The capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings given them in Article 6.

In consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Purchasers (severally and not jointly) hereby agree as follows:

The closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place on June 24, 2022 (the “Closing Date”) and will be held remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures or at such other time and place as shall be agreed upon by the Company and the Purchasers hereunder of a majority in interest of the aggregate Shares and Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants to be purchased at the Closing.

Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement or as disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers that:

2.1Registration. The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act and has filed with the SEC a registration statement on such form (Registration File No. 333-263590), which became effective on March 28, 2022, for the registration under the Securities Act of the Securities. Such registration statement meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act and complies with said rule. The Company will file with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, a prospectus supplement within the time period prescribed by Rule 424. Such registration statement, including the exhibits thereto, as amended at the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter called the “Registration Statement”; such prospectus in the form filed with the SEC on March 16, 2022, is hereinafter called the “Base Prospectus”; and the form of prospectus supplement, in the form in which it will be filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) related to the offer of the Securities is hereinafter called the “Prospectus Supplement.” The Base Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, is hereinafter called the “Prospectus”. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”) pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Exchange Act on or before the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included,” “described,” “set forth” or “stated” in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the use of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement has been issued, and no proceeding for any such purpose is pending or has been initiated or, to the Company’s knowledge, is threatened by the SEC.

2.2Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Registration Statement contains all exhibits and schedules as required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time it became effective, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and did not and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, each as of its respective date, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Each of the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, as amended or supplemented, did not and will not contain as of the date thereof any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Incorporated Documents, when they were filed with the SEC, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and none of such Incorporated Documents, when they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations or warranties as to information, if any, contained in or omitted from the Prospectus Supplement or any amendment thereof or

supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Purchaser specifically for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus Supplement.

The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to issue the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the issuance of the Securities and the Warrant Shares) have been duly authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors, or its stockholders is required. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or public policy underlying such laws.

(c)The Company has all franchises, permits, licenses, and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it and as currently proposed to be conducted as disclosed in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, except for such franchise, permit, license or similar authority, the lack of which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company has not received a notice of termination nor is the Company otherwise aware of any threats to terminate any of the Material Agreements.

2.9Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and the Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed quarterly or annual periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date,

the “Evaluation Date”). Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

To the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated any investigation by the SEC of the Company or any director or executive officer of the Company. The Company has not received any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act and, to the Company’s knowledge, the SEC has not issued any such order.

2.12Intellectual Property Rights.

There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein or therein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement and any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and either (a) Purchasers holding Securities representing a majority in interest of the aggregate Shares and Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants purchased at the Closing; provided, however, that such modification, amendment or waiver is made with respect to all Purchasers and does not adversely affect any Purchaser in a manner different than all other Purchasers, or (b) the Purchaser to be charged with enforcement of such modification, amendment or waiver. Any amendment or waiver by a party effected in accordance with this Section 7.5 shall be binding upon, in the case of clause (a) of the preceding sentence, all Purchasers, and, in the case of clause (b) of the preceding sentence, the applicable Purchaser, including with respect to any Securities purchased under this Agreement or Warrant Shares at the time outstanding and held by such parties or party (including securities into which such Securities are convertible and for which such Securities are exercisable) and each future holder of all such securities.

Each Purchaser also recognizes that, if it fails to perform or discharge any of its obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Company. Each Purchaser therefore agrees that the Company is entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case.

7.12Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant 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, or are deemed Affiliates with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

7.13Waiver of Conflicts. Each Purchaser acknowledges that Cooley LLP, outside general counsel to the Company, has in the past performed and is or may now or in the future represent one or more Purchasers or their Affiliates in matters unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Financing”), including representation of such Purchasers or their Affiliates in matters of a similar nature to the Financing. The applicable rules of professional conduct require that Cooley LLP inform the Purchasers hereunder of this representation and obtain their consent. Cooley LLP has served as outside general counsel to the Company and has negotiated the terms of the Financing solely on behalf of the Company. Each Purchaser hereby (a) acknowledges that they have had an opportunity to ask for and have obtained information relevant to such representation, including disclosure of the reasonably foreseeable adverse consequences of such representation, (b) acknowledges that with respect to the Financing, Cooley LLP has represented solely the Company, and not any Purchaser or any stockholder, director or employee of the Company or any Purchaser, and (c) gives its informed consent to Cooley LLP’s representation of the Company in the Financing.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, [

] or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase at the Exercise Price (defined below) from TRACON Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation(the “Company”) with an address of 4350 La Jolla Village Drive, Suite 800, San Diego, CA, 92122, up to [] shares of the Common Stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”), subject to adjustment as provided herein. This Warrant is one of a series of Warrants being issued pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated June 21, 2022, by and among the Company and the original Holder of this Warrant and the other parties named therein (the “Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

1.DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

1.1“Exercise Period” shall mean, subject to Section 2.5, the period commencing June 21, 2022 and ending June 21, 2032, unless sooner terminated as provided below.

1.2“Exercise Price” shall mean $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5 below.

1.3“Exercise Shares” shall mean the shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms herein, including but not limited to adjustment pursuant to Section 5 below.

2.1Method of Exercise. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth above (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):

(b)Payment of the Exercise Price either (i) in cash or by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, or (ii) pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, as described and permitted below; and

Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, shares of Common Stock shall be issued for the Exercise Shares so purchased, and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so designates, within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised and shall be issued in certificate form and delivered to the Holder, if so requested.

The person in whose name any Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of issuance of the shares of Common Stock, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

2.2Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if, at any time during the Exercise Period, the Current Market Price (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), then, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise and the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:


	X =	Y (B-A) B

Where:	X =	the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.

	Y =	the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.

	A =	the Exercise Price.

	B =	the Current Market Price of one share of Common Stock.

(a)if the Common Stock is traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), the closing price of the Common Stock of the Company on such market on the day prior to the applicable date of valuation;

(b)if the Common Stock is traded on any registered national stock exchange but is not traded on Nasdaq, the closing price of the Common Stock of the Company on such exchange on the day prior to the applicable date of valuation;

(c)if the Common Stock is traded over-the-counter, but not on Nasdaq or another registered national stock exchange, the closing bid price of the Common Stock of the Company on the day prior to the applicable date of valuation; and

(d)if there is no active public market for the Common Stock, the value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company upon due consideration of the proposed determination thereof by the Holder.

2.3Partial Exercise. If this Warrant is exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant, execute and deliver, within 10 days of the date of exercise, a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder, or such other person as shall be designated in the Notice of Exercise, to purchase the balance of the Exercise Shares purchasable hereunder. In no event shall this Warrant be exercised for a fractional Exercise Share, and the Company shall not distribute a Warrant exercisable for a fractional Exercise Share. Fractional Warrant shares shall be treated as provided in Section 6 hereof.

2.4No Settlement for Cash. The Warrant cannot be settled with the Company for cash and except with respect to fractional shares as provided herein, the Company shall have no obligation to pay cash upon any exercise of this Warrant.

2.5Exercise Limitation. The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains Stockholder Approval for issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage and otherwise satisfies the requirements of Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635 with respect to issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. If, on the last Business Day of the Exercise Period, the Holder cannot exercise this Warrant in full because (i) such exercise would cause the Holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and (ii) Stockholder Approval has not been obtained for such exercise, the Exercise

Period shall automatically, and without any further action of the parties, be extended to June 21, 2042. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (a) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and (b) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, filed with the SEC on the date thereof, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-fifth (65th) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph 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 and comply with any rules of Nasdaq. Notwithstanding any of the limitations set forth in this paragraph, this Warrant shall be fully exercisable in connection with a Liquidation Event (as defined below); provided further that this sentence shall not be given effect to the extent it could conflict with the rules of Nasdaq or any similar rule of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed at the relevant time. In accordance with such listing standards, this restriction will apply at any time when the Warrant is outstanding, regardless of whether the Company then has a class of securities listed on Nasdaq. For purposes herein, “Liquidation Event” shall mean the consummation of any of the following transactions: (a) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly owned subsidiary, a reincorporation or continuation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the stockholders of the Company), (b) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (c) the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of the Company by a single stockholder and its Affiliates as a result of a tender offer or similar transaction.

3.1Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities as provided herein) to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

3.2No Impairment. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder or otherwise in accordance with Section 11 hereof, the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as such may be amended from time to time), or through any means, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.

3.3Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend

(other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least 10 days prior to the date thereof, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.

3.4Distributions. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) (the “Distributed Property”) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled, upon exercise of this Warrant for the purchase of any or all of the Exercise Shares, to receive the amount of Distributed Property which would have been payable to the Holder had such Holder been the holder of such Exercise Shares on the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such Distributed Property. The Company will at all times set aside in escrow and keep available for distribution to such Holder upon exercise of this Warrant a portion of the Distributed Property to satisfy the distribution to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to the preceding sentence.

3.5Fundamental Transactions. If the Company consummates (a) a merger or consolidation with or into another entity, as a result of which the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting securities as of immediately prior to such merger or consolidation hold less than a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or successor entity as of immediately after such merger or consolidation or (b) a sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another person or entity (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a “Fundamental Transaction”), then the Company shall ensure that lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Exercise Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Exercise Shares equal to the number of Exercise Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, had such Fundamental Transaction not taken place. The provisions of this Section 3.5 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions.

5.ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number, class, and kind of shares subject to this Warrant. The Company shall promptly provide a certificate from an executive officer of the Company notifying the Holder in writing of any adjustment in the Exercise Price and/or the total number, class, and kind of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, which certificate shall specify the Exercise Price and number, class and kind of shares under this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment.

6.FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the Exercise Price by such fraction.

7.CERTAIN EVENTS. In the event of, at any time during the Exercise Period, any capital reorganization, or any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), or the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger solely to effect a reincorporation of the Company into another jurisdiction), in each case, in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, will hold less than a

majority of the outstanding shares of the Company or resulting corporation immediately after such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in its entirety to any other person, other than sales or other dispositions that do not require stockholder approval (each, an “Event”), the Company shall provide to the Holder 10 days’ advance written notice of such Event, and the Holder shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to allow any unexercised portion of the Warrant to be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to Section 2.2, subject to Section 2.5. This Warrant will be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company upon an Event.

8.NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

9.TRANSFER OF WARRANT. Subject to applicable laws, including compliance with all applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by Holder.

10.LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed and in lieu thereof.

11.MODIFICATIONS AND WAIVER. Except for Section 2.5 of this Warrant at any time prior to the Company attaining Stockholder Approval for issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage and the Company otherwise satisfies the requirements of Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635 with respect to issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, this Warrant and any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and either (a) Purchasers holding Pre-Funded Warrants representing at least 75% of the number of Exercise Shares then issuable upon exercise of all Pre-Funded Warrants sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, provided, however, that such modification, amendment or waiver is made with respect to all Pre-Funded Warrants and does not adversely affect any Purchaser holding Pre-Funded Warrants in a manner different than all other Purchasers holding Pre-Funded Warrants or (b) the Holder. Any modification, amendment or waiver by a party effected in accordance with this Section 11 shall be binding upon, in the case of clause (a) of the preceding sentence, all Purchasers holding Pre-Funded Warrants, and, in the case of clause (b) of the preceding sentence, the Holder, including with respect to any Exercise Shares then issuable and held by such parties or party and each future holder of all such securities. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 2.5 of this Warrant may not be changed, waived, discharged or terminated at any time prior to the Company attaining Stockholder Approval for issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage and the Company otherwise satisfies the requirements of Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635 with respect to issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant.

12.NOTICES, ETC. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed email if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next Business Day, (c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company at the address or email address listed on the signature page and to the Holder at the address or email address on the Company records, or at such other address or email address as the Company or Holder may designate by 10 days’ advance written notice to the other party hereto.

13.ACCEPTANCE. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.

14.GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.

15.DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS. The descriptive headings of the several paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. The language in this Warrant shall be construed as to its fair meaning without regard to which party drafted this Warrant.

16.SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Warrant in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, or affect any other provision of this Warrant, which shall remain in full force and effect.

17.ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Warrant constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter contained in it and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and undertakings of the parties, whether oral or written, with respect to such subject matter.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be executed by its duly authorized officer as of June 21, 2022.
