The Shares and Warrants will be issued separately.

The Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares.” The Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Securities.” The Securities are more fully described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The Company desires to engage Xxxxxxxxx LLC as the placement agent in connection with such issuance and sale of the Securities.

Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Exchange Act on or before the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. Any reference herein to “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include any abbreviated registration statement to register additional securities of the Company under Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act. Certain terms used herein are defined in Section 18 hereof.

The Company hereby confirms its agreement with you as follows:

Section 1. Agreement to Act as Placement Agent.

(a) On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained, and subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement Xxxxxxxxx LLC shall be the Company’s exclusive placement agent (in such capacity, the “Placement Agent”), acting on a reasonable best efforts basis, in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of the Securities to the Investors in a proposed offering pursuant to the Registration Statement, with the terms of the offering to be subject to market conditions and negotiations among the Company, the Placement Agent and the prospective Investors (such offering shall be referred to herein as the “Offering”). As compensation for services rendered, and provided that any of the Securities are sold to the Investors in the Offering, on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1(c) hereof) of the Offering, the Company shall pay to the Placement Agent an amount in the aggregate equal to

6.00% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Shares and the Warrants (the “Placement Fee”). The Placement Agent will not receive any fees in connection with the exercise of the Warrants or the repricing or exchange of existing warrants issued in February 2023. The sale of the Securities shall be made pursuant to the securities purchase agreement in the form included as Exhibit A hereto (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) on the terms described on Exhibit B hereto. The Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase the Securities and may reject any such offer in whole or in part.

(b) This Agreement shall not give rise to any commitment by the Placement Agent to purchase any of the Securities, and the Placement Agent shall have no authority to bind the Company to accept offers to purchase the Securities. The Placement Agent shall act on a reasonable best efforts basis and does not guarantee that it will be able to raise new capital in the Offering. Prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which this Agreement is terminated and (ii) the Closing Date, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, solicit or accept offers to purchase Securities (other than pursuant to the exercise of options to purchase Common Stock or vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that are outstanding under existing equity incentive plans at the date hereof) otherwise than through the Placement Agent in accordance herewith. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent shall have no liability (in tort, contract or otherwise) to the Company, its affiliates or any other person for any losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (each a “Loss” and, collectively, the “Losses”) arising from its own acts or omissions in performing its obligations as Placement Agent in connection with the Offering, except for any such Losses that are finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily from its bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing its services hereunder.

(c) Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the Securities shall be made at a closing (the “Closing”) remotely at 10:00 A.M. New York City time on July 25, 2023, or at such time on such other date as may be agreed upon in writing by the Placement Agent and the Company (such date of payment and delivery being herein called the “Closing Date”). All such actions taken at the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously. No Shares and Warrants which the Company has agreed to sell pursuant to this Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to have been purchased and paid for, or sold by the Company, until such Shares and Warrants shall have been delivered to the Investors against payment therefor by the Investors. If the Company shall default in its obligations to deliver the Shares and Warrants to the Investors whose offer it has accepted, the Company shall indemnify and hold the Placement Agent harmless against any loss, claim or damage incurred by the Placement Agent arising from or as a result of such default by the Company.

(d) On the Closing and on each closing date of the purchase and sale of Warrant Shares, (i) the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Securities to the Investors or their designee, and the Investors shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the purchase price for the Securities to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and (ii) the Company will wire the amounts owed to the Placement Agent as provided in this Agreement. Delivery of the Shares and Warrant Shares shall be made “delivery versus payment” through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) unless the Placement Agent shall otherwise instruct. The Warrants shall be delivered to the Investors in definitive form, registered in such names and in such denominations as the Investors shall request in writing not later than the Closing Date. The Warrants will be made available for inspection by the Placement Agent on the business day prior to the Closing.

(e) The Securities shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Investors, unless otherwise instructed by the Placement Agent, shall request by written notice to the Company.

Section 6. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification of the Placement Agent. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent, its affiliates, directors, officers and employees, and agents who have or who are alleged to have participated in the distribution of the Securities as Placement Agent and each person who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise (i) relating to, arising out of or in connection with the services performed pursuant to this Agreement, the transaction contemplated hereby or the Placement Agent role in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Company will not be responsible for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or expenses relating thereto) under this clause (i) that are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Placement Agent or (ii) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Disclosure Package, any Testing-the-Waters Communications, any electronic road show used in connection with the offering of the Securities or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action under clauses (i) or (ii); provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case pursuant to clause (ii) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Placement Agent Information (as defined below). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification of the Company. The Placement Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to the Placement Agent furnished to the Company in writing by the Placement Agent expressly for use in and contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Disclosure Package, any Testing-the-Waters Communications, any electronic road show used in connection with the offering of the Securities or in any amendment thereof or supplement, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the parties hereto hereby agree that such information provided by the Placement Agent consists solely of the name of the Placement Agent on the cover of the Prospectus (collectively, the “Placement Agent Information”).

(c) Notice and Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party; provided, however, that an indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one such separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 6(a) or (b) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days before such settlement is entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request or disputed in good faith the indemnified party’s entitlement to such reimbursement prior to the date of such settlement. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent: (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include an admission of fault.

(d) Contribution. In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Placement Agent severally agree to contribute to the aggregate Losses to which the Company and the Placement Agent may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Placement Agent on the other from the offering of the Securities. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Placement Agent severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the

relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Placement Agent on the other in connection with the actions, statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Placement Agent shall be deemed to be equal to the Placement Fee, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined (i) in the case of any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact by reference to, among other things, whether such statement or omission relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Placement Agent on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission; and (ii) in the case of any other action or omission, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether such action or omission was taken or omitted to be taken by the Company or by the Placement Agent and the parties’ relative intent, relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action or omission. The Company and the Placement Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Placement Agent were treated as one entity for such purpose) or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), in no event shall a Placement Agent be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Placement Fee received by such Placement Agent with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Placement Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), in no event shall a Placement Agent be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total Placement Fee received by such Placement Agent exceeds the amount of any damages that such Placement Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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. For purposes of this Section 6, each person who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, affiliate and agent of the Placement Agent shall have the same rights to contribution as the Placement Agent, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

(e) Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The obligations of the Company under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. The indemnity and contribution agreements of the parties contained in this Section 6 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Placement Agent, their affiliates, directors, officers and employees, and agents who have or who are alleged to have participated in the distribution of the Securities as Placement Agent and each person who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Company, its directors or officers or any person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and (iii) the issuance and delivery of the Securities. The Company and the Placement Agent agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any proceeding against it and, in the case of the Company, against any of the Company’s officers or directors in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities, or in connection with the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

Section 7. Termination.

The Placement Agent services hereunder may be terminated with or without cause by the Placement Agent at any time and without liability or continuing obligation to the Placement Agent or the Company, except for any compensation earned by the Placement Agent to the date of termination and as otherwise provided in this Section 7. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Placement Agent pursuant to Section 5 hereof or the sale of the Securities to the Investors is not consummated because of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or perform any agreement or obligation of this Agreement or the Securities Purchase Agreement, other than by reason of a default by the Placement Agent, the Company will, in addition to paying the amounts described in Section 4 hereof, and, if applicable, the preceding sentence, reimburse the Placement Agent for all of its reasonable, documented and actual out-of-pocket disbursements (including, but not limited to, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of its outside counsel).
