Re:	Inducement Offer to Exercise Existing Common Stock Purchase Warrants

Dear Holder:

Aspira Women’s Health Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to offer (this “Offer”) to you (“Holder”, “you” or similar terminology) the opportunity to receive new warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase up an aggregate of 2,566,667 shares (collectively, the “New Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), equal to 150% of the 1,711,111 shares of Common Stock (such shares, collectively, the “Warrant Shares”) issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Common Stock Purchase Warrants, currently held by you with warrants issued to you on August 22, 2022 to purchase up to 311, 111 shares of Common Stock (the “August 2022 Warrants”) and warrants issued to you on January 26, 2024 to purchase up to 1,400,000 shares of Common Stock (the “January 2024 Warrants” and, together with the August 2022 Warrants, the “Existing Warrants”), as more particularly set forth on the signature page hereto, in consideration for exercising for cash any or all such Existing Warrants at an exercise price of $1.25. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the New Warrants.

The Company is making you this offer during the period from the date of this Offer set forth above and until 7:30 am, Eastern Time, on July 31, 2024 (the “Exercise Period”). Exercise of the Existing Warrants may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times during the Exercise Period by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise attached to the Existing Warrants, as applicable; provided, that the exercise of Existing Warrants will be accompanied by payment in full of the applicable Exercise Price (as defined in the Existing Warrants) to the Company.

In consideration for exercising Existing Warrants held by Holder and each time that the Holder exercises Existing Warrants pursuant to the terms of this Offer (the “Warrant Exercise”), the Company hereby offers to issue you or your designees:

(a)

for exercising the Existing Warrants, new Common Stock Purchase Warrants (collectively, the “New Warrants”) pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to purchase up to a number of shares (the “New Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock equal to 150% of the number of Warrant Shares issued pursuant to such exercise of Existing Warrants, which such New Warrants to be issued substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto to purchase a number of Common Stock equal to 150% of the number of Warrant Shares issued pursuant to such exercise of Existing Warrants, exercisable at any time on or after the initial exercise date set forth therein with a term of exercise of five (5) years from the issuance date, at an exercise price per share equal to $1.36.

(b) New Warrant certificates shall be delivered within two (2) Trading Days following the Warrant Exercise, and the resale of the New Warrant Shares, shall be registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement (as defined hereinafter). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that any Warrant Exercise would otherwise cause the Holder to exceed the beneficial ownership limitations (“Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) set forth on the investor signature page herein (or, if applicable and at the Holder’s election, 9.99%), the Company shall only issue such number of Warrant Shares to the Holder that would not cause the Holder to exceed the maximum number of Warrant Shares permitted thereunder, as directed by the Holder, with the balance to be held in abeyance until notice from the Holder that the balance (or portion thereof) may be issued in compliance with such limitations, which abeyance shall be evidenced through the Existing Warrants which shall be deemed prepaid thereafter (including the payment in full of the exercise price), and exercised pursuant to a Notice of Exercise in the Existing Warrants (provided no additional exercise price shall be due and payable). The parties hereby agree that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation for purposes of the Existing Warrants is as set forth on the Holder’s signature page hereto.

Expressly subject to the paragraph immediately following this paragraph below, Holder may accept this offer by signing this letter below, which constitutes the Holder’s acceptance to exercise the Existing Warrants at the Holder’s own discretion subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation set forth in Section 2(b) of the Existing Warrants.

The Company agrees to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth on Annex A attached hereto.

The Holder represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, the Holder is fully aware of, and has reviewed all of the Company’s public filings on EDGAR since January 1, 2022, and as of the date hereof the Holder is, and on each date on which it exercises any New Warrants it will be, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and agrees that the New Warrants will not be registered under the Securities Act and will contain restrictive legends when issued, and the resale of the New Warrant Shares will be registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement or a subsequent filing or filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The Holder also represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, such Holder: (i) is acquiring the New Warrants as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such New Warrants (this representation and warranty not limiting such Holder’s right to sell the New Warrants or New Warrant Shares pursuant to a registration statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws); and (ii) understands that the New Warrants are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring such New Warrants as principal for his, her or its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such New Warrants or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such New Warrants in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such New Warrants in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Holder’s right to sell such New Warrants pursuant to a registration statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws).

Upon the Holder’s exercise of the New Warrants, certificates or statements of book-entry evidencing the New Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend, (i) while a registration statement

covering the resale of such New Warrant Shares is effective under the Securities Act, and if necessary, a final prospectus or prospectus supplement, has been filed with the Commission and no stop order preventing or suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or suspending or preventing the use of such final prospectus or prospectus supplement has been issued by the Commission, (ii) following any sale of such New Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (iii) if such New Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the New Warrants), without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 as to such New Warrant Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, (iv) if such New Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the New Warrants) and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 as to such New Warrant Shares, or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission and the earliest of clauses (i) through (v), (the “Delegend Date”)). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Delegend Date if required by the Company and/or the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or at the request of the Holder, which opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder. From and after the Delegend Date, such New Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends, provided that, upon request of the Company (which request shall also include a form of customary representation letter), the Holder has delivered in advance to the Company a customary representation letter that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel. The Company agrees that following the Delegend Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section, it will, no later than two (2) Trading Days following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing the New Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such second (2nd) Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends or, at the request of the Holder, shall credit the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Holder.

In addition to the Holder’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Holder, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of New Warrant Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such New Warrant Shares are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the New Warrant Shares free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of New Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder by the Legend Removal Date and for which the Holder was required to purchase shares to timely satisfy delivery requirements, multiplied by (B) the weighted average price at which the Holder sold that number of shares of Common Stock.

If this offer is accepted and the Transaction Documents are executed, then on or 8:30 a.m., Eastern Time, on the Trading Date following the date hereof, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder, including this letter agreement (this “Agreement” and together with the New Warrants and the Existing Warrants, the “Transaction Documents”) as an exhibit thereto with the Commission within the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of the filing of such Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company represents to you that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to you by the Company, or any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder. In addition, effective upon the filing of such Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates on the one hand, and you and your Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate. The Company represents, warrants and covenants that, upon acceptance of this offer, and upon issuance of the Warrant Shares, the Warrant Shares shall be issued free of any legends or restrictions on resale by Holder.

No later than the first (1st) Trading Day following the first Trading Day after the date hereof, the closing (“Closing”) shall occur remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures or such other location as the parties shall mutually agree. Unless otherwise directed by A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Placement Agent”), settlement of the Warrant Shares shall occur via “Delivery Versus Payment” (“DVP”) (i.e., on the Closing Date, the Company shall issue the Warrant Shares registered in the Holder’s name and address provided to the Company in writing and released by the Transfer Agent directly to the account(s) at the Placement Agent identified by the Holder; upon receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Placement Agent shall promptly electronically deliver such Warrant Shares to the Holder, and payment therefor shall concurrently be made to the Company by the Placement Agent (or its clearing firm) by wire transfer to the Company). The date of the Closing of the exercise of the Existing Warrants shall be referred to as the “Closing Date.”

The New Warrants and New Warrant Shares are duly authorized and the New Warrant Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of this letter and the New Warrants , will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens imposed by the Company. The New Warrants constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except: (i) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and subject to general principles of equity.

c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents; or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any liens, claims, security interests, other encumbrances or defects upon any of the properties or assets of the Company in connection with, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any material agreement, credit facility, debt or other material instrument (evidencing Company debt or otherwise) or other material understanding to which such Company is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected; or (iii) conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation,

d) Registration Obligations. As soon as practicable (and in any event within 30 calendar days of the date of this Agreement), the Company shall file with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (or other appropriate form if the Company is not then Form S-3 eligible) providing for the resale of the New Warrant Shares by the holders of the New Warrants (the “Resale Registration Statement”). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to become effective within 60 days (90 days in the event the Commission elects to review such registration statement) following the date of filing with the Commission and to keep the Resale Registration Statement effective at all times until no holder of the New Warrants owns any New Warrants or New Warrant Shares.

The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.
