Ladies
and Gentlemen:
The
undersigned, HWH International 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) or the “Representative”), and
with the other underwriters named on Schedule 1 hereto for which the Representative is acting as representative (the Representative
and such other underwriters being collectively called the “Underwriters” or, individually, an “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 several Underwriters, an aggregate of [__] authorized but unissued shares (the
“Firm Shares”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common
Stock”), and 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 Underwriters, for delivery to such purchasers, at the
election of the purchasers, a number of shares of pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) exercisable for
one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.00001 per share, in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement
(as hereinafter defined) (the “Firm Pre-Funded Warrants,” and collectively with the Common Stock, the
“Firm Securities”).
(ii) The
Firm Shares are to be offered initially to the public at the offering price set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus (as hereinafter
defined). The purchase price of each Firm Pre-Funded Warrant will be equal to the price per Firm Share being sold in the offering, minus
$0.00001.
1.1.2. Payment
and Delivery of Securities.
(i)
Delivery and payment for the Firm Securities shall be made at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the first (1nd) Business Day
following the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of the Registration Statement (as defined in Section 2.1.1
below) (or the second (2rd) Business Day following the Effective Date if the Registration Statement is declared effective
after 4:01 p.m., Eastern time) or at such earlier time as shall be agreed upon by the Representative and the Company, at the offices
of Lucosky Brookman LLP, 10 Wood Avenue South, 5th Floor, Woodbridge, NJ 08830, Attn. Joseph Lucosky
(“Representative Counsel”), or at such other place (or remotely by facsimile or other electronic transmission) as
shall be agreed upon by the Representative and the Company. The hour and date of delivery and payment for the Firm Securities is
called the “Closing Date.”
(ii)
Payment for the Firm Securities 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 Underwriters) representing the Firm
Securities (or through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)) for the account of the
Underwriters. The Firm Securities shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denominations as the
Representative 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 Firm Securities except upon tender of payment by the Representative for all of the Firm Securities. 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; provided, however, for clarification, commercial banks shall not be
deemed to be authorized or required by law to remain closed due to “stay-at-home,” “shelter-in-place,”
“non-essential employee” or any other similar orders or restrictions or the closure of any physical branch locations at
the direction of any governmental authority so long as the electronic funds transfer systems (including for wire transfers) of
commercial banks in The City of New York generally are open for use by customers on such day.
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 Firm
Securities, the Company hereby grants to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to [__] additional shares of Common Stock (the
“Option Shares”) and/or [ ] additional Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase an aggregate of [__] shares of Common
Stock (the “Option Pre-Funded Warrants,” and collectively with the Option Shares, the “Option
Securities”), representing fifteen percent (15%) of the Firm Shares and/or Firm Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the offering,
from the Company (the “Over-allotment Option”). The purchase price to be paid per Option Share and Option
Pre-Funded Warrant shall be equal to the price per Firm Share and Firm Pre-Funded Warrant set forth in Section 1.1.1 hereof. The
Firm Pre-Funded Warrants and the Options Pre-Funded Warrants are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Pre-Funded
Warrants.” The shares of Common Stock into which the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable are hereinafter referred to as
the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares.” The Firm Securities and the Option Securities are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Primary Securities.” The Primary Securities and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the “Public Securities.” The offering and sale of the Primary Securities is
hereinafter 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 Representative as to all
(at any time) or any part (from time to time) of the Option Securities within 45 days after the Effective Date. The purchase price
to be paid per Option Share and Option Pre-Funded Warrants shall be equal to the Firm Share purchase price set forth in Section
1.1.1(ii) hereof. The Underwriters 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 Representative, which must be confirmed in writing by overnight mail or facsimile or other electronic transmission setting forth
the number of Option Shares and Option Pre-Funded Warrants to be purchased and the date and time for delivery of and payment for the
Option Securities (the “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 Representative, at the offices of Representative
Counsel or at such other place (including remotely by facsimile or other electronic transmission) as shall be agreed upon by the
Company and the Representative. If such delivery and payment for the Option Securities does not occur on the Closing Date, the
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, (i) the Company shall become obligated to
sell to the Underwriters the number of Option Shares and Option Pre-Funded Warrants specified in such notice and (ii) each of the
Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, shall purchase that portion of the total number of Option Shares and Option
Pre-Funded Warrants then being purchased as set forth in Schedule 1 opposite the name of such Underwriter.
1.2.3.
Payment and Delivery. Payment for the Option Securities 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 Underwriters) representing the Option Shares and Option Pre-Funded Warrants (or through the facilities of DTC)
for the account of the Underwriters. The Option Securities shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized
denominations as the Representative 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 except upon tender of payment by the Representative for
applicable Option Securities.
1.3.
Representative’s Warrants.
1.3.1. Purchase
Warrants. The Company hereby agrees to issue to the Representative (and/or its designees) on the Closing Date a warrant (“Representative’s
Warrants”) for the purchase of an aggregate of [__] shares of Common Stock, representing 5% of the number of Firm Shares. The
agreement(s) representing the Representative’s Warrants, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Representative’s
Warrant Agreement”), shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, commencing on a date which is six (6) months after the Effective
Date and expiring on the five-year anniversary of the Effective Date at an initial exercise price per share of Common Stock of $[__],
which is equal to 110.0% of the initial public offering price of the Firm Shares. The Representative’s Warrant Agreement and the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof are hereinafter referred to together as the “Representative’s Securities.”
The Representative understands and agrees that there are significant restrictions pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 against transferring the
Representative’s Warrant Agreement and the underlying shares of Common Stock during the one hundred and eighty (180) days after
the Effective Date and by its acceptance thereof shall agree that it will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate the Representative’s
Warrant Agreement, or any portion thereof, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would
result in the effective economic disposition of such securities for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days following the Effective
Date to anyone other than (i) an Underwriter or a selected dealer in connection with the Offering, or (ii) a bona fide officer or partner
of the Representative or of any such Underwriter or selected dealer; and only if any such transferee agrees to the foregoing lock-up
restrictions.
1.3.2. Delivery.
Delivery of the Representative’s Warrant Agreement shall be made on the Closing Date, and shall be issued in the name or names
and in such authorized denominations as the Representative may request.
2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.
The
Company represents and warrants to the Underwriters as of the Applicable Time (as defined below), as of the Closing Date and as of the
Option Closing Date, if any, as follows:
2.1.
Filing of Registration Statement.
2.1.1. Pursuant
to the Securities Act. The Company has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) a registration statement, and an amendment or amendments thereto, on Form S-1 (File No.
333-282567), including any related prospectus or prospectuses, for the registration of the Public Securities and the
Representative’s Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Except as
the context may otherwise require, such registration statement, as amended, on file with the Commission at the time the registration
statement became effective (including the Preliminary Prospectus included in the registration statement, financial statements,
schedules, exhibits and all other documents filed as a part thereof or incorporated therein and all information deemed to be a part
thereof as of the Effective Date pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 430A (the “Rule 430A Information”) of the
rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act Regulations”), is referred to
herein as the “Registration Statement.” If the Company files any registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b)
of the Securities Act Regulations, then after such filing, the term “Registration Statement” shall include such
registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b). The Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission on
the date hereof.
Each
prospectus used prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and each prospectus that omitted the Rule 430A Information
that was used after such effectiveness and prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, is herein called a “Preliminary
Prospectus.” The Preliminary Prospectus, subject to completion, dated [●], 2024, that was included in the Registration
Statement immediately prior to the Applicable Time is hereinafter called the “Pricing Prospectus.” The final prospectus
in the form first furnished to the Underwriters for use in the Offering, that includes the Rule 430A Information, is hereinafter called

Section 10A(g) of the Exchange Act.
2.8.
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

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,

subsidiaries, including each entity disclosed or described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the

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. The Company represents
that it has no direct or indirect subsidiaries other than those listed in Exhibit 21.1 to the Registration Statement.

Capital; Options, etc. The Company had, at the date or dates indicated in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package
and the Prospectus, the duly authorized, issued and outstanding capitalization as set forth therein. Based on the assumptions stated
in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Company will have on the Closing Date the adjusted
capitalization set forth therein. Except as set forth in, or contemplated by, the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package
and the Prospectus, on the Effective Date, as of the Applicable Time and on the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date, there will
be no stock options, warrants, or other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire any authorized, but unissued shares of Common Stock of
the Company or any security convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock of the Company, or any contracts or commitments to
issue or sell shares of Common Stock or any such options, warrants, rights or convertible securities.

and other outstanding securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, were at all relevant times either registered
under the Securities Act and the applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws or, based in part on the representations
and warranties of the purchasers of such shares of Common Stock, exempt from such registration requirements. The description of the Company’s
stock option, stock bonus and other related plans or arrangements, and options and/or other rights granted thereunder, as described in
the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, accurately and fairly present, in all material respects,
the information required to be shown with respect to such plans, arrangements, options and rights.

to the preemptive rights of any holders of any security of the Company or similar contractual rights granted by the Company.

Warrant Agreement, and all ancillary documents, the consummation by the Company of the transactions herein and therein contemplated and
the compliance by the Company with the terms hereof and thereof do not and will not, with or without the giving of notice or the lapse
of time or both: (i) result in a breach of, or conflict with any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result

Controls. The Company has developed and currently maintains disclosure controls and procedures that comply in all material respects
with Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act Regulations, and except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure

other public disclosure documents.
2.29.2. Compliance.
The Company is and at the Applicable Time and on the Closing Date will be, in material compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley

Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
2.30. Accounting
Controls. The Company and its Subsidiaries maintain systems of “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined
under Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act Regulations) that comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange
Act and have been designed by, or under the supervision of, their respective principal executive and principal financial officers, or
persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, including, but not limited to, internal accounting controls sufficient
to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations;
(ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset
accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and
(iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken
with respect to any differences. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus,
the Company is not aware of any material weaknesses in its internal controls. The Company’s auditors and the Audit Committee of
the Board of Directors of the Company have been advised of: (i) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are known to the Company’s management and that have adversely affected
or are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information;
and (ii) any fraud known to the Company’s management, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who
have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
2.31. No
Investment Company Status. The Company is not and, after giving effect to the Offering and the application of the proceeds thereof
as described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, will not be, required to register as an
“investment company,” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
2.32. No
Labor Disputes. No labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries exists or, to the knowledge of the
Company, is imminent. The Company is not aware that any officer, key employee or significant group of employees of the Company plans

2.33. Intellectual
Property Rights. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries owns or possesses or has valid rights to use all patents, patent applications,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, trademark registrations, service mark registrations, copyrights, licenses, inventions, trade
secrets and similar rights (“Intellectual Property Rights”) and necessary for the conduct of the business of the Company
and each of its Subsidiaries as currently carried on and as described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and
the Prospectus. To the knowledge of the Company, no action or use by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries necessary for the conduct
of its business as currently carried on and as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus will involve or give rise to
any infringement of, or license or similar fees for, any Intellectual Property Rights of others. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
has received any notice alleging any such infringement, fee or conflict with asserted Intellectual Property Rights of others. Except
as would not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Change: (A) to the knowledge of
the Company, there is no infringement, misappropriation or violation by third parties of any of the Intellectual Property Rights owned
by the Company; (B) there is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging
the rights of the Company in or to any such Intellectual Property Rights, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a
reasonable basis for any such claim, that would, individually or in the aggregate, together with any other claims in this Section 2.33,
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change; (C) the Intellectual Property Rights owned by the Company and, to the
knowledge of the Company, the Intellectual Property Rights licensed to the Company have not been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction
invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit,
proceeding or claim by others challenging the validity or scope of any such Intellectual Property Rights, and the Company is unaware
of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim that would, individually or in the aggregate, together with any other
claims in this Section 2.33, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change; (D) there is no pending or, to the Company’s
knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others that the Company infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates any
Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights of others, the Company has not received any written notice of such claim and
the Company is unaware of any other facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim that would, individually or in the aggregate,
together with any other claims in this Section 2.33, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change; and (E) to the Company’s
knowledge, no employee of the Company is in or has ever been in violation in any material respect of any term of any employment contract,
patent disclosure agreement, invention assignment agreement, non-competition agreement, non-solicitation agreement, nondisclosure agreement
or any restrictive covenant to or with a former employer where the basis of such violation relates to such employee’s employment
with the Company, or actions undertaken by the employee while employed with the Company and could reasonably be expected to result, individually
or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Change. To the Company’s knowledge, all material technical information developed by
and belonging to the Company which has not been patented has been kept confidential. The Company is not a party to or bound by any options,
licenses or agreements with respect to the Intellectual Property Rights of any other person or entity that are required to be set forth
in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and are not described therein. The Registration Statement,
the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus contain in all material respects the same description of the matters set forth in the
preceding sentence. None of the technology employed by the Company has been obtained or is being used by the Company in violation of
any contractual obligation binding on the Company or, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its officers, directors or employees,
or otherwise in violation of the rights of any persons.
2.34. Taxes.
Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has filed all returns (as hereinafter defined) required to be filed with taxing authorities
prior to the date hereof or has duly obtained extensions of time for the filing thereof. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has
paid all taxes (as hereinafter defined) shown as due on such returns that were filed and has paid all taxes imposed on or assessed against
the Company or such respective Subsidiary except those that are being contested in good faith or as would not have, individually or in
the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change. The provisions for taxes payable, if any, shown on the financial statements filed
with or as part of the Registration Statement are sufficient for all accrued and unpaid taxes, whether or not disputed, and for all periods
to and including the dates of such consolidated financial statements. Except as disclosed in writing to the Underwriters, (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. To the Company’s knowledge, there are no tax liens
against the assets, properties or business of the Company or its Subsidiaries. The term “taxes” means all federal,
state, local, foreign and other net income, gross income, gross receipts, sales, use, ad valorem, transfer, franchise, profits, license,
lease, service, service use, withholding, payroll, employment, excise, severance, stamp, occupation, premium, property, windfall profits,
customs, duties or other taxes, fees, assessments or charges of any kind whatever, together with any interest and any penalties, additions
to tax or additional amounts with respect thereto. The term “returns” means all returns, declarations, reports, statements
and other documents required to be filed in respect to taxes.
2.35. ERISA
Compliance. The Company and any “employee benefit plan” (as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (collectively, “ERISA”)) established
or maintained by the Company or its “ERISA Affiliates” (as defined below) are in compliance in all material respects with
ERISA. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to the Company, any member of any group of organizations described in
Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations
thereunder (the “Code”) of which the Company is a member. 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.
2.36. Compliance
with Laws. Each of the Company and each Subsidiary: (A) is and at all times has been in compliance with all statutes, rules, or regulations
applicable to the business of the Company as currently conducted (“Applicable Laws”), except as could not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change; (B) has not received any warning letter, untitled letter
or other correspondence or notice from any Governmental Entity alleging or asserting noncompliance with any Applicable Laws or any Authorizations;
(C) possesses all Authorizations and such Authorizations are valid and in full force and effect and are not in violation of any term
of any such Authorizations, except where the invalidity of such Authorizations or the failure of such Authorizations to be in full force
and effect would not result in a Material Adverse Change; (D) has not received notice of any claim, action, suit, proceeding, hearing,
enforcement, investigation, arbitration or other action from any Governmental Entity or third party alleging that any activity conducted
by the Company is in violation of any Applicable Laws or Authorizations and has no knowledge that any such Governmental Entity or third
party is considering any such claim, litigation, arbitration, action, suit, investigation or proceeding; (E) has not received notice
that any Governmental Entity has taken, is taking or intends to take action to limit, suspend, modify or revoke any Authorizations and
has no knowledge that any such Governmental Entity is considering such action; and (F) has filed, obtained, maintained or submitted all
reports, documents, forms, notices, applications, records, claims, submissions and supplements or amendments as required by any Applicable
Laws or Authorizations and that all such reports, documents, forms, notices, applications, records, claims, submissions and supplements
or amendments were complete and correct on the date filed (or were corrected or supplemented by a subsequent submission), except where
the failure to be so in compliance would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.
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.
2.39. Title
to Property. Except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Company and
its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to, or have valid rights to lease or otherwise use, all items of real or
personal property which are material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in each case free and clear
of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, claims and defects that do not, singly or in the aggregate, materially affect the value
of such property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company or its Subsidiaries;
and all of the leases and subleases material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, and under
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries holds properties described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package
and the Prospectus, are, to the Company’s knowledge, in full force and effect, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received
any notice of any material claim of any sort that has been asserted by anyone adverse to the rights of the Company or any Subsidiary
under any of the leases or subleases mentioned above, or affecting or questioning the rights of the Company or any Subsidiary to the
continued possession of the leased or subleased premises under any such lease or sublease.
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. There are no outstanding loans, advances (except normal advances for business expenses in the ordinary
course of business) or guarantees or indebtedness by the Company or its Subsidiaries to or for the benefit of any of the officers or
directors of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective family members, except as disclosed in the Registration Statement,
the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
2.42. Ineligible
Issuer. At the time of filing the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the Effective Date and at the
time of any amendment thereto, at the earliest time thereafter that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer
(within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of the Securities Act Regulations) of the Public Securities and at the Effective Date, the Company
was not and is not an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405, without taking account of any determination by the Commission
pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not necessary that the Company be considered an ineligible issuer.
2.43. Smaller
Reporting Company. As of the time of filing of the Registration Statement, the Company was a “smaller reporting company,”
as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act Regulations.
2.44. Industry
Data. The statistical and market-related data included in each of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and
the Prospectus are based on or derived from sources that the Company reasonably and in good faith believes are reliable and accurate
or represent the Company’s good faith estimates that are made on the basis of data derived from such sources.
2.45. Electronic
Road Show. The Company has made available a Bona Fide Electronic Road Show in compliance with Rule 433(d)(8)(ii) of the Securities
Act Regulations such that no filing of any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433(h) of the Securities Act Regulations) is required
in connection with the Offering.
2.46. Margin
Securities. The Company owns no “margin securities” as that term is defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”), and none of the proceeds of Offering will be used, directly
or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness
which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin security or for any other purpose which might cause any of the Public Securities
to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meanings of Regulation T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board.
2.47. Dividends
and Distributions. Except as disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package, Registration Statement and the Prospectus, no Subsidiary
of the Company is currently prohibited or restricted, directly or indirectly, from paying any dividends to the Company, from making any
other distribution on such Subsidiary’s capital stock (to the extent that any such prohibition or restriction on dividends and/or
distributions would have a material effect to the Company), from repaying to the Company any loans or advances to such Subsidiary from
the Company or from transferring any of such Subsidiary’s property or assets to the Company or any other Subsidiary of the Company,
except as may otherwise be provided in current loan or mortgage-related documents.
2.48. Forward-Looking
Statements. No forward-looking statement (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange
Act) contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus has been made or reaffirmed without a
reasonable basis or has been disclosed other than in good faith.
2.49. Integration.
Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any
offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause the Offering to be
integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act that would require the registration of any such securities
under the Securities Act.
2.50. Confidentiality
and Non-Competition. To the Company’s knowledge, no director, officer, key employee or consultant of the Company or any Subsidiary
is subject to any confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-competition agreement or non-solicitation agreement with any employer (other than
the Company) or prior employer that could materially affect his or her ability to be and act in his or her respective capacity of the
Company or such Subsidiary or be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
2.51. Corporate
Records. The minute books of the Company have been made available to the Representative and Representative Counsel and such books
(i) contain minutes of all material meetings and actions of the Board of Directors (including each board committee) and stockholders
of the Company, and (ii) reflect all material transactions referred to in such minutes.
2.52. Diligence
Materials. The Company has provided to the Representative and Representative Counsel all materials required or necessary to respond
in all material respects to the diligence request submitted to the Company or Company Counsel by the Representative.

3. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
The
Company covenants and agrees as follows:
3.1. Amendments
to Registration Statement. The Company shall deliver to the Representative, at least one (1) Business Day (or such shorter time mutually

Securities Laws.

from the Commission; (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement

period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)), and shall take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly
whether the form of prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424(b) was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that
it was not, it will promptly file such prospectus. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order,
prevention or suspension and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.
3.2.2. Continued
Compliance. The Company shall comply with the Securities Act, the Securities Act Regulations, the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act
Regulations so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Public Securities as contemplated in this Agreement and in the
Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. If at any time when a prospectus relating to the Public Securities
is (or, but for the exception afforded by Rule 172 of the Securities Act Regulations (“Rule 172”), would be) required
by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Public Securities, any event shall occur or condition shall exist
as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of Representative Counsel or Company Counsel, to (i) amend the Registration Statement
in order that the Registration Statement will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) amend or supplement the Pricing Disclosure Package
or the Prospectus in order that the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, will not include any untrue statement

the Representative with copies of any such amendment or supplement; and (C) file with the Commission any such amendment or supplement;
provided that the Company shall not file or use any such amendment or supplement to which the Representative or Representative Counsel
shall reasonably object. The Company will furnish to the Underwriters such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Underwriters

years after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not deregister the Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrants under the Exchange Act
without the prior written consent of the Representative.
3.2.4. Free
Writing Prospectuses. The Company agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Representative, it shall not make
any offer relating to the Public Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute
a “free writing prospectus,” or a portion thereof, required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by
the Company under Rule 433; provided that the Representative shall be deemed to have consented to each Issuer General Use Free Writing
Prospectus set forth in Schedule 2-B. The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each such free writing
prospectus consented to, or deemed consented to, by the Representative as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined
in Rule 433, and that it has complied and will comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 433 with respect thereto, including timely
filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would
conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or included or would include an untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
existing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Representative and will promptly amend or supplement,
at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.
3.2.5. Testing-the-Waters
Communications. If at any time following the distribution of any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication there occurred or
occurs an event or development as a result of which such Written Testing-the-Waters Communication included or would include an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company shall promptly notify the
Representative and shall promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Written Testing-the-Waters Communication to
eliminate or correct such untrue statement or omission.
3.3. Delivery
to the Underwriters of Registration Statements. The Company has delivered or made available or shall deliver or make available to
the Representative and Representative Counsel, without charge, conformed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and
each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith) and signed copies of all consents and certificates of experts, and will also
deliver to each Underwriter, without charge, a conformed copy of the Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment thereto
(without exhibits) upon receipt of a written request therefor from such Underwriter. The copies of the Registration Statement and each
amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission
pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
3.4. Delivery
to the Underwriters of Prospectuses. The Company has delivered or made available or will deliver or make available to each Underwriter,
without charge, as many copies of each Preliminary Prospectus as such Underwriter reasonably requested, and the Company hereby consents
to the use of such copies for purposes permitted by the Securities Act. The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, without charge,
during the period when a prospectus relating to the Public Securities is (or, but for the exception afforded by Rule 172 of the Securities
Act Regulations, would be) required to be delivered under the Securities Act, such number of copies of the Prospectus (as amended or
supplemented) as such Underwriter may reasonably request. The Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished to the Underwriters
will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent
permitted by Regulation S-T.
3.5. Effectiveness
and Events Requiring Notice to the Representative. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to
remain effective with a current prospectus for at least nine (9) months after the Applicable Time, and shall notify the Representative
promptly and confirm the notice in writing: (i) of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto; (ii) of
the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or of the initiation, or the threatening, of any proceeding for that purpose; (iii)
of the issuance by any state securities commission of any proceedings for the suspension of the qualification of the Public Securities
for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or of the initiation, or the threatening, of any proceeding for that purpose; (iv) of the mailing
and delivery to the Commission for filing of any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus; (v) of the receipt
of any comments or request for any additional information from the Commission; and (vi) of the happening of any event during the period
described in this Section 3.5 that, in the judgment of the Company, makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement,
the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus untrue or that requires the making of any changes in (a) the Registration Statement
in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (b) in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Commission or any state securities
commission shall enter a stop order or suspend such qualification at any time, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain promptly the lifting of such order.

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 and the Representative’s Warrant Shares 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 the 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 Underwriters’ 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 Underwriters’ 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.
5.2.
Indemnification of the Company. Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, 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 several Underwriters, 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 Underwriters’ 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 several Underwriters by the provisions of Section 5.1.2.
The Company agrees promptly to notify the Representative 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 each of the Underwriters, 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 Underwriters, 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 Underwriters, 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 Underwriters 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 Underwriters, 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 Underwriters, 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 Representative by or on behalf of any Underwriter for use in any Preliminary
Prospectus, any Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, consists solely of the Underwriters’
Information. The Company and the Underwriters 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 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.
The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 5.3 are several and in proportion to their respective
underwriting obligation, and not joint.
6.
DEFAULT BY AN UNDERWRITER.
6.1.
Default Not Exceeding 10% of Firm Securities or Option Securities. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its
or their 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
10% of the number of Firm Shares and Firm Pre-Funded Warrants or Option Shares and Option Pre-Funded Warrants that all Underwriters have
agreed to purchase hereunder, then such Firm Securities or Option Securities to which the default relates shall be purchased by the non-defaulting
Underwriters 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 10% of the number of Firm Shares and Firm Pre-Funded Warrants or Option Shares and Option Pre-Funded Warrants, the
Representative 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 10% of the number of Firm Shares and Firm Pre-Funded Warrants or Option Shares and Option Pre-Funded Warrants, the Representative
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 Representative to purchase said Firm
Securities or Option Securities on such terms. In the event that neither the Representative 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 Representative or the Company without liability on the part of the Company (except as provided in Sections 3.10
and 5 hereof) or the several Underwriters (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 other Underwriters and 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 Underwriters, 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 Representative 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 Representative’s prior written consent, for a period ending at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the first (1st)
Business Day following the fortieth (40th) day after the Closing Date, other than normal and customary releases issued in
the ordinary course of the Company’s business.
8.
EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION THEREOF.
8.1.
Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective when both the Company and the Representative have executed the same
and delivered counterparts of such signatures to the other party.
8.2.
Termination. The Representative 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 Representative’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 Representative 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 Representative’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 Underwriters 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 Underwriters,
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 Underwriters their
actual and accountable out-of-pocket expenses related to the transactions contemplated herein then due and payable (including the fees
and disbursements of Representative Counsel) up to $75,000, background check costs and due diligence expenses, and upon demand the Company
shall pay the full amount thereof to the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters; 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 Representative 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.
9.

and shall become effective when one or more counterparts has been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to each of the other

sufficient delivery thereof.
9.8.
Waiver, etc. The failure of any of the parties hereto to at any time enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not
be deemed or construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor to in any way effect the validity of this Agreement or any provision

non-compliance or non-fulfillment of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument
executed by the party or parties against whom or which enforcement of such waiver is sought; and no waiver of any such breach, non-compliance

2.2
Cashless Exercise. If at any time after the Commencement Date there is no effective registration statement registering,

together with the exercise form attached hereto, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder, Shares in accordance with the following
formula:
Where, |
|
|
|
|
X |
= |
The
number of Shares to be issued to Holder; |
|
Y |
= |
The
number of Shares for which the Purchase Warrant is being exercised; |
|
A |
= |
The
fair market value of one Share; and |
|
B |
= |
The
Exercise Price. |
For
purposes of this Section 2.2, the fair market value of a Share is defined as follows:
|
(i) |
if
the Company’s common stock is traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the closing price on such exchange
prior to the exercise form being submitted in connection with the exercise of the Purchase Warrant; or |
|
(ii) |
if
the Company’s common stock is actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the closing bid price prior
to the exercise form being submitted in connection with the exercise of the Purchase Warrant; if there is no active public market,
the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. |
2.3
Legend. Each certificate for the securities purchased under this Purchase Warrant shall bear a legend as follows unless such securities
have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”):
“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE LAW. NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE LAW WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY, IS AVAILABLE.”
3.
Transfer.
3.1
General Restrictions. The registered Holder of this Purchase Warrant agrees by his, her or its acceptance hereof, that such Holder
will not: (a) sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate this Purchase Warrant or the securities issuable hereunder for a period
of one-hundred and eighty (180) days following the Effective Date to anyone other than: (i) EF Hutton LLC (“EF Hutton”)
or an underwriter or a selected dealer participating in the Offering, or (ii) a bona fide officer or partner of EF Hutton or of
any such underwriter or selected dealer, in each case in accordance with FINRA Conduct Rule 5110(e)(1), or (b) for a period
of one-hundred and eighty (180) days following the Effective Date, cause this Purchase Warrant or the securities issuable hereunder to
be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition
of this Purchase Warrant or the securities hereunder, except as provided for in FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2). On and after one-hundred
and eighty (180) days after the Effective Date, transfers to others may be made subject to compliance with or exemptions from applicable
securities laws. In order to make any permitted assignment, the Holder must deliver to the Company the assignment form attached hereto
duly executed and completed, together with the Purchase Warrant and payment of all transfer taxes, if any, payable in connection therewith.
The Company shall within five (5) business days transfer this Purchase Warrant on the books of the Company and shall execute and
deliver a new Purchase Warrant or Purchase Warrants of like tenor to the appropriate assignee(s) expressly evidencing the right
to purchase the aggregate number of Shares purchasable hereunder or such portion of such number as shall be contemplated by any such
assignment.
3.2
Restrictions Imposed by the Securities Act. The securities evidenced by this Purchase Warrant shall not be transferred unless
and until: (i) the Company has received the opinion of counsel for the Holder that the securities may be transferred pursuant to
an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the availability of which is established
to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company (the Company hereby agreeing that the opinion of [________] shall be deemed satisfactory
evidence of the availability of an exemption), or (ii) a registration statement or a post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement relating to the offer and sale of such securities has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and compliance with applicable state securities law has been established.
4
Registration Rights.
4.1
Demand Registration.
4.1.1
Grant of Right. The Company, upon written demand (a “Demand Notice”) of the Holders of at least 51% of the
Purchase Warrants and/or the underlying Shares, agrees to register, on one (1) occasion, all or any portion of the Shares underlying
the Purchase Warrants (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”). On such occasion, the Company will file a registration
statement with the Commission covering the Registrable Securities within sixty (60) days after receipt of a Demand Notice and use its
reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective promptly thereafter, subject to compliance with review
by the Commission; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to comply with a Demand Notice if the Company
has filed a registration statement with respect to which the Holder is entitled to piggyback registration rights pursuant to Section 4.2
hereof and either: (i) the Holder has elected to participate in the offering covered by such registration statement or (ii) if
such registration statement relates to an underwritten primary offering of securities of the Company, until the offering covered by such
registration statement has been withdrawn or until thirty (30) days after such offering is consummated. The Company covenants and agrees
to give written notice of its receipt of any Demand Notice by any Holders to all other registered Holders of the Purchase Warrants and/or
the Registrable Securities within ten (10) days after the date of the receipt of any such Demand Notice.
4.1.2
Terms. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.1.1,
but the Holders shall pay any and all underwriting commissions and the expenses of any legal counsel selected by the Holders to represent
them in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the filing
required herein to become effective promptly and to qualify or register the Registrable Securities in such states as are reasonably requested
by the Holders; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to register the Registrable Securities
in a State in which such registration would cause: (i) the Company to be obligated to register or license to do business in such
State or submit to general service of process in such State, or (ii) the principal stockholders of the Company to be obligated to
escrow their shares of capital stock of the Company. The Company shall cause any registration statement filed pursuant to the demand
right granted under Section 4.1.1 to remain effective for a period of at least twelve (12) consecutive months after the date that
the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement are first given the opportunity to sell all of such
securities. The Holders shall only use the prospectuses provided by the Company to sell the shares covered by such registration statement,
and will immediately cease to use any prospectus furnished by the Company if the Company advises the Holder that such prospectus may
no longer be used due to a material misstatement or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.1.2, the Holder shall
be entitled to a demand registration under this Section 4.1.2 on only one (1) occasion and such demand registration right shall
terminate on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(C).
4.2
“Piggy-Back” Registration.
4.2.1
Grant of Right. In addition to the demand right of registration described in Section 4.1 hereof, the Holder shall have the
right, for a period of no more than seven (7) years from the Effective Date in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D), to
include the Registrable Securities as part of any other registration of securities filed by the Company (other than in connection with
a transaction contemplated by Rule 145(a) promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to Form S-8 or Form S-4
or any equivalent form); provided, however, that if, solely in connection with any primary underwritten public offering
for the account of the Company, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall, in its reasonable discretion, impose a limitation on
the number of shares of common stock which may be included in the Registration Statement because, in such underwriter(s)’ judgment,
marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company shall be obligated
to include in such Registration Statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which the Holder requested
inclusion hereunder as the underwriter shall reasonably permit. Any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among
the Holders seeking to include Registrable Securities in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included by
such Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has first
excluded all outstanding securities, the holders of which are not entitled to inclusion of such securities in such Registration Statement
or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities.
4.2.2
Terms. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.2.1
hereof, but the Holders shall pay any and all underwriting commissions and the expenses of any legal counsel selected by the Holders
to represent them in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities. In the event of such a proposed registration, the Company
shall furnish the then Holders of outstanding Registrable Securities with not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice prior
to the proposed date of filing of such registration statement. Such notice to the Holders shall continue to be given for each registration
statement filed by the Company until such time as all of the Registrable Securities have been sold by the Holder. The holders of the
Registrable Securities shall exercise the “piggy-back” rights provided for herein by giving written notice within ten (10) days
of the receipt of the Company’s notice of its intention to file a registration statement. Except as otherwise provided in this
Purchase Warrant, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Holder may request registration under this Section 4.2.2; provided,
however, that such registration rights shall terminate on the fifth anniversary of the Commencement Date.
4.3
General Terms.
4.3.1
Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Holders of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to any registration
statement hereunder and each person, if any, who controls such Holders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), against all loss, claim,
damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act
or otherwise, arising from such registration statement but only to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions pursuant
to which the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters contained in Section 5.1 of the Underwriting Agreement between the
Underwriters and the Company, dated as of [___________], 2024. The Holders of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such
registration statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, against all loss,
claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise,
arising from information furnished by or on behalf of such Holders, or their successors or assigns, in writing, for specific inclusion
in such registration statement to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions contained in Section 5.2 of the Underwriting
Agreement pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to indemnify the Company.
4.3.2
Exercise of Purchase Warrants. Nothing contained in this Purchase Warrant shall be construed as requiring the Holders to exercise
their Purchase Warrants prior to or after the initial filing of any registration statement or the effectiveness thereof.
4.3.3
Documents Delivered to Holders. The Company shall furnish to each Holder participating in any of the foregoing offerings and to
each underwriter of any such offering, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to such Holder or underwriter, of: (i) an opinion
of counsel to the Company, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten
public offering, an opinion dated the date of the closing under any underwriting agreement related thereto), and (ii) a “cold
comfort” letter dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public
offering, a letter dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement) signed by the independent registered public accounting
firm which has issued a report on the Company’s financial statements included in such registration statement, in each case covering
substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of
such accountants’ letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered
in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of
securities. The Company shall also deliver promptly to each Holder participating in the offering requesting the correspondence and memoranda
described below and to the managing underwriter, if any, copies of all correspondence between the Commission and the Company, its counsel
or auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff with respect to the registration statement and
permit each Holder and underwriter to do such investigation, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information contained in
or omitted from the registration statement as it deems reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities laws or rules of
FINRA. Such investigation shall include access to books, records and properties and opportunities to discuss the business of the Company
with its officers and independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at such reasonable times as any such Holder shall reasonably
request.
4.3.4
Underwriting Agreement. The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with the managing underwriter(s), if any, selected
by any Holders whose Registrable Securities are being registered pursuant to this Section 4, which managing underwriter shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Such agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, each Holder
and such managing underwriters, and shall contain such representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and such other terms
as are customarily contained in agreements of that type used by the managing underwriter. The Holders shall be parties to any underwriting
agreement relating to an underwritten sale of their Registrable Securities and may, at their option, require that any or all the representations,
warranties and covenants of the Company to or for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such
Holders. Such Holders shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters
except as they may relate to such Holders, their Shares and their intended methods of distribution.
4.3.5
Documents to be Delivered by Holders. Each of the Holders participating in any of the foregoing offerings shall furnish to the
Company a completed and executed questionnaire provided by the Company requesting information customarily sought of selling security
holders.
4.3.6
Damages. Should the registration or the effectiveness thereof required by Sections 4.1 and 4.2 hereof be delayed by the Company
or the Company otherwise fails to comply with such provisions, the Holders shall, in addition to any other legal or other relief available
to the Holders, be entitled to obtain specific performance or other equitable (including injunctive) relief against the threatened breach
of such provisions or the continuation of any such breach, without the necessity of proving actual damages and without the necessity
of posting bond or other security.
4.4
Termination of Registration Rights. The registration rights afforded to the Holders under this Section 4 shall terminate
on the earliest date when all Registrable Securities of such Holder either: (i) have been publicly sold by such Holder pursuant
to a Registration Statement, (ii) have been covered by an effective Registration Statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (or
successor form), which may be kept effective as an evergreen Registration Statement, or (iii) may be sold by the Holder within a
90 day period without registration pursuant to Rule 144 or consistent with applicable SEC interpretive guidance (including CD&I
no. 201.04 (April 2, 2007) or similar interpretive guidance).
5.
New Purchase Warrants to be Issued.
5.1
Partial Exercise or Transfer. Subject to the restrictions in Section 3 hereof, this Purchase Warrant may be exercised or
assigned in whole or in part. In the event of the exercise or assignment hereof in part only, upon surrender of this Purchase Warrant
for cancellation, together with the duly executed exercise or assignment form and funds sufficient to pay any Exercise Price and/or transfer
tax if exercised pursuant to Section 2.1 hereto, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder without charge a new Purchase
Warrant of like tenor to this Purchase Warrant in the name of the Holder evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the number of
Shares purchasable hereunder as to which this Purchase Warrant has not been exercised or assigned.
5.2
Lost Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Purchase Warrant and of reasonably satisfactory indemnification or the posting of a bond, the Company shall execute and deliver
a new Purchase Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Purchase Warrant executed and delivered as a result of such loss, theft,
mutilation or destruction shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation on the part of the Company.
6.
Adjustments.
6.1
Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares underlying the Purchase Warrant
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:
6.1.1
Share Dividends; Split Ups. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 below, the number of
outstanding Shares is increased by a stock dividend payable in Shares or by a split up of Shares or other similar event, then, on the
effective day thereof, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding Shares,
and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased.
6.1.2
Aggregation of Shares. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 below, the number of outstanding
Shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date
thereof, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding Shares, and the
Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.
6.1.3
Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding
Shares other than a change covered by Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such Shares, or in the
case of any share reconstruction or amalgamation or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation
or share reconstruction or amalgamation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification
or reorganization of the outstanding Shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property
of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Holder of this Purchase
Warrant shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of the right of exercise of this Purchase Warrant) to receive upon the
exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares
of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, share reconstruction
or amalgamation, or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, by a Holder of the number of Shares of
the Company obtainable upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results
in a change in Shares covered by Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 6.1.1, 6.1.2 and
this Section 6.1.3. The provisions of this Section 6.1.3 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations,
share reconstructions or amalgamations, or consolidations, sales or other transfers.
6.1.4
Changes in Form of Purchase Warrant. This form of Purchase Warrant need not be changed because of any change pursuant to
this Section 6.1, and Purchase Warrants issued after such change may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of Shares
as are stated in the Purchase Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. The acceptance by any Holder of the issuance of new
Purchase Warrants reflecting a required or permissive change shall not be deemed to waive any rights to an adjustment occurring after
the Commencement Date or the computation thereof.
6.2
Substitute Purchase Warrant. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or share reconstruction or amalgamation of the
Company with or into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation which does not result in
any reclassification or change of the outstanding Shares), the corporation formed by such consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation
shall execute and deliver to the Holder a supplemental Purchase Warrant providing that the holder of each Purchase Warrant then outstanding
or to be outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the stated expiration of such Purchase Warrant) to receive, upon exercise
of such Purchase Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation
or share reconstruction or amalgamation, by a holder of the number of Shares for which such Purchase Warrant might have been exercised
immediately prior to such consolidation, share reconstruction or amalgamation, sale or transfer. Such supplemental Purchase Warrant shall
provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6. The above provision of this
Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or share reconstructions or amalgamations.
6.3
Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of Shares
upon the exercise of the Purchase Warrant, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of any fractional interests, it
being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up or down, as the case may
be, to the nearest whole number of Shares or other securities, properties or rights.
7.
Reservation and Listing. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Shares, solely for the
purpose of issuance upon exercise of the Purchase Warrants, such number of Shares or other securities, properties or rights as shall
be issuable upon the exercise thereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the Purchase Warrants and payment of the
Exercise Price therefor, in accordance with the terms hereby, all Shares and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly
and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any stockholder. The Company further covenants
and agrees that upon exercise of the Purchase Warrants and payment of the exercise price therefor, all Shares and other securities issuable
upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any stockholder.
As long as the Purchase Warrants shall be outstanding, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Warrants to be listed (subject to official notice of issuance) on all national securities exchanges
(or, if applicable, on the OTC Bulletin Board or any successor trading market) on which the Shares issued to the public in the Offering
may then be listed and/or quoted.
8.
Certain Notice Requirements.
8.1
Holder’s Right to Receive Notice. Nothing herein shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders the right to vote or
consent or to receive notice as a stockholder for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as
a stockholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of the Purchase Warrants and their exercise, any of the
events described in Section 8.2 shall occur, then, in one or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice of such
event at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination
of the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution, conversion or exchange of securities or subscription rights, or entitled
to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of the
closing of the transfer books, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall deliver to each Holder a copy of
each notice given to the other stockholders of the Company at the same time and in the same manner that such notice is given to the stockholders.
8.2
Events Requiring Notice. The Company shall be required to give the notice described in this Section 8 upon one or more of
the following events: (i) if the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive
a dividend or distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise than out of retained
earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of the Company; (ii) the Company
shall offer to all the holders of its Shares any additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right or warrant to subscribe therefor; or (iii) a dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation) or a
sale of all or substantially all of its property, assets and business shall be proposed.
8.3
Notice of Change in Exercise Price. The Company shall, promptly after an event requiring a change in the Exercise Price pursuant
to Section 6 hereof, send notice to the Holders of such event and change (“Price Notice”). The Price Notice shall
describe the event causing the change and the method of calculating same and shall be certified as being true and accurate by the Company’s
Chief Financial Officer.
8.4
Transmittal of Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications under this Purchase Warrant shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been duly made when hand delivered or mailed by express mail or private courier service: (i) if to the

such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. Any process or summons to be served upon the Company
may be served by transmitting a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to
it at the address set forth in Section 8 hereof. Such mailing shall be deemed personal service and shall be legal and binding upon

be entitled to recover from the other party(ies) all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses relating to such action or
proceeding and/or incurred in connection with the preparation therefor. The Company (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, on behalf of its stockholders and affiliates) and the Holder hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby.
9.6
Waiver, etc. The failure of the Company or the Holder to at any time enforce any of the provisions of this Purchase Warrant
shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor to in any way affect the validity of this Purchase Warrant

EF
Hutton LLC
as
Representative of the Underwriters
590
Madison Avenue, 39th Floor
New
York, New York 10022
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
The
undersigned understands that EF Hutton LLC (the “Representative”) proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement
(the “Underwriting Agreement”) with HWH International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) of shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001
per share (the “Common Stock”), or pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock in lieu thereof (the “Pre-Funded
Warrants,” and collectively with the Common Stock, the “Securities”).
To
induce the Representative to continue its efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without
the prior written consent of the Representative, the undersigned will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending
180 days after the date of the final prospectus (the “Prospectus”) relating to the Public Offering (the “Lock-Up
Period”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly,
any Securities or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Securities, whether now owned or hereafter acquired
by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (collectively, the “Lock-Up
Securities”); (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the
economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above
is to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise; (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect
to the registration of any Lock-Up Securities; or (4) publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition,
or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement relating to any Lock-Up Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of the Representative
in connection with (a) transactions relating to Lock-Up Securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of
the Public Offering; provided that no filing under Section 13 or Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or other public announcement shall be required or shall be voluntarily
made during the Lock-Up Period in connection with subsequent sales of Lock-Up Securities acquired in such open market transactions; (b) transfers
of Lock-Up Securities as a bona fide gift, by will or intestacy or to a family member or trust for the benefit of a
family member (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, “family member” means any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption,
not more remote than first cousin); (c) transfers of Lock-Up Securities to a charity or educational institution; or (d) if
the undersigned, directly or indirectly, controls a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, any
transfers of Lock-Up Securities to any shareholder, partner or member of, or owner of similar equity interests in, the undersigned, as
the case may be; provided that in the case of any transfer pursuant to the foregoing clauses (b), (c) or (d), (i) it
shall be a condition to any such transfer that (i) the transferee/donee agrees to be bound by the terms of this lock-up agreement
(including, without limitation, the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence) to the same extent as if the transferee/donee were
a party hereto; (ii) each party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall not be required by law (including without limitation
the disclosure requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Exchange Act)
to make, and shall agree to not voluntarily make, any filing or public announcement of the transfer or disposition prior to the expiration
of the Lock-Up Period; and (iii) the undersigned notifies the Representative at least two (2) business days prior to the proposed
transfer or disposition.
In
addition, the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (i) the exercise or vesting of stock options or other equity awards granted
pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans; provided that it shall apply to any of the undersigned’s Common Stock issued
upon such exercise, (ii) the conversion or exercise of convertible debt or warrants; provided that it shall apply to any of the
undersigned’s Common Stock issued upon such exercise, or (iii) the establishment of any new plan (a “Plan”)
that satisfies all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act; provided that no sales of the undersigned’s
Securities shall be made pursuant to such new Plan prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (as such may have been extended pursuant
to the provisions hereof), and such a Plan may only be established if no public announcement of the establishment or existence thereof
and no filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other regulatory authority in respect thereof or transactions thereunder
or contemplated thereby, by the undersigned, the Company or any other person, shall be required, and no such announcement or filing is
made voluntarily, by the undersigned, the Company or any other person, prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (as such may have
been extended pursuant to the provisions hereof).
The
undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar
against the transfer of the undersigned’s securities subject to this this lock-up agreement except in compliance with this this
lock-up agreement.
If
the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (i) the undersigned agrees that the foregoing restrictions shall be equally

[FORM OF PRE-FUNDED WARRANT]
HWH INTERNATIONAL INC.
PRE-FUNDED
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON SHARES
Warrant No.: ________
Number of Common Shares: _____________
Date of Issuance: [___], 2024 (“Issuance
Date”)
HWH International Inc. a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, [HOLDER], the registered holder hereof or its permitted
assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise
Price (as defined below) then in effect, at any time or times on or after the date hereof until this Warrant is exercised in full ______________
(_____________) fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Shares”)
subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Warrant Shares”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms
in this Warrant to Purchase Common Shares (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Shares issued in exchange, transfer or replacement
hereof, this “Warrant”), shall have the meanings set forth in Section 18. This Warrant is one of the Pre-Funded Warrants
(the “Warrants”) issued pursuant to Section [*] of that certain Underwriting Agreement dated as of [●], 2024
(the “Effective Date”), by and among the Company and EF Hutton LLC, the underwriter (the “Underwriter”)
in the offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”). This Warrant shall initially be issued and maintained in the form of
a security held in book-entry form and the Depository Trust Company or its nominee (“DTC”) shall initially be the sole
registered holder of this Warrant. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the definitions ascribed to such
terms in the Underwriting Agreement.
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a) Mechanics of Exercise.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may
be exercised by the Holder at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice,
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise
this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant
Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately
available funds or (B) by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section
1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery
of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original
Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the first
(1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic
mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Transfer Agent. On or before the earlier
of (i) the second (2nd) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period, in each
case, following the date on which the Holder delivers the Exercise Notice to the Company, so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate
Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) on or prior to the Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received
the Exercise Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”) (provided that if the Aggregate Exercise Price has not been delivered
by such date, the Share Delivery Date shall be one (1) Trading Day after the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise)
is delivered), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program
and (A) the Warrant Shares are subject to an effective registration statement in favor of the Holder or (B) if exercised via Cashless
Exercise, at a time when Rule 144 would be available for resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Warrant
Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC
through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities
Transfer Program or (A) the Warrant Shares are not subject to an effective registration statement in favor of the Holder and (B) if exercised
via Cashless Exercise, at a time when Rule 144 would not be available for resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, deliver to the Holder
book entry statements evidencing the Warrant Shares 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. The Company shall be responsible
for all fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent and all fees and expenses with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares via DTC, if any.
Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, 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 such Warrant Shares are credited to the
Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the book entry statements evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. If
this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by
this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, and if this Warrant
is not held in global form through DTC (or any successor depositary), then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later
than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing
the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of
Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any
and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company’s
obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof,
the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation
or termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 1(a), a holder whose interest in this Warrant is a beneficial interest
in certificate(s) representing this Warrant held in book-entry form through DTC (or another established clearing corporation performing
similar functions), shall effect exercises made pursuant to this Section 1(a) by delivering to DTC (or such other clearing corporation,
as applicable) the appropriate instruction form for exercise, complying with the procedures to effect exercise that are required by DTC
(or such other clearing corporation, as applicable).
(b) Exercise Price. The
aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except for a nominal exercise price of $0.00001 per Warrant Share, was pre-funded to the Company
on or prior to the Issuance Date and, consequently, no additional consideration (other than the nominal exercise price of $0.00001 per
Warrant Share) shall be required to be paid by the Holder to any Person to effect any exercise of this Warrant. The Holder shall not be
entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-paid aggregate exercise price under any circumstance or for any reason
whatsoever, including in the event this Warrant shall not have been exercised. The remaining unpaid exercise price per Ordinary Share
under this Warrant shall be $0.00001, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
(c) Company’s Failure
to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company shall fail to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder on or prior to the Share
Delivery Date, Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise notice delivered by the Holder 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, Common Shares
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, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder’s request, (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 Common
Shares 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
Common Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example,
if the Holder purchases Common Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise
of Common Shares 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 evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit the 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 Common Shares upon the exercise of
this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(d) Cashless Exercise.
While the Pre-Funded Warrants are outstanding, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Registration Statement covering the issuance of the Warrant
Shares is not available for the issuance of such Warrant Shares, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole
or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the
Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Common Shares determined according
to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)
B
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A= |
the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised. |
B= |
as applicable: (i) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(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) the bid price of the Common Shares on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Exercise Notice, if such Exercise Notice 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 1(a) hereof or (iii) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day; |
C= |
the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise. |
If Common Shares are issued pursuant to this Section
1(d), the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired
by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally
issued pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 1(d).
(e) Disputes. In the case
of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly
issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 12.
(f) Beneficial Ownership Limitations
on Exercises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no exercise of any portion of this Warrant shall be effected,
and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant
and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the
Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”)
of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common
Shares held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with
respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common Shares which would be issuable
upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution
Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without
limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants
(each as defined in the Underwriting Agreement)) and Pre-Funded Warrants beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party
subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(f). For purposes of this Section
1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“1934 Act”). For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares the Holder may acquire
upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares
as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form
8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as the case may be, (y) a more
recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number
of Common Shares outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice
from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding Common Shares is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the
Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of Common Shares then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice
would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(f), to exceed the Maximum Percentage,
the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number
of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the
Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the
written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail
to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after
giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and any other Attribution
Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of Common Shares to
the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in
the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding Common Shares (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934
Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership
exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio,
and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance
of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the
Excess Shares. For purposes of clarity, the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage
shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1)
of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall
have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability.
The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of
this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent
with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable
to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor
holder of this Warrant.
(g) Insufficient Authorized
Shares. If at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved
Common Shares to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at least a number of Common Shares equal
to 100% of the number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of this Warrant then outstanding
without regard to any limitation on exercise included herein (the “Required Reserve Amount” and the failure to have
such sufficient number of authorized and unreserved Common Shares, an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company
shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized Common Shares to an amount sufficient to allow
the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60)
days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an
increase in the number of authorized Common Shares. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each shareholder with a
proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its shareholders’ approval of such increase in authorized Common Shares
and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the shareholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the approval of holders of a majority of the shares voting
at a general meeting to approve the increase in the number of authorized Common Shares, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining
such approval. In the event that upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares to deliver
in satisfaction of such exercise, then unless the Holder elects to void such attempted exercise, the Holder may require the Company to
pay to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days of the applicable exercise, cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the quotient
determined by dividing (x) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company is unable to deliver pursuant to this Section 1(g), by (y) the
total number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of
this Warrant) and (ii) the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Series A Warrants); provided, that (x) references to “the day
immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction” in the definition of “Black Scholes
Value” shall instead refer to “the date the Holder exercises this Warrant and the Company cannot deliver the required number
of Warrant Shares because of an Authorized Share Failure” and (y) clause (iii) of the definition of “Black Scholes Value”
shall instead refer to “the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the highest Weighted Average Price during
the period beginning on the date of the applicable date of exercise and the date that the Company makes the applicable cash payment.”
2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE
AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. If the Company at any time on or after the Effective Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately
increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Effective Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or
more classes of its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under
this Section 2 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
3. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION
OF ASSETS. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets)
to holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock
or other securities, property, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets 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 Common Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of
this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum
Percentage) 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 Common Shares 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 and the other Attribution
Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (and
shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Common Shares as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to such
extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right
thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the
Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution
held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
4. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL
TRANSACTIONS.
(a) Purchase Rights. If
at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities
or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Shares (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 Common Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations
or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) 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 Common Shares 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 and the other Attribution
Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and
shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Common Shares as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such
extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its
right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times
the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent
Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
(b) Fundamental Transactions.
The Company shall not enter into a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the
Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders, including agreements , if so requested by the Holder, to deliver to each holder of the
Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form
and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the Common Shares reflected
by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the
Common Shares 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 reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders, 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 Common Shares pursuant to
such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the 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 occurrence or
consummation of such Fundamental Transaction). Any security issuable or potentially issuable to the Holder pursuant to the terms of this
Warrant on the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction that was within the Company’s control to enter into or to avoid shall be
registered and freely tradable by the Holder without any restriction or limitation or the requirement to be subject to any holding period
pursuant to any applicable securities laws. No later than (i) thirty (30) days prior to the occurrence
or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction or (ii) if later, the first Trading Day following the date the Company first becomes aware
of the occurrence or potential occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile
or electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holder. Upon the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction that
was within the Company’s control to enter into or to avoid, it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation
of any such Fundamental Transaction that, the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall succeed
to, and the Company shall cause any Successor Entity or Successor Entities to jointly and severally succeed to, and be added to the term
“Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of
this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities,
jointly and severally), and the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, may exercise every right
and power of the Company prior thereto and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant with the
same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company in
this Warrant, and, solely at the request of the Holder, if the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities is a publicly traded corporation
whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, shall deliver (in addition to and without limiting any right
under this Warrant) to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities evidenced
by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares
of capital stock of the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities (the “Successor Capital Stock”) equivalent to the
Common Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant)
prior to such Fundamental Transaction (such corresponding number of shares of Successor Capital Stock to be delivered to the Holder shall
be equal to the greater of (A) the quotient of (i) the aggregate dollar value of all consideration (including cash consideration and any
consideration other than cash (“Non-Cash Consideration”), in such Fundamental Transaction, as such values are set forth
in any definitive agreement for the Fundamental Transaction that has been executed at the time of the first public announcement of the
Fundamental Transaction or, if no such value is determinable from such definitive agreement, as determined in accordance with Section
12 with the term “Non-Cash Consideration” being substituted for the term “Exercise Price”) that the Holder would
have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date
for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction, had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction
or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any
limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) (the “Aggregate Consideration”) divided by (ii) the per share Closing
Sale Price of such Successor Capital Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation or occurrence of the Fundamental Transaction
and (B) the product of (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Aggregate Consideration, by (y) the Closing Sale Price of the Common
Shares on the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation or occurrence of the Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the highest exchange
ratio pursuant to which any shareholder of the Company may exchange Common Shares for Successor Capital Stock) (provided, however,
to the extent that the Holder’s right to receive any such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor
Entity would result in the Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, if applicable, then the Holder shall
not be entitled to receive such shares to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of publicly traded
common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity as a result of such consideration to such extent) and the portion of such shares
shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time or times, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and its other Attribution
Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be delivered such shares to the extent as if there had
been no such limitation), and such security shall be satisfactory to the Holder, and with an identical exercise price to the Exercise
Price hereunder (such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting
after the consummation or occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction the economic value of this Warrant that was in effect immediately
prior to the consummation or occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, as elected by the Holder solely at its option). Upon occurrence
or consummation of the Fundamental Transaction that was within the Company’s control to enter
into or to avoid, and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction that,
the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise
of this Warrant at any time after the occurrence or consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, as elected by the Holder solely at its
option, Common Shares, Successor Capital Stock or, in lieu of the Common Shares or Successor Capital Stock (or other securities, cash,
assets or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction), such shares of stock, securities,
cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights), which for purposes of clarification
may continue to be Common Shares, if any, that the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction
or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction, had this Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting
in such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the
provisions of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the occurrence or consummation
of any Fundamental Transaction that was within the Company’s control to enter into or to avoid,
pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive securities, cash, assets or other property with respect to or in exchange
for Common Shares (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that, and any applicable
Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall ensure that, and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of such
Corporate Event that, the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the occurrence
or consummation of the Corporate Event, Common Shares or Successor Capital Stock or, if so elected by the Holder, in lieu of the Common
Shares (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Corporate Event
(but not in lieu of such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a), which shall continue to be receivable on the Common Shares or
on the such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property otherwise receivable with respect to or in exchange for Common
Shares), such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription
rights and any Common Shares) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate
Event or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Corporate Event, had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to such Corporate Event or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Corporate
Event (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. The provisions of this Section 4(b) shall apply similarly and equally to successive
Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events.
5. NON-CIRCUMVENTION. The
Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or Bylaws, or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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, and will at all
times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the
Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any Common Shares receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant,
and (iii) shall, so long as any of the Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized
and unissued Common Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, 100% of the number of Common Shares as shall
from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).
6. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED
A SHAREHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of
this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose,
nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder
of this Warrant, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action
(whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice
of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such
Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed
as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder
of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 6, the
Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the shareholders of the Company generally,
contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the shareholders.

(a) Transfer of Warrant.
If this Warrant is to be transferred, and if this Warrant is not held in global form through DTC (or any successor depositary), the Holder

or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon

representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant
will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender;
provided, however, that no Warrants for fractional Warrant Shares shall be given.
(d) Issuance of New Warrants.
Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, and if the Warrant will not be held in
global form through DTC (or any successor depositary), such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent,

Holder. It is expressly understood and agreed that the time of exercise specified by the Holder in each Exercise Notice shall be definitive
and may not be disputed or challenged by the Company.
9. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended or waived and the Company may take any action herein
prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of
the Holder.
10. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION;
JURY TRIAL. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction,
validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would
cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Company 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 brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding
is improper. The Company 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 to the Company at the address set forth in Section 7.03 of the Underwriting Agreement 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 manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate
to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the
Company’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment
or other court ruling in favor of the Holder. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST,
A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY.
11. CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS.
This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Underwriter and shall not be construed against any Person as
the drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation
of, this Warrant.
12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company
shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile or electronic mail within two (2) Business Days of receipt
of the Exercise Notice giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree
upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination
or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile or
electronic mail (a) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company
and approved by the Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company’s independent, outside
accountant. The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations
or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives the
disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case
may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.
13. REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS,
BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available
under this Warrant, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein
shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant.
The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy
at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach,
the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without
the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
14. TRANSFER. This Warrant
and the Warrant Shares may be offered for sale, sold, transferred, pledged or assigned without the consent of the Company.
15. SEVERABILITY. If any
provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that
it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining
provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions
of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question
does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the
benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited,
invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited,
invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
16. DISCLOSURE. Upon receipt
or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, unless the Company has in good faith determined
that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries
(as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), the Company shall contemporaneously with any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such
material, nonpublic information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains
material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Holder contemporaneously
with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, the Holder shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating
to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.
17. WARRANT AGENCY AGREEMENT.
If this Warrant is held in global form through DTC (or any successor depositary), this Warrant is issued subject to the Warrant Agency
Agreement. To the extent any provision of this Warrant conflicts with the express provisions of the Warrant Agency Agreement, the provisions

HWH

Montgomery Lane, Suite 210
Bethesda,
MD 20814
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We
have acted as counsel to HWH International Inc., Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation
of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 and the preliminary prospectus forming a part of the registration statement
(the “Prospectus”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), initially filed by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 10, 2024, as thereafter amended or supplemented
(the “Registration Statement”). The Prospectus relates to the registration of the proposed (i) offering of up to (A) 5,000,000
shares of common stock (the “Shares”), par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and/or
5,000,000 pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), each having the right to purchase one share of Common Stock (the
“Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”), in lieu of Shares. The proposed maximum aggregate offering price of the Shares or Pre-Funded
Warrants in lieu thereof, is $3,500,000. For each Pre-Funded Warrant the Company sells, if applicable, the number of Shares offered will
be reduced on a one-for-one basis. The Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants, are collectively referred to as the “Securities.”
In
connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of (i) the
Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as currently in effect, (ii) the Company’s Bylaws as currently
in effect, (iii) the Registration Statement and related Prospectus, (iv) the form of Underwriting Agreement, (v) the form of Pre-Funded
Warrant, (vi) the form of Underwriter Warrant and (vii) such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such
certificates or comparable documents of public officials or of officers and representatives of the Company, as we have deemed relevant
and necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth.
In
such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed
or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to certain questions of fact material to this
opinion, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company and have not sought
to independently verify such facts.
Based
on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion
that:
|
1. |
The
Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and, when issued and sold in accordance
with the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. |
|
|
|
|
2. |
The
Pre-Funded Warrants have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and, when issued and sold
in accordance with the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Pre-Funded Warrants will constitute valid and binding obligations
of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms except as such enforceability may be limited by (i)
any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally including,
without limitation, fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance laws; (ii) public policy considerations, statutes or court decisions
that may limit rights to obtain exculpation, indemnification or contribution (including, without limitation, indemnification regarding
violations of the securities laws and indemnification for losses resulting from a judgment for the payment of any amount other than
in United States dollars); and (iii) general principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness,
good faith and fair dealing) and the availability of equitable remedies (including, without limitation, specific performance and
equitable relief), regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. |
|
|
|
|
3. |
The
Pre-Funded Warrant Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and, assuming a
sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock are available for issuance when the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised,
the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, when and if issued upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded
Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. |
|
4. |
The
Underwriter Warrant has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and, when issued and sold
in accordance with the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting
Agreement, the Underwriter Warrant will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company
in accordance with their terms except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally including, without limitation, fraudulent transfer or fraudulent
conveyance laws; (ii) public policy considerations, statutes or court decisions that may limit rights to obtain exculpation, indemnification
or contribution (including, without limitation, indemnification regarding violations of the securities laws and indemnification for
losses resulting from a judgment for the payment of any amount other than in United States dollars); and (iii) general principles
of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing) and the availability
of equitable remedies (including, without limitation, specific performance and equitable relief), regardless of whether considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law. |
|
|
|
|
5. |
The
Underwriter Warrant Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and, assuming a
sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock are available for issuance when the Underwriter Warrant is exercised,
the Underwriter Warrant Shares, when and if issued upon exercise of the Underwriter Warrants in accordance with the terms of the
Underwriter Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. |
The
opinion expressed herein is limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law and, with respect to the enforceability of the Pre-Funded
Warrants and the Underwriter Warrants, the laws of the State of New York, and we express no opinion as to the effect on the matters covered
by this letter of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
We
assume no obligation to update or supplement any of our opinions to reflect any changes of law or fact that may occur. We hereby consent
to the filing of this letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal
