Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

The Company further agreed not to accelerate the vesting of any option or warrant or the lapse of any repurchase right prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

 

Pursuant to Section 3(o) of the Agreement, the Company has agreed, among other things, not to, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, for a period of twelve months from the commencement of the Company’s first day of trading, directly or indirectly in any “at-the-market” or continuous equity transaction, offer to sell, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock of the Company.

Pursuant to Section 3(r) of the Agreement, the Company has agreed, among other things, that the Representative shall be entitled to receive from the Company a cash placement fee equal to six percent (6.0%) of the aggregate purchase price paid by each purchaser of securities of the Company, with respect to any public or private offering or other financing or capital-raising transaction of any kind (the “Tail Financing”) to the extent that such financing or capital is provided to the Company by investors whom the Representative has introduced, directly or indirectly by way of at least one meeting in person or telephonically, to the Company during the Engagement Period (as defined in the Agreement), if such Tail Financing is consummated at any time during the Engagement Period or within twelve (12) months following the expiration of the Engagement Period or termination of that certain engagement letter agreement by and between the Company and the Representative, dated as of June 27, 2023.
