The name of the issuer is Lantern Pharma Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The address of the Issuer’s principal executive offices is 1920 McKinney Avenue, 7^th Floor, Dallas, Texas 75201. This Schedule 13D relates to outstanding shares of common stock of the Issuer, par value $0.0001 per share (“Shares”), and Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and options, in each case, held by the Reporting Persons (as defined below).

The foregoing are referred to herein collectively as the “Reporting Persons” and individually as a “Reporting Person.” Each of the Reporting Persons is party to that certain Joint Filing Agreement, as further described and defined in Item 6 below. Bios Fund I, Bios Fund I QP, Bios Fund II, Bios Fund II QP , Bios Fund II NT, and Bios Directors are also referred to herein collectively as the “Bios Equity Entities.”

The Reporting Persons may be deemed part of a group within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Act. Accordingly, such group may be deemed to collectively beneficially own 1,968,986 Shares, representing approximately 30.6% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares and Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and options held by the Reporting Persons (as described in further detail below), in each case, as of the date hereof. The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons are part of a group within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Act.

The Reporting Persons acquired certain ownership interests in the Issuer prior to the Issuer’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in the following transactions:

In connection with the Issuer’s IPO, effective immediately prior to the closing thereof, the Issuer effected a 1.74-for-1 stock split of its outstanding Shares (“Stock Split”), including the Shares directly held by the Reporting Persons as listed in the foregoing paragraphs. As a result of the Stock Split, the Fucci Options directly held by Bios Directors represent options to purchase up to 32,538 Shares at a per share exercise price of $1.03. Immediately prior to the closing of the Issuer’s IPO, the Issuer’s Preferred Shares (which had no expiration date), including those directly held by the Reporting Persons as listed in the foregoing paragraphs were, for no additional consideration, automatically converted into Shares on approximately a 1.74-for-1 basis. Additionally, upon the closing of the Issuer’s IPO, the warrants to purchase Preferred Shares directly held by the Reporting Persons as listed in the foregoing paragraphs were, for no additional consideration, amended to represent a right to purchase Shares on approximately a 1.74-for-1 basis at a per share exercise price of $3.13. Upon the closing of the Issuer’s IPO, Mr. Kreis was granted an option to purchase 9,135 Shares at an exercise price equal to $15.00 per share (the “Kreis Option”). The Kreis Option was granted in consideration for Mr. Kreis’ services as a director of the Issuer. Subject to certain conditions, the Kreis Option is scheduled to vest ratably on a monthly basis over the 36-month period, with such incremental vesting to take place on the 15th day of each calendar month beginning with the month of July 2020 and continuing through the month of June 2023. As of the date hereof, the amount of Shares, warrants to purchase Shares and options to purchase Shares held by the Reporting Persons following the Stock Split, the conversion of Preferred Shares and the amendment of warrants is as listed in Item 5 below.

The securities covered by this Schedule 13D were acquired for investment purposes.

Mr. Kreis has served on the board of directors of the Issuer since November 2019. As a director of the Issuer, Mr. Kreis may have influence over the corporate activities of the Issuer, including activities which may relate to the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that relate to, or that would result in, any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; however, as part of their ongoing evaluation of the investment described in this Schedule 13D and investment alternatives, the Reporting Persons may consider such matters in the future, and subject to applicable law, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters, and, from time to time, the Reporting Persons may hold discussions with management or the board of directors of the Issuer, other holders of securities of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters. The Reporting Persons retain the right to change their investment intent, and may, from time to time, acquire additional shares of Shares or other securities of the Issuer, or sell or otherwise dispose of (or enter into plans or arrangements to sell or otherwise dispose of), all or part of the Shares or other securities of the Issuer, if any, beneficially owned by them, in any manner permitted by law.

(a)-(b)     The aggregate number and percentage of Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are as follows:

SECTION 3. No Transfer or Assignment of Option.

Except as otherwise provided in this Award Agreement, the Option and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to sale under execution, attachment, levy or similar process.

SECTION 4. Exercise Procedures.

(a) Notice of Exercise. The Participant or the Participant’s authorized representative may exercise the Option by giving written notice to the Corporation pursuant to Section 12(c). The notice shall specify the election to exercise the Option, the number of shares for which it is being exercised and the form of payment. The person exercising the Option shall sign the notice. In the event that the Option is being exercised by the Participant’s representative, the notice shall be accompanied by proof (satisfactory to the Corporation) of the representative’s authority to exercise the Option.

After receiving proper notice of exercise and payment, the Corporation shall issue one or more certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock for which the Option is exercised. The Corporation shall cause such certificates to be delivered to or upon the order of the person exercising the Option.

(c) Taxes. In the event that the Corporation determines that it is required to withhold any tax (including, without limitation, any income tax, social insurance contributions, payroll tax or other tax-related items arising in connection with the Participant’s Option exercise (the “Tax-Related Items”)), the Corporation shall have the right and is hereby authorized to deduct from any amounts payable to Participant by the Corporation the amount of any such applicable taxes, and the Corporation may take any such other action as it or the Board deems necessary to satisfy all obligations for the withholding and payment of such taxes. The Participant acknowledges that the responsibility for all Tax-Related Items is the Participant’s and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Corporation (or its affiliate or agent).

SECTION 5. Payment For Stock.

(a) Cash. All or part of the Exercise Price may be paid in cash or cash equivalents.

(b) Withholding Stock or Surrender of Stock.

(c) Other Payment Forms. All or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes may be paid by other payment forms approved by the Board having a Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date equal to the aggregate Exercise Price (and withholding tax amount, if applicable), which, to the extent permissible under applicable laws, may include a promissory note, subject to such recourse, interest, security and redemption provisions as the Board deems appropriate.

(d) Combination. The Board may approve any combination of the foregoing.

SECTION 6. Term and Expiration.

(a) Basic Term. Subject to the provisions of Subsections (b) and (c) below, the Option shall expire on the expiration date set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, which is 10 years after the Grant Date.

(b) Termination of Services (except due to death or Disability). Participant acknowledges that the Option has been issued pursuant to the Plan in connection with service by an individual (the “Participant Representative”) who is a representative of an affiliate of the Participant and who is also currently serving as a Director of the Corporation. If the Participant Representative’s employment or services with the Corporation or a Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than death or Disability, to the extent that the Option is exercisable and unexercised on the date when the Participant Representative’s employment or services with the Corporation or a Subsidiary terminate, the Option shall expire on the earliest of the following:

(i) The expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (a) above; or

(ii) the date three months after the termination of the Participant Representative’s employment or services; or

(iii) If the Award is an ISO, the date three months after the termination of the Participant Representative’s employment.

The Participant may exercise all or part of the Option at any time before its expiration, but only to the extent that the Option had become exercisable before the Participant Representative’s employment or services terminated. When the Participant Representative’s employment or services terminate, the Option shall expire immediately with respect to the number of shares for which the Option is not yet exercisable.

(c) Termination of Service Due to Death or Disability.

(i) If the Participant Representative’s employment or services terminate due to death or Disability of the Participant Representative, to the extent that the Option is exercisable and unexercised on the date when the Participant Representative’s employment or services terminate, the Option shall expire on the earliest of the following: (i) the expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (a) above;

(ii) the date one year after the termination of the Participant Representative’s employment or services; or (iii) if the Award is an ISO, the date one year after the termination of the Participant Representative’s employment.

(iii) In the case of death or Disability of the Participant Representative, all or part of the Option may be exercised at any time before its expiration date by the Participant or by Participant’s duly authorized representative in accordance with Section 4(a). When the Participant Representative’s employment or services terminate due to death or Disability, the Option shall expire immediately with respect to the number of shares for which the Option is not yet exercisable.

SECTION 7. Right of First Refusal.

(a) Right of First Refusal. In the event that the Participant proposes to sell, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer to a third party any shares acquired under the Award Agreement, or any interest in such shares, the Corporation shall have a right of first refusal (“Right of First Refusal”) with respect to all (and not less than all) of such shares. If the Participant desires to transfer shares acquired under the Award Agreement, the Participant shall give a written transfer notice (“Transfer Notice”) to the Corporation describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of shares proposed to be transferred, the proposed transfer price, the name and address of the proposed transferee (the “Transferee”) and proof satisfactory to the Corporation that the proposed sale or transfer will not violate any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws. The Transfer Notice shall be signed both by the Participant and by the proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of both parties to the transfer of the shares. The Corporation shall have the right to purchase all, and not less than all, of the shares on the terms of the proposal described in the Transfer Notice (subject, however, to any change in such terms permitted under Subsection (b) below) by delivery of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date on which the Transfer Notice was received by the Corporation.

(b) Transfer of Shares. If the Corporation fails to exercise its Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date on which it received the Transfer Notice, the Participant may, not later than 90 days following receipt of the Transfer Notice by the Corporation, conclude a transfer of the shares subject to the Transfer Notice on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice, provided that any such sale is made in compliance with applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws and not in violation of any other contractual restrictions to which the Participant is bound. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Participant, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance with the procedure described in Subsection (a) above. If the Corporation exercises its Right of First Refusal, the parties shall consummate the sale of the shares on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within 60 days after the date when the Corporation received the Transfer Notice (or within such longer period as may have been specified in the Transfer Notice); provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice provided that payment for the shares was to be made in a form other than cash or cash equivalents paid at the time of transfer, the Corporation shall have the right to pay for the shares with cash or cash equivalents equal to the then current value of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice.

(c) Additional or Exchanged Securities and Property. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Corporation, a sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s stock or assets, any other corporate reorganization, a stock split, the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Corporation’s outstanding securities, any securities or other property (including cash or cash equivalents) that are by reason of such transaction exchanged for, or distributed with respect to, any shares subject to this Section 7 shall immediately be subject to the Right of First Refusal. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the exchange or distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the shares and/or property subject to this Section 7.

(d) Termination of Right of First Refusal. Any other provision of this Section 7 notwithstanding, in the event that the Common Stock is readily tradable on an established securities market when the Participant desires to transfer shares, the Corporation shall have no Right of First Refusal, and the Participant shall have no obligation to comply with the procedures prescribed by Subsections (a) and (b) above.

(e) Permitted Transfers. This Section 7 shall not apply to a transfer by the Participant to one or more members of the Participant Representative’s immediate family or to a trust established by the Participant Representative for the benefit of the Participant Representative and/or one or more members of the Participant Representative’s immediate family, provided in either case that the Transferee agrees in writing on a form prescribed by the Corporation to be bound by all provisions of the Plan and this Award Agreement. If the Participant transfers any shares acquired under this Award Agreement, either under this Subsection (e) or after the Corporation has failed to exercise the Right of First Refusal, the Participant’s obligations under this Award Agreement shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as they applied to the Participant, and the Participant agrees to take all reasonable actions to assure that the Transferee has agreed to be bound by such obligations.

(f) Termination of Rights as Shareholder. If the Corporation makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in the Award Agreement, the consideration for the shares to be purchased in accordance with this Section 7, then after such time the person from whom such shares are to be purchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Section 7). Such shares shall be deemed to have been purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered as required by the Award Agreement.

(g) Assignment of Right of First Refusal. The Board may freely assign the Corporation’s Right of First Refusal, in whole or in part. Any person who accepts an assignment of the Right of First Refusal from the Corporation shall assume all of the Corporation’s rights and obligations under this Section 7.

SECTION 8. Legality of Initial Issuance.

No shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the Option unless and until the Corporation has reasonably determined that:

(a) It and the Participant have taken any actions reasonably required to register the shares under the Securities Act or to confirm an exemption from the registration requirements thereof;

(b) Any applicable listing requirement of any Stock Exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is listed has been satisfied; and

(c) Any other applicable identified provision of federal, state or foreign law has been satisfied.

SECTION 9. No Registration Rights.

No rights are granted hereunder to the Participant to require the Corporation to register or qualify the sale of any shares acquired under the Award Agreement under the Securities Act or any other applicable law. The Corporation may (but shall have no obligation to pursuant to the Notice of Stock Option Grant, this Award Agreement, or the Plan) register or qualify the sale of shares acquired under the Award Agreement under the Securities Act or any other applicable law. The Corporation shall not be obligated pursuant to the Notice of Stock Option Grant, this Award Agreement, or the Plan to take any affirmative action in order to cause the sale of shares under the Award Agreement to comply with any law.

SECTION 10. Restrictions on Transfer of Shares.

(a) Securities Law Restrictions. Regardless of whether the offering and sale of shares under the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state or other relevant jurisdiction, the Corporation at its discretion may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop - transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of the Corporation, such restrictions are necessary or desirable to achieve compliance with the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state or other relevant jurisdiction, or any other law. The Corporation will refuse to issues shares upon exercise of the Option, or upon subsequent transfer, if the exercise or other transfer is not in compliance with applicable securities laws, including Regulation S of the Securities Act, pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration. The Corporation may require the Participant or a holder of the shares issued on exercise of the Option, or upon subsequent transfer, to deliver an opinion or advice of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation stating that the issuance or transfer of the shares are exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

(b) Market Stand-Off. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Corporation of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the Corporation’s initial public offering, the Participant or a Transferee shall not directly or indirectly sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any shares acquired or to be acquired pursuant to exercise of the Option or under this Award Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Corporation or its managing underwriter. Such restriction (the “Market Stand-Off’) shall be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the applicable offering as may be requested by the Corporation or such underwriter. In no event, however, shall such period exceed 180 days plus such additional period as may reasonably be requested by the Corporation or such underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports or (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including (without limitation) the restrictions set forth in Rule 2711(f)(4) of the National Association of Securities Dealers and Rule 472(f)(4) of the New York Stock Exchange, as amended, or any similar successor rules. The Market Stand-Off shall in any event terminate two years after the date of the Corporation’s initial public offering. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction effecting the Corporation’s outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any shares subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such shares thereby become convertible, shall immediately be subject to the Market Stand-Off. In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Corporation may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to any shares acquired or to be acquired pursuant to exercise of the Option or under this Award Agreement until the end of the applicable stand-off period. The Corporation’s underwriters shall be beneficiaries of the agreement set forth in this Subsection (b). This Subsection (b) shall not apply to shares registered in the public offering under the Securities Act.

(c) Investment Intent at Grant. The Participant represents and agrees that the shares to be acquired upon exercising the Option will be acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof.

(d) Investment Intent at Exercise. In the event that the sale of shares upon exercising the Option is not registered under the Securities Act but an exemption is available that requires an investment representation or other representation, the Participant shall represent and agree at the time of exercise that the shares being acquired upon exercising the Option are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Corporation and its counsel.

SECTION 7. Right of First Refusal.

(a) Right of First Refusal. In the event that the Participant proposes to sell, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer to a third party any shares acquired under the Award Agreement, or any interest in such shares, the Corporation shall have a right of first refusal (“Right of First Refusal”) with respect to all (and not less than all) of such shares. If the Participant desires to transfer shares acquired under the Award Agreement, the Participant shall give a written transfer notice (“Transfer Notice”) to the Corporation describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of shares proposed to be transferred, the proposed transfer price, the name and address of the proposed transferee (the “Transferee”) and proof satisfactory to the Corporation that the proposed sale or transfer will not violate any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws. The Transfer Notice shall be signed both by the Participant and by the proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of both parties to the transfer of the shares. The Corporation shall have the right to purchase all, and not less than all, of the shares on the terms of the proposal described in the Transfer Notice (subject, however, to any change in such terms permitted under Subsection (b) below) by delivery of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date on which the Transfer Notice was received by the Corporation.

(b) Transfer of Shares. If the Corporation fails to exercise its Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date on which it received the Transfer Notice, the Participant may, not later than 90 days following receipt of the Transfer Notice by the Corporation, conclude a transfer of the shares subject to the Transfer Notice on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice, provided that any such sale is made in compliance with applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws and not in violation of any other contractual restrictions to which the Participant is bound. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Participant, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance with the procedure described in Subsection (a) above. If the Corporation exercises its Right of First Refusal, the parties shall consummate the sale of the shares on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within 60 days after the date when the Corporation received the Transfer Notice (or within such longer period as may have been specified in the Transfer Notice); provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice provided that payment for the shares was to be made in a form other than cash or cash equivalents paid at the time of transfer, the Corporation shall have the right to pay for the shares with cash or cash equivalents equal to the then current value of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice.

(c) Additional or Exchanged Securities and Property. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Corporation, a sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s stock or assets, any other corporate reorganization, a stock split, the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Corporation’s outstanding securities, any securities or other property (including cash or cash equivalents) that are by reason of such transaction exchanged for, or distributed with respect to, any shares subject to this Section 7 shall immediately be subject to the Right of First Refusal. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the exchange or distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the shares and/or property subject to this Section 7.

(d) Termination of Right of First Refusal. Any other provision of this Section 7 notwithstanding, in the event that the Common Stock is readily tradable on an established securities market when the Participant desires to transfer shares, the Corporation shall have no Right of First Refusal, and the Participant shall have no obligation to comply with the procedures prescribed by Subsections (a) and (b) above.

(e) Permitted Transfers. This Section 7 shall not apply to (i) a transfer by beneficiary designation, will or intestate succession, (ii) a transfer by the Participant to one or more members of the Participant’s immediate family, (iii) a transfer by the Participant to a trust established by the Participant for the benefit of the Participant and/or one or more members of the Participant’s immediate family, or (iv) a transfer by the Participant to BP Directors, LP in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement, provided in each case that the Transferee agrees in writing on a form prescribed by the Corporation to be bound by all provisions of the Plan and this Award Agreement. If the Participant transfers any shares acquired under this Award Agreement, either under this Subsection (e) or after the Corporation has failed to exercise the Right of First Refusal, the Participant’s obligations under this Award Agreement shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as they applied to the Participant, and the Participant agrees to take all reasonable actions to assure that the Transferee has agreed to be bound by such obligations.

(f) Termination of Rights as Shareholder. If the Corporation makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in the Award Agreement, the consideration for the shares to be purchased in accordance with this Section 7, then after such time the person from whom such shares are to be purchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Section 7). Such shares shall be deemed to have been purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered as required by the Award Agreement.

(g) Assignment of Right of First Refusal. The Board may freely assign the Corporation’s Right of First Refusal, in whole or in part. Any person who accepts an assignment of the Right of First Refusal from the Corporation shall assume all of the Corporation’s rights and obligations under this Section 7.

SECTION 8. Legality of Initial Issuance.

No shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the Option unless and until the Corporation has reasonably determined that:

(a) It and the Participant have taken any actions reasonably required to register the shares under the Securities Act or to confirm an exemption from the registration requirements thereof;

(b) Any applicable listing requirement of any Stock Exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is listed has been satisfied; and

(c) Any other applicable identified provision of federal, state or foreign law has been satisfied.

SECTION 9. No Registration Rights.

No rights are granted hereunder to the Participant to require the Corporation to register or qualify the sale of any shares acquired under the Award Agreement under the Securities Act or any other applicable law. The Corporation may (but shall have no obligation to pursuant to the Notice of Stock Option Grant, this Award Agreement, or the Plan) register or qualify the sale of shares acquired under the Award Agreement under the Securities Act or any other applicable law. The Corporation shall not be obligated pursuant to the Notice of Stock Option Grant, this Award Agreement, or the Plan to take any affirmative action in order to cause the sale of shares under the Award Agreement to comply with any law.

SECTION 10. Restrictions on Transfer of Shares.

(a) Securities Law Restrictions. Regardless of whether the offering and sale of shares under the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state or other relevant jurisdiction, the Corporation at its discretion may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of the Corporation, such restrictions are necessary or desirable to achieve compliance with the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state or other relevant jurisdiction, or any other law. The Corporation will refuse to issues shares upon exercise of the Option, or upon subsequent transfer, if the exercise or other transfer is not in compliance with applicable securities laws, including Regulation S of the Securities Act, pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration. The Corporation may require the Participant or a holder of the shares issued on exercise of the Option, or upon subsequent transfer, to deliver an opinion or advice of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation stating that the issuance or transfer of the shares are exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

(b) Market Stand-Off. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Corporation of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the Corporation’s initial public offering, the Participant or a Transferee shall not directly or indirectly sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any shares acquired or to be acquired pursuant to exercise of the Option or under this Award Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Corporation or its managing underwriter. Such restriction (the “Market Stand-Off”) shall be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the applicable offering as may be requested by the Corporation or such underwriter. In no event, however, shall such period exceed 180 days plus such additional period as may reasonably be requested by the Corporation or such underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports or (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including (without limitation) the restrictions set forth in Rule 2711(f)(4) of the National Association of Securities Dealers and Rule 472(f)(4) of the New York Stock Exchange, as amended, or any similar successor rules. The Market Stand-Off shall in any event terminate two years after the date of the Corporation’s initial public offering. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Corporation’s outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any shares subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such shares thereby become convertible, shall immediately be subject to the Market Stand-Off. In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Corporation may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to any shares acquired or to be acquired pursuant to exercise of the Option or under this Award Agreement until the end of the applicable stand-off period. The Corporation’s underwriters shall be beneficiaries of the agreement set forth in this Subsection (b). This Subsection (b) shall not apply to shares registered in the public offering under the Securities Act.

(c) Investment Intent at Grant. The Participant represents and agrees that the shares to be acquired upon exercising the Option will be acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof.

(d) Investment Intent at Exercise. In the event that the sale of shares upon exercising the Option is not registered under the Securities Act but an exemption is available that requires an investment representation or other representation, the Participant shall represent and agree at the time of exercise that the shares being acquired upon exercising the Option are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Corporation and its counsel.

(e) Legends. All certificates evidencing shares purchased pursuant to exercise of the Option or otherwise pursuant to the Agreement shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
