EXHIBIT 10.1

February 15, 2023

Holder of $0.25 (Twenty-Five Cent) Commission Warrants That Expire prior to July 15, 2023

Dear Holder:

Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to offer to you the opportunity to exchange all of the Common Stock purchase warrants of the Company issued as Commission Warrants (the “Exchange Warrants”) currently held by you (the “Holder”) in shares of Common Stock. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Warrant Agreement, pursuant to the date of issuance, between the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto pursuant to which the Company issued the Exchange Warrants.

In consideration for exchanging in full all of the Holder’s Exchange Warrants (the “Warrant Exchange”), the Company hereby offers you in exchange 0.95% of Common Stock (“Exchange Shares”) at a 20% discount to the original exercise price of $0.25 (twenty-five cents) for each Warrant Share being exchanged (i.e., the Exchange Warrant exercise price will be $0.20 (twenty cents). For the sake of clarity and as an example, if a Holder owns 100,000 warrant shares with a current strike price of $0.25, accepting the Exchange offer would result in 95,000 common shares issue to Holder with an exercise price of $0.20 for a total exercise payment to the Company of $19,000.00 (Nineteen Thousand Dollars).

Within five Trading Days of the exercise date and payment received by the Company, the Company shall deliver the Holder’s Exchange Shares to the Holder’s account at the Company’s Stock Transfer Agent. The terms of the Warrant Exchange, including but not limited to the obligations to deliver the Exchange Shares, shall remain in effect as if the acceptance of this offer was a formal Notice of Exercise (including but not limited to any liquidated damages and compensation in the event of late delivery of the Exchange Shares).

The parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the holding period of the Exchange Shares under Rule 144 shall be tacked on to the holding period of the Exchange Warrant.

Expressly subject to the paragraph immediately following this paragraph below, Holder may accept this offer by signing this letter below, with such acceptance constituting Holder's exchange in full of the Exchange Warrant for Exchange Shares, on or before 8:00 a.m. (New York City time) on February 22, 2023.

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

Other than an Exempt Issuance (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), from the date hereof until 30 days following the date hereof, (i) the Company and each Subsidiary shall not issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock and (ii) the Company shall not enter into any agreement to amend, exchange or otherwise provide any incentive to exercise any of the warrants originally issued together with the Exchange Warrant or any other warrants of the Company that are outstanding on the date hereof.

Within four days of the closing date of this offering, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder, including this agreement as an exhibit thereto (“8-K Filing”). From and after the issuance of the 8-K Filing, the Company represents to the Holder that it shall not be in possession of any material, nonpublic information received from the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, that is not disclosed in the 8-K Filing. In addition, effective upon the filing of the 8-K Filing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, on the one hand, and the Holder or any of its affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate. The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, not to, provide the Holder with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the date hereof without the express prior written consent of the Holder. To the extent that the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, delivers any material, non-public information to the Holder without the Holder’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Holder shall not have any duty of confidentiality with respect to, or a duty not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Holder under this letter agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other holder of Common Stock purchase warrants of the Company (each, an “Other Holder”) under any other agreement related to the exercise of such warrants (“Other Warrant Exchange Agreement”), and the Holder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Holder or under any such Other Warrant Exchange Agreement. Nothing contained in this letter agreement, and no action taken by the Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holder and the Other Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holder and the Other Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement and the Company acknowledges that the Holder and the Other Holders are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement or any Other Warrant Exchange Agreement. The Company and the Holder confirm that the Holder has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this letter agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees from and after the date hereof until the three (3) month anniversary of the date hereof that none of the terms offered to any Other Holder with respect to any Other Warrant Exchange Agreement (or any amendment, modification or waiver thereof), is or will be more favorable to such Other Holder than those of the Holder and this letter agreement. If and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company enters into an Other Warrant Exchange Agreement, then (i) the Company shall provide notice thereof to the Holder promptly following the occurrence thereof and (ii) the terms and conditions of this letter agreement shall be, without any further action by the Holder or the Company, automatically amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Holder shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in such Other Warrant Exchange Agreement (including the issuance of additional Exchange Shares or the issuance of new Common Stock purchase warrants to the Other Holder), including, without limitation, the same price discount and the same issuance of new warrants as in the Other Warrant Exchange Agreement, provided that upon written notice to the Company at any time the Holder may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified term or condition, in which event the term or condition contained in this letter agreement shall apply to the Holder as it was in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply similarly and equally to each Other Warrant Exchange Agreement.

Except as expressly set forth herein, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants, and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this letter agreement. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Exchange Shares. This letter agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
