© 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. 13 Proposed Mechanism of Action of Tonmya in the Treatment of PTSD: The Effects of Nocturnal Neuroreceptor Blockade on Sleep Cyclobenzaprine is a functional antagonist at serotonergic 5 - HT 2A receptors , noradrenergic  1 receptors , and histaminergic H 1 receptors REM, rapid eye movement; NREM, non - rapid eye movement; P - waves, ponto - geniculo - occipital waves Serotonergic projections from the dorsal raphe nuclei Inhibition of 5 - HT 2A receptors:  Slow - wave sleep  NREM spindles  REM P - waves Noradrenergic projections from the locus coeruleus Inhibition of  1 receptors:  REM fragmentation  Total sleep time Histaminergic projections from the tuberomammillary nucleus Inhibition of H 1 receptors:  NREM  Wakefulness The overall proposed effects of Tonmya on sleep leads to increased sleep - dependent consolidation of extinction memories, facilitating recovery from PTSD

 
 

© 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. 14 • Generally, serotonin (5 - HT) activity promotes the awake state and inhibits REM sleep; whereas once in REM sleep, the 5 - HT system is normally quiescent • Extinction learning is critical to recovery from trauma, and such new learning is consolidated (moving from labile short term to established long term memory) during particular stages of sleep 1,2 • Recent rodent research shows how particular brain wave patterns during REM sleep, known as “P - waves” are critical to extinction consolidation 3 • 5 - HT activation of pontine brainstem region richly expressing 5 - HT 2A receptors inhibits P - wave generation during REM 4 • Nocturnal blockage of 5 - HT 2A receptors may restore extinction consolidation by inhibition of errant 5 - HT stimulation during REM (see model in next 2 slides) Proposed Mechanism of Action of Tonmya in the Treatment of PTSD: Focus on Nocturnal 5 - HT 2A Receptor Blockade in REM 1.

© 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. 16 Overview of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) PSTD is a chronic disabling disorder in response to experiencing traumatic event(s) Symptoms of PTSD fall into four clusters: 1. Intrusion (aversive memories, nightmares, flashbacks) 2. Avoidance (avoiding persons, places or situations) 3. Mood/cognitions (memory block, emotional numbing, detachment from others) 4. Hyperarousal (anxiety, agitation & sleep disturbance) Diagnosis, symptom severity, as well as treatment effect, is determined by CAPS - 5* • Recognized as the standard for rating PTSD severity in clinical trials • Takes into account all four symptom clusters • Higher Total CAPS - 5 score reflects more severe PTSD symptoms * Clinician - administered PTSD scale for Diagnostic Statistical Manual version 5 (DSM - 5)

 
 

© 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. 17 Impact of PTSD on People Consequences: • Impaired daily function and substantial interference with work and social interactions • Reckless or destructive behavior • Increased health care utilization and greater medical morbidity PTSD as a risk factor for: • Depression • Alcohol or substance abuse • Absenteeism/unemployment • Homelessness • Violent acts • Suicidal thoughts and suicide

Agitation is one of the most distressing and debilitating of the behavioral complications of Alzheimer’s disease • Includes emotional lability, restlessness, irritability and aggression 1 Link between disturbed sleep and agitation in Alzheimer’s 1 - 3 • Agitation is commonly diurnal (“ sundowning ”) Prevalence • Agitation is likely to affect more than half of the 5.3 million Americans who currently suffer from moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease, and this number is expected to nearly triple by 2050 4 1 Rose, K.et al.

© 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. 92 Theoretical effectiveness of modern vaccinia vaccines are based on extrapolation from older vaccines • Newer/modern vaccines were not widely used when smallpox was endemic MVA ( Modified Virus Ankara) which has large deletions also produces different T cell responses • In non - human primates, MVA is less effective than ACAM2000 in protecting against monkeypox 1 • MVA has fewer epitopes, and elicits different responses to existing epitopes 2 • MVA effectiveness argument is based on the immune response to intracellular mature virus (IMV) • Immunity to the other form of virus, extracellular enveloped virus (EEV), is weak because the immunodominant B5 gene is heavily mutated and deleted in MVA What’s the Evidence of Effectiveness of Smallpox Vaccines for Preventing Smallpox? 1 Golden JW, et al.

© 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. 94 Pox vaccines with low or no replication appear safer than vaccines replicate fast in human cells • Canarypox and Imvamune ® (Modified Virus Ankara/MVA) appear to have good tolerability • Relatively safe in immunocompromised hosts • Rapidly replicating modern vaccinia vaccines ( Dryvax ® and ACAM2000®) are associated with myocarditis Replication correlates positively with immunogenicity • Jenner’s vaccine and modern vaccinia engender strong immunity • Canarypox and MVA appear to be weak immunogens, suitable for priming of the immune system in healthy human being and potentially safe enough to use in immunocompromised people Viral Replication Proficiency is Critical to Human Immunogenicity but May Compromise Safety

 
 

© 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. 95 TNX - 801 (HPXV) is expected to have similar scalability for mass production as ACAM2000 • TNX - 801 grows well in cell lines – immunity is expected after single administration (immunization) • Only a small dose (replicating live virus) is required for immunization MVA is hard to scale up for commercial production • Requires high dose to engender an immune response (non - replicating virus) • Cumbersome immunization schedule – two doses, 4 weeks apart, are used typically to prime the immune system (slow growth) Antivirals • Relatively expensive to manufacture – requires repeated dosing • May provide logistical challenges to at risk population over the at risk period Manufacturing and Dosing Requirements

 
 

© 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. 96 Vaccination protects against smallpox – both individuals and populations at risk • Use of Jenner’s vaccine resulted in eradication of smallpox Vaccination can protect AFTER smallpox infection • Vaccinia can be administered 1 - 3 days after infection Vaccination indirectly protects non - immunized people in a population • “Wetting the forest” or “herd immunity” Vaccination can be cost effective with safe/low - risk vaccines • Replication - efficient live virus vaccines can be manufactured and administered for broader use “The Time is Right” New synthetic biology technology and new understanding of vaccinia evolution provide an opportunity for a potentially safer vaccine using HPXV Rationale for Developing a Potentially Improved New Smallpox Vaccine Based on Jenner’s Vaccine

 
 

© 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. 97 Potential for Use of HPXV as a Vector for Vaccines to Infectious Disease or Cancer Poxviruses like HPXV can be engineered to express foreign genes and are well recognized platforms for vaccine development • Large packaging capacity for exogenous DNA inserts (i.e. encoding antigens) • Precise virus - specific control of exogenous gene insert expression • Lack of persistence or genomic integration in the host • Strong immunogenicity as a vaccine • Ability to rapidly generate vector/insert constructs • Readily manufacture at scale • Live, replicating vaccine – direct antigen presentation Potential advantages of HPXV - strong immunogenicity with good tolerability
