RECITALS

WHEREAS, Holder is the record and beneficial owner of a warrant, issued on March 17, 2025 (the “Prior Warrant”), to purchase [●] shares of the Issuer’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”); and

WHEREAS, the Issuer and the Holder have agreed to enter into this Agreement pursuant to which the Prior Warrant and all rights and obligations of the Holder thereunder, subject to the terms of this Agreement, are exchanged for [●] shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

ARTICLE I. EXCHANGE

1.01 The Exchange. At the Closing (as defined below), the Issuer and the Holder shall, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), exchange the Prior Warrant for the Shares (the “Exchange”), as described herein.

(a) Closing. The Exchange shall occur remotely via exchange of signatures on the same trading day (the “Closing”).

(b) Consideration. At the Closing, the Shares shall be issued to Holder in exchange for the Prior Warrant without the payment of any other consideration by such Holder that would not be consistent with the application of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act to the issuance of the Shares. Each Holder hereby agrees that, upon and subject to the Closing, all of the Issuer’s obligations under the terms and conditions of the Prior Warrant shall be automatically terminated and cancelled in full without any further action required, and that this Section 1(b) shall constitute an instrument of termination and cancellation of the Prior Warrant.

(c) Delivery. In the Exchange, the Issuer shall, at the Closing, deliver the Shares to the Holder, at the Holder’s election, in certificated or book entry form. The Shares shall contain any restrictive legends required by the Securities Act. The Holder shall dispose of or cause to be delivered to the Issuer (or its designee), within five (5) trading days after the Closing, the Prior Warrant. For the avoidance of doubt, as of the Closing all of the Holder’ rights under the terms and conditions of the Prior Warrant shall be extinguished.

(d) Tacking. The holding period of the Shares for purposes of Rule 144 and Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act tacks on to the holding period of the Prior Warrant.

1.02 Other Documents and Opinions. The Issuer and the Holder shall execute and/or deliver such other documents and agreements as are reasonably necessary to effectuate the Exchange pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Within one (1) trading day of any resales of Shares by the Holder, the Issuer shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Issuer’s transfer agent pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to effect the removal of any restrictive legend on such Shares.
