RECITALS
A. The Company currently requires funds to help finance its continued operations.
B. The Investors are willing to advance funds to the Company in exchange for the issuance to them of certain promissory notes evidencing the Company’s obligation to repay the Investors’ loans of the advanced funds, all as provided in this Agreement.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and the representations, warranties, and conditions set forth below, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Issuance of Notes and Warrants.
(a) The Notes. The Company has authorized the issuance and sale to the Investors of the Company’s 8.0% Unsecured Promissory Notes due 2021 in the original aggregate principal amount of up to $5,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”). The Promissory Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto and are herein referred to individually as a “Note” and collectively as the “Notes,” which terms shall also include any notes delivered in exchange or replacement therefor.
(b) The Warrants. Concurrently with the issuance of the Notes the Company will issue to each Investor a non-transferable warrant (each a “Warrant” and collectively the “Warrants”) to purchase up to that number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock as shall be equal to the aggregate original principal amount the Note purchased by such Investor divided by $5.00. Each Warrant will be issued in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit B hereto.
2. Closings. The Notes and Warrants (collectively, the “Securities”) shall be issuable in one or more closings as follows:
(a) Initial Closing. The first closing of the sale and purchase of the Securities (the “Initial Closing”) shall occur on such date, on or before March 30, 2018 (the “Initial Termination Date”), that the Company in its sole discretion chooses (the “Initial Closing Date”).

(b) Second Closing. If the Company issues and sells less than the Maximum Amount of Notes at the Initial Closing, then the Company may issue and sell in a subsequent closing (the “Second Closing”) held no later than April 15, 2018 (the “Second Termination Date”), additional Notes in an aggregate original principal amount up to the Maximum Amount, less the aggregate original principal amount of Notes issued in the Initial Closing. The issue and sale of the Notes to Investors in the Second Closing (“Subsequent Investors”) shall take place on such date, on or before the Second Termination Date as the Company in its sole discretion chooses (the “Second Closing Date”). Any Subsequent Investor who commits to purchase Notes in the Second Closing shall execute a counterpart signature page to this Agreement and shall thereafter be bound by this Agreement as an Investor.
3. Investor Deliveries at Closing. At or prior to each Closing, each Investor participating in such Closing will deliver to the Company:
(a) The purchase price for the Notes indicated on such Investor’s signature page hereto by wire transfer to the account designated by the Company or other delivery of immediately available funds.
(b) A completed and signed Investor Questionnaire (the “Investor Questionnaire”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

(c) The Company shall send the Notes and accompanying Warrants to the Investors at the addresses furnished to the Company for that purpose.
(d) Any Investor funds received by the Company prior to the Initial Closing Date or the Second Closing Date, as applicable, shall be held in trust by the Company for the benefit of the Investor until consummation of the applicable Closing; provided, however, that if the Initial Closing or Second Closing, as applicable, shall not have occurred on or before 5:00 PM ET on the Initial Termination Date or the Second Termination Date, respectively, then, unless the Investor directs otherwise, the Company shall promptly return such funds to the Investor and the obligations of the Company and such Investor under this Agreement shall terminate.

6. Representations and Warranties of Investors. Each Investor, for that Investor alone, represents and warrants to the Company upon the acquisition of a Note and Warrant as follows:
(a) He, she or it has answered the questions contained in the Investor Questionnaire and, as applicable, the Canadian Accredited Investor Certificate and the Form 45-106F9 - Form for Individual Accredited Investors (collectively, the “Canadian Exemption Certifications”), and made a part hereof to the best of his, her or its knowledge and the answers thereto are complete and accurate. The Investor understands and agrees that, although such answers will be kept strictly confidential, the Company may present such Investor Questionnaire and, if applicable, the Canadian Exemption Certifications to such parties as it deems advisable if called upon to establish the availability under applicable securities laws of an exemption from registration. The Investor agrees to indemnify the Company, its agents, officers, directors and shareholders, for any and all losses (including without limitation attorneys' fees and other costs of investigating, prosecuting, or defending any litigation claim) incurred by the Company as a result of its reliance on the representations and warranties of the Investor made in this Agreement or any answers contained in the Investor Questionnaire and, if applicable, the Canadian Exemption Certifications.
(b) If the Investor is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust, or employee benefit plan, it is authorized to make the investment contemplated herein, and the person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly authorized by such entity to do so.
(c) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Investor and constitutes the Investor’s legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(d) The Investor is acquiring the Securities as principal for the Investor’s own account for investment and not with a view to resale or distribution. The Investor understands that neither the Securities, nor the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or applicable securities laws by reason of specific exemptions from the registration provisions of the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws that depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Investor’s representations and warranties as expressed in this Agreement and in the Investor Questionnaire.
(e) The Company has advised the Investor, if the Investor is a resident of Canada, that the Company is relying on an exemption from the requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws to provide the Investor with a prospectus and that no prospectus has been filed by the Company with any securities commission in Canada in connection with the sale and issuance of the Securities, and as a consequence:
(i) the Investor is restricted from using most of the civil remedies available under applicable Canadian securities laws and certain protections, rights and remedies provided by applicable Canadian securities laws, including statutory rights of rescission or damages, will not be available to the Investor;
(ii) the Investor may not receive information that would otherwise be required to be provided to the Investor under the applicable Canadian securities laws; and
(iii) the Investor is relieved from certain obligations that would otherwise apply under the applicable Canadian securities laws.
5 |
(f) The Investor: (i) has been furnished, has carefully read, understands the terms and conditions of, and the information contained in this Agreement (including all exhibits and all amendments thereto and hereto) and (ii) has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Securities, the Company and its business.
(g) The Investor recognizes that (i) the purchase of the Securities involves a high degree of risk and has taken full cognizance of and understands such risks, (ii) that all information provided, if any, by the Company relating to its use of proceeds, financial forecasts, and other information which is not of an historical nature (“Forward-looking Information”), represents only the Company’s good faith assessment of such Forward-looking Information, and is based upon assumptions which the Company believes are reasonable, although no assurance exists that such Forward-looking Information is accurate or will be fulfilled, and (iii) that the Company has relied on the representations of the Investor as set forth in this Agreement, in the Investor Questionnaire and, if applicable, the Canadian Exemption Certificates, in determining materiality for purposes of satisfying the disclosure obligations of the Company and in determining the availability of exemptions from (a) registration requirements under applicable United States federal and state securities laws; and (b) prospectus requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws.
(h) The Investor is resident in the jurisdiction set out on the execution page of the Investor Questionnaire, which such address is the Investor’s residence or principal place of business, and such address was not obtained or used solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.
(i) The Investor fully understands and agrees that the Investor must bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Securities for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, neither the Securities nor the Warrant Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act, or the securities laws of any state, and therefore cannot be sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws or exemptions from such registration requirements are available. The Investor further understands and agrees that the Company will not honor any attempt by the Investor to sell, pledge, transfer, or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Notes, Warrants or Warrant Shares in the absence of an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws or an unqualified opinion of counsel, satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and its counsel, and obtained at the expense of the Investor, that exemptions are available therefrom with respect to such attempted disposition.
(j) The Investor acknowledges that the Warrants and the certificates representing Warrant Shares will bear a legend as of the Closing Date substantially in the following form:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
6 |
WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL OF TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE AND COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRADED ON OR THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE OR OTHERWISE IN CANADA OR TO OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF A CANADIAN RESIDENT UNTIL FOUR MONTHS FROM THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE SET FORTH BELOW.
(k) The Investor, if a resident of Canada, acknowledges that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares will bear a legend as of the Closing Date substantially in the following form (and with the necessary information inserted):
UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS 4 MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER [INSERT THE DISTRIBUTION DATE].
(l) The Investor (i) can bear the risk of losing the entire investment in the Securities; (ii) has overall commitments to other investments which are not readily marketable that are not disproportionate to his, her or its net worth and the investment Securities will not cause such overall commitments to become excessive; (iii) has adequate means of providing for current needs and personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity in the investment in the Securities; and (iv) has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that he, she or it is capable, either alone, or together with one or more advisors, of evaluating the risks and merits of investing in the Securities.
(m) The Investor has not incurred, and will not incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Investor, any liability for brokerage or finder’s fees or agent’s commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement.
(n) The Investor acknowledges that he, she or it must depend entirely upon his, her or its own personal advisors for tax advice concerning an investment in the Company, that the Company has not provided any information on tax matters, and that any information provided to the Investor by, or on behalf of, the Company is not to be construed as tax advice to the Investor from the Company or counsel to the Company. The Investor will rely solely on his, her or its own personal advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents and understands that the Investor (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Investor’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
7 |
(o) The Investor understands and agrees that the Company is issuing the Securities to him, her or it pursuant to the exemptions from federal and state securities registration requirements under the 1933 Act. In connection therewith, the Investor represents and warrants that the Investor qualifies as an “accredited investor” as such term is defined under Rule 501 of the 1933 Act (a “U.S. Accredited Investor”) and has confirmed that on the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit C.
(p) If a resident of Canada, the Investor also represents and warrants that the Investor:
(i) qualifies as an “accredited investor” (a “Canadian Accredited Investor”) as such term is defined in National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions (“NI 45-106”), and has confirmed that on the Canadian Accredited Investor Certificate and that the Investor was not created or used solely to purchase or hold securities as an Accredited Investor as described in paragraph (m) of the definition of Accredited Investor set out in the Canadian Accredited Investor Certificate; or
(ii) is not an individual and purchases as principal such number of Securities having an acquisition cost to the Investor of not less than Cdn$150,000 paid in cash at the time of Closing, such Investor also represents and warrants that the Investor was not created, or is used, solely to purchase or hold securities in reliance on the exemption from the prospectus requirement set out in subsection 2.10(1) of NI 45-106.
(iii) The Investor agrees to comply with all applicable securities laws and with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange concerning the purchase of, the holding of, and the resale restrictions applicable to, the Securities and the Warrant Shares. The Investor recognizes that the securities laws and regulations of certain jurisdictions, which may include the jurisdiction of which the Investor is a resident, may impose additional requirements relating to the Investor’s purchase of the Securities. The Investor hereby agrees to execute and to comply with the terms of any additions, supplements or amendments to this Agreement which are required by the Company.
(q) The funds representing the aggregate purchase price in respect of the Securities which will be advanced by the Investor to the Company hereunder will not represent proceeds of crime for the purpose of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) (the “PCMLTF Act”) and the Investor acknowledges that the Company may in the future be required by law to disclose the Investor’s name and other information relating to this Agreement and the Investor’s subscription hereunder, on a confidential basis, pursuant to the PCMLTF Act; to the best of the Investor’s knowledge, none of the subscription funds to be provided hereunder (i) have been or will be obtained or derived, directly or indirectly, from or related to any activity that is deemed illegal under the laws of Canada or the United States or any other jurisdiction, or (ii) are being tendered on behalf of a person or entity who has not been identified to the Investor. The Investor shall promptly notify the Company if the Investor discovers that any such representation ceases to be true, and shall provide the Company with appropriate information in connection therewith.
8 |
(r) The Investor acknowledges that no agency, stock exchange or governmental agency, securities commission or similar regulatory authority or other entity has reviewed or passed on or made any finding or determination as to the merits of or made any recommendation or endorsement with respect to the Securities or the Warrant Shares.
(s) The Investor acknowledges that there is no government or other insurance covering the Securities or the Warrant Shares.
(t) The Investor has no knowledge of a “material fact” or “material change” (as those terms are defined in applicable Canadian securities laws or under the 1933 Act, as applicable) in the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed to the public, save knowledge of this particular transaction.
(u) The Investor’s decision to tender this offer and purchase the Securities has not been made as a result of any verbal or written representation as to fact or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Company or any other person and is based entirely upon this Agreement and currently available public information concerning the Company.
(v) The Investor acknowledges and understands that the expiry date of the Warrants may be accelerated in certain circumstances as set out in the certificate representing the Warrants, including in connection with an early prepayment of the Notes.
(w) The representations and warranties made in this Agreement, the Investor Questionnaire and, if applicable, the Canadian Exemption Certifications, as well as all other information that the Investor has provided to the Company, either directly or indirectly, concerning the Investor’s financial position and knowledge of financial and business matters, is correct and complete as of the date hereof, and if there should be any material change in such information prior to the issuance to Investor of the Shares, Investor will immediately notify the Company.

INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE
The information contained herein is being furnished to CohBar, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in order for the Company to determine whether the undersigned’s subscription for the promissory notes (the “Notes”) and common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants” and together with the Notes, the “Securities”) of the Company may be accepted pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D”). The Securities are being offered without registration under the 1933 Act or the securities laws of any state or any other jurisdiction. Under the 1933 Act and/or certain state securities laws, the Company may be required to determine that an individual, an investing entity and/or each individual equity owner of an investing entity meets certain suitability requirements before selling the Securities to such individual or entity.
The undersigned Investor understands that: (i) the Company will rely upon the following information; (ii) the Securities and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion and exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) will not be registered under the 1933 Act in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D (although the Company has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register the resale of the Warrant Shares); (iii) this Confidential Investor Questionnaire is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of any offer to buy or sell the Securities or any other securities to the undersigned; and (iv) no subscription for any of the Securities will be accepted unless the Subscriber is an Accredited Investor.
Your answers will be kept strictly confidential. However, by signing this Questionnaire, you agree that the Company may present this Questionnaire to such parties as it deems appropriate if called upon to establish the Company’s entitlement to an exemption under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws.
