COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

To purchase shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of

TUHURA BIOSCIENCES, INC.

Dated: ______, 2024

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, ___________________ (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date of this Warrant and on or prior to the close of business on the date that is the third (3rd) anniversary of the date of this Warrant (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter and subject to Section 11 below (the “Exercise Period”), to subscribe for and purchase from TUHURA BIOSCIENCES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to ________________ (______) shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be One Dollar and Two Cents ($1.02) (the “Exercise Price”), payable in cash. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the Termination Date. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is exercisable shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein. The term “Holder” shall refer to the Holder identified above or any subsequent transferee of this Warrant.

1. Authorization of Warrant Shares. The Company represents and warrants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

2. Exercise of Warrant.

(a) Method of Exercise. Except as provided in Section 3 herein and subject to Section 11, exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made at any time on or after the date of this Warrant and on or prior to the close of business on the Termination Date by (i) surrendering this Warrant, with the Notice of Exercise Form attached hereto completed and duly executed, to the offices of the Company (or such other office or agency (including the transfer agent, if applicable) of the Company

as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of such Xxxxxx appearing on the books of the Company), and (ii) delivering to the Company payment of the Exercise Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank. The Holder exercising his, her or its purchase rights in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the Warrant Shares so purchased, which certificate will bear a legend substantially similar to the legend set forth on this Warrant. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be issued and delivered to the Holder within five (5) business days after the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder shall be deemed to no longer hold this Warrant with respect to such shares and to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, in each case, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price for such shares and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 4 prior to the issuance of such shares, have been paid.

(b) Cashless Exercise. On any exercise of this Warrant at a time when there is no effective registration statement registering the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Exercise Price in the manner specified in Section 2(a), Holder may elect to surrender to the Company an amount of Warrant Shares having an aggregate value equal to the aggregate Exercise Price. If Xxxxxx makes such election, the Company shall issue to Holder such number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares determined by the following formula:

		X = Y(A-B)/A
		where:
		X =		the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to Holder;
		Y =		the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the Warrant Shares surrendered to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price);
		A =		the fair market value, as determined pursuant to Section 2(c), of one Warrant Share; and
		B =		the Exercise Price.

(c) Fair Market Value. If upon Xxxxxx’s exercise of this Warrant, shares of the Company’s Common Stock are not then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market (a “Trading Market”), the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the fair market value of a Warrant Share in its reasonable good faith judgment. If shares of the Company’s Common Stock are then traded or quoted on a Trading Market and the class is Common Stock, the fair market value of a Warrant Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of the Company’s Common Stock reported for the trading day immediately prior to the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant and Notice of Exercise Form to the Company.

3. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.

2

4. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder; provided, however, that the Holder shall pay any applicable transfer taxes.

5. No Rights as Stockholder until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the later of the date of such surrender or payment, and this Warrant shall no longer be issuable with respect to such Warrant Shares.

6. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that, upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

7. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

8. Adjustments and Termination of Rights. The purchase price per Warrant Share and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(d) Reclassification, Recapitalization, etc. In case of any capital reorganization or any reclassification of the shares of Common Stock, which occurs after the date of issuance of this Warrant, or in the case of any consolidation with, or merger of, the Company into or with another company, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation or entity effected in such a manner that the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a part of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, as the case may be, lawful provision will be made so that the Holder will have the right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property that the Holder would have been entitled to receive if, immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, the Warrant had held the number of shares of Common Stock that were then purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) will be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Warrant (including provisions with respect to adjustments of the Exercise Price) will thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(e) Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.

3

(f) Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend with respect to Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of the shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.

(g) Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares. Upon each adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to Sections 8(b) or 8(c) hereof, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment in the Exercise Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately after such adjustment.

9. Notice of Adjustments, Notices. If the Exercise Price or number or type of securities issuable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Company shall issue and provide to the Holder, as holder of this Warrant, a certificate signed by an officer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment.

10. Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to ensure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation.

11. Early Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant Agreement, in the event of a proposed Company Sale, the Company may give written notice to the Holder that the Company proposes to enter into a Company Sale (a “Sale Notice”). Such notice shall be provided no less than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the anticipated closing date of the Company Sale. In the event that the Company does not receive a Notice of Exercise within fifteen (15) days after delivering the Sale Notice, then this Warrant will automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect as of the closing date of the Company Sale. Each Warrant not exercised on or before the date of consummation of a Company Sale shall become void, and all rights thereunder and in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at the close of business on such date. “Company Sale” means (i) a sale or transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company by the holders thereof to transferees that are not affiliates of the respective transferors, (ii) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity that is not an affiliate of the Company and in connection with which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the transferee that acquires such assets, (iii) any merger, consolidation, or other business combination of the Company with an entity that is not an affiliate of the Company and pursuant to which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the Company or successor or surviving entity in the transaction, or (iv) any other transaction or reorganization that the Board of Directors of the Company believes in good faith is in the nature of a transaction described in the foregoing clauses of this sentence.

12. Miscellaneous.

(a) Jurisdiction. This Warrant shall constitute a contract under the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law, principles or rules.

(b) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws and as set forth in the Subscription Agreement pursuant to which this Warrant was issued.

(c) Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be effective upon delivery in person or five business days after being mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage pre-paid, addressed as follows:

(e) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

(f) Severability.
