GENERAL INFORMATION

To the Holders of Common Stock of Nature’s Miracle Holding Inc.:

This Information Statement is first being mailed on or about September 9, 2024 to the holders of record of the outstanding voting stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of Nature’s Miracle Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), as of the close of business on August 23, 2024 (the “Record Date”), pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

AUTHORIZATION BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

AND THE MAJORITY SHAREHOLDERS

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and the Company’s Bylaws, any action that can be taken at an annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that will be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted to consent to such action in writing. The approval of the Approval of Certificate of Incorporation Amendment for Split, the Approval of Warrant Amendment, the Approval of July 2024 Underwritten Offering, the Approval of July 2024 Private Placements and the Approval of August 2024 Private Placement requires the affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of stock. Each holder of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), is entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock held of record on any matter which may properly come before the shareholders.

On the Record Date, the Company had 31,636,751 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, with the holders thereof being entitled to cast one vote per share. On August 23, 2024, the Majority Shareholders adopted resolutions approving the Approval of Certificate of Incorporation Amendment for Split, the Approval of Warrant Amendment, the Approval of July 2024 Underwritten Offering, the Approval of July 2024 Private Placements and the Approval of August 2024 Private Placement.

CONSENTING SHAREHOLDERS

On August 23, 2024, the Majority Shareholders, being the record holder of 18,840,358 shares of Common Stock adopted resolutions, among other things, approving the adoption of the Approval of Certificate of Incorporation Amendment for Split, the Approval of Warrant Amendment, the Approval of July 2024 Underwritten Offering, the Approval of July 2024 Private Placements and the Approval of August 2024 Private Placement. The voting power held by the Majority Shareholders represented approximately 59.6% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding stock of the Company as of the Record Date.

We are not seeking written consent from any other shareholder of the Company, and the other shareholders will not be given an opportunity to vote with respect to the Approval of Certificate of Incorporation Amendment for Split, the Approval of Warrant Amendment, the Approval of July 2024 Underwritten Offering, the Approval of July 2024 Private Placements and the Approval of August 2024 Private Placement. All necessary corporate approvals have been obtained. This Information Statement is furnished solely for the purposes of advising shareholders of the action taken by Written Consents and giving shareholders notice of such actions taken as required by the Exchange Act.

As the actions relating to the Approval of Certificate of Incorporation Amendment for Split, the Approval of Warrant Amendment, the Approval of July 2024 Underwritten Offering, the Approval of July 2024 Private Placements and the Approval of August 2024 Private Placement were taken by Written Consent, there will be no security holders’ meeting and representatives of the principal accountants for the current year and for the most recently completed fiscal year will not have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will not be available to respond to appropriate questions from our shareholders.

APPROVAL OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AMENDMENT TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF OUR COMMON STOCK AT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT RATIO RANGING FROM 1:2 TO 1:30, INCLUSIVE, AS DETERMINED BY OUR BOARD IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION

Reverse Stock Split

The Majority Shareholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our Common Stock at a reverse stock split ratio ranging from 1:2 to 1:30, inclusive, as may be determined at the appropriate time by our Board in its sole discretion (the “Reverse Stock Split”). This means that our Board will be able to decide whether and when to effect the Reverse Stock Split without further action from the stockholders.

Reasons for a Reverse Stock Split

Maintaining our Listing on Nasdaq

The primary purpose of the Reverse Stock Split is to raise the per share trading price of our common stock in order to maintain our listing on The Nasdaq Global Market. Delisting from Nasdaq may adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through the public or private sale of our equity securities, may significantly affect the ability of investors to trade in our securities and may negatively affect the value and liquidity of our Common Stock. Delisting may also have other negative impacts, including potential loss of employee confidence, the loss of institutional investors, the loss of analyst coverage or the loss of business development opportunities.

Potentially Improving the Marketability and Liquidity of our Common Stock

The Board believes that an increased stock price may also improve the marketability and liquidity of our Common Stock. For example, many brokerages, institutional investors and funds have internal policies that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers by restricting or limiting the ability to purchase such stocks on margin. Additionally, investors may be dissuaded from purchasing stocks below certain prices because brokers’ commissions, as a percentage of the total transaction value, can be higher for low-priced stocks.

Decreasing the Risk of Market Manipulation of our Common Stock

The Board believes that the potential increase in stock price may reduce the risk of market manipulation of our Common Stock, which we believe is enhanced when our stock trades below $1.00 per share. By reducing market manipulation risk, we may also thereby potentially decrease the volatility of our stock price.

Providing us the Ability to Issue Additional Securities

A Reverse Stock Split is expected to increase the number of authorized, but unissued and unreserved, shares of our common stock. These additional shares would provide flexibility to us for raising capital; repurchasing debt; providing equity incentives to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors (including pursuant to our equity compensation plan); expanding our business through the acquisition of other businesses and for other purposes. However, at present, we do not have any specific plans, arrangements, understandings or commitments for the additional shares that would become available.

Accordingly, for these and other reasons, the Board believes that a Reverse Stock Split is in the best interests of us and our stockholders. A copy of the draft of the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation providing for the Reverse Stock Split is attached hereto as Annex A.

Criteria to be Used for Determining Whether to Implement a Reverse Stock Split

This proposal gives our Board the discretion to select a Reverse Stock Split ratio from within a range between and including 1:2 and 1:30 on a date selected by the Board based on its then-current assessment of the factors below, and in order to maximize Company and stockholder interests. In determining whether to implement the Reverse Stock Split, and which ratio to implement, if any, the Board may consider, among other factors:

●

the historical trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock;

●

the then-prevailing trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock and the expected impact of the Reverse Stock Split on the trading market in the short- and long-term;

●

the continued listing requirements for our Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) or other applicable exchanges, if then applicable;

●

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding; and

●

which Reverse Stock Split ratio would result in the least administrative cost to us; and

●

the historical trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock.

Certain Risks and Potential Disadvantages Associated with a Reverse Stock Split

We cannot assure stockholders that the proposed Reverse Stock Split will sufficiently increase our stock price or, that our stock will trade at a price that is equal to at least $1.00 per share for a period of 10 consecutive days prior to November 20, 2024, which is the date that we must regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). If we do not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule prior to November 20, 2024, and we are not deemed eligible for an additional period of time to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, our listed securities may be subject to delisting. The effect of a Reverse Stock Split on our stock price cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of reverse stock splits for other companies in various industries is varied, particularly since some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively. It is possible that our stock price after a Reverse Stock Split will not increase in the same proportion as the reduction in the number of shares outstanding, causing a reduction in our overall market capitalization. Further, even if we implement a Reverse Stock Split, our stock price may decline due to various factors, including our future performance and general industry, market and economic conditions. This percentage decline, as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization, may be greater than would occur in the absence of a Reverse Stock Split. If we fail to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, Nasdaq could suspend trading in our Common Stock and commence delisting proceedings.

The proposed Reverse Stock Split may decrease the liquidity of our Common Stock and result in higher transaction costs. The liquidity of our Common Stock may be negatively impacted by the reduced number of shares outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split, which would be exacerbated if the stock price does not increase following the split. In addition, a Reverse Stock Split would increase the number of stockholders owning “odd lots” of fewer than 100 shares, trading in which generally results in higher transaction costs. Accordingly, a Reverse Stock Split may not achieve the desired results of increasing marketability and liquidity as described above.

The implementation of a Reverse Stock Split would result in an effective increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance, which could, under certain circumstances, have anti-takeover implications. The additional shares of Common Stock available for issuance could be used by us to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or to delay or prevent changes in control or in our management. Although the Reverse Stock Split has been prompted by business and financial considerations, and not by the threat of any hostile takeover attempt (nor is the Board currently aware of any such attempts directed at us), stockholders should be aware that approval of the Reverse Stock Split could facilitate future efforts by us to deter or prevent changes in control, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices.

Stockholders should also keep in mind that the implementation of a Reverse Stock Split does not have an effect on the actual or intrinsic value of our business or a stockholder’s proportional ownership interest (subject to the treatment of fractional shares). However, should the overall value of our common stock decline after a Reverse Stock Split, then the actual or intrinsic value of shares held by stockholders will also proportionately decrease as a result of the overall decline in value.

Effects of a Reverse Stock Split

As of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split:

●

a certain number shares of Common Stock outstanding (depending on the Reverse Stock Split ratio selected by the Board) will be combined, automatically and without any action on the part of the Company or its stockholders, into one new share of Common Stock;

●

no fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued; instead, stockholders who would otherwise receive a fractional share will receive a whole share in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock (as detailed below);

●

proportionate adjustments will be made to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all then-outstanding stock options and warrants which will result in a proportional decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise or vesting of such stock options and warrants and, in the case of stock options, a proportional increase in the exercise price of all such stock options;

●

the number of shares of Common Stock then reserved for issuance under our equity compensation plan will be reduced proportionately; and

●

the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock will remain at 100,000,000.

The following table summarizes, for illustrative purposes only, the anticipated effects of a Reverse Stock Split on our shares available for issuance based on information as of the Record Date (unless otherwise noted below) and without giving effect to the treatment of fractional shares.

Assuming the Reverse Stock Split is implemented by the Board:

Status	Number of Shares of Common Stock Authorized		Number of Shares of Common Stock Issued and Outstanding		Number of Shares of Common Stock Reserved for Future Issuance⁽¹⁾		Number of Shares of Common Stock Authorized but Unissued and Unreserved		Hypothetical Initial Market Value of Shares of Common Stock Authorized but Unissued and Unreserved*
Pre-Reverse Stock Split		100,000,000		31,636,751		11,473,927		56,889,322	$	9,102,292
Post-Reverse Stock Split 1:2		100,000,000		15,818,376		5,736,964		78,444,660	$	12,551,146
Post-Reverse Stock Split 1:30		100,000,000		1,054,559		382,465		98,562,976	$	15,770,077

*	Based on a hypothetical post-split stock price calculated by multiplying the closing stock price on August 29, 2024 of $0.16 by the split ratio.

(1)	Includes shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance (i) upon the exercise of currently exercisable warrants and options and (ii) under the Nature’s Miracle Holding Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan less any exercised or converted awards.

A Reverse Stock Split would affect all stockholders uniformly. As of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split which shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion (“Effective Date”), each stockholder would own a reduced number of shares of Common Stock. Percentage ownership interests, voting rights and other rights and preferences would not be affected, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split would result in fractional shares (as described below).

A Reverse Stock Split would not affect the registration of our Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and we would continue to be subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. Barring delisting by Nasdaq, our Common Stock would continue to be listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “NMHI,” but would have a new Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures number after the effective date.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In lieu of any fractional shares to which a stockholder of record would otherwise be entitled, we will issue a whole share in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock.

As of August 23, 2024, there were 436 common stockholders of record. We do not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a series of plans or proposals of a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.

Procedure for Effecting a Reverse Stock Split

Beneficial Holders of Common Stock

Stockholders who hold their shares through a bank, broker or other nominee will be treated in the same manner as registered stockholders who hold their shares in their names. Banks, brokers and other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for beneficial owners of such shares. However, banks, brokers or other nominees may implement different procedures than those to be followed by registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split, particularly with respect to the treatment of fractional shares. Stockholders whose shares of Common Stock are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee are encouraged to contact their bank, broker or other nominee with any questions regarding the procedures for implementing the Reverse Stock Split with respect to their shares.

Registered Holders of Common Stock

Registered stockholders hold shares electronically in book-entry form under the direct registration system (i.e., do not have stock certificates evidencing their share ownership but instead have a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts) and, as a result, do not need to take any action to receive post-split shares. If they are entitled to receive post-split shares, they will automatically receive, at their address of record, a transaction statement indicating the number of post-split shares held following the Effective Date.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of a Reverse Stock Split to stockholders. This summary is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date of this filing, and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change or differing interpretation could affect the tax consequences described below.

We have not sought and will not seek an opinion of counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will agree with such statements and conclusions.

This summary is limited to stockholders that are U.S. holders, as defined below, and that hold our Common Stock as a capital asset (generally, property held for investment).

This summary is for general information only and does not address all U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be applicable to a holder’s particular circumstances or to holders that may be subject to special tax rules, such as, for example, brokers and dealers in securities, currencies or commodities, banks and financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, expatriates, tax-exempt entities, governmental organizations, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, certain former citizens or long-term residents of the U.S., insurance companies, persons holding shares of our Common Stock as part of a hedging, integrated or conversion transaction or a straddle or persons deemed to sell shares of our Common Stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code, persons that hold more than 5% of our Common Stock, persons that hold our Common Stock in an individual retirement account, 401(k) plan or similar tax-favored account or partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes and investors in such entities.

This summary does not address any U.S. federal tax consequences other than U.S. federal income tax consequences (such as estate or gift tax consequences), the Medicare tax on net investment income, the alternative minimum tax or any U.S. state, local or foreign tax consequences. This summary also does not address any U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to any other transaction other than the Reverse Stock Split.

For purposes of this summary, a “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our Common Stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

●

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.;

●

a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

●

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

●

a trust if (1) it is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the U.S. and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

If an entity (or arrangement) classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds shares of our Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If a holder of our Common Stock is a partner of a partnership holding shares of our Common Stock, such holder should consult his or her own tax advisor.

This summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences is for general information only and is not tax advice. Stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisor with respect to the application of U.S. federal income tax laws to their particular situation as well as any tax considerations arising under other U.S. federal tax laws (such as the estate or gift tax laws) or under the laws of any state, local, foreign or other taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to be treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming the Reverse Stock Split qualifies as a recapitalization, except as described below with respect to cash received in lieu of a fractional share, a U.S. holder will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the Reverse Stock Split. In the aggregate, a U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Common Stock received pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split (excluding the portion of the tax basis that is allocable to any fractional share) will equal the U.S. holder’s tax basis in its Common Stock surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split in exchange therefor, and the holding period of the U.S. holder’s Common Stock received pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will include the holding period of the Common Stock surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split in exchange therefor.

In general, a U.S. holder who receives a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of the fractional share and the portion of the U.S. holder’s tax basis of the Common Stock surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split that is allocable to the fractional share. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period in its Common Stock surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split is more than one year as of the date of the Reverse Stock Split. The deductibility of net capital losses by individuals and corporations is subject to limitations. Depending on a stockholder’s individual facts and circumstances, it is possible that cash received in lieu of a fractional share could be treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code, so stockholders should consult their own tax advisors as to that possibility and the resulting tax consequences to them in that event.

U.S. holders that have acquired different blocks of our Common Stock at different times or at different prices are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the allocation of their aggregated adjusted basis among, and the holding period of, our Common Stock.

Information returns generally will be required to be filed with the IRS with respect to the payment of cash in lieu of a fractional share made pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split unless such U.S. holder is an exempt recipient and timely and properly establishes with the applicable withholding agent the exemption. In addition, payments of cash in lieu of a fractional share made pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split may, under certain circumstances, be subject to backup withholding, unless a U.S. holder timely provides to the applicable withholding agent proof of an applicable exemption or a correct taxpayer identification number, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional tax and may be refunded or credited against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the U.S. holder timely furnishes the required information to the IRS. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption.

Accounting Consequences

The par value per share of our Common Stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001 per share following a Reverse Stock Split. As a result, as of the Effective Date, the stated capital on our balance sheets attributable to Common Stock will be reduced proportionally based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio, and the additional paid-in capital will be credited with the amount by which the capital is reduced. The net income or loss per share of Common Stock will be increased as a result of the fewer shares of common stock outstanding. The Reverse Stock Split will be reflected retroactively in our consolidated financial statements.

APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR COMMON STOCK PURCHASE SERIES A WARRANT ISSUED ON JULY 29, 2024 TO AMEND THE (I) “INITIAL EXERCISE DATE” TO THE DATE THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY APPROVE THE (A) ISSUANCE OF THE SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN AN OFFERING THAT CLOSED ON JULY 29, 2024, (B) POTENTIAL ISSUANCE OF THE SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK UNDERLYING THE WARRANTS ISSUD IN THE OFFERING AND (C) ADJUSTMENT TERMS OF THE WARRANTS AND (II) FLOOR PRICE FROM $0.05 TO $0.10

July 2024 Underwritten Offering

On July 25, 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with EF Hutton LLC (the “Underwriting Agreement”), as the underwriter, relating to a firm commitment underwritten offering (the “Offering”) of a total of 5,000,000 units (the “Units”) at a offering price of $0.24 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and one warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.24 per share.

Action Authorized and Approved

The action that was taken on August 23, 2024 by our majority stockholders was the approval of the Warrant Amendment to amend the (i) “Initial Exercise Date” to the date that the stockholders of the Company approve the (A) issuance of the shares of our Common Stock in the Offering, (B) potential issuance of the shares of our Common Stock underlying the Warrants issued in the Offering and (C) adjustment terms of the warrants and (ii) floor price from $0.05 to $0.10.

Purpose of Warrant Amendment

The initial terms of the Warrant provided that the Warrants are immediately exercisable on the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.24 per share and expire five years from the closing date of the Offering. Since the exercise price of the Warrant is less than 50% of the “Minimum Price,” the Offering is categorized as a private placement instead of a public offering. As a result, since the total number of shares in the Offering, including the potential issuance of the shares underlying the warrants, is deemed a “20% Issuance,” the Company needed to obtain shareholder approval in connection with the Offering in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). “Minimum Price” means the lower of the closing price immediately preceding the signing of the Underwriting Agreement or the average closing price for the five trading days immediately preceding such date, plus the value of the Warrants issued in the Offering. A “20% Issuance” is a transaction, other than a public offering, involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the Company of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) which, alone or together with sales by officers, directors or substantial stockholders of the Company, equals 20% or more of the Common Stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance.

Since shareholder approval was not obtained prior to closing the Offering, and in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the Warrants must have contained a provision stating that the Warrants are exercisable only upon the stockholders of the Company approving the (i) issuance of the shares of our Common Stock issued in the Offering, (ii) potential issuance of the shares of our Common Stock underlying the Warrants and (iii) adjustment terms of the Warrants.

The Warrant amendment (the “Amendment”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex B amends the (i) “Initial Exercise Date” of the Warrant to the date that the stockholders of the Company approve the (A) issuance of the shares of our Common Stock in the Offering, (B) potential issuance of the shares of our Common Stock underlying the Warrants issued in the Offering and (C) adjustment terms of the Warrants and (ii) floor price from $0.05 to $0.10. The Amendment ensures that no Warrant shares will be issued until the necessary shareholder approval is obtained. This action will allow the Company to maintain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) as the issuance of the 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock at the closing of the Offering was not deemed a 20% Issuance and as a result, no shareholder approval was required to close the Offering.

In addition, any floor price set at a price that is less than 20% of the “Minimum Price” will be deemed as a violation of public policy per Nasdaq. Since the floor price set in the initial terms of the Warrant was less than 20% of the “Minimum Price” (i.e., $0.05), the floor price must be amended in order to avoid any Nasdaq public policy violation.

Listing Rule 5101 provides that Nasdaq has the authority to require shareholder approval or any other requirement with regard to any transaction or the terms of the securities issued in the transaction that is deemed to violate public policy or result in excessive dilution to the shareholders. Since the adjustment terms of the Warrants may result in further dilution to the shareholders, the shareholders were asked to approve the adjustment terms of the Warrants.

Description of the Warrants

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Warrants offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the form of Warrant and the Warrant Amendment.

A copy of the form of Warrant is attached hereto as Annex C.

Exercisability. The Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance (amended to the date that the stockholders of the Company approve the (i) issuance of the shares of our Common Stock issued in the Offering, (ii) potential issuance of the shares of our Common Stock underlying the Warrants and (iii) adjustment terms of the Warrants per the Warrant Amendment) up to the date that is five years after their original issuance. The Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of Common Stock subscribed for upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). If a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) is not effective or available, the holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the Warrants through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in the Warrants.

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.

Exercise Limitation. A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, upon election by a holder prior to the issuance of any warrants, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us with respect to any increase in such percentage.

Exercise Price. The exercise price per whole share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants is $0.24 per share. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise will adjust in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications, dilutive issuances or similar events. In addition, with respect to the Warrant, subject to certain exemptions outlined in the Warrants, if we sell, enter into an agreement to sell, or grant any option to purchase, or sell, enter into an agreement to sell, or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Warrant), at an effective price per share less than the exercise price of the Warrant then in effect, the exercise price of the Warrant shall be reduced to equal the effective price per share in such dilutive issuance, provided, however, in no event shall the exercise price of the Warrant be less than $0.05 (adjusted to $0.10 per the Warrant Amendment).

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

Exchange Listing. The Warrants are not listed on any stock exchange. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Warrants will be limited.

Rights as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of our shares of Common Stock, the holder of a Warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our shares of Common Stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the Warrant.

Fundamental Transaction. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrants, and generally including, with certain exceptions, any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our shares of Common Stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise thereof the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. Additionally, as more fully described in the Warrant, in the event of certain fundamental transactions, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive consideration in an amount equal to the Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of the Warrants on the date of consummation of such fundamental transaction.

Governing Law. The Warrants are governed by New York law.

Underwriting Agreement and Other Information

The Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex D, contains customary representations and warranties, agreements and obligations, conditions to closing and termination provisions. The Underwriting Agreement provides for indemnification by EF Hutton LLC of the Company, its directors and certain of its executive officers and by the Company of EF Hutton LLC, for certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, and affords certain rights of contribution with respect thereto. The summary of certain terms and provisions of the Underwriting Agreement offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement.

Over-Allotment Option

The Company granted EF Hutton LLC a 45-day over-allotment option to purchase up to 750,000 shares of Common Stock and/or 750,000 Warrants.

Proceeds

The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $0.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the payment of other estimated offering expenses associated with the Offering that are payable by the Company. The Company also paid the Underwriter an underwriting discount equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and a non-accountable expense fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering.

The Company has used and is intending to use the net proceeds of the Offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital and investments.

Registration Statement

A registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-280066), relating to the Offering was declared effective by the SEC on July 25, 2024. The Offering was made only by means of a prospectus forming a part of the effective registration statement.

APPROVED THE (I) JULY 3, 2024 OFFERING, INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL ISSUANCE OF THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UNDERLYING THE $410,000 UNSECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES ISSUED IN THE OFFERING, AND (II) JULY 19, 2024 OFFERING, INCLUDING THE (A) ISSUANCE OF THE 180,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK IN THE OFFERING, (B) ISSUANCE OF THE WARRANT TO PURCHASE A TOTAL OF 788,438 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AT AN EXERCISE PRICE OF $0.24 PER SHARE AND (C) POTENTIAL ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UNDERLYING THE WARRANT ISSUED IN THE OFFERING

July 2024 Private Placements

On July 3, 2024, we entered into four convertible note investment agreements (the “Agreements”) with certain investors named thereto (the “Investors”), in a private placement (the “First July 2024 Note Offering”) of the Company’s unsecured convertible notes (“First July 2024 Notes”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $410,000. Each of the Agreements contained customary terms, representations and warranties by the parties for offerings of similar sizes. The First July 2024 Notes have an interest of 12% per annum, and a maturity date that is six months from the date of issuance. The Investors may also choose to convert the accumulated principal amount and interest outstanding on the maturity date to shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.442, subject to adjustments. A copy of the form of the Agreement is attached hereto as Annex E.

On July 19, 2024, we sold in a private placement (the “Second July 2024 Note Offering”) a $180,000 convertible note (the “Second July 2024 Note”) with an original issue discount of $27,500 and a warrant (the “July 2024 Note Warrant”) to purchase up to 217,500 shares of Common Stock (the “July 2024 Note Warrant Shares”) of the Company at an exercise price of $0.87 per share (subsequently adjusted to 788,438 shares at an exercise price of $0.24 per share as a result of the closing the Offering). As consideration for entering into the securities purchase agreement relating to the Second July 2024 Offering (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), we issued a total of 180,000 shares (the “Commitment Shares”) to the purchaser on July 19, 2024. The July 2024 Note Warrant is exercisable on July 17, 2024 until five years from July 17, 2024. The total number of July 2024 Note Warrant Shares is subject to adjustments for stock splits, recapitalizations and reorganizations. On July 30, 2024, the Second July 2024 Note was fully paid. A copy of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Second July 2024 Note and the July 2024 Note Warrant is attached hereto as Annexes F, G and H.

The First July 2024 Note Offering and the Second July 2024 Note Offering were closed in the same month as the Offering. The maximum number of shares issuable as a result of the conversion of the First July 2024 Notes is 927,602 shares while the maximum number of shares per the exercise of the July 2024 Note Warrant is 788,428 as of August 30, 2024.

Action Authorized and Approved

The action that was taken on August 26, 2024 by our majority stockholders was the approval of the (i) First July 2024 Note Offering, including the potential issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the $410,000 unsecured convertible notes issued in the offering, and (ii) Second July 2024 Note Offering, including the (A) issuance of the Commitment Shares, (B) issuance of the July 2024 Note Warrant and (C) potential issuance of the July 2024 Note Warrant Shares.

Purpose of Approval

In anticipation of any Nasdaq determination that our First July 2024 Note Offering and Second July 2024 Note Offering need to be aggregated with the Offering as a single integrated transaction, and in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) in the event of that determination, the stockholders of the Company need to approve the (i) First July 2024 Note Offering, including the potential issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the $410,000 unsecured convertible notes issued in the offering, and (ii) Second July 2024 Note Offering, including the (A) issuance of the Commitment Shares, (B) issuance of the July 2024 Note Warrant and (C) potential issuance of the July 2024 Note Warrant Shares.

Nasdaq Aggregation and Integration

If Nasdaq deems a series of transactions as part of one offering, the total number of shares issued and the total number of shares issuable pursuant to any derivative securities issued in the offerings will be aggregated in determining if a “20% Issuance” at a price that is less than the “Minimum Price” has occurred, of which will require shareholder approval for the integrated offering if one of the offerings in the series of transactions resulted in the issuance of shares or potential issuance of shares at less than the applicable “Minimum Price” (i.e., if one of the offerings involved the issuance of shares at less than that offering’s applicable “Minimum Price,” it will be deemed that the integrated offering involved the issuance of shares at less than the “Minimum Price” requiring shareholder approval for all of the separate offerings).

As a result of the timing of the closings of the First July 2024 Note Offering, Second July 2024 Note Offering and the Offering, Nasdaq might consider these offerings to be part of an integrated transaction. In the event Nasdaq determines that the offerings are part of an integrated transaction, Nasdaq will deem the issuance of the Commitment Shares and the potential issuance of up to 927,602 shares of Common Stock underlying the $410,000 Notes and 788,428 shares of Common Stock underlying the July 2024 Note Warrant to be aggregated with the 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued in the Offering, totaling 6,896,030 shares (the “Aggregated Shares”), in determining if there is a “20% Issuance” at less than the “Minimum Price.” Since we had 26,636,764 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the closing of the Offering, the Aggregated Shares represent approximately 26% of the outstanding shares prior to the Offering, deeming the integrated transaction a “20% Issuance.” In addition, because the 5,000,000 shares issued in the Offering were sold at less than the “Minimum Price,” all of the securities issued in the integrated transaction are deemed to be sold or have conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, at less than the “Minimum Price.”

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with regard to the approval of the Offering.

APPROVED THE AUGUST 14, 2024 NOTE OFFERING AND THE POTENTIAL ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UNDERLYING THE NOTE ISSUED IN THE AUGUST 14, 2024 OFFERING THAT IS EQUAL TO GREATER THAN 19.99% OF THE ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK PRIOR TO THE CLOSING OF THE OFFERING AND THE POTENTIAL ISSUANCE OF ANY ADDITIONAL NOTES AND SHARES UNDERYLING ANY ADDITIONAL NOTES

August 2024 Private Placement

On August 13, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “August 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with a certain investor pursuant to which the purchaser agreed to purchase from us a convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $181,700 (the “August 2024 Note”) with an original issue discount of $23,700, and agreed to purchase up to $1,000,000 worth of additional notes (the “August 2024 Note Offering”). The first tranche of the August 2024 Note Offering closed on August 14, 2024. The August 2024 Note bears a one-time interest charge of 12%. Accrued, unpaid interest and outstanding principal, subject to adjustment, is required to be paid in ten payments, with the first payment of $20,350.40 due on September 15, 2024, and the remaining nine payments of $20,350.40 due on the fifteenth day of each month thereafter (a total payback to the purchaser of $203,504.00).

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any event of default, the August 2024 Note shall become immediately due and payable and we will be obligated to pay to the purchaser, in full satisfaction of its obligations, an amount equal to 150% times the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of the August 2024 Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of the August 2024 Note to the date of payment plus (y) default interest, if any, at the rate of 22% per annum on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and/or (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the purchaser pursuant to the conversion rights referenced below.

Only upon the occurrence of an event of default under the August 2024 Note, the purchaser may convert the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the August 2024 Note into restricted shares of our common stock at a discount of 25% of the market price. The purchaser agreed to limit the amount of stock received to less than 4.99% of the total outstanding common stock. We agreed to reserve a number of shares of common stock equal to four times the number of shares of common stock which may be issuable upon conversion of the August 2024 Note at all times. In addition, unless our stockholders have approved the August 2024 Note Offering, including the potential issuance of shares of Common Stock underlying the August 2024 Note, we will not issue a number of shares of Common Stock under the August 2024 Note which when aggregated with all other securities that are required to be aggregated for purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), would exceed 19.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date immediately prior to the effective date of the August 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement. A copy of the August 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement and the August 2024 Note are attached hereto as Annexes I and G.

Action Authorized and Approved

The action that was taken on August 26, 2024 by our majority stockholders was the approval of the August 2024 Note Offering, including the potential issuance of additional notes of up to $1,000,000 pursuant to the August 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement, shares of Common Stock underlying the August 2024 Note and shares of Common Stock underlying any additional notes that will result in the issuance of greater than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock prior to the closing of the August 2024 Note Offering.

Purpose of Approval

In the event that Nasdaq decides that the August 2024 Offering needs to be aggregated with the First July 2024 Note Offering, the Second July 2024 Note Offering and the Offering and if we decide to issue additional notes pursuant to the August 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement, or if the holder of the August 2024 Note has the ability to convert the August 2024 Note and the holder decides to convert more than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), our stockholders have approved the August 2024 Note Offering, including the potential issuance of additional notes pursuant to the August 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement, the potential issuance of any shares underlying any additional notes and the potential issuance of shares of Common Stock underlying the August 2024 Note that is equal to greater than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock prior to the closing of the August 2024 Note Offering.

Nasdaq

Pursuant to the August 2024 Note, and in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), any potential issuance of shares of Common Stock as a result of the conversion of the August 2024 Note that is equal to greater than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock prior to the closing of the August 2024 Note Offering and at less than the “Minimum Price” will require shareholder approval. In addition, if Nasdaq makes the determination that the August 2024 Offering needs to be aggregated with the First July 2024 Note Offering, the Second July 2024 Note Offering and the Offering into one integrated transaction, then our stockholders will need to approve the August 2024 Note Offering, including any issuance of additional notes pursuant to the August 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement.

The terms of the August 2024 Note provide that in the event of default under the August 2024 Note, the purchaser may convert the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the August 2024 Note into restricted shares of our common stock at a discount of 25% of the market price. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) states that future priced securities must contain a conversion cap or include a mechanism to limit the conversion price to a floor price equal to at least the “Minimum Price” in order to avoid the requirement to obtain shareholder approval prior to the issuance of the shares underlying the future priced security. Since the August 2024 Note contains a conversion cap of 19.99%, in the event of default of the August 2024 Note, the purchaser will be able to convert part or all of the outstanding balance of the August 2024 Note up to the conversion cap unless our stockholders approve the potential issuance of shares of Common Stock equal to greater than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock prior to the closing of the August 2024 Note Offering. In addition, if Nasdaq integrates the offerings, then the purchaser will not be able to convert the August 2024 Note and we will not be able to issue any additional notes pursuant to the 2024 August Securities Purchase Agreement until stockholder approval is obtained.

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with regard to the approval of the Offering.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The table below sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of the common stock by (i) our directors and named executive officers; (ii) all the named executives and directors as a group and (iii) any other person or group that to our knowledge beneficially owns more than five percent of our outstanding shares of common stock.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These rules generally provide that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting thereof, or to dispose or direct the disposition thereof or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days. Shares of common stock subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of August 30, 2024, are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the options. Shares issuable pursuant to stock options or warrants are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such options or warrants but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below will have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that they will beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws. The percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 31,636,751 shares of common stock outstanding on August 30, 2024.

Guasti Road, Suite 175, Ontario, CA 91761.

If multiple shareholders sharing an address have received one copy of this Information Statement or any other corporate mailing and would prefer the Company to mail each shareholder a separate copy of future mailings, you may mail notification to, or call the Company at, its principal executive offices. Additionally, if current shareholders with a shared address received multiple copies of this Information Statement or other corporate mailings and would prefer the Company to mail one copy of future mailings to shareholders at the shared address, notification of such request may also be made by mail or telephone to the Company’s principal executive offices.

This Information Statement is provided to the shareholders of the Company only for information purposes in connection with the Majority Shareholders’ approval of the Approval of Certificate of Incorporation Amendment for Split, the Approval of Warrant Amendment, the Approval of July 2024 Underwritten Offering, the Approval of July 2024 Private Placements and the Approval of August 2024 Private Placement, pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 14c-2 of the Exchange Act.

Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.24, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

C-4

c) Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

(A) =

as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

(B) =

the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X) =

the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

d) Mechanics of Exercise.

i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

C-5

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.

vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to The Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

C-6

e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or 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 Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common 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 this Warrant, by the 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, upon election by a Holder prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the sixty-first (61^st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

(b) Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Initial Exercise Date, the Company grants, issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell), or in accordance with this Section 3 is deemed to have granted, issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities granted, issued or sold or deemed to have been granted, issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such granting, issuance or sale or deemed granting issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to herein as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price provided that the New Issuance Price shall not be less than $0.05 (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, recapitalizations and similar transactions following the date of the Underwriting Agreement). For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price and the New Issuance Price under this Section 3(b)), the following shall be applicable.

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants, issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell) any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 3(b)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting, issuance or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting, issuance or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or otherwise pursuant to the terms of or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

C-8

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to issue or sell) any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale (or the time of execution of such agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 3(b)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale (or pursuant to the agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale (or the agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, and if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(b), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.

(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time (other than proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in Section 3(a)), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (including, without limitation, any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Initial Exercise Date) are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.

C-9

(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined by the Holder, the “Primary Security”, and such Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right, the “Secondary Securities” and together with the Primary Security, each a “Unit”), together comprising one integrated transaction, the aggregate consideration per share of Common Stock with respect to such Primary Security shall be deemed to be the lower of (x) the purchase price of such Unit, (y) if such Primary Security is an Option and/or Convertible Security, the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Primary Security in accordance with Sections 3(b)(i) or 3(b)(ii) above and (z) the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the five (5) Trading Day period (the “Adjustment Period”) immediately following the public announcement of such Dilutive Issuance (for the avoidance of doubt, if such public announcement is released prior to the opening of the principal Trading Market of the Common Stock on a Trading Day, such Trading Day shall be the first Trading Day in such five Trading Day period and if this Warrant is exercised, on any given Exercise Date during any such Adjustment Period, solely with respect to such portion of this Warrant converted on such applicable Exercise Date, such applicable Adjustment Period shall be deemed to have ended on, and included, the Trading Day immediately prior to such Exercise Date). If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities (as the case may be). The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

C-10

d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of 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 to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.

C-11

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within thirty (30) days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the historical volatility function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request pursuant to this Section 3(d), (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within five (5) Business Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction).

The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3(d) regardless of (i) whether the Company has sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock for the issuance of Warrant Shares and/or (ii) whether a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Initial Exercise Date.

C-12

f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

g) Notice to Holder.

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

h) Voluntary Adjustment by Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors.

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

a) Transferability. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

C-13

b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

d) Authorized Shares.

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

C-14

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

e) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

C-15

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned, Nature’s Miracle Holding Inc, a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (collectively with its subsidiaries and affiliates, including, without limitation, all entities disclosed or described in the Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined) as being subsidiaries, the “Company”), hereby confirms its agreement (this “Agreement”) with EF Hutton LLC (hereinafter referred to as “you” (including its correlatives) acting as the sole underwriter (the “Underwriter”), as follows:

1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES.

1.1. Firm Securities.

1.1.1. Nature and Purchase of Firm Securities.

(i) On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Underwriter an aggregate of 5,000,000 units, (each, a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”), with each Unit comprised of (i) one share of Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Firm Shares”) and (ii) one warrant in the form of Exhibit A to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.24 per share (100% of the offering price per Unit) (the “Firm Warrants”).

(ii) The purchase price for one Unit shall be $0.24. The Units are to be offered initially to the public at the offering price set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus (as defined in Section 2.1.1 hereof). The purchase price for each Unit will be allocated at $0.23 per Firm Share and $0.01 per Firm Warrant.

(iii) To the extent that the purchase of Firm Shares would cause the beneficial ownership of a purchaser in the Offering, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, to exceed 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company agrees to issue the Underwriter, for delivery to such purchasers, at the election of the purchasers, a number of shares of pre-funded Units (the “Firm Pre-Funded Units”, together with the Units, the “Closing Units”). Each Firm Pre-Funded Unit consists of: (i) one pre-funded warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock in the form of Exhibit B (the “Firm Pre-Funded Warrant” and collectively with the Firm Shares and Firm Warrants, the “Firm Securities”) and (ii) one Firm Warrant.

(iv) The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Unit will be equal to the price per Unit being sold in the Offering, minus $0.0001, and the exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant included in the Pre-Funded Unit will be $0.0001 per share. The purchase price for each Pre-Funded Unit will be allocated as $0.2299 per Pre-Funded Warrant and $0.01 per Firm Warrant.

1.1.2. Payment and Delivery of Securities.

(i) Delivery and payment for the Units and/or Pre-Funded Units shall be made at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the first (1^st) Business Day following the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of the Registration Statement (as defined in Section 2.1.1 below) (or the second (2^nd) Business Day following the Effective Date if the Registration Statement is declared effective after 4:01 p.m., Eastern time) or at such earlier or later time as shall be agreed upon by the Underwriter and the Company, at the offices of Lucosky Brookman LLP, 10 Wood Avenue South, 5^th Floor, Woodbridge, NJ 08830, Attn. Joseph Lucosky (“Underwriter’s Counsel”), or at such other place (or remotely by facsimile or other electronic transmission) as shall be agreed upon by the Underwriter and the Company. The hour and date of delivery and payment for Units and/or Pre-Funded Units (as applicable) is called the “Closing Date.”

(ii) Payment for the Units and/or Pre-Funded Units shall be made on the Closing Date by wire transfer in Federal (same day) funds, payable to the order of the Company upon delivery of the certificates (in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriter) representing the Units and/or Pre-Funded Units (or through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)) for the account of the Underwriter. The Units and/or Pre-Funded Units shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denominations as the Underwriter may request in writing at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall not be obligated to sell or deliver the Units and/or Pre-Funded Units except upon tender of payment by the Underwriter for all of the Units and/or Pre-Funded Units. The term “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday, or other day on which commercial banks in The City of New York are authorized or required by law to remain closed.

(iii) The Closing Units have no stand-alone rights or obligations and will not be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities. The Firm Shares, the Firm Pre-Funded Warrants, and the Firm Warrants, as the case may be, comprising the Closing Units are immediately separable and will be issued separately at the Closing.

1.2. Over-allotment Option.

1.2.1. Option Securities. For the purposes of covering any over-allotments in connection with the distribution and sale of the Units, the Company hereby grants to the Underwriter an option (the “Over-allotment Option”) to purchase up to 750,000 shares of Common Stock (15% of the Firm Shares sold as part of the Units in this Offering) at a purchase price per share of $0.23 (100% of the public offering price allocated to each Firm Share)(the “Option Shares” and together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”) and/or 750,000 Firm Warrants to subscribe for an aggregate of 750,000 shares of Common Stock (15% of the Firm Warrants sold as part of the Units and/or Pre-Funded Units in this offering) at an exercise price of $0.24 (100% of the offering price per Unit) (the “Option Warrants”) and/or nil Pre-Funded Warrants to subscribe for up to nil shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.2299 (100% of the public offering price allocated to each Firm Share less $0.0001) and the remaining non pre-funded exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will be $0.0001 per share (“Option Pre-Funded Warrant”, and together with the Firm Warrants and Option Warrants, the “Warrants”), which may be purchased in any combination of Option Shares and/or the Option Warrants. The Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant Shares”. The Option Shares, Option Pre-Funded Warrants and the Option Warrants are collectively referred to as the “Option Securities”. The Firm Securities and the Option Securities are collectively referred to as the “Public Securities.” The offering and sale of the Public Securities is herein referred to as the “Offering.”

1.2.2. Exercise of Option. The Over-allotment Option granted pursuant to Section 1.2.1 hereof may be exercised by the Underwriter as to all (at any time) or any part (from time to time) of the Option Securities within forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date. The Underwriter shall not be under any obligation to purchase any Option Securities prior to the exercise of the Over-allotment Option. The Over-allotment Option granted hereby may be exercised by the giving of oral notice to the Company from the Underwriter, which must be confirmed in writing by overnight mail or facsimile or other electronic transmission setting forth the number of Option Shares and accompanying Option Warrants to be purchased and the date and time for delivery of and, where relevant, the payment for the Option Shares and/or the pre-funded exercise price for the Pre-Funded Option Warrants (each, an “Option Closing Date”), which shall not be later than one (1) Business Day after the date of the notice or such other time as shall be agreed upon by the Company and the Underwriter, at the offices of Underwriter’s Counsel or at such other place (including remotely by facsimile or other electronic transmission) as shall be agreed upon by the Company and the Underwriter. If such delivery and, where relevant, payment for the Option Shares and/or the pre-funded exercise price for the pre-funded Option Warrants does not occur on the Closing Date, each Option Closing Date will be as set forth in the notice. Upon exercise of the Over-allotment Option with respect to all or any portion of the Option Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Underwriter will become obligated to purchase, the number of Option Securities specified in such notice.

D-4

1.2.3. Payment and Delivery. Payment for the Option Securities and payment of the pre-funded exercise price for the Pre-Funded Warrants to be delivered in respect of the Over-allotment Option shall be made on the Option Closing Date by wire transfer in Federal (same day) funds, payable to the order of the Company upon delivery to you of certificates (in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriter) representing the Option Securities (or through the facilities of DTC) for the account of the Underwriter. The Option Securities shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denominations as the Underwriter may request in writing at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Option Closing Date. The Company shall not be obligated to sell or deliver the Option Securities and/or relevant Pre-Funded Warrants except upon tender of payment by the Underwriter for applicable Option Securities and/or pre-funded exercise price in respect of the relevant Pre-Funded Warrants.

The Company has made all filings with the Commission required under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act Regulations”).

2.7. Independent Accountant. To the knowledge of the Company, WWC, P.C. (the “Auditor”) whose reports are filed with the Commission as part of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus, is an independent registered public accounting firm as required by the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Financial Statements, etc. The financial statements, including the notes thereto and supporting schedules included in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus, fairly present in all material respects the financial position and the results of operations of the Company at the dates and for the periods to which they apply; and such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (”GAAP”), consistently applied throughout the periods involved (provided that unaudited interim financial statements are subject to year-end audit adjustments that are not expected to be material in the aggregate and do not contain all footnotes required by GAAP); and the supporting schedules included in the Registration Statement present fairly in all material respects the information required to be stated therein. Except as included therein, no historical or pro forma financial statements are required to be included in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, or the Prospectus under the Securities Act or the Securities Act Regulations. The pro forma and pro forma as adjusted financial information and the related notes, if any, included in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus have been properly compiled and prepared in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations and present fairly in all material respects the information shown therein, and the assumptions used in the preparation thereof are reasonable and the adjustments used therein are appropriate to give effect to the transactions and circumstances referred to therein. All disclosures contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, or the Prospectus regarding “non-GAAP financial measures” (as such term is defined by the rules and regulations of the Commission), if any, comply in all material respects with Regulation G of the Exchange Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act, to the extent applicable. Each of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus discloses all material off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), and other relationships of the Company with unconsolidated entities or other persons that may have a material current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenues or expenses. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus, (a) since the date of the last balance sheet included in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including each entity disclosed or described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus as being a subsidiary of the Company (each, a “Subsidiary” and, collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), has incurred any material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, or entered into any material transactions other than in the ordinary course of business, (b) the Company has not declared or paid any dividends or made any distribution of any kind with respect to its capital stock, (c) there has not been any change in the capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or, other than in the ordinary course of business, any grants under any stock compensation plan, and (d) there has not been any material adverse change in the Company’s long-term or short-term debt.

Except as disclosed in writing to the Underwriter, (i) no material issues have been raised (and are currently pending) by any taxing authority in connection with any of the returns or taxes asserted as due from the Company or its Subsidiaries, and (ii) no waivers of statutes of limitation with respect to the returns or collection of taxes have been given by or requested from the Company or its Subsidiaries.

No “reportable event” (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates. No “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates, if such “employee benefit plan” were terminated, would have any “amount of unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined under ERISA). Neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any material liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee benefit plan” or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and, to the knowledge of the Company, nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

2.37. [Reserved].

2.38. Environmental Laws. The Company is in compliance with all foreign, federal, state, and local rules, laws, and regulations relating to the use, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or waste and protection of health and safety or the environment which are applicable to their businesses (“Environmental Laws”), except where the failure to comply would not, singularly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change. There has been no storage, generation, transportation, handling, treatment, disposal, discharge, emission, or other release of any kind of toxic or other wastes or other hazardous substances by, due to, or caused by the Company (or, to the Company’s knowledge, any other entity for whose acts or omissions the Company is or may otherwise be liable) upon any of the property now or previously owned or leased by the Company, or upon any other property, in violation of any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, or permit or which would, under any law, statute, ordinance, rule (including rule of common law), regulation, order, judgment, decree, or permit, give rise to any liability, except for any violation or liability which would not have, singularly or in the aggregate with all such violations and liabilities, a Material Adverse Change; and there has been no disposal, discharge, emission, or other release of any kind onto such property or into the environment surrounding such property of any toxic or other wastes or other hazardous substances with respect to which the Company has knowledge, except for any such disposal, discharge, emission, or other release of any kind which would not have, singularly or in the aggregate with all such discharges and other releases, a Material Adverse Change. In the ordinary course of business, the Company conducts periodic reviews of the effect of Environmental Laws on its business and assets, in the course of which they identify and evaluate associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties, or compliance with Environmental Laws or governmental permits issued thereunder, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such reviews, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not have, singularly or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Change.

2.40.   Contracts Affecting Capital. There are no transactions, arrangements, or other relationships between and/or among the Company, any of its affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act Regulations) and any unconsolidated entity, including, but not limited to, any structured finance, special purpose or limited purpose entity that could reasonably be expected to materially affect the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ liquidity or the availability of or requirements for their capital resources required to be described or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus which have not been described or incorporated by reference as required.

2.41.   Loans to Directors or Officers.

5. INDEMNIFICATION.

5.1.  Indemnification of the Underwriter.

5.1.1.   General. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, its affiliates and each of its and their respective directors, officers, members, employees, representatives, partners, shareholders, affiliates, counsel, and agents and each person, if any, who controls any such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively the “Underwriter Indemnified Parties,” and each an “Underwriter Indemnified Party”), against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, and expense whatsoever (including but not limited to any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing, or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, whether arising out of any action between any of the Underwriter Indemnified Parties and the Company or between any of the Underwriter Indemnified Parties and any third party, or otherwise) to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other statute or at common law or otherwise or under the laws of foreign countries, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (i) the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (as from time to time each may be amended and supplemented); (ii) any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the Offering, including any “road show” or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically); or (iii) any application or other document or written communication (in this Section 5, collectively called “application”) executed by the Company or based upon written information furnished by the Company in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Public Securities under the securities laws thereof or filed with the Commission, any state securities commission or agency, the Exchange, or any other national securities exchange; or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, unless such statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, the Underwriter’s Information. With respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in the Pricing Disclosure Package, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.1.1 shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter Indemnified Party to the extent that any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense of such Underwriter Indemnified Party (a) is based on the Underwriter’s Information, (b) results from the fact that a copy of the Prospectus was not given or sent to the person asserting any such loss, liability, claim, or damage at or prior to the written confirmation of sale of the Public Securities to such person as required by the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations, and if the untrue statement or omission has been corrected in the Prospectus, unless such failure to deliver the Prospectus was a result of non-compliance by the Company with its obligations under Section 3.3 hereof, or (c) is found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Underwriter Indemnified Party.

5.1.2.   Procedure. If any action is brought against an Underwriter Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company pursuant to Section 5.1.1, such Underwriter Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the institution of such action and the Company shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense of such action, including the employment and fees of counsel (subject to the reasonable approval of such Underwriter Indemnified Party) and payment of actual expenses. Such Underwriter Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of such counsel at the expense of the Company shall have been authorized in writing by the Company in connection with the defense of such action, or (ii) the Company shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action, or (iii) the action includes both the Company and the indemnified party as defendants and such indemnified party or parties shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Company which makes it impossible or inadvisable for the Company and such indemnified party to be represented in the action by the same counsel (in which case the Company shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party), in any of which events the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one additional firm of attorneys selected by the Underwriter Indemnified Parties who are party to such action (in addition to local counsel) shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Underwriter Indemnified Party shall assume the defense of such action as provided above, the Company shall have the right to approve the terms of any settlement of such action, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

D-27

5.2.   Indemnification of the Company. The Underwriter shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and persons who control the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, and expense described in the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Underwriter, as incurred, but only with respect to such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) which arise out of or are based upon untrue statements or omissions made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any application, in reliance upon, and in strict conformity with, the Underwriter’s Information. In case any action shall be brought against the Company or any other person so indemnified based on any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any application, and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against any Underwriter, such Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given to the Company, and the Company and each other person so indemnified shall have the rights and duties given to the Underwriter by the provisions of Section 5.1.2. The Company agrees promptly to notify the Underwriter of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the Company or any of its officers, directors or any person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, in connection with the issuance and sale of the Public Securities or in connection with the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

5.3.   Contribution.

5.3.1.   Contribution Rights. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 5.1 or 5.2 in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other hand, from the Offering, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, with respect to such Offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the Offering purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discount and commissions received by the Underwriter in connection with the Offering, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Underwriter, on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement, omission, act or failure to act; provided that the parties hereto agree that the written information furnished to the Company through the Underwriter for use in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, consists solely of the Underwriter’s Information. The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 5.3.1 were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation, or proceeding referred to above in this Section 5.3.1 shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 5.3.1, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation, or proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.3.1 no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total discount and commission received by such Underwriter in connection with the Offering less the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise paid or becomes liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, act, or alleged act or failure to act or alleged failure to act. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5.3.2.   Contribution Procedure. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt by any party to this Agreement (or its representative) of notice of the commencement of any action, suit, or proceeding, such party will, if a claim for contribution in respect thereof is to be made against another party (“contributing party”), notify the contributing party of the commencement thereof, but the failure to so notify the contributing party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any other party other than for contribution hereunder. In case any such action, suit or proceeding is brought against any party, and such party notifies a contributing party or its representative of the commencement thereof within the aforesaid fifteen (15) days, the contributing party will be entitled to participate therein with the notifying party and any other contributing party similarly notified. Any such contributing party shall not be liable to any party seeking contribution on account of any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding affected by such party seeking contribution without the written consent of such contributing party. The contribution provisions contained in this Section 5.3.2 are intended to supersede, to the extent permitted by law, any right to contribution under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or otherwise available.

D-28

6. DEFAULT BY AN UNDERWRITER.

6.1.   Default Not Exceeding 10% of Firm Securities or Option Securities. If any Underwriter shall default in its obligations to purchase the Firm Securities or the Option Securities, if the Over-allotment Option is exercised hereunder, and if the number of the Firm Securities or Option Securities with respect to which such default relates does not exceed in the aggregate ten percent (10%) of the number of Firm Securities and or Option Securities that the Underwriter have agreed to purchase hereunder, then such Firm Securities or Option Securities to which the default relates shall be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriter in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder.

6.2.   Default Exceeding 10% of Firm Securities or Option Securities. In the event that the default addressed in Section 6.1 relates to more than ten percent (10%) of the number of Firm Securities or Option Securities, the Underwriter may in its discretion arrange for itself or for another party or parties to purchase such Firm Securities or Option Securities to which such default relates on the terms contained herein. If, within one (1) Business Day after such default relating to more than ten percent (10%) of the number of Firm Securities or Option Securities, the Underwriter does not arrange for the purchase of such Firm Securities or Option Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of one (1) Business Day within which to procure another party or parties satisfactory to the Underwriter to purchase said Firm Securities or Option Securities on such terms. In the event that neither the Underwriter nor the Company arrange for the purchase of the Firm Securities or Option Securities to which a default relates as provided in this Section 6, this Agreement will automatically be terminated by the Underwriter or the Company without liability on the part of the Company (except as provided in Sections 3.10 and 5 hereof) or Underwriter (except as provided in Section 5 hereof); provided, however, that if such default occurs with respect to the Option Securities, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Securities; and provided, further, that nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

6.3.   Postponement of Closing Date. In the event that the Firm Securities or Option Securities to which the default relates are to be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriter, or are to be purchased by another party or parties as aforesaid, you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or Option Closing Date for a reasonable period, but not in any event exceeding five (5) Business Days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, or the Prospectus or in any other documents and arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendment to the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, or the Prospectus that in the opinion of Underwriter Counsel may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any party substituted under this Section 6 with like effect as if it had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Firm Securities or Option Securities.

7. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS.

7.1.   Prohibition on Press Releases and Public Announcements. The Company shall not issue press releases or engage in any other publicity, without the Underwriter’s prior written consent, for a period ending at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the first (1^st) Business Day following the fortieth (40^th) day after the Closing Date, other than normal and customary releases issued in the ordinary course of the Company’s business.

8.2.   Termination. The Underwriter shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to any Closing Date, (i) if any domestic or international event or act or occurrence has materially disrupted, or in the Underwriter’s opinion will in the immediate future materially disrupt, general securities markets in the United States; or (ii) if trading on the New York Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required by FINRA or by order of the Commission or any other government authority having jurisdiction; or (iii) if the United States shall have become involved in a new war or an increase in major hostilities; or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by a New York State or federal authority; or (v) if a moratorium on foreign exchange trading has been declared which materially adversely impacts the United States securities markets; or (vi) if the Company shall have sustained a material loss by fire, flood, accident, hurricane, earthquake, theft, sabotage, or other calamity or malicious act which, whether or not such loss shall have been insured, will, in your opinion, make it inadvisable to proceed with the delivery of the Firm Securities or Option Securities; or (vii) if the Company is in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, or covenants hereunder; or (viii) if the Underwriter shall have become aware after the date hereof of a Material Adverse Change, or an adverse material change in general market conditions as in the Underwriter’s judgment would make it impracticable to proceed with the offering, sale and/or delivery of the Public Securities or to enforce contracts made by the Underwriter for the sale of the Public Securities.

8.3.   Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of a default by the Underwriter, pursuant to Section 6.2 above, in the event that this Agreement shall not be carried out for any reason whatsoever, within the time specified herein or any extensions thereof pursuant to the terms herein, the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Underwriter fees earned and expenses incident to the Offering and the performance of the Underwriter’s obligations under this Agreement, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Underwriter related to the transactions contemplated herein then due and payable (including the fees and disbursements of Underwriter’s Counsel not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), background check costs and due diligence expenses). Upon demand by the Underwriter, the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Underwriter; provided, however, that such expense cap in no way limits or impairs the indemnification and contribution provisions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any advance received by the Underwriter will be reimbursed to the Company to the extent not actually incurred in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(A).

8.4.   Indemnification. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Agreement, any election hereunder or any termination of this Agreement, and whether or not this Agreement is otherwise carried out, the provisions of Section 5 shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be in any way affected by, such election or termination or failure to carry out the terms of this Agreement or any part hereof.

8.5.   Representations, Warranties, Agreements to Survive. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or its affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling any Underwriter, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company or (ii) delivery of and payment for the Public Securities.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the sale and purchase of Notes and Warrants may be conducted in tranches (each, a “Tranche” and together, the “Tranches”) consisting of (x) an initial tranche (the “Initial Tranche”) of (i) an aggregate Principal Amount of Notes of One Hundred Eighty Thousand and zero/100 Dollars ($180,000.00) and including an original issue discount of Twenty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred and Zero/100 United States Dollars ($27,500.00), to cover the Investors’ accounting fees, due diligence fees, monitoring, and/or other transactional costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Notes issued in connection with such Tranche and (ii) Warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Warrant Share Amounts with respect to such Tranche

2.2 Closings. Each sale of Notes and Warrants shall occur in one or more closing (each, a “Closing”) with the date upon which such Closing shall occur being referred to as, a “Closing Date”, and more specifically as follows:

(a) Generally, in Respect of Closings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Closing, including payment for and delivery of the Notes and Warrants in respect of such Closing, shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures.

2.3 Priority of Obligation. As an inducement for the Investor to enter into this Agreement and to purchase the Note, all obligations of the Company pursuant to this Agreement and the Notes until repaid or otherwise satisfied shall be senior in payment to any subsequent Indebtedness (as defined in the Notes).

2.4 Pro Rata Payments. The Company and each Investor hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Notes, to the extent the Company is obligated to make any payments hereunder or under the Notes to the Investors (or offers to make any prepayments hereunder or thereunder), all such payments shall be applied to outstanding principal amount of the Notes held by all Investors on a pro rata basis based on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount at the time of such prepayment. If any Investor shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of outstanding amounts under the Notes resulting in such Investor receiving payment of a proportion of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount at the time of such prepayment greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Investor receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the other Investors of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the principal amount owing to the other Investors under the applicable Notes, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Investors ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Notes and other amounts owing them. The Company consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Investor acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangement may exercise against the Company rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Investor were a direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.

The Company and each of the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company reasonably believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged.

4.4 Investment Intent; Accredited Investor. Each Investor is purchasing its Note and Warrant for its own account, for investment purposes, and not with a view towards distribution. Such Investor is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the 1933 Act. Such Investor has, by reason of its business and financial experience, such knowledge, sophistication and experience in financial and business matters and in making investment decisions of this type that it is capable of (a) evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in its Notes, Warrants and the Investor Shares and making an informed investment decision, (b) protecting its own interests and (c) bearing the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. Such Investor is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring its Notes, Warrants and the Investor Shares.

In making its investment decision, such Investor has relied solely on its own due diligence performed on the Company by its own representatives.

4.6 Restricted Securities. Each Investor understands that its Notes, Warrants and the Investor Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the 1933 Act and that its Note and the Investor Shares may not been registered under the 1933 Act except as otherwise required under the Transaction Documents. The Investor understands that its Notes, Warrants and the Investor Shares may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Investor absent an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, except (i) to the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the 1933 Act or (iii) pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, and, in each of cases (ii) and (iii), in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any book-entry position or certificates representing its Notes, Warrants or Investor Shares shall contain a notation or restrictive legend, as applicable, to such effect substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and as a result of these transfer restrictions, the Investor may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of its Notes, Warrants or Investor Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in its Notes, Warrants and Investor Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that (i) its Note, Warrants and Investor Shares will not be eligible for offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (“Rule 144”) until the date that is at least one year from the date that the Company filed “Form 10 information” with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is no longer an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i)) and (ii) additional conditions to any such transaction may apply under Rule 144 and other applicable securities laws to the extent that the Investor is at such time, or has been at any time in the immediately preceding three months, an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 144. The Investor understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of its Notes, Warrants or Investor Shares.

Within five (5) Trading Days after receiving a Subsequent Financing Notice, Holder shall inform the Company if it desires to fund the New Debt Securities (the “Funding Notice”).

(f) The Company and Holder agree that if Holder elects to fund the New Debt Securities transaction, the transaction documents related to thereto shall not include any term or provision whereby Holder shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the Securities purchased hereunder or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Holder.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.10 and unless otherwise agreed to by Holder, the Company shall either confirm in writing to Holder that the transaction with respect to the New Debt Securities transaction has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that such Holder will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the tenth (10th) Business Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

b. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party.

c. Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

d. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

Neither the Company nor the Lender shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender may assign its rights hereunder to any person that purchases Securities in a private transaction from the Lender or to any of its “affiliates,” as that term is defined under the Exchange Act, without the consent of the Company.

h. Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company and the agreements and covenants set forth in this Agreement shall survive the closing hereunder notwithstanding any due diligence investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Lender.

i. Further Assurances.

j. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

k. Remedies. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Lender by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Agreement will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement, that the Lender shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
