1. Share Purchase: Each undersigned purchaser (“Purchaser”) irrevocably agrees to purchase from Rezolute, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Rezolute” or the “Company”), that number of Shares of  Common Stock of Rezolute set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Offered Shares” or the “Securities”) at a price of $.29 per Offered Share (the “Purchase Price”). All figures are in United States Dollars unless otherwise specified.

Upon receipt by Rezolute of the Purchase Price and satisfaction of the subject to Conditions set forth herein in Section 7 of this Agreement (the “Conditions”), the Company shall sell to the Purchaser the Offered Shares free and clear of all encumbrances, and the Purchaser shall purchase the Offered Shares (“Closing”). The Closing shall take place on or about July 24, 2019, or such other date as the Parties may agree in writing  (the “Closing Date”).  The Securities purchased for herein, will not be deemed issued to, or owned by, Purchaser until, the Purchase Agreement has been executed by Purchaser and accepted by Rezolute, and all payments required to be made herein have been made. Within twenty (20) days after the Closing, Rezolute will deliver the certificates representing the Offered Shares purchased by Purchaser at the address set forth in the registration instructions set forth on the signature page (unless Purchaser otherwise instructs Rezolute in writing).  None of the Offered Shares to be issued under this Agreement have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“U.S. Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state in the United States. The Closing is subject to the fulfillment of the Conditions, which Conditions Rezolute and Purchaser covenant to exercise their reasonable best efforts to have fulfilled on or prior to the Closing Date:

Rezolute has engaged Canaccord Genuity LLC and JMP Securities LLC as its exclusive placement agents (the “Placement Agents”) for the offering of the Securities on a “best efforts” basis.

4. Registration Rights

(a). Rezolute shall use reasonable commercial efforts to (i) prepare and file with the SEC within sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date a registration statement (on Form X-0, XX-0, XX-0, X-0, or other appropriate registration statement form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) under the U.S. Securities Act (the “Registration Statement”), at the sole expense of Rezolute, in respect of Purchaser, so as to permit a public offering and resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Offered Shares (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) in the United States under the U.S. Securities Act by Purchaser as a selling stockholder and not as underwriter; and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible, but in any event not later than the earlier of ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing Date. Rezolute will notify Purchaser of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement within three (3) trading days (days in which the OTCQB is open for quotation).  The initial Registration Statement shall cover the resale of 100% of the Registrable Securities, for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (as promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the U.S. Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission having substantially the same purpose and effect as such Rule); provided, however, that if 100% of the Registrable Securities included hereunder cannot be registered, the number of Registrable Securities on the initial Registration Statement shall be reduced pro-rata among all Purchasers.

(b). Rezolute will use reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the Registration Statement or post-effective amendment filed under this Section 4 effective under the U.S. Securities Act until the earlier of the date (i) all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement or (ii) Purchaser  receives an opinion of counsel to Rezolute, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, the Company and the transfer agent, that the Registrable Securities may be sold under the provisions of Rule 144.

(c). All fees, disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred by Rezolute in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and in complying with applicable securities and “blue sky” laws (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees of Rezolute, registration, qualification, notification and filing fees, printing expenses, escrow fees, blue sky fees and expenses and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration) shall be borne by Rezolute.  Purchaser shall bear the cost of underwriting and/or brokerage discounts, fees and commissions, if any, applicable to the Registrable Securities being registered and the fees and expenses of its counsel.   Rezolute shall qualify any of the Registrable Securities for sale in such states as Purchaser reasonably designates.  However, Rezolute shall not be required to qualify in any state which will require an escrow or other restriction relating to Rezolute and/or the sellers, or which will require Rezolute to qualify to do business in such state or require Rezolute to file therein any general consent to service of process.  Rezolute at its expense will supply Purchaser with copies of the applicable Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein and other related documents in such quantities as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser.

(d). Purchaser will cooperate with Rezolute in all respects in connection with this Agreement, including timely supplying all information reasonably requested by Rezolute (which shall include completing the Selling Shareholder Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A, and all information regarding Purchaser and proposed manner of sale of the Registrable Securities required to be disclosed in any Registration Statement) and executing and returning all documents reasonably requested in connection with the registration and sale of the Registrable Securities and entering into and performing its obligations under any underwriting agreement, if the offering is an underwritten offering, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering.  Any delay or delays caused by Purchaser, or by any other purchaser of securities of Rezolute having registration rights similar to those contained herein, by failure to cooperate as required hereunder shall not constitute a breach or default of Rezolute under this Agreement. Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company’s obligations under this Section 4 with respect to the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement are subject to Purchaser or any other purchaser of securities of Rezolute having registration rights similar to those contained herein, timely providing the Company with the Selling Shareholder Questionnaire and all information reasonably requested by the Company to prepare and file the Registration Statement.

5. Market Stand-Off:  Purchaser further agrees, if so requested by the Company or any representative of its underwriters, to enter into such underwriter’s standard form of “lockup” or “market standoff” agreement in a form satisfactory to the Company and such underwriter. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of any such restriction period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall only apply to any Purchaser who own, at the time of such underwritten public offering, 3% of the issued and outstanding shares of common or preferred stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis.

6. Legend: The certificates representing the Offered Shares sold pursuant to this Purchase  Agreement will be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

ANNEX I

On March 24, 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Division of Corporation Finance, pursuant to delegated authority, granted a waiver to Canaccord Genuity Inc. (“Canaccord”) from the bad actor provisions of Rule 506(d) of Regulation D and Rule 262 of Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) that would otherwise apply to Canaccord due to an SEC administrative order issued on the same day.  In the administrative order, Canaccord, without admitting or denying any allegations, was ordered to cease and desist from violations of Section 5 of the Securities Act based on the initiation of research coverage for an issuer after Canaccord had been invited by the issuer to participate as an underwriter for a secondary stock offering that was planned for at least one month later.  Canaccord also was ordered to pay $407,481 in disgorgement, $42,717 in prejudgment interest and $100,000 in civil money penalties.
