Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On February 9, 2024, 1847 Holdings LLC (the “Company”)
entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain purchasers (the “Purchasers”)
and a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agreement”) with Spartan Capital Securities, LLC, as placement agent
(the “Placement Agent”), relating to the Company’s public offering of common shares and pre-funded warrants (the
“Offering”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Placement Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to
the Purchasers an aggregate of 1,825,937 common shares and 3,174,063 pre-funded warrants for the purchase of 3,174,063 common shares (the
“Warrants”), at an offering price of $1.00 per common share and $0.99 per Warrant, for total gross proceeds of $5,000,000,
pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-276670) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”).
On February 14, 2024, the closing of the Offering
was completed. Pursuant to the Placement Agreement, the Placement Agent received a
cash transaction fee equal to 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds and reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses. After deducting
these and other offering expenses, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $4,460,000. The Company used $1,250,000 of
the net proceeds to repay certain debt and plans to use the remaining net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Warrants are exercisable at any time until
they are exercised in full at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, which has been pre-paid by the Purchasers in full. The exercise price
and number of common shares issuable upon exercise will adjust in the event of certain share dividends and distributions, share splits,
share combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the common shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder will not
have the right to exercise any portion of a Warrant if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99%
of the number of common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, which such percentage may be increased or
decreased by the holder, but not in excess of 9.99%, upon at least 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.
The Purchase Agreement, Placement Agreement and
Warrants include customary representations, warranties and covenants by
the Company. They also provide that the Company will indemnify the Purchasers and the Placement Agent against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.
The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions
of the Purchase Agreement, the Placement Agreement and the Warrants does
not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Purchase Agreement, the Placement
Agreement and the form of Warrant attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 1.1

Exhibit 1.1
PLACEMENT AGENCY AGREEMENT
February 9, 2024
1847 Holdings LLC
590 Madison Avenue, 21st Floor
New York, NY 10022
Attention: Ellery W. Roberts, Chief Executive Officer
Dear Mr. Roberts:
This agreement (the “Agreement”)
constitutes the agreement between Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) and 1847 Holdings LLC, a
limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), pursuant to which the Placement
Agent shall serve as the exclusive placement agent for the Company, on a “reasonable best efforts” basis, in connection with
the proposed public offering (the “Placement”) of up to an aggregate of $5,000,000 of either (a) one share (the “Shares”)
of the Company’s common shares, no par value per share (the “Common Shares”), or (b) one pre-funded warrant to
subscribe for one Common Share (the “Prefunded Warrant”). The Common Shares underlying the Prefunded Warrants shall
hereinafter be referred to as the “Prefunded Warrant Shares”, and the Shares, the Prefunded Warrant, and the Prefunded
Warrant Shares, shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as the “Securities.” The terms of the Placement and the
Securities shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the purchasers (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the
“Purchasers”) and nothing herein constitutes that the Placement Agent would have the power or authority to bind the
Company or any Purchaser or an obligation for the Company to issue any Securities or complete the Placement. This Agreement and the documents
executed and delivered by the Company and the Purchasers in connection with the Placement, including but not limited to the Purchase Agreement
(as defined below), and the form of the Prefunded Warrants shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.”
The date of the closing of the Placement shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” The Company expressly acknowledges
and agrees that the Placement Agent’s obligations hereunder are on a reasonable best-efforts basis only and that the execution of
this Agreement does not constitute a commitment by the Placement Agent to purchase the Securities and does not ensure the successful placement
of the Securities or any portion thereof or the success of the Placement Agent with respect to securing any other financing on behalf
of the Company. With the prior written consent of the Company, the Placement Agent may retain other brokers or dealers to act as sub-agents
or selected-dealers on its behalf in connection with the Placement. The sale of the Securities to any Purchaser will be evidenced by a
securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and such Purchaser in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Company and the Placement Agent. Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to
such terms in the Purchase Agreement. Prior to the signing of any Purchase Agreement, officers of the Company will be available to answer
inquiries from prospective Purchasers.
SECTION 1. REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY; COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
A. Representations
of the Company. Each of the representations and warranties (together with any related disclosure schedules thereto) and covenants
made by the Company to the Purchasers in the Purchase Agreement in connection with the Placement is hereby incorporated herein by reference
into this Agreement (as though fully restated herein) and is, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, hereby made
to, and in favor of, the Placement Agent. In addition to the foregoing, the Company represents and warrants that:
1. The
Company has prepared and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement
on Form S-1, as amended (Registration No. 333-276670), and amendments thereto, for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Securities, which registration statement, as so amended (including post-effective
amendments, if any) became effective on February 9, 2024. Such registration statement, including the exhibits thereto, as of the date
of this Agreement, is hereinafter called the “Registration Statement.” Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration
Statement shall each be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”)
on or before the date of this Agreement; and any reference in this Agreement to the terms “amend,” “amendment”
or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), after the date of this Agreement, deemed
to be incorporated therein by reference. All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information
which is “contained,” “included,” “described,” “referenced,” “set forth” or
“stated” in the Registration Statement (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such
financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued, and no proceeding for any such purpose is pending
or has been initiated or, to the Company’s knowledge, is threatened by the Commission. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Time
of Sale Prospectus” means the preliminary prospectus, if any, together with the free writing prospectuses, if any, used in connection
with the Placement, including any documents incorporated by reference therein.
2. The
Registration Statement (and any further documents to be filed with the Commission) contains all exhibits and schedules as required by
the Securities Act. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time it became effective, complied
in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”)
of the Commission promulgated thereunder and did not and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not, contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
The Incorporated Documents, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange
Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations, and none of such documents, when they were filed with the Commission, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (with respect to Incorporated
Documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading;
and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, when such documents are filed with the
Commission, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations, as
applicable, and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement reflecting any facts or events arising after the date thereof which represent, individually or in the aggregate, a fundamental
change in the information set forth therein is required to be filed with the Commission. There are no documents required to be filed with
the Commission in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby that (x) have not been filed as required pursuant to the Securities
Act or (y) will not be filed within the requisite time period. There are no contracts or other documents required to be described in the
Time of Sale Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits or schedules to the Registration Statement, which (x) have not been described or filed
as required or (y) will not be filed within the requisite time period.
3. Neither
the Company nor any of its directors and officers has distributed, and none of them will distribute, prior to each Closing Date, any offering
material in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities other than the Time of Sale Prospectus.
4. The
Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the Time of Sale Prospectus and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of each
of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized
by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors
(the “Board of Directors”) or the Company’s shareholders in connection therewith other than in connection with
the Required Approvals (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). This Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and, when duly execute
by the Placement Agent and delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii)
as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar
as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
5. The
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated pursuant to the Time of Sale Prospectus,
the issuance and sale of the Securities and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to which it is
a party do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any subsidiary’s certificate or
articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an
event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties
or assets of the Company or any subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with
or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or subsidiary
debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company
or any subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation of any law,
rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company
or a subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company
or a subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
6. Any
certificate signed by an officer of the Company and delivered to the Placement Agent or to counsel for the Placement Agent shall be deemed
to be a representation and warranty by the Company to the Placement Agent as to the matters set forth therein.
7. The
Company acknowledges that the Placement Agent will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of the foregoing representations and warranties
and hereby consents to such reliance.
8. No
forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act) contained in
the Time of Sale Prospectus has been made or reaffirmed without a reasonable basis or has been disclosed other than in good faith.
9. Any
statistical, industry-related and market-related data included or incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Prospectus, are based
on or derived from sources that the Company reasonably and in good faith believes to be reliable and accurate, and such data agree with
the sources from which they are derived.
10. Except
as set forth in the Registration Statement and the Time of Sale Prospectus, no brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or
will be payable by the Company, any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement
agent, investment banker, bank or other person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. There are no other
arrangements, agreements or understandings of the Company or, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its shareholders that may affect
the Placement Agent’s compensation, as determined by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). Other
than payments to the Placement Agent for this Placement, the Company has not made and has no agreements, arrangements or understanding
to make any direct or indirect payments (in cash, securities or otherwise) to: (i) any person, as a finder’s fee, consulting fee
or otherwise, in consideration of such person raising capital for the Company or introducing to the Company persons who raised or provided
capital to the Company; (ii) any FINRA member participating in the offering as defined in FINRA Rule 5110 (a “Participating Member”);
or (iii) any person or entity that has any direct or indirect affiliation or association with any Participating Member, within the 180-day
period preceding the initial filing of the Registration Statement through the 60-day period after the effective date of the Registration
Statement. None of the net proceeds of the Placement will be paid by the Company to any Participating Member or its affiliates, except
as specifically authorized herein. To the Company’s knowledge, no officer, director or any beneficial owner of 10% or more of the
Company’s Common Shares or Common Share equivalents has any direct or indirect affiliation or association with any Participating
Member in the Placement. Except for securities purchased on the open market, no Company affiliate is an owner of stock or other securities
of any Participating Member. No Company affiliate has made a subordinated loan to any Participating Member. No proceeds from the sale
of the Securities (excluding placement agent compensation as disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Time of Sale Prospectus)
will be paid to any Participating Member, any persons associated with a Participating Member or an affiliate of a Participating Member.
Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement or the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Company has not issued any warrants or other securities
or granted any options, directly or indirectly, to the Placement Agent within the 180-day period prior to the initial filing date of the
Registration Statement. Except for securities issued to the Placement Agent as disclosed in the Registration Statement, no person to whom
securities of the Company have been privately issued within the 180-day period prior to the initial filing date of the Time of Sale Prospectus
is a Participating Member, is a person associated with a Participating Member or is an affiliate of a Participating Member. No Participating
Member in the Placement has a conflict of interest with the Company. For this purpose, a “conflict of interest” exists when
a Participating Member, the parent or affiliate of a Participating Member or any person associated with a Participating Member in the
aggregate beneficially own 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding subordinated debt or common equity, or 5% or more of the Company’s
preferred equity. “FINRA member participating in the Placement” includes any associated person of a Participating Member in
the Placement, any member of such associated person’s immediate family and any affiliate of a Participating Member in the Placement.
When used in this Section 1.A.10 the term “affiliate of a FINRA member” or “affiliated with a FINRA member”
means an entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with a FINRA member. The Company will advise the Placement
Agent and its counsel if it learns that any officer, director or owner of 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares
or Common Share equivalents is or becomes an affiliate or associated person of a Participating Member.
11. The
Board of Directors is comprised of the persons set forth under the heading of the Registration Statement captioned “Management.”
The qualifications of the persons serving as board members and the overall composition of the Board of Directors comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and the rules of the Trading Market (as defined below). In
addition, at least a majority of the persons serving on the Board of Directors qualify as “independent” as defined under the
rules of the Trading Market.
12. To
the Company’s knowledge, all information contained in the questionnaires most recently completed by each of the Company's directors
and officers is true and correct in all respects and the Company has not become aware of any information which would cause the information
disclosed in such questionnaires become inaccurate and incorrect.
B. Covenants
of the Company.
1. The
Company has delivered, or will as promptly as practicable deliver, to the Placement Agent materially complete conformed copies of the
Registration Statement and of each consent and certificate of experts, as applicable, filed as a part thereof, and conformed copies of
the Registration Statement (without exhibits), the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, in such quantities and at such
places as the Placement Agent reasonably requests. Neither the Company nor any of its directors and officers has distributed and none
of them will distribute, prior to each Closing Date, any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities
pursuant to the Placement other than the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Registration Statement, copies of the documents incorporated by
reference therein and any other materials permitted by the Securities Act.
2.
Section 4.12(a) of the Purchase Agreement as in effect on the date hereof may not be amended or waived without the prior written consent
of the Placement Agent.
3. The
Company covenants that it will not, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, make any offer relating to the
Securities that would constitute a Company Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus”
(as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under
Rule 433 of the Securities Act. In the event that the Placement Agent expressly consents in writing to any such free writing prospectus
(a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”), the Company covenants that it shall (i) treat each Permitted Free Writing
Prospectus as an Company Free Writing Prospectus, and (ii) comply with the requirements of Rule 164 and 433 of the Securities Act applicable
to such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.
4. The
Company will maintain, at its expense, a registrar and transfer agent for the Common Shares.
SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS
OF THE PLACEMENT AGENT. The Placement Agent represents and warrants that it (i) is a member in good standing of FINRA, (ii) is
registered as a broker/dealer under the Exchange Act, (iii) is licensed as a broker/dealer under the laws of the states applicable to
the offers and sales of the Securities by such Placement Agent, (iv) is and will be a body corporate validly existing under the laws
of its place of incorporation, and (v) has full power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. The
Placement Agent will immediately notify the Company in writing of any change in its status as such. The Placement Agent covenants that
it will use its reasonable best efforts to conduct the Placement hereunder in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the
requirements of applicable law.
SECTION 3. COMPENSATION.
In consideration of the services to be provided for hereunder, the Company shall pay to the Placement Agent or their respective designees
their pro rata portion (based on the Securities placed) of the following compensation with respect to the Securities which they are placing:
A. A
cash fee (the “Cash Fee”) equal to an aggregate of eight percent (8%) of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the
Placement and an upfront payment in the amount of $25,000 as an advance against reasonably anticipated out-of-pocket. The Cash Fee shall
be paid at the closing of the Placement (the “Closing”).
B. Subject
to compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(D), the Company also agrees to reimburse the Placement Agent for all travel and other out-of-pocket
expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs and disbursements of its legal counsel, in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of US$100,000.
The Company will reimburse the Placement Agent directly out of the Closing of the Placement. In the event this Agreement shall terminate
prior to the consummation of the Placement, the Placement Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement for actual incurred expenses; provided,
however, such expenses shall not exceed US$25,000.
C. Upon
the Closing of the Placement or Alternative Transaction (as defined below), for a period of twelve (12) months from such Closing the Company
grants the Placement Agent the right of first refusal to act as sole managing underwriter and sole book runner, sole placement agent,
or sole sales agent, for any and all future public or private equity, equity-linked or debt (excluding commercial bank debt) offerings
for which the Company retains the service of an underwriter, agent, advisor, finder or other person or entity in connection with such
offering during such twelve (12) months period of the Company, or any successor to or any subsidiary of the Company. The Company shall
not offer to retain any entity or person in connection with any such offering on terms more favorable than terms on which it offers to
retain the Placement Agent. Such offer shall be made in writing in order to be effective. The Placement Agent shall notify the Company
within ten (10) business days of its receipt of the written offer contemplated above as to whether or not it agrees to accept such retention.
If the Placement Agent should decline such retention, the Company shall have no further obligations to the Placement Agent with respect
to the offering for which it has offered to retain the Placement Agent, except as otherwise provided for herein. For the avoidance of
doubt, this right of first refusal shall not apply to any offering in which the Company does not engage an underwriter, placement agent
or other registered broker-dealer as intermediary. “Alternative Transaction” shall mean an alternative offering (registered
or unregistered) of the Company’s equity, equity-linked, convertible or debt securities or a reverse merger during the Term (as
defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(6)(a) in no event will this right of first refusal
have a duration of more than three (3) years from the commencement of sales in this Placement. This right of first refusal shall not apply
in the event that the Placement Agent is terminated for cause. For purposes of this Section, “cause” shall mean the material
failure by the Placement Agent to provide the services contemplated by this Agreement.
D. The
Placement Agent reserves the right to reduce any item of its compensation or adjust the terms thereof as specified herein in the event
that a determination shall be made by FINRA to the effect that such Placement Agent’s aggregate compensation is in excess of FINRA
rules or that the terms thereof require adjustment.
SECTION 4. INDEMNIFICATION.
The Company agrees to the indemnification and other agreements set forth in the indemnification provisions (the “Indemnification
Provisions”) attached hereto as Addendum A, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference and shall survive
the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
SECTION 5. ENGAGEMENT
TERM. The Placement Agent’s engagement hereunder shall be until the earlier of (i) March 31, 2024 and (ii) the final closing
date of the Placement (such date, the “Termination Date” and the period of time during which this Agreement remains
in effect is referred to herein as the “Term”); provided, however, that any party may terminate this
Agreement upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the other parties. If the Agreement terminates for any reason (other than for
Cause (as defined below)), or if there is a Closing of the Placement, then, if within twelve (12) months following such termination or
Closing, the Company completes any financing of equity, equity-linked or debt or other capital raising activity of the Company (other
than the exercise by any person or entity of any options, warrants or other convertible securities) with any of the investors introduced
by the Placement Agent, or with whom the Company had an in-person meeting or phone or video call that was facilitated by the Placement
Agent, or investor(s) to whom the Placement Agent sent the Time of Sale Prospectus during the term of this Agreement, then the Company
will pay the Placement Agent upon the closing of such financing the lower of the compensation set forth in Section 3 herein or
the rate of compensation payable in the new financing. At the written request of the Company, the Placement Agent shall provide the Company
with a list of investors introduced by the Placement Agent, or with whom the Company had an in-person meeting or phone or video call
that was facilitated by the Placement Agent or to whom the Placement Agent sent a Time of Sale Prospectus during the Term. “Cause,”
for the purpose of this Agreement, shall mean, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Placement Agent’s gross
negligence, willful misconduct, or a material breach of this Agreement, after being notified in writing of such conduct, and not curing
such alleged conduct within twenty (20) days of notification of such alleged wrongful conduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the provisions concerning the Company’s obligation to pay any fees actually earned pursuant to Section 3
hereof and the provisions concerning confidentiality, indemnification and contribution contained herein and the Company’s obligations
contained in the Indemnification Provisions will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated
prior to the completion of the Placement, all fees due to the Placement Agent shall be paid by the Company to the Placement Agent on
or before the Termination Date (in the event such fees are earned or owed as of the Termination Date). The Placement Agent agrees not
to use any confidential information concerning the Company provided to the Placement Agent by the Company for any purposes other than
those contemplated under this Agreement.
SECTION 6. PLACEMENT
AGENT INFORMATION. The Company agrees that any information or advice rendered by the Placement Agent in connection with this
engagement is for the confidential use of the Company only in their evaluation of the Placement and, except as otherwise required by
law, the Company will not disclose or otherwise refer to the advice or information in any manner without the Placement Agent’s
prior written consent.
SECTION 7. NO
FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP. This Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating rights enforceable by any person
or entity not a party hereto, except those entitled hereto by virtue of the Indemnification Provisions hereof. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the Placement Agent is not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary of the Company and shall have no duties or liabilities
to the equity holders or the creditors of the Company or any other person by virtue of this Agreement or the retention of the Placement
Agent hereunder, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

SECTION 9. GOVERNING
LAW; AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS, ETC. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely in such State, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles
thereof. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any right to trial
by jury with respect to any dispute arising under this Agreement or any transaction or conduct in connection herewith is waived. Any
dispute arising under this Agreement may be brought into the courts of the State of New York or into the federal court located in New
York, New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property,
generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of aforesaid courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of
process and consents, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by delivering
a copy thereof via overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this
Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. The Company agrees that a final
judgment in any such action, proceeding or counterclaim brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and
may be enforced in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which the Company is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment. If either
party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of a Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such action
or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable and documented attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses
incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action
arising out of or based upon this Agreement may be instituted by the Placement Agent, the directors, officers, partners, members, managers,
employees and agents of the Placement Agent, in any court of competent jurisdiction in the City of New York, New York. This paragraph
shall survive any termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part.
SECTION 10. ENTIRE
AGREEMENT/MISC. This Agreement (including the attached Indemnification Provisions) embodies the entire agreement and understanding
between the parties hereto, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, relating to the subject matter hereof, except the
Engagement Letter, by and between the Company and the Placement Agent, dated June 22, 2023. If any provision of this Agreement is determined
to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, such determination will not affect such provision in any other respect or any other provision
of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement may not be amended or otherwise modified or waived except
by an instrument in writing signed by the Placement Agent and the Company. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants
contained herein shall survive the closing of the Placement and delivery of the Securities. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts
have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.
In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or a .pdf format file, such signature shall create a valid and
binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile
or .pdf signature page were an original thereof.
SECTION 11. CONFIDENTIALITY.
The Placement Agent (i) will keep the Confidential Information (as such term is defined below) confidential and will not (except
as required by applicable law or stock exchange requirement, regulation or legal process (“Legal Requirement”), without
the Company’s prior written consent, disclose to any person any Confidential Information, and (ii) will not use any Confidential
Information other than in connection with the Placement. The Placement Agent further agrees, severally and not jointly, to disclose the
Confidential Information only to its Representatives (as such term is defined below) who need to know the Confidential Information for
the purpose of the Placement, and who are informed by the Placement Agent of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information.
The term “Confidential Information” shall mean, all confidential, proprietary and non-public information (whether
written, oral or electronic communications) furnished by the Company to the Placement Agent or its Representatives in connection with
the Placement Agent’s evaluation of the Placement. The term “Confidential Information” will not, however, include
information which (i) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Placement Agent or its Representatives
in violation of this Agreement, (ii) is or becomes available to the Placement Agent or any of its Representatives on a non-confidential
basis from a third-party, (iii) is known to the Placement Agent or any of its Representatives prior to disclosure by the Company or any
of its Representatives, or (iv) is or has been independently developed by the Placement Agent and/or the Representatives without use
of any Confidential Information furnished to it by the Company. The term “Representatives” shall mean the Placement
Agent’s directors, board committees, officers, employees, financial advisors, attorneys and accountants. This provision shall be
in full force until the earlier of (a) the date that the Confidential Information ceases to be confidential and (b) two years from the
date hereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in the event that the Placement Agent or any of its Representatives are required by
Legal Requirement to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the Placement Agent and its Representatives will furnish only that
portion of the Confidential Information which the Placement Agent or its Representative, as applicable, is required to disclose by Legal
Requirement as advised by counsel, and will use reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded
the Confidential Information so disclosed.
SECTION 12. NOTICES.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and

ADDENDUM A
INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS
In connection with the engagement
of Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) by 1847 Holdings LLC
(the “Company”) pursuant to a placement agency agreement dated as of the date hereof, between the Company and the Placement
Agent, as it may be amended from time to time in writing (the “Agreement”), the Company hereby agrees as follows:
1. To
the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify the Placement Agent and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and controlling
persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
against all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities, as the same are incurred (including the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel), relating to or arising out of its activities hereunder or pursuant to the Agreement, except, with regard to the Placement Agent,
to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) are found in a final judgment
(not subject to appeal) by a court of law to have resulted primarily and directly from any indemnitee’s willful misconduct or gross
negligence.
2. Promptly
after receipt by the Placement Agent of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which the
Placement Agent is entitled to indemnity hereunder, the Placement Agent will notify the Company in writing of such claim or of the commencement
of such action or proceeding, and the Company will assume the defense of such action or proceeding and will employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Placement Agent and will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Placement
Agent will be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel for the Company and from any other party in such action if counsel for
the Placement Agent reasonably determines that it would be inappropriate under the applicable rules of professional responsibility for
the same counsel to represent both the Company and the Placement Agent. In such event, the reasonable fees and disbursements of no more
than one such separate counsel will be paid by the Company. The Company will have the exclusive right to settle the claim or proceeding
provided that the Company will not settle any such claim, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent,
which will not be unreasonably withheld. The Placement Agent and all other indemnitees shall not settle any claim, action or proceeding
without the prior written consent of the Company.
3. The
Company agrees to notify the Placement Agent promptly of the assertion against it or any other person of any claim or the commencement
of any action or proceeding relating to a transaction contemplated by the Agreement.
4. If
for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to the Placement Agent or insufficient to hold the Placement Agent harmless, then
the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Placement Agent, as the case may be, as a result of such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one
hand, and the Placement Agent on the other, but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the
other that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The amounts paid
or payable by a party in respect of losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or
other fees and expenses incurred in defending any litigation, proceeding or other action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions hereof,
the Placement Agent’s share of the liability hereunder shall not be in excess of the amount of fees actually received, or to be
received, by the Placement Agent under the Agreement (excluding any amounts received as reimbursement of expenses incurred by the Placement
Agent).
5. These
Indemnification Provisions shall remain in full force and effect whether or not the transaction contemplated by the Agreement is completed
and shall survive the termination of the Agreement, and shall be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have to
any indemnified party under the Agreement or otherwise.
EXHIBIT A
Form of Lock-Up Agreement
February 9, 2024
Spartan Capital Securities, LLC
45 Broadway, 19th Floor
New York, NY 10006
Re: | Placement of Common Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants to Purchase
Common Shares |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that you are the placement
agent (the “Placement Agent”) in the placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”)
to be entered into between 1847 Holdings LLC, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”),
and the Placement Agent, providing for the public offering, on a “reasonable best efforts” basis (the “Offering”)
of either (a) Common Shares (each, a “Share”) or (b) pre-funded warrants to subscribe for Common Shares (each a “Prefunded
Warrant”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2024, by and among the Company and the purchasers
signatory thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Common Shares underlying the Prefunded Warrants shall hereinafter
be referred to as the “Prefunded Warrant Shares”, and the Prefunded Warrant Shares and the Shares shall hereinafter
be referred to collectively as the “Securities.”
In consideration of the Placement Agent’s
agreement to enter into the Placement Agency Agreement and to proceed with the Offering, and for other good and valuable consideration,
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees, for the benefit of the Company (if applicable) and the Placement
Agent that, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, the undersigned will not, during the period commencing on the date
of this Lock-up Agreement and continuing and including the date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of the registration
statement on Form S-1, and any prospectus included therein (the “Registration Statement”), covering the offer and sale
of the Securities sold in the current Offering (the “Lock-Up Period”), unless otherwise provided herein, directly or
indirectly (a) offer, sell, agree to offer or sell, solicit offers to purchase, grant any call option or purchase any put option with
respect to, pledge, encumber, assign, borrow or otherwise dispose of (each a “Transfer”) any Relevant Security (as
defined below) or otherwise publicly disclose the intention to do so, or (b) establish or increase any “put equivalent position”
or liquidate or decrease any “call equivalent position” with respect to any Relevant Security (in each case within the meaning
of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations
thereunder) with respect to any Relevant Security or otherwise enter into any swap, derivative or other transaction or arrangement that
Transfers to another, in whole or in part, any economic consequence of ownership of a Relevant Security, whether or not such transaction
is to be settled by the delivery of Relevant Securities, other securities, cash or other consideration, with respect to the undersigned’s
holdings, or otherwise publicly disclose the intention to do so. As used herein, the term “Relevant Security” means
any Common Shares, any unit, any warrant to purchase Common Shares or any other security of the Company or any other entity that is convertible
into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Shares or any other equity security of the Company, in each case owned beneficially or
otherwise by the undersigned on the date of closing of the Offering or acquired by the undersigned during the Lock-Up Period.
The restrictions in the foregoing paragraph shall
not apply to: (a) any exercise (including a cashless exercise or broker-assisted exercise and payment of tax obligations), vesting or
settlement, as applicable, by the undersigned of options or warrants to purchase Common Shares or other equity awards pursuant to any
stock incentive plan or stock purchase plan of the Company; provided that any Common Shares received by the undersigned upon such exercise,
conversion or exchange will be subject to the Lock-Up Period, (b) any establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the
Exchange Act for the Transfer of Common Shares (a “Trading Plan”); provided that (i) the Trading Plan
shall not provide for or permit any Transfers, sales or other dispositions of Common Shares during the Lock-Up Period, and (ii) the Trading
Plan would not require any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and no such filing is voluntarily made, (c) any Transfer of
Common Shares acquired in open market transactions following the closing of the Offering, provided the Transfer would not require any
filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and no such filing is voluntarily made, (d) the Transfer of the undersigned’s Common
Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares to the Company in connection with the termination
of the undersigned’s employment with the Company or pursuant to contractual arrangements under which the Company has the option
to repurchase such shares, provided that no filing by any party under the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be made voluntarily
within 45 days after the date the undersigned ceases to provide services to the Company, and after such 45th day, if the undersigned
is required to file a report under the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Common Shares during the Lock-Up
Period, the undersigned shall indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to the termination of the undersigned’s
employment, and no other public announcement shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer (other than the filing on a Form
5 made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period), (e) the conversion of the outstanding securities into Common Shares, provided
that any such Common Shares received upon such conversion shall be subject to the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Lock-Up Agreement,
or (f) the Transfer of Common Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares pursuant to a bona
fide third-party tender offer for securities of the Company, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction that is approved by
the board of directors of the Company, made to all holders of Common Shares involving a change of control (as defined below), provided
that all of the undersigned’s Relevant Securities subject to this Lock-Up Agreement shall remain subject to the restrictions herein.
For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “change of control” means any bona fide third party tender offer, merger,
consolidation or other similar transaction, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, the result of which is that any “person”
(as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or group of affiliated persons, other than the Company, becomes the beneficial owner
(as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of the total voting power of the voting stock of the Company
(or the surviving entity).
In addition, the undersigned further agrees that,
except for any registration statement on Form S-8, during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent
of the Placement Agent: (a) file or participate in the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) any
registration statement or circulate or participate in the circulation of any preliminary or final prospectus or other disclosure document,
in each case with respect to any proposed offering or sale of a Relevant Security beneficially owned by the undersigned, or (b) exercise
any rights the undersigned may have to require registration with the SEC of any proposed offering or sale of a Relevant Security beneficially
owned by the undersigned.
In furtherance of the undersigned’s obligations
hereunder, the undersigned hereby authorizes the Company during the Lock-Up Period to cause the transfer agent for the Relevant Securities
to decline to Transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to, Relevant Securities
for which the undersigned is the record owner and the Transfer of which would be a violation of this Lock-Up Agreement and, in the case
of the Relevant Securities for which the undersigned is the beneficial owner but not the record owner, the undersigned agrees that during
the Lock-Up Period it will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the record owner to authorize the Company to cause the relevant transfer
agent to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to such Relevant
Securities to the extent such transfer would be a violation of this Lock-Up Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained
herein to the contrary, the undersigned may transfer the undersigned’s Relevant Securities:
| (i) | as a bona fide gift or gifts; |
| (ii) | to any immediate family member of the undersigned, or to any trust, partnership, limited liability company
or other legal entity commonly used for estate planning purposes which is established for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned
or a member or members of the immediate family of the undersigned; |
| (iii) | if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity,
(1) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is a direct or indirect Affiliate
(as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the undersigned, (2) to partners, limited liability company members
or stockholders of the undersigned or holders of similar equity interests in the undersigned, or (3) in connection with a sale, merger
or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the undersigned or any other change of control of the undersigned, not undertaken
for the purpose of avoiding the restrictions imposed by this Lock-Up Agreement; |
| (iv) | if the undersigned is a trust, to the trustee or beneficiary of such trust or to the estate of a beneficiary
of such trust; |
| (v) | by testate or intestate succession; |
| (vi) | by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement; |
| (vii) | the withholder of Common Shares by, or surrender of Common Shares to, the Company pursuant to a “net”
or “cashless” exercise or settlement feature to cover taxes due upon or the consideration required in connection with the
exercise of securities issued under an equity incentive plan or stock purchase plan of the Company; or |
| (viii) | to a charity or educational institution. |
provided, in the case of clauses (i)-(vi),
that (A) such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (B) the transferee agrees in writing with the Placement Agent and
the Company to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement, and (C) such transfer would not require any filing under Section 16(a)
of the Exchange Act and no such filing is voluntarily made.
For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate
family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.
If the undersigned is an officer or director of
the Company, (i) the Placement Agent agrees that, at least three business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the
foregoing restrictions in connection with a Transfer of Common Shares, the Placement Agent will notify the Company of the impending release
or waiver and (ii) the Company will announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two
business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by the Placement Agent hereunder to any
such officer or director shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of
this paragraph will not apply if: (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration, and (b) the
transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Lock-Up Agreement to the extent and for the duration
that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.
The undersigned, whether or not participating
in the Offering, understands that the Placement Agent is entering into the Placement Agency Agreement and proceeding with the Offering
in reliance upon this Lock-Up Agreement.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants
that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement and that this Lock-Up Agreement has been duly authorized
(if the undersigned is not a natural person) and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the undersigned, enforceable in
accordance with its terms. Upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional documents necessary in connection with the enforcement
hereof. Any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the undersigned from the date of this Lock-Up
Agreement.
The undersigned understands that, if the Placement
Agency Agreement is not executed within 30 days of the date hereof, or if the Placement Agency Agreement (other than the provisions thereof
which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Securities to be sold thereunder,
then this Lock-Up Agreement shall be void and of no further force or effect.
This Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by and

Exhibit 4.1
PRE-FUNDED COMMON SHARE PURCHASE WARRANT
1847 HOLDINGS LLC
Warrant Shares: __________ |
Initial Exercise Date: February 14, 2024 |
This PRE-FUNDED COMMON SHARE
PURCHASE WARRANT (this “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
February 14, 2024 (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and until this Warrant is exercised in full (the “Termination
Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from 1847 Holdings LLC, a limited liability company formed under the
laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), up to ______ Common Shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the
“Warrant Shares”). The purchase price of one Common Share under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price,
as defined in Section 2(b).
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated February
9, 2024, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
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 to the Company 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 to the Holder 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 aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except for a nominal exercise price of $0.01 per Warrant Share, was pre-funded to the Company
on or prior to the Initial Exercise Date and, consequently, no additional consideration (other than the nominal exercise price of $0.01
per Warrant Share) shall be required to be paid by the Holder to any Person to effect any exercise of this Warrant. The Holder shall not
be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-paid aggregate exercise price under any circumstance or for any
reason whatsoever, including in the event this Warrant shall not have been exercised prior to the Termination Date. The remaining unpaid
exercise price per Common Share under this Warrant shall be shall be $0.01 (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) 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
Shares on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) 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;
(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.
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 registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. The Company agrees not to take any position
contrary to this Section 2(c).
“Bid Price”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Shares are then listed
or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Shares for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading
Market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (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 Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Shares are not then listed
or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Shares 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 Shares so reported, or (d)
in all other cases, the fair market value of a Common Share as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers
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 Shares are then listed
or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Share for such date (or the nearest preceding date)
on the Trading Market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (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 Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Shares are
not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Shares 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 Common Share so reported,
or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a s Common Share as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith
by the Purchasers 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.
(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 Holder
or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, 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 within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading
Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. 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 Shares 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 the Warrant Share Delivery Date) 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
Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Notice(s) of
Exercise delivered on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date, which may be delivered at any time after
the time of execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver the Warrant Shares subject to such notice(s) by 4:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date and the Initial Exercise Date shall be the Warrant Share Delivery Date for purposes
hereunder, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by such Warrant
Share Delivery Date.
(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, 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 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, Common
Shares 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 Common Shares 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 Common Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely
complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Shares having a total purchase
price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise Common Shares 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 the Common Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant
to the terms hereof.
(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 shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant
to the terms hereof.
(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 Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of
Common Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised 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 non-converted portion
of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Share 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 Common Shares, a Holder may rely on the
number of outstanding Common Shares 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 Common Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one
Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding
Common Shares 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 Common Shares was reported.
The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving
effect to the issuance of Common Shares 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 Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares
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) Share Dividends and
Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution
or distributions on its Common Shares, (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including
by way of reverse split) outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of the Common Shares
any shares 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 Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall
be the number of Common Shares 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 shareholders 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 (but without duplication of) any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants,
issues or sells any Common Share Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record
holders of the Common Shares (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 Common
Shares 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 Common Shares 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 Common Shares 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).
(c) Pro Rata Distributions.
During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets
(or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation,
any distribution of cash, 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 Common Shares 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 Common Shares
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 Common Shares 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 or any Subsidiary, 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 Shares 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 Shares, (iv) the Company,
directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common
Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are 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 Common
Shares or becomes the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding common shares (not including any Common
Shares 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 Common Shares 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 Common Shares 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 Common Share 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 Shares 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the
event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable
at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the
public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount
of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation
of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s
control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company
or any Successor Entity, as of the date of consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the same type or form of consideration (and in
the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders
of Common Shares of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock
or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Shares are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration
in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Shares of the Company
are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Shares will be deemed to have received
common stock of the Successor Entity (which Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction.
“Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from
the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing
purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the
date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to
the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization
factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying
price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus
the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the greater of (x) the last VWAP
immediately prior to the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction and (y) the last VWAP immediately prior to the consummation
of such Fundamental Transaction, and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the
applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will
be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within the later of (i) five Business Days of the
Holder’s election and (ii) the date of consummation of the 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(d) 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 Common Shares 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 Common Shares 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.

substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Shares are 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
Shares 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 Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares 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.
(g) Voluntary Adjustment
By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant,
subject to the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed
appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Section 4. Transfer of
Warrant.
(a) Transferability.
This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part,
upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, 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.
(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 initial issuance 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 its records 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.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Rights as Shareholder
Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as
a shareholder 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 any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c)
or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required
to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
(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, 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 Shares
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 Shares 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 non-assessable 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 formation 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 non-assessable
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. 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) Non-waiver 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. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, 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 in accordance
with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(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 Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
(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 amended with the consent of Holders of Pre-Funded Warrants entitled, upon exercise thereof, to receive not less than a
majority of the Common Shares issuable thereunder; provided, however, that no modification of the terms upon which the Pre-Funded Warrants
are exercisable or the rights of holders of Pre-Funded Warrants to receive liquidated damages or other payments in cash from the Company
or reducing the percentage required for amendments to this Warrant may be made without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Pre-Funded
Warrant affected thereby.
(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.

PURCHASE AND SALE
2.1 Closing.
On the Closing Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, substantially concurrent with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement by the parties hereto, the Company agrees to sell, and the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agree to purchase,
up to an aggregate of $5,000,000 of Common Shares determined pursuant to Section 2.2(a); provided, however,
that, to the extent that a Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that such Purchaser (together with such Purchaser’s Affiliates,
and any Person acting as a group together with such purchaser or any of such Purchaser’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess
of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, or as such Purchaser may otherwise choose, in lieu of purchasing Common Shares such Purchaser
may elect to purchase Pre-Funded Warrants at the Pre-Funded Warrant Purchase Price in lieu of Common Shares. The “Beneficial
Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, at the election of the Purchaser at Closing, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the
Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Securities on the Closing Date. Unless otherwise directed
by the Placement Agent, each Purchaser’s Subscription Amount as set forth on the signature page hereto executed by such Purchaser
shall be made available for “Delivery Versus Payment” settlement with the Company or its designee. The Company shall deliver
to each Purchaser its respective Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants (as applicable to such purchaser), as determined pursuant to Section
2.2(a), and the Company and each Purchaser shall deliver the other items set forth in Section 2.2 deliverable at the Closing.
Upon satisfaction of the covenants and conditions set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3, the Closing shall occur remotely by
electronic transfer of the Closing documentation. Unless otherwise directed by the Placement Agent, settlement of the Shares shall occur
via Delivery Versus Payment (“DVP”) (i.e., on the Closing Date, the Company shall issue the Shares registered in the
Purchasers’ names and addresses and released by the Transfer Agent directly to the account(s) at the Placement Agent identified
by each Purchaser; upon receipt of such Shares, the Placement Agent shall promptly electronically deliver such Shares to the applicable
Purchaser, and payment therefor shall be made by the Placement Agent (or its clearing firm) by wire transfer to the Company). Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if at any time on or after the time of execution of this Agreement by the Company and an applicable Purchaser,
through and including the time immediately prior to the Closing (the “Pre-Settlement Period”), such Purchaser sells
to any Person all, or any portion, of the Shares to be issued hereunder to such Purchaser at the Closing (collectively, the “Pre-Settlement
Shares”), such Purchaser shall, automatically hereunder (without any additional required actions by such Purchaser or the Company),
be deemed to be unconditionally bound to purchase such Pre-Settlement Shares at the Closing; provided, that the Company shall not
be required to deliver any Pre-Settlement Shares to such Purchaser prior to the Company’s receipt of the purchase price of such
Pre-Settlement Shares hereunder; and provided further that the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the forgoing shall not constitute
a representation or covenant by such Purchaser as to whether or not during the Pre-Settlement Period such Purchaser shall sell any Common
Shares to any Person and that any such decision to sell any Common Shares by such Purchaser shall solely be made at the time such Purchaser
elects to effect any such sale, if any. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and a Purchaser’s Subscription Amount set
forth on the signature pages attached hereto, the number of Shares purchased by a Purchaser (and its Affiliates) hereunder shall not,
when aggregated with all other Common Shares owned by such Purchaser (and its Affiliates) at such time, result in such Purchaser beneficially
owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) in excess of 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding Common
Shares outstanding at the Closing (the “Beneficial Ownership Maximum”), and such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount,
to the extent it would otherwise exceed the Beneficial Ownership Maximum immediately prior to the Closing, shall be conditioned upon the
issuance of Shares at the Closing to the other Purchasers signatory hereto. To the extent that a Purchaser’s beneficial ownership
of the Shares would otherwise be deemed to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Maximum, such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount shall automatically
be reduced as necessary in order to comply with this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Notice(s) of Exercise
(as defined in the Pre-Funded Warrants) delivered on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date, which may be delivered
at any time after the time of execution of the this Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares subject to
such notice(s) by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date and the Closing Date shall be the Warrant Share Delivery Date (as
defined in the Pre-Funded Warrants) for purposes hereunder.
2.2 Deliveries.
(a) On
or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to each Purchaser the following:
(i) this
Agreement duly executed by the Company;
(ii) a
legal opinion of Company Counsel (including, without limitation, a negative assurance letter), directed to the Placement Agent and the
Purchasers, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Placement Agent and Purchasers;

each Purchaser;

(a) Subsidiaries.
All of the Subsidiaries of the Company and their respective jurisdictions of incorporation or organization are set forth on Schedule

own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in
violation nor default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational
or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign
corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification
necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected
to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a material adverse
effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis
its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”) and no Proceeding
has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority
or qualification.
(c) Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated

transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further
action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s shareholders in connection herewith or therewith other
than in connection with the Required Approvals. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party has been (or
upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when duly executed by the Purchaser and delivered in accordance with the
terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance

is a party, the issuance and sale of the Securities and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do
not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of

a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property
or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in

or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not,
individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) Filings,
Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to,
or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other Person in connection

Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed by the Company. The Pre-Funded

for that purpose have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company, are threatened by the Commission. The Company, if required
by the rules and regulations of the Commission, shall file the Prospectus with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b). At the time the
Registration Statement and any amendments thereto became effective, at the date of this Agreement and at the Closing Date, the Registration
Statement and any amendments thereto conformed and will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and
did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements
thereto, at the time the Pricing Prospectus, Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, as applicable was issued and at the Closing

under the Company’s stock option plans, the issuance of Common Shares to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee stock
purchase plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of Common Share Equivalents outstanding as of the date of the most recently
filed periodic report under the Exchange Act. No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any
similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(g)
and as a result of the purchase and sale of the Securities, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to,
calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any Common Shares, or contracts, commitments, understandings
or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents. Except as set
forth on Schedule 3.1(g), the issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue
Common Shares or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities
to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(g)
or the SEC Reports, there are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company that contain any redemption or similar provisions,
and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become
bound to redeem a security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company does not have any stock appreciation rights or “phantom
stock” plans or agreements or any similar plan or agreement. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and
none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.
No further approval or authorization of any shareholder, the Board of Directors or others is required for the issuance and sale of the
Securities. There are no shareholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Company’s capital
stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the Company’s shareholders.
(h) SEC
Reports; Financial Statements. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be
filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two
years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law or regulation to file such material) (the foregoing
materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, together with the Pricing Prospectus and the
Prospectus, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”). As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports
complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC
Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The
Company has never been an issuer subject to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act. The financial statements of the Company included in
the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission
with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except
as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not
contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the
case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments. The agreements and documents described in the Registration
Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, and the SEC Reports conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained
therein and there are no agreements or other documents required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder to be described
in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus or the SEC Reports or to be filed with the Commission as exhibits
to the Registration Statement, that have not been so described or filed. Each agreement or other instrument (however characterized or
described) to which the Company is a party or by which it is or may be bound or affected and (i) that is referred to in the Registration
Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus or the SEC Reports, or (ii) is material to the Company’s business, has been duly
authorized and validly executed by the Company, is in full force and effect in all material respects and is enforceable against the Company
and, to the Company’s knowledge, the other parties thereto, in accordance with its terms, except (x) as such enforceability may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (y) as enforceability
of any indemnification or contribution provision may be limited under the federal and state securities laws, and (z) that the remedy of
specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion
of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought. None of such agreements or instruments has been assigned by the Company,
and the Company is not in default thereunder and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, no event has occurred that, with the lapse
of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, performance
by the Company of the material provisions of such agreements or instruments will not result in a violation of any existing applicable
law or order or decree of any governmental authority or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its
assets or businesses, including, without limitation, those relating to environmental laws and regulations.
(i) Material
Changes; Undisclosed Events, Liabilities or Developments. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within
the SEC Reports, and except as set forth in the SEC reports, (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development that has had or that

to existing Company stock option plans. The Company does not have pending before the Commission any request for confidential treatment
of information. Except for the issuance of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement, no event, liability, fact, circumstance, occurrence
or development has occurred or exists or is reasonably expected to occur or exist with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their
respective businesses, prospects, properties, operations, assets or financial condition that would be required to be disclosed by the
Company under applicable securities laws at the time this representation is made or deemed made that has not been publicly disclosed at
least 1 Trading Day prior to the date that this representation is made.
(j) Litigation.
Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, there is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending or,
to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before
or by any court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign)
(collectively, an “Action”) which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any
of the Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) could, if there were an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any director or officer
thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws
or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty. To the knowledge of the Company, there has not been, and there is not pending or contemplated,
any investigation by the Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer of the Company. The Commission
has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary
under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.

nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relationships
with their employees are good. To the knowledge of the Company, no executive officer of the Company or any Subsidiary, is, or is now expected
to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement
or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued
employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any
of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and
regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the
failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(l) Compliance.

that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the Company or
any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement
or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default
or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree or order of any court, arbitrator or other governmental authority
or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation

and safety and employment and labor matters, except in each case as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws relating
to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface
strata), including laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or
toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating
to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well
as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands, or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders,
permits, plans or regulations, issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder (“Environmental Laws”); (ii) have
received all permits licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses;
and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where in each clause (i), (ii) and (iii),
the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Regulatory
Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except
where the failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material
Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification
of any Material Permit.
(o) Title
to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them and good
and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each
case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries and (ii) Liens for the payment of federal,
state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in accordance with GAAP and, the payment of which is neither
delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by
them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance.
(p) Intellectual
Property. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications,
service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights
necessary or required for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure to
so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). None of, and neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired,
terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC
Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the
rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the
Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual
Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and
value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has no knowledge of any facts that would preclude it from having valid license
rights or clear title to the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company has no knowledge that it lacks or will be unable to obtain any
rights or licenses to use all Intellectual Property Rights that are necessary to conduct its business.
(q) Insurance.
The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such
amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including, but not limited
to, directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to $2,500,000. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe
that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from
similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in cost.
(r) Transactions
With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary

arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, providing
for the borrowing of money from or lending of money to or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee

or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii) other employee benefits,
including stock option agreements under any stock option plan of the Company.

Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with any and all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated
by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain
a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance
with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed such
disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules
and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company
and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date,
the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the
conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as
of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as such
term is defined in the Exchange Act) of the Company and its Subsidiaries that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
(t) Certain

or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company or any Subsidiary to any broker, financial advisor or consultant,
finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
The Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for
fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
(u) Investment
Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will not be
or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company
shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become an “investment company” subject to registration under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(v) Registration
Rights. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(v), no Person has any right to cause the Company or any Subsidiary to effect the
registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company or any Subsidiary.
(w) Listing
and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company
has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common
Shares under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration.
Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading
Market on which the Common Shares are or have been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing
or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company is, and has no reason to believe
that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The Common
Shares are currently eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation
and the Company is current in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in
connection with such electronic transfer.
(x) Application
of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable
any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar
anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of formation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of
formation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations
or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of
the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.
(y) Disclosure.
Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms
that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information
that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information which is not otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus.
The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities
of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries,
their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement and the SEC
Reports, is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary
in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The press
releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole with the SEC Reports
do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading. The
Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.
(z) No
Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2,
neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers
or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities
to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would require the registration of any
such Securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on which any of
the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(aa) Solvency.
Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company
of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount
that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent
liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as
now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the
business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current
cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into
account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts
are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account
the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances
which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction
within one year from the Closing Date. The SEC Reports set forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness
of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness”
means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary
course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or
not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by
endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the
present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.
(bb) Tax Status.
Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local income and all foreign income and
franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has paid all taxes and other
governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations
and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all material taxes for periods subsequent to the
periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the
taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim. The provisions
for taxes payable, if any, shown on the financial statements filed with or as part of the Registration Statement are sufficient for all
accrued and unpaid taxes, whether or not disputed, and for all periods to and including the dates of such consolidated financial statements.
The term “taxes” mean all federal, state, local, foreign, and other net income, gross income, gross receipts, sales, use,
ad valorem, transfer, franchise, profits, license, lease, service, service use, withholding, payroll, employment, excise, severance, stamp,
occupation, premium, property, windfall profits, customs, duties or other taxes, fees, assessments, or charges of any kind whatsoever,
together with any interest and any penalties, additions to tax, or additional amounts with respect thereto. The term “returns”
means all returns, declarations, reports, statements, and other documents required to be filed in respect to taxes.
(cc) Foreign
Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any agent or other
person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts,
entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign
or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii)
failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the
Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of FCPA.
(dd) Accountants.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC and Frank, Rimerman + Co. LLP
for one of its Subsidiaries. To the knowledge and belief of the Company, such accounting firms (i) are registered public accounting firm
as required by the Exchange Act and (ii) shall express their opinion with respect to the financial statements to be included in the Company’s
Annual Report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
(ee) Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely
in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby.
The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity)
with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their
respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely
incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s
decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions
contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.
(ff) Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except
for Sections 3.2(f) and 4.14 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged by the Company that: (i) none of the Purchasers has been
asked by the Company to agree, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the
Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified
term; (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales
or “derivative” transactions, before or after the closing of this or future private placement transactions, may negatively
impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities; (iii) any Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative”
transactions to which any such Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the
Common Shares, and (iv) each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party
in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers
may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation,
during the periods that the value of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z)
such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing shareholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after
the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not
constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.
(gg) Regulation
M Compliance. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action
designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale
or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or, paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities,

or any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice, warning letter or other communication from the FDA or any other governmental entity,

3.2 Representations
and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as of the
date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case they shall be accurate
as of such date):
(a) Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company
or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise
to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such
Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership,
limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a
party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute
the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited
by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable
law.
(b) Understandings
or Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement
or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this representation and warranty
not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
(c) Purchaser
Status. On each date that the Purchaser exercises its Pre-Funded Warrants for cash, it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor”
as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), (a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12), or (a)(13) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified
institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.
(d) Experience
of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience
in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities,
and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e) Access
to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits
and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary
of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities
and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results
of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity
to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary
to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Placement
Agent nor any Affiliate of the Placement Agent has provided such Purchaser with any information or advice with respect to the Securities
nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. Neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate has made or makes any representation
as to the Company or the quality of the Securities and the Placement Agent and any Affiliate may have acquired non-public information
with respect to the Company which such Purchaser agrees need not be provided to it. In connection with the issuance of the Securities
to such Purchaser, neither the Placement Agent nor any of its Affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to such Purchaser.
(f) Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has
any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or
sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first
received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms
of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s
assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions
of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by
the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons
party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners,
legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made
to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for
the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect
to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
The Company acknowledges and
agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to
rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained
in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein
shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect
Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

hereof the Registration Statement (or any subsequent registration statement registering the sale or resale of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares)
is not effective or is not otherwise available for the sale or resale of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly notify
the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants in writing that such registration statement is not then effective and thereafter shall promptly
notify such holders when the registration statement is effective again and available for the sale or resale of the Pre-Funded Warrant

any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents,
employees, Affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers or any
of their Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to the subject matter of such
press release. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions
in securities of the Company. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make
any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the
prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or
delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with
prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name
of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without
the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction
Documents with the Commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the
Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b) and reasonably cooperate with
such Purchaser regarding such disclosure.
4.5 Shareholder
Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser
is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution
under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser
could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents
or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.

information and agreed in writing with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each
Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company,
any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates delivers any material, non-public
information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not
have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates
or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, not to trade on the basis of,
such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice
provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any
Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously with the delivery of such notice file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current
Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions
in securities of the Company.

holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners
or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such

liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court
costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of
or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement
or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their
respective Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a material breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations,
warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such
shareholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which
is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct). If any action shall be brought against
any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify
the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably
acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate
in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent
that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable
period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a
material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the
Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable
to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage
or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section
4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills
are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of
any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
4.9 Reservation
of Common Shares. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at
all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of Common Shares for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant
to this Agreement and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants.
4.10 Listing
of Common Shares. The Company hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Shares
on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all
of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares and Pre-Funded
Warrant Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Shares traded on any other
Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, and will take such other action
as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly
as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Shares on a
Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules
of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Shares for electronic transfer through the Depository
Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository
Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
4.11 Subsequent
Equity Sales.
(a) From
the date hereof until ninety days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (i) issue, enter into any agreement
to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents or (ii) file any registration
statement or amendment or supplement thereto, other than the Prospectus or filing a registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with
any employee benefit plan and the filing of a registration statement for a public offering that names the Placement Agent as underwriter
or placement agent for the offering covered thereby.
(b) From
the date hereof until the one (1) year anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into
an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company of Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents (or a combination thereof) involving a
Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells
any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional Common
Shares either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading
prices of or quotations for the Common Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a
conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity
security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the
market for the Common Shares or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity
line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive
relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages, provided
however, that at-the-market (ATM) equity offerings shall not be included in the definition of Variable Rate Transactions.
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall
be an Exempt Issuance.
4.12 Equal
Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of this Agreement) shall be offered or paid to any Person to
amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration is also offered to all of
the parties to this Agreement. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the
Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not
in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities
or otherwise.
4.13 Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor
any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales
of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section
4.4. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, such
Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Disclosure
Schedules (other than as disclosed to its legal and other representatives). Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation,
warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section
4.4, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance
with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced
pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality
or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, Affiliates, or agent, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, after the issuance of the initial press release as
described in Section 4.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle
whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct
knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant
set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision
to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
4.14 Exercise
Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Pre-Funded Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures required of
the Purchasers in order to exercise the Pre-Funded Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required
of the Purchasers to exercise their Pre-Funded Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, 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 form be required
in order to exercise the Pre-Funded Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Pre-Funded Warrants and shall deliver Pre-Funded
Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.
4.15 Lock-Up
Agreements. The Company shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any of the Lock-Up Agreements except to extend
the term of the lock-up period and shall enforce the provisions of each Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with its terms. If any party to
a Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Lock-Up Agreement, the Company shall promptly use its best efforts to seek specific performance
of the terms of such Lock-Up Agreement.
ARTICLE V.
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever
on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated
on or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date hereof; provided, however, that no such termination
will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).
5.2 Fees
and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses
of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation,

limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any exercise notice delivered
by a Purchaser), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.
5.3 Entire
Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus,
contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements
and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents,
exhibits and schedules.

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

5.5 Amendments;
Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in
the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchasers which purchased at least 50.1% in interest of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants
based on the initial Subscription Amounts hereunder (or, prior to the Closing, the Company and each Purchaser) or, in the case of a waiver,
by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought, provided that if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately
and adversely impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of at least 50.1% in interest of such disproportionately impacted
Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) shall also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement
of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other
provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner
impair the exercise of any such right. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the
rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior
written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding
upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities and the Company.
5.6 Headings.
The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.
5.7 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other
than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or
transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by
the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”
5.8 No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Placement Agent shall be the third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of the Company
in Section 3.1 and the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2. This Agreement is intended for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision
hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.8 and this Section 5.8.
5.9 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed
by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts
of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates,
directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts
sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting
in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such
court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered
or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this
Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action
or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section
4.8, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’
fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.
5.10 Survival.
The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
5.11 Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that
the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf”
format data file (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 200, Uniform Electronic Transaction Act,
the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com), such signature shall create a valid and binding
obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf”
signature page were an original thereof.
5.12 Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force
and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts
to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.13 Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of
the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and
the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw,
in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part
without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of a rescission of an exercise
of a Pre-Funded Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any Common Shares subject to any such rescinded exercise
notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration
of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Pre-Funded Warrant (including, issuance of a
replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).
5.14 Replacement
of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall
issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of
and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable
third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15 Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers
and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may
not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby
agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would
be adequate.
5.16 Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser
enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required
to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without
limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.17 Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and
not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance
of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document,
and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association,
a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction
Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.
Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For
reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through
the legal counsel of the Placement Agent. The legal counsel of the Placement Agent does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents
the Placement Agent. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience
of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that
each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and
not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.18 Liquidated
Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents
is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been
paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due
and payable shall have been canceled.
5.19 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.
5.20 Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents
and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall
not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to
share prices and Common Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock
dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement.
5.21 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH
KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY
WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

1847 Holdings LLC Announces
Pricing of Approximately $5.0 Million Public Offering
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / February 9,
2024 / 1847 Holdings LLC (NYSE American:EFSH) ("1847 Holdings" or the "Company"), a unique holding company that
combines the attractive attributes of owning private, lower-middle market businesses with the liquidity and transparency of a publicly
traded company, announced today the pricing of its "reasonable best efforts" public offering of securities for gross proceeds
of $5.0 million, prior to deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company.
The public offering is comprised of 5,000,000
common shares and/or pre-funded warrants in lieu of shares, priced at a public offering price of $1.00 for one common share or pre-funded
warrant. The pre-funded warrants are issuable to purchasers in lieu of common shares that would otherwise result in such purchaser's beneficial
ownership exceeding 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the Company's outstanding common shares, if any such purchaser
so chooses. Each pre-funded warrant is exercisable at any time to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The
closing of the public offering is expected to occur on or about February 13, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Spartan Capital Securities, LLC is acting
as the sole placement agent in connection with the offering.
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
declared effective a registration statement on Form S-1 relating to these securities on February 9, 2024. A final prospectus relating
to and describing the terms of the offering will be filed with the SEC and will be available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.
The offering is being made only by means of a prospectus, copies of which may be obtained, when available, from: Spartan Capital Securities,
LLC, 45 Broadway, New York, NY 10006, at (212) 293-0123.
This press release shall not constitute an
offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which
such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state
or jurisdiction.
About 1847 Holdings
1847 Holdings LLC (NYSE American:EFSH), a
publicly traded diversified acquisition holding company, was founded by Ellery W. Roberts, a former partner of Parallel Investment Partners,
Saunders Karp & Megrue, and former Principal of Lazard Freres Strategic Realty Investors. 1847 Holdings' investment thesis is that
capital market inefficiencies have left the founders and/or stakeholders of many small business enterprises or lower-middle market businesses
with limited exit options despite the intrinsic value of their business. Given this dynamic, 1847 Holdings can consistently acquire businesses
it views as "solid" for reasonable multiples of cash flow and then deploy resources to strengthen the infrastructure and systems
of those businesses in order to improve operations. These improvements may lead to a sale or IPO of an operating subsidiary at higher
valuations than the purchase price and/or alternatively, an operating subsidiary may be held in perpetuity and contribute to 1847 Holdings'
ability to pay regular and special dividends to shareholders. For more information, visit www.1847holdings.com.
