In addition, each Purchaser shall also receive a warrant (the Warrants), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 25% of the number of Subscribed Shares (such shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Warrant Shares and, collectively with the Subscribed Shares and the Warrants, the Securities). The Warrants will be exercisable for a 5-year period commencing at the Closing (as defined below) at which the Subscribed Shares are issued, at an exercise price of $1.35 per share.
2. The Offering. This subscription is submitted to you in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions described in this Subscription Agreement relating to the offering (the Offering) by the Company of Subscribed Shares and related Warrants. The Securities are being sold to you in the Offering in a closing which may be scheduled at any time after the execution of this Subscription Agreement (the Closing). Additional Securities may have been and may continue to be offered and sold from time to time, until the date on which the Offering is concluded, through additional closings conducted by the Company with respect to those additional Securities sold.
3. Payment. The Purchaser will immediately make a wire transfer payment to the Company pursuant to the instructions included herein in the full amount of the purchase price of the Securities being subscribed for hereby. Wire transfer instructions are set forth on the Subscription Instructions included on the last page hereof under the heading To subscribe for Securities in the private offering of CytoDyn Inc. Together with a wire transfer for the full purchase price, the Purchaser is delivering a completed and executed omnibus Signature Page to this Subscription Agreement, a completed Purchaser Questionnaire and Certification, and an initialed Accredited Investor Certification.
4. Acceptance of Subscription. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to accept or reject this or any other subscription for Securities, in whole or in part, notwithstanding prior receipt by the Purchaser of notice of acceptance of this subscription. The Company shall have no obligation hereunder until the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser an executed copy of this Subscription Agreement. If this subscription is rejected in whole or the Offering of Securities is terminated,
all funds received from the Purchaser will be returned without interest or offset, and this Subscription Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force or effect. If this subscription is rejected in part, the funds for the rejected portion of this subscription will be returned without interest or offset, and this Subscription Agreement will continue in full force and effect to the extent this subscription was accepted.
5. Registration Rights.
(a) If at any time, the Company proposes to register the offer and sale of shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), solely for the benefit of selling stockholders on any form of registration statement and not for any primary offering of the securities of the Company, which registration statement had not been filed prior to the date hereof (a Piggyback Registration Statement), the Company shall each such time give the Purchaser prior written notice of the filing of such Piggyback Registration Statement. Upon the written request of the Purchaser received not less than five (5) business days prior to the filing of such Piggyback Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Securities Act the resale of any Subscribed Shares and/or Warrant Shares issued or issuable to the Purchaser that the Purchaser has requested to be registered at such time, subject to the Purchasers provision of an executed Selling Stockholder Notice and Questionnaire, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, as well as such other information about the Purchaser as may reasonably be requested to facilitate such registration.
(b) If a Piggyback Registration Statement contemplates an underwritten public offering, the Company shall so advise the Purchaser as part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 5(a) above. The Purchaser agrees in each such instance, as a condition to registering the offer and sale of the Purchasers Subscribed Shares and/or Warrant Shares by means of such registration statement, to be party to and to execute an underwriting agreement in customary form.
6. Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction and, accordingly, that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered or unless, in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, a sale or transfer may be made without registration under United States securities laws and the applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction The Purchaser further agrees that legends may be placed on the Securities restricting the transfer thereof, and that appropriate notations may be made in the Companys stock books and stop transfer instructions placed with the transfer agent of the Securities, each in a manner generally consistent with the foregoing.
(b) The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company is currently under no obligation to register the Securities, and is not currently contemplating filing a Piggyback Registration Statement which would give rise to the rights detailed in Section 5 above.
2
(c) The Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (Rule 144) which, in substance, permit limited public resale of restricted securities acquired by non-affiliates of the issuer thereof, directly or indirectly, from the issuer (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, if applicable, including, among other things, the availability of certain public information about the Company and the resale occurring not less than six (6) months after the party has purchased and paid for the securities to be sold.
(d) The Purchaser further understands that at the time the Purchaser wishes to sell the Shares or the Securities to be issued in connection therewith or upon conversion thereof there may be no public market upon which to make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists, the Company may not have filed all reports and other materials required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other than Form 8-K reports, during the preceding 12 months, and that, in such event, because the Company is a former shell company as contemplated under paragraph (i) of Rule 144, Rule 144 will not be available to the Purchaser.
(e) The Purchaser further understands that, because the Company is a former shell company as contemplated under paragraph (i) of Rule 144, regardless of the amount of time that the Purchaser holds the Securities, sales of the Securities may only be made under Rule 144 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including that the Company has filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), during the 12 months preceding the sale, all quarterly and annual reports required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and that, accordingly, any restrictive legends placed on the Securities cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale that is subject to an effective registration statement under, or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of, the Securities Act, and blanket removals of any such restrictive legends will not be possible.
(f) The Purchaser further understands that in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Absent a registration statement, or some registration exemption, the Purchaser may be forced to hold the Securities indefinitely.
7. Representations and Warranties.
The Purchaser hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants, and agrees as follows:

(cc) (For ERISA plans only) The fiduciary of the ERISA plan (the Plan) represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Companys investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest plan assets (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities.

1. Exercise and Payment; Exchange.
(a) This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time from and after the date hereof (the Commencement Date) through 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on (the Expiration Date), at which time this Warrant shall expire and become void, but if such date is a day on which federal or state chartered banking institutions located in the State of Washington are authorized to close, then on the next succeeding day which shall not

Exercise shall be by presentation and surrender to the Company, or at the office of any transfer agent designated by the Company (the Transfer Agent), of (i) this Warrant, (ii) the attached exercise form properly executed, and (iii) a certified or official bank check for the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the exercise form. If this Warrant is exercised in part only, the Company or the Transfer Agent shall, upon surrender of the Warrant, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant, the properly executed exercise form, and payment as aforesaid, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder.
(b) Conditions to Exercise or Exchange. The restrictions in Section 7 shall apply, to the extent applicable by their terms, to any exercise or exchange of this Warrant permitted by this Section 1.
2. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall, at all times until the expiration of this Warrant, reserve for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant the number of Warrant Shares which shall be required for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant.
3. Fractional Interests. The Company shall not issue any fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares upon the exercise or exchange of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share resulting from the exercise or exchange hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the current fair market value per share of Common Stock, determined as follows:
(a) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such an exchange, the current fair market value shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange on the last business day prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or if no such sale is made on such day, the mean of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange;
(b) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange, the current fair market value shall be the mean of the last bid and asked prices reported on the last business day prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant by the OTC Markets Group, Inc.; or
(c) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current fair market value shall be an amount, not less than book value, determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Company in good faith.

A-2
5. Adjustments in Number and Exercise Price of Warrant Shares.
5.1 The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised and the Exercise Price therefor shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) If the Company is recapitalized through the subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger or smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased or reduced, as of the record date for such recapitalization, in the same proportion as the increase or decrease in the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all of the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder immediately after the record date for such recapitalization shall equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date.
(b) If the Company declares a dividend on Common Stock payable in Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be increased as of the record date for determining which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares (and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all such securities convertible into Common Stock) of Common Stock as a result of such dividend, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder immediately after the record date for such dividend shall equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date.
(c) If the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock, other than as part of its dissolution or liquidation or the winding up of its affairs, any evidence of indebtedness or any of its assets (other than cash, Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock), the Company shall give written notice to the Holder of any such distribution at least fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed record date in order to permit the Holder to exercise this Warrant on or before the record date. There shall be no adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised, or in the Exercise Price, by virtue of any such distribution.
(d) If the Company offers rights or warrants to the holders of Common Stock which entitle them to subscribe to or purchase additional Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, the Company shall give written notice of any such proposed offering to the Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed record date in order to permit the Holder to exercise this Warrant on or before such record date. There shall be no adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised, or in the Exercise Price, by virtue of any such distribution.
(e) If the event, as a result of which an adjustment is made under paragraph (a) or (b) above, does not occur, then any adjustments in the Exercise Price or number of shares issuable that were made in accordance with such paragraph (a) or (b) shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price and number of shares as were in effect immediately prior to the record date for such event.
A-3
5.2 In the event of any reorganization or reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value or from no par value to par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) or in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company with another entity after which the Company is not the surviving entity, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant, upon subsequent exercise of this Warrant the Holder shall have the right to receive the same kind and number of shares of common stock and other securities, cash or other property as would have been distributed to the Holder upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, appropriately adjusted for any subsequent event described in this Section 5. The Holder shall pay upon such exercise the Exercise Price that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant. If any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger results in a cash distribution in excess of the then applicable Exercise Price, the Holder may, at the Holders option, exercise this Warrant without making payment of the Exercise Price, and in such case the Company shall, upon distribution to the Holder, consider the Exercise Price to have been paid in full, and in making settlement to the Holder, shall deduct an amount equal to the Exercise Price from the amount payable to the Holder. In the event of any such reorganization, merger or consolidation, the corporation formed by such consolidation or merger or the corporation which shall have acquired the assets of the Company shall execute and deliver a supplement hereto to the foregoing effect, which supplement shall also provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this Warrant.
5.3 If the Company shall, at any time before the expiration of this Warrant, dissolve, liquidate or wind up its affairs, the Holder shall have the right to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company that the Holder otherwise would have been entitled to receive, the same kind and amount of assets as would have been issued, distributed or paid to the Holder upon any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up with respect to such Common Stock receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date for determining those entitled to receive any such distribution. If any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up results in any cash distribution in excess of the Exercise Price provided by this Warrant, the Holder may, at the Holders option, exercise this Warrant without making payment of the Exercise Price and, in such case, the Company shall, upon distribution to the Holder, consider the Exercise Price to have been paid in full and, in making settlement to the Holder, shall deduct an amount equal to the Exercise Price from the amount payable to the Holder.
6. Notices to Holder. So long as this Warrant shall be outstanding (a) if the Company shall pay any dividends or make any distribution upon the Common Stock otherwise than in cash or (b) if the Company shall offer generally to the holders of Common Stock the right to subscribe to or purchase any shares of any class of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock or any similar rights or (c) if there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving entity, recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then in such event, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the
A-4
Holder, at least thirty (30) days prior to the relevant date described below (or such shorter period as is reasonably possible if thirty (30) days is not reasonably possible), a notice containing a description of the proposed action and stating the date or expected date on which a record of the Companys shareholders is to be taken for the purpose of any such dividend, distribution of rights, or such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease or transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date or expected date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such event.
7. Transfer, Exercise, Exchange, Assignment or Loss of Warrant, Warrant Shares or Other Securities.
7.1 This Warrant may be transferred, exercised, exchanged or assigned (transferred), in whole or in part, subject to the following restrictions. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares or any other securities (Other Securities) received upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to restrictions on transferability until registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), unless an exemption from registration is available.
