Entirely for Own Account. The Securities to be received by such Purchaser hereunder will be acquired for such Purchaser’s own
account, not as nominee or agent. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Purchaser to hold the

(d) No Broker-Dealer. Purchaser
is not a broker-dealer registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so
registered.
(e) Brokers
and Finders. No Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, any valid right, interest
or claim against or upon the Company or any Purchaser for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement
or understanding entered into by or on behalf of such Purchaser.
(f) Status
of Purchaser. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC
pursuant to the Securities Act (“Regulation D”) and meets the requirements of at least one of the suitability standards
for an accredited investor as set forth in Rule 501 of Regulation D. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives,
has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial, tax and other matters so as to be capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of, and to make an informed investment decision with respect to, the prospective investment in the Securities, which
represents a speculative investment, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the
economic risk of an investment in the Securities for an indefinite period and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(g) Acknowledgement
of Risk. Such Purchaser agrees, acknowledges and understands that its investment in the Securities involves a significant degree of
risk, including, without limitation that: (a) the Company is a development stage business with limited operating history and may require
substantial funds; (b) an investment in the Company is highly speculative and only Persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment
should consider investing in the Company and the Securities; (c) such Purchaser may not be able to liquidate its investment; (d) transferability
of the Securities is extremely limited; and (e) in the event of a disposition of the Securities, such Purchaser can sustain the loss of
its entire investment. Such Purchaser has considered carefully and understands the risks associated with an investment in the Securities.
(h) Restricted
Securities. Such Purchaser understands and agrees that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities laws, by reason of their issuance in a transaction that does not require registration under the Securities Act (based
in part on the accuracy of the representations and warranties of such Purchaser contained herein), and that such Securities must be held
indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition is registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws or is exempt
from such registration. Such Purchaser acknowledges that such Purchaser is familiar with Rule 144 and that such person has been advised
that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. Such Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available,
such Purchaser will be unable to sell any Securities without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another
exemption from such registration requirement.
(i) No
Short Sales. Each Purchaser agrees that during the term of the Transaction Documents that neither it nor any of its Affiliates will
engage in any short sales or hedging transactions with regard to any securities of the Company, including but not limited to the Securities
to be sold hereunder.
(j) Reliance
on Representations. Such Purchaser agrees, acknowledges and understands that the Company and its counsel are entitled to rely on the
representations, warranties and covenants made by such Purchaser herein. Such Purchaser further represents and warrants that (i) this
Agreement does not contain any untrue statement or a material fact or omit any material fact concerning such Purchaser and (ii) that the
Investor Questionnaire accompanying this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A does not contain any untrue statement
or a material fact or omit any material fact concerning such Purchaser.
(k) Investment
Intent; Blue Sky. Each Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for investment for such Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee
or agent, and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution thereof. Each Purchaser understands that the issuance
of the Securities has not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration
provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Investor’s
true and correct state of domicile, upon which the Company may rely for the purpose of complying with applicable Blue Sky laws.
(l) Access
to Company Information. Each Purchaser, in making the decision to purchase the Securities, has relied solely upon independent investigations
made by it and/or its representatives, if any. Each Purchaser has had an opportunity to review and discuss the Company’s business,
management, and financial affairs with the Company’s management. Each Purchaser understands that such discussions, as well as any
written information issued by the Company, were intended to describe the material aspects of the Company’s business. Each Purchaser
has also had an opportunity to review all materials provided to them by the Company in connection with this Agreement and to ask questions
of the officers of the Company. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it understands that the Company publishes periodic reports under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on the website of the SEC, which can be accessed at www.sec.gov. Such Purchaser has read the Company’s
periodic reports available online and acknowledges that such information is sufficient for the Investor to evaluate the risks of investing
in the Securities. The Purchaser is not relying on any disclosures concerning the Company made by the Company or any officer, employee
or agent of the Company, other than those contained in the public reports filed by the Company with the SEC.
(m) Regulation
D Exemption. Each Purchaser severally and not jointly hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company (which represenations,
warranties and covenants shall survive the closing of this Agreement) as of the date hereof and as of the Effective Date (as defined below)
that:
(i) The
entering into of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby do not result in the violation of any of the terms and provisions
of any law or regulation applicable to the Purchaser or of any agreement, written or oral, to which the Purchaser may be a party or byh
which the Purchaser is or may be bound;
(ii)
The Purchaser acknowledges that at the time Purchaser was offered the
Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),
(a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a)
under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act;
(iii) the
Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for investment purposes for its own account and not with a view to a distribution of all or any
part thereof. The Purchaser is aware that there are legal and practical limits on its ability to sell or dispose of the Securities and
therefore, that the Purchaser must bear the economic risk of its investment for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate
means of providing for its current needs and anticipated contingencies and has no need for liquidity of this investment. The Purchaser’s
commitment to illiquid investments is reasonable in relation to its net worth;
(iv) the
Purchaser (i) has such knowledge and experience in business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its prospectus
investment in the Securities; and (ii) has the ability to bear the economic risks of its prospective investment and can afford the complete

person has made any written or oral representation to the Purchaser: (i) that any person will resell or repurchase any of the Securities;

thereto, (y) an at-the-market offering, or (z) a registration of securities solely relating to an offering and sale to employees or directors

practicable, give written notice to the Investor of its intention to so register the offer and sale of Ordinary Shares and, upon the
written request, given within five (5) Business Days after delivery of any such notice by the Company, of the Investor to include in
such registration the Registrable Securities (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be included
in such registration), the Company shall cause all such Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement on the same
terms and conditions as the Ordinary Shares otherwise being sold pursuant to such registered offering.

and shall simultaneously provide the Purchaser with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition
of the securities covered thereby.
(c) Notwithstanding
the registration obligations set forth in this Section 6, if the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC informs
the Company that all of the unregistered Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for
resale as a secondary offering on a single Registration Statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the holders thereof
and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Registration Statement as required by the SEC and/or (ii) withdraw
the Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (the “New Registration Statement”), in either case
covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the SEC, on Form F-1 to register for resale the Registrable
Securities as a secondary offering. If the Company amends the Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case
may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as
allowed by the Staff or SEC, one or more registration statements on Form F-1 to register for resale those Registrable Securities that
were not registered for resale on the Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement, including those Shares purchased
