REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. In order to induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and to purchase the Shares, the Company hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Purchaser, as applicable:

(a) Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted. Other than Lixte Biotechnology, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the Company does not have any subsidiaries or own securities of any kind in any other entity. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified will not have a Material Adverse Effect. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects or financial condition of the Company which is material to such entity or other entities controlling or controlled by such entity or which is likely to materially affect the Company’s business or hinder the performance by the Company of its material obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (as defined in Section 2.1(b) hereof).

Exhibit 10.1 – Page 1

(b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement in connection with the closing of the purchase by Purchaser of the Shares, and the other agreements and documents contemplated hereby and thereby and executed by the Company or to which the Company is party (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), and to issue and sell the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of the Company, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) or its stockholders is required. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company. The other Transaction Documents will have been duly executed and delivered by the Company at or prior to the Closing. Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

(c) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company and the shares thereof issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2017, are set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto. All of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock and any other security of the Company have been duly and validly authorized. No shares of Common Stock or any other security of the Company are entitled to preemptive rights or registration rights and there are no outstanding options, scrip, rights to subscribe to, call or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the Company. Furthermore, except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, there are no contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional shares of the capital stock of the Company or options, securities or rights convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company. Except for customary transfer restrictions contained in agreements entered into by the Company in order to sell restricted securities or as provided on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, the Company is not a party to or bound by any agreement or understanding granting registration or anti-dilution rights to any individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind (each, a “Person”) with respect to any of its equity or debt securities. The Company is not a party to, and it has no knowledge of, any agreement or understanding restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of the Company. The offer and sale of all capital stock, convertible securities, rights, or options of the Company issued prior to the Closing complied with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and no holder of such securities has a right of rescission or claim for damages with respect thereto which could have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Issuance of Shares. The Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when paid for or issued in accordance with the terms hereof, the Shares shall be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and rights of refusal of any kind.

(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the Articles or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party or by which the Company’s respective properties or assets are bound, (iii) create or impose a lien, mortgage, security interest, charge or encumbrance of any nature on any property or asset of the Company under any agreement or any commitment to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or by which any of their respective properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) or (iv) (with respect to federal and state securities laws) above, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The business of the Company is not being conducted in violation of any laws, ordinances or regulations of any governmental entity, except for possible violations which singularly or in the aggregate do not and will not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not required under federal, state, foreign or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or issue and sell the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof (other than any filings which may be required to be made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and/or FINRA prior to or subsequent to the Closing, or state securities administrators subsequent to the Closing, or any registration statement which may be filed pursuant hereto or thereto).

(f) Commission Documents; Financial Statements. The Company has made available to Purchaser through the EDGAR system, true and complete copies of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (the “Form 10-K”), and all other reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities Act and the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, since December 31, 2016 (all of the foregoing, including filings incorporated by reference therein, being referred to herein as the “Commission Documents”). The Company has not provided to Purchaser any material non-public information or other information which, according to applicable law, rule or regulation, should have been disclosed publicly by the Company but which has not been so disclosed, other than with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. At the time of their filing, other than the timeliness of the filings, each Commission Document complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder and other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to such documents, and, at the time of its filing, each Commission Document did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the Commission Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the Notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements), and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its subsidiary as of the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).

Exhibit 10.1 – Page 3

(i) No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. Since December 31, 2016, except as disclosed in the Commission Documents filed prior to the date hereof, (i) to the Company’s knowledge, there has been no event, occurrence or development that has had or that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to GAAP or disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered its method of accounting, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities to any officer, director or affiliate, except pursuant to any existing Company stock option plans. The Company does not have pending before the Commission any request for confidential treatment of information. Except for the issuance of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement, no event, liability, fact, circumstance, occurrence or development has occurred or exists or is reasonably expected to occur or exist with respect to the Company or its subsidiary or their respective businesses, properties, operations, assets or financial condition that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws at the time this representation is made or deemed made that has not been publicly disclosed at least one (1) trading day prior to the date that this representation is made.

(j) Actions Pending. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution proceeding or other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against the Company which questions the validity of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Except as disclosed in the Commission Documents, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution proceeding or other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or involving the Company or any of their respective properties or assets, which individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against the Company or any officers or directors of the Company in their capacities as such, which individually, or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(k) Compliance with Law. The business of the Company has been and is presently being conducted in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local governmental laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, except as set forth in the Commission Documents or such that, individually or in the aggregate, the noncompliance therewith would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has all franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it unless the failure to possess such franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(l) Taxes. The Company has accurately prepared and filed all federal, state and other tax returns required by law to be filed by it, has paid or made provisions for the payment of all taxes shown to be due and all additional assessments, and adequate provisions have been and are reflected in the financial statements of the Company for all current taxes and other charges to which the Company is subject and which are not currently due and payable. None of the federal income tax returns of the Company have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company has no knowledge of any additional assessments, adjustments or contingent tax liability (whether federal or state) of any nature whatsoever, whether pending or threatened against the Company for any period, nor of any basis for any such assessment, adjustment or contingency.

(m) Certain Fees. The Company has not employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage or investment banking fees, commissions, finders’ structuring fees, financial advisory fees or other similar fees in connection with the Transaction Documents.

(n) Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Shares by the Company to Purchaser as contemplated hereby. The issuance and sale of the Shares hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the OTC Markets, or any other market or exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the Closing Date.

Exhibit 10.1 – Page 4

Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company:

(a) Authorization and Power. Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform the Transaction Documents and to purchase the Shares being sold to it hereunder. No further consent or authorization of Purchaser is required. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Purchaser. The other Transaction Documents constitute, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, valid and binding obligations of Purchaser enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

(b) Acquisition for Investment. Purchaser is purchasing the Shares solely for his own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with the distribution thereof. Purchaser does not have a present intention to sell any of the Shares, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or intention to effect any distribution of any of the Shares to or through any Person; provided, however, that by making the representations herein and subject to Section 2.2(e) below, Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to pledge any of the Securities for margin purposes and/or to dispose of any of the Shares at any time in accordance with federal and state securities laws applicable to such disposition. Purchaser acknowledges that it (i) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company, (ii) is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the Shares, and (iii) has been given full access to such records of the Company and to the officers of the Company as it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation.

(c) Rule 144. Purchaser understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. Purchaser acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and that Purchaser has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, Purchaser will be unable to sell any Shares without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.

(d) General. Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the suitability of Purchaser to acquire the Shares. Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares.

(e) Experience of Purchaser; Independent Investment Decision. Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(f) No General Solicitation. Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares were not offered to Purchaser by means of any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting to which Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications.

Exhibit 10.1 – Page 5

(g) Accredited Investor. At the time Purchaser was offered the Shares, he was, and at the date hereof he is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk.

(h) Compliance. No part of the funds being used by Purchaser to acquire the Securities has been, or shall be, directly or indirectly derived from, or related to, any activity that may contravene United States federal or state or non-United States laws or regulations, including, without limitation, Money Laundering Laws.
