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) No Voting Agreements. The Purchaser is not a party to any agreement or arrangement, whether written or oral, between the Purchaser and any other Purchaser and any of the Company’s stockholders as of the date hereof, regulating the management of the Company, the stockholders’ rights in the Company, the transfer of shares in the Company, including any voting agreements, stockholder agreements or any other similar agreement even if its title is different or has any other relations or agreements with any of the Company’s stockholders, directors or officers.

24

(h) Brokers. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.2(h), no agent, broker, investment banker, person or firm acting in a similar capacity on behalf of or under the authority of the Purchaser is or will be entitled to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any other commission or similar fee, directly or indirectly, for which the Company or any of its Affiliates after the Closing could have any liabilities in connection with this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or on account of any action taken by the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(i) 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, except as set forth in this Agreement, 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 Removal of Legends.

(a) The Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares other than pursuant to an effective Resale Registration Statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of the applicable Purchaser, the Company may require the transferor 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 Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares under the Securities Act.

(b) Each Purchaser agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares in the following form:

NEITHER THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS CONVERTIBLE] HAVE 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, (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.

25

(c) Certificates evidencing the Shares or the Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) following any sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, when available, or (ii) 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 at its expense cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, subject to compliance with the Securities Act and/or Rule 144, when available. For the avoidance of doubt the Company shall pay all costs associated with such opinions. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective Resale Registration Statement to cover the resale of the Shares or the Warrant Shares, or if such Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirements of Rule 144(c) and without volume or manner of sale restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including Sections 4(a)(1) or 4(a)(7), judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC, including what is known as Section 4(a)(1½)) then such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. For avoidance of doubt, the Company agrees that after the requisite holding period to comply with Rule 144, the legend may be removed under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, assuming the holder satisfies the requirements of Rule 144. Certificates for Shares or Warrant Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to such Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser.

(d) In the event any Purchaser shall request delivery of unlegended shares as described in this Section 4.1 and the Company is required to deliver such unlegended shares and such request is not in violation of United States securities laws, such Purchaser shall pay all fees and expenses associated with or required by the legend removal and/or transfer, including legal fees, transfer agent fees and overnight delivery charges and taxes, if any, imposed by any applicable government upon the issuance of Common Stock.

26

4.2 Registration; Furnishing of Information. Until the earliest of (a) the time that no Purchaser owns any Securities and (b) the expiration of all of the Common Warrants, 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).

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 stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

4.4 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, within the time required by applicable laws following the date of execution of this Agreement, issue a press release announcing the entry into this Agreement. The Company shall, within the time required by applicable laws following the date of execution of this Agreement, file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission, disclosing the material terms of this Agreement, including the forms of Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto. From and after the filing of the Form 8-K as provided in the preceding sentence, 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 or Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, 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 oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, 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; provided, that no such termination will affect the right of the Company to sue for any breach of such obligations by any party (or parties) prior to termination. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission, and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b) and reasonably cooperate with such Purchaser regarding such disclosure.

27

4.5 Stockholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.

4.6 Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have entered into a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates delivers any material, non-public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, and of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information; provided, that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously 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.

4.7 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for repayment of certain outstanding convertible notes, working capital purposes and general corporate purposes, including any pending or future acquisitions, and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than as described above, payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business or repayment of obligations outstanding as of the date of this Agreement consistent with prior practices); (b) for the redemption of any shares of Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, or Common Stock Equivalents; (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation; or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations or similar applicable regulations.

28

4.8 Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents (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), 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, stockholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser Party in any capacity (including a Purchaser Party’s status as an investor), or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by the Company or any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, arising out of or relating to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification provided herein is intended to, and shall also cover, direct claims brought by the Company against the Purchaser Parties; provided, that such indemnification shall not cover any loss, claim, damage or liability to the extent it is finally judicially determined to be attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in any Transaction Document 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, except with respect to direct claims brought by the Company, 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 to the applicable Purchaser Party (which may be internal 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 for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition, if any Purchaser Party takes actions to collect amounts due under any Transaction Documents or to enforce any provisions of any Transaction Documents, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by such Purchaser Party for such collection, enforcement or action, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and disbursements. The indemnification and other payment obligations required by this Section 4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation, defense, collection, enforcement or action, as and when bills are received or are incurred; provided, that if any Purchaser Party is finally judicially determined not to be entitled to indemnification or payment under this Section 4.8, such Purchaser Party shall promptly reimburse the Company for any payments that are advanced under this sentence. 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.

29

4.9 Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the shares of Common Stock on each Trading Market on which each is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Markets and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Markets. The Company further agrees that, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the 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 the Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock 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.

4.10 Subsequent Equity Sales.

(a) From the date hereof until forty five (45) days after the date on which the Resale Registration Statement is first filed with the Commission, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, or Common Stock Equivalents, other than an Exempt Issuance, or (ii) file any registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto, other than: (A) the Resale Registration Statement; (B) a registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with any employee benefit plan; or (C) the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant the Equitization Agreements; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no resale registration statement may be filed with the Commission with respect to any securities issued pursuant to any of the Equitization Agreements until the date that is forty five (45) days after the date on which the Resale Registration Statement is first filed with the Commission.

(b) From the date hereof until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of shares of Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units 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 shares of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock 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 Stock 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 shares of Common Stock or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit or an “at-the-market offering”, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price regardless of whether shares pursuant to such agreement have actually been issued and regardless of whether such agreement is subsequently canceled, in the case of each of (i) and (ii), other than pursuant to: (1) conversion transactions under the Yorkville Promissory Notes, which such conversion transactions may be effected on a date no earlier than ninety one (91) days after the Closing Date (the “YA Note Conversion”); or (2) sales of the Company’s Common Stock under the SEPA at a price per share not less than 300% of the Per Share Purchase Price (the “Exempt SEPA Sales”). 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.

30

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.10 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance other than as specified in Sections ‎4.10‎(b)(ii)(1) and ‎4.10‎(b)(ii)(2).

4.11 Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of the Transaction Documents) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. 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 the shares of Common Stock 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (a) 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, (b) 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 (c) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company to the Company or its Subsidiaries 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.

31

4.13 Exercise Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, unless required by the Company’s Transfer Agent, 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 Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

4.14 Reservations of Shares. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.

4.15 Lock-Up Agreement. The Company shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of the Lock-Up Agreement, except to extend the term of the lock-up period, and shall enforce the provisions of the Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with its terms. If any party to the Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of the Lock-Up Agreement, the Company shall promptly use its best efforts to seek specific performance of the terms of the Lock-Up Agreement.

4.16 Subsequent Registrations. If as result of a Commission Staff policy, rule or regulation the Company is unable to register all of any Purchaser’s Securities, then not later than thirty (30) days (or such later time as is required by the Staff of the Commission or any rule of the Commission) after any Resale Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the Commission, the Company shall file another Resale Registration Statement including all or a portion of such Purchaser’s Securities and comply with the terms and conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. This covenant shall remain in effect, and the Company shall continue to file subsequent Resale Registration Statements and comply with the terms and conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement in connection with each such filing until all of each Purchaser’s Securities shall have been registered.

ARTICLE V.

MISCELLANEOUS

5.1 Termination.

32

5.2 Fees and Expenses.

5.5 Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Purchasers who purchased at least 50.1% in interest of the sum of (a) the Shares and (b) the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares initially issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants based on the initial Subscription Amounts hereunder (or, prior to the Closing, the Company and each Purchaser), or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought; provided, that, if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Purchaser (or multiple Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Purchaser (or 50.1% in interest of such Purchasers) shall also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities and the Company.

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Action or Proceeding.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or 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 facsimile or “.pdf” signature page was 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, that, in the case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock 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 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.

35

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. 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 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.

5.19 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.

5.20 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 shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions relating to shares of Common Stock 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.

Exhibit A

Form of Common Warrant

(See Attached) 

THIS WARRANT (AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS IS AVAILABLE. NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS WARRANT AND SUCH

PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANT AGREEMENT

No.

Warrant Shares:

banzai international, INC.

This Private Placement Warrant Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of September 20, 2024 (the “Issue Date”) and entered into by and between Banzai International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned, (together with its successors and assigns, the “Warrant Holder”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

1. Grant of Warrant. The Company hereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, issues to the Warrant Holder a warrant (the “Warrant”) evidenced by this Agreement to purchase the number of shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”) set forth herein (the shares of Common Stock issuable to the Warrant Holder hereunder (as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof), individually a “Warrant Share” and collectively, the “Warrant Shares”) for an exercise price of $4.02 per Warrant Share.

2. Term and Termination of Warrant. The Warrant shall expire on the first to occur of (a) five (5) years from the Issue Date, or (b) the occurrence of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or Deemed Liquidation Event, as such term is defined in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (as amended from time to time, including any Certificates of Designation filed pursuant thereto) (the “Expiration Date”).

3. Exercise of the Warrant.

(a) Exercise Price. Each Warrant entitles the Warrant Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, to purchase from the Company the number of Warrant Shares stated therein, at $4.02 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 6 hereof (the “Exercise Price”).

(b) Exercise and Payment. The purchase rights represented by the Warrant may be exercised in round lots only by the Warrant Holder, in whole or in part, at any time following the Issue Date during the period prior to the Expiration Date by the surrender of the Warrant (together with a duly executed notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”) at the principal office of the Company and by the payment to the Company by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds of an amount equal to (A) the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased upon exercise of the Warrant multiplied by (B) the then current Exercise Price per Warrant Share (the “Warrant Price”);

(c) Cashless Exercise. If at any time after the date hereof, there is no effective registration or offering statement effective or qualified in connection with, or no current prospectus or offering circular available for, the public resale of the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” by instructing the Company to issue Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of all or any part of this Warrant on a net basis such that, without payment of any cash consideration or other immediately available funds, the Warrant Holder shall surrender this Warrant in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares as is computed using the following formula X = Y(A - B) ÷ A:

Where:

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Warrant Holder.

Y = the total number of Warrant Shares for which the Holder has elected to exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(c).

A = the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock as of the applicable Exercise Date.

B = the Exercise Price per Warrant Share in effect under this Warrant as of the applicable Exercise Date.

“Fair Market Value” means, with respect to a share of Common Stock as of any date, (a) if the Common Stock is then listed on a national securities exchange, the daily volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a trading day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time), (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed on a United States national securities exchange, the closing sale price per share on such day (or the nearest preceding date) (or if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the reported closing bid and ask prices or, if there is more than one bid or ask price, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) as reported by OTC Markets or another nationally recognized over-the-counter quotation service, or (c) at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any securities exchange or quoted by OTC Markets or another nationally recognized over-the-counter quotation service, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent third party valuation firm experienced in valuing securities jointly selected by the Company and the exercising Warrant Holder. The determination of any third party valuation firm pursuant to the foregoing clause (c) shall be final and binding upon the Company and the holder(s) of the Warrants, and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such third party valuation firm.

(d) Warrant Shares. On or before the third (3^rd) business day following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice, so long as the Warrant Holder delivers the aggregate Exercise Price payable with respect to such exercise, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Warrant Holder or, at the Warrant Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice, the Warrant Holder’s agent or designee, in each case, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Warrant Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Exercise Notice), for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Warrant Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Company’s transfer agent and all fees and expenses with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock via DTC, if available. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, the Warrant 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 such Warrant Shares are credited to the Warrant Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 3 and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is for a greater number of Warrant Shares than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then, at the request of the Warrant Holder, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Warrant Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 10(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

(e) Legend. The Warrant Shares to be acquired by the Warrant Holder pursuant hereto, may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration or offering statement under the Securities Act, or (ii) the Company or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and from an attorney who regularly practices securities law) or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration. Except as otherwise provided in this Warrant (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant have been registered under the Act, otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for Warrant Shares that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE OFFERED AND SOLD TO THE HOLDER WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

2

(f) Removal of Legend. The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue to the Warrant Holder a new certificate therefor free of any transfer legend if (i) the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such securities may be made without registration under the Act and the shares are so sold or transferred, or (ii) such security is registered or qualified for sale by the Warrant Holder under an effective registration statement or offering statement filed under the Act.

(g) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of the Warrant, and a Warrant Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant, pursuant to this Section 3 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Warrant Holder (together with (i) the Warrant Holder’s Affiliates, (ii) any other Persons acting as a group together with the Warrant Holder or any of the Warrant Holder’s Affiliates, and (iii) any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Warrant Holder’s for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Warrant Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Warrant Shares which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of the Warrant beneficially owned by the Warrant Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Warrant Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3(g), 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 Warrant Holder that the Company is not representing to the Warrant Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Warrant Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 3(g) applies, the determination of whether the Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Warrant Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of the Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Warrant Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Warrant Holder’s determination of whether the Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Warrant Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of the 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 and shall have no liability for exercises of the Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, except to the extent the Warrant Holder relies on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock that was provided by the Company. 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, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 3(g), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Warrant Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (I) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as the case may be, (II) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (III) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Warrant Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Warrant Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Warrant, by the Warrant Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(g) 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 the Warrant. If the Warrant is unexercisable solely as a result of the Warrant Holder’s Beneficial Ownership Limitation, no alternate consideration is owing to the Warrant Holder.

3

4. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Warrant Shares.

(a) Stock Fully Paid. All of the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant will, upon issuance and receipt of the Warrant Price for such Warrant Shares, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will be free and clear of all taxes, liens, encumbrances and charges with respect to the issue.

(b) Reservation. For so long as any of the Warrants are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock issuable upon conversion, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, 100% of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all Warrants then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount”).

5. Rights of the Warrant Holder. The Warrant Holder shall have no voting rights as a stockholder or rights to dividends or other distributions in each case with respect to Warrant Shares subject to this Agreement until payment in full of the Warrant Price for Warrant Shares being issued.

6. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the purchase rights granted under this Warrant, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 6 (in each case, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 6).

(a) Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Company payable in shares of Common Stock, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 6(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision or combination becomes effective.

4

(b) Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transaction, in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each Warrant shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Shares then exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Warrant Holder would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction if the Warrant Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made with respect to the Warrant Holder’s rights under this Warrant to insure that the provisions of this Section 6 hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing Person is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment in the Exercise Price to the value per share for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction). The provisions of this Section 6(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or similar transactions. The Company shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the Warrant Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Warrant Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant.

(c) Certificate as to Adjustment.

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Exercise Price, but in any event not later ten (10) days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Warrant Holder a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

(ii) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of a written request by the Warrant Holder, but in any event not later than ten (10) thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Warrant Holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of Warrant Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or assets then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

7. Taxes. The Warrant Holder acknowledges that upon exercise of the Warrant the Warrant Holder may be deemed to have taxable income in respect of the Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares. The Warrant Holder acknowledges that any income or other taxes due from it with respect to the Warrant or the Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to the Warrant shall be the Warrant Holder’s responsibility.

5

8. Representations and Warranties. The Warrant Holder is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is acquiring the Warrants and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants for its own account and not with an intent to resell or distribute such securities.

9. Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Warrant Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of the Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect and (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

10. Reissuance Of Warrants.

(a) Transfer of Warrant. If this Warrant is to be transferred, the Warrant Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, together with, if requested by the Company, an opinion of counsel in customary form and substance and reasonably satisfactory to the Company from an attorney regularly engaged in the practice of securities law, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company, in either case relating to the availability of an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, with respect to such transfer, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Warrant Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 10(d)), registered as the Warrant Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Warrant Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 10(d)) to the Warrant Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification reasonably requested by the Company and in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Warrant Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 10(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.

(c) Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Warrant Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 10(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Warrant Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, that no Warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be given.

6

(d) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 10(a) or Section 10(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Warrant Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.

11. Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Warrant Holder.

12. Severability. If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

13. Choice of Law and Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Consulting Agreement dated January 1, 2018, as amended, by and between the Warrant Holder and the Company.

14. Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Warrant Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Consulting Agreement.

Warrant Shares:

banzai international, INC.

This Pre-Funded Private Placement Warrant Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of September 23, 2024 (the “Issue Date”) and entered into by and between Banzai International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned, (together with its successors and assigns, the “Warrant Holder”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

1. Grant of Warrant. The Company hereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, issues to the Warrant Holder a warrant (the “Warrant”) evidenced by this Agreement to purchase the number of shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”) set forth herein (the shares of Common Stock issuable to the Warrant Holder hereunder (as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof), individually a “Warrant Share” and collectively, the “Warrant Shares”).

2. Term and Termination of Warrant. The Warrant shall be effective from the date hereof until the Warrant is exercised in full (the “Expiration Date”).

3. Exercise of the Warrant.

(a) Exercise Price. The aggregate exercise price of the Warrant, except for a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 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 $0.0001 per Warrant Share) shall be required to be paid by the Warrant Holder to any Person to effect any exercise of the Warrant. The Warrant 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. The remaining unpaid exercise price per Warrant Share under the Warrant shall be $0.0001, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 6 hereof (the “Exercise Price”).

(b) Exercise and Payment. The purchase rights represented by the Warrant may be exercised in round lots only by the Warrant Holder, in whole or in part, at any time following the Issue Date during the period prior to the Expiration Date by the surrender of the Warrant (together with a duly executed notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”) at the principal office of the Company and by the payment to the Company by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds of an amount equal to (A) the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased upon exercise of the Warrant multiplied by (B) the then current Exercise Price per Warrant Share (the “Warrant Price”);

(c) Cashless Exercise. If at any time after the date hereof, there is no effective registration or offering statement effective or qualified in connection with, or no current prospectus or offering circular available for, the public resale of the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” by instructing the Company to issue Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of all or any part of this Warrant on a net basis such that, without payment of any cash consideration or other immediately available funds, the Warrant Holder shall surrender this Warrant in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares as is computed using the following formula X = Y(A - B) ÷ A:

Where:

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Warrant Holder.

Y = the total number of Warrant Shares for which the Holder has elected to exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(c).

A = the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock as of the applicable Exercise Date.

B = the Exercise Price per Warrant Share in effect under this Warrant as of the applicable Exercise Date.

“Fair Market Value” means, with respect to a share of Common Stock as of any date, (a) if the Common Stock is then listed on a national securities exchange, the daily volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a trading day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time), (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed on a United States national securities exchange, the closing sale price per share on such day (or the nearest preceding date) (or if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the reported closing bid and ask prices or, if there is more than one bid or ask price, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) as reported by OTC Markets or another nationally recognized over-the-counter quotation service, or (c) at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any securities exchange or quoted by OTC Markets or another nationally recognized over-the-counter quotation service, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent third party valuation firm experienced in valuing securities jointly selected by the Company and the exercising Warrant Holder. The determination of any third party valuation firm pursuant to the foregoing clause (c) shall be final and binding upon the Company and the holder(s) of the Warrants, and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such third party valuation firm.

(d) Warrant Shares. On or before the third (3^rd) business day following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice, so long as the Warrant Holder delivers the aggregate Exercise Price payable with respect to such exercise, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Warrant Holder or, at the Warrant Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice, the Warrant Holder’s agent or designee, in each case, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Warrant Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Exercise Notice), for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Warrant Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Company’s transfer agent and all fees and expenses with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock via DTC, if available. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, the Warrant 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 such Warrant Shares are credited to the Warrant Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 3 and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is for a greater number of Warrant Shares than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then, at the request of the Warrant Holder, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Warrant Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 10(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

2

(e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of the Warrant, and a Warrant Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant, pursuant to this Section 3 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Warrant Holder (together with (i) the Warrant Holder’s Affiliates, (ii) any other Persons acting as a group together with the Warrant Holder or any of the Warrant Holder’s Affiliates, and (iii) any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Warrant Holder’s for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Warrant Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Warrant Shares which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of the Warrant beneficially owned by the Warrant Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Warrant Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Warrant Holder that the Company is not representing to the Warrant Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Warrant Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 3(e) applies, the determination of whether the Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Warrant Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of the Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Warrant Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Warrant Holder’s determination of whether the Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Warrant Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of the 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 and shall have no liability for exercises of the Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, except to the extent the Warrant Holder relies on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock that was provided by the Company. 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, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 3(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Warrant Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (I) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as the case may be, (II) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (III) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Warrant Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Warrant Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Warrant, by the Warrant Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, at the election of the Warrant Holder prior to the issuance of the Warrant, 9.99% or 19.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. The Warrant Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 3(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant held by the Warrant Holder and the provisions of this Section 3(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of the Warrant. If the Warrant is unexercisable solely as a result of the Warrant Holder’s Beneficial Ownership Limitation, no alternate consideration is owing to the Warrant Holder.

3

(f) Legend. The Warrant Shares to be acquired by the Warrant Holder pursuant hereto, may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration or offering statement under the Securities Act, or (ii) the Company or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and from an attorney who regularly practices securities law) or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration. Except as otherwise provided in this Warrant (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant have been registered under the Act, otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for Warrant Shares that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE OFFERED AND SOLD TO THE HOLDER WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

(g) Removal of Legend. The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue to the Warrant Holder a new certificate therefor free of any transfer legend if (i) the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such securities may be made without registration under the Act and the shares are so sold or transferred, or (ii) such security is registered or qualified for sale by the Warrant Holder under an effective registration statement or offering statement filed under the Act.

4. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Warrant Shares.

(a) Stock Fully Paid. All of the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant will, upon issuance and receipt of the Warrant Price for such Warrant Shares, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will be free and clear of all taxes, liens, encumbrances and charges with respect to the issue.

(b) Reservation. For so long as any of the Warrants are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock issuable upon conversion, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, 100% of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all Warrants then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount”).

5. Rights of the Warrant Holder. The Warrant Holder shall have no voting rights as a stockholder or rights to dividends or other distributions in each case with respect to Warrant Shares subject to this Agreement until payment in full of the Warrant Price for Warrant Shares being issued.

6. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the purchase rights granted under this Warrant, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 6 (in each case, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 6).

(a) Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Company payable in shares of Common Stock, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 6(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision or combination becomes effective.

4

(b) Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transaction, in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each Warrant shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Shares then exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Warrant Holder would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction if the Warrant Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made with respect to the Warrant Holder’s rights under this Warrant to insure that the provisions of this Section 6 hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing Person is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment in the Exercise Price to the value per share for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction). The provisions of this Section 6(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or similar transactions. The Company shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the Warrant Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Warrant Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant.

(c) Certificate as to Adjustment.

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Exercise Price, but in any event not later ten (10) days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Warrant Holder a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

(ii) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of a written request by the Warrant Holder, but in any event not later than ten (10) thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Warrant Holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of Warrant Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or assets then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

5

7. Taxes. The Warrant Holder acknowledges that upon exercise of the Warrant the Warrant Holder may be deemed to have taxable income in respect of the Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares. The Warrant Holder acknowledges that any income or other taxes due from it with respect to the Warrant or the Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to the Warrant shall be the Warrant Holder’s responsibility.

8. Representations and Warranties. The Warrant Holder is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is acquiring the Warrants and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants for its own account and not with an intent to resell or distribute such securities.

9. Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Warrant Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of the Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect and (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

10. Reissuance Of Warrants.

(a) Transfer of Warrant. If this Warrant is to be transferred, the Warrant Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, together with, if requested by the Company, an opinion of counsel in customary form and substance and reasonably satisfactory to the Company from an attorney regularly engaged in the practice of securities law, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company, in either case relating to the availability of an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, with respect to such transfer, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Warrant Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 10(d)), registered as the Warrant Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Warrant Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 10(d)) to the Warrant Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification reasonably requested by the Company and in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Warrant Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 10(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.

(c) Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Warrant Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 10(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Warrant Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, that no Warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be given.

6

(d) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 10(a) or Section 10(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Warrant Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.

11. Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Warrant Holder.

12. Severability. If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

13. Choice of Law and Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Consulting Agreement dated January 1, 2018, as amended, by and between the Warrant Holder and the Company.

14. Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Warrant Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Consulting Agreement.

Beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. In order to enforce this covenant, the Company shall impose irrevocable stop-transfer instructions preventing the transfer agent of the Company from effecting any actions in violation of this Lock-Up Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer the Securities provided that (1) the Company receives a signed lock-up agreement (in the form of this Lock-Up Agreement) for the balance of the Restriction Period from each donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be, prior to such transfer, (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (3) such transfer is not required to be reported with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the Exchange Act and no report of such transfer shall be made voluntarily, and (4) neither the undersigned nor any donee, trustee, distributee or transferee, as the case may be, otherwise voluntarily effects any public filing or report regarding such transfers, with respect to transfer:

ii) to any immediate family member or to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (for purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin);

iii) to any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other business entity all of the equity holders of which consist of the undersigned and/or the immediate family of the undersigned;

6. Indemnification.

(a) In the event of any registration of any shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Holder, its Affiliates, and their respective Representatives, successors and assigns, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which each Holder, its Affiliates, and its respective Representatives, successors and assigns may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incident to registration or qualification of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(d) herein, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or, with respect to any prospectus, necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or state securities or blue sky laws or relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration or qualification under the Securities Act or such state securities or blue sky laws. If the Company fails to defend the Holder, its Affiliates, and its respective Representatives, successors and assigns, as applicable, as required by Section 6(c) herein, it shall reimburse (after receipt of appropriate documentation) each Holder, its Affiliates, and its respective Representatives, successors and assigns for any legal or any other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to a Holder, its Affiliates, or its respective Representatives, successors or assigns in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in said Registration Statement, said preliminary prospectus, said prospectus, or said amendment or supplement or any document incident to registration or qualification of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder, its Affiliates, or its respective Representatives, successors or assigns specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

(b) In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 6(a)) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signs such Registration Statement, the Company’s attorneys and auditors and any Person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability that arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission from such Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if and to the extent that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder specifically for use in the preparation of such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendment or supplement.

5

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in Section 6(a) or (b), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action. The indemnifying party shall be relieved of its obligations under this Section 6(c) if and to the extent that the indemnified party delays in giving notice and the indemnifying party is damaged or prejudiced by the delay. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so as to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that, if counsel for an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there is an actual or potential conflict of interest between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel (including local counsel, if applicable) retained by the indemnified party which are reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 6; provided, further, that in no event shall any indemnification by a Holder under this Section 6 exceed the net proceeds from the sale of Registrable Securities received by such Holder. No indemnified party shall make any settlement of any claims indemnified against hereunder without the written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that any indemnifying party enters into any settlement without the written consent of the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff of a release of such indemnified party from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which (i) any indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6, but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 6 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 6; then, in each such case, the Company and each such Holder shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and such Holder in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, it being understood that the parties acknowledge that the overriding equitable consideration to be given effect in connection with this provision is the ability of one party or the other to correct the statement or omission (or avoid the conduct or take an act) which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, and that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were to be determined by pro-rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into consideration the foregoing equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) no such Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds to it of all Registrable Securities sold by it pursuant to such Registration Statement, and (B) no Person who is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

7. Rule 144. The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the reasonable request of the Holders, make publicly available such necessary information for so long as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144), and it will take such further action as the Holders may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

6

8. Severability.

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.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or 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 facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

This Agreement shall not confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not parties hereto, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, including this Section 10.

11. Notices and Addresses. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email at the email address specified in this Section 11 prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email at the email address specified in this Section 11 on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, (c) the Trading Day following the date of delivery to a carrier, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service next Trading Day delivery, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, except by a statement in writing signed by the party or parties against which enforcement of the change, waiver discharge or termination is sought.

13. Additional Documents. The parties hereto shall execute such additional instruments as may be reasonably required by their counsel in order to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement and to fulfill the obligations of the parties hereunder.

14. Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction; Attorneys’ Fees. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement 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 hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in New York, New York, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company elsewhere in this 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.
