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.  If any provision is held to be unenforceable, then such provision will be construed or revised in a manner so as to permit its enforceability to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.  If such provision cannot be reformed in that manner, such provision will be deemed to be severed from this Agreement, but every other provision of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
16.    This Agreement may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated except in a writing signed by Executive and the Company’s signatory to this Agreement or his successor.  

27    

Further, the waiver by a party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or other provision of this Agreement.
17.    Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective successors, permitted assigns and transferees, personal representatives, heirs and estates, as the case may be; provided, however, that Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the Company.
18.    Executive has had 21 calendar days to review and sign this Agreement and is advised to consult with an attorney of his choice before signing this Agreement, which includes a release of potential claims under the ADEA.  Executive understands that he may use as much of this 21-day period as he wishes prior to signing.  Changes to the Agreement, whether material or immaterial, will not restart the review period.  Executive may expressly and voluntarily waive any part or all of the 21-day review period by signing and returning this Agreement prior to the expiration of the review period.  Executive has the right to revoke his release of any and all ADEA claims by informing the Company of such revocation within seven calendar days following his execution of this Agreement (the “Revocation Period”); for the avoidance of doubt, no claims other than those arising under ADEA may be revoked during the Revocation Period.  Any such revocation must be in writing and delivered to the Company in care of its signatory to this Agreement or his successor.  This Agreement will become effective upon execution by Executive with respect to all claims other than those arising under ADEA, and will only become effective with respect to the release of ADEA claims if the Revocation Period has expired without any revocation having been delivered in writing to the Company within the Revocation Period.  In the event that Executive revokes this Agreement with respect to ADEA claims, the Company shall make a single payment of $1,000, at which point Executive will be entitled to no further payments or severance benefits hereunder or under the Employment Agreement. Upon the expiration of the Revocation Period without the revocation of the ADEA claims, this Agreement shall be deemed to have become “final, binding and irrevocable,” as set forth in Section 5(b) of the Employment Agreement.
19.    This Agreement reflects the entire agreement of the parties relative to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior, contemporaneous, oral or written understandings, agreements, statements, representations or promises regarding the subject matter hereof, provided that this Agreement does not supersede or modify the Employment Agreement, the Restrictive Covenant Agreement and those agreements pertaining to Executive’s equity holdings.
20.    This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, and when this Agreement has been signed by all parties, each counterpart shall constitute an original, notwithstanding that fewer than all of the parties’ signatures appear on any one counterpart.  An electronic signature transmitted by facsimile or other electronic means shall be deemed to be an original.

    Date: April 20, 2020
	 	 
	 	Initial
    Exercise Date: April 20, 2020

 

THIS
PLACEMENT AGENT COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, _____________
or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the
conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date set forth above (the “Initial Exercise Date”)
and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on April 20, 2022 (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter,
to subscribe for and purchase from Pulmatrix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to ______ shares
(as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock. The purchase
price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b). This Warrant
is being issued pursuant to that certain engagement letter, dated as of April 16, 2020, by and between the Company and H.C. Wainwright
& Co., LLC.

 

Section
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated April 16, 2020, among the Company and the purchasers
signatory thereto.

 

    	1

    	 

    

 

Section
2. Exercise.

 

a)
Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any
time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly
executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto
(the “Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days
comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid,
the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by
wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section
2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall
any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder
has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder
shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice
of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number
of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder
in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing
the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of
Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant,
acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant
Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount
stated on the face hereof.

 

b)
Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $2.0888, subject to adjustment
hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

 

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

 

(A)
= as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice
of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both
executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours”
(as defined in Rule 600(b)(68) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the
option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise
or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s
execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours”
on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular
trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice
of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered
pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

 

    	2

    	 

    

 

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

 

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

 

“Bid
Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common
Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest
preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based
on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading
Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX
as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common
Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting
prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value
of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest
of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the
Company.

 

“VWAP”
means, for any date, the price determined by
the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily
volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which
the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City
time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of
the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not
then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market
(or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of
the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an
independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably
acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

    	3

    	 

    

 

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

 

Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise
pursuant to this Section 2(c).

 

d)
Mechanics of Exercise.

 

i.
Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted
by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with
The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company
is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the
Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder
without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise
by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee,
for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder
in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the
Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number
of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date,
the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for
all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised,
irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than
in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by the Warrant Share Delivery Date. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver
to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to
the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based
on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per
Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share
Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer
agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard
Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s
primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

 

    	4

    	 

    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    	6

    	 

    

 

e)
Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not
have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect
to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s
Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons,
“Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined
below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with
respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable
upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates
or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the
Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise
analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties.
Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged
by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent
that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation
to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant
is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be
the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together
with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.
In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected
in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent
public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading
Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the
Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of
the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the
number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.
The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms
of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended
Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect
to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section
3. Certain Adjustments.

 

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

 

b)
Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company
grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata
to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will
be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could
have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without
regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before
the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the
date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase
Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase
Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate
in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right
to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its
right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

    	8

    	 

    

 

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

 

d)
Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in
one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company
(and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer,
conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any,
direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant
to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property
and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly,
in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any
compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities,
cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share
purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off,
merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than
50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons
making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement
or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this
Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately
prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section
2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the
Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”)
receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant
is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise
of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to
apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common
Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in
a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common
Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder
shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such
Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not
the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this
Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such
Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security
of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is
exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to
the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise
of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder
to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental
Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being
for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction),
and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction,
the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction,
the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead
to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the
Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named
as the Company herein.

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

 

f)
Notice to Holder.

 

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

 

ii.
Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever
form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common
Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall
be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a
party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby
the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered
by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register
of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating
(x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants,
or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend,
distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that
holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other
property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure
to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action
required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material,
non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with
the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the
period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise
be expressly set forth herein.

Section
4. Transfer of Warrant.

 

a)
Transferability. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), neither this Warrant nor any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative,
put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of
180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of the offering pursuant to which this Warrant
is being issued, except the transfer of any security:

 

	 	i.	by
    operation of law or by reason of reorganization of the Company;
	 	 	 
	 	ii.	to
    any FINRA member firm participating in the offering and the officers and partners thereof, if all securities so transferred
    remain subject to the lock-up restriction in this Section 4(a) for the remainder of the time period;
	 	 	 
	 	iii.	if
    the aggregate amount of the securities of the Company held by the placement agent or related persons do not exceed 1% of the
    securities being offered;
	 	 	 
	 	iv.	that
    is beneficially owned on a pro-rata basis by all equity owners of an investment fund, provided that no participating member
    manages or otherwise directs investments by the fund, and participating members in the aggregate do not own more than 10%
    of the equity in the fund; or
	 	 	 
	 	v.	the
    exercise or conversion of any security, if all securities received remain subject to the lock-up restriction in this Section
    4(a) for the remainder of the time period.

 

Subject
to the foregoing restriction and subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section
4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including,
without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached
hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making
of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants
in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument
of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this
Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically
surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender
this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company
assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for
the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

    	11

    	 

    

 

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

 

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

 

d)
Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant,
the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions
or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer,
that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.

 

e)
Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant
and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a
view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

 

Section
5. Miscellaneous.

 

a)
No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting
rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i),
except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting the rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless
exercise,” and to receive the cash payments contemplated pursuant to Sections 2(d)(i) and 2(d)(iv), in no event will the
Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

 

    	12

    	 

    

 

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

 

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

 

d)
Authorized Shares.

 

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

 

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

 

    	13

    	 

    

 

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

 

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

 

f)
Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered,
and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities
laws.

 

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

 

h)
Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company
shall be delivered to the address for the Holder that appears in the Company’s Warrant Register.

 

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

 

    	14

    	 

    

 

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

 

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

 

l)
Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company,
on the one hand, and the Holder of this Warrant, on the other hand.

 

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

 

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