Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Closing of Acquisition
As previously disclosed, on November 4, 2024,
1847 CMD Inc. (“1847 CMD”), a wholly owned subsidiary of 1847 Holdings LLC (the “Company”), entered
into a stock and membership interest purchase agreement with Christopher M. Day (the “Initial Agreement”), which was
amended and restated on December 5, 2024 and further amended on December 13, 2024 and December 16, 2024 (as so amended, the “CMD
Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the CMD Purchase Agreement, 1847 CMD agreed to acquire (the “Acquisition”),
all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CMD Inc., a Nevada corporation (“CMD”), and all of the membership
interests of CMD Finish Carpentry LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Finish” and together with CMD, the “CMD
Companies”), from The CD Trust, dated October 18, 2021 (the “Seller”).
On December 16, 2024, closing of the transactions
contemplated by the CMD Purchase Agreement was completed. Pursuant to the CMD Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the CMD Companies
for an aggregate purchase price of $18,750,000, consisting of $17,750,000 in cash (subject to adjustments) and $1,000,000 of a promissory
note in the principal amount of $1,050,000 (collectively, the “Purchase Price”), the remaining $50,000 of which is
allocated for Seller’s expenses. The Company also paid $25,000 in cash at the closing to be applied towards the Seller’s legal
fees. Upon the execution of the Initial Purchase Agreement, the Company also paid the Seller a deposit of $1,000,000, which was not applied
to the Purchase Price at closing since the closing did not occur prior to December 3, 2024, as originally required by the CMD Purchase
Agreement.
The Purchase Price is
subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment provision. Under this provision, the Seller delivered to 1847 CMD at the closing
an unaudited balance sheet of the CMD Companies as of December 12, 2024 (the “Preliminary Balance Sheet”). On or before
the 75th day following the closing, 1847 CMD must deliver to the Seller an audited balance sheet of the CMD Companies as of December
12, 2024 (the “Final Balance Sheet”). If the final net working capital reflected in the Final Balance Sheet exceeds
the estimated net working capital reflected in the Preliminary Balance Sheet, 1847 CMD must issue to the Seller a promissory note in the
principal amount equal to such excess. If the estimated net working capital reflected in the Preliminary Balance Sheet exceeds the final
net working capital reflected in the Final Balance Sheet, the Seller must, within thirty (30) days, pay to 1847 CMD an amount in cash
equal to such excess.
As noted above, a portion of the Purchase Price
was paid by the issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,050,000 by 1847 CMD to the Seller (the “Note”).
The Note is due and payable on February 16, 2025 and does not bear interest; provided that upon a default, as described in the Note, interest
shall accrue at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum until such default is cured. Additionally, if any payment of principal or interest
is past due by five (5) days or more, a late fee will be due in an amount equal to 7.5% of the payment due. Subject to the rights of the
Senior Lenders (as defined below), the Note is secured by all of the assets of 1847 CMD and the CMD Companies, pursuant to a security
agreement, dated December 16, 2024, among 1847 CMD, the CMD Companies and the Seller (the “Security Agreement”), a
pledge agreement, dated December 16, 2024, between the Company and the Seller relating to the equity interests of 1847 CMD (the “1847
CMD Pledge Agreement”), and a pledge agreement, dated December 16, 2024, between 1847 CMD and the Seller relating to the equity
interests of the CMD Companies (the “CMD Pledge Agreement”). The Note is also guaranteed by the Company and the CMD
Companies, pursuant to a Guaranty, dated December 16, 2024, by the Company and the CMD Companies in favor of the Seller (the “Guaranty”).
On December 16, 2024, 1847 CMD also entered into
a lease agreement with Delancey LLC (the “Delancey Lease”) relating to the properties leased by the CMD Companies prior
to the Acquisition located at 4485 Delancey Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89103 and 4495 Delancey Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89103 (collectively,
the “Delancy Property”). The Delancey Lease provides for a base rent of $20,000 per month, which shall increase annually
by an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the previous year’s base rent. In addition, 1847 CMD will be responsible for all taxes,
insurance and certain operating costs during the lease term. Further, in the event that the mortgage lender on the Delancy Property
calls the mortgage loan due to the change in tenant and Delancy LLC is required to refinance the Delancy Property, the Company agreed
to pay the costs associated with such refinancing, and the increase in the monthly mortgage payments resulting from such refinancing,
if any, will be added to the base rent. The Delancey Lease expires on December 31, 2029; provided that the term may be extended for two
(2) additional five (5) year periods.
On December 16, 2024, 1847 CMD also entered into
a lease agreement with CD Gowan LLC (the “Gowan Lease”) relating to the property leased by the CMD Companies prior
to the Acquisition located at 2421 East Gowan Road, North Las Vegas, Nevada 89030 (the Gowan Property”). The Gowan Lease
provides for a base rent of $15,000 per month, which shall increase annually by an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the previous
year’s base rent. In addition, 1847 CMD will be responsible for all taxes, insurance and certain operating costs during the lease
term. Further, in the event that the mortgage lender on the Gowan Property calls the mortgage loan due to the change in tenant and
CD Gowan LLC is required to refinance the Gowan Property, the Company agreed to pay the costs associated with such refinancing, and the
increase in the monthly mortgage payments resulting from such refinancing, if any, will be added to the base rent. The Gowan Lease expires
on December 31, 2029; provided that the term may be extended for two (2) additional five (5) year periods.
The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions
of the CMD Purchase Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement, the 1847 CMD
Pledge Agreement, the CMD Pledge Agreement, the Guaranty, the Delancey Lease and the Gowan Lease does not purport to be complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of those documents attached as Exhibits hereto, which are incorporated
herein by reference.
Management Services Agreement
On December 16, 2024, 1847 CMD entered into a
management services agreement (the “Offsetting MSA”) with the Company’s manager, 1847 Partners LLC (the “Manager”).
The MSA is an offsetting management services agreement as defined in that certain management services agreement, dated April 15, 2013,
between the Company and the Manager, as amended (the “MSA”).
Pursuant to the Offsetting MSA, 1847 CMD appointed
the Manager to provide certain services to it for a quarterly management fee equal to the greater of $75,000 or 2% of adjusted net assets
(as defined in the MSA) (the “Management Fee”); provided, however, that (i) pro-rated payments shall be made in the
first quarter and the last quarter of the term, (ii) if the aggregate amount of management fees paid or to be paid by 1847 CMD, together
with all other management fees paid or to be paid by all other subsidiaries of the Company to the Manager, in each case, with respect
to any fiscal year exceeds, or is expected to exceed, 9.5% of the Company’s gross income with respect to such fiscal year, then
the Management Fee to be paid by 1847 CMD for any remaining fiscal quarters in such fiscal year shall be reduced, on a pro rata basis
determined by reference to the management fees to be paid to the Manager by all of the subsidiaries of the Company, until the aggregate
amount of the Management Fee paid or to be paid by 1847 CMD, together with all other management fees paid or to be paid by all other subsidiaries
of the Company to the Manager, in each case, with respect to such fiscal year, does not exceed 9.5% of the Company’s gross income
with respect to such fiscal year, and (iii) if the aggregate amount the Management Fee paid or to be paid by 1847 CMD, together with all
other management fees paid or to be paid by all other subsidiaries of the Company to the Manager, in each case, with respect to any fiscal
quarter exceeds, or is expected to exceed, the aggregate amount of the management fee (before any adjustment thereto) calculated and payable
under the MSA (the “Parent Management Fee”) with respect to such fiscal quarter, then the Management Fee to be paid
by 1847 CMD for such fiscal quarter shall be reduced, on a pro rata basis, until the aggregate amount of the Management Fee paid or to
be paid by 1847 CMD, together with all other management fees paid or to be paid by all other subsidiaries of the Company to the Manager,
in each case, with respect to such fiscal quarter, does not exceed the Parent Management Fee calculated and payable with respect to such
fiscal quarter. 1847 CMD shall also reimburse the Manager for all costs and expenses of 1847 CMD which are specifically approved by the
board of directors of 1847 CMD, including all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, that are actually incurred by the Manager or its affiliates
on behalf of 1847 CMD in connection with performing services under the Offsetting MSA.
The services provided by the Manager include conducting
general and administrative supervision and oversight of 1847 CMD’s day-to-day business and operations, including, but not limited
to, recruiting and hiring of personnel, administration of personnel and personnel benefits, development of administrative policies and
procedures, establishment and management of banking services, managing and arranging for the maintaining of liability insurance, arranging
for equipment rental, maintenance of all necessary permits and licenses, acquisition of any additional licenses and permits that become
necessary, participation in risk management policies and procedures; and overseeing and consulting with respect to 1847 CMD’s business
and operational strategies, the implementation of such strategies and the evaluation of such strategies, including, but not limited to,
strategies with respect to capital expenditure and expansion programs, acquisitions or dispositions and product or service lines.
The foregoing description of the Offsetting MSA
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Offsetting MSA filed as an Exhibit
to this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Private Placement Transaction
On December 13, 2024, the Company entered into
a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain purchasers (the “Purchasers”)
and a placement agreement (the “Placement Agreement”) with Spartan Capital Securities, LLC, as placement agent (the
“Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers an aggregate of 42,311,118
units, at a purchase price of $0.27 per unit, for total gross proceeds of approximately $11.42 million (the “Offering”).
The units are comprised of (i) 3,437,210 common
shares (the “Shares”) and pre-funded warrants for the purchase of 38,873,908 common shares (the “Pre-Funded
Warrants”), (ii) series A warrants to purchase 42,311,118 common shares at an exercise price of $0.81 per share (the “Series
A Warrants”) and (iii) series B warrants to purchase 42,311,118 common shares at an exercise price of $0.54 per share (the “Series
B Warrants,” and together with the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”).
On December 16, 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, a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% 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 $10.25 million, all of which were used to pay the cash portion of the Purchase Price.
The
Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time following Shareholder Approval (as defined below) 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 Pre-Funded Warrant if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in
excess of 4.99% or 9.99% (at the Purchaser’s option) 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 Series A Warrants are exercisable at any time
following Shareholder Approval at an exercise price of $0.81 per share (subject to adjustment) and will expire five years from the later
of (a) the date that the Company obtains Shareholder Approval and (b) the earlier of the date that (i) the initial Registration Statement
(as defined below) registering for resale the Registerable Securities (as defined below) has been declared effective by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or (ii) the date that the Registerable Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred
without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”).
The Series B Warrants are exercisable at any time
following Shareholder Approval at an exercise price of $0.54 per share (subject to adjustment) and will expire five years from the later
of (a) the date that the Company obtains Shareholder Approval and (b) the earlier of the date that (i) the initial Registration Statement
registering for resale the Registerable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC or (ii) the date that the Registerable Securities
can be sold, assigned or transferred without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities
Act.
The Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants
may be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no effective registration statement with respect to the underlying common shares. In
addition, under an alternate cashless exercise option contained in the Series A Warrants, the holders of the Series A Warrants will have
the right to receive an aggregate number of shares equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of common shares that would be issuable
upon a cash exercise of the Series A Warrants and (ii) 1.25.
The exercise prices of the Series A Warrants and
the Series B Warrants contain standard adjustments for forward and reverse share splits, share dividends, reclassifications and similar
transactions. In addition, the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants also contain the following resets of the exercise prices and
number of shares underlying the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants:
| ● | Share
Combination Event: Subject to Shareholder Approval, if at any time and from time to time
on or after the issue date there occurs any share split, share dividend, share combination
or reverse share split, recapitalization, or other similar transaction involving the common
shares (each, a “Share Combination Event,” and such date thereof, the
“Share Combination Event Date”) and the lowest volume weighted average
price of the Company’s common shares on its principal trading market (the “VWAP”)
during the period commencing five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding and
the five (5) consecutive trading days commencing on the Share Combination Event Date (the
“Event Market Price”) (provided if the Share Combination Event is effective
after the close of trading, then commencing on the next trading day, which period shall be
the “Share Combination Adjustment Period”) is less than the exercise price
then in effect, then at the close of trading on the last day of the Share Combination Adjustment
Period, the exercise price then in effect on such fifth (5th) trading day shall be reduced
(but in no event increased) to the Event Market Price, subject to the Floor Price (as defined
below), and the number of common shares issuable upon exercise shall be increased such that
the aggregate exercise price shall remain unchanged. |
| ● | Registration
Reset: On the Reset Date (as defined below), the exercise price shall be adjusted to
equal the lower of (i) the exercise price then in effect and (ii) a price equal to the greater
of (a) the lowest single day VWAP during the period commencing on the twentieth (20th)
trading day immediately preceding the Reset Date and ending on the Reset Date and (b) the
Floor Price. Upon such reset of the exercise price, the number of common shares issuable
upon exercise shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price shall remain unchanged.
As used herein, “Reset Date” means the date following Shareholder Approval
that is the earliest of the following dates, (i) the date on which for twenty (20) consecutive
trading days all Registrable Securities have become and remained registered pursuant to an
effective Registration Statement that is available for the resale of all Registrable Securities,
provided, however, that if less than all Registrable Securities have become registered for
resale on the date that a Registration Statement is declared effective, the holder with respect
to itself only, shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to deem such condition
satisfied, including with regard only to the Registrable Securities that have been so registered,
(ii) the date on which the holder, for twenty (20) consecutive trading days, can sell all
Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction or limitation and the Company
has not had a Public Information Failure (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)
or (iii) twelve (12) months and twenty (20) trading days immediately following the issuance
date of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants. |
| ● | Subsequent
Equity Sales: Subject to Shareholder Approval, if at any time the Company issues, sells,
enters into an agreement to sell, or grants any option to purchase, or sells, enters into
an agreement to sell, or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues
(or announces any offer, sale, grant, or any option to purchase or other disposition), or
is deemed to have issued or sold, any common shares or any securities of the Company or its
subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time common shares,
including, without limitation, any debt, preferred shares, right, option, warrant or other
instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise
entitles the holder thereof to receive, common shares, for a consideration per share (the
“New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the exercise price in
effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale, then simultaneously
with the consummation (or, if earlier, the announcement) of such issuance, the exercise price
then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the lower of (i) the New Issuance Price
and (ii) the lowest VWAP during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately following
the issuance, subject to the Floor Price, and the number of common shares issuable upon exercise
shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price shall remain unchanged. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing exercise price resets,
in no event shall the exercises prices of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants be reduced to a price that is less than the
Floor Price. As used herein, “Floor Price” means (i) prior to Shareholder Approval, a price equal to thirty-five percent
(35%) of $0.27 (which price shall be appropriately adjusted for any share dividend, share split, share combination, reclassification or
similar transactions) (as may be so adjusted, the “Minimum Price”), or (ii) following Shareholder Approval, a price
equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Minimum Price; provided, however, that upon every Share Combination Event, the Floor Price shall
be equal to 50% of the prior Floor Price, and shall subsequently continue to be so adjusted for every additional Share Combination Event.
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement,
the Company agreed to hold a special meeting of shareholders at the earliest practicable date, but in no event later than ninety (90)
days after the closing date for the purpose of obtaining the requisite approval from its shareholders for (i) the issuance of all common
shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, including without limitation, with respect to any and all additional shares that may be
issued as a result of the adjustments set forth in the Warrants, (ii) a reset of the exercise price and approval of a corresponding increase
in the total number of common shares issuable upon exercise of the series A warrants issued by the Company to investors on October 30,
2024 that remain outstanding to an exercise price equal to the initial exercise price of the Series A Warrants, and any additional share
issuance(s) as may be warranted due to such adjustment(s), and (iii) a reset of the exercise price and approval of a corresponding increase
in the total number of common shares issuable upon exercise of the series B warrants issued by the Company to investors on October 30,
2024 to an exercise price equal to the initial exercise price of the Series B Warrants, and any additional share issuance(s) as may be
warranted due to such adjustment(s), in accordance with NYSE American’s rules (the “Shareholder Approval”), with
the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such proposal be approved, and the Company agreed to solicit proxies
from its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed
proxyholders agreed to vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. The Company agreed to file a preliminary proxy statement with the
SEC within ten (10) business days following the closing date for the purpose of obtaining the Shareholder Approval and to use its best
efforts to obtain such Shareholder Approval. In the event that Shareholder Approval does not occur at the first shareholder meeting, the
Company will be required to hold additional meetings at least one time every seventy-five (75) days until the earlier of the date Shareholder
Approval is obtained or the Warrants are no longer outstanding.
In connection with the Offering, the Company also
entered into a registration rights agreement with the Purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to
which the Company agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC within
45 trading days of closing (the “Filing Date”) in order to register (i) the Shares, (ii) all common shares that may
be issued upon exercise of the Warrants (without regard to any exercise limitations therein), and (iii) any securities issued or then
issuable upon any share split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the foregoing (the “Registrable
Securities”) and use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act
as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than forty-five (45) calendar days following the Filing Date
or, in the event of a full review by SEC, ninety (90) calendar days following the Filing Date (the “Effectiveness Date”).
If (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date, (ii) the Company fails to file with the SEC a request for
acceleration of the Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act within five
(5) trading days of the date that the Company is notified by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed”
or will not be subject to further review, (iii) prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a
pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of the Registration Statement within ten
(10) calendar days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that such amendment is required in order for the Registration
Statement to be declared effective, (iv) the Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Registrable Securities is not declared
effective by the SEC by the Effectiveness Date, or (v) after the effective date of the Registration Statement, it ceases for any reason
to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement, or the Purchasers are otherwise
not permitted to utilize the prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities for more than ten (10) consecutive calendar days
or more than an aggregate of fifteen (15) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period (any
such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clauses (i) and (iv), the date on which
such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five (5) trading day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause
(iii) the date which such twenty (20) calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (v) the date on which such ten (10) or
fifteen (15) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition
to any other rights the Purchasers may have under the Registration Rights Agreement or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and
on each day thereafter until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay and distribute to each Purchaser an amount in cash or
common shares (as preferred by the Purchasers, and determined thereupon), on a pro rata basis as partial liquidated damages and not as
a penalty, on a daily basis, a sum equal to 0.5% of the aggregate subscription amount paid by the Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement until fifteen (15) calendar days of each such Event, which amount shall increase to 1.00% of the aggregate subscription amount
between sixteenth (16) calendar days and until cure of the Event, as calculated on a daily basis. If the Company fails to pay any such
partial liquidated damages in full within seven (7) days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 12%
per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Purchasers, accruing daily from the date
such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full.
The Purchase Agreement, the Placement Agreement,
the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement 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.

Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of those documents

Exercise.
2.1
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 Shareholder Approval and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed
PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 (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 2.4.1 herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver
the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s
check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2.3 below is specified in the applicable
Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee
or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required
to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and
the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within
three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant
resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding
number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and
the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver
any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by
acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion
of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the
amount stated on the face hereof.
2.2
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 Issue 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 $0.01, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price“).
2.3
Cashless Exercise. 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 2.1 hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2.1 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. 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 2.1 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 2.1 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, and the holding period
of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. Without limiting any other provision in the
Transaction Documents, assuming (i) the Holder is not an Affiliate of the Company, and (ii) all of the applicable conditions of Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act with respect to Holder and the Warrant Shares are met in the case of such a cashless exercise,
the Company agrees that the Company will cause the removal of the legend from such Warrant Shares (including by delivering an opinion
of the Company’s counsel to the Company’s transfer agent at its own expense to ensure the foregoing), and the Company agrees
that the Holder is under no obligation to sell the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to removing the legend.
The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2.3.
2.4
Mechanics of Exercise.
2.4.1.
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) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations
pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for
purposes of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act to have become the holder of the Warrant Shares irrespective of the date of delivery
of the Warrant Shares. 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 third (3rd) 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.
2.4.2.
Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request
of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new
Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant
shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
2.4.3.
Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant
to Section 2.4.1 by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
2.4.4.
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 2.4.1 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 and
return any amount received by the Company in respect of the Exercise Price for those Warrant Shares (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 of this Warrant to purchase 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 Common Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.
2.4.5.
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.
2.4.6.
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 as Exhibit 2.4.6 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.
2.4.7.
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.
2.5
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, unexercised 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
unconverted 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 2.5, 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 2.5 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 2.5, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Share, 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
(1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares 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% (or, upon election by a Holder
prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) 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 2.5, 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 2.5 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 2.5 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.
3.
Certain Adjustments.
3.1
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 of Common Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common
Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii)
subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding
Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the
Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of 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
3.1 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.
3.2
Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3.1 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 all (or
substantially all) of the record holders of any class of 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).
3.3
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 all (or substantially all) 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). To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution,
such portion of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant.
3.4
Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in
one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (and
all of its subsidiaries taken as a whole), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance
or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect,
purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
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 or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (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 50% or more of the outstanding Common
Shares or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (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 2.5 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 2.5 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 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 Share/shares 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, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day
of consummation of the applicable contemplated 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
contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility as 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 contemplated 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 highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately
preceding the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request pursuant to this Section 3.4 and (D) a remaining
option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated 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 (5) Business Days after 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 in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.4 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 that 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 prior 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 be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from
and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant referring to the “Company”
shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor
Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto
and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant with
the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company
herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3.4 regardless of
(i) whether the Company has sufficient authorized Common Shares for the issuance of Warrant Shares and/or (ii) whether a Fundamental
Transaction occurs prior to the Shareholder Approval.
3.5
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share,
as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date
shall be the sum of the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
3.6
Notice to Holder.
3.6.1.
Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the
Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting
adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
3.6.2.
Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever
form) on the Common Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Share,
(C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification
of the Common Share, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of
all or substantially all of its assets, 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 email to the Holder at its last 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 the 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.
4.
Transfer of Warrant.
4.1
Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable,
in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written
assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4.6 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.
4.2
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 4.1, 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.
4.3
Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose
(the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and
treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to
the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
4.4
Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant,
the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions
or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that
(x) the transferor provide to the Company an opinion of counsel to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such
transferred Warrant under the Securities Act and (y) that the transferee agree in writing to be bound by the terms of the Securities
Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, with all the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under such agreements.
4.5
Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant
and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to
or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
5.
Miscellaneous.
5.1
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 2.4.1, 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 2.3 or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2.4.1 and Section 2.4.4 herein, in no event shall the Company
be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
5.2
Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares,
and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant,
shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the
Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant
or stock certificate.
5.3
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 Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding
Business Day.
5.4
Authorized Shares.
5.4.1.
Reservation of Authorized and Unissued 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 of Common 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 nonassessable (which means
that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue thereof) 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).
5.4.2.
Noncircumvention. 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 nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public
regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
5.4.3.
Authorizations, Exemptions and Consents. Before taking any action that 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.
5.5
Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant 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 Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their 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, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that
it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is 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 suit, 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 Warrant 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 either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant,
the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’
fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph shall limit or restrict the federal district court in which a Holder may bring a claim under
the federal securities laws.
5.6
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.
5.7
Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder
shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact
that the right to exercise this Warrant terminates on the Termination Date. No provision of this Warrant shall be construed as a waiver
by the Holder of any rights which the Holder may have under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder. 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.
5.8
Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without
limitation, any Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight
courier service, addressed to the Company at 590 Madison Avenue, 21st Floor New York, NY 10022, Attention: Ellery W. Roberts, Chief Executive
Officer, email address: eroberts@1847holdings.com, or such other email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes
by notice to the Holders. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be
in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder
at the e-mail address or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries
hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered
via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section 5.8 prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading
Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section
5.8 on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day
following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party
to whom such notice is required to be given. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public
information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant
to a Current Report on Form 8-K.
5.9
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.
5.10
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.
5.11
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.
5.12
Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company,
on the one hand, and the Holder, on the other hand.
5.13
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.
5.14
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.

the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, __________, the registered
holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to

to the Company of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 (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 2.4.1 herein)
following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in
the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise
procedure specified in Section 2.3 below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. For the avoidance of doubt, any reference
to cashless exercise herein shall include a reference to alternative cashless exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required,
nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder
has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise
is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares
available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal
to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant
Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading
Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason
of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares
available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
2.2 Exercise
Price. The exercise price per Warrant Share shall be $0.81, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
2.3 Cashless
Exercise. If at any time following the Shareholder Approval, if 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 or the resale of the Warrant Shares
by 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 2.1 hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2.1 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. 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 2.1 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 2.1 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, and the holding period
of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. Assuming (i) the Holder is not an Affiliate
of the Company, and (ii) all of the applicable conditions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act with respect to Holder and
the Warrant Shares are met in the case of such a cashless exercise, the Company agrees that the Company will cause the removal of the
legend from such Warrant Shares (including by delivering an opinion of the Company’s counsel to the Company’s transfer agent
at its own expense to ensure the foregoing), and the Company agrees that the Holder is under no obligation to sell the Warrant Shares
issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to removing the legend. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this
Section 2.3.
The
Holder may also effect an “alternative cashless exercise” following Shareholder Approval. In such event, the aggregate number
of Warrant Shares issuable in such alternative cashless exercise pursuant to any given Notice of Exercise electing to effect an alternative
cashless exercise shall equal the product of (i) the aggregate 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,
multiplied by (ii) 1.25. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall be automatically
exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2.3 (including an alternative cashless exercise pursuant to this paragraph).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise
pursuant to this Section 2.3.
2.4 Mechanics
of Exercise.
2.4.1. 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) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations
pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for
purposes of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act to have become the holder of the Warrant Shares irrespective of the date of delivery
of the Warrant Shares. If the Company fails for any reason (other than the failure of the Holder to timely deliver the aggregate Exercise
Price, unless the Warrant is validly exercised by means of a cashless exercise) 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 third (3rd) 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.
2.4.2. Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder
and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing
the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other
respects be identical with this Warrant.
2.4.3. Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2.4.1
by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise; provided, however, that the Holder
shall be required to return any Warrant Shares subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to Holder of
the aggregate Exercise Price paid to the Company for such Warrant Shares and the restoration of Holder’s right to acquire such
Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).
2.4.4. 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
2.4.1 above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date (other than the failure of the Holder to timely
deliver the aggregate Exercise Price, unless the Warrant is validly exercised by means of a cashless exercise), 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 and return any amount received by the Company in respect of the Exercise Price for those Warrant Shares (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 of 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 Common Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.
2.4.5. 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.
2.4.6. 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 as Exhibit 2.4.6 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.
2.4.7. 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.
2.5 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, unexercised 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 unconverted 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 2.5, 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 2.5 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 2.5, 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 (1) 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% (or, upon election by a Holder prior to the issuance of
any Warrants, 9.99%) 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 2.5, 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 2.5 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 2.5 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.
3. Certain
Adjustments.
3.1 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 of Common Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Shares (which,
for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding
Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Common Shares into
a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of 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 Common 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 3.1 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.
3.2 Subsequent
Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3.1 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 all (or substantially
all) of the record holders of any class of 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). If the Company
enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents at the
lowest possible price, conversion price or exercise price at which such securities may be issued, converted or exercised.
3.3 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 all (or substantially all) 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). To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution,
such portion of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant.
3.4 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
or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (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 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares or 50% or more of the voting power of the common
equity of the Company (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 2.5
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 2.5 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 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 Shares /shares 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, L.P. (“Bloomberg”)
determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable contemplated 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 contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Expiration Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility
as 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 contemplated 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 highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading
Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the
applicable Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request pursuant to this Section
3.4 and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated
Fundamental Transaction and the Expiration 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 (5) Business Days after 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 in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.4 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 that 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 prior 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 be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant
(so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant referring
to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally),
and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company
prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this
Warrant with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named
as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3.4
regardless of (i) whether the Company has sufficient authorized Common Shares for the issuance of Warrant Shares and/or (ii) whether
a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Initial Exercise Date.
3.5 Share
Combination Event Adjustment. In addition to the adjustments set forth in Section 3.1 above, subject to Shareholder Approval,
if at any time and from time to time on or after the Issue Date there occurs any share split, share dividend, share combination or reverse
share split, recapitalization, or other similar transaction involving the Common Shares (each, a “Share Combination Event,”
and such date thereof, the “Share Combination Event Date”) and the lowest VWAP during the period commencing
five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding and the five (5) consecutive Trading Days commencing on the Share Combination
Event Date (the “Event Market Price”) (provided if the Share Combination Event is effective after the close
of trading on the primary Trading Market, then commencing on the next Trading Day which period shall be the “Share Combination
Adjustment Period”) is less than the Exercise Price then in effect (after giving effect to the adjustment in Section 3.1
above), then at the close of trading on the primary Trading Market on the last day of the Share Combination Adjustment Period, the Exercise
Price then in effect on such fifth (5th) Trading Day shall be reduced (but in no event increased) to the Event Market Price and the number
of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant on the Issue Date for
the Warrant Shares then outstanding shall remain unchanged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adjustment to the Exercise Price in this
Section 3.5 shall not reduce the Exercise Price below the Floor Price (as defined below); provided further that notwithstanding the foregoing,
if one or more Share Combination Events occurred prior to obtaining Shareholder Approval (if required), then effective upon Shareholder
Approval, the Exercise Price will automatically be reduced to equal the greater of (x) the lowest Event Market Price with respect to
any Share Combination Event that occurred prior to obtaining Shareholder Approval, and (y) the Floor Price, and in any such event the
number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant on the Issue Date
for the Warrant Shares then outstanding shall remain unchanged. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the adjustment in the immediately
preceding sentence would otherwise result in an increase in the Exercise Price hereunder, no adjustment shall be made, and if this Warrant
is exercised, on any given Exercise Date during the Share Combination Adjustment Period, solely with respect to such portion of this
Warrant exercised on such applicable Exercise Date, such applicable Share Combination Adjustment Period shall be deemed to have ended
on, and included, the Trading Day immediately prior to such Exercise Date and the Event Market Price on such applicable Exercise Date
will be the lowest VWAP of the Common Shares immediately during such the Share Combination Adjustment Period prior to such Exercise Date
and ending on, and including the Trading Day immediately prior to such Exercise Date and (ii) all adjustments pursuant to this Section
3.5 shall also be subject to Section 3.1 above, including any Event Market Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the “aggregate Exercise Price” used in the determination of the increase in Warrant Shares above shall be based on the aggregate
Exercise Price on the Closing Date (reduced ratably for prior exercises), and shall not be based on an aggregate Exercise Price resulting
from a reduction in the Exercise Price without a proportionate increase in the number of Warrant Shares (i.e., pursuant to this Section
3.5 or otherwise).
3.6 Reset.
On the Reset Date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the lower of (i) the Exercise Price then in effect and (ii) the Reset
Price determined as of the date of determination. Upon such reset of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3.6, the number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking
into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price on the Issuance Date (adjusted for any
Warrants exercised or sold by the Holder prior to such Reset Date) for the Warrant Shares then outstanding (the “Reset Share
Amount”).
3.6.1. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a Holder requests to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part on any given date prior to the Reset Date on which (i)
all Registrable Securities have become and remained registered pursuant to an effective Registration Statement that is available for
the resale of all Registrable Securities, provided, however, if less than all Registrable Securities have become registered
for resale on the date that a Registration Statement is declared effective, the Holder with respect to itself only, shall have the right
in its sole and absolute discretion to deem such condition satisfied, including with regard only to the Registrable Securities that have
been so registered, (ii) the Holder can sell all Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction or limitation and the
Company has not had a Public Information Failure or (iii) twelve (12) months immediately following the Issuance Date (any such date,
an “Exercise Date”), solely with respect to such portion of this Warrant being exercised on such applicable
Exercise Date, (a) such applicable Reset Date shall be deemed to mean the Exercise Date, (b) such applicable Reset Period shall be deemed
to have commenced on the applicable date set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) hereof and ended on the twenty-first (21st) Trading Day
thereafter and (c) the applicable Reset Price and Reset Share Amount for such exercised Warrants shall be calculated pursuant to this
Section 3.6. For the avoidance of doubt, following the calculation of the Reset Price and Reset Share Amount pursuant to this Section
3.6.1, the Company’s obligations with regard to such exercised Warrants shall be deemed satisfied and no additional Reset Price
and Reset Share Amount shall apply to such exercised Warrants.
3.6.2. If
less than all of the Registrable Securities have been registered pursuant to the clause (i) of the definition of Reset Date and a Holder
has deemed the condition satisfied as to such Registrable Securities, then the Reset Date shall apply only to such portion of the Registrable
Securities, and the Company’s obligations will continue to apply with regard to the Registrable Securities for which the definition
of Reset Date has not been not satisfied.
3.7 Subsequent
Equity Sales. Subject to Shareholder Approval, if at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (such period, the “Adjustment
Period”), the Company issues, sells, enters into an agreement to sell, or grants any option to purchase, or sells, enters
into an agreement to sell, or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any offer, sale, grant, or
any option to purchase or other disposition), or, in accordance with this Section 3.7, is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common Shares
or Common Share Equivalents for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal
to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect
is referred to as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”),
then simultaneously with the consummation (or, if earlier, the announcement) of such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect
shall be reduced to an amount (the “New Exercise Price”) equal to the lower of (A) the New Issuance Price and
(B) the lowest VWAP during the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately following the Dilutive Issuance (such lower price, the “Base
Share Price”) and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be proportionately increased such that the aggregate
Exercise Price of this Warrant on the Issuance Date for the Warrant Shares then outstanding shall remain unchanged; provided that the
Base Share Price shall not be less than the Floor Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if one or more Dilutive Issuances occurred prior
to obtaining Shareholder Approval, then effective upon Shareholder Approval, the Exercise Price will automatically be reduced to equal
the greater of (x) lowest Base Share Price with respect to any Dilutive Issuance that occurred prior to obtaining Shareholder Approval
and (B) the Floor Price, and in any such event the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate
Exercise Price of this Warrant on the Issuance Date for the Warrant Shares then outstanding shall remain unchanged. If the Company enters
into a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement; provided, that, with respect to a Variable Rate Transaction that
is an equity line of credit or an “at-the-market offering”, this Section 3.7 shall apply to any issuances of Common Shares
or Common Share Equivalents thereunder rather than the entry into the agreement with respect thereto), the Company shall be deemed to
have issued Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents at the lowest possible price, conversion price, or exercise price at which such
securities may be issued, converted, or exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid, or issued under
this Section 3.7 in respect of an Exempt Issuance (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the
Exercise Price has been adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.7 and the Dilutive Issuance that triggered such adjustment does not occur,
is not consummated, is unwound, or is canceled after the facts for any reason whatsoever, in no event shall the Exercise Price be readjusted
to the Exercise Price that would have been in effect if such Dilutive Issuance had not occurred or been consummated. For all purposes
of the foregoing, the following shall be applicable:
3.7.1. Issuance
of Options. If, during the Adjustment Period, the Company in any manner grants or sells any options to purchase Common Shares
(“Options”) and the lowest price per share for which one Common Share is issuable upon the exercise of any
such Option or upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of any convertible securities (“Convertible Securities”)
issuable upon exercise of any such Option (such Common Shares issuable upon such exercise of any Option or upon conversion, exercise,
or exchange of any Convertible Securities, the “Convertible Securities Shares”) is less than the Applicable
Price, then such Common Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting
or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 3.7.1, the “lowest price per share for which one
Common Share is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of any Convertible Securities
issuable upon exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to (A) the sum of (1) the lowest amount of consideration (if any) received
or receivable by the Company with respect to any one Convertible Securities Share upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise
of such Option and upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option and (2) the
lowest exercise price set forth in such Option for which one Convertible Securities Share is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option
or upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option, minus (B) the sum
of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person), with respect to any one Convertible Securities Share,
upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of any Convertible
Security issuable upon exercise of such Option plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred
on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person), with respect to any one Convertible Securities Share. Except as contemplated below,
no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Convertible Securities Share or of such Convertible
Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Convertible Securities Share upon conversion, exercise,
or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
3.7.2. Issuance
of Convertible Securities. If, during the Adjustment Period, the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities
and the lowest price per share for which one Convertible Securities Share is issuable upon the conversion, exercise, or exchange thereof
is less than the Applicable Price, then such Convertible Securities Share shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and
sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of
this Section 3.7.2, the “lowest price per share for which one Convertible Securities Share is issuable upon the conversion, exercise
or exchange thereof” shall be equal to (A) the sum of (1) the lowest amount of consideration (if any) received or receivable by
the Company with respect to one Convertible Securities Share upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion,
exercise, or exchange of such Convertible Security and (2) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security for which
one Convertible Securities Share is issuable upon conversion, exercise, or exchange thereof, minus (B) the sum of all amounts paid or
payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person), with respect to any one Convertible Securities Share, upon
the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred
on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person), with respect to any one Convertible Securities Share. Except as contemplated
below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Convertible Securities Share upon conversion,
exercise, or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise
of any Options for which adjustment of the Exercise Price has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 3.7.2,
except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
3.7.3. Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If, during the Adjustment Period, the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options,
the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise, or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the
rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares increases or decreases
at any time (other than proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to
in Section 3.1, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would
have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price,
additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued, or sold.
For purposes of this Section 3.7.3, if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance
of this Warrant are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible
Security and the Convertible Securities Share deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion, or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have
been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.7.3 shall be made if such adjustment
would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.
3.7.4. Calculation
of Consideration Received. If any Option or Convertible Security is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed
issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (the “Primary Security,” and such Option or Convertible
Security, the “Secondary Securities” and together with the Primary Security, each a “Unit”),
together comprising one integrated transaction, the aggregate consideration per share with respect to such Primary Security shall be
deemed to be the lowest of (x) the purchase price of such Unit, (y) if such Primary Security is an Option and/or Convertible Security,
the lowest price per share for which one Common Share is at any time issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Primary Security
in accordance with Section 3.7.1 or 3.7.2 above and (z) the lowest VWAP of the Common Shares on any Trading Day during the five (5) consecutive
Trading Days immediately following the consummation (or, if applicable, the announcement) of such Dilutive Issuance (for the avoidance
of doubt, if such public announcement, if applicable, is released prior to the opening of the Principal Market on a Trading Day, such
Trading Day shall be the first Trading Day in such five (5) Trading Day period and if this Warrant is exercised on any given Exercise
Date during any such period, the Holder may elect to earlier end such period (including, solely with respect to such portion of this
Warrant exercised on such applicable Exercise Date)). If any Common Shares, Options, or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or
deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount of cash received
by the Company therefor. If any Common Shares, Options, or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash,
the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration
consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be
the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt.
If any Common Shares, Options, or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any
merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair market value
of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Shares, Options or Convertible
Securities (as the case may be). The fair market value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined
jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an
event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair market value of such consideration will be determined
within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly
selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest
error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
3.8 Voluntary
Adjustment by Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the principal Trading Market and the consent of the Holder, the
Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time
deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors.
3.9 Floor
Price. Notwithstanding anything in Section 3 to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to utilize an Exercise Price that
is less than the Floor Price.
3.10 Other
Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3 but not expressly provided for by such
provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity
features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant
Shares, as mutually determined by the Company’s Board of Directors and the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then
outstanding, so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3 will increase
the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3.
3.11 Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For
purposes of this Section 3, the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum
of the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
3.12 Notice
to Holder.
3.12.1. Adjustment
to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall
promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment
to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
3.12.2. Notice
to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the
Common Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Shares, (C) the Company
shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class
or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the
Common Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all
or substantially all of its assets, 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 email to the Holder at its last 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 the 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.
3.13 Shareholder
Approval. The Company shall seek Shareholder Approval in the time period and the manner provided in the Purchase Agreement.
4. Transfer
of Warrant.
4.1 Transferability.
Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any
registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or
its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4.6 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.
4.2 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 4.1, 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.
4.3 Warrant
Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder
of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other
purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
5. Miscellaneous.
5.1 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 2.4.1, 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 2.3 or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2.4.1 and Section 2.4.4 herein, in no event
shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
5.2 Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case
of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include
the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make

5.4 Authorized
Shares.
5.4.1. Reservation
of Authorized and Unissued 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 Common 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 nonassessable (which means that no further sums are
required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue thereof) 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).
5.4.2. Non
circumvention. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then
outstanding, 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 nonassessable
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions
or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations
under this Warrant.
5.4.3. Authorizations,
Exemptions and Consents. Before taking any action that 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.
5.5 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant 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 Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their 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, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is
not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is 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 suit, 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 Warrant 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 either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant,
the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’
fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph shall limit or restrict the federal district court in which a Holder may bring a claim under
the federal securities laws.
5.6 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.
5.7 Nonwaiver
and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate
as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that the right
to exercise this Warrant terminates on the Expiration Date. No provision of this Warrant shall be construed as a waiver by the Holder
of any rights which the Holder may have under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
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.
5.8 Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any
Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service,

non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission

5.9 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.
5.10 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.
5.11 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.
5.12 Amendment.
This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and
the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding, on the other hand.
5.13 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.

to the Company of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 (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 2.4.1 herein)
following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in
the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise
procedure specified in Section 2.3 below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall
be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder
has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise
is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares
available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal
to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant
Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading
Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason
of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares
available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
2.2 Exercise
Price. The exercise price per Warrant Share shall be $0.54, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
2.3 Cashless
Exercise. If at any time following the Shareholder Approval, if 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 or the resale of the Warrant Shares
by 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 2.1 hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2.1 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. 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 2.1 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 2.1 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, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being
issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. Assuming (i) the Holder is not an Affiliate of the Company, and (ii) all
of the applicable conditions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act with respect to Holder and the Warrant Shares are met in
the case of such a cashless exercise, the Company agrees that the Company will cause the removal of the legend from such Warrant Shares
(including by delivering an opinion of the Company’s counsel to the Company’s transfer agent at its own expense to ensure
the foregoing), and the Company agrees that the Holder is under no obligation to sell the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of
the Warrant prior to removing the legend. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2.3.
Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, on the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2.3.
2.4 Mechanics
of Exercise.
2.4.1. 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) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant
to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for
purposes of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act to have become the holder of the Warrant Shares irrespective of the date of delivery
of the Warrant Shares. If the Company fails for any reason (other than the failure of the Holder to timely deliver the aggregate Exercise
Price, unless the Warrant is validly exercised by means of a cashless exercise) 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 third (3rd) 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.
2.4.2. Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder
and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing
the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects
be identical with this Warrant.
2.4.3. Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2.4.1
by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise; provided, however, that the Holder shall
be required to return any Warrant Shares subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to Holder of the aggregate
Exercise Price paid to the Company for such Warrant Shares and the restoration of Holder’s right to acquire such Warrant Shares
pursuant to this Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).
2.4.4. 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
2.4.1 above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date (other than the failure of the Holder to timely
deliver the aggregate Exercise Price, unless the Warrant is validly exercised by means of a cashless exercise), 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 and return any amount received by the Company in respect of the Exercise Price for those Warrant Shares (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 of 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 Common Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required
pursuant to the terms hereof.
2.4.5. 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.
2.4.6. 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 as Exhibit 2.4.6 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.
2.4.7. 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.
2.5 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, unexercised 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 unconverted 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 2.5, 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 2.5 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 2.5, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Share, 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 (1) 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% (or, upon election by a Holder prior to the issuance of
any Warrants, 9.99%) 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 2.5, 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 2.5 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 2.5 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.
3. Certain
Adjustments.
3.1 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 of Common Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Shares (which,
for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding
Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Common Shares into
a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each
case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of 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 3.1 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.
3.2 Subsequent
Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3.1 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 all (or substantially
all) of the record holders of any class of 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).
3.3 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 all (or substantially all) 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). To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion
of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant.
3.4 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 or
50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (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 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares or 50% or more of the voting power of the common
equity of the Company (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 2.5 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 2.5 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 s 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 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 Share/shares 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, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day
of consummation of the applicable contemplated 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 contemplated
Fundamental Transaction and the Expiration Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility as 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 contemplated 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 highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public
announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if
earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request pursuant to this Section 3.4 and (D) a remaining option time
equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Expiration
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 (5) Business Days after 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 in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.4 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 that 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 prior 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 be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation
of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to
each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities,
jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor
Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant with the same effect as if the Company and
such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3.4 regardless of (i) whether the Company has sufficient
authorized Common Shares for the issuance of Warrant Shares and/or (ii) whether a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Initial
Exercise Date.
3.5 Share
Combination Event Adjustment. In addition to the adjustments set forth in Section 3.1 above, subject to Shareholder Approval,
if at any time and from time to time on or after the Issue Date there occurs any share split, share dividend, share combination or reverse
share split, recapitalization, or other similar transaction involving the Common Shares (each, a “Share Combination Event,”
and such date thereof, the “Share Combination Event Date”) and the lowest VWAP during the period commencing
five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding and the five (5) consecutive Trading Days commencing on the Share Combination
Event Date (the “Event Market Price”) (provided if the Share Combination Event is effective after the close
of trading on the primary Trading Market, then commencing on the next Trading Day which period shall be the “Share Combination
Adjustment Period”) is less than the Exercise Price then in effect (after giving effect to the adjustment in Section 3.1
above), then at the close of trading on the primary Trading Market on the last day of the Share Combination Adjustment Period, the Exercise
Price then in effect on such fifth (5th) Trading Day shall be reduced (but in no event increased) to the Event Market Price and the number
of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant on the Issue Date for the
Warrant Shares then outstanding shall remain unchanged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adjustment to the Exercise Price in this Section
3.5 shall not reduce the Exercise Price below the Floor Price (as defined below); provided further that notwithstanding the foregoing,
if one or more Share Combination Events occurred prior to obtaining Shareholder Approval (if required), then effective upon Shareholder
Approval, the Exercise Price will automatically be reduced to equal the greater of (x) the lowest Event Market Price with respect to any
Share Combination Event that occurred prior to obtaining Shareholder Approval, and (y) the Floor Price, and in any such event the number
of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant on the Issue Date for the
Warrant Shares then outstanding shall remain unchanged. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the adjustment in the immediately preceding
sentence would otherwise result in an increase in the Exercise Price hereunder, no adjustment shall be made, and if this Warrant is exercised,
on any given Exercise Date during the Share Combination Adjustment Period, solely with respect to such portion of this Warrant exercised
on such applicable Exercise Date, such applicable Share Combination Adjustment Period shall be deemed to have ended on, and included,
the Trading Day immediately prior to such Exercise Date and the Event Market Price on such applicable Exercise Date will be the lowest
VWAP of the Common Shares immediately during such the Share Combination Adjustment Period prior to such Exercise Date and ending on, and
including the Trading Day immediately prior to such Exercise Date, and (ii) all adjustments pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall also be
subject to Section 3.1 above, including any Event Market Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the “aggregate
Exercise Price” used in the determination of the increase in Warrant Shares above shall be based on the aggregate Exercise Price
on the Closing Date (reduced ratably for prior exercises), and shall not be based on an aggregate Exercise Price resulting from a reduction
in the Exercise Price without a proportionate increase in the number of Warrant Shares (i.e., pursuant to this Section 3.5 or otherwise).
3.6 Subsequent
Equity Sales. Subject to Shareholder Approval, if at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (such period, the “Adjustment
Period”), the Company issues, sells, enters into an agreement to sell, or grants any option to purchase, or sells, enters
into an agreement to sell, or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any offer, sale, grant, or
any option to purchase or other disposition), or, in accordance with this Section 3.6, is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common Shares
or Common Share Equivalents for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal
to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect
is referred to as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then
simultaneously with the consummation (or, if earlier, the announcement) of such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall
be reduced to an amount (the “New Exercise Price”) equal to the lower of (A) the New Issuance Price and (B)
the lowest VWAP during the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately following the Dilutive Issuance (such lower price, the “Base
Share Price”) and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be proportionately increased such that the aggregate
Exercise Price of this Warrant on the Issuance Date for the Warrant Shares then outstanding shall remain unchanged; provided that the
Base Share Price shall not be less than the Floor Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if one or more Dilutive Issuances occurred prior
to obtaining Shareholder Approval, then effective upon Shareholder Approval, the Exercise Price will automatically be reduced to equal
the greater of (x) lowest Base Share Price with respect to any Dilutive Issuance that occurred prior to obtaining Shareholder Approval
and (B) the Floor Price, and in any such event the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate
Exercise Price of this Warrant on the Issuance Date for the Warrant Shares then outstanding shall remain unchanged. If the Company enters
into a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement; provided, that, with respect to a Variable Rate Transaction that
is an equity line of credit or an “at-the-market offering”, this Section 3.6 shall apply to any issuances of Common Shares
or Common Share Equivalents thereunder rather than the entry into the agreement with respect thereto), the Company shall be deemed to
have issued Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents at the lowest possible price, conversion price, or exercise price at which such
securities may be issued, converted, or exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid, or issued under
this Section 3.6 in respect of an Exempt Issuance (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the
Exercise Price has been adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.6 and the Dilutive Issuance that triggered such adjustment does not occur,
is not consummated, is unwound, or is canceled after the facts for any reason whatsoever, in no event shall the Exercise Price be readjusted
to the Exercise Price that would have been in effect if such Dilutive Issuance had not occurred or been consummated. For all purposes
of the foregoing, the following shall be applicable:
3.6.1. Issuance
of Options. If, during the Adjustment Period, the Company in any manner grants or sells any options to purchase Common Shares
(“Options”) and the lowest price per share for which one Common Share is issuable upon the exercise of any such
Option or upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of any convertible securities (“Convertible Securities”) issuable
upon exercise of any such Option (such Common Shares issuable upon such exercise of any Option or upon conversion, exercise, or exchange
of any Convertible Securities, the “Convertible Securities Shares”) is less than the Applicable Price, then
such Common Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale
of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 3.6.1, the “lowest price per share for which one Common Share
is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon
exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to (A) the sum of (1) the lowest amount of consideration (if any) received or receivable
by the Company with respect to any one Convertible Securities Share upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option
and upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option and (2) the lowest exercise
price set forth in such Option for which one Convertible Securities Share is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion,
exercise, or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option, minus (B) the sum of all amounts paid or
payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person), with respect to any one Convertible Securities Share, upon the granting or
sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon
exercise of such Option plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such
Option (or any other Person), with respect to any one Convertible Securities Share. Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment
of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Convertible Securities Share or of such Convertible Securities upon
the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Convertible Securities Share upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of
such Convertible Securities.
3.6.2. Issuance
of Convertible Securities. If, during the Adjustment Period, the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities
and the lowest price per share for which one Convertible Securities Share is issuable upon the conversion, exercise, or exchange thereof
is less than the Applicable Price, then such Convertible Securities Share shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and
sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this
Section 3.6.2, the “lowest price per share for which one Convertible Securities Share is issuable upon the conversion, exercise
or exchange thereof” shall be equal to (A) the sum of (1) the lowest amount of consideration (if any) received or receivable by
the Company with respect to one Convertible Securities Share upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion,
exercise, or exchange of such Convertible Security and (2) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security for which
one Convertible Securities Share is issuable upon conversion, exercise, or exchange thereof, minus (B) the sum of all amounts paid or
payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person), with respect to any one Convertible Securities Share, upon the
issuance or sale of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred
on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person), with respect to any one Convertible Securities Share. Except as contemplated
below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Convertible Securities Share upon conversion,
exercise, or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise
of any Options for which adjustment of the Exercise Price has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 3.6.2,
except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
3.6.3. Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If, during the Adjustment Period, the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options,
the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise, or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the
rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares increases or decreases
at any time (other than proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to
in Section 3.1, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would
have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional
consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued, or sold. For purposes
of this Section 3.6.3, if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant
are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and
the Convertible Securities Share deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion, or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as
of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.6.3 shall be made if such adjustment would result in
an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.
3.6.4. Calculation
of Consideration Received. If any Option or Convertible Security is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance
or sale of any other securities of the Company (the “Primary Security,” and such Option or Convertible Security,
the “Secondary Securities” and together with the Primary Security, each a “Unit”),
together comprising one integrated transaction, the aggregate consideration per share with respect to such Primary Security shall be deemed
to be the lowest of (x) the purchase price of such Unit, (y) if such Primary Security is an Option and/or Convertible Security, the lowest
price per share for which one Common Share is at any time issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Primary Security in accordance
with Section 3.6.1 or 3.6.2 above and (z) the lowest VWAP of the Common Shares on any Trading Day during the five (5) consecutive Trading
Days immediately following the consummation (or, if applicable, the announcement) of such Dilutive Issuance (for the avoidance of doubt,
if such public announcement, if applicable, is released prior to the opening of the Principal Market on a Trading Day, such Trading Day
shall be the first Trading Day in such five (5) Trading Day period and if this Warrant is exercised on any given Exercise Date during
any such period, the Holder may elect to earlier end such period (including, solely with respect to such portion of this Warrant exercised
on such applicable Exercise Date)). If any Common Shares, Options, or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been
issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount of cash received by the Company therefor.
If any Common Shares, Options, or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration
received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities,
in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such
security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any Common Shares, Options, or Convertible
Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity,
the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the net assets and business of the
non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities (as the case may be). The fair market
value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If
such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation
Event”), the fair market value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th)
day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination
of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall
be borne by the Company.
3.7 Reset.
On the Reset Date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the lower of (i) the Exercise Price then in effect and (ii) the Reset
Price determined as of the date of determination. Upon such reset of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3.7, the number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking
into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price on the Issuance Date (adjusted for any
Warrants exercised or sold by the Holder prior to such Reset Date) for the Warrant Shares then outstanding (the “Reset Share
Amount”).
3.7.1. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a Holder requests to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part on any given date prior to the Reset Date on which (i)
all Registrable Securities have become and remained registered pursuant to an effective Registration Statement that is available for the
resale of all Registrable Securities, provided, however, if less than all Registrable Securities have become registered
for resale on the date that a Registration Statement is declared effective, the Holder with respect to itself only, shall have the right
in its sole and absolute discretion to deem such condition satisfied, including with regard only to the Registrable Securities that have
been so registered, (ii) the Holder can sell all Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction or limitation and the
Company has not had a Public Information Failure or (iii) twelve (12) months immediately following the Issuance Date (any such date, an
“Exercise Date”), solely with respect to such portion of this Warrant being exercised on such applicable Exercise
Date, (a) such applicable Reset Date shall be deemed to mean the Exercise Date, (b) such applicable Reset Period shall be deemed to have
commenced on the applicable date set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) hereof and ended on the twenty-first (21st) Trading Day thereafter
and (c) the applicable Reset Price and Reset Share Amount for such exercised Warrants shall be calculated pursuant to this Section 3.7.
For the avoidance of doubt, following the calculation of the Reset Price and Reset Share Amount pursuant to this Section 3.7.1, the Company’s
obligations with regard to such exercised Warrants shall be deemed satisfied and no additional Reset Price and Reset Share Amount shall
apply to such exercised Warrants.
3.7.2. If
less than all of the Registrable Securities have been registered pursuant to the clause (i) of the definition of Reset Date and a Holder
has deemed the condition satisfied as to such Registrable Securities, then the Reset Date shall apply only to such portion of the Registrable
Securities, and the Company’s obligations will continue to apply with regard to the Registrable Securities for which the definition
of Reset Date has not been not satisfied.
3.8 Voluntary
Adjustment by Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the principal Trading Market and the consent of the Holder, the
Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time
deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors.
3.9 Floor
Price. Notwithstanding anything in Section 3 to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to utilize an Exercise Price of
less than the Floor Price.
3.10 Other
Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3 but not expressly provided for by such
provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity
features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant
Shares, as mutually determined by the Company’s Board of Directors and the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then
outstanding, so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3 will increase
the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3.
3.11 Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For
purposes of this Section 3, the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of
the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
3.12 Notice
to Holder.
3.12.1. Adjustment
to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall
promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to
the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
3.12.2. Notice
to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common
Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Shares, (C) the Company shall
authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or
of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common
Share, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially
all of its assets, 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 email to the Holder at its last 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 the 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.
3.13 Shareholder
Approval. The Company shall seek Shareholder Approval in the time period and the manner provided in the Purchase Agreement.
4. Transfer
of Warrant.
4.1 Transferability.
Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration
rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated
agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4.6 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.
4.2 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 4.1, 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.
4.3 Warrant
Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder
of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other
purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
5. Miscellaneous.
5.1 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 2.4.1, 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 2.3 or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2.4.1 and Section 2.4.4 herein, in no event
shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
5.2 Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case
of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include
the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make
and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
5.3 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 Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
5.4 Authorized
Shares.
5.4.1. Reservation
of Authorized and Unissued 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 Common 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 nonassessable (which means that no further sums are
required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue thereof) 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).
5.4.2. Non
circumvention. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then
outstanding, 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 nonassessable
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions
or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations
under this Warrant.
5.4.3. Authorizations,
Exemptions and Consents. Before taking any action that 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.
5.5 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant 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 Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their 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, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is 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 suit, 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 Warrant 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 either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in
such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and
expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
in this paragraph shall limit or restrict the federal district court in which a Holder may bring a claim under the federal securities
laws.
5.6 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.
5.7 Nonwaiver
and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate
as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that the right
to exercise this Warrant terminates on the Expiration Date. No provision of this Warrant shall be construed as a waiver by the Holder
of any rights which the Holder may have under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
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.
5.8 Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice
of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed
to the Company, at 590 Madison Avenue, 21st Floor New York, NY 10022, Attention: Ellery W. Roberts, Chief Executive Officer, email address:
eroberts@1847holdings.com, or such other email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally,
by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the e-mail address or address of such
Holder appearing on the books of the Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective
on the earliest of (i) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth
in this Section 5.8 prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission,
if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section 5.8 on a day that is not
a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing,
if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required
to be given. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the
Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form
8-K.
5.9 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.
5.10 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.
5.11 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.
5.12 Amendment.
This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and
the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding, on the other hand.
5.13 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.
5.14 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.

3, 2024 in accordance with the Option Agreement. Simultaneous with the execution of the Option Agreement, the Buyer has paid to the

which Option Consideration is non- refundable under any and all circumstances. In the event the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement closes on or before December 3, 2024, the Option Consideration shall be applied to the Purchase Price.

Closing the Seller will sell, transfer and deliver, and the Buyer will purchase from the Seller, all of the outstanding Shares and
all of the Membership Interests for an aggregate purchase price, subject to adjustment as described herein, of Eighteen Million
Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($18,750,000) (the “Purchase Price”) which amount shall be paid in readily

duly executed amended and restated operating agreement of the LLC, at which time, Buyer will be the sole owner of the Membership
Interests, constituting all of the ownership interests in the LLC.
2.3 Adjustments to Purchase Price.
(a) Working Capital Adjustment.
(i) At the Closing, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer an unaudited balance sheet of the combined Companies (the “Preliminary
Balance Sheet”), as of the Closing, together with a certificate of the Seller stating that the Preliminary Balance Sheet was
prepared in accordance with each of the Company’s historical accounting methods consistently applied so as to present fairly in
all material respects the financial condition of Companies as of such date.
(ii)
As soon as practicable following the Closing Date (but not later than seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date), the Buyer
shall cause Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC, its auditor, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to prepare and deliver to the Seller
an audited balance sheet of the combined Companies (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) as of the Closing Date. The Closing
Date Balance Sheet shall be prepared so as to present fairly in all material respects the financial condition of the combined Companies,
however, in determining the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be prepared on the same historical basis
as the Preliminary Balance Sheet consistently applied including determining any taxes based upon the cash method of accounting and not
the accrual basis of accounting.
(iii)
If the Closing Working Capital of the combined Companies exceeds the Preliminary Working Capital of the combined Companies, then
the Buyer shall provide the Seller with a Note (the “Working Capital Note”), which Working Capital Note will be issued,
at the time the Closing Working Capital is finally determined, in an amount that is equal to the excess.
; If the Preliminary Working Capital
exceeds the Closing Working Capital, then the Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount that is equal to such excess on or before thirty (30)
days after the Closing Working Capital is finally determined. Any such adjustment shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
(iv) Seller shall pay off the Corporation Loans on or before the Closing Date and Buyer shall reimburse the Seller for such payment
in readily available funds on or before January 30, 2025.
(v)
The Working Capital Note shall be for a fully amortized term of thirty-six (36) months at an interest rate of six percent (6%)
guaranteed by 1847 Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), the Corporation and the LLC, secured
in a subordinate position to the Buyer’s senior lenders, by the assets of the Buyer, , the Corporation and the LLC and a pledge
agreement in the equity of the Corporation, LLC and the Buyer. The Working Capital Note shall be in the form mutually agreeable to the
parties and incorporated by this reference.
(vi) In the event the Seller does not agree with the Closing Working Capital as reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Seller
shall so inform the Buyer in writing within fifteen (15) Business Days of the Seller’s receipt thereof, such writing to set forth
the objections of the Seller in reasonable detail. If the Seller and the Buyer cannot reach agreement as to any disputed matter relating
to the Closing Working Capital within fifteen (15) Business Days after notification by the Seller to the Buyer of a dispute, they shall
forthwith refer the dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm
mutually agreeable to the Seller and the Buyer for resolution, with the understanding that such firm shall resolve all disputed items
within forty-five (45) days after such disputed items are referred to it. If the Buyer and the Seller are unable to agree on the choice
of an Independent Accounting Firm, they shall select an Independent Accounting Firm by lot. The Seller, on the one hand, and the Buyer,
on the other hand, shall bear one-half of the costs of such accounting firm. The decision of the accounting firm with respect to all disputed
matters relating to the Closing Working Capital shall be deemed final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Seller and the Buyer.
In addition, if the Seller does not object to the Closing Working Capital within the 15-day period referred to above, the Closing Working
Capital, as reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet as so prepared, shall be deemed final and conclusive and binding upon the Seller
and the Buyer.
(vii)
The Seller shall be entitled to have access to the books and records of the Companies and the Buyer’s work papers prepared
in connection with the Closing Date Balance Sheet and shall be entitled to discuss such books and records and work papers with the Buyer
and those persons responsible for the preparation thereof.
(b) Target Working
Capital Adjustment. If the Net Working Capital Target exceeds the Net Working Capital as set forth on the Preliminary Balance
Sheet, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced at the Closing. If the Net Working Capital as set forth on the Preliminary Balance
Sheet exceeds the Net Working Capital Target at Closing (the “Excess”), then the Purchase Price shall be
increased by providing the Working Capital Note at the Closing by an amount equal to such Excess.
(c) Payment for Amounts
Received After Closing. Buyer shall cause the applicable Company to pay to Seller, within 10 Business Days of receipt, (i) any
IRS Tax Credits i.e., ERC, R&D or otherwise, which relate to periods prior to the Closing; (ii) all causes of action, judgments,
claims or demands of whatever kind or description relating to the Business which the applicable Company or Seller has or may have,
as a plaintiff, against any other person or entity; and (iii) all policies of insurance naming either Company or Seller as owner

(d) No Adjustment for
Extension Fee. The parties acknowledge that, in consideration for an extension of the Closing Date to November 1, 2024, Buyer
paid to Seller a non-refundable extension fee of $125,000 (the “Extension Fee”). On August 20, 2024, Buyer paid
to Seller $100,000 of the Extension Fee. The parties acknowledge and agree that $25,000 of the Extension Fee, which was wired to an
account believed to be, but not, owned or maintained by the Company, will be promptly paid to the Seller in the event Buyer or an
affiliate receives such $25,000. Since the Closing did not occur on or prior to November 1, 2024, the Extension Fee will not be
applied to the Purchase Price.
(e) Closing. The
consummation of the Acquisition (the “Closing”) will take place by the reciprocal delivery of closing documents
by electronic mail, regular mail, fax or any other means mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto on or before the Closing Date,
or at such other location or on such other date as the Buyer and the Seller may mutually agree. Buyer understands that prior to the
Closing the Seller shall cause the Companies to terminate all lines of credit of the Companies (the LOCs”) and such
LOCs will not be an asset or liability of the Companies as of the Closing. Seller confirms that terminating the LOCs will remove any
obligation pursuant to the terms of such LOCs for the Companies to provide notices, or seek consents or waivers, relating to the
Acquisition, prior to the Closing.

and against any and all liabilities, deficiencies, demands, claims, Actions, assessments, losses, costs, expenses, interest, fines, penalties

any event, Buyer shall cause Seller to be released of all personal Guaranties, set forth on Exhibit “B” to be attached on
or before the Closing Date, within 45 days after the Closing Date, and if not released Buyer shall be in default of this Agreement. In

will pay under the accrual basis. Seller will have his CPA prepare a draft (as if) tax return for the Companies for the first 10 months
of 2024 and produce K-1s and the difference between these numbers and the K-1s provided by the Buyer or the Companies accrual times the

retain, or attempt to hire or retain, in any capacity any Person who is, or was at any time during the preceding twelve (12) months,
unless such person was terminated, an employee or officer of the Buyer or an Affiliate of the Buyer, other than pursuant to a
general solicitation. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section
6.8 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall
have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace
any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to
expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified
after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. This Section 6.8 shall immediately terminate and be of
be further force and effect in the event of any uncured default under this Agreement, the Working Capital Note or in the event any

failure to pay based upon any subordination clause whether in the Working Capital Note or otherwise.
6.9 Financial
Information. The Seller shall cooperate with the Buyer and the Buyer’s independent certified public accounting firm in
order to enable the Buyer to create audited financial statements, prepared at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense, for the two
full fiscal years preceding the Closing Date, by making available the Seller’s records as they are maintained in the ordinary
course of business and answering reasonable questions.
6.10 Disclosure
Schedule. The Seller shall deliver the initial Disclosure Schedule to Buyer as soon as reasonably practicable after the date
hereof, but in no event later than November 15, 2024 (or such later date prior to the Closing as mutually agreed by Buyer and the
Seller). Buyer shall have five (5) Business Days to review the Disclosure Schedule after its receipt thereof and receipt of all
documents, agreements and information specified therein or requested by the Buyer relating to the matters specified therein (the
“Disclosure Schedule Review Period”), and the Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer in its review of the
Disclosure Schedule, including providing access and information as reasonably requested. The Seller may, on or prior to the Closing
Date deliver to the Buyer, updated Schedules. Such updated Disclosure Schedules, as of the Closing Date, shall be substituted as the
Schedule to be included in this Agreement and shall fully replace the previously prepared Schedule, with no liability to Seller for
the previous Schedule.

TERMINATION; AMENDMENT; WAIVER
8.1 Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated as follows:
(a)
by mutual written consent of the Buyer and the Seller at any time prior to the Closing;
(b)
by either the Buyer or the Seller if any Governmental Entity will have issued an Order or taken any other action permanently
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
(c)
by either the Buyer or the Seller if the Closing does not occur on or before December 3, 2024; provided that the right to terminate
this Agreement under this Section 8.1(c) will not be available to any party whose breach of any provision
of this Agreement results in the failure of the Closing to occur by such
time but the Option Consideration is non-refundable and Buyer shall not be entitled to a return of the Option Consideration;
(d)
by the Buyer if the Seller has materially breached his representations and warranties or any covenant or other agreement to be
performed by it in a manner such that the Closing conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b)
would not be satisfied; or
(e)
by the Seller if the Buyer has breached its representations and warranties or any covenant or other agreement to be performed by
it in a manner such that the Closing conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a)
or 7.2(b) would
not be satisfied; provided that this Article VIII shall
not be applicable in the event this Agreement and the Closing occur simultaneously.
8.2 Effect
of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Seller or the Buyer as provided in Section 8.1, this
Agreement will forthwith become void and have no effect, without any Liability (other than with respect to any suit for breach of
this Agreement) on the part of the Buyer or the Seller (or any stockholder, agent, consultant or Representative of any such party);
provided, that the provisions of Sections 10.1, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.11, 10.13 and this Section 8.2 will survive any termination
hereof pursuant to Section 8.1.
8.3 Amendments.
This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Buyer and the Seller.
8.4 Waiver. At any
time prior to the Closing, the Buyer may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the covenants, obligations or other acts

any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise will not constitute a waiver of such rights. The waiver of any such right with
respect to particular facts and other circumstances will not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances,
and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.
ARTICLE
IX
INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Survival. The
representations and warranties made herein and in any certificate delivered in connection herewith shall survive for a period of
twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire; provided, however, that (i) the representations and
warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 (Authority and Enforceability), 3.3 (The Shares and the Membership Interests), 3.4
(Broker’s Fees), 4.1 (Organization, Qualification and Corporate Power; Authority and Enforceability), 4.3 (Capitalization),
5.1 (Organization), 5.2 (Authorization), and 5.3 (Noncontravention) of this Agreement (the “Fundamental
Representations”) shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations period and (ii) the representations and
warranties in Section 4.6 (Taxes) of this Agreement shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. If
written notice of a claim has been given prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties, then
notwithstanding any statement herein to the contrary, the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim,
until such claim is finally resolved. Unless a specified period is set forth in this Agreement (in which event such specified period
will control), all agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing and remain in effect until the
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.
9.2 Indemnification
by Seller. From and after the Closing, the Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and save Buyer and its Affiliates, stockholders,
officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and collectively,
the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, deficiencies, demands,
claims, Actions, assessments, losses, costs, expenses, interest, fines, penalties and damages (including fees and expenses of
attorneys and accountants and costs of investigation) (individually and collectively, the “Losses”) suffered,
sustained or incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of or otherwise by virtue of: (a) any breach of any of the
representations or warranties or covenants of the Seller or concerning the Companies contained in Article III, Article IV or Article
VI of this Agreement (provided that such claim is timely brought pursuant to Section 9.1), including liabilities relating to the
period of operation of the business of either Company occurring prior to the Closing or (b) the failure of the Seller to perform any
of his or her covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement.
9.3 Indemnification
by Buyer. From and after the Closing, the Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and save the Seller and to the extent applicable,
the Seller’s Affiliates, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party” and
collectively the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses sustained or incurred
by any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of or otherwise by virtue of: (a) any breach of any of the representations and
warranties of Buyer contained in Article V and VI of this Agreement, (b) the failure of Buyer to perform any of its covenants or
obligations contained in this Agreement, and/or (c) the conduct and operations of each Company on or following the
Closing.
9.4 Indemnification Procedure.
(a)
If a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Article IX,
such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the other party (the
“Indemnifying Party”) of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the claim. In that regard, if any Action, Liability
or obligation shall be brought or asserted by any third party which, if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnity
pursuant to this Article IX (a “Third-Party
Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third-Party Claim in writing, specifying
the basis of such claim and the facts pertaining thereto,
and the Indemnifying Party, if the Indemnifying Party so elects, shall assume and control the defense thereof (and shall consult with
the Indemnified Party with respect thereto), including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and
the payment of all necessary expenses. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified
Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such action and to participate
in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnified
Party. All claims other than Third- Party Claims (a “Direct Claim”) may be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving
notice to the Indemnifying Party. Absent an emergency or other extenuating circumstance, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice
to the Indemnifying Party of such Direct Claim prior to taking any material actions to remedy such Direct Claim.
(b)
In no event shall the Indemnified Party pay or enter into any settlement of any claim or consent to any judgment with respect to
any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed) if such settlement or judgment would require the Indemnifying Party to pay any amount. The Indemnifying Party may enter into
a settlement or consent to any judgment without the consent of the Indemnified Party so long as (i) such settlement or judgment involves
monetary damages only and (ii) a term of the settlement or judgment is that the Person or Persons asserting such Third-Party Claim unconditionally
release all Indemnified Parties from all liability with respect to such claim; otherwise the consent of the Indemnified Party shall be
required in order to enter into any settlement of, or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to, any Third-Party Claim, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
9.5 Failure
to Give Timely Notice. A failure by an Indemnified Party to provide notice as provided in Section 9.4 will not affect the rights
or obligations of any Person except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any Person entitled to receive such
notice was damaged as a result of such failure to give timely notice. Nothing contained in this Section 9.5 shall be deemed to
extend the period for which Seller’s representations and warranties will survive Closing as set forth in Section 9.1
above.
9.6 Limit
on Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the liability of the Seller to the
Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 (but not with respect to (i) the
Fundamental Representations and (ii) the Seller’s covenants set forth in Section 2.3 (Adjustments to Purchase Price), Section
6.8 (Covenant not to Compete), (collectively, the “Fundamental Covenants”), in each case, for which recovery
shall not be so limited) is subject to the following limitations:
(a)
The Seller shall not, in the aggregate, be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses arising under Section 9.2
(other than with respect to (i) acts of fraud, (ii) the Fundamental Representations, or (iii) the Fundamental Covenants, in each case,
for which recovery shall not be so limited) to the extent that the amounts otherwise indemnifiable for such breaches exceeds $2,512,500.00.
(b)
The Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses arising under Section 9.2
(other than with respect to acts of fraud, willful misconduct or the breach of Fundamental Representations or
Fundamental Covenants, in each case, for which recovery shall not be so limited) until and unless the aggregate amounts indemnifiable
for such breaches exceeds $60,000. In the event the Buyer Indemnified Parties’
claim for Losses, in the aggregate, exceed $60,000, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to the entire amount of such Losses
back to the first dollar, provided that, except for fraud, willful misconduct or the breach of Fundamental Representations, which shall
be unlimited, the Seller’s liability for Losses shall be limited to $2,512,500.00.
(c)
The Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses arising under Section 9.2
unless the claim therefor is timely asserted.
(d)
Losses otherwise subject to indemnity hereunder will be calculated after application of any received insurance proceeds actually
received by the Indemnitee (net of costs of recovery).
9.7 Recoupment Under Working Capital Note.
(a)
If the Seller is obligated to indemnify the Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim in accordance
with this Article IX, the Buyer
may set-off the amount of such claim against the amounts due to the Seller under the Working Capital Note.
(b)
If the Buyer intends to set-off any amount hereunder, the Buyer shall provide not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written
notice to the Seller of its intention to do so, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor (a “Set-Off
Notice”). If, within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of a Set-Off Notice, the Seller provides the Buyer with written notice
of the Seller’s dispute with the Buyer’s right to make such set-off, the Buyer and the Seller (and their respective representatives
and advisors) shall meet (which may be accomplished telephonically) in good faith within five (5) days to attempt to resolve their dispute.
If such dispute remains unresolved despite the Buyer’s good faith attempt to meet with the Seller and resolve such dispute, the
Buyer may set-off under this Section 9.7 only
(a) with respect to those indemnification claims that have been Finally Determined (as defined below), (b) as described in Section 9.7(c)
relating to the payments due under the Working Capital Note or (c) with the prior written consent of the
Seller.
(c)
In the event of a dispute with respect to any indemnification claim against the Seller made in good faith pursuant to this Article
IX, and the liability for and amount of Adverse Consequences therefore, the Buyer may withhold any payments
due to the Seller under the Buyer Note, up to the disputed amount, but only if the Buyer deposits such withheld amounts into escrow account
with a mutually agreeable title company in Clark County, Nevada in accordance with a mutually agreed upon escrow agreement, provided that
if the parties cannot agree upon the terms of the escrow agreement or the escrow agent, the Buyer shall deposit the withheld payments
with a court of competent jurisdiction in Clark County, Nevada. For purposes of this Agreement, “Adverse Consequences”
means all actions, suits, proceedings, hearings, investigations, charges, complaints, claims, demands, injunctions, judgments, orders,
decrees, rulings, damages, dues, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities, obligations, taxes, liens, losses,
lost value, expenses, and fees, including court costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses. For purposes of this Agreement,
the term “Finally Determined” shall mean with respect to any indemnification claim made, and the liability for and
amount of Losses therefor, when the parties to such claim have so determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when a judgment has
been issued by a court or arbitral panel having proper jurisdiction.
9.8 Sole and Exclusive
Remedy. Except with respect to claims for specific performance or other equitable remedies and for claims based upon fraud, in
respect of any breach of any representations, warranties, covenant agreements or obligations required to be performed on or after
Closing pursuant to this Agreement, this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for Adverse Consequences of any
Indemnified Party and each Party waives all statutory, common law and other claims with respect thereto, other than claims for
indemnification under this Article IX from and after the Closing with respect to breaches of this Agreement. In addition, the Buyer
may only look to satisfy any indemnification claim against the Seller for Adverse Consequences as a set off to the Working Capital
Note and shall have no other right to recover damages for Adverse Consequences.
9.9 Payments.
Payments of all amounts owing by an Indemnifying Party under this Article IX shall be made promptly upon the determination in
accordance with this Article IX that an indemnification obligation is owing by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party.

PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED
STOCK AND MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of December 5, 2024 (the “Agreement”), among 1847 CMD Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer”) and Chris Day (the “Seller”).
BACKGROUND
The Buyer and the Seller entered
into a Stock and Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated November 4, 2024 (the “Original Agreement”).
Pursuant to the terms of the
Original Agreement, the Buyer was to close on the transaction described herein on or before December 3, 2024.
The Buyer failed to close
the transaction on or before December 3, 2024 and requested that Seller enter into this Agreement.
The Seller is the record and

Balance Sheet consistently applied including determining any taxes based upon the cash method of accounting and not the accrual basis
of accounting.

shall provide the Seller with a Note (the “Working Capital Note”), which Working Capital Note will be issued, at the
time the Closing Working Capital is finally determined, in an amount that is equal to the excess. ; If the Preliminary Working Capital
exceeds the Closing Working Capital, then the Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount that is equal to such excess on or before thirty (30)

shall pay off the Corporation Loans on or before the Closing Date and Buyer shall reimburse the Seller for such payment in readily available

by this reference.
(vi) In
the event the Seller does not agree with the Closing Working Capital as reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Seller shall
so inform the Buyer in writing within fifteen (15) Business Days of the Seller’s receipt thereof, such writing to set forth the
objections of the Seller in reasonable detail. If the Seller and the Buyer cannot reach agreement as to any disputed matter relating to
the Closing Working Capital within fifteen (15) Business Days after notification by the Seller to the Buyer of a dispute, they shall forthwith
refer the dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm mutually agreeable to the Seller and the Buyer for resolution, with the understanding
that such firm shall resolve all disputed items within forty-five (45) days after such disputed items are referred to it. If the Buyer
and the Seller are unable to agree on the choice of an Independent Accounting Firm, they shall select an Independent Accounting Firm by
lot. The Seller, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, shall bear one-half of the costs of such accounting firm. The decision
of the accounting firm with respect to all disputed matters relating to the Closing Working Capital shall be deemed final and conclusive
and shall be binding upon the Seller and the Buyer. In addition, if the Seller does not object to the Closing Working Capital within the
15-day period referred to above, the Closing Working Capital, as reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet as so prepared, shall be
deemed final and conclusive and binding upon the Seller and the Buyer.
(vii) The
Seller shall be entitled to have access to the books and records of the Companies and the Buyer’s work papers prepared in connection
with the Closing Date Balance Sheet and shall be entitled to discuss such books and records and work papers with the Buyer and those persons
responsible for the preparation thereof.
(b) Target
Working Capital Adjustment. If the Net Working Capital Target exceeds the Net Working Capital as set forth on the Preliminary Balance
Sheet, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced at the Closing. If the Net Working Capital as set forth on the Preliminary Balance Sheet
exceeds the Net Working Capital Target at Closing (the “Excess”), then the Purchase Price shall be increased by providing
the Working Capital Note by an amount equal to such Excess in accordance with Section 2.3(a)(iii).

to Seller $100,000 of the Extension Fee. The parties acknowledge and agree that $25,000 of the Extension Fee, which was wired to an account
believed to be, but not, owned or maintained by the Company, will be promptly paid to the Seller in the event Buyer or an affiliate receives
such $25,000. Since the Closing did not occur on or prior to November 1, 2024, the Extension Fee will not be applied to the Purchase Price.

Agent, and by the reciprocal delivery of closing documents by electronic mail, regular mail, fax or any other means mutually agreed upon

agree. Buyer understands that prior to the Closing the Seller shall cause the Companies to terminate all lines of credit of the Companies
(the “LOCs”) and such LOCs will not be an asset or liability of the Companies as of the Closing. Seller confirms that
terminating the LOCs will remove any obligation pursuant to the terms of such LOCs for the Companies to provide notices, or seek consents
or waivers, relating to the LOCs, prior to the Closing.

any business relationship to provide or purchase the same or substantially the same services as are provided to or purchased from the
Business which might harm the Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer. During the Noncompetition Period, the Seller shall not, on behalf of
any entity other than the Buyer or an Affiliate of the Buyer, hire or retain, or attempt to hire or retain, in any capacity any Person

of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific
words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable
and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable
as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. This Section 6.7 shall immediately terminate
and be of be further force and effect in the event of any uncured default under this Agreement, Purchase Note, the Working Capital Note
or in the event any payment otherwise due under this Agreement, the Purchase Note or the Working Capital Note is not paid when due, which
failure to pay shall include any failure to pay based upon any subordination clause whether in the Purchase Note, Working Capital Note
or otherwise.
6.9 Financial
Information. The Seller shall cooperate with the Buyer and the Buyer’s independent certified public accounting firm in order

(g) by
the Seller if the Buyer has breached its representations and warranties or any covenant or other agreement to be performed by it in a
manner such that the Closing conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b) would not be satisfied; provided that this Article VIII
shall not be applicable in the event this Agreement and the Closing occur simultaneously.
8.2 Effect
of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Seller or the Buyer as provided in Section 8.1, this
Agreement will forthwith become void and have no effect, without any Liability (other than with respect to any suit for breach of this
Agreement) on the part of the Buyer or the Seller (or any stockholder, agent, consultant or Representative of any such party); provided,
that the provisions of Sections 10.1, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.11, 10.13 and this Section 8.2 will survive any termination hereof pursuant
to Section 8.1.

At any time prior to the Closing, the Buyer may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the covenants, obligations or other

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION

The representations and warranties made herein and in any certificate delivered in connection herewith shall survive for a period of twelve

4.1 (Organization, Qualification and Corporate Power; Authority and Enforceability), 4.3 (Capitalization), 5.1 (Organization), 5.2 (Authorization),
and 5.3 (Noncontravention) of this Agreement (the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive for the applicable statute

period will control), all agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing and remain in effect until the
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.
9.2 Indemnification
by Seller. From and after the Closing, the Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and save Buyer and its Affiliates, stockholders, officers,
directors, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Buyer
Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, deficiencies, demands, claims, Actions, assessments,
losses, costs, expenses, interest, fines, penalties and damages (including fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants and costs of
investigation) (individually and collectively, the “Losses”) suffered, sustained or incurred by any Buyer Indemnified
Party arising out of or otherwise by virtue of: (a) any breach of any of the representations or warranties or covenants of the Seller
or concerning the Companies contained in Article III Article IV or Article VII of this Agreement (provided that such claim is timely brought
pursuant to Section 9.1), including liabilities relating to the period of operation of the business of either Company occurring prior
to the Closing or (b) the failure of the Seller to perform any of his or her covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement.
9.3 Indemnification
by Buyer. From and after the Closing, the Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and save the Seller and to the extent applicable, the
Seller’s Affiliates, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party” and collectively
the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses sustained or incurred by any Seller
Indemnified Party arising out of or otherwise by virtue of: (a) any breach of any of the representations and warranties of Buyer
contained in Article V and VI of this Agreement, (b) the failure of Buyer to perform any of its covenants or obligations contained
in this Agreement, and/or (c) the conduct and operations of each Company on or following the Closing.
9.4 Indemnification
Procedure.
(a) If
a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Article IX, such party (the “Indemnified
Party”) shall give written notice to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the facts and circumstances
giving rise to the claim. In that regard, if any Action, Liability or obligation shall be brought or asserted by any third party which,
if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnity pursuant to this Article IX (a “Third-Party Claim”),
the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third-Party Claim in writing, specifying the basis of such
claim and the facts pertaining thereto, and the Indemnifying Party, if the Indemnifying Party so elects, shall assume and control the
defense thereof (and shall consult with the Indemnified Party with respect thereto), including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all necessary expenses. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense
of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying
Party in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified
Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party. All claims other than Third-Party Claims (a “Direct Claim”)
may be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving notice to the Indemnifying Party. Absent an emergency or other extenuating circumstance,
the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of such Direct Claim prior to taking any material actions to
remedy such Direct Claim.
(b) In
no event shall the Indemnified Party pay or enter into any settlement of any claim or consent to any judgment with respect to any Third-Party
Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)
if such settlement or judgment would require the Indemnifying Party to pay any amount. The Indemnifying Party may enter into a settlement
or consent to any judgment without the consent of the Indemnified Party so long as (i) such settlement or judgment involves monetary damages
only and (ii) a term of the settlement or judgment is that the Person or Persons asserting such Third-Party Claim unconditionally release
all Indemnified Parties from all liability with respect to such claim; otherwise the consent of the Indemnified Party shall be required
in order to enter into any settlement of, or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to, any Third-Party Claim, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
9.5 Failure
to Give Timely Notice. A failure by an Indemnified Party to provide notice as provided in Section 9.4 will not affect the rights
or obligations of any Person except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any Person entitled to receive such notice
was damaged as a result of such failure to give timely notice. Nothing contained in this Section 9.5 shall be deemed to extend the period
for which Seller’s representations and warranties will survive Closing as set forth in Section 9.1 above.
9.6 Limit
on Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the liability of the Seller to the Buyer
Indemnified Parties with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 (but not with respect to (i) the Fundamental Representations
and (ii) the Seller’s covenants set forth in Section 2.3 (Adjustments to Purchase Price), Section 6.8 (Covenant not to Compete),
(collectively, the “Fundamental Covenants”), in each case, for which recovery shall not be so limited) is subject to
the following limitations:
(a) The
Seller shall not, in the aggregate, be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses arising under Section 9.2 (other than with respect
to (i) acts of fraud, (ii) the Fundamental Representations, or (iii) the Fundamental Covenants, in each case, for which recovery shall
not be so limited) to the extent that the amounts otherwise indemnifiable for such breaches exceeds $2,512,500.00.
(b) The
Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses arising under Section 9.2 (other than with respect to acts of fraud,
willful misconduct or the breach of Fundamental Representations or Fundamental Covenants, in each case, for which recovery shall not be
so limited) until and unless the aggregate amounts indemnifiable for such breaches exceeds $60,000. In the event the Buyer Indemnified
Parties’ claim for Losses, in the aggregate, exceed $60,000, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to the entire amount
of such Losses back to the first dollar, provided that, except for fraud, willful misconduct or the breach of Fundamental Representations,
which shall be unlimited, the Seller’s liability for Losses shall be limited to $2,512,500.00.
(c) The
Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses arising under Section 9.2 unless the claim therefor is timely asserted.
(d) Losses
otherwise subject to indemnity hereunder will be calculated after application of any received insurance proceeds actually received by
the Indemnitee (net of costs of recovery).
9.7 Recoupment
Under Working Capital Note.
(a) If
the Seller is obligated to indemnify the Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim in accordance with this
Article IX, the Buyer may set-off the amount of such claim against the amounts due to the Seller under the Working Capital Note.
(b) If
the Buyer intends to set-off any amount hereunder, the Buyer shall provide not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice
to the Seller of its intention to do so, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor (a “Set-Off Notice”).
If, within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of a Set-Off Notice, the Seller provides the Buyer with written notice of the Seller’s
dispute with the Buyer’s right to make such set-off, the Buyer and the Seller (and their respective representatives and advisors)
shall meet (which may be accomplished telephonically) in good faith within five (5) days to attempt to resolve their dispute. If such
dispute remains unresolved despite the Buyer’s good faith attempt to meet with the Seller and resolve such dispute, the Buyer may
set-off under this Section 9.7 only (a) with respect to those indemnification claims that have been Finally Determined (as defined below),
(b) as described in Section 9.7(c) relating to the payments due under the Working Capital Note or (c) with the prior written consent of
the Seller.
(c) In
the event of a dispute with respect to any indemnification claim against the Seller made in good faith pursuant to this Article IX, and
the liability for and amount of Adverse Consequences therefore, the Buyer may withhold any payments due to the Seller under the Buyer
Note, up to the disputed amount, but only if the Buyer deposits such withheld amounts into escrow account with a mutually agreeable title
company in Clark County, Nevada in accordance with a mutually agreed upon escrow agreement, provided that if the parties cannot agree
upon the terms of the escrow agreement or the escrow agent, the Buyer shall deposit the withheld payments with a court of competent jurisdiction
in Clark County, Nevada. For purposes of this Agreement, “Adverse Consequences” means all actions, suits, proceedings,
hearings, investigations, charges, complaints, claims, demands, injunctions, judgments, orders, decrees, rulings, damages, dues, penalties,
fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities, obligations, taxes, liens, losses, lost value, expenses, and fees, including court
costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Finally Determined” shall mean with
respect to any indemnification claim made, and the liability for and amount of Losses therefor, when the parties to such claim have so
determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when a judgment has been issued by a court or arbitral panel having proper jurisdiction.
9.8 Sole
and Exclusive Remedy. Except with respect to claims for specific performance or other equitable remedies and for claims based upon
fraud, in respect of any breach of any representations, warranties, covenant agreements or obligations required to be performed on or
after Closing pursuant to this Agreement, this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for Adverse Consequences of any Indemnified
Party and each Party waives all statutory, common law and other claims with respect thereto, other than claims for indemnification under
this Article IX from and after the Closing with respect to breaches of this Agreement. In addition, the Buyer may only look to satisfy
any indemnification claim against the Seller for Adverse Consequences as a set off to the Working Capital Note and shall have no other
right to recover damages for Adverse Consequences.
9.9 Payments.
Payments of all amounts owing by an Indemnifying Party under this Article IX shall be made promptly upon the determination in accordance
with this Article IX that an indemnification obligation is owing by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party.

6. Subordination.
All claims of the Lender to principal, interest and any other amounts at any time owed under this Note (collectively, “Junior Indebtedness”)
are hereby expressly made subject, subordinate, and junior to all Senior Indebtedness (as defined below). No payments shall be due under
this Note if an event of default exists under the Senior Indebtedness and in such case Lender shall not, directly or indirectly ask, demand,
sue for, take or receive from Borrower, and Borrower shall not remit, make or pay, directly or indirectly, in each case by setoff or in
any other manner (whether in cash, property, securities or other form), the whole or any part of any of the loan evidenced hereby, provided
that prior to such event of default, payments shall continue to be due under this Note. Upon the request of the Borrower or any holder
of Senior Indebtedness, the Lender shall confirm (in writing) the above subordination provisions and shall execute and deliver such additional
subordination agreements as any holder of Senior Indebtedness may reasonably require consistent with the provisions set forth above. For
purposes hereof, “Senior Indebtedness” means, the indebtedness under that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of October
8, 2021, by and among Borrower, certain of its affiliates, Leonite Capital LLC, as administrative agent (in such capacity, (the “Agent”),
and purchasers there under (“Purchasers”) (as amended the “Senior Debt”), all other indebtedness of the Borrower
or 1847 Holdings LLC (“Holdings”) or their affiliates, whether outstanding on the date of the execution of this Note or thereafter
created, to banks, insurance companies, other financial institutions, private equity funds, hedge funds or other similar funds, which
shall all be subordinate to the Senior Indebtedness, provided, solely with respect to indebtedness created after the date of this Note,
the instrument creating or evidencing such indebtedness provides that such indebtedness is to be senior in right of payment to this Note
and the Lender and the holder of the Senior Indebtedness agree upon a Subordination Agreement which shall be reasonably agreed to between
the Lender and the holder of the Senior Indebtedness. The foregoing shall be without prejudice to Purchasers right to request a Subordination
Agreement from Lender which shall be reasonably agreed to between the Lender and the holder of the Senior Indebtedness. Senior Indebtedness
shall also include indebtedness for taxes owed to federal or state agencies and other indebtedness that by operation of law has a right
that is senior to the Junior Indebtedness. In furtherance of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy proceeding, the Senior
Indebtedness (and among Senior Indebtedness, the Senior Debt) shall be paid in full first and Lender shall not object to any motion or
action by Agent and/or Purchasers or any other holder of senior Indebtedness. Any payment made by Borrower in violation of this Section
6 shall be held in trust by Lender for the benefit of Purchasers and other holders of senior Indebtedness, and shall be promptly delivered,
in kind, to Purchasers, to the extent necessary to pay in full all Senior Indebtedness (first the Senior Debt) in accordance with its
terms and after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to Purchasers and/or applicable other holders of senior Indebtedness.
Each holder of Senior Indebtedness, including but not limited to Agent and Purchasers shall be third party beneficiaries to this Section
6 with a vested interest (and the same shall not be modified in any way without their consent, in their respective sole and absolute discretion).
7.
Late Charge and Default Interest.
(a) If
any payment of Principal of Interest under this Note is past due by five (5) days or more, Lender will be entitled to collect, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, a late charge in an amount equal to 7.5% of the payment due (the “Late Charge”).
(b) A
default by Borrower (after the expiration of any applicable cure periods) shall cause the interest rate on all of the unpaid principal
of this Note, with interest accrued thereon, and other sums due to increase to Fifteen percent (15.0%) per annum which default rate Borrower
acknowledges is reasonable and shall be part of Lender’s liquidated damages and shall not be construed as a penalty and remain at
Fifteen percent (15.0%) until the Borrower “cures” a default and brings the Loan current.
8. Notice
of Default. If any payment is not received by the Lender within five (5) business days after the due date, the Lender or holder may
provide Borrower with written notice specifying the amount of the nonpayment and a reasonable deadline for which the missed payment must
be remitted, which reasonable period of time shall not exceed five (5) business days (a “Notice of Default”). Thereafter,
if the default is not cured within such time period, the nonpayment shall be deemed an Event of Default if the payment is remitted to
the Lender within the specified notice period.

the reasonable collection and enforcement of this Note. The undersigned and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties of this Note and all

Parties wish to perfect the Lender’s security interest and provide notice of the same to third parties by filing one or more financing
statements with the applicable Secretary of State.
NOW,
THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Security
Interest. To secure the timely payment of all principal, interest and other costs, fees and charges due by 1847 CMD under the Note
and the Purchase Agreement, each of the Grantors hereby grants to Lender a second priority security interest in the Collateral, together
with all proceeds and rights to payment therefrom. The security interest herein granted is expressly subordinated to the security interest
granted pursuant to the Senior Debt and Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Note to the extent, if requested, as set forth in a Subordination
Agreement reasonably acceptable to the Lender and the holder of the Senior Indebtedness).
2. Collateral.
As used herein the “Collateral” means the Assets, Chattel Paper, Accounts, General Intangibles, Accounts Receivable,
Deposit Accounts, Inventory, Fixtures, equipment, and Goods of the Grantors, and any and all claims, rights and interests in the same,
and all guaranties and security for any of the above, and all substitutions and replacements for, additions, accessions, attachments,
and improvements to, and Proceeds of, all of the above which in any way relate to the assets purchased and the business to be conducted
in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. All Capitalized terms set forth in this Paragraph 2 have the meaning set forth in the Uniform
Commercial Code as adopted by the State of Nevada or Delaware, as applicable (the “UCC”).
3. Term
of Agreement. This Agreement shall take effect upon the execution hereof, and shall automatically terminate, along with the security
interests granted herein, upon payment in full of all principal, interest (if any), and other monetary obligations due and owing to Lender
under the Note and all terms, conditions and obligations are completed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and thereafter all rights
of Lender to the Collateral will thereupon terminate and revert to the Grantors.
4. Default
Defined. A default shall be deemed to occur under this Agreement upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Default under the Note, the Guaranty or the Purchase Agreement.
5. Default.
Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, no remedy conferred upon or reserved to Lender is intended to be exclusive of any
other remedy. Each remedy is cumulative and in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement and/or by law. Exercise or omission
to exercise a right does not affect a subsequent right of Lender to exercise the same. Upon the happening of any of the events of default
described in this Agreement, the Lender may do any of the following, subject to Section 7 herein, the express terms of any subordination
provisions contained in the Note or in any Subordination Agreement with any holder of Senior Indebtedness:
(a) Exercise
all rights and remedies available to a secured creditor after default, including but not limited to the rights and remedies of secured
creditors under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Nevada or the State of Delaware, as applicable, and such other laws as may
from time to time exist, including without limitation, taking possession of the Collateral without process of law.
(c)
Upon demand by the Lender, Grantors shall assemble the Collateral and all records relating thereto and make it available to Lender at
such place as designated by Lender. Lender at its option may sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral in such manner as Lender determines
in its absolute discretion. In disposing of the Collateral, Lender may apply the proceeds thereof to the reasonable expenses of retaking,
holding, preparing for sale and selling the Collateral, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses with respect thereto
incurred by Lender, before applying such proceeds to the satisfaction of any indebtedness secured hereby. Grantors recognize that they
not entitled to any funds from the sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral until such indebtedness secured hereby and the
expenses and fees hereinabove referred to have first been satisfied.
6. Grantors’
Warranties and Representations. Grantors covenant, warrant and represent as follows:
(a) Grantors
are authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement. This Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of Grantors. This Agreement creates
a security interest enforceable against the Collateral.
(b)
Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the taking of any action in compliance with it, will: (i) violate or
breach any law, regulation, rule, order or judicial action, agreement to which Grantors are a party or (ii) result in the creation
of a lien against the Collateral except that created by this Agreement.
7. Senior
Debt. Lender hereby (i) acknowledges the existing Senior Indebtedness under that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of October
8, 2021, by and among 1847 Holdings LLC, certain of its affiliates, including Grantors, Leonite Capital LLC, as administrative agent
(in such capacity, (the “Agent”), and purchasers thereunder (“Purchasers”) (as amended the “Senior Debt”),
and (ii) expressly agrees that the Note and the security granted herein is subject, subordinate and junior in all respects to the Senior
Debt. In accordance with the foregoing, (i) Lender shall not record any UCC filings until Agent and Purchasers have filed UCC statements
against Grantors or attempt to otherwise have any perfected interest with priority to Agent and Purchasers. Lender agrees that so long
as any portion of the Senior Debt is outstanding, Lender hereby subordinates any and all claims Lender may have against any Grantor or
their affiliates to any claims Purchasers and their successors and assigns may have against such persons. So long as Grantor or any of
their affiliates are indebted to Purchasers or their successors and assigns, Lender will take no action whatsoever, under any circumstances,
whether judicially or non-judicially to exercise or enforce any rights or remedies which it may have with respect to any such person.
In the event of a conflict with this Section 7 and any other terms the Note, this Agreement or any related security agreement, this Section
7 shall govern. Agent and Purchasers shall be third party beneficiaries to this Section 7 with a vested interest (and the same shall
not be modified in any way without their consent, in their respective sole and absolute discretion).
8.
Miscellaneous.
(a) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of the Parties hereto.
(b) This
Agreement, together with the Purchase Agreement and the Note, contains the entire agreement of the Parties hereto with regard to the
subject matter herein, and this Agreement may only be modified by a writing executed by Grantors and Lender.
(c) No
waiver by Lender of any breach or default by Grantors under this Agreement will be a waiver of any breach or default occurring later.
A waiver will be valid only if it is in writing and signed by the Lender.
(d) This
Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada.
(e) This
Agreement, together with the Purchase Agreement and the Note, is the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes any prior agreement or understandings between the Parties hereto relating to the Collateral.

junior in all respects to the Senior Debt. In accordance with the foregoing, (i) Pledgee shall not attempt to have any perfected
interest with priority to Agent and Purchasers with respect to the Collateral. Pledgee agrees that so long as any portion of the
Senior Debt is outstanding, Pledgee hereby subordinates any and all claims Pledgee may have against any Pledgor or its affiliates to
any claims Purchasers and their successors and assigns may have against such persons. So long Pledgor or any of its affiliates are
indebted to Purchasers or their successors and assigns, Pledgee will take no action whatsoever, under any circumstances, whether
judicially or non-judicially to exercise or enforce any rights or remedies which it may have with respect to any such person. In the
event of a conflict with this Section 7 and any other terms the Note, The Guaranty, this Agreement or any related security
agreement, this Section 7 shall govern. Agent and Purchasers shall be third party beneficiaries to this Section 7 with a vested
interest (and the same shall not be modified in any way without their consent, in their respective sole and absolute
discretion).
8. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, the Guaranty, the Note, the Purchase Agreement and the other documents contemplated hereby, thereby
or incorporated herein or therein by reference, constitute the final written expression of all of the agreements between the
parties, and are the complete and exclusive statement of the terms thereof with the respect to the subject matter herein, which
supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations and understandings of the parties.
9. Modifications and
Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, modified, terminated or otherwise changed only upon the written consent of all of the
parties hereto.
10. Counterparts;
Delivery of Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original,
but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument; the counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic
mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other
transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and
effective for all purposes.
11. Application of
Nevada Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Nevada
applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state other than such laws, rules, regulations and case law

the state courts located in Clark County, Nevada.
12.
Attorneys’ Fees. Should any party reasonably retain counsel for the purpose of enforcing or preventing breach of any
provision of this Agreement, including instituting any action or proceeding to enforce any provision of this Agreement, for damages
by reason of any alleged breach of any provision of this Agreement, for a declaration of such party’s rights or obligations
under this Agreement, or for any other judicial remedy, then, if the matter is settled by judicial determination or arbitration, the
prevailing party (whether at trial, on appeal, or arbitration) shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be
granted, to be reimbursed by the losing party for all costs and expenses incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs for services rendered to the prevailing party or parties. If both parties are entitled to judgments or arbitration awards, the
party with the larger judgment or arbitration award shall be deemed the prevailing party for purposes of the immediately preceding
sentence.

THE ADVICE OF INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF ITS OWN CHOOSING WITH RESPECT TO THE ADVISABILITY OF EXECUTING AND ENTERING INTO THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE LEGAL EFFECT OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT. The parties hereto therefore stipulate and agree that the rule of
construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be or may be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the
interpretation of the Agreements to favor any party against another.
14. Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application thereof shall not be affected and shall be
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, to the extent that
any provision (or portion thereof) of this Agreement is shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable to any extent, this Agreement
shall be considered amended to the smallest degree possible in order to make the Agreement effective under the Act or common law.
The balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Exhibit 10.9
GUARANTY
This Guaranty,
dated as of December 16, 2024 (this “Guaranty”), is made by 1847 Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”),
CMD, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“CMD”) and CMD Finish Carpentry LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Finish”)
(collectively, the “Guarantors” and each individually, a “Guarantor”), in favor of The CD Trust, dated October
18, 2021 (“Lender”).
WHEREAS, 1847
CMD Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), has entered into that certain Amended and Restated Stock and Membership
Interest Purchase Agreement dated as of December 5, 2024 with Lender (the “Purchase Agreement”);
WHEREAS, pursuant
to Section 2.2(c) of the Purchase Agreement, the Borrower is required to deliver to Lender a promissory note of even date herewith in
the principal amount of One Million Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,050,000) (the “Note”); and
WHEREAS, Borrower
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guarantor, and CMD and Finish are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Borrower; and
WHEREAS, as
a condition to Lender entering into the Purchase Agreement and in order to induce Lender to extend credit to Borrower under the Note,
Guarantors have agreed to execute and deliver this Guaranty.
NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the agreements and covenants contained herein, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Guaranteed
Indebtedness. Guarantors hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, guarantee to Lender the full and
prompt payment, performance, observance, compliance, and satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereinafter defined). As used
herein, “Guaranteed Obligations” includes all indebtedness on the part of the Borrower to be paid, performed, observed,
complied with, or satisfied, as and when due under the Note and/or the Purchase Agreement. In the event of any material uncured default
by the Borrower in the payment, observance, compliance, satisfaction, or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantors
shall promptly pay and perform the same, upon demand. Guarantors agree and acknowledge that this Guaranty shall be unconditional and absolute,
and is a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely a guaranty of collection. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantors and
shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by any Guarantor.
2. Payment
of Indebtedness. Payment shall be made in any coin or currency which at the time of payment is legal tender in the United States
of America for public and private debts. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the payment by Guarantors of any amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall not entitle Guarantors to any right, title or interest (whether by law or by way of subrogation or
otherwise) in and to the Guaranteed Obligations or any proceeds thereof, or any security therefor. As to the obligation arising
hereunder, Guarantors shall not be deemed “creditors” of the Borrower as defined in the United States Bankruptcy
Code.
3. Subordination.
All claims of the Lender to any amounts at any time owed under this Guaranty (collectively, “Junior Indebtedness”) are hereby
expressly made subject, subordinate, and junior to all Senior Indebtedness (as defined below). No payments shall be due under this Guaranty
if an event of default exists under the Senior Indebtedness and in such case Lender shall not, directly or indirectly ask, demand, sue
for, take or receive from Guarantors, and Guarantors shall not remit, make or pay, directly or indirectly, in each case by setoff or in
any other manner (whether in cash, property, securities or other form), the whole or any part of any amount due hereunder, provided that
prior to such event of default, payments may continue to be made under this Guaranty. Upon the request of the Guarantors or any holder
of Senior Indebtedness, the Lender shall confirm (in writing) the above subordination provisions and shall execute and deliver such additional
subordination agreements as any holder of Senior Indebtedness may reasonably require consistent with the provisions set forth above. For
purposes hereof, “Senior Indebtedness” means, the indebtedness under that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of October
8, 2021, by and among Borrower, certain of its affiliates, Leonite Capital LLC, as administrative agent (in such capacity, (the “Agent”),
and purchasers there under (“Purchasers”) (as amended the “Senior Debt”), all other indebtedness of the Borrower
or 1847 Holdings LLC (“Holdings”) or their affiliates, whether outstanding on the date of the execution of this Note or thereafter
created, to banks, insurance companies, other financial institutions, private equity funds, hedge funds or other similar funds, which
shall all be subordinate to the Senior Indebtedness. The foregoing shall be without prejudice to Purchasers’ right to request a
Subordination Agreement from Lender which shall be reasonably agreed to between the Lender and the holder of the Senior Indebtedness.
Senior Indebtedness shall also include indebtedness for taxes owed to federal or state agencies and other indebtedness that by operation
of law has a right that is senior to the Junior Indebtedness. In furtherance of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy proceeding,
the Senior Indebtedness (and among Senior Indebtedness, the Senior Debt) shall be paid in full first and Lender shall not object to any
motion or action by Agent and/or Purchasers or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness. Any payment made by Guarantors in violation of
this Section 3 shall be held in trust by Lender for the benefit of Purchasers and other holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall be promptly
delivered, in kind, to Purchasers, to the extent necessary to pay in full all Senior Indebtedness (first the Senior Debt) in accordance
with its terms and after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to Purchasers and/or applicable other holders of Senior
Indebtedness. Each holder of Senior Indebtedness, including but not limited to Agent and Purchasers, shall be third party beneficiaries
to this Section 3 with a vested interest (and the same shall not be modified in any way without their consent, in their respective sole
and absolute discretion).
4. Subrogation.
To the extent permitted by Nevada law, and until all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, Guarantors shall have no right of
subrogation and waive any right to enforce any remedy which Lender now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower and any benefit
of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Lender.
5. Waiver.
Each Guarantor specifically and knowingly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (a) any defense that may arise by
reasons of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of, or revocation hereof by any other or others; and (b) demand, protest,
and notice of any other kind including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notice of the existence, creation, or incurring
of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non- action on the part of the Borrower, Lender, any endorser,
Guarantor under this or any other instrument or creditor of the Borrower, or any other person whomever, in connection with any Guaranteed
Obligation or evidence thereof.
6. Application
of Payments. With or without notice to Guarantors, Lender, in his sole discretion, may (a) apply any or all payments or recoveries
from the Borrower or from any Guarantor in such manner and order or priority as set forth under the terms of the Note and/or the Purchase
Agreement; and (b) refund to the Borrower any payment received by Lender upon any Guaranteed Obligation, and payment of the amount refunded
shall be fully guaranteed hereby.
7. Fraudulent
or Preferential Transfers. The Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty shall include any monies or value of any property which Lender
receives in payment or discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations and returns or relinquishes, voluntarily or involuntarily, to the Borrower
or its representatives or assigns pursuant to any federal or state any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor
relief law, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder pertaining to the return of monies or property as a fraudulent or preferential
transfer or otherwise and Lender’s right hereunder shall be revived and reinstated, and the enforceability of this Guaranty shall
continue as to any amount paid on account of the Guaranteed Obligations that is required to be so restored or returned by Lender. It is
the intention of the parties hereto that Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantors’ performance
of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.
8. Exclusiveness.
The amount of Guarantors’ liability and all rights, powers and remedies of the Lender hereunder, and under any other agreement now
or at any time hereafter in force between the Lender and Guarantors relating to any indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender, shall
be cumulative and not alternative, and such rights, powers and remedies shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given
to Lender by law. This Guaranty is in addition to and exclusive of the guaranty of any other guarantor of any indebtedness of the Borrower
to the Lender or any other guaranty of Guarantors in favor of Lender.
9. Both
Spouses’ Community Property Bound. Any married person who signs this Guaranty acknowledges that, under Nevada Revised Statutes Section
123.230, his or her signature will subject the entire community property estate of both spouses and the separate property of the signing
spouse to execution for the obligation under this Guaranty.
10. Entire
Agreement. This instrument is intended by Guarantors and Lender as a final expression of this Guaranty and supersedes any and all
prior commitments, agreements, representations and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof. This
Guaranty is intended as a complete and exclusive statement of its terms and no course of dealing between Guarantors and Lender, no course
of performance, no trade practices or usage, and no parole evidence of any nature, shall be used to contradict, vary, supplement or modify
any terms hereof. There are no oral agreements between Guarantors and Lender. There are no conditions to the full effectiveness of this
Guaranty.
11. Enforcement
Costs. Guarantors agree to pay to Lender, without demand, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all costs and other expenses which
Lender expends or incurs in enforcing this Guaranty in any action or proceeding, whether or not suit is filed, and including reasonable
fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with bankruptcy and appellate proceedings (“Enforcement Costs”). The Guaranteed
Obligations shall include the Enforcement Costs.
12. Heirs
and Successors. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of Lender, his successors and assigns, including the assignees of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations, and shall bind the successors and assigns of Guarantors. This Guaranty shall automatically inure to the benefit
of, and be enforceable by, any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
13. Gender
and Number. As used herein, when the context requires such an interpretation, the singular includes the plural and vice versa, and
the neuter gender includes the masculine and feminine.
14. Applicable
Law. This Guaranty shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada. This Guaranty shall constitute
the entire agreement between Guarantors and Lender with respect to the subject matter hereof and no representation, understanding, promise
or condition concerning the subject matter hereof shall be binding upon the parties hereto unless expressed herein. Each Guarantor hereby
consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada.
15. Severability.
In the event any provision herein is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, illegal or invalid for any reason,
such enforceability, illegality or invalidity shall not otherwise affect this Guaranty.
16. WAIVER
OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY KNOWLINGLY, VOLUNTARILY
AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION, CLAIM, DEMAND, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS (A) GUARANTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE MODIFICATION THEREOF
OR (B) THE DEALINGS OF LENDER, BORROWER, AND GUARANTORS, OR ANY OF THEM, WITH RESPECT TO THE NOTE, THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, OR ANY COURSE
OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING OR STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), IN EACH CASE WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL
OR EQUITABLE THEORY OR PRINCIPLE. AS OF THE DATE HEREOF, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO CERTIFIES TO THE OTHER PARTY THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE,
AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUCH
LEGAL ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LENDER HAS BEEN
INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE NOTE AND THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 16.
THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREE AND CONSENT THAT ANY SUCH LEGAL ACTION, CLAIM, DEMAND, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE DECIDED
BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT LENDER OR ANY GUARANTOR MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR COPY OF THIS SECTION 16 WITH ANY
COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE PARTIES’ WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY SET FORTH HEREIN.
17. Representations
and Warranties. Holdings hereby represents, warrants, and covenants for itself and the other Guarantors that: (a) Holdings has a
financial interest in Borrower and will derive a material and substantial benefit, directly or indirectly, from the Note and Purchase
Agreement to Borrower and from the making of this Guaranty by Holdings and the other Guarantors are subsidiaries of Holdings and will
derive a benefit from this Guaranty; (b) this Guaranty is duly authorized and valid, and is binding upon and enforceable against Guarantors;
(c) to the best of Holdings’ knowledge, Holdings is not, and the execution, delivery and performance by Holdings of this
Guaranty will not cause Holdings to be, in violation of or in default with respect to any law or in default (or at risk of acceleration
of indebtedness) under any agreement or restriction by which Holdings is bound; and (d) there is no litigation pending or, to the knowledge
of Holdings, threatened by or before any tribunal against or materially affecting Holdings. (e) after giving effect to this Guaranty,
Holdings is solvent, is not engaged in business or a transaction for which the property of Holdings is an unreasonably small capital,
and has not incurred debts that will be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature; and (f) Holdings has read and fully understands
the provisions contained in the Note and the Purchase Agreement. Holdings’ representations, warranties and covenants are a material
inducement to Lender to enter into the Note and Purchase Agreement and shall survive the execution hereof and any bankruptcy, foreclosure,
transfer of security or other event affecting Borrower, Guarantors, any other party, or any security for all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations.
18. No
Waiver by Lender. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Lender, any right hereunder shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right. The rights of Lender hereunder shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law. No modification or waiver of any
provision of this Guaranty, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall
extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver by Lender of the
right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand.
19. Notice.
All notices, consents or communications contemplated hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given if
sent by electronic copy, hand delivery, overnight courier or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the parties at the addresses
specified herein.
20. Amendment.
This Guaranty may be amended only by an instrument in writing executed by the parties hereto.
21. Counterparts.
To facilitate execution, this Guaranty may be executed in as many counterparts as may be convenient or required. It shall not be necessary
that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart.
All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Guaranty to produce
or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto. Any
signature page to any counterpart may be detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect of the signatures thereon and
thereafter attached to another counterpart identical thereto except having attached to it additional signature pages.
22. Security.
This Guaranty shall be secured by Holdings with a Stock Pledge in the Borrower to be entered into on even date herewith and the assets
of the Guarantors pursuant to a Security Agreement to be entered into between CMD, Finish and Lender of even date herewith.

costs. The exact amount of such costs is impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs may include, but are not limited
to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed encumbering
the Premises. Therefore, if Landlord does not receive any Rent payment within five (5) days after it becomes due, Tenant shall pay Landlord

estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment.

shall provide the Tenant with a good faith estimate of Tenant’s projected annual fees for trash or refuse removal and sewer fees.

days after Landlord has received notice from Tenant stating the date the installation of the alterations is to commence so that Landlord
can post and record an appropriate notice of non-responsibility.
(c)
All alterations, additions, and improvements will be accomplished in a good and workmanlike manner and in conformity with all applicable
laws and regulations. Landlord’s approval of the plans, specifications and working drawings for Tenant’s structural alterations
shall create no responsibility for liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design, sufficiency, or compliance with all
laws, rules and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities. Upon completion of the construction of any structural improvements,
Tenant shall provide Landlord with “as built” plans, copies of all construction contracts, and proof of payment for all labor
and materials.
Section 6.06 Condition upon Termination
Upon the
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean and in substantially the same condition as received
except for ordinary wear and tear which Tenant was not otherwise obligated to remedy under any provision of this Lease. In addition, Landlord
may require Tenant to remove any alterations, additions or improvements installed by Tenant after the Commencement Date (the “Tenant
Work”) (whether or not made with Landlord’s consent) by giving written notice to Tenant at the time Landlord approves such
alteration, addition or improvement or, if no approval was required, no less than ninety (90) days before the Expiration Date, and to
restore the Premises to its prior condition, all at Tenant’s expense. All alterations, additions and improvements shall become Landlord’s
property and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon the termination of the Lease, except that Tenant may remove any of Tenant’s machinery,
equipment, personal property and trade fixtures. Tenant shall repair, at Tenant’s expense, any damage to the Premises caused by
the removal of any such machinery, equipment, personal property and trade fixtures. In no event, however, shall Tenant remove any of.

ARTICLE SEVEN
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
Section 7.01 Damage to Property
If
the Building, or any material part thereof, shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Landlord. In case the Building shall be so damaged that substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall,
in Landlord’s reasonable opinion after consultation with Tenant, be required or in the event any mortgagee of Landlord’s should
require that the insurance proceeds payable as a result of a casualty be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt or in the event
of any material uninsured loss to the Building, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease by notifying the Tenant in writing
of such termination within ninety (90) days after the date of such casualty. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease,
Landlord shall commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building to substantially the same condition in which
it was immediately prior to the occurrence of the casualty, except that Landlord’s obligation to restore shall not exceed the scope
of the work required to be done by Landlord in originally constructing the Building and installing improvements in the Building, nor
shall Landlord be required to spend for such work an amount in excess of the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord as a
result of the casualty. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of
Tenant resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof. Until such repairs and restoration are completed, all Rent is
abated in proportion to the portion of the Building which is untenantable or inaccessible by Tenant in the conduct of its business.
In the event Landlord is unable to complete all repair and restoration within three hundred sixty-five (365) after the date of such
fire or casualty, Tenant may terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord. If any such damage causes any portion of the
Building to become unusable or inaccessible by Tenant in the conduct of its business during the last year of the then existing Term
of this Lease, either Landlord or Tenant may, on thirty (30) days’ notice to the other, terminate this Lease.
ARTICLE EIGHT
CONDEMNATION
Section 8.01 Condemnation
If the whole
or substantially the whole of the Building or the Premises should be taken for any public or quasi-public use, by right of eminent domain
or otherwise or should be sold in lieu of condemnation, then, this Lease shall terminate as of the date when physical possession of the
Building or the Premises is taken by the condemning authority. If less than the whole or substantially the whole of the Building or the
Premises is thus taken or sold, Landlord or Tenant (whether or not the Premises are affected thereby) may terminate this Lease by giving
written notice thereof to the non-terminating party; in which event this Lease shall terminate as of the date when physical possession
of such portion of the Building or Premises is taken by the condemning authority. If the Lease is not so terminated upon any such taking
or sale, the Rent payable hereunder shall be diminished by an equitable amount, and Landlord shall, to the extent Landlord deems feasible,
restore the Building and the Premises to substantially their former condition, but such work shall not exceed the scope of the work done
by Landlord in originally constructing the Building and installing, building standard improvements in the Premises, nor shall Landlord
in any event be required to spend for such work an amount in excess of the amount received by Landlord as compensation for such taking.
Each party my prove their respective claims in a taking based upon its interests (including easement interests) in the property taken,
with Landlord being entitled to claim and recover from the condemning authority an award for its fee interest in the Premises or other
area taken, and Tenant being entitled to claim and recover from the condemning authority a separate award for loss of Tenant’s leasehold
interest, whether by separate action or by joining any such action o which Landlord is a party (as allowed by applicable law) any leasehold
improvements made by Tenant to the Premises at its own expense, loss of goodwill and moving expenses, and for or on account or any cost
or loss incurred in removing Tenant’s merchandise, furniture, fixtures and equipment. If temporary use of the whole or any part
of the Premises is taken, Tenant shall receive (and Landlord shall remit to Tenant) that potion of award made for the benefit of Tenant
as set forth herein. Tenant shall be entitled to its share of such award without regard to whether this Lease is terminated.
ARTICLE NINE
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Section 9.01 Landlord’s Consent Required
(a)
Except for a Permitted Transfer, as defined below, no portion of the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease may be
acquired by any other person or entity, whether by assignment, mortgage, sublease, transfer, operation of law, or act of Tenant, without
Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any attempted transfer
without consent shall be void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary,
Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, without the prior consent of Landlord (a “Permitted Transfer”),
to (a) an Affiliate (as defined below) of Tenant, (b) an entity into which Tenant is merged, consolidated or converted (or the resulting
entity in any merger of any other entity into or with Tenant), or (c) to an entity to which fifty percent (50%) or more of Tenant’s
assets are transferred (each, a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, however, (a) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice
of such Permitted Transfer prior to such Permitted Transfer or, if the Permitted Transfer is subject to a confidentiality or nondisclosure
agreement, as soon thereafter as reasonably practical, (b) the Permitted Transferee must carry on the same use from the Premises as Tenant
and (c) Tenant shall remain liable under the terms of the Lease. As used herein, (1) the term “Affiliate” means any person
or entity controlled by, under common control with, or which controls, the Tenant, and (2) the term “control” means the possession,
directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the entity referred to, whether
through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and the terms “controlling” and “controls” have
meanings correlative to the foregoing.
Section 9.02 Landlord’s Election
Tenant’s
request for consent to any transfer described in Section 9.01 above shall be accompanied by a written statement setting forth the details
of the proposed transfer, including the name, business and financial condition of the prospective transferee, and financial details of
the proposed transfer (e.g., the term of and rent and security deposit payable under any assignment or sublease). Landlord shall have
the right in Landlord’s reasonable discretion (a) to withhold consent; or (b) to grant consent. Tenant shall provide adequate financial
information with respect to both Tenant and the assignee or sublessee and such other information as Landlord reasonably requires. If Landlord
consents to any assignment or sublease and Tenant receives rent or other consideration, either initially or over the term of the assignment
or sublease, in excess of the Rent called for hereunder, or, in case of the sublease of a portion of the Premises, in excess of such Rent
fairly allocable to such portion (“Profits”), then Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, promptly after
its receipt, fifty percent (50%) of such Profits.
Section 9.03 No Release of Tenant
Except as
provided in this Section 9.03, no transfer consented to by Landlord, shall release Tenant or change Tenant’s primary liability to
pay the rent and to perform all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Any permitted assignee or sub-tenant shall, at Landlord’s
option, attorn to Landlord and shall pay all Rent directly to Landlord. Consent to one transfer shall not constitute a consent to any
subsequent transfer. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or modifications of this Lease by Tenant’s transferee, without
notifying Tenant or obtaining its consent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall be released from its primary
liability to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease upon the assignment of by Tenant of all of its
right, title and interest in and to this Lease to an assignee with a net worth equal to or exceeding Tenant as measured as of the effective
date of such assignment.
Section 9.04 No Merger
The voluntary
or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation of the Lease, or a termination by Landlord as permitted by the terms
of this Lease, shall not work as a merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subtenancies or may, at
the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to a Landlord of any of the subtenancies.
ARTICLE TEN
DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
Section 10.01 Covenants and Conditions

and conditions.
Section 10.02 Defaults
Tenant shall be in material default under
this Lease:
(a) If Tenant abandons the Premises or if Tenant vacates the Premises for thirty (30) consecutive days;
(b)
If Tenant fails to pay Rent or any other charge required to be paid by Tenant, as and when due, and such failure continues for
more than five (5) business days after receipt of written notice from Landlord;
(c)
If Tenant fails to perform any of Tenant’s, non-monetary obligations under this Lease
for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord; provided that if more than twenty (20) days are required to complete
such performance, Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant commences such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently pursues its completion;
(d)
(i) If Tenant makes a general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; if a petition for adjudication of
bankruptcy or for reorganization or rearrangement is filed by or against Tenant and is not dismissed within ninety (90) days; (ii) if
a trustee or receiver is appointed to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s
interest in this Lease and possession is not restored to Tenant within ninety (90) days; or (iii) if substantially all of Tenant’s
assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease is subjected to attachment, execution or other judicial seizure
which is not discharged within ninety (90) days;
(e)
If Tenant defaults under the terms and conditions of any other leases between Tenant and any affiliate of Landlord including but
not limited to the lease between Tenant and CD Gowan LLC, a Nevada limited liability company for : 2421 East Gowan Road, North Las Vegas,
Nevada 89030;
(f)
If Tenant or any Guarantor defaults under the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement or any of the agreements referenced
therein; or
(g)
Any representation or warranty made by Tenant this Lease shall have been false or misleading in any material respect as of the
date such representation or warranty was made.
Section 10.03 Remedies
On the occurrence of any default
by Tenant after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand except
as may be required by applicable law, and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have, Landlord
may:
(a)
Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and
Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant
all actual damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default, including without limitation (i) the worth at the time of
the award of the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which had been earned at the time of the termination; (ii) the worth
at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which would have been earned after
termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(iii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which would have
been paid for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have
been reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s
failure to perform its obligations under the Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things would
be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, any reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by Landlord
in maintaining or preserving the Premises after such default, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting,
including necessary repair, Landlord’s reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in connection therewith, and any unamortized
real estate commission paid or payable, to the extent applicable to the remainder of the Lease Term. As used in subparts (i) and (ii)
above, the “worth at the time of the award” is computed by allowing interest on unpaid amounts at the rate of ten percent
(10%) or such lesser amount as may then be the maximum lawful rate, accruing the date such payments are due until paid. Notwithstanding
anything contained above to the contrary, in no event shall Tenant be liable to Landlord hereunder for speculative, special or punitive
damages. As used in subpart (iii) above, the “worth at the time of the award” is computed by discounting such amount at the
discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus five percent (5%);
(b)
Maintain Tenant’s right to possession, in which ease this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant shall have
abandoned the Premises. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease,
including the right to recover Rent as it becomes due hereunder. Landlord’s election to maintain Tenant’s right to possession
shall not prejudice Landlord’s right, at any time thereafter to terminate Tenant’s right to possession and proceed in accordance
with Section 10.03(a) above;
(c)
Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the State of Nevada.
(d) Cumulative Remedies
Landlord’s exercise
of any right or remedy shall not prevent it from exercising any other right or remedy.
Section 10.04 Landlord’s Default
Landlord
shall be in default of this Lease (a “Landlord Default”) if Landlord fails to perform any term, covenant or condition of
Landlord under this Lease and fails to cure such default within a period of thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of
notice from Tenant specifying such default or, if the default specified by Tenant is not capable of cure within such thirty (30) day
period, if Landlord fails after notice from Tenant to commence to cure such default within a period of thirty (30) days and to
diligently pursue completion of such cure. Any recovery by Tenant is limited to the Landlord’s interest in the Building.
Notwithstanding anything contained above to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant hereunder for
consequential, speculative, special or punitive damages.

this Lease shall be deemed prior to the mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to
the date of the mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, or the date of recording of it. Any such subordination contemplated
hereunder shall be under the express condition that Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written non-disturbance agreement from the

subordinate is foreclosed or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is given to the mortgagee or beneficiary, Tenant shall attorn to the
purchaser at the foreclosure sale or to the grantee under the deed in lieu of foreclosure. If any ground lease to which this Lease

is subordinate is terminated, this Lease shall not be barred, terminated, cut off, or foreclosed. Neither shall the rights and
possession of Tenant under this Lease be disturbed, if Tenant is not then in default in the payment of rental and other sums due
under this Lease or otherwise in default under the terms of this Lease in each case beyond the expiration of any applicable notice
and cure period, and if Tenant attorns to the purchaser, grantee, or ground lessor as provided in this Section 11.01. Tenant’s

herewith (the “Lease”) for the real property described as 4485 Delancey Drive and 4495 Delancey Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89103,
Las Vegas, Nevada 89030 (the “Premises”) with 1847 CMD Inc, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), 1847 Holdings LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), CMD Inc., a Nevada corporation (“CMD”) and CMD Finish Carpentry
LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Finish”) (Holdings, CMD and Finish are collectively referred to herein as the “Guarantors”
and individually as a “Guarantor), agrees, jointly and severally, as follows:
1.
Guarantors absolutely and unconditionally guarantee the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of the provisions and covenants
on the part of Tenant to be performed under the Lease within the time and in accordance with the terms of the Lease (collectively referred
to as “Tenant Obligations”) including the payment of all amounts required to be paid by Tenant under the terms of the Lease.
If Tenant holds over beyond the term of the Lease, Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall extend and apply with respect to the
full and faithful performance and observation of all of the covenants, terms and conditions of the Lease during such holdover.
2.
This is a continuing guarantee and, by this instrument, Guarantors guarantee the prompt payment and performance of any and all
Tenant Obligations which may now or hereafter exist or accrue from Tenant to Landlord under the Lease.
3.
Guarantors expressly waive: (a) any defense based upon any legal disability to enter into the Lease or other defense of Tenant;
(b) any defense based on any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of
Guarantors or any principal of a Guarantor, or any defect in the formation of any Guarantor or any principal of a Guarantor ; (c) any
and all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Landlord, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial
foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed any Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement
against the principal; (d) any defense based upon Landlord’s failure to disclose to a Guarantor any information concerning Tenant’s financial
condition or any other circumstances bearing on Tenant’s ability to perform its obligations under the Lease; (e) any defense based upon
any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more
burdensome than that of a principal; (f) any defense based on Tenant’s being subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, or upon any grant of
a security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (g) any right of subrogation, any right to enforce any remedy which
Landlord may have against Tenant and any right to participate in, or benefit from, any security under the Lease now or hereafter held
by Landlord; and (h) any proof of default by Tenant, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, presentment, demand, protest and notice of
any kind. Guarantors agree that payment or performance of any act which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to the Lease shall
similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to any Guarantor’s liability hereunder. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, Guarantors expressly waive to the extent permitted by law any and all rights and defenses
which might otherwise be available to a Guarantor under Nevada law. Guarantors expressly agree, without Landlord first having to proceed
against Tenant or exhausting any security held by Landlord or a Guarantor or pursuing any other available remedy, to pay on demand all
sums due and to become due to Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default under the Lease. Guarantors agree that each Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder are independent of the obligations of Tenant and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor
to collect the full amount hereby guaranteed, or any portion thereof, whether action is instituted against Tenant or any other person
or guarantor for such obligations and whether or not Tenant be joined in any such action or actions.
4.
Landlord may, without notice and without affecting the liability of any Guarantor, from time to time: (a) modify in any form and
in any manner, any of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease, including without limitation an increase in Minimum Rent and/or Tenant’s
Pro Rata Share of Common Area Operating Expenses to the extent allowed under the terms of the Lease, the renewal or extension of the Term
of the Lease, the addition of space to the Premises, the acceleration or alteration of the time of performance of Tenant Obligations and
other charges, or the change of any other terms of the Lease agreed to in writing by Tenant; (b) take and hold security for the payment
of this Guaranty or the obligations guaranteed and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or any part thereof; and (c)
apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereon as Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine.
5.
Guarantors hereby expressly waive and relinquishes Guarantors’ right of subrogation to any remedy Landlord may otherwise
have had against Tenant, and the right of reimbursement against Tenant for payment of Tenant Obligations or any part thereof, until all
Tenant Obligations owed to Landlord have been paid in full or performed in full, as the case may be. Guarantors further waive and relinquishes
the right to assert a defense based upon Landlord’s election of remedies, including the loss or destruction of such rights of subrogation
and reimbursement in any action instituted by Landlord against any Guarantor on this Guaranty.
6.
Guarantors hereby absolutely subordinate, both in right of payment and in time of payment, any present or future indebtedness of
Tenant or its stockholders, partners, or members, as the case may be, to any Guarantor, to Tenant Obligations to Landlord. If, upon Landlord’s
request, any Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive payment from Tenant upon any Tenant Obligations or from its stockholders, partners,
or members, as the case may be, any such sums shall be received by such Guarantor as trustee for Landlord and shall be paid over to Landlord
on account of Tenant Obligations to Landlord, without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Guarantor under the other
provisions of this Guaranty except to the extent such amounts reduce the amounts due under the terms of the Lease.
7.
This Guaranty and any security for this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time any payment or performance of any Tenant Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be required to be returned by Landlord upon the
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Tenant or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not occurred.
8. No Guarantor shall have any authority to revoke this Guaranty.
9.
If any Guarantor shall file in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law, all claims
which such Guarantor may have against Tenant or its stockholders, partners, or members, as the case may be, relating to any indebtedness
of Tenant or its stockholders, partners, or members, as the case may be, all rights of any Guarantor shall be assigned to Landlord. In
all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay, and
all Guarantors do hereby authorize such person or persons to pay to Landlord the amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent
necessary for that purpose the Guarantors hereby assigns to Landlord all of such Guarantor’s rights to any such payments or distributions
to which such Guarantor would otherwise be entitled to the extent of the amounts due by Tenant under the terms of the Lease.

interest in the Premises.
Section 4.02 Personal Property and Real Estate
Taxes
(a) Tenant
shall pay all taxes charged against trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment or any other personal property, belonging to Tenant (“Tenant’s
Personal Property”). Tenant shall use its best efforts to have Tenant’s Personal Property taxed separately from the Premises.
(b) If any
of Tenant’s Personal Property is taxed with the Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord the taxes for the personal property within fifteen
(15) days after Tenant receives a written statement from Landlord for such taxes attributable to Tenant’s Personal Property. Notwithstanding
anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to contest or object to the amount or validity of any taxes on Tenant’s
Personal Property by appropriate legal proceedings pursued diligently and in good faith. Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed to require
Tenant to pay, or cause to be paid, any taxes on Tenant’s Personal Property so long as Tenant is in good faith and by proper legal
proceedings, where appropriate, diligently contesting the validity, amount or application thereof, provided that such contest operates
to suspend collection and enforcement of the contested tax. Tenant’s contest of Tenant’s Personal Property taxes shall be
at its sole cost and expense.
(c) Nothing
herein contained shall require Tenant to pay any municipal, state or federal income taxes imposed on Landlord with respect to Tenant’s
income or in respect of any federal or state estate tax, succession tax, inheritance tax or transfer tax of Landlord, or corporation franchise
tax imposed upon any corporate owner of Landlord’s interest in the Premises.

shall be responsible for and shall pay before due all real estate taxes related to the Premises including all taxes and assessments and
other governmental charges (whether federal, state, county or municipal and whether they be by taxing districts or authorities presently
taxing the Building or by others subsequently created or otherwise), and any other taxes and improvement assessments attributable to the
Premises. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice and supporting documentation, reimburse Landlord for the cost
of such taxes. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate in any challenge of the amount of such taxes whether requested by Landlord or Tenant.
Section 4.03 Utilities
Tenant shall pay, directly
to the appropriate supplier, the cost of all natural gas, heat, light, power, telephone, water, and other utilities and services supplied
to the Premises. In no event shall Landlord be liable for any interruption or failure in the supplying of any such utilities to the Premises,
nor shall any such interruption constitute a constructive eviction or result in an abatement of Tenant’s rental or other obligations
hereunder, provided if: (a) any Essential Required Services (as hereinafter defined) are interrupted due to the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents, contractors or affiliated parties, (b) Tenant is unable to and does not use or occupy the
Premises during such period of interruption as a result of such interruption, (c) Tenant shall have given written notice of such interruption
to Landlord and (d) Landlord shall have failed to cure such interruption within five (5) consecutive business days after receiving such
written notice, Rent shall abate commencing as of the beginning of the sixth (6th)) business day following receipt of such notice until
such Essential Required Services are restored. As used herein, the term “Essential Required Services” means any one or more
of the following: HVAC, electricity, and water.
Section 4.04 Insurance
(a) Property
Insurance. Tenant shall maintain property insurance on the Improvements the amount of the full replacement value of the Improvements.
In addition, Tenant shall obtain and keep in force at all times during the Lease Term, a policy or policies of insurance covering loss
or damage to all of Tenant’s Personal Property and the equipment and trade fixtures of Tenant located within the Premises in the
amount of the full replacement value thereof as ascertained by the Tenants insurance carrier against risks of direct physical loss or
damage, normally covered in an “all risk” policy (including the perils of flood and surface waters), as such term is used
in the insurance industry; provided, however, that Tenant shall have no obligation to insure against earthquake, flood or terrorism.
(b) General
Liability Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, maintain a policy of Commercial General Liability insurance insuring
Landlord and Tenant against liability arising out of the use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises. The initial amount of such insurance
shall be at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and shall be subject to periodic increase upon reasonable demand by Landlord based
upon recommendation of professional insurance advisers reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant. However, the limits of such insurance
shall not limit Tenant’s liability nor relieve Tenant of any obligation hereunder. Landlord shall be named as an additional insured
on said policy and such policy shall contain the following provision: “Such insurance as afforded by this policy for the benefit
of Landlord shall be primary as respects any claims, losses or liabilities arising out of the use of the Premises by the Tenant or by
Tenant’s operation and any insurance carried by the Landlord shall be excess and noncontributing.” The policy shall insure
Tenant’s performance of the indemnity provisions of Section 5.04.
(c) Business
Interruption Insurance. Tenant shall at all times maintain insurance covering the interruption of Tenant’s business that specifically
insures that the Base Rent and Additional Rent, if any, will be paid to Landlord for a period not less than twelve (12) full calendar
months in the event the Premises are destroyed or rendered inaccessible by a risk required to be insured by Tenant under this Lease; provided,
however, that such insurance shall be secondary to, and shall only pay, after Landlord has received the full benefit of the loss of any
rent insurance obtained by Landlord, if any.
(d) Insurance
Policies. Insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder shall (i) name Landlord as an additional insured; and (ii) be in
companies holding a “General Policyholders’ Rating” of A or better and a “financial rating” of
10 or better, as set forth in the most current issue, of “Best’s Insurance Guide,” or a policy underwritten by Lloyd’s
of London. Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date, copies of certificates evidencing
the existence and amounts of such insurance. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage except after thirty
(30) days prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall, upon the expiration, cancellation or reduction of such policies furnish Landlord

Insurance. Landlord shall keep the Building and Improvements insured against damage and destruction by fire, vandalism, and
other perils in the amount of the full replacement value of thereof (as determined for insurance purposes) as the value may exist
from time to time, exclusive of foundations and footings, or such lesser amount as will avoid co-insurance. Landlord may, at
Landlord’s option, Tenant’s expense, maintain a policy of Commercial General Liability insurance insuring Landlord and
Tenant against liability arising out of the ownership of the Premises or any use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises by

Tenant and/or Landlord shall obtain from the issuer
of the insurance policies referred to in Section 4.05 a mutual waiver of subrogation provision in said policies and Tenant and Landlord

which occur in, on or about the Premises, whether due to the negligence of Landlord or Tenant or their agents, employees, contractors
or invitees.
Section 4.06 Late Charges
Tenant acknowledges that
Tenant’s failure to pay Base Rent or Additional Rent pursuant to the terms of this Lease may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated
costs. The exact amount of such costs is impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs may include, but are not limited
to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed encumbering
the Premises. Therefore, if Landlord does not receive any Rent payment within five (5) days after it becomes due, Tenant shall pay Landlord
a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment.

If Base Rent or Additional
Rent is paid by check and the check is returned to Landlord for any reason whatsoever without payment, Tenant shall be assessed a late
charge on the past due amount pursuant to Section 4.07 as well as a Fifty Dollar ($50) fee to cover the charge assessed by the financial
institution that returns the check. If payment is returned for insufficient funds, Landlord has the right to demand payment in the form
of a cashiers or certified check. If Tenant has two (2) or more insufficient funds’ payments in a twelve (12) month period, Landlord
may demand that all subsequent payments be in the form of a cashiers or certified check.

(a)
Tenant shall directly contract with the appropriate entity for sewer and trash removal services.
(b) In the
event the Tenant does not obtain such services or fails to make timely payments to the utility supplying such service, Landlord may, but
is not obligated to do so, contract with the appropriate entity to supply the trash and sewer service to the Premises.
(c) If Landlord
contracts with the appropriate entity to supply the trash and sewer services, Tenant shall pay in twelve equal monthly amounts, as Additional
Rent, to Landlord the Tenant’s estimated annual trash or refuse removal and sewer fees. If Landlord has contracted for such services
on behalf of Tenant in accordance with Section 4.08(b) above, prior to the beginning of each calendar year, the Landlord shall provide
the Tenant with a good faith estimate of Tenant’s projected annual fees for trash or refuse removal and sewer fees. Within thirty
(30) days following the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, a statement, in reasonable detail, of the actual
trash refuse expenses and sewer expenses incurred by Landlord during the preceding calendar year. Upon receipt of such statement, there
shall be an adjustment between Landlord and Tenant, with payment to Landlord or credit given to Tenant against the next installments of
Rent, as the case may be, to reflect the actual refuse expenses.

such portion (“Profits”), then Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, promptly after its receipt, fifty
percent (50%) of such Profits.
Section 9.03 No Release of Tenant
Except as provided in this
Section 9.03, no transfer consented to by Landlord, shall release Tenant or change Tenant’s primary liability to pay the rent and
to perform all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Any permitted assignee or sub-tenant shall, at Landlord’s option, attorn
to Landlord and shall pay all Rent directly to Landlord. Consent to one transfer shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent transfer.
Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or modifications of this Lease by Tenant’s transferee, without notifying Tenant or
obtaining its consent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall be released from its primary liability to pay the
rent and to perform all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease upon the assignment of by Tenant of all of its right, title and interest

Section 9.04 No Merger
The voluntary or other surrender
of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation of the Lease, or a termination by Landlord as permitted by the terms of this Lease,

Landlord, operate as an assignment to a Landlord of any of the subtenancies.

DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
Section 10.01 Covenants and Conditions
Tenant’s performance
of each of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, is a condition as well as a covenant. Tenant’s right to continue
in possession of the Premises is conditioned upon such performance. Time is of the essence in the performance of all covenants and conditions.
Section 10.02 Defaults
Tenant shall be in material default under this Lease:
(a) If Tenant abandons the Premises or if Tenant vacates the Premises for thirty (30) consecutive days;
(b) If Tenant
fails to pay Rent or any other charge required to be paid by Tenant, as and when due, and such failure continues for more than five (5)
business days after receipt of written notice from Landlord;
(c) If Tenant
fails to perform any of Tenant’s, non-monetary obligations under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice
from Landlord; provided that if more than twenty (20) days are required to complete such performance, Tenant shall not be in default if
Tenant commences such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues its completion;
(d)
(i) If Tenant makes a general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; if a petition for adjudication of bankruptcy
or for reorganization or rearrangement is filed by or against Tenant and is not dismissed within ninety (90) days; (ii) if a trustee or
receiver is appointed to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest

(f) If Tenant
or any Guarantor defaults under the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement or any of the agreements referenced therein; or
(g) Any
representation or warranty made by Tenant this Lease shall have been false or misleading in any material respect as of the date such representation
or warranty was made.
Section 10.03 Remedies
On the occurrence of any default by Tenant after
the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand except as may be required
by applicable law, and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have, Landlord may:
(a) Terminate
Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately
surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all actual damages
incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default, including without limitation (i) the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid
Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which had been earned at the time of the termination; (ii) the worth at the time of the award
of the amount by which the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which would have been earned after termination until the
time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the
time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which would have been paid for the balance
of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;
and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform
its obligations under the Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited
to, any reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in maintaining or preserving the Premises after such
default, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary repair, Landlord’s reasonable
attorney’s fees and costs incurred in connection therewith, and any unamortized real estate commission paid or payable, to the extent
applicable to the remainder of the Lease Term. As used in subparts (i) and (ii) above, the “worth at the time of the award”
is computed by allowing interest on unpaid amounts at the rate of ten percent (10%) or such lesser amount as may then be the maximum lawful
rate, accruing the date such payments are due until paid. Notwithstanding anything contained above to the contrary, in no event shall
Tenant be liable to Landlord hereunder for speculative, special or punitive damages. As used in subpart (iii) above, the “worth
at the time of the award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
at the time of the award, plus five percent (5%);
(b) Maintain
Tenant’s right to possession, in which ease this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises.
In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right
to recover Rent as it becomes due hereunder. Landlord’s election to maintain Tenant’s right to possession shall not prejudice
Landlord’s right, at any time thereafter to terminate Tenant’s right to possession and proceed in accordance with Section
10.03(a) above;
(c) Pursue
any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the State of Nevada.
(d)
Cumulative Remedies
Landlord’s exercise of any right or remedy shall not prevent it from exercising any other right or remedy.
Section 10.04 Landlord’s Default
Landlord shall be in
default of this Lease (a “Landlord Default”) if Landlord fails to perform any term, covenant or condition of Landlord
under this Lease and fails to cure such default within a period of thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of notice from
Tenant specifying such default or, if the default specified by Tenant is not capable of cure within such thirty (30) day period, if
Landlord fails after notice from Tenant to commence to cure such default within a period of thirty (30) days and to diligently
pursue completion of such cure. Any recovery by Tenant is limited to the Landlord’s interest in the Building. Notwithstanding
anything contained above to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant hereunder for consequential, speculative,
special or punitive damages.

Premises and to any advances made on the security of it or Landlord’s interest in it, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements, and extensions of it. However, if any mortgagee, trustee, or ground lessor elects to have this Lease
prior to the lien of its mortgage or deed of trust or prior to its ground lease, and gives notice of that to Tenant, this Lease
shall be deemed prior to the mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date
of the mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, or the date of recording of it. Any such subordination contemplated hereunder shall
be under the express condition that Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written non-disturbance agreement from the mortgagee or
beneficiary in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant. If any mortgage or deed of trust to which this Lease is subordinate is
foreclosed or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is given to the mortgagee or beneficiary, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser at the
foreclosure sale or to the grantee under the deed in lieu of foreclosure. If any ground lease to which this Lease is subordinate is
terminated, Tenant shall attorn to the ground lessor. Tenant agrees to execute any documents, in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Tenant, required to for the subordination, to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust or
ground lease, or to evidence the attornment. If any mortgage or deed of trust to which this Lease is subordinate is foreclosed or a
deed in lieu of foreclosure is given to the mortgagee or beneficiary, or if any ground lease to which this Lease is subordinate is
terminated, this Lease shall not be barred, terminated, cut off, or foreclosed. Neither shall the rights and possession of Tenant
under this Lease be disturbed, if Tenant is not then in default in the payment of rental and other sums due under this Lease or
otherwise in default under the terms of this Lease in each case beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, and
if Tenant attorns to the purchaser, grantee, or ground lessor as provided in this Section 11.01. Tenant’s covenant under this

conditioned on each senior instrument containing the commitments specified in this subsection.
Section 11.02 Attornment

as Landlord under this Lease provided that such transferee or successor assumes all of the obligations of Landlord under this Lease. Tenant

possession of the Premises upon the transfer of Landlord’s interest.
Section 11.03 Signing of Documents
Tenant shall sign and deliver
any instruments or documents reasonably acceptable to Tenant that are reasonably necessary or appropriate to evidence any such attornment
or subordination or agreement to do so. Such subordination and attornment documents may contain such provisions as are customarily required
by any ground lessor, beneficiary under a deed of trust or mortgagee.
Section 11.04 Estoppel Certificates

requesting party under this Lease (or, if the requesting party is claimed to be in default, stating why); and (v) such other matters
as may be reasonably required by requesting party or the holder of a mortgage, deed of trust or lien to which the Premises is or
becomes subject. The delivering party shall deliver such statement to the requesting party within ten (10) business days after such
request. The requesting party may give any such statement by the delivering party to any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of
the Premises. Such purchaser or encumbrancer may rely conclusively upon such statement as true and correct.
(b)
If the delivering party does not deliver such statement to the requesting party within such ten (10) business day period, the
requesting party, and any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer, may conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts: (i)
that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed except as otherwise represented by landlord; (ii) that this Lease
has not been canceled or terminated except as otherwise represented by the requesting party; (iii) that not more than one
month’s Base Rent or other charges have been paid in advance; and (iv) that the requesting party is not in default under the
Lease.

funds have not yet been applied under the terms of this Lease.

FORM OF GUARANTY
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in consideration of
CD Gowan LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Landlord”) entering into a Lease Agreement dated concurrently herewith (the
“Lease”) for the real property described as 2241 Gowan Road, North Las Vegas, Nevada 89030 (the “Premises”) with 1847
CMD Inc, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), 1847 Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”),
CMD Inc., a Nevada corporation (“CMD”) and CMD Finish Carpentry LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Finish”)
(Holdings, CMD and Finish are collectively referred to herein as the “Guarantors” and individually as a “Guarantor),
agrees, jointly and severally, as follows:
1. Guarantors absolutely and unconditionally guarantee the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of the provisions and covenants
on the part of Tenant to be performed under the Lease within the time and in accordance with the terms of the Lease (collectively referred
to as “Tenant Obligations”) including the payment of all amounts required to be paid by Tenant under the terms of the Lease.
If Tenant holds over beyond the term of the Lease, Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall extend and apply with respect to the
full and faithful performance and observation of all of the covenants, terms and conditions of the Lease during such holdover.
2. This is a continuing guarantee and, by
this instrument, Guarantors guarantee the prompt payment and performance of any and all Tenant Obligations which may now or
hereafter exist or accrue from Tenant to Landlord under the Lease.
3. Guarantors expressly waive: (a) any defense based upon any legal disability to enter into the Lease or other defense of Tenant; (b) any
defense based on any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of Guarantors
or any principal of a Guarantor, or any defect in the formation of any Guarantor or any principal of a Guarantor ; (c) any and all rights
and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Landlord, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure
with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed any Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the
principal; (d) any defense based upon Landlord’s failure to disclose to a Guarantor any information concerning Tenant’s financial condition
or any other circumstances bearing on Tenant’s ability to perform its obligations under the Lease; (e) any defense based upon any statute
or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome
than that of a principal; (f) any defense based on Tenant’s being subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, or upon any grant of a security
interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (g) any right of subrogation, any right to enforce any remedy which Landlord
may have against Tenant and any right to participate in, or benefit from, any security under the Lease now or hereafter held by Landlord;
and (h) any proof of default by Tenant, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind. Guarantors
agree that payment or performance of any act which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to the Lease shall similarly operate to
toll the statute of limitations applicable to any Guarantor’s liability hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or
any other provision hereof, Guarantors expressly waive to the extent permitted by law any and all rights and defenses which might otherwise
be available to a Guarantor under Nevada law. Guarantors expressly agree, without Landlord first having to proceed against Tenant or exhausting
any security held by Landlord or a Guarantor or pursuing any other available remedy, to pay on demand all sums due and to become due to
Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default under the Lease. Guarantors agree that each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are independent of
the obligations of Tenant and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to collect the full amount
hereby guaranteed, or any portion thereof, whether action is instituted against Tenant or any other person or guarantor for such obligations
and whether or not Tenant be joined in any such action or actions.
4. Landlord may, without notice and without affecting the liability of any Guarantor, from time to time: (a) modify in any form and in any
manner, any of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease, including without limitation an increase in Minimum Rent and/or Tenant’s Pro
Rata Share of Common Area Operating Expenses to the extent allowed under the terms of the Lease, the renewal or extension of the Term
of the Lease, the addition of space to the Premises, the acceleration or alteration of the time of performance of Tenant Obligations and
other charges, or the change of any other terms of the Lease agreed to in writing by Tenant; (b) take and hold security for the payment
of this Guaranty or the obligations guaranteed and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or any part thereof; and (c)
apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereon as Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine.
5. Guarantors hereby expressly waive and relinquishes Guarantors’ right of subrogation to any remedy Landlord may otherwise have had
against Tenant, and the right of reimbursement against Tenant for payment of Tenant Obligations or any part thereof, until all Tenant
Obligations owed to Landlord have been paid in full or performed in full, as the case may be. Guarantors further waive and relinquishes
the right to assert a defense based upon Landlord’s election of remedies, including the loss or destruction of such rights of subrogation
and reimbursement in any action instituted by Landlord against any Guarantor on this Guaranty.
6. Guarantors hereby absolutely subordinate, both in right of payment and in time of payment, any present or future indebtedness of Tenant
or its stockholders, partners, or members, as the case may be, to any Guarantor, to Tenant Obligations to Landlord. If, upon Landlord’s
request, any Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive payment from Tenant upon any Tenant Obligations or from its stockholders, partners,
or members, as the case may be, any such sums shall be received by such Guarantor as trustee for Landlord and shall be paid over to Landlord
on account of Tenant Obligations to Landlord, without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Guarantor under the other
provisions of this Guaranty except to the extent such amounts reduce the amounts due under the terms of the Lease.
7. This Guaranty and any security for this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any
payment or performance of any Tenant Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be required to be returned by Landlord upon the bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization of Tenant or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not occurred.
8.
No Guarantor shall have any authority to revoke this Guaranty.
9. If any Guarantor shall file in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law, all claims which such
Guarantor may have against Tenant or its stockholders, partners, or members, as the case may be, relating to any indebtedness of Tenant
or its stockholders, partners, or members, as the case may be, all rights of any Guarantor shall be assigned to Landlord. In all such
cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay, and all Guarantors
do hereby authorize such person or persons to pay to Landlord the amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent necessary for that
purpose the Guarantors hereby assigns to Landlord all of such Guarantor’s rights to any such payments or distributions to which such Guarantor
would otherwise be entitled to the extent of the amounts due by Tenant under the terms of the Lease.
10. A waiver by Landlord of any of the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions and agreements of the Lease, or any modifications thereof,
or the giving of any consent to any assignment or assignments thereof and/or any consent to sublease or subleases of the Premises, or
any part thereof, without any Guarantor’s consent, or the granting of any indulgences or extensions of time to Tenant, may be made and
done without notice to any Guarantor, without impairing the obligations of this Guaranty and without in any way affecting, changing or
releasing any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.
11. Guarantors hereby represent and warrant, as follows:
(a) No Guarantor
is a party to any agreement or instrument materially and adversely affecting such Guarantor’s present or proposed business, properties
or assets, or operations or conditions (whether financial or otherwise); and Guarantor is not in default in the performance, observance

(c) Each Guarantor has filed
all federal, state, county, municipal and other income tax returns required to have been filed by such Guarantor and has paid all taxes

additional assessment against a Guarantor in respect of such taxes.
(d) Guarantors hereby represent

December 13, 2024
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
1847 Holdings LLC
590 Madison Ave, 21st Floor
New York, NY 10022
Dear Mr. Roberts,
This letter (the “Agreement”)
constitutes the agreement between, Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (“Spartan”, or the “Placement Agent”)
and 1847 Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (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 placement (the “Placement” or the “Offering”) of common shares Company, no par value per
share (“Common Shares” or the “Shares”) and/or equity derivatives including but not limited to convertible
debt instruments (the “Convertible Securities” the Shares and Convertible Securities hereinafter referred to as the
“Securities”). The terms of the Placement 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 Subscription Agreement (as defined below), shall be collectively referred to herein as
the “Transaction Documents.” The date of each closing of the Placement shall be referred to herein as a “Closing
Date.” The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Placement Agent 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. Following 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 subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”)
between the Company and such Purchaser in a form mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Placement Agent. Capitalized terms that are
not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Subscription Agreement. Prior to the signing of any Subscription
Agreement, executive officers of the Company will be available upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours to answer inquiries
from prospective Purchasers.
SECTION 1.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 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 Subscription Agreement utilized 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
the Subscription Agreement and as of the Closing Date, hereby made to, and in favor of, the Placement Agent. The Company hereby
represents and warrants that the Company is not disqualified from the exemption under Rule 506 contained in Regulation D by virtue
of the disqualifications contained in Rule 506(d), or the exemption under Regulation D by virtue of the disqualifications contained
in Rule 507.
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 corporate entity 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. ESCROW.
The Company and the Placement Agent shall enter into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) at or prior to the initial
Closing with an escrow agent mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Placement Agent. The Escrow Agreement will provide for the direct
disbursement of all fees and funds held by the escrow agent.
SECTION 4. COMPENSATION. In consideration of the services to be provided for hereunder, the Company shall pay to the Placement Agent the

in the Placement whether the sale was directly the result of the Placement Agent’s efforts or any other party legally permitted
to effect the sale (including, but not limited to, FINRA members, as selling agents, which the Placement Agent may permit to participate
in the Offering). The Cash Fee shall be paid at each Closing of the Placement and shall be deducted from the escrow account established
in connection with the Placement. The Placement Agent shall additionally receive a Cash Fee equal to an aggregate of four percent (4%)
of the aggregate gross proceeds received upon the exercise of the series B warrants issued in the Offering.
B.
Subject to compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(D), the Company will be responsible for and will pay all expenses relating to

if applicable; (b) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to the registration or qualification of the securities under the “blue

legal fees. The Placement Agent may deduct from the net proceeds of the Placement payable to the Company on a Closing Date the expenses
set forth herein to be paid by the Company to the Placement Agent. Additionally, one percent (1%) of the gross proceeds of the Offering
shall be provided to Spartan for non-accountable expenses.
C.

the event at 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.

any of the Confidential Information, such Placement Agent and its Representatives will furnish only that portion of the Confidential
Information which such 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.

EXHIBIT A
INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS
In connection with the engagement
of Spartan Capital LLC (“Spartan”, the “Placement Agent”) by 1847 Holdings, LLC. (the “Company”) pursuant
to a placement agency agreement dated as of the date hereof, by and among 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 respective 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 such Placement Agent’s
willful misconduct or gross negligence in performing the services described herein, as the case may be.
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 such Placement Agent is entitled to indemnity hereunder, such 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 such 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 such 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 such 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.
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 such Placement Agent harmless,
then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such 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 such Placement Agent on the other, but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and such 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, no Placement Agent’s share of the liability hereunder shall be in excess of the amount of fees actually received, or to
be received, by such Placement Agent under the Agreement (excluding any amounts received as reimbursement of expenses incurred by such
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.

manner to result in the same aggregate purchase price being paid by the Purchasers, less $0.01 per Pre-Funded Warrant; and provided
further that if NYSE American determines that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be aggregated with any prior
offering of securities by the Company, then the Exchange Cap may be reduced to zero, in which case no Shares shall be issued and
Pre-Funded Warrants will be issued in lieu of Shares. Each Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, via wire transfer,

Subsidiaries, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything contained above to the contrary, the SEC Reports disclose certain
historical weaknesses in internal controls and the Company’s plan of remediation of these weaknesses.
(u) Certain Fees.
Except for fees payable by the Company to the Placement Agent, no brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be
payable by the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, 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.
(v) Private
Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, no
registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers as
contemplated hereby. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading
Market.
(w) 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.
(x) Registration
Rights. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.1(x) and other than to each of the Purchasers pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement, no Person has any right to cause the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, to effect the registration under
the Securities Act of any securities of the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable.
(y) 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. 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. 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.
(z) 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.
(aa) 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. 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, as
applicable, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, 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 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.
(bb) 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 any applicable shareholder approval provisions of
any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(cc) 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. Schedule
3.1(cc) sets 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.
(dd) 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,
as applicable, know of no basis for any such claim.
(ee) Foreign Corrupt
Practices. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, as applicable, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, as
applicable, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, 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, as applicable, (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 the FCPA.
(ff) Accountants.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC. To the knowledge and belief
of the Company, such accounting firm (i) is registered public accounting firm as required by the Exchange Act and (ii) shall express
its opinion with respect to the financial statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2023.
(gg) No Disagreements
with Accountants and Lawyers. There are no material disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by
the Company to arise, between the Company and the accountants and lawyers formerly or presently employed by the Company and the
Company is current with respect to any fees owed to its accountants and lawyers which could affect the Company’s ability to
perform any of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents.
(hh) 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.
(ii) Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding
(except for Sections 3.2(f) 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.
(jj) 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 (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other
securities of the Company, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), compensation paid to the Placement Agent in connection
with the placement of the Securities.
(kk) Officers’
Certificate. Any certificate signed by any duly authorized officer of the Company and delivered to the Purchasers shall be

described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a
Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any
Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company has complied, to the extent applicable, with its
disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e), and has furnished to the Purchasers a copy of any disclosures provided thereunder.
(nn) Other Covered

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 understands that the Securities are
“restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or
reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no
present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law
and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of
such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty shall
not limit such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to a 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. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on
which it exercises any Pre-Funded Warrants, if any, it will be 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)(1) under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser hereby represents that neither such Purchaser
nor any of its Rule 506(d) Related Parties (as defined below) is a “bad actor” within the meaning of Rule 506(d)
promulgated under the Securities Act. For purposes of this Agreement, “Rule 506(d) Related Party” shall mean a person or
entity covered by the “Bad Actor disqualification” provision of Rule 506(d) of 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 pricing 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.
(g) Independent
Advice. Each Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the
Company to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.
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
4.1 The
Securities.
(a) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of
Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or
in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(a), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company
an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities
under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement.
(b)
The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in substantially
the following form:
[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR
THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES
COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT
AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY] MAY
BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT
IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The Company acknowledges and
agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant
a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined
in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured
Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal
opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall
be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation
as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including,
if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required
prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately
amend the list of Selling Shareholders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) thereunder.
(c) Certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)
hereof), (i) while a registration statement (including the Resale Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective
under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance
with the current public information required under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), (iii) if such Shares or Warrant
Shares are eligible for sale or may be sold under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), without volume or manner-of-sale
restrictions, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations
and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer
Agent or the Purchaser if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a Purchaser,
respectively. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the
resale of the Warrant Shares, if the Shares or Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the
current public information required under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), or if the Shares or Warrant Shares may
be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under
Rule 144 as to such Shares or Warrant Shares or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities
Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission), then such Shares or Warrant Shares
shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Resale Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no
longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading
Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer
Agent of a certificate representing Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend
Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares that is free from
all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that
enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.1. Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall
be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository
Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser. 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 Share
as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive
legend. In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, 2% of the total of the value of the Shares or Warrant Shares for which the removal of the legend is sought
(based on the VWAP of the Common Share on the date such Shares or Warrant Shares are submitted to the Transfer Agent) for each full month
that said opinion is not delivered after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend.
(d)
In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares or Warrant Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Shares on the date such Securities
are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day
(increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after the Legend Removal Date) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal
Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered)
to a Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Securities so delivered to the Company by such Purchaser that
is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of all or any portion of the number of Common Shares,
or a sale of a number of Common Shares equal to all or any portion of the number of Common Shares that such Purchaser anticipated receiving
from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased (including brokerage commissions and
other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of Shares or Warrant
Shares that the Company was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale
price of the Common Shares on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Purchaser to the Company
of the applicable Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause
(ii).
(e)
Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell any
Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements,
or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Resale Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance
with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing
Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.
4.2 Furnishing of Information;
Public Information. Until the time that no Purchaser owns Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions
in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof
pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. At any time during
the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all of the Securities (assuming
cashless exercise for the Warrants) may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise
without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company (i) shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information
requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future,
and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Public Information Failure”) then,
in addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities, an amount in cash equal
to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount of such Purchaser’s Securities on the day of a Public Information Failure
and on every thirtieth (30th) day (prorated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date
such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Purchasers to transfer
the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2
are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid
on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii)
the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event
the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear
interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s
right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available
to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
4.3 Integration.
The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in
Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and
regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction
unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
4.4 Securities Laws

disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including the

issuance of such press release, the Company represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly disclosed all material,
non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, or any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective upon the issuance of such press release, the
Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or

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. 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) to the extent required by federal securities law in connection with
(i) any Resale Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) the filing of
final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market

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.
4.6 Non-Public

acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company
reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have consented in
writing to the receipt of such 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, as applicable, 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, as applicable, 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, as applicable, 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, as applicable, the Company shall promptly after 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.

role of a Person 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

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 solely 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 in the Agreement, or in any of 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.

Warrants, respectively.
4.10 Listing of
Common Shares. The Company hereby agrees to use 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, Pre-Funded Warrant Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the
Shares, Pre-Funded Warrant Shares and 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, Pre-Funded
Warrant Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares, Pre-Funded Warrant
Shares and 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 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.
4.12 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, as applicable, 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.
4.13 Exercise
Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in each of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants set forth the totality of
the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants, as the case may be. No
additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Pre-Funded
Warrants or 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 or Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants and shall deliver
Pre-Funded Warrant Shares and Warrant Shares, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set
forth in the Transaction Documents.

Agreements. The Company shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any of the Lock-Up Agreements without the
prior written consent of the Placement Agent, 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.
4.15 Shareholder
Approval. The Company shall hold a special meeting of shareholders (which may also be at the annual meeting of
shareholders) at the earliest practicable date after the date hereof, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing
Date for the purpose of obtaining the requisite approval from its shareholders for (i) the issuance of all Warrant Shares and
Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, including without limitation, with respect to any and all additional Warrant Shares that may be issued as
a result of the adjustments set forth in the Warrants, (ii) a reset of the floor exercise price and approval of a corresponding
increase in the total number of warrant shares of the series A warrants issued by the Company to the investors of the October 30,
2024 public offering that remain outstanding to an exercise price equal to the initial exercise price of the Series A Warrants, and
any additional share issuance(s) as may be warranted due to such adjustment(s), and (iii) a reset of the floor exercise price and
approval of a corresponding increase in the total number of warrant shares of the series B warrants issued by the Company to the
investors of the October 30, 2024 public offering to an exercise price equal to the initial exercise price of the Series B Warrants,
and any additional share issuance(s) as may be warranted due to such adjustment(s), in accordance with NYSE American’s rules
(the “Shareholder Approval”), with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such
proposal be approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all
other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of
such proposal. Within ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date, the Company shall file with the Commission a preliminary
proxy statement to request for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder Approval, and the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain
such Shareholder Approval. In the event Shareholder Approval (or board approval in lieu thereof following six months after the
Closing Date) does not occur, the Company will be required to hold additional meetings at least one time every seventy-five (75)
days until the earlier of the date Shareholder Approval is obtained or the Warrants are no longer outstanding, with printed and
mailed proxy statements sent to shareholders for such meetings. The Company shall additionally designate and enact a series of
super-voting preferred shares to enable the Shareholder Approval, within twenty (20) days.
4.16 Subsequent
Equity Sales.
(a)

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 Resale Registration Statement 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

(b)
From the date hereof until the one (1) year anniversary of the Resale 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 4.16 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate
Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.
4.17 Reverse Stock
Split. The Company has agreed that within twenty (20) days of that date which is the earlier of that date on which (i) the
Company receives notification from NYSE American that its Common Shares are no longer suitable for listing pursuant to Section
1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide due to the low selling price of the Common Shares or (ii) the trailing 30-trading day
average of the Common Shares as quoted on NYSE American is less than $0.50 per share, it shall implement a reverse share split in
such a ratio that, in the reasonable opinion of its counsel, is sufficient to maintain the listing of the Common Shares on NYSE
American. Additionally, the Company shall further effect a reverse share split within twenty (20) days, if between the Closing Date
and the Resale Effective Date, the trailing 10-trading day average of the Common Shares as quoted on NYSE American is less than
$0.50 per share.

a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine
is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under
applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions
promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

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 such
disproportionately impacted Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) shall also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to 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

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 for a period of 12
months.
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, 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 Placement Agent Counsel. The
Placement Agent Counsel 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 Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding
Business 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
share splits, share dividends, share 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

have been disposed of by the Holder in accordance with such effective Registration Statement, (b) such Registrable Securities have been
previously sold in accordance with Rule 144, or (c) such securities become eligible for resale and without the requirement for the Company

On or prior to each Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale
of all of the Registrable Securities that are not then registered on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on
a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. Each Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on Form S-1 (or Form S-3 to the extent the
Company is eligible to use such registration statement form, subject to the provisions of Section 2.5) and shall contain (unless otherwise
directed by at least 85% in interest of the Holders) substantially the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Annex
2.1.1 and substantially the “Selling Shareholders” section attached hereto as Annex 2.1.2; provided,
however, that no Holder shall be required to be named as an “underwriter” without such Holder’s express prior
written consent. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section 3.3) to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly
as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts
to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that all Registrable Securities covered
by such Registration Statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale
restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information
requirement under Rule 144 (to the extent applicable), as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter
to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected Holders (the “Effectiveness Period”).
The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day.
The Company shall immediately notify the Holders via facsimile or by e-mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same
Trading Day that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness
of such Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day after the effective date of such
Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424. Failure to so notify the Holder within one
(1) Trading Day of such notification of effectiveness or failure to file a final Prospectus as foresaid shall be deemed an Event under
Section 2.4.
2.2.
Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section 2.1, if the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable
Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration
statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments
to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the Commission, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to
be registered by the Commission, on Form S-1 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary
offering, subject to the provisions of Section 2.5; with respect to filing on Form S-1 or other appropriate form, and subject to the provisions
of Section 2.4 with respect to the payment of liquidated damages; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment,
the Company shall be obligated to use diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable
Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.
2.3.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2.4,
if the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a
particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with
the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a
Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be
reduced as follows:
2.3.1.
First, the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included other than Registrable Securities;
2.3.2. Second,
the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by the Warrant Shares (applied, in the case that some Warrant Shares may
be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Warrant Shares held by such Holders);
and
2.3.3.
Third, the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by Common Shares (applied, in the case that some Common Shares
may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Common Share held by such Holders).
In the event of a cutback hereunder,
the Company shall give the Holder at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s
allotment. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its
best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants
of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-1 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable
Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended.
2.4.
If: (i) the Initial Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date (if the Company files the Initial Registration
Statement without affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3.1 herein or the Company
subsequently withdraws the filing of the Registration Statement, the Company shall be deemed to have not satisfied this clause (i)) as
of the Filing Date, or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance
with Rule 461 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, within five Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified
(orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or
will not be subject to further review, or (iii) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective
amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement within ten (10)
calendar days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such amendment is required in order for such Registration
Statement to be declared effective, or (iv) a Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Registrable Securities is not declared
effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date of the Initial Registration Statement (provided if the Registration Statement does
not allow for the resale of Registrable Securities at prevailing market prices (i.e., only allows for fixed price sales), the Company
shall have been deemed to have not satisfied this clause), or (v) after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration
Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement,
or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than ten
(10) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of fifteen (15) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during
any 12-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clauses
(i) and (iv), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five (5) Trading Day period is
exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such twenty (20) calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (v)
the date on which such ten (10) or fifteen (15) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event
Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event
Date and on each day thereafter each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable
Event is cured, the Company shall pay and distribute to each Holder an amount in cash or Common Shares (as preferred by the Holders, and
determined thereupon), on a pro rata basis as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty on a daily basis, a sum equal to 0.5% of
their aggregate Subscription Amount paid by the Holders pursuant to the Purchase Agreements until fifteen (15) calendar days of each such
Event, which amount shall increase to 1.00% of their aggregate Subscription Amount paid by the Holders pursuant to the Purchase Agreements
between sixteenth (16) calendar days, and until cure of the Event, as calculated on a daily basis. If the Company fails to pay any partial
liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 2.4 in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon
at a rate of 12% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily
from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial
liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of
an Event.
2.5.
If Form S-1 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register
the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form
S-1 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in
effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the
Commission.
2.6.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name any Holder or affiliate
of a Holder as any Underwriter without the prior written consent of such Holder.
| 3. | Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations
hereunder, the Company shall: |
3.1.
Not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior
to the filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed,
which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders,
and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall
be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning
of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto
to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good faith, provided that, the Company is
notified of such objection in writing no later than five (5) Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration
Statement or one (1) Trading Day after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements
thereto. Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex 3.1
(a “Selling Shareholder Questionnaire”) on a date that is not less than two (2) Trading Days prior to the Filing
Date or by the end of the fourth (4th) Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance
with this Section.
3.2.
(i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and
the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable
Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in
order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended
or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to
be filed pursuant to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect
to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably possible to the Holders true and complete copies
of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided that, the Company shall excise any information
contained therein which would constitute material non-public information regarding the Company), and (iv) comply in all material respects
with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities
covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended
methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.
3.3.
If during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common
Shares then registered in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior
to the applicable Filing Date, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of
such Registrable Securities.
3.4.
Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be
accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably
possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person)
confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement
or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether
there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration
Statement, and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii)
of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration
Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental
authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities
or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension
of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation
or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements
included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus
or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions
to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the
case may be, it 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the
occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and
that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration
Statement or Prospectus; provided, however, that in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute
material, non-public information regarding the Company and the Company agrees that the Holders shall not have any duty of confidentiality
to the Company and shall not have any duty to the Company not to trade on the basis of such non-material, public information.
3.5.
Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
3.6.
Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto,
including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent
requested by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated
by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission, provided that any such item which is available on the EDGAR
system (or successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.
3.7.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement
thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus
and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3.4.
3.8.
Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate
with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the registration or qualification) of
such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United
States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during
the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions
of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement, provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally
to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
3.9.
If requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing
Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the
extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations
and registered in such names as any such Holder may request.
3.10.
Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3.4, as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking
into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its shareholders of the premature
disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement
to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required
document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an 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, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through
(vi) of Section 3.4 above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the
Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed
as promptly as is practicable. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3.10 to suspend the availability
of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment of partial liquidated damages otherwise required pursuant to Section
2.4, for a period not to exceed 60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month period.
3.11.
Otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement
or amendment thereof, with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the Holders in writing if, at
any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof,
the Holders are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions
as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.
3.12.
The Company shall use its best efforts to maintain eligibility for use of Form S-1/S-3 (or any successor form thereto) for the
registration of the resale of Registrable Securities.
3.13.
The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of Common Share beneficially
owned by such Holder and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control over the
Common Share. During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the
Registrable Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within three Trading Days of the Company’s request,
any liquidated damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely
because of such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the Company.
| 4. | Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of, or compliance
with, this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration
Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing
fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent registered public accountants) (A)
with respect to filings made with the Commission, (B) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the
Common Share is then listed for trading, and (C) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to
by the Company in writing (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky
qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing
certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance to be purchased at the sole discretion of
the Company, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection
with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of
its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred
in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company
be responsible for any broker or similar commissions of any Holder or, except to the extent provided for in the Transaction Documents,
any legal fees or other costs of the Holders. |
5.1. Indemnification
by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each
Holder, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as
principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Share), investment advisors and employees
(and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or
any other title) of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, partners, agents and employees (and any other
Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other
title) of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively,
“Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement
thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of
the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements
or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly
for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of
distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a
Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved
Annex 2.1.1 hereto for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section
3.4(iii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified
such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the
receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6.3. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution,
threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which
the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with
Section 6.7.
5.2. Indemnification
by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers,
agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of
the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement
thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company expressly for inclusion
in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to
such Holder’s information provided in the Selling Shareholder Questionnaire or the proposed method of distribution of
Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration
Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex 2.1.1 hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or in any
amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a selling Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of
the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the amount of any
damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Holder upon
the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
5.3. Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity
hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom
indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right
to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment
of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof, provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give
such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only)
to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal
or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An Indemnified
Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in
writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding
and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party
shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified
Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense
thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).
The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party,
effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes
an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
Subject to the
terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent
incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall
be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, provided that
the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions
for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal
or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
5.4. Contribution.
If the indemnification under Section 5.1 or 5.2 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party
harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with
the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any
action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a
material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and
the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or
omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any
Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in
this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.
The parties
hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.4 were determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a Holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount
of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the amount of any
damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission)
received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
The indemnity
and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified
Parties.
6.1. Remedies.
In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or
the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement,
including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each of the Company and
each Holder agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it
of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in
respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
6.2. No
Piggyback on Registrations; Prohibition on Filing Other Registration Statements. Neither the Company nor any of its security
holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration
Statements other than the Registrable Securities. The Company shall not file any other registration statements until all Registrable
Securities are registered pursuant to a Registration Statement that is declared effective by the Commission, provided that this
Section 6.2 shall not prohibit the Company from filing amendments to registration statements filed prior to the date of this
Agreement.
6.3. Discontinued
Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the
Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3.4(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith
discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the
“Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or
amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly
as is practicable. The Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the
disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.4.
6.4. Piggy-Back
Registrations. If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering
all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other
than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities
to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with
the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of
such determination and, if within five (5) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in
writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder
requests to be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable
Securities pursuant to this Section 6.4 that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions and provided
the Company is in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144) promulgated by the Commission pursuant
to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement that is available for resales or other
dispositions by such Holder.
6.5. Amendments
and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing
and signed by the Company and the Holders of 50.1% or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (for purposes of
clarification, this includes any Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of any Security); provided that no such
amendment, action or omission that adversely affects, alters or changes the interests of any Holder in a manner disproportionate to
the other Holders shall be effective against such Holder without the prior written consent of such Holder. If a Registration
Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous
sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and
each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates
exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders
may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however,
that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the
first sentence of this Section 6.5. No consideration 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 also is offered to all of the parties to this
Agreement.
6.6. Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set
forth in the Purchase Agreement.
6.7. Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each
of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each
Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under the Purchase Agreement.
6.8. No
Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company, on or after the date of
this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted
to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.8, the
Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any
Person that have not been satisfied in full.
6.9. Execution
and Counterparts. 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 e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data 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 “.pdf”
signature page were an original thereof.
6.10. Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be
determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
6.11. Cumulative
Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
6.12. 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.
6.13. Headings.
The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit
or affect any of the provisions hereof.
6.14. Independent
Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of
any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action
taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint
venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a
group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the
Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with
respect to such obligations or transactions. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without
limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an
additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company
contained was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the
convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Holder. It is expressly understood and
agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder, solely, and not between the Company and
the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.

Exhibit 10.16
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SECURITIES
PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of December 13, 2024, is entered into by and among 1847 Holdings LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and undersigned holders (the “Holders”).
RECITALS
A. On
October 28, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain purchasers, including the Holders (the “Purchase
Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders, among other things, series A warrants to purchase common shares
(the “Series A Warrants”) and series B warrants to purchase common shares (the “Series B Warrants,”
and together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meanings assigned to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
B. The
parties acknowledge that the definition of “Floor Price” contained in the Warrants does not include a reference to adjustments
for share splits, but that Section 5.10 of the Purchase Agreement states that “[i]n addition, each and every reference to share
prices and Common Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward share splits, share dividends,
share combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement.” Accordingly,
to further clarify, the Company has requested an acknowledgement from the Holder that following the Company’s recent 1-for-15 reverse
split of its outstanding common shares, the floor price has been adjusted from $0.10 to $1.50.
C. The
parties also acknowledge that, in accordance with disclosure contained in the Prospectus, the proceeds of the offering contemplated by
the Purchase Agreement (the “Prior Offering”) were used to repay certain debt, which included the repayment of $117,190
owed to an affiliate of the Placement Agent.
D. The
Company desires to offer and sell units to certain investors, in a private placement transaction (the “Offering”),
at a purchase price per unit equal to the closing price of the Company’s common shares immediately prior to the private placement
transaction (the “Unit Price”), with each unit consisting of (i) one common share and/or a prefunded warrant to purchase
one common share, (ii) one series A warrant to purchase one common share at an exercise price equal to 300% of the Unit Price (subject
to certain adjustments, including a full ratchet anti-dilution adjustment for reverse share splits, upon registration of the underlying
common shares and upon subsequent equity issuances, subject to certain exceptions) with an alternative cashless exercise into 1.25 common
shares (the “New Series A Warrants”) and (iii) one series B warrant to purchase one common share at an exercise price
equal to 200% of the Unit Price (subject to certain adjustments, including a full ratchet anti-dilution adjustment for reverse share splits,
upon registration of the underlying common shares and upon subsequent equity issuances, subject to certain exceptions) (the “New
Series B Warrants,” and together with the New Series A Warrants, the “New Warrants”). The exercise prices
of the New Warrants will be subject to the Floor Price (as is defined in the New Warrants) equal to 35% of the Minimum Price (as is defined
in the New Warrants) immediately prior to the signing of the transaction documents prior to shareholder approval, and following shareholder
approval, the Floor Price will be reduced to 20% of such Minimum Price; provided that upon each reverse share split, the Floor Price will
be divided by two (2.0), as adjusted for such reverse share split.
E. The
transaction documents for the Offering will also include a covenant that will require the Company to use its best efforts to obtain shareholder
approval to reset the exercise price and the Floor Price (as defined in the Series A Warrants) of the Series A Warrants that remain outstanding
to a price equal to the initial exercise price of the New Series A Warrants and reset the exercise price and the Floor Price (as defined
in the Series B Warrants) of the Series B Warrants to a price equal to the initial exercise price of the New Series B Warrants. Accordingly,
the quantity of shares underlying the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants shall increase such that multiplying the adjusted strike
price by the number of underlying shares shall render the same aggregate exercise price of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants
upon their initial issuance.
F. The
Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to complete its previously announced acquisition of CMD Inc. and CMD Finish Carpentry
LLC (the “Acquisition”) and the primary purpose of the Offering is to complete the Acquisition.
G. In
connection with the Offering, the parties hereto desire to amend the Purchase Agreement as set forth herein.
H. Pursuant
to Section 5.5 of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument of 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 thereunder.
AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual promises herein contained, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. The
Holders hereby acknowledge and agree that the Floor Price (as defined in the Warrants) is currently $1.50.
2. The
Holders hereby acknowledge that $117,190 of the proceeds of the Prior Offering were used to repay certain debt owed to an affiliate of
the Placement Agent.
3. Section
4.16 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new subsection (d) as follows:
“(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.16 shall not apply to the Offering. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.16(d) solely relates to the
Offering and for no additional offerings of the Company’s securities.”
4. The
Company agrees to, upon shareholder approval, effect the abovementioned resets of Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants.
5. Except
as amended as set forth above, the Purchase Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. In the event of a conflict between the
provisions of this Amendment and the Purchase Agreement, this Amendment shall prevail and govern.
6. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Amendment 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 Amendment (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 this Amendment), 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 the Purchase 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 this Amendment, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.8 of the Purchase Agreement, 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.
7. If
any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Amendment 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.
8. This
Amendment 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, 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.
[remainder of page intentionally left blank]
IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
the undersigned have executed and delivered this Amendment as of the date first written above.
