PUBLIC OFFERING SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Units of Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
of
Energous Corporation

This Subscription Agreement relates to my/our agreement to purchase ________ units, with each unit consisting of one (1) share of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share and 3 warrants, each to purchase one (1) share of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share of the Company, (the “Units”), to be issued by Energous Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for a purchase price of $1.50 per Unit, for a total purchase price of $___________ (“Subscription Price”), subject to the terms, conditions, acknowledgments, representations and warranties stated herein and in the final offering circular for the sale of the Units, dated [*], 2024 contained in the offering statement on Form 1-A declared “qualified” by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on [*], 2024 (the “Offering Circular”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Offering Circular.

I understand that if I wish to purchase Units, I must complete this Subscription Agreement and submit the applicable Subscription Price as set forth herein. Subscription funds will be held by and at an FDIC insured bank in compliance with SEC Rule 15c2-4, with funds released to the Company at closing, as described in the Offering Circular through a clearing firm or escrow account. I may pay the Subscription Price either though my brokerage account held with the clearing firm or by forwarding funds directly to the escrow account. The escrow account will be maintained by Wilmington Trust as escrow agent. In the event that the offering is terminated, then the Units will not be sold to investors pursuant to this offering and all funds will be returned to investors from escrow without interest or deduction. If any portion of the Units is not sold in the offering, any funds paid by me for such portion of the Units will be returned to me promptly; or, if I have an account with My IPO, funds for such unsold Units will not be debited from my account at closing.

In order to induce the Company to accept this Subscription Agreement for the Units and as further consideration for such acceptance, I hereby make, adopt, confirm and agree to all of the following covenants, acknowledgments, representations and warranties with the full knowledge that the Company and its affiliates will expressly rely thereon in making a decision to accept or reject this Subscription Agreement:

3. Investor Eligibility Certifications

I understand that to purchase Units, I must either be an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), or, unless the securities issued in the offering initially trade on a national securities exchange, I must limit my investment in the Units to a maximum of: (i) 10% of my net worth or annual income, whichever is greater, if I am a natural person; or (ii) 10% of my revenues or net assets, whichever is greater, for my most recently completed fiscal year, if I am a non-natural person. I understand that if I am a natural person I should determine my net worth for purposes of these representations by calculating the difference between my total assets and total liabilities. I understand this calculation must exclude the value of my primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by my primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of my primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the Units.

I hereby represent and warrant that I meet the qualifications to purchase Units because:

¨ The aggregate purchase price for the Common Stock I am purchasing in the offering does not exceed 10% of my net worth or annual income, whichever is greater.

¨ I am an accredited investor. 

4. I understand that the Company reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, accept or reject this Subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever, and to the extent not accepted, unused funds maintained in my account at My IPO or transmitted herewith shall either, as the case may be, not be debited from my account at My IPO or be returned to the undersigned in full, with any interest accrued thereon or deduction.

5. I have received the Offering Circular.

6. I accept the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company.

7. I am purchasing the Units for my own account.

8. I hereby represent and warrant that I am not on, and am not acting as an agent, representative, intermediary or nominee for any person identified on, the list of blocked persons maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Department of Treasury. In addition, I have complied with all applicable U.S. laws, regulations, directives, and executive orders relating to anti-money laundering, including but not limited to the following laws: (1) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56; and (2) Executive Order 13224 (Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism) of September 23, 2001. By making the foregoing representations you have not waived any right of action you may have under federal or state securities law. Any such waiver would be unenforceable. The Company will assert your representations as a defense in any subsequent litigation where such assertion would be relevant. This Subscription Agreement and all rights hereunder shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws.
